It looks quite fun for what it is and who it's intended audience is. It actually looks like it might handle the skatepark. It looks really light and seems to be well balanced.
Just had this brought for me for Christmas. New to RC cars. Only used it once since weather isn’t great. But can’t wait. Was recommended by for beginners .
Complete beginner here, but when you say you "give it a go on 3s" are you just replacing the battery with a 3s one, or did you do anything else to the car?
Hi there, totally new to this hobby getting into it because my daughter loves RC cars and wants to go to the next level of car. We often go over the park and skate park however her current one just doesn’t have the power, she has asked Santa for a new one for Christmas that can be used on a skatepark for some jumps and on the half pipe. I was recommended this car as the go to for skate park work for a new comer into the hobby by a hobby shop. I noticed you said it’s not good for skatepark I’m just trying to find some clarification I just need all the help I can get as I would love to get my little lady something special that will encourage her to further enjoy the hobby
@@connormathieson7914 7 years. Don’t get me wrong, there’s been a few bumps and minor repairs but that’s down to bad driving. I don’t go bashing it but I do zoom it round the local skate park and my kids have a go too. They love it. If it’s your first rc car you can’t go wrong and parts/upgrades are cheap imo
Sweet mate I’ve just ordered it for my daughters birthday she’s four and wants an rc car probably bit over kill, but it’s really a toy for mee and her 🙈
I have a brushed vantage, which needs some work now I've been looking at maybe swapping it out for a carnage and using the vantage as a spares car. It was great for me as an entry into RC and I wanted something that wasn't too expensive as I wanted the kids to have a go too. We have lots of fun with ours and it seemed to take quite a beating. I'm tempted to maybe pick one of these up....
The problem was with the motor mount not the car there is a hole or 2 holes that leds directly into the gearbox housing you can block the holes with a bit of hot glue or maybe some tape should help 👍
@freddiet8639 I don't have one no more but there on the motor mount it's self block holes with hot glue or tape hot glue will be better as you can yous it directly in the holes in the mount 👍
Looks similar chassis to the ftx vantage it gets gravel and stones in the gears and chews them up quickly a right pain! So sold it! Now considering an arrma typhon 3s instead
Hey! Love the channel! As a new comer to RC I'm 99% certain this is my first car. Just wondering how you switched it from 2 to 3S and if you think it can stay in 3S! Cheers!!
Just taking this to the beach for something to muck about with during the day there, qould this be okay? Not looking to do it as a hobby, just dont want to be bored at the beach...and of course no sea water, sand only 😊
This chassis looks very similar to the laegendary thunder 1/10 brushless I had one and got rid of it because it was constantly breaking from light bashing
Does have a nicer body than the original. Has a bit more style. Not a fan about the lights tho. Overall great vid as always. Keep up the great work Phil. 👍🏼🚗
Finally a 1/10 truck. It seems smaller scale cars/trucks are more popular on the other side of the pond. Im in America where 1/10 and larger are more popular. Why is that?
Having the slipper clutch set correctly on these FTX's is ESSENTIAL to protect the differentials. The diffs are a bit of a weak spot, but as long as you have a little bit of slip in the clutch they'll last alright. I can't tell you how many of those diffs I went through before I finally learned that lesson.! 😉 😉 😂 😂 Another great vid Phil.! 👍 👍 👍 Stay safe out there mate & best wishes from Scotland 🏴 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️
Yeah, I didn't like that Phil chickened out just because it's not "marketed as an extreme basher". Who cares? We want to see it bashed to the extreme! :))
UK biggest reviewer should review RadioMaster MT12 radio. It seams that only drone reviewers review this radio but not a single one from RC car world. I understand that RC car enthusiast live separate world and are not aware of EdgeTX operating system and ELRS radio protocol and binding procedure. But you should give a chance and learn this system as it has unlimited capabilities. We drone pilots that occasionally drive RC car will be switching to this radio. ELRS gives superb range.
Have to admit it seem pretty good. But how about the insane Arrma MOJAVE 4S BLX Brushless 1/8 4WD RTR Electric Desert Truck (White/Red) w/Spektrum SLT3 2.4GHz Radio Yes it's 1/8 and yes it's in the £500 region, but . . . Trouble it these days, prices aren't stopping their ascent towards the stratosphere, so how long can we wait before buying one?
This is another excellent review. L think it should be called the FTX Smooth as you described it. Of course no one would buy it with that name. Carnage seems to imply a basher. It looks good and really jumped well.
i really want my friend to get a monster truck but he says that all of them are too expensive. Should I tell him to get this one? It looks to be really good for only 200 bucks.
Best foam i have found for body posts is NERF gun bullets sliced into discs. Works really well, and compresses loads.
Why did I never think of that? You sir, are an absolute legend, thank you
I concur you’re a legend
"urrm actually they are called darts"🤓
That's a good idea as they all ready have hole in them good thinking
Ear plug foam works great too
I love my V1 Carnage. Brushed, upgraded to a cheap brushless system, and it rocks. 🤘🏻
It looks quite fun for what it is and who it's intended audience is. It actually looks like it might handle the skatepark. It looks really light and seems to be well balanced.
20ft vertically onto its roof seems to be the limit 😂
Happily the parts are cheap as chips.
Just had this brought for me for Christmas. New to RC cars. Only used it once since weather isn’t great. But can’t wait. Was recommended by for beginners .
Pretty good little truck that. More than I expected having not heard of it before. You get so much more as a beginner these days.
Complete beginner here, but when you say you "give it a go on 3s" are you just replacing the battery with a 3s one, or did you do anything else to the car?
Just change the battery with a 3s or 11.1v lipo, won't need to change anything as they come just watch your motor and ESC temperatures
Nice to hear the battery advice. People he is spot on. Great information. The front bumper apart from LED's is there any structural changes to it?
FTX seems to have great RCs for the price. Too bad they do not seem common outside of the UK. They have nice nitros to 👍
Putting in that 3s made my day. Thank you for sharing good sir

The FTX carnage was my first ever RC car and I still have it with no issues. I did upgrade the servo but that’s it. Well worth the money
How long you had it for buddy

My FTX Bugsta got me back into the hobby last year and it is such good value for what you get.
Y'all have the best play areas I've ever seen I think.

Basically the same thing really both cars have parts you can interchange
After watching you have made me want to get into the RC world and I've asked for one of these for Christmas ⛄ cheers Phil
Straight out of box and work and handle so well good good car 👍
Love the "SMoove" jups. The suspension looks pretty plush
Double sided tape & a protection net, no issues with grit/ dirt then 👍😉
The problem was with the motor mount not the car there is a hole or 2 holes that leds directly into the gearbox housing you can block the holes with a bit of hot glue or maybe some tape should help 👍
My vantage had that issue gravel got in and chewed the spur gear useless! I sold it
@@butchmeister80 same happened to me pal I blocked the holes with hot glue
Can you point out these holes?
@freddiet8639 I don't have one no more but there on the motor mount it's self block holes with hot glue or tape hot glue will be better as you can yous it directly in the holes in the mount 👍
What part of the UK are you getting this beautiful weather?..... London rain rain rain 🌧️ waiting for a clean bashing drive😢
Yes Phil. ( With the fresh trim)
Will damage anything if I’m going to use this rc car with 3s battery’s? Amazing review ❤
Great video, just got mine today. Left hand rear wheel really does buckle in and out when rotating. Is this normal on these?
Looks similar chassis to the ftx vantage it gets gravel and stones in the gears and chews them up quickly a right pain! So sold it! Now considering an arrma typhon 3s instead
Trash
I had to laugh at stone in the fan Phil. This one time, me and the Mr's went on holiday to Filey, well..........
Iiking the color . Did it come with tiny cheap screwdriver and Rodent keys . ?
Hey! Love the channel! As a new comer to RC I'm 99% certain this is my first car. Just wondering how you switched it from 2 to 3S and if you think it can stay in 3S!
Cheers!!
You should be able to just buy the 3s battery for it and plug it in
6:53 nice recovery there phil McQueen.....;-)
Love the updates on this, and that body is sweet
Just taking this to the beach for something to muck about with during the day there, qould this be okay? Not looking to do it as a hobby, just dont want to be bored at the beach...and of course no sea water, sand only 😊
I'd say no to the beach , took mine on it for 10 mins and motor is toast along with bearings
That trombone noise with the pointy hand makes me laugh every bloody time 🤣
This chassis looks very similar to the laegendary thunder 1/10 brushless I had one and got rid of it because it was constantly breaking from light bashing
one word.. smooooooove. also, i had to pause and gaze at the teency patch of blue sky.
Manufacturers are stepping their game up with led lights these days. I like it!
That rebranded fly sky are good radios and receivers.
Does have a nicer body than the original. Has a bit more style. Not a fan about the lights tho. Overall great vid as always. Keep up the great work Phil. 👍🏼🚗
Calibrate the esc trigger end points and turn that punch up for sure
Cheap and nippy, thats what Rc is all about if you are into fun
I had the brushed one sold it as it was slow , do you recommend this or any other upto £200-250
I was gonna get this but are they too weak to do jumps with as I seen the turn buckles look super thin ???
Wish I could get one in the US.. I like that truck.
Are they planning to update the dessert racer dr8?
How does it compare in size to other 1/10 trucks?
Cool 😎 car ❤👏👍✌💯😎😇😍🥳
I take it this is a UK only model?
This things awsome!👍🏻😝🔥
Finally a 1/10 truck. It seems smaller scale cars/trucks are more popular on the other side of the pond. Im in America where 1/10 and larger are more popular. Why is that?
lack of space in most european cities and the idea in American brains that bigger is always better maybe
The monster is mind-blowing on 3s 😮🔥
How do u adjust the speed on the ftx I have a apache but wanna make it go faster is there a way to make it faster ???
Hi there looking for a good 3s battery what’s the one your using please
What a brilliant video tomley RC Playground fantastic can't wait for mine 😊😊😅😅
I heard "stoning the fan" and what a great band name.
Are parts avalible or only from china. I found the brushed version here in the US 😢😢😢
In the UK most of the model shops carry the parts for these.
Is it not available in the us?

My diff hasn't gone yet and i am on a 3s Arrma system in it
What is the correct setting in your view and how do they come out of the box?
And how do you set the slip?
@@MrFartismjust loosen off 1 full turn on slipper diff from full tight
You can get a program card for the esc change punch and all sertings
Carnage is a better name than Bert for a car.
"Introducing the new FTX Bert" 😆👍
Not bad, looks nice and gets airborne nicely on the jumps
hi Tomley. that soft throttle I had the same thing with a cheap brushless esc off ebay, can you program them to be more responsive? thanks
I still want to see it in the skate park!!!
Yeah, I didn't like that Phil chickened out just because it's not "marketed as an extreme basher". Who cares? We want to see it bashed to the extreme! :))
Good control and fast!
Cool lookin truck!
I like that shark picture too
You could have landed on that front bumper a few more times mate 😂
The throttle and other things are easily changed with the Etronix programming card :)
I wanna buy this them jumps look sick

✌️Greetings from Guatemala ✌️
Can't seem to find this truck in the U.S. Can you tell me where l can purchase one of these?

Good ol' Ftx 😊
Integy used to sell the barebones version called i10mt for like $100 bux
What's the motor size? 3650?
Is the esc waterproof?
Not really my cup o' tea, but it moves pretty good off road! I probably would have called it something like.. dang naming cars is hard. 😆
Should have bashed it a bit harder. It does jump really well, would have loved to see some skate park action!
Nice video and RC car!
Is this whole truck waterproof?
Cool car!
Hi I have a LRP S10 BLAST MT RTR i wont to make it go 50mph whats a good motor and ESC that i can run 3s thats brushless
is it going to break
But, you didn't say what the temps, were like on 3s 🤷♂️🤷♂️😉👍
Look is quite goid but a bit on the slow side
Love it man
Wish they put the zorro centre diff in this.
Now ya talking 🎉😊
Amazing price
Nice looking rc.
Saludos Mr Tomley ya viene Papa Noel
how do you adjust the gearing
But you forgot to say stop. read. ... 😂 Always a great video‼️👍👍🦾🦾🤘🤘
What app is that your using on your phone please 🙏
Is these 3s from box
It's my birthday. Today and I got it !
You should try and do a review on the new wpl c74 soon
Hope you change that brushless motor.. and upgrade that steering servo.. I'd like to see it again after you make those changes..
The undertaker would be a better name
Got this for my birthday. Doesn't look that durable to me but hey, I got it for €110 ;)
i really want my friend to get a monster truck but he says that all of them are too expensive. Should I tell him to get this one? It looks to be really good for only 200 bucks.
Needs a wheely bar on 3s
