Looks like best I can tell these are supposed to drop next month.

Looks like there is similar Ford Raptor version already out on the market.
They have an Amazon store. These are far from cheap coming in at over $800.
Just curious if anyone has anything similar from this manufacturer.
Is it really worth that sort of money?

Looks like it has a nice body on it. More of a scaler than a true desert racer with that hard body and all those lights.

I bet this is the exact same truck but with a Ford body. It shows the electronics later in this vid.

If it wasn't for the space age scooter sound it makes, I would almost think it's the real deal in the vid. Good looking rig.

I was thinking the same thing. I think it's supposed to be a trail truck. Not the desert racer they made it out to be in the vid. It has a trans that allows you to select fwd, 4wd, or rwd.

Well oddly enough the real TRX can’t do that, it’s full time 4wd. Lol
With 700 hp it needed to be .
I thought the same thing it looks really scale. Very realistic imo. And I used to own a real one.

I really hope they offer it in a white livery.

I wonder if those are actually licensed bodies.

Have you seen the FMS desert truck?

It looks like FMS is taking on the Arrma Mojave and Traxxas UDR.

Great vids!
Great scale bodies!
And yes, far from cheap.
If it fits your wants and needs... perfect.

I was wondering the same thing, based on the price and the dead on appearance, I would think they have to be.
I think about some of the China stuff like BE Goodrich tires.
Where they purposely change the spelling or minor design and or logo stuff.
The RAM and Ford trucks are spot on , I would think they had to license them if they ever hope to sell them in the US and other law biding countries.

Very cool !
Just looking at it, the wheel base looks a bit on the short side, which the Bronco is a short vehicle, just looks like in the video it looks very scale and awesome, it does not seem on par with a UDR in handling or stability.

Would love to get my hands on one of those and check it out.

I truely love solid rear axles and trailing arm scale desert trophy truck designs.

So far I have been picking up a few non UDR like desert trucks. Like my new BR2s and a couple 2wd desert trucks.
I have yet to find anything truly on par with the UDRs. .

My current Favorite RCs
UDR is my number 1
Losi BR2s is my number 2
MAXX Slash is my number 3
Slash Ultimate is my number 4 use to be my number 1.
The Rustler 4x4 Ultimate is my number 5

Well I saw a pic of the Ford Raptor version on Amazon that is making me second guess my thoughts they licensed there products.
This pic seems to now point to a different answer, lol
Nope not licensed! lol

This pic is also on Amazon so I am a bit curios what deal is.
