I love the idea of this vehicle, but for $700, those issues are definitely issues that should never exist. On top of that, it’s so dang top heavy, it always wants to land on its back.
These trucks drive very scale, They are not really designed to bash or do stuff such as in this video. However they can perform and really well too. They are nose heavy being a solid rear axles, and no different to a Traxxas UDR or Losi Baja Ray. The rear anti roll bar was annoying as it kept coming off but that's now sorted. I've not yet had the front diff out for inspection but it may not be the diff causing the noise. As I found the front anti roll bar came loose and was catching. In my opinion I think its a fantastic truck and very fun. Its not no Mojave 6s but a different experience for sure.
MERRY CHRISTMAS BRO🎅 Hope you and your family have a fantastic day! This is an epic track! Unfortunately, it's about an hours drive each way for me. 🙄 Have a fantastic x mas and new year.
@@thercstore. thank you brother!! it would be best to load the car up with a couple of cars and a few packs and have a good day out bashing and ripping and get a couple of videos at the same time, its a awesome looking track and definitely worth the drive
@@thercstore. thats it and if you had a group i'm sure you all would have some much fun!! i'm in nottingham and i'm going to look for a track like that around me, i just got a hobao sse truggy and put a max8 in it and i'm loving it amo!! amazing truggy for the price and drives so nice and i know it would be so good on a track like that so fingers crossed i find one asap
@Marts112 amazing! There was a track near the old IKEA many moons ago. I'm not sure if it's still there. It was an outdoor track specifically for RCs. The sse sounds like a lot of fun!
@BIGALSCRAWLERS The reason it keeps coming off is the ball that's bolted to the bar with a grub screws is twisting, which them makes the ball pop out of the plastic link arm. The solution is to make that ball stay in place on the bar without it rotating. I was thinking flatten one end of the bar where the grob screw presses against not allowing the ball and grub screws to twist on the bar. As the grub screws will be up against a flat surface rather than the curved bar.
@Flipside.rc8176 Thank you, bro. Yes, it may be something I need to carry out, I've ordered a spare set of links and an anti roll bar to try something with.
To solve your link end issue u need a different style ballend. U need one that has the hole going thru the ball center. Install them on the links ball first and the link end won't be able to come off anymore.
There seem to be a few options to fix this. I was thinking of flatting the anti roll bar one end to prevent the ball turning as the grub screw would be up against the flat side of the bar. A viewer mentioned this in the comments and its work for them.
@thercstore. Ok true. He could also just put a regular ball in the link and put a stopper with a setscrew on both side of it on the rod locking it from moving either way
To fix the anti-roll ball twisting you need to dremel a flat spot on the bar itself.. It must be probably just friction locked to the anti roll bar hence why it moves.
@rrrccc1571 No ftx haven't taken on any Yikong models as far as i am aware. However, Rochobby FMS have just taken this model on and rebranded it. Personally, I don't think the colourways are anywhere near as good as the YIKONG. Everything else is the same.
@faisalbaig5306 Thank you! We can supply the truck and parts, but we don't keep it in stock currently. We have sold a few to customers on pre-order requests. Parts support, we normally have spare parts within a week or so as it's not a mega popular truck. We just order parts as and when needed. With FMS / ROC HOBBY releasing there re branded version. Parts should be available from most stores.
@peterGriffin-ug7jv it may well be. These have been around for some time. The Yikong is more scale in terms of the colourways, etc. But yes, they are the same car. But parts will now be easier to obtain for loads of people who were worried. As most hobby shops stock or can get hold of FMS parts.
Solution is don’t crash 💥 😅 not really what truck is for so you want a give point instead of breaking . Going need new ends , I do want one of these , slash maxx kraton v6 so many good rcs 😮
@RcPlayer-tt2vw I did say it's not meant for bashing 🙄🤣🤣 But it does it so well. 😅 I do need to tear it down and inspect the diffs. But I do have spare ones on the shelf if it is the cause. I did notice the front anti roll bar came off it may have been that clanking. But i will know when I inspect it properly.
@RcPlayer-tt2vw it's definitely something. It sounds like the front diff. But the front anti roll bar came off and was loose clanking. Maybe that, i will need to inspect it correctly. I have the parts on the shelf, so it should be a simple fix.

Every car has their own issues regardless of how much they are.
the XRT looked so good on this track amo beast!! i need a spot like this, merry christmas bro bro hope you have a good day

@Marts112 💯% worth doing when you have a full spare day!
Or get a group together to have a blast! .

@@rhpatel1749 Thank you! Really appreciate the support!
😮 wow brother 😊
Its a freaking beast 😊
Merry Christmas my friend
God bless you and your family 🎉
Merry Christmas to you and your family! It was an epic run. Perfect on this track.
Drill a small hole on the ball links and put a body clip through or wire and twist at the ends
Stick a bolt and nut that will hold them bars in no problem
@@BIGALSEXTREMERCS cheers bro!
@thercstore. that's wst I would do and it will never come off again

@thercstore. u could do that if u have a little file or something should b easy enough to do
Nice looking rig that, it looks like them links can be easy modded if needed no worries,👌
@Flipside.rc8176 Thank you, bro.

@@modzilla74
Your 100% correct you could also do that!
small ziptie inbetween the link and the ball end the ziptie locking head will be to big for the link to pass over your welcome

@skirmich ahhh that's a fantastic tip! Thank you. I really appreciate that!
Nuneaton pump track ? Wicked bash spot I'll be there after new years
@@gazmurphy9770 epic track! I'll be back up there soon.
Looks pretty good! Is this the brand that will likely appear under FTX in the near future? Would make it easier for buying and dealing with spares

TB7 plz not TB07……ur confusing it with James Bond :)😂
Awesome video mate! I love my TB7! Do u guys sell this in the UK with parts support ?

Stand over the far left corner and launch it off the bunker my revo 2.0 loved it
