    Version Info: This truck is delivered as "RTR", however does require 4 x AAA batteries for the transmitter sold separately (see Requires below for details).

    The iconic Chevy K5 Blazer has been faithfully recreated in 1/24 scale by FMS! Officially licensed, this innovative masterpiece features a capable, heavy duty four-link suspension system coupled with a two-speed transmission that can be remotely shifted on the transmitter. The low speed setting is ideal for powerful climbs, while the top speed delivers a spirited driving experience. The included electronics package, rechargeable 7.4v 380mAh battery, and convenient USB charger creates a truly complete assortment.

    Enjoy an impressively realistic micro-crawling experience by combining the versatile, go-anywhere fun of FMS Crawlers with Motion RC’s parts and technical support, industry-leading customer service and product selection for a package that cannot be beat!
    Available In 3 Color Choices

    The molded hard plastic body offers three attractive color options to best express your style. Or, collect all three!
    Cap or Roll Bar

    Customize the K5 to your liking with a bed cap, or use the included roll bar for an open bed look.
    High Clearance Portal Axles

    Equipped with precision off-road portal axles, the chassis has improved the minimum ground clearance through the portal axles, so it has off-road performance far exceeding that of products of the same size.
    High-Performance Chassis Frame

    The integrally formed frame is made of high-strength nylon, allowing for a lower center of gravity, lighter weight, and higher strength than traditional models.
    Terrain-Focused Tires

    Tires and metal plating wheels come with tremendous grip and precise steering character, giving driver confidence while navigating rough off-road conditions whatever rocks, mud, and sand.
    Safer & Longer Lifespan Battery

    The 7.4 volts LiPo battery with 380mAh provides strong power for up to 30 minutes of running time. While built-in PCM (protective circuit management) can protect the battery from overcharging/over-discharging for higher safety and reliability.

    Both TX and rx are bound. I can turn the lights on. Nothing else responds. Neither steering or acceleration. Any suggestions?

      Is the battery charged? Often the LiPo will have enough voltage to illuminate the LED's but not operate the servo or motor. Secondly, I suggest checking the servo and ESC connectors in the receiver to insure the integrity of those connections.

        It is charged. It was a new FMS battery to be used as a spare. When I put the original back in after charging everything works fine.

          I see, sounds like a DOA battery. Glad it wasn't anything more serious. FMS or Motion RC customer service will most likely make it right for you. Thanks for responding!
