"We'll just pretend it made it up there", so people buy this piece of trash! Anything can be made to look good, stop trying to sell your viewers rubbish.
Not sure if you're aware, but stating "let's pretend it did this" in footage is making it obvious it didn't do it? Did you get a rough night's sleep or something?
I love that Phil pinned this comment! In my opinion, he's one of the most honest reviewers on UA-cam, and lots of us enjoy that he's not just reviewing the expensive "big name brands". He'll call cars and trucks rubbish if they are rubbish unlike other youtubers who praise everything on their channels just for the BangGood clicks and money. Last year, I picked up a cheapo MN-86ks because of one of his videos, and found that with a bit of work and upgrades, it's nearly as capable as my trusty SCX-10, and it looks amazing on the trails. There's RC for everyone, and this truck might not be for you... So don't buy it.
This comment is a very good example to show that it doesn't matter what you say or what you do... someone will always find the negative lol. My humour is to much for some people haha
People talk bad about the cheaper stuff but it is how u care for it and what you do with it. My favorite has been a 60 dollar 1/12 truck that was a great basher
Another enjoyable video. I was glued to the screen all the way through. I find it most intriguing to see how an Rc vehicle's body sits when negotiating the toughest of terrains. Like you, I was convinced it would tumble on that steep bendy decent, BUT it didn't! It does, of course, depend on the driver. The first crawler I bought was the Kanyon; practising a lot with this tremendous fun. I, too, have an FTX Jimny and a Traxxas Bronco that haven't been driven yet. Tomley, your reviews for me are like the "What Car" publication of the nineties. I'm sure many of your UK viewers will remember this magazine. We all have our opinions; just keep it polite - as Basil Fawlty would say, "Manners cost nothing, dear"!
Honestly, it's only a little bit more than I spent on the ZP1001, and has a unique body (Landrovers everywhere...ugghhhh) and a known brand. While I really like my ZP1001, these FTX Crawlers seem quite a bit better, with more upgrades. After putting an ISDT ESC70, servo and replacing the 540 motor with a 550, I'd say I spent more on the ZP1001 than this FTX costs. Now that I know more about this hobby (thanks to you and that other guy that's a bit crazier, like a Tall roBot) I know more and am grateful.
Nice. 390s are great options for smaller trucks, batteries last ages, and you are not constantly breaking things. I have one in my Smax and it is brilliant.
These are impressive Phil RGT’s had them out since before Christmas! Love the last song and so did my sock puppets! 😝😂Great crawling Phil! Amazing truck!
Wouldn't mind trying that crawling looks alot fun! Pretty shocked at the negativity in some these comm against Tomleys channel! I started watching it a couple month ago tell you what give me kinda review over that ADHD Kev guy oh what nut buster he is lol! Can sit n watch Tomley all night done with the other ott reviews after 3 vids!
I like it.great little trucks.i bought a fury a couple of months ago and Im really impressed with it.ftx can definitely make good crawlers.great vid Phil👍
Awesome ride there, Tomley! Really fantastic spot for a crawler! 😃 About the motor, it may not be big and so on, but even those smaller 180 motors many WPLs use are impressively strong! They could break lots of parts. Believe me, I did it. 😬 Most motors used for rc are like that! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I got into RC cars last year, and Outback 2 was my first car. After a couple of drives I realized that the stock car was actually quite rubbish; it would constantly flip over and the servo broke down. Since then I've upgraded the weight distribution, servo, electronics, changed rims to aluminum ones etc, and now the car is actually not that bad. What I definitely learned from Outback 2 is the joy of modifying the car and trying to make it better yourself. The modified Outback 2 actually starts to resemble stock Treka 3 / Outback 3 more and more.
This thing is awesome, been awaiting this video. Did spot myself in the background a few times... Whats your plans for this ?? Love that body colour, can't believe how capable it is for a 390
Great video and great truck Phil. Looks like a a Land rover at the front and a Bronco at the rear. With some chunky tyres will perform well. I was looking for a crawler might give FTX a look. Need to finish my Bronco CC-02 first.
Quite a number of my team members use the RGT Jimny, which i believe is very similar to the FTX counterpart. Your video is interesting i probably would get this RGT bronco soon. Thanks for the trail run. Yes it is capable 👍.
Nice one Phil , perfect value for money to get people into the hobby ! Looks like a great turnout at bedds , was there an event on or did the sunshine bring everybody out of the woodwork ?
Looks great. Was really tempted by the Paso as a spare 1/10 crawler/trail truck. Now I've seen the Treka 3 it's going to be harder to resist. I wonder if they'll update the Tundra body too?
After going through 3 gearboxes in our Paso, I've put a 540 in it. No idea how people have run these on more than a light trail without braking it! 🤣 Apart from that it's been great, I do like the Outback chassis 👌
@@Nordlicht05 not sure really, haven't seen many have issues gearbox wise really. It's the same as all the other Outbacks I believe, replacement gears are cheap though! No metal option unfortunately...
Shame you've gone through so many! I gave the Paso quite a bit of abuse in the quarry against the SCX6.... and this Treka broke a driveshaft, which would indicate the gearbox held up okay. But as you have said, cheap enough to fix... unlike some of the more expensive rigs. Metal option would be good though!
@@TomleyRC If there was a metal option I'd be back to 390s in both our Outbacks! More than enough power and silly amounts of run time. All of the stripped gears have been the center gear, it's odd as I don't see many other problems with them!
Looks like such a capable truck for the price. Whereabouts was the course you were at? I don't have anything like that near me. Looks a lot of fun to do the hobby with other people.
Is RGT the same as FTX? I have an exact replica of what you called an Outback 3. Mine is called an RGT Off-road Rock Cruiser RC-4 , but they look like a Suzuki Jimny.
I've been looking at this crawler and the mn86ks. Which would you think would be best to buy. I have 5 crawlers already including wpl c14 a d99s brushless and some 1/10's
My first crawler was the ftx outback 3 paso, it was very capable and was going 98% the places my mates scx10 trail honcho was going. I sold mine the other night to get a trx4, but I'm unsure as I've seen the ftx fury 2.0 is coming out and I love it, but it's not out until 26th September 😭
If it's as good as the outback 2 it will be a good little crawler/trail truck it just needs better tires maybe the outback 2 wheels and tires how it the body kept on the chassis ?
@@Eddiee757 I haven't tried it I only got the outback 2 for 2 reasons 1 as I was just getting in crawlers and didn't want to spend mega bucks just incase I didn't like it (stupid of me thinking that with my RC collection) so I opted for the outback 2 and 2 it was just over £120 brand new so not to much to lose if I didn't like it as a first time crawler I was very impressed
@@Eddiee757 cool I love the outback 2 I just got the gmade Komodo gs02f built it up but haven't tried it yet I'm stuck on what colour to pain it so it will just sit there until I can decide probably 100 years from now still won't be painted lol
Mr. Tomley. Name is Richard. Do you know anywhere that sells brass weights, widener parts, other upgrading parts for the RGT 136100V3-FD, in Europe or the States where I live in Muskegon, Michigan. I have looked without success in locating upgrade parts that I would like to have. Thank you. Enjoy your videos tremendously.
I really like that white pointy finger stick more than I actually should. Where can I get one? I have an FTX Outback Texan and I can say that FTX vehicles are pretty good vehicles if you're on a lower end budget. I am honestly not a fan of the FTX brand though and will only recommend them if you are on a lower end budget.
Phil is there any chance you could put a picture up of it beside the Geo on Instagram or Facebook, for size comparison. I was hoping the Treka3 would be a nice small, in scale 2 door truck but in some other pictures it looks the same size as the Geo? Thank you

Me and my lad a cracking day there. He took an ftx tracer and scx24 and a khamba. Great course and can't wait to go back.
It's nice to see the little Outback series getting better and better. Plus, they look great!

Wow that wood is all wet too . You got skills besides the truck being so good Brother.
does look a nice truck and we all know FTX are getting better with each model
bit of a looker that truck. nice driving 👍🏼
These are impressive Phil RGT’s had them out since before Christmas! Love the last song and so did my sock puppets! 😝😂Great crawling Phil! Amazing truck!
My old man got one of these just to pick up something cheap so he could drive his with me. It's a pretty capable little truck. Looks great, too.
HI PHIL IM VERY IMPRESSED IT LOOKS GREAT AND PREFORMED PERFECT.
THANKS FOR POSTING OH AND I LOVED THE COOL ENDING 👍🏼🇬🇧
Charlie now wants one! Thanks Phil!
Decent Crawler! I like these FTX cars! 🏆🤗

I had the 1st version and really enjoyed it, I broke the steering servo within weeks but after replacing it was fine for 6 months then I sold it.
I like it.great little trucks.i bought a fury a couple of months ago and Im really impressed with it.ftx can definitely make good crawlers.great vid Phil👍
I keep looking at the ftx brand, for a very similar price I'd highly recommend the FS Racing Jeep, got one for my boy and it's preforms really well.

I bought an FTX Ravine a while ago and it's unbelievably good for the price.
Neat little crawler. Vary capable.
I have a outback 2 treka and I'm waiting for this body to come out, looks amazing!
Really nice crawler ftx are really improving there crawlers!👍
Great looking truck Phil m8 can't please um all by the looks haha

Great Vid. The sound effect of the little pointy finger cracks me up 👍🏼
Hahaha yess.
I've just bought ftx speed boat and it's awesome fun😀 i also have ftx outback hi rock which is brilliant 😀👍👍
This thing is awesome, been awaiting this video.
Did spot myself in the background a few times...
Whats your plans for this ??
Love that body colour, can't believe how capable it is for a 390
Great little truck that Tomley.
Just picked up a second Outback Mini yesterday. Cracking little trucks.
The full sized ones do look enticing 🤔
great vid thinking ofr buying one i loove your vides. whit is a good hard core basher in your opionon

O yeah. Lov the new stuff. Thank for sharing 👌👌
will it fit a 540 can if you wanted to upgrade?
Not with that standard gearbox
Hi mate
Great video looks fantastic. Is that meet in Lincolnshire if so whereabouts is it

Haha sir I love your pointer haha 😂
Is there a room on there for a servo saver? They work pretty well.
Couldn’t be happier with the outro lmao
Soon as someone gets WPL to make a C24 with a 2speed and MN90 tires standard 😉
🎺👉 Always a good laugh!! Thank you for your great review I’m purchasing one of these for sure!
I have the RGT 136100V3 (outback). Broke the thing first drive just at the beach. It’s a 1/10th scale with 1/24th scale parts. Just doesn’t work.
Thanks for the warning. I'm looking for a 1/10 short wheelbase trailer/crawler chassis for a 3D printed body and had a maybe on this rig.
Looks like the RGT Cruiser V3. Guaranteed to come from the same factory. But nice little "Bronco".
Rgt is basically the same just based in America I believe
Would it be easy to make it brushless?
Aka ruin it
@@Eddiee757 probably the gearbox but I not sure about the diffs since they are metal
After going through 3 gearboxes in our Paso, I've put a 540 in it. No idea how people have run these on more than a light trail without braking it! 🤣 Apart from that it's been great, I do like the Outback chassis 👌
Oh weak point ?! Otherwise seams a good offer but not if you need to replace essential things in a short time

Whereabouts was the course you were at? I don't have anything like that near me. Looks a lot of fun to do the hobby with other people.
Also if you use a good charger you’ll get nearly an hours run time from the standard battery
Would you recommend for a beginner?
where can I find that song ? =)
Im late to the party, but nice 👍🏾🔥
So where does one buy replacement parts ?
Where do you get parts for this brand
Is RGT the same as FTX? I have an exact replica of what you called an Outback 3. Mine is called an RGT Off-road Rock Cruiser RC-4 , but they look like a Suzuki Jimny.
Yes, they are the same. FTX is the UK brand
I've been looking at this crawler and the mn86ks. Which would you think would be best to buy. I have 5 crawlers already including wpl c14 a d99s brushless and some 1/10's
I friggin love it! Available in the States???
I think the same thing will be available under the RGT brand over the pond . Not sure on model name tho !
I think the equivalent of FTX Outback is called ECX Barrage in the States?
Love my paso! In fact I love all the ftx I have but the chargers are utterly useless 😂
Saya suka ketika mobil akan turun dari tangga. Kamu sangat sabar dan handal dalam mengemudikan nya tom
Was wondering why on earth you never played the song. Then finally at the end. Was a bit worried there for a bit. :p
My first crawler was the ftx outback 3 paso, it was very capable and was going 98% the places my mates scx10 trail honcho was going. I sold mine the other night to get a trx4, but I'm unsure as I've seen the ftx fury 2.0 is coming out and I love it, but it's not out until 26th September 😭

Nice looks like the RGT rock cruiser V3 😅
Does rgt also have this body?
Rgt are the best choice price vs performance

good review as usual. it looks better than the famous zp1001. And what about the zg1801a ?
Phil is there any chance you could put a picture up of it beside the Geo on Instagram or Facebook, for size comparison. I was hoping the Treka3 would be a nice small, in scale 2 door truck but in some other pictures it looks the same size as the Geo? Thank you
If you watch my Outback 3 Paso unboxing, I put that next to the GEO. This Treka is the same wheelbase as the Paso 👍
what battery can fit in it??..2s or 3s?
My c24 powered by a 180 shredded both driveshafts
Is that the same as the RGT?
Yes
Was the body shell lexan
Yes Lexan, not a hard body
Are the wheels and tires 1.9 with a 12mm hex?
They are a 12mm hex. The Paso has 1.9s so I'd imagine these will be too 👍

Hey Tomley just realized i watched certainly most of your videos and i'm not even sub...there you go mate sorry about that!
So you say most crawlers can be a good crawler "if you just find the right line"? I been spending my money wrong all these years.🤔😭
Yup, most the time it’s the user not the tool
