GMC Sierra – The Modern Truck That Turned Heads
One of the biggest surprises this month was the FCX18S GMC Sierra. While classic trucks often steal the spotlight, this modern pickup quickly won over fans with its distinctive styling and attention to detail.
What we love most are the little design touches that make the Sierra instantly recognizable: the antenna mounted on the cab, the bold C-shaped lighting, the tall, commanding grille, and even the subtle dip in the hood line just before the windshield. It's packed with character from every angle.
If your RC collection is already full of Jeeps, Broncos, and K5s, the Sierra offers something refreshingly different. It's a modern truck with a unique personality, making it a great choice for anyone looking to stand out on the trail.

K10 Stuntman Mod – All Attitude, No Apologies
Inspired in equal parts by custom truck culture and gritty grindhouse movies, the K10 Stuntman Mod is one of the most distinctive builds we've released yet.
After launching our previous stepside bed conversion, we received plenty of feedback from customers who loved the look but wanted more color options and a lower price point. The Stuntman Mod is our answer. Finished in an aggressive matte-black scheme from top to bottom, this truck delivers maximum attitude while keeping things simple.
By retaining the original K10 wheels and tires, we were able to keep costs down and make this unique build more accessible without sacrificing the features that made the stepside conversion so popular in the first place.
The result is a truck that looks like it just rolled off the set of a cult action movie—tough, purposeful, and ready to make a statement wherever it goes. It may just be one of the coolest mods we've built so far.

FCX18S K10 Mod Mystery Box – Which One Will You Get?
We've released quite a collection of custom K10 builds over the past year, and now you have the chance to pick one up for the same price as a standard FMS K10. There's just one catch – you won't know which version you're getting until you open the box.
Possible Mystery Box trucks include our popular Classic Flatbed Mod, available in clean white, blue, or black finishes and equipped with a practical 3D-printed flatbed. You might receive the Stepside Bed Mod, which brought a beautifully detailed stepside conversion to the FCX18S platform, or, if you prefer a more factory-inspired look, one of our glossy blue repaints that stay closer to the original truck's styling.
No matter which version arrives, every Mystery Box truck comes fitted with upgraded aluminum wheels and our super-soft crawling tires, giving you both great looks and trail-ready performance right out of the box.
And for those who enjoy a surprise, we've also slipped a brand-new, never-before-released K10 mod into a selection of boxes. You'll have to take a chance to find out if you're one of the lucky owners!

Tip of the Month – Finding the Perfect Balance
|
|
When it comes to improving crawler performance, adding weight isn't always theanswer. Adding weight in the right place is.
A common mistake is loading an RC crawler with brass parts wherever possible. While this certainly increases traction, too much weight high up on the chassis can make your rig feel sluggish and increase the chances of rolling over on side hills.
Instead, focus on placing weight low and forward. Brass wheel weights, steering knuckles, portal covers, and axle components help lower the center of gravity while also putting more weight over the front tires, where most crawling traction is needed. Many experienced crawlers aim for roughly 60% of the vehicle's weight on the front axle and 40% on the rear.
When adding brass upgrades, make changes gradually and test after each modification. A crawler that feels planted on climbs but still remains nimble and predictable on descents is usually a sign you've found a good balance.
Remember: the goal isn't the heaviest crawler—it's the best-balanced crawler. A few carefully chosen brass upgrades often outperform a truck loaded with weight everywhere.
