FTX are so underrated for what you actually get. Pound for pound this brand is great for those who dont want to spend over 500 or even 800 just for the rc . Parts are very fairly priced .
It’s pretty stable. if you really gun it and your on the right surface it will back flip. It’s stable for what it is , the tyres and chassis length make it less stable than the rokotan. Cheers for watching
@@andyrobinsonrc2480 I think FTX and Reely bought the rights to these chassis..Helion had the rights but they went out of business..Im pretty sure the OEM is Fs racing though
Ha ha I think I’ll stick to racing RCs bashing is totally different , I found the Ramraid quite twitchy at times but still very good value for the money and the fun factor
I hope this helps a little: The C rating for a LiPo battery, quite simply, refers to the capacity of energy the battery can safely discharge, represented as a multiple of its overall capacity. A battery that has a higher C rating delivers more energy, and that means higher performance.
@Andy Robinson RC So in theory I could put a 100 C 3s and it wouldn't damage it. This is my first rc so it's all a bit confusing. Read up on it hundreds of times but still confusing what is is the best battery to get the most out of your system and how to do the maths based on the system. Could anyone work out the best bastter rating for the Ramraider as an example. So I can see how you got to that conclusion .
Yes apologies Paul if you check my FTX Rokatan video out I did a full on unboxing and you’ll see how it’s boxed in, it’s the same as the Ramraider , it’s all well wedged I’m. Cheers Paul
Hi Peter , yes that’s what I thought , very good for the money absolutely everything included apart from the transmitter batteries , it’s pretty quick as well. Thanks
Cheers Richard :) it’s a cool truck and it’s a cool track to throw an rc about , wouldn’t like to throw anything to vintage around there ;) cheers mate
Hello there cheers for your comment personally I’d go for the rammraider out if the two cars , better design better electrics and specification , also will do about 37mph out of the box . Both will be fun though
It’s capable of more than what I did with it, I didn’t want to trash it , I still prefer the Rokatan more but it was certainly cool to throw about and it’s well worth the money
Cheers Mark , I don’t usually find it hard to get FTX spares you can get stuff through CML Distribution if you can’t find a model shop for spares. Plus the Ramraider shares a lot of parts it’s the rokotan. If there is a shortage hopefully that will improve. Cheers for watching fella :)
Need to check the quantum flux out , I’m aware of them though, cheers for the suggestion and watching the video. Are the Flux’s 99% RTR like the FTX? Cheers
@Andy Robinson RC no problem... yea they're 99% rtr, and I've seen the xt for as little as 180 quid! (Plus battery and charger). Here's my mini review of it... I flippin love this little truck lol! Oh, and I've subbed you 👍 ua-cam.com/video/wLemf3mJrCo/v-deo.html
Does the ram raider go berserk when you turn the radio unit of first turned my radio of went nut’s smashed the full front end after half an hour of getting it is this a problem with this car
Well you should always switch the car off first before the handset and that’s standard with any RC vehicle , I wouldn’t have though it would have gone nuts but you could experience glitching or juddering. Like I mentioned always turn the car etc off first
I would imagine there a similar size there both meant to be 1/10 scale from pictures maybe the MT is a fraction bigger I don’t think there’s much in it
Cheers mate, this one's definitely made the list (the very, very long list), it's jumped the que due to the price though.... It might even be my next RC.! I'm curious about the diffs though... It's always the diffs that are the biggest weak point on the 10th scale FTXs... I've lost count of the times I've replaced them. (I've got quite a few FTXs). The Ram Raider's a different platform & it's been out for years in Germany under the Reely brand so I'm hoping that's a good thing..!

Hi Alan I think the diffs have got a lot better I remember having FTX’s first crawlers and I blew a few diffs on them. They have seem to have gotten loads better , the ravine I had was bullet proof. I had the rokotan before the ramraider , same chassis but longer and that was awesome . E joy and take care

Looks pretty stable and plenty of power.

Pretty cool..Its the FS Racing Victory X or the Helion Invictus
Yes I think in Europe and elsewhere they are sold under those other brands you mentioned , we just mainly have ftx in the UK
@@andyrobinsonrc2480 I think FTX and Reely bought the rights to these chassis..Helion had the rights but they went out of business..Im pretty sure the OEM is Fs racing though
FS racing makes everything for Helion and now team associated @@philthyco1
Looks fun Andy! I have a Stampede and its certainly different to driving tamiya's!
Ha ha I think I’ll stick to racing RCs bashing is totally different , I found the Ramraid quite twitchy at times but still very good value for the money and the fun factor
Cool basher. Thanks for showing Andy.
Cheers for watching and my pleasure it’s not a bad little truck is it :)
Can't really argue with the value for money on Ftx models that's for sure
Definitely Rich, good products pretty tough and good value for the money , the RC’s on the whole keep getting better :)
Ftx stuff is great, I just love my brushed Zorro and my Vantage 2.0 - awesome buggies imo
I really enjoy FTX I’ve had a fair few of them now for myself and for review
Got one coming tomorrow. Got it for myself for my birthday 🎂 Would a 50C battery make it faster

Does look good 💯
Cheers , it is cool, but since purchasing the Armma Gorgan I’d fit that personally. And you can j
Looks like a very good basher for the price, FTX parts are really cheap too if you break anything. Excellent stuff!!
Ftx make some cracking stuff and with it being fully rtr value for money it’s awesome. Like you say parts a pretty cheap to fix them as well :)
Great video Andy just wish we could see how it comes fully boxed up, do the unboxing then film the running etc Great stuff as always tho 👍 👍
Yes apologies Paul if you check my FTX Rokatan video out I did a full on unboxing and you’ll see how it’s boxed in, it’s the same as the Ramraider , it’s all well wedged I’m. Cheers Paul
@@andyrobinsonrc2480 thanks Andy, I remember now but I'll go and watch it again 😀
Good for the money Andy.. 👍🤩 great review..
Hi Peter , yes that’s what I thought , very good for the money absolutely everything included apart from the transmitter batteries , it’s pretty quick as well. Thanks
awesome rc and run,great review
Thank you kindly for watching and checking this one out :)
@@andyrobinsonrc2480 👍😊✌️
Cracking larl buggy, i need to have a blast around ther track with my cougar 😁 i’ll race you haha 😎
Cheers Richard :) it’s a cool truck and it’s a cool track to throw an rc about , wouldn’t like to throw anything to vintage around there ;) cheers mate
@@andyrobinsonrc2480 i’ll happly throw my cougar around 😁 gives me an excusse to buy more bits if it breaks 😂
Great video! Can I hear your views in this vs the FTX Carnage brushless, please? 🔥
Hello there cheers for your comment personally I’d go for the rammraider out if the two cars , better design better electrics and specification , also will do about 37mph out of the box . Both will be fun though
Seems like a pretty good basher Andy🙂👍
It’s capable of more than what I did with it, I didn’t want to trash it , I still prefer the Rokatan more but it was certainly cool to throw about and it’s well worth the money
Was considering one of these but there's a real lack of spare parts for it like arms etc.
Cheers Mark , I don’t usually find it hard to get FTX spares you can get stuff through CML Distribution if you can’t find a model shop for spares. Plus the Ramraider shares a lot of parts it’s the rokotan. If there is a shortage hopefully that will improve. Cheers for watching fella :)
Looks ace!
Buuut it's more expensive than the maverick quantum flux series, and also slower...

Looks like a good basher
Cheers , it should take a good bit of punishment , nothing like an Xmax like, but more than a Tamiya ;) cheers for watching

Where is that BMX track Andy? I’ve been looking for a track I can park nearby and have a bash on. Most of my local ones are a fair trek from parking.
Hello Lee , the bmx track in my video is just opposite the large Tesco Extra near m55 turn off in Blackpool it’s on Clifton road. Hope that helps ;)
Are they the same size with the Rival MT10?
I would imagine there a similar size there both meant to be 1/10 scale from pictures maybe the MT is a fraction bigger I don’t think there’s much in it
How fast is it
Does 37mph out the box with no gearing changes
Nice video, thanks
Cheers David thank you for checking it out ;)
The screws on this truck are truly horrific
I’ve personally not had to many problems with them. Ftx are built to a budget though , I still think value for money they produce sone great cars
Cheers mate, this one's definitely made the list (the very, very long list), it's jumped the que due to the price though.... It might even be my next RC.!
