Hi Jake, absolutely amazing video for all the ftx torro lovers out there, just a quick question, this model comes with a built in fail safe, why would you add another one? Thanks buddy Keep up the great work 👌
3 tanks is only the very beginning of break-in, but yes -- most people don't even bother to do that much. The longer and easier the break-in period, the longer the engine will last. I have the same engine sold with HPI stickers on it in several of my RCs, and I haven't had to replace the engine internals in any of my engines in 5 years.
Awesome vid Jake - lots of effort on your part. I've just inherited a 10yo Nitro 4wd 2.5cc truck kit, all parts present (except for motor and RC control) and completely unbuilt. Until I saw your vid, I was content just to enjoy the build and put it on the shelf. Now I think I'll just have to make it and my son and I can terrorise the local bush tracks, parks,, pavements, shopping centres, retirement homes etc. as any responsible father would do with his boy. Love your work and hope you're keeping safe in the UK mate. Cheers and thanks from Aussie Land - Dave
Awesome Video Jay! Cool to see Nitro getting some love! I Still run my Savage 4.6. Its Music, to Hear a Nitro Engine Sing! Brushless Power and Ease of use, has put nitro out of commission. But it’s still fun from time to time!
Just got myself a zorro which is identical but with a Z instead of a T lol but ive not taken it for a run yet, just installed some road tyres and a tuned pipe but now the pipe touches the fuel tank so gotta re-locate or wrap the pipe. Truck looks better than expected.
Great video jake I just built a fresh channel still have the old one am I seeing you at bashfest this year again last was great got a whole load of new cars will be reviewing once I settle just moved house👍💪
i got one about 3months ago. Paid £220 thats with everything to get it started. Im using the built in kill switch never took mine for a big bashing time yet.
Very surprised the electronics held up in that deep puddle. Very impressive little car never seen any little 10th scale nitros go through water like the torro👍🏻💨
I've been ripping the heck out of my Nitro Carnage all year. Great truck and the parts are cheap as feck. Most of them are interchangeable between the torro and carnage except the center dogbones which are slightly longer in the Torro. Great video . . Looks great to drive, The carnage doesn't come with sway bars either as stock but the Torro does. Subbed
oh guys just a quick tip for you all: its kinda hard to notice but the body of this truck is sitting on an angle because the internal frame of the body hits the exhaust and its even worse with the plastic exhaust deflector so i recommend you guys turn the exhaust so it faces practically downward and change the silver exhaust holder thing with a bent spoke that hold the exhaust so it faces downwards
Thanks for the tip Andre, just got mine today and noticed the body leaning to the left straight away, so I came back to read your post again , Ive ordered the alloy exhaust for it , so when it arrives Ill change the exhaust position then, Thanks again.
How does that failsafe work if the receiver battery dies or gets disconnected? The servo would have no power to close. I prefer mechanical failsafe like a hairband
Just came from motorsports.co.uk because they don't have any video of this RC on their site. I'm glad, I found this video and I think this will be my first Nitro RC. Although, on the website, it's called FTX Zorro.
Loved the video mate that truck looks like great fun , I'm new to this RC stuff so all the videos are a great help , just bought an Arrma senton BLX but because of work , grandkids and weather in Scotland I've not had a chance to use it yet 😭
Hi CJ, what battery are youn using for the reciever box please, there is quite limited space in the box and Im not very impressed with the BNC connector four AA battery pack they provide. your guidance is apreciated by a newbie to Glow engine cars (have been building r/c yachts for years). thanks in advance. Im also inclined to change the switch with a charge lead in situ to charge the RX battery instead of keep opening the box , the screw under the brake lever is a bit difficult to get at. Nigel,
I just got my yesterday, from same place as yours. I went for the orange one. Only downside its been raining non stop and I don't want to get wet lol. Where did you get the micro failsafe from?
Make sure you upgrade the bottom plate because its plastic and breaks after 5 mins there is a metal upgrade on wheelspin models ive broken plenty of the bottom plate more than it costs for metal one and check grubscrews in front and rear driveshafts and exhaust screws as they all come loose after few runs or put loctite on them when you buy not everything has it on
i have also had the ftx carnge nt, just ordered the torro as ima big fan of ftx, only issue is the battery box is very cramped and there is very little space, do you know any tips to make everything fit better?
I have a quick question I have the exact same spec truck & im jjst about to break mine in but after that How long can I take mine out for without risking over heating or any other costly damage as this looked like a eventual couple hours of fun
Hi. Did anybody have any issues with the truck not idling ? When I start to reduce the Throttle trim is just cut’s out. I’ve ran 3/4 tanks of fuel from new. Any help would be Great.
Mine has just come today but it won’t work I had it working then it took of and crashed but then after that it’s not working I need some help Pleace can you recommend something to help me pleace
No. im running with the built in one. It works quite well but as for the batteries when they get low. it just lets them die so if they die while its at full speed it will continue because there will be no power to stop it.
The FTX Torros. This is the cheapest branded Nitro fuel powered trophy truck I could find on the market. It's bloody brilliant! - Jake
Great vid bud I can hear that cold on ya Yh bashfest let us no if ur there 👍💪
Jake I am doing my mcsa, you got any job for me mate?
Not great on durability tho
Hi Jake, absolutely amazing video for all the ftx torro lovers out there, just a quick question, this model comes with a built in fail safe, why would you add another one?
Thanks buddy Keep up the great work 👌
@@joeemanuel6813 ftx tough
looks like a fun little truck
Hi kev!
RandomVideos Channel lmao was gonna say the same thing.... well ig still am going to 😂 HI KEV:)
😅😅I'm Itlaian
Italian
Bit late, but you should review one kev!
Also it's cool you actually took the time to break it in!

I have the same engine sold with HPI stickers on it in several of my RCs, and I haven't had to replace the engine internals in any of my engines in 5 years.
It's strange to me because the lifespan of your engine is entirely dependent on running the break in period properly
@@gutzu265 my engines have all been running 10 plus years and i only put a tank through them before tuning

Dont forget the top decks of multi-storey car parks which are frequently closed to the public.
Just got myself one of these, your video is very helpful and splendid old bean. Thanks.

I really enjoyed your video - easy going, informative and fun to watch :)
i got one about 3months ago. Paid £220 thats with everything to get it started. Im using the built in kill switch never took mine for a big bashing time yet.
That is a badass rig!! FTX is sold as VRX and IMEX also..VRX is the oem
I have the electric version of this truck..Got it for $86 shipped with coupon code from Protinkertoys.com
I've got the same one. Fantastic little weapon.
Very surprised the electronics held up in that deep puddle. Very impressive little car never seen any little 10th scale nitros go through water like the torro👍🏻💨
Brilliant 😁😁 I got a bullet nitro 3.0 now I want 1 of these too 😁
Great video never seen someone bashing nitro in muddy water lol great
Thanks for doing this video, l have now got one of these on order and look forward to my first Nitro.
How's it now?
I need to get one of these. It looks like great fun

guys ive just bought one, but what glowplugs do I need? B4 R4 im confused!
Great video dude. I love the nitro cars. Like to see that you have one
I have one i got it at xmas from the other half and it was really good until the receiver packed in it looked a bit corroded
enjoyed the video, good one! I might have to get a Torro body for my 6x6x4 Bugsta...
How does that failsafe work if the receiver battery dies or gets disconnected? The servo would have no power to close. I prefer mechanical failsafe like a hairband
Nice to see a nitro truck.
Have the torro also Jake fantastic nitro buggy 👍
What sort of top speed would you say bud
Awesome review. Perfect!
Brilliant review jake.

For some reason FTX changed its name from Torro to Zorro 😂🤷♂️
Loved the video mate that truck looks like great fun , I'm new to this RC stuff so all the videos are a great help , just bought an Arrma senton BLX but because of work , grandkids and weather in Scotland I've not had a chance to use it yet 😭

Nigel,
Nice vid love the sound! Looked pretty fast!
Looks like an awesome truck mate 👍 great stuff
What spare parts to you reccomend buying mate? That looks awesome for the money
It's the same as the carnage just different wheels and shell but not bad looks nice though 👍👍👍
Awesome video 👍🏻
This or traxxas nitro slash for my 1st RC what do you guys recommend ?
Bet your neighbours love you 😂👍🏻
Hey jake have you done a speed run on it? I’m guessing mine will do about 35mph on a lean tune
It’s an awesome short corse. Had a traxxas. Was good . Same style.. wanted losi.. to expensive
I just got my yesterday, from same place as yours. I went for the orange one. Only downside its been raining non stop and I don't want to get wet lol.
Where did you get the micro failsafe from?
Love this bro
Great vid jake I just got a slash 4x4 and rpm arms any other upgrades do you think I need to make it stronger ? Thanks
How big is the fuel tank and how long does it last on a full tank
75cc fuel tank.
Make sure you upgrade the bottom plate because its plastic and breaks after 5 mins there is a metal upgrade on wheelspin models ive broken plenty of the bottom plate more than it costs for metal one and check grubscrews in front and rear driveshafts and exhaust screws as they all come loose after few runs or put loctite on them when you buy not everything has it on
Hi would you be able to tell me if this is what you said to replace, cheers, FTX Vantage + Torro Aluminium Front Plate
@@jaygee7406 yes it is
Was this all in the same day of running it in ? And how many tanks did you fill before bashing
great video
I've just orderd it off modelsport
Do you know if the Carnage is waterproof too? It doesnt seem to say on the websites.
i have also had the ftx carnge nt, just ordered the torro as ima big fan of ftx, only issue is the battery box is very cramped and there is very little space, do you know any tips to make everything fit better?
Sounds pretty damn good to be a cheapo. Good RPMs
Hi Jake, just wondering what battery you used with the glow clip charger?
I have a quick question I have the exact same spec truck & im jjst about to break mine in but after that How long can I take mine out for without risking over heating or any other costly damage as this looked like a eventual couple hours of fun
After you broke it in did you ever touch the LSN or HSN
What's high and low needle settings from factory guys, my boys have messed about with it, now plug burns out 😩, help! cheers
luckily it's not crazy loud from what I see from this vid
Love ur vids
Nice tight he knows it tight 😆😆😆😆😆 but no preheat wow 😂
Can u get it fully built without any set up apart from fuel or not?
How do you clean up the car after a messy drive like that?
I brought mine from tdj model Dartford
Will that body fit on the carnage ?
Hey would you say its a good buy would be my first nitro and i live near open fields and gravel ?:)
How long does it last until it needs to be refilled ?
Why turn off the engine when you play?i have the same car with same problem.
Hi. Did anybody have any issues with the truck not idling ? When I start to reduce the Throttle trim is just cut’s out. I’ve ran 3/4 tanks of fuel from new. Any help would be Great.
Hi Jake...is this a 2 speed system
Sick af
Jake what type glow Igniter are you using?
Mine has just come today but it won’t work I had it working then it took of and crashed but then after that it’s not working I need some help Pleace can you recommend something to help me pleace

I wanna get a carnage nitro it's good for first time with a nitro?
Did you have a good Christmas Jake.
Yes thank you Owen 😀
Would like to see a electric version
How long did it take for delivery
Do you really need the fail safe?
No. im running with the built in one. It works quite well but as for the batteries when they get low. it just lets them die so if they die while its at full speed it will continue because there will be no power to stop it.
will the fusion glowplug fit
Damn I might need to make a new hobby lol, If I sell some of my motorbikes maybe xD
Top speed?
8:47 lmao
can you run this on sand?
Dude you do realise there is a failsafe built into the receiver already right?
my cat hates my nitros aswell
