Can we just take a moment to appreciate what happened @ 09:32? That was some cool throttle control, Phil : )
I’d say I’m not taking credit for that and it was luck… but I think sometimes my muscle memory takes over 😅
@@TomleyRCthats a good one 👍im waiting for my untapped skills to kick in
Wow that pinion sounded tight ouch🤪!
like watching it sink every time you put it down, seems a decent truck 👍👍
Yeah, that smooth action gets me too!
Yes, I love a good soft suspension 😇
Been watching this channel for a long time, and the Allen bit makes me happy every time. Please never stop
$330 maybe im cheap, but i wouldn't call it cheap😂 pretty tuff though.
For a 1/10 3s brushless truggy it's pretty alright I'd say. Not cheap but a good deal
Every rc for him is cheap. He doesn't even know whats cheap is.
@@HD-jj6rv hilarious!
@@RcSteve46 $70 cheaper than a traxxas 4x4 vxl 3s. Thats not much
Compared to Traxxas everything is cheap 🤣
I like the added support around the body pins. Small feature, but smart!
It goes alright. Agree with the worry about that servo though.
Yeah, cheap fix I’d have thought
@@TomleyRC You are right man but, i shouldn't fix a brand new rtr car :(
Holy nose wheelie!!❤ that was crazy 💯⛽️
Been looking for another basher these seem very good value for money so have just purchased one from L&L Models. 👍👍
Nice to see them (them being the FTX/FS Racing etc. conglomerate) iterating on that old Helion platform. I have an Apache, rokatan and Ramraider and enjoy driving them all. This looks to have some very interesting upgrades over those trucks, the centre bar in particular.
My take on it is this platform is kind of the predecessor to the Rival MT10
@@Luke-en2tk yeah, when you put them side by side they have a very similar layout.
Holy crap that was great aim at the giant tree! Great video!
Love the ftx brand (rgt for the foreigners) gives people a great quality, more affordable excellent rig to get started with in RC or even us oldies wanting to save some money but get a quality RC 👍
This is an FS Racing, not a RGT. They contract RGT for crawlers though.
Awesome truggy, Phil! 😃
Great bashing and review as always!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks mate 👌
It may look like a Sludge ha ha, it is in fact as FS Racing Sniper.
Yes it is… the Sniper is linked in the description also 🫡
Where did that tree came from😂😂😂. Love this thing, my Apache after a few minor upgrades is one of my favourites. This is definitely on my wishlist. 👍
Not long discovered your channel, but you have cost me a fortune already 😂 ordered one, also a better steering servo,more batteries....!
Hes a good lad that Alan and gas been seriously missed!
Got myself an Apatch and yes the servo is rubbish, replaced it and its a beast now. Bought a second for spares, still cheaper than most other brands for a similar spec.
Vegas Paul here 😎👍 that is what I talking about 😅 sounds great love the park.
That is one ruff tuff truggy!!!!!!!!!!! 😎👍
Can't believe I had to add "truggy" to Firefox dictionary! What is this world coming to?
I just want to say that you are the coolest reviewer Phil and this rc looks really good and tough
9:33 Nice save Phill 👌
Got a feeling the 2.0 will not have solid A arms and the ride hight will come up a bit. Love the look on this truggy though, it’s like a poor man’s sledge. Overall looks like fun though
The solid arms are new to this platform, they look to have plastic inserts in them so if you want more flex if they are breaking I guess these can be removed
Was that Traxxas sledge you...coughed then😱😂💥🤣👍
Hi! New to the RC world. Haven’t got a single RC yet. Still learning and studying about it. Great channel by the way! Would it be possible to make a video on RC accessories such as batteries, the types, connectors, chargers, etc. I know you don’t normally reply to questions. Appreciate it!
FTX always make reasonably solid rc vehicles. This looks like a great entry basher. Definitely needs at least a 20+kg servo.
I would say a true 15kg would be ok. When I used to race nitro Truggies 15kg was about the max available at the time and had no issues with them the problem is companies kg don't always match the real kg
I would disagree, they make poor to average quality vehicles, my FTX carnage was junk, each time I fixed it, I found multiple other broken parts and stripped screw threads.
@@Luke-en2tktrue!, this is why i stick to agfrc servo’s now, bit more expensive but they are bang on.
@@klappars it's a really old platform still a great budget truck on 2s for the average user, definitely not a hardcore basher though
Never owned an Outlaw i think? There like glass
Awesome Video Phil always great to watch with these. Be available in Canada Cheers bud
Cheers dude. FTX have looked at hitting then US/Canada market, but I think costs are really high with no distributor out there
@@TomleyRC oh ya over 400 I'll just keep living threw u. Lol keepem coming bud.
Looks pretty good other than the steering servo .
Agree 👍
Bump your pinion will help on throttle response when jumping.
Agree. Servo needs to have more torque and speed from the vid.
Would love to see how it does with a better servo and a 1512 castle with an mmx6s at 2650 kv on 3s to 4s.
Just bought one! Front arm broke day one…. You are correct!
wow, cool new truck and nice driving, doesn't get any better than that, Thanks 😎
Great little truggy jumped well and did good overall
Your channel is awesome never a dull moment. I just got back in reviews.
Keep up the awesome content.
Hopefully in 2 weeks i will drop few.
Those tires are a direct copy of the Duratrax 6 pack Mt (my personal favorite 1/10 offroad tire). Unfortunately those tires are getting very hard to find. Maybe now that they come on an FTX we can get them again
FS Racing Sniper Truggy
Ya as soom as i saw it i looked it up its same platform fs has been useing forever 😂but now its way more $$ cheep bl come on man
Great video. Nice variety of shots/angles. Really enjoyed that one.
Been a while since we’ve seen Alan😂
saw this on modelsport and wondered how soon it would be till i saw it on the channel 👍
😇
Me and my mate go too that bmx track with his arrma typhon and my hpi savage nitro and it’s mega fun I broke my exhaust a couple of weekends ago while doing that first jump 😂😂😂
New subscriber 💪🏼 .. old school (55) RC ripper .. love the new stuff and always up for a tweak 👍.. superb channel 👊🏻
Wow. Great kids rig.
Yes, perfect for kids
Ftx ❤❤❤
Looks great you run good like the jump's 😅
That has got to be the toughest Entry FTX ever.
Great place for jumps.
As you said it's a great truck. You only had a few crashes, ha ha. Not many reviewers can run it head on into a tree. Great review and test.
Love to know what motor and servo you would drop in it. Love the look of this thing, just wondering if you could compare this and the maverick flux2 XT. Very similar looking truggys
Yes would be good to see a comparison
Im having the same one but its from t2m racing and its callend the pirate basher been working great
You sounded almost disappointed when the spoiler wasn’t broke 😃
Big thumbs up for durability. What could you get at this price from the company who shall not be named 😄
Like I say to my teenage daughter, £20 is alot of money if you don't have it... 🤣. Joking aside it looks like an awesome truggy and is a very decent price compared to others in it's class especially when it comes almost fully RTR. If only the Americans realised how much we have to pay for an Arrma!!!!
1:07 That"s a nasty cough Phil, sounds like traxxasitis! 😷 Looks like you've just unboxed the antidote tho 👍💯👏
😅
Bert drops the truck from 2ft, Kev drops the truck 20ft! 😂
Yes, 1 of us understands physics & limitations and the other not so much 😅
When I do the ALLEN ALLEN ALLEN lol my dog goes absolutely nuts! another FTX. You can stretch your money buying these Asian brands. Rlaarlo is the one I think is going to give the big boys a run for the money eventually.
Detachable heatsink :D
Haha
11:51 Tree! LOL!
I think the Apache has been updated with the same Hobbywing 60amp ESC as this, not sure on the Ramraider. Need to confirm with CML though
(Update Ramraider and Apache have been updated)
Hopefully they’ll soon update the Servo as well
A L L E N ! ! 🐿️ 😂😂😂
Love you vids mate
The arms on my ram raider broke first run
Cheers mate 😎
nice video 👌 i think there decent for the cash to be honest, very beginner friendly!
Your one of my fav channels love your reviews mate you should def do a giveaway id love tk win something off your channel maybe
Not sure if your manual says it but this car and receiver has a gyro. I didn’t know this and hated the steering. Once you turn that off and the steering end point on the receiver, the steering is much better.
How?
Great video Phil. Is it kinda like the Redcat Machete?
This is definitely a FS-Racing vehicle. Their 1:10s are mediocre at best, but the 1:8 cars like Tank, Atom etc. are pretty good.
Big Talbot moment with the tree XD
I ❤🌲's
Nice truck 🚛
Nice driving m8.
I'm thinking the gear mesh will loosen up after a few runs, after all it is new.
What would be a good servo upgrade? Would you stick to ftx?
Just ordered one of these what connector does the battery use
You can take parts from one and put it on the other
Cheap u say looks decent for the money 3s rtr bit slow but settings and motor swap would sort it😂
Room for a bigger pinion?? I’d like to get that thing FLYIN down the street! I’d love a follow up video of this 1:1 gear ratio maybe with belted tires, maybe 17mm 1/7 scale tires….🤔
Just to point out Phil, when you compared this to the older model, I believe that was the Ram Raider, and the Apache you mentioned was on the lower shelf😅
Anyway, nice stuff from you as always!😎
I think those are both Zorro’s below? (open cockpit, Apache just has sticker for windows)
@@MisterBee79The blue on is Zorro, orange is Apache. Based on his earlier videos :) Brushed Zorro got converted to brushless in one video.
@@MisterBee79 Oh yes, I was wrong! Thy are Zorro's as you said :) He did have a orange Apache though, which is not shown here.. I thought he said 'I saw my Apache..' but now watching this again I think he says 'I sold my Apache..'
ALLEN is back
class vid as usuall..can i ask what you set the pre loads om.the shockers at..just got mine..bottoms out on its own weight.. lol
Not bad but i think the Redcat Valkyrie is king of the budget basher market. If you can get them at least. $299 U.S. and 4s capable. I do wish it had threaded aluminum shocks like this tho.
Took the heavy crashed well haha
Looks great shame not a 1/8
You never do reviews of WL toys anymore. We need more of those
Crossbow is an industrial weed killer , funny lol
It's also a cider.
@@Shadow_WraithAnd , a useful squirrel dispatcher 😮😂😂
Nice car for beginners
Small hex head countersunk screws an upgrade ? When run on wet and dirt areas the best would be slot head screws. You can clean the dirt out of the slot with the screwdriver easily. Not good with crossheads and even worse with small hex's.
Keep up the great reviews though. 👍
Just no 🤪
Super review... What servo upgrade would you recommend... Looking to get this for my son's birthday (teen) and I would like to consider an upgrade. thanks
Looks great, but very slow compared to say the arrma typhon 3s which isn't much more.
i bought FSR sniper witch seems to be identical only its red, had one cartwheel type crash and bent both rear axles, wonder if they use a different quality metal
I've had my eye on these since I saw FS Racing released their version of it a few months ago.
Theirs is called the "Sniper".
I thought FTX would likely release it seing as it's on the same chassis as the Apache, Ram Raider & Rokatan.
I certainly like the look of it, it would benefit from a 3660 motor, bigger ESC & servo upgrade though.! 😉
Thanks for another great video Phil.!
Stay safe out there mate & the very best wishes from Scotland 🏴 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️ 👍 👍 👍
I think they were trying to keep it under the £300 RRP/SSP. I do agree that even a 9 or 15kg servo should have been the minimum even if it put the price up from £289.99 up to £299.99 RRP/SSP.
Maybe we will see an update down the line as the platform has already seen quite a few updates to it which I think is really good to see instead of having to wait for a newer version
The motor/esc from the Brushless Zorro and the Servo from the Stinger. Job done 👌
Should I get this or the Omni Terminator?
Cheap enough for tomley to buy every person who comments a new 1 of these ....😊
Wearing hand me down Brothers & overgrown wheels , to quote an expert .
😅
Seems like Arrma Vorteks would be the one to compare this to.
Should I get this or a Pirates 3?
Cool.
Very European 🤣 years back I came upon a rc collection and it had a few FTX in it. I remember they were kinda expensive to get parts for here in the states. So if I remember correctly I sold them for parts 🤷🏻♂️
It reminds me of mountain dew color
How this guy survived is like me, surviving been run over by a truck... miracle!
I want one but it sucks we can get them in the US at all will they ever start shipping to the US again
If I did not have my Arrma Senton 3S I would probably buy one of these just because of how well it crashes into tree's! Lol I might not be the best driver!
I'd buy it if it didn't come with all the electrics. I really don't need another transmitter. 😄
Hi buddy, I would like to ask, will you do part 2 for Biggest vintage RC car? That petrol beast what you bought and make video 8 months ago. Thank you
Ok. So pulled the pin and one is on the way. Noted i need to swap the servo, but for what, easily confused . Been out of this world for 30 years. Just another mid life crisis.
Same looking for a better servo for the same car
Got an i9mod servo 35kg. Totally transforms the drive.
Hey phil I know this is a new video (which is great, all your videos are 😊💙) but I had a question about the ROG1, I’m still new to the RC hobby but that drive shaft you broke, is that the Dog bone/shaft in between the slipper clutch?? I had just ordered one of the ROG1s because I figured if that’s the main issue couldn’t I just use/ replace it with a steel or titanium dog bone/ drive shaft from another slipper clutch? I’m a bit confused on terms of the part because of the names being similar for stuff.
