I like that dude....too many people hate on this brand for no good reason other than snobbishness!..,as an owner of several of the big name, main stream crawlers,I bought a FTX Outback 2 for my kids and it is brilliant!....goes places my heavily modified crawlers cant and all at a brilliant price point!!!....get over it RC Snobs and embrace all to our hobby!.
Couldn't agree more, if people want a comparison of just how good FTX are have a look at my channel where i took my stock £100 FTX Ravine up against Tomley's £1,000 build "Golden Goat" Capra..... (And once i get a set of these wheels and tyres fitted to the Ravine, i am going to challenge him to a rematch !! As the tyres were the only thing that held the ravine back !)
It's already on the market under the RGT name of the HSP brand. It's called RGT FJ Desert Fox and it's available from several retailers. Btw I'm driving my RGT EX86100 for a while now and that thing's a blast! Great competitor to the big brands. Can easily hold up without any major mods. :) Like the brand very much.
FTX like any other manufacturers are just finding their way, you gotta start somewhere. Keep an eye on these guys and buy one now while they are reasonably priced! As demand always ups price!
That's a great looking truck, and performs as well as it looks!! My son has a Mauler, and that goes well. This looks like a big step up from that. FTX must be listening to their customers. 👍🏻
Its certainly a good looking truck . Never owned anything from FTX , so i cant say im familiar with the brand , However you made the truck shine performance and ability seems impressive . Definitely something i would consider .
I'm totally cool with FTX rebranding solid Chinese brands and bringing reliable, quick part support to UK model shops. Looking forward to that Jimny release!
Pretty much every part of every rc car will be made in China anyway. They are the world leaders in technology and scientific advancement, it's just the west does not wish to say that.
I love your videos man. For some reason they are very therapeutic. I think it’s they was tour voice sounds lol. Has anyone ever told you that you look like DJ London Elektricity?
Now then Phil, you did FTX proud with this video, and it does look a winner, maybe a 2 speed trans would be nice for trailing but if the price is right i might just be tempted great work mate well done
At first i was like oh god just what the world needs another plastic crawler but i have to say that lil beauty completely changed my mind that body is sweet and it really digs in and climbs my only concern is whats the after market upgrade parts going to be like i dont know much about FTX but im kind of a crawler snob those plastic axle housings would have to go and portals would be a necessity but like i said its a nice lil truck so far
First, stuff happens, you sounded fine, the sound truck made sounded fine actually the truck sounded great. FTX has done their work well. You mentioned the four link could be changed to give more articulation. I thought the suspension looked really smooth and worked WITH the tires exceedingly well. It didn't have that jarring, stutter step, bouncey dismount from obsticals. Approach angle seemed really good, it did drag a little bit on the rear but for a RTR it's a good comprimise. Granted, it's probably a well groomed. tweaked to perfection prototype. If the production models are this good out of the box and price is reasonible they have a winner..
Yes the front 4 link is slightly better with one link removed. The Panhard bar acts as one of the top links, so with one removed toy get a little more flex. But you are right... it performs really well straight out the box
I think and ftx and rgt are basically one in the same just different names the rgts seem to be more in the US anf ftx in Europe,but both have ties to absima because they were first to have both models out.
NICE! Looks to be quite a capable trail rig/crawler. Might be an extra mm on those wheel wells that could be trimmed, but those tires are serious enough to get you over and through a great deal I am sure. Send er’ on over here for the durability test! 😂
Just got one of these off the back of your review. Experiencing a bit if wheel rub in one direction. But found it to need a bit more weight to make it less top heavy. Can you recommend any products, brass wheels weights etc which will fit the wheels and axles. Which will help to keep it planted and roll less? Many thanks
Great transfer case engineering to eliminate torque twist 👍🏻will a brushless version be available ? I know its an easy mod to do yourself, 👊🏻👍🏻🇬🇧 Thanks for the info, Great location
Now that's a nice looking rig Phil,have they given any idea as to what the price is going to be? I love the fact that they've gone with a reverse transfer case,to eliminate any torque twist. Those tyres look to be pretty decent for a set of RTR ones.
Ooo, I actually fancy a scale crawler, finally. I really like the Toyota's appearance, even though I don't like the trend for rounded off corners on some offroaders.

i agree , my son and I have an FTX Kanyon and we love it . Absolutely nothing wrong with it and its fab

i guess it is kind of off topic but do anyone know a good site to watch newly released movies online ?
@Benjamin Azariah Flixportal :P
@Lorenzo Carmelo thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it!!

Sold! Haven't even watched the whole video, lol! That's the mini version of what I want in real life! Color and all.
The real ones do look pretty cool!
Nicely done mate. Love the way you showed the kits abilities, and the ending was tastefully done.
I have used a lot of the truck on the market this is hands down the most attractive ftx truck I have seen and looks like a great truck
I love that full spare. ...It adds so much to the scale aspect.....Crawls exceptionally well. Love it.
FTX like any other manufacturers are just finding their way, you gotta start somewhere. Keep an eye on these guys and buy one now while they are reasonably priced! As demand always ups price!
Yes!

Amazing performance. Perfect video. Nice job Tomley!!
This thing looks like a gen8 and an scx10.2 merged into one. Great video as always
Nice save at 8.42 Phil!
Yes lol... I actually did another exactly the same just after, but had the camera pointing off to the side
Love your videos, your my favorite UA-camr, enjoy the coffee
Thanks dude
The body looks good
Nice looking truck. I like that it doesn't seem to have the typical esc hum that most lower cost R/C's always seem to have. Nice and quiet.
Yes, it’s was nice and smooth. As with all RTR’s... a little extra grease in the gearbox and diffs would make it even better
Its certainly a good looking truck . Never owned anything from FTX , so i cant say im familiar with the brand , However you made the truck shine performance and ability seems impressive . Definitely something i would consider .
Yep that's my birthday pressie sorted 😁😁👍👍 think I'm turning into an ftx fan boy 😂😂
Haha... they make some good stuff!
Might be my next 10th scale crawler. Or the Trailrunner.
Got the RGT version of this. Looks very good in person and crawling is excellent for the price.
I'm totally cool with FTX rebranding solid Chinese brands and bringing reliable, quick part support to UK model shops. Looking forward to that Jimny release!

Nice truck. Good footage. Continuously STRANGE music choices.
Hey Tomley. It's Denis from Canada. Just so you know, RGT sells the exact same one on Aliexpress... it's called the RGT Desert Fox EX86120...
That was a nicely made video. 👍👍
Awesome, looks like it's ready to head out on an Icelandic glacier. 👍
I love your videos man. For some reason they are very therapeutic. I think it’s they was tour voice sounds lol. Has anyone ever told you that you look like DJ London Elektricity?
Pretty impressive truck, Tomley! Seems unstoppable! 😮
Awesome review and edit!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks mate 😎🤟
That's the first crawler body I've seen that I'm actually interested in. Beautiful vehicle... ...soundtrack wasn't too Shabby either sir! 😎
Cheers dude. Looks nice
Awesome Video Phil.....
Thanks Dexter
looks fantastic
Now then Phil, you did FTX proud with this video, and it does look a winner, maybe a 2 speed trans would be nice for trailing but if the price is right i might just be tempted great work mate well done
Yes, a 2 speed with a nice low ratio would work really well!
If there ever was a guy meant to have a worldwide RC show its Tom! Cant believe youre not on the discovery Channel or something lol
True I think it’s good he tells something about the specs to learn us things
Appreciate the kind comments
they have my vote if price is friendly. Great presentation, brief straightup n precise. Thanks
Looking nice 👍. Cool cool stuff
Cool looking crawler with nice features! Hopefully price won't go too high.
Looks like a budget version of the Absima kamba. Very cool
I’ve got the YiKong version of the Absima... decent truck, very comparable with the TRX4
@@TomleyRC my Dad has the Absima Sherpa and your right they are awesome rigs once you sort the body flying open on rolls issue.

Really diggin that they made an FJ. I just built a TRX4 with and HPI FJ body to match my full scale FJ.
Sounds good! I bet it performs well
Epic video will be getting one of these for sure
Is there anyway to check and see if the gears are greased out of the box? Just a little something that shows extra quality or what it’s really about
Nothing wrong with that. Great crawler. Noisy electronics but that can be fixed.

Not really into Crawlers but that looks awesome mate. Really well presented too.. Good job!
I think and ftx and rgt are basically one in the same just different names the rgts seem to be more in the US anf ftx in Europe,but both have ties to absima because they were first to have both models out.
Finally, oh my gosh finally.🤣 thanks bro
I like the medium tires
Cool looking rig!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Looks a nice truck would be cool seeing one when they come out
I really like that rig, honestly I've never heard of that company before, I'm HIGHLY INTERESTED, The yellow one is sharp
Not sure about the relationship between FTX and RGT, but the RGT version is already in Banggood, RGT EX86120, $386 US
They are the same, just rebranded
@@TomleyRC You still have the only FTX in the world 😉, thanks for the great videos.
I'm guessing the clicking sound was the tryes catching the body rather than slipping gears ?
NICE! Looks to be quite a capable trail rig/crawler. Might be an extra mm on those wheel wells that could be trimmed, but those tires are serious enough to get you over and through a great deal I am sure. Send er’ on over here for the durability test! 😂
Yes, a little adjustment to stop it rubbing... but a decent effort for it 😎
I really like the FJ body and tires. It seems very capable. I wish it had inner fenders wells to finish off the body a bit more.
Lol it is gonna be released on my birthday! So someone send me one pls😂 just joking! Very nice video tomley!,!
Haha
June 16 in my case. 😬
Haha Nice
Audios good mate glad I couldn't hear the wind bashing the cam that's the worst thing looks alot better than the mn models
Looks proper 👍
Looks great.
Looks nice, wonder what $ will be in the us
The bee's knees!
Wow amazing video loved it 👍

I doubt they will do a brushless... but a Hobbywing Axe or Fusion would be good

Ooo, I actually fancy a scale crawler, finally. I really like the Toyota's appearance, even though I don't like the trend for rounded off corners on some offroaders.
Big ole G.M.C would be nice step side pre
finally !!!!! I was wondering if they would make THEIR version of the desert fox
The RGT version is already out on banggood, I really like RGT. I almost got a second one after getting my wife one and really like it
Love my FTX Ravine...
Looks fantastic love ftx
oh yes I'm excited about this one. cheers for the video bud 😀👍
I like it! I currently run the Outback Ranger XC. But want to upgrade to a 1/10 in the near future so will see how it turns out.
...any news on the arrma talion v5 release?
That looks nice good job on the vid
Thanks dude
Scratch that, 2 sets of those tyres one for my FTX Ravine, one for "Brawn".
Does it comes with 2 speed?
No
That’s awesome man really like that truck ftx always have good solid trucks!!
Cheers dude
RGT have released it all ready so no need to wait 👍
my wife WOULD NOT let me get the dessert fox btw......this truck is Awesome ! I have the Rgt Pioneer and its 85% of a traxxas all day
Ftx are fab I love the look of this
If the price is right I will have to get it
For sure!
Same price has to be right what would you guys say is the right price
That is sick I love the looks I want one
It that yekong? Or another looks like yekong crawler🤗
Looks the same as the RGT one....have you seen the new RGT 1/10th Jimny (ROCK CRUISER RC4 V3) looks awesome
Yes it’s the same... FTX will also be releasing the Jimny at some point
Is RFT twins with RGT🤔
Like that a lot, cool vid man
the wheels and tyres look like 2.2 am I correct? maybe it might benefit from 1.9?
1.9’s.... but tyres are quite big
amazing video bro 🍻🇯🇲
Cheers dude
I love it. I want it!
when i saw the thumbnail i was like is that an ftx geo?
Will this be available as a kit or only RTR?
Which is better zp1001 or ftx zorro?
and price
I want those wheels and tires ! Are they selling them separately ??
Is this better than the Texan?
'Ery noice mate innit
😅
A look at the FTX Outback 2 would be cool, I understand you have reviewed similar but I have it with a 1080 HW esc and it’s really good for the price
Completely agree with you there,my Outback 2's coming up for 2 years old now,it's only casualty has been a burned out servo.
I just ordered the new Wltoys 1/10 buggy when do you think they will be shipping them Tomski 😉..?
That looks very similar to the Absima crawlers?
Looked at one of these in Otley Modelsport today - do you know if it's rated to handle 3s please? I forgot to ask at the shop.
I’m sure they do run okay on 3s, but in my experience it’s not really needed
Is it drying out in there ? Looking forward to a play in the quarry.
Yeah, nice and dry down there at the mo.
looks nice, is there any price info ?
Nice ftx make good cars av got a few 👍
Great rig Tom... I wonder the price ...is it worth or not... thx for sharing 👌🤩👍
It will be around £285... about half a TRX4
