I have loved all of my FTX cars so I wish people would give them a bit more respect. Since getting into the hobby two years ago I have bought 9 RC's. My Corally has been great, as has my Absima. My 2 Team Associated are lovely cars but both had minor quality control issues. My HPI has been great. My latest buy, a Losi Hammer Rey has disappointed me, but my 3 FTX cars have all been perfect!
I'm not sure if the community agrees with me but I would live to see a 1/10 scale comparison video. Something that shows cars like this, the traxxis 4tec, rlaarlo, and other cars compared with each other to see the pros and cons of each brands offerings. I love the quality in your videos going into full detail. You also drive your cars more reasonably and aren't a "send it to the moon" kind of driver which I appreciate. Keep up the great work!
To be fair to the certain ' send it to the moon driver ' he does tend to do that to bashers, when he's driving 'on road cars ' like the Infraction etc he does usually run them in a car park,it's not to often he's taking this sort of car to the skatepark. Well maybe he does on it's first run just to see but in general he doesn't really send these types of cars to the moon
No KT pretty much bashes the hell out of all of the cars he test he tries his hardest to break them but that's the point of his videos and why people love him. I mean no it's not realistic for most of use but this way we get to see how much that particular car will take. Anyways I love both channels and don't think it fair to compare them the only thing they have in common other than about rc is they review cars. Oh but I love your idea of comparing cars I'd even go step further and say compare brands like FTX to Traxxas or Losi, most newbies go straight for name brand and miss out on great cars.
I went and bought an HNR8902 Panther from AT 99 Model . It's the same car I think. Took about 4 weeks to arrive and it is simply amazing ! Going to take out this weekend with my son , I've got 2s and 3s batteries to try I literally can't wait . Thanks for the recommendation really appreciate it Mark
I was a little surprised he didn't know how to reverse the gyro? He's been banging on about how good Dumbo RC controllers are for years, and it's a pretty simple thing to change.
I bought my first FTX truck end of August and it’s amazingly good value for money I got the Landrover with the two speed Transmission and working winch .
If I’m being honest, when this video started, I did not want to like this car, but between the handling and the top speed, you nailed it way to go FTX! Thanks Phil 💯🤙
Same here... I'm still not sure it's the best 1/10 I've seen him test though. Not with a plastic spur & non adjustable shocks. The red version of this car is really tempting too.
Great Film - Great Car. I love FTX, my first ever RC was a Kanyon, then a Ravine, Jimny and with your recommendation; the Tracker, all very capable vehicles.
At first I thought you were just being nice to the company to get sales but then the local hobby shop gave me one because I was very disappointed that one of my fusion pro motors got sold while I was on the way to pick them up. Driving on a straight road with this is not the best but drifting with it is actually very nice… i managed to smoothen out those rubber tyres in 5 minutes.. I wasn’t going to add this to my rc collection, I was going to play with it and then give it away but after having the most epic stress relief session drifting it, im definitely going to keep it. I have the red and black hnr version.. even with the gyro the wrong way round, its still drivable and fun..
FTX have stepped it up over the last couple of years and this is, as you say, going to be very popular I think and at the price it seems very reasonable. I’m very tempted to get one.
Man i loved it immediately , the lights are very cool with the way they light left and right and the front lights with these red circles. The body is very cool looking and very good lined up with the wheels that is a problem from some on road rc cars. Is very fast for a stock rc on road car and also accelerates very fast. I like the chassis design that is all covered with these nice lines. No body clips , what else you want ? For me is yes.
Great video! I watched it this morning and was so impressed with the car that I went I bought myself one this afternoon! Going to take it for a rip tomorrow 👍🏼
So glad I found your channel! Your videos are great!! From the footage, to the editing, to the music, to the information.... Keep up the great work!! Thanks!👍👍
I’ve never been a fan of ftx cars, but this video has made me rethink….. I may need to get myself one of these…. This & it’s big brother the superforza gt!
I’ve just got a Stinger after waiting weeks with them being on backorder. Straight out the box, it’s looks and feels solid and it stupidly fast - I’ve run it on 3S and it’s crazy fast but the tyres just can’t handle it, they ballon massively. Had an issue today when it just came to a grinding halt. I had rolled it so thought I’d done some damage but the 4WD had stopped working. The rear differential was still trying to go, but the front was jammed. After stripping the front diff, I discovered the pinion gear has a screw in it which had worked loose and jammed the spur gear from rotating. Doubt it’s anything to do with the crash, seems it had just worked loose so I’ve put it back together with threadlock. Hopefully, it’s just one of those things but worth checking if anyone else has the same issue.
Always look forward to the You Tube notifications showing up on my screen when you have posted a new video Phil & as always you never fail to deliver on some awesome content. well what a Fantastic review Phil of this awesome car from FTX, have to say what amazing value for the money, you have succeeded is selling me yet another FTX product, Keep up your great work mate of what you do best ! 🙏🏻👌🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼🏆🥇
I just started getting into RC cars (still dont own one yet but saving up) and Tomley was the first youtuber i came across, and the one that started the fire under my butt. I tried watching other YTers and..they just feel disingenuous and their personalities are over the top. like they are targeting 6 year olds.. Love this channel because its NOT directed towards kids.
Had trouble with gyro when I got mine, pressing the button on the receiver twice didn't work, but found a button on the opposite side of it that did work.
I thought this thing was based on the Fazer MKII chassis when I first saw it (I can't remember which brand that was, one of the three letter brands that are big in the south pacific) and it still looks a lot like a MadVan to me but maybe there's no connection. I wonder if Fazer MKII parts fit.
@@TomleyRC I think the sticker on the ESC and the design of how the motor mounts into the chassis being similar is what got me going on that train of thought, but yeah there are quite a few differences. Still mad that FS Racing stopped selling in the US just about the time I finally was going to pull the trigger on a DR8, hopefully someone picks up this platform and offers it state side.
Great looking car,, new to this hobby, my 5 year old son has got me interested... He has a Haiboxing 2996a coming for Christmas,,, This looks like it will developing into a hobby for him and I'm coming for the ride.. hahahaha.. I do have to agree though 37mph is very fast for an rc car of 1/10 (or slightly smaller) scale.. speed for the sake of making claims on the box doesn't mean its good to drive around... anyway, as I said new to this hobby so maybe I will think differently when I become more skilled at driving.. good video, really fun and informative channel.
THIS RC CAR IS STUNNING DUDE.................BEAUTIFUL MODEL. you never stop surprising us. thanks for that. i m french and i like your channel. the finger pointer is so ORIGINAL 👉🤣😅
looks a great RC well designed layout. So many Rc's seem to have issue's out the box even expensive ones that people just except for some reason, even the best brands. But this looks impressive especially for that price point.
@@TomleyRC metal gears is a plus. I like there is stuff that can be improved like adding adjustable shocks. I'm sure stuff will break all rc's do by design. but being FTX in the UK parts are cheap and available. I also think it's important to support a UK RC brand as UK citizens as reduces the costs and parts are more readily available. If we want them to survive and grow as brand then people need to buy when they release a good product, this looks a winner. Think this is one of few new RC releases I'm genuinely impressed by.
![Mini z Revenge [Mini z]](/img/n.gif)
If you ever stop using the finger pointer/ trombone combo, I’m unsubscribing😂
Always reminds me of tsuchiya 😂
Really enjoyed watching this video!! Looks like a great car.
Haha… deal
me as well😂thats just his thing😂
I always get a good chuckle from the "Alan! Alan!" meme

I like the dirt/dust runs with these street cars. Reminds me of Mad Max.

Going to take out this weekend with my son , I've got 2s and 3s batteries to try I literally can't wait . Thanks for the recommendation really appreciate it Mark
At least you managed to figure out the Gyro unlike a certain other flesh trombone I could mention...
I was a little surprised he didn't know how to reverse the gyro? He's been banging on about how good Dumbo RC controllers are for years, and it's a pretty simple thing to change.
I bought my first FTX truck end of August and it’s amazingly good value for money I got the Landrover with the two speed Transmission and working winch .
The Kanyon is a good choice 👌
I've got a ftx dr8 and a kyosho madvan.
Ftx= zero issues
Kyosho madvan = pain in the ass. Strips pinions, blows diffs.
Ftx all the way for me
Never cared about these idk how this popped up on my feed…watched the vid and thought that’s pretty dope…then the montage sold me bro lol good work
If I’m being honest, when this video started, I did not want to like this car, but between the handling and the top speed, you nailed it way to go FTX! Thanks Phil 💯🤙
Same here... I'm still not sure it's the best 1/10 I've seen him test though. Not with a plastic spur & non adjustable shocks. The red version of this car is really tempting too.
I liked the chassis, it's very wide and doesn't leave that gap open under the body, it's completely closed and looks more realistic.
Thank you Tomley RC ..great videos of the FTX Stinger and Supaforza GT..I had to get both.😄
Does it beat the infraction in the fun factor? It looks really good but i also love seeing the tire smoking of the infraction
Rewatching a Load of your videos Phil. Keep them coming please mate 👍🏼
Plenty more to come :)
I have to say, imo, looks as good as the hoonicorn and nice to see it performs as well too.
that skatepark footage was awesome, neat little drifter looks very composed, pretty quick too!
I've not really fancied an on road rc car before but this might just be the one that convinces me!
That was probably the best rc skatepark drift run 🔥
I might have to do a separate video of just that run.. I have a lot of footage haha
@@TomleyRC can’t wait!
Looks like a HobbyWing motor, too. I do enjoy their products (my Xmaxx gained about 10mph just by switching to a Max6).
I bookmarked this just the other night! Thanks for doing a review on it!
That is a lot of car for the money. Cracking RTR.
Yeah I agree
Wow. I never heard of this rc. I like it.
Great review! Only thing it's missing is Knight Rider sound effects when you showed what the lights did when you turned it on.
That color is killer! that is such a nice little kit!
Great Film - Great Car. I love FTX, my first ever RC was a Kanyon, then a Ravine, Jimny and with your recommendation; the Tracker, all very capable vehicles.
"Still stuck in 2015" LOL What a beautiful car! Nice video, great shots at the park! Thank you 🙂
The rear spoiler seems to be tilted upward a little bit which could provide uplift on the back reducing stability. Instead of downforce
I strongly agree with the finger pointer and trombone combo 😂 love it
haha
Thank you for introducing me to a lipo charge bag. Didn't know these were a thing

Hi tomley got mine delivered last night not driven it yet have to read manual lot to learn lol maybe get as good as you at driving lots of practice!!!
FTX have stepped it up over the last couple of years and this is, as you say, going to be very popular I think and at the price it seems very reasonable. I’m very tempted to get one.
The lights from the rear like K.I.T.T from knight Rider ..for Micheal knight🤣🤣
That skatepark montage with the music was perfect.
Great review as always! Thank you.
Yay. A proper full Tomley Vid. Thank you

Awesome bit of kit..can't believe how fast it is! 😮
Crazy isn’t it! I think gearing down a couple of teeth would be perfect 👌
Another brilliant video 👌
您甩尾的技術真不錯
Great video! I watched it this morning and was so impressed with the car that I went I bought myself one this afternoon! Going to take it for a rip tomorrow 👍🏼
Ftx are smashing it nowadays. Loving their stuff
That looks really good. Love the Charger look. The power and rtr nature is really good for that model. Nice model from ftx.
Awesome car Phil. Can’t believe the speed on 3s. Unreal
So glad I found your channel! Your videos are great!! From the footage, to the editing, to the music, to the information.... Keep up the great work!! Thanks!👍👍
Looks awesome in the low light with the head lights

I just started getting into RC cars (still dont own one yet but saving up) and Tomley was the first youtuber i came across, and the one that started the fire under my butt.
I tried watching other YTers and..they just feel disingenuous and their personalities are over the top. like they are targeting 6 year olds..
Love this channel because its NOT directed towards kids.
Thanks dude... I try to have fun without going to the default 'UA-camr' setting
Had trouble with gyro when I got mine, pressing the button on the receiver twice didn't work, but found a button on the opposite side of it that did work.
I absolutely FELL IN LOVE. PERIOD
😎🤘
That montage at the skate park was amazing!!!! You have talent

Love the FTX/RGT lineups. Have several of these and love them all. The FTX street cars caught my eye now. Thank U again Phil!
The hobby getting so cool and prices have become reachable to most people
Great looking and performing car. I think ftx are awsome.
What a fantastic little machine . Most interesting car of the year so far
Great looking car,, new to this hobby, my 5 year old son has got me interested...

This is definitely on my wish list 🔥🔥🔥
Bold claims, I’m liking 👌
Big big FTX fan here, they have a line up to suit all tastes including the superior nitro sector.
You Nail this review, yeah i'm getting One, indeed!!!
Actually quite surprised at that car it seems like a great deal and it's on sale right now for under $200 American so a really good price too
What a ball tearer . Can’t believe how good it is
Grrr not for the US, tho I know UK gets screwed by Horizon and Traxxas so I guess a fair deal?
Night Rider style lights in the back‼️👍👍🦾🦾🤘🤘
FTX make great cars for the price. Unbelievably fast
Im more interested in the skatepark lmao.. that's why i clicked..😂 looks sick asf
Cool vid as always. That is a nice car, FTX really making a name for themselves.
What pitch size are the gears.. ? Question
By far one of the coolest things you've reviewed on your channel 👍
This car looks awesome!!!
I'm limited these days on where i can go with a street ride, but that wouldn't stop me from buying another one.
10:09 is easily one of the coolest R/C shots I've ever seen on the internet
Picked up the HNR Panther, same car, hard to control on 3s when full throttle, and tires wear out pretty quick, anyone find good tires for it?
That thing is downright impressive. I’ll be picking one up when they’re in stock.
THIS RC CAR IS STUNNING DUDE.................BEAUTIFUL MODEL. you never stop surprising us. thanks for that. i m french and i like your channel. the finger pointer is so ORIGINAL 👉🤣😅
Is it possible to get this in the u.s.
Race it vs that arma felony
Another awesome video💚
Great looking car just shows you don't need to spend traxxis money to have fun
Ftx have definitely come on a long way well worth the money 🤙🏻🏎

I don't do car rc but I did enjoy your videos. Super review and video of the car.
Well now, great video, car looks and performs awesome, i would have one for sure if i did road cars
got a ftx outback paso last week great bit of kit
I love the look of the FTX stinger it looks really cool 👍
As someone else said i would lovee to see this compared to the rlaarlo, the 4tec 2.0 and maybe redcats offering and the fazer.
Ohh I like it ! Looks just like my Gauntlet Hellfire in gta . Love the Cylon / Kitt startup lights
the stingers slides better than the WRX you just did a video on
Dam good for the price. If I didn't have a tto2 that has been sitting unassembled for about 2 years I'd get one
bro was waiting for you to post this for long time!!
This car looks just amazing, i need to get one by myself. Super Video, thanks
Yes please... I need one in my life. 😀👍
Awesome review I'm very interested in one and I'd love to see more FTX here in the states
The lights remind me of kit. From the night rider show. That's a cool feature.
That looks like a great car. I don't know of any local shops in the U.S. near me that sell them. They should.
i really like the FTX cars im getting this in the next few week for an up coming project :)
Where are parts sold, , 😅
