Technical Performance
The FMS 1:10 F100 Chassis provides the structural platform required for a complete 1/10 scale RC truck build. As a chassis-only component, its performance characteristics will ultimately be determined by the motor, ESC, battery and other systems you select to pair with it. The chassis itself is engineered to precision tolerances using quality materials consistent with FMS's reputation in the RC hobby market. When you source compatible components—such as brushless motors, modern electronic speed controllers, lithium polymer batteries and quality servo systems—you'll be able to create a fully functional ready to run or custom-built RC truck capable of impressive speeds and reliable performance. The modular nature of this chassis means you have complete control over the final specification: you might choose a lower-powered brushed motor and 2S LiPo battery for a beginner-friendly build, or opt for a brushless motor running 3S or 4S lithium polymer power for higher performance. Build quality reflects FMS's engineering expertise, ensuring your chassis will provide years of reliable service whether you're running on-road or off-road surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FMS 1:10 F100 Chassis suitable for RC car beginners in the UK? — Yes, this chassis works well for beginners when paired with appropriate beginner-friendly components. Choosing a brushed motor, quality ESC, basic 2S LiPo battery and simple radio system will create an affordable, easy-to-maintain first RC truck. However, you'll need to source these components separately, so first-time builders may prefer a complete ready to run kit if they'd rather not make individual purchasing decisions.
- What motor size and type does this chassis support? — The source material does not specify exact motor size compatibility or mounting specifications. We recommend contacting FMS directly or consulting the chassis manual (available from FMS) to confirm which motor sizes and types are compatible with this platform.
- What battery does the FMS F100 Chassis need? — The chassis itself is battery-agnostic and will work with standard LiPo or LiFe batteries commonly used in 1/10 scale RC cars. Your battery choice—whether 2S, 3S or 4S configuration—will depend on the motor and ESC you select. A beginner setup might use a 2S 5000mAh LiPo battery, whilst more experienced builders might opt for 3S or 4S for higher speeds and performance.
- Does this come fully assembled and ready to run? — No, this is a chassis-only component. It provides the structural foundation for your build but requires motors, ESC, battery, radio system, servo(s), body shell, wheels and tyres to be complete. It is not a ready to run RTR package.
- Is the FMS 1:10 F100 Chassis waterproof? — The source material does not provide waterproofing specifications for the chassis itself. Waterproofing will depend on the electronic components you select to pair with it. Choose waterproof-rated ESC and servo options if you plan to run in wet conditions or splash through water.
- What warranty and support does FMS offer? — FMS provides a 90-day warranty on electronic accessories from the date of delivery, and customers are entitled to long-term official technician support. A 30-day return policy covers new and unused products purchased directly from FMS, including items that are defective, dead on arrival, or damaged in shipping.

For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.

- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
