Fms K10 1:18 Chevrolet 4WD Brushed RTR

Introduction

Every Chevrolet truck has its own story behind it. Pickup trucks have always been an American car culture and the symbol of the American spirit. This was until GM’s brought a new set of naming principles – the C for rear-wheel drive and the K for four-wheel drive in their all-new lineup of Chevrolet pickups. With a tailgate that lowers the loading height, a spacious cab and a sunken frame, FMS’new 1:18 CHEVROLET K10 adheres to the revolutionary “square body” and features a perfectly replicated K series in terms of 4wd, metal beams, aluminum frame rails and reliable multi-link suspension system. RC model pickups with hard plastic bodyshells are rare and precious, when mostly SUVs dominate the area. The large cargo space and retractable tailgate makes it easy to carry all kinds of 1/18 simulation parts such as motorcycles, kayaks and various camping equipment. As a perfect 1/18 duplicate, the FMS CHEVROLET K10 shares the same linear design with the real car, as well as a curved grille and outside front bumper. Elegant detailing with a premium two-tone color scheme, the body’s mirrors and front and rear bumpers. Move the camera and focus on the spacious and comfortable car’s interior, from the bench seats to a center console and steering wheel. Open the hood and explore the large inside space where the motor, ESC, receiver and battery are readily accessible, making upgrading an easy task. Light sets have linked light control functions with light control plug-ins including headlights, turn signals and reverse lights. Scale replica K10 tires and wheels as featured on the real truck, moulded in a soft all-terrain pattern for running on any terrain. The 1/18 Chevrolet K10 – perfect as a static model until you switch on and imagine yourself behind the wheel of a legendary Chevy Pick-up! A surprise gift from FMS for you in 2021.
