Well. for starters: IT IS NOT MASSIVE. And NOT HUGE. There's plethora of much much bigger RC cars and they are called Large Scale :-) Not even massive. To earn "massive" adjective you gotta build something yourself. Something bigger than 1:5 large scale I guess. Very good vid. Product not so much.
AuthenTech - Ben Schmanke Hello! I bought a 1/12 scale rock crawler that you have previously reviewed before. I actually bought that RC car thinking it would be a great car for a start. Yet after about 2 weeks of driving it, l had the same problem that you had with this buggy. Whenever l try and press the throttle completely, it screams as if it were going fast but it barely even rolls. I was hoping maybe you can find me tutorials on how to fix this problem with this RC car. Great vids by the way!
ELECTRO ZAP the review is biased. If you were sent free lipo batteries wouldn't you? Also, he talked about the problems as if they were just minor setbacks.
Always, always, always, always! Disassemble you kits and apply thread lock to screw that go into metal. Yes, it may take a while but it's well worth it. Just like you encountered, I have received some loose screws around the motor mounts here and there. Personally, I do the wheels first and those are usually 1st to go flying off lol.
Yeah I had the same issues. But have come to expect things like lack of loctite on metal to metal screws and poor setup out of the box from RTR's these days. Just a quick hint. If you have the time remove the gearbox completely and put some grease on the idler gear and drive gear to diff crown gear. Quiets down the gears. Also the diff could use some shims on the outdrive bearings to tighten it up.
your video was great but some good advice when u charge the lipo's, charge them in a lipo safe bag and when you store them keep them on 1/3 or if u own a smart lipo charger with an interface there might be a lipo store mode and if you are storing them you should still put them in a lipo safe bag (I know u might already know this but it's just peace of mind)
As it goes for the bearings find out the size and contact skf bearings like I did for mine before I drove it because I seen you're vid i locktited the motor mount no issue and and no bearing failure
Thanks for a great review that was fair and most importantly honest! I have seen other reviews on this same rig that were glowing, problem free and left me wondering how accurate the review had been. You gave an informed upload and were not swayed by the fact BangGood provided the car. So a good car, but, price, parts, design, construction, and maintenance were all issues. Hey maybe version 2 may address the issues from your honest appraisal?
Thank you so much! It's not always easy being honest and transparent (how many youtubers really are??), but to me, there's no no other option. That's why I named the channel Authentech :) Being authentic is top priority!
This is the best video I've been able to find about this beast mate, thank you! I'm still pretty new to rc cars, but I reckon I've outgrown the HSP I've been learning on.. I see this thing is a couple of years old now, how does it compare to newer models? Is there anything this kinda size for around the same price that you would recommend instead of this now?
Hey this was a great review, you gave some great advice about the product and excellent pros and cons and even included footage of them and that helps a lot for viewers in my opinion if they want to purchase this rc buggy. You got another sub and like from me.
Hello. So it is a reliable car ? I would like to buy this for asphalt - sand terrain uses, but i don't want broken things after a couple of runs (no crashes intended of course). It is overpriced imho, but i can't find any good 1:8 2WD out there.....they are all 4WD basically, but i find much more amusing driving an 2WD. Suggestions ?
Thanks. Judging from comments all over the web,Raider seems like very fragile with cheap plastic parts and not a durable. Raider it's 4WD. I think the best option for me it is to find an used HPI Savage and modify to 2WD.
Chrono™ the range on such cars are 100-200 m i have one and i drove it 140 m away and i still had controll and if youre wondering how i could see it my friend followed me with a drone fpv
WOW! After reading some of the posts below ?? if this is a new company, there will be some glitches, Now if the company stands behind the model if used the proper way instead of say jumping off a 20ft whatever and landing on concrete or similar, Then that would be a thumbs up, If the company did the right thing and made the model with the same mounting and other things, then that would a thumbs up,
Whatever warble filter you have on the vocal is unlistenable. I don't know if it's just a stereo delay that's supposed to be a doubling effect or what, but it's really off putting for me. Also, the 'S' at the end of chassis is silent.
4500mah is not huge, I have twin 10000 4s, they are quite large but I have seen what a huge battery is, a 6s 15000 is a bit bigger that a paver brick. thats huge.
the wheel bearing got destroyed because of the sand they dont ship lipo batterys often because they are dangerous to ship and you need to get a new spur gear and pinion gear
Unfortunately the weight is not mentioned ... there are those who say weighs 12.5kg (I think it is exaggerated considering that the cen colossus xt 1:5 weighs on 7kg / x-maxx 8kg ) i think i go on 6kg in line with the xb trailblazer Could not you weigh the medium yourself? Thank you
Proper crap this ftx I did purchase one and since just problems mising bering not shredded strate from the box right rear plus first drive and spare wheel came off just wheelie I totally agree wyth your opinion
What do you guys think of this massive 1/6th scale Off-roading RC Buggy?!
Current pricing: bit.ly/2mqRWfx
AuthenTech - Ben Schmanke masive and awesome . Like the video great quality
AuthenTech - Ben Schmanke nice vid I have ordered mine already
AuthenTech - Ben Schmanke This is the car from the race

Great video. I love mine. It goes really well. I managed 95kmh on 6s
Dang, that's fast! :)
You seriously deserve a lot more views. Great vid quality, unbiased review, and even tips and links! Great video
+Enrico Uy - thank you so much!
ELECTRO ZAP the review is biased. If you were sent free lipo batteries wouldn't you? Also, he talked about the problems as if they were just minor setbacks.
They don't include the batteries because manufacturers are not aloud to ship Lipo batteries
Spin yeah, NO BATTERIES ACROSS SEAS

You deserve more subscribers. Your videos are the best and very helpful. By far your video on the five plane is awesome! Keep it up man!
Thanks man! Slow and steady :)
If your gonna get into 1/5th scale RC the Hpi Baja 5B is the best way to go.
Great durability, power and lots of noise! (if u like that kinda thing)
Yeah I had the same issues. But have come to expect things like lack of loctite on metal to metal screws and poor setup out of the box from RTR's these days. Just a quick hint.

+Ken Trapnell - thanks for the tips! I actually added a little grease when I was in there, helped a bit. Great idea on the shims too
Sounds like the best thing Bang Good sells. It is seriously not a bad looking buy. Just have a decent set of tools on hand.
love this rc😍😍😍

Hi Ben. please don't charge your LiPos in the truck, use a fireproof charging bag. TH-cam LiPo fires.
Very very good review.Thanks!
I want to get this buggy,this video really helps with overall buggy view.
+RC4EVER - Glad it helped, thanks!
love the new angle and setup looks clean.
Thanks for noticing!
Really helpful video, thanks a lot!

I love the new set behind you! Do you have one of those subscription counters?
+Tech Wizard - Thanks and yup!
The quality of ur vids is amazing 👌
Thanks for watching and the nice comment :)

You definitely deserve more subscribers and views!!
Your content is amazing!!!!
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words!
love it. wish I had one
do you use loktite on your screws? that might solve your problem...
+The builders and breakers - I feel they should add this in manufacturing, but they don't. It's a good idea to add later
pretty good but it dont go 104mph like on my channel.
Some play in the rear suspension?
i like the car body though!
It should have a button option for 4 wheel and 2 wheel so if you want you can do the spin outs
Nice very nice
Thanks for the honest review Ben :)
Nice vid! Most RC cars comes without batteries. Liked and subbed
Nice video dude.
hey ben remember me i said you to make rc car videos and you did made video about them
Thanks for taking my comment seriously
YOU ARE COOL!!
that is awsome dude😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I have a feeling that you like rc cars
Hello. So it is a reliable car ? I would like to buy this for asphalt - sand terrain uses, but i don't want broken things after a couple of runs (no crashes intended of course). It is overpriced imho, but i can't find any good 1:8 2WD out there.....they are all 4WD basically, but i find much more amusing driving an 2WD. Suggestions ?
1StIwY1 try a arrma raider xl blx or a arrma kraton
Thanks. Judging from comments all over the web,Raider seems like very fragile with cheap plastic parts and not a durable. Raider it's 4WD. I think the best option for me it is to find an used HPI Savage and modify to 2WD.
so entertaining and informational to watch! subsribed and liked!
Whats the range like? Could you strap an FPV setup to it and rip it around a huge public park?
Chrono™ the range on such cars are 100-200 m i have one and i drove it 140 m away and i still had controll and if youre wondering how i could see it my friend followed me with a drone fpv
when is the qna video coming out
i like ur vides man plz make more
Working on it ;) thanks
:)
dammmmm that car is lit bro
Free to take away in all hobby shops
Whats the difference between this and the rage rzx?
I want all your rc car
Is this worth the money?
Dude it's a 1/6 scale it requires high maintenance duh
Nice dude. The channel growing petty well. Keep the fun vids coming.
+JohnyTechReview - thanks man! Keeps growing each day ;)
Im in the market for an electric 1/6 or 1/8 truck or car any suggestions? Budget is around 500/ 750
New background? Nice!
Yup!
Can you pls review wltoys 12428.?
What are those cool led lights you have on top ot your desk on front if the mic? any links?
Video on those coming soon ;)
Lipo's are not the safest things while charging. Definitely do not charge in the car and put somewhere that is more fire proof!
That would pretty cool if they can make a switch to make it 4 wheeled and 2 wheel front and back
6 good for me
Can this 4000+ batteries go on Bison?
In uk you can get the batterys and charger
WOW! After reading some of the posts below ?? if this is a new company, there will be some glitches, Now if the company stands behind the model if used the proper way instead of say jumping off a 20ft whatever and landing on concrete or similar, Then that would be a thumbs up, If the company did the right thing and made the model with the same mounting and other things, then that would a thumbs up,
Everybody loves a nice toy. LoL.
+Shawna C. - Makes me feel like a kid again :)
Do you have any links to 3s bats for this?

Speed gun 😁😁😁well that doesn't look like a Speed gun
What I don’t like is how the rear wheels camber that is positive camber
try this Wltoys A929 1/8 120A Brushless 4WD 2.4GHz 80KM/H Desert Rc Truck Random Color
Any one have a recommendation for a fast and stable rock crawler that isn't too expensive?
Nice
Hi
the wheel bearing got destroyed because of the sand they dont ship lipo batterys often because they are dangerous to ship and you need to get a new spur gear and pinion gear
Hobbywing esc nice
It has 2 chassis
Some of these Chinese websites with these manufacturers are not allowed to ship batteries over seas.
Looks like it's been discontinued on Bangood. Looks very similar to the Rage RZX though.
Whenever you get that grinding noise its that your gears are broken or barely touching. This always happens to me.
Hi, could i know how much the weighs machine without lipo? Thanksss
I believe the specs are on the product page: bit.ly/2mqRWfx
Unfortunately the weight
is not mentioned ... there are those who say weighs 12.5kg (I think it
is exaggerated considering that the cen colossus xt 1:5 weighs on 7kg / x-maxx 8kg ) i think i
go on 6kg in line with the xb trailblazer
Could not you weigh the medium yourself? Thank you
you know that you must tighten all screws afer 5 houers of driving ? :D
Thanks for the tip :)
Use thread locker too, is a very usefull tip.
I have never done that in 6 years of driving RC cars and I've never had any problems.
Is this same as FTX Futura?
Exactly, and same as Amewi Hammerhead.
Can I buy it's wheels and put it on a 1/10 scale???
Luong Duc Huy ...
Not to mention you would need adapters for the 17mm hub
Do a review on a Nintendo switch.
I live in Trinidad but were can I get one to buy
Make A video of chetha rc car and price of it......
do a review yi 4k plus
+Chhay Sam-ol Dara - For sure will do
Hi, what size of rear tires?
154mm.
Better off getting a Vkar bison
What type of Traxxas is that?:
Marty Lynchian not a traxxas
This better be a joke
guess when you buy any rc its a good idea to go over it and make sure everythinbgs tight
makes me wish i was a gnome
Its still $450... You can get traxxas for that and aftermarket parts for bashing isnt a killer price or hard to get
You can get a 1/10 scale Traxxas plastic wonderland or a 1/6 scale with a hobbywing system.
My losi 5t with electric conversion goes 70mph
"Speed gun."
Proper crap this ftx I did purchase one and since just problems mising bering not shredded strate from the box right rear plus first drive and spare wheel came off just wheelie I totally agree wyth your opinion
Oh you are very lucky cause you got orange but I only got yellow
It looks really powerful but i didn't like that it has only rear wheel drive
+Aksels Nemme - it'd be super powerful if it was 4wd :)
i like you
