FMS Hobby, a leader in high-fidelity RC crawlers, is proud to announce its FCX10 Land Rover Camel Trophy Edition, bringing together Land Rover’s iconic design and the rugged, adventurous spirit of the Camel Trophy in a 1:10 scale ready-to-run (RTR) package.

Available now in the U.S., the FCX10 series captures the heritage, performance, and authenticity that off-road enthusiasts demand — without sacrificing scale realism or trail capability.

A Legacy of Exploration, Captured in Scale

The Camel Trophy once stood as the ultimate test of endurance – a grueling expedition across jungles, deserts, and mountains where only the most capable 4x4s survived. FMS brings this spirit to life with its Land Rover lineup, featuring three officially licensed models:

• FMS 1:10 FCX10 Land Rover Camel Trophy (Range Rover)
• FMS 1:10 FCX10 Land Rover Camel Trophy (Defender 110)
• FMS 1:10 FCX10 Land Rover Camel Trophy (Discovery)

Availability & Pricing

FCX10 Land Rover Camel Trophy (Range Rover, Discovery, Defender 110) — MSRP around $389.99.

FMS also supports a 30-day return policy for new, unused orders (from its U.S. store) and provides long-term technical support.

Each model is engineered with an officially licensed Land Rover body, faithfully reproducing the lines, proportions, and rugged presence of its full-size counterpart. The attention to detail is evident — from side mirrors and snorkels to working spotlights and a fully realized interior layout.

Built to Conquer: Performance Meets Durability

Underneath the scale-accurate body lies the proven FCX10 crawler chassis, tuned for trail dominance:

• Metal oil-filled shocks deliver stable, controlled suspension across rough terrain.
• A front-center motor layout, along with straight axles and a four-link suspension, ensures a low center-of-gravity and excellent traction control.
• The drivetrain features all-metal gears and a rugged build, designed for real off-road wear and tear.
• A patented quick-release body system allows for fast maintenance, while a magnetic lighting system powers pre-installed headlights, turn signals, reverse lights, and roof spotlights — all without messy wiring.
• Steering precision is aided by a 25 kg metal servo backed by a 550 brushed 32T motor, giving the rig both torque for crawling and responsiveness for tighter maneuvers.

Designed for Every Adventure Scenario

Whether it's urban cruising, backyard exploration, or rock-strewn trails, the FCX10 Land Rover is set for action:

1. Urban Cruising – With its realistic lighting system and polished body, it's equally at home under street lights as it is on dirt.
2. Outdoor Adventure – Rugged bumpers and all-terrain tires mean rocks, dirt, or gravel don’t slow it down.
3. Jungle Challenge – Tough suspension and trail-ready power let it power through mud, roots, and steep climbs, echoing the spirit of the Camel Trophy.
4. Family Fun – It’s accessible for beginners (ages 14+) but engaging for experienced crollers.
