Thankyou so much for all your advise and videos , i am new to the hobby as a 58 year old man going through another mid life crisis , thanks to you i now own 3 FTX cars , An Apache, Zorro brushless and a Rockatan , i love them all and have transformed a bodyshell on this to look like the mad max car , you are my go to for honest reviews. Well done for all you do.
It's such a beautiful RC. Certainly super fast and if they can under cut the price of an Arrma street car and be as tough as an Arrma street car, they may have a real contender there. Awesome. I'd love to see a heads up race between it and a felony and an infraction.
This larger scale hitting 100 kph, that's the speed limit on our major highways here in Ontario. Can you imagine cruising along on the highway and look down and see you're being paced by an r/c car? hahaha
Finally got mine delivered today. Ordered 21 & 22 tooth pinions, better servo and will be changing over to DumboRC. Only had blue in stock but it looks awesome.
Tomley another great video! . Just did a quick lookup with shipping to the United States its a little over a $1000 . With that said I have managed to add a few more cars to my collection because of your revues thank you. For the videos and knowledge you share . cheers!
I was worried there when it was only doing low speeds on the 14 tooth pinion. Seeing as people are getting 90MPH out of the Felony with the speed pinion. 80MPH on the 21 tooth though restored my faith.
HooWeee Phil. That is one fast SOB! What gear and battery combo do you think is best for this? What tires did you end up ordering for this? Great video and speed run my friend!
Great video Phil. That thing is a beast. Should've used the EX07 wheels. I would imagine they have a bit more traction than the silver hoons. Try using the Arrma speed pinions to see how powerful the motor is compared to the Arrma motor.
@@TomleyRC ahhh. I see. Square set up while other 1/7 are staggered. Out the box, I think this FTX is quite a bit faster than the EX07 if they ran on the same pinion.
A bit late to the party mate but that car is awesome. Saw it at our local shop and it looks awesome... Be nice to see a side by side of that and the infraction on the same gearing and tyres....
AliExpress has an extremely similar car if not exactly the same and I wonder if it is just a rebranded model called an FSR 1/7 Mustang GT Flat Sports Car that comes in Blue or Silver. It is $841.62AU plus $109.39AU for shipping making it $951.01AU in total is just a little bit cheaper than anywhere else I have seen for it and I would get one myself as all the specs are identical to the FTX model.
The silver hoons on this rig definitely seem more like drift tyres🤣 And needs a bit of DF work for speed😬130kph+ isn't bad at all just changing the pinion🤘 Awesome
Hello..I just purchased a Reely death watcher..the car is green from Amazon..are they the same car ? and if it's the same as FTX..Can I use one of my Felony pinion gear?? Thanks
Hey man, I’m looking at getting a budget kit build rc crawler. Preferably one that is just a chassis (no motor esc servos wheels etc) price range is about £215
Talking of speed. I messaged the guy who holds the worlds speed record. I said my modified 4s Typhon could go beyond that I think. He said in what way have you modified your little car. I replied that I put on a couple of electric jet fans. I also said last year on a certain RAF runway, I got to 178mph and that was on half throttle. If I went any faster, my tires would have gone. He said my combo of electric motor and jet fans is good but it would not qualify for the speed record. But it's still an RC car.
That’s a nice looking car. Can you tell me if FTX have resolved their spares issues for the things that don’t usually break. I have 2 ftx out of action as both blew their motors bearings but the rest of the motor is ok. At the time ftx did not stock this. Two 2 dead cars due to a small part. I should not have to buy a complete £100 motor in my option. When your out of warranty companies should stock evrything.
I want to get a chassis like that for my 62'corvette convertible 1/7th scale it maybe 1)6th but i measure it about 18-19 inches long sobim not sure but you have awesome videos and projects and vehicle and test runs great work bro
@@TomleyRC seems to be their pattern, they release with one or 2 colours, then 6-8 months later a clear body will come out A clear body painted in Vaughn Gittin Jr, team RTR , formula drift championship winning colours would be stunning
hi phil just watched this awesome video with one of the best cars i have seen in a long time and from FTX its one on my to buy list. but i have a question i saw in between runs you was using some form of power pack to charge the lipos while you was running what is this power pack and where can we get them from please??? great video as always phil. peter from birmingham
Hi great video and awesome car. I'm in the market for a new rc car, I'm torn between this and the arrma infraction. Most reviews say the infraction is better but it's also £200 more expensive over here in the uk, for that I could upgrade this car or buy more lipos or an extra body shell. Any advice? 👍🏻
Sir this is close to an infraction but it's mostly Plastic which is not good, more like the XO-1. For the price, I would get an infraction or one of the speed run cars. I know this would take over a month to get as well.
I was exited to watch the video and the car running but then I saw Siemens Energy in the background and now you are my favorite channel (I work for Siemens Mobility in the US and I’m really happy to see the company name in the back)
Hi, I’m a fellow RC guy. Been trying to get one of those FTX super Forza GT’s shipped to the states. Is there anyway you can help me, I have no contacts anywhere in the UK. I do not mind a surcharge for services. Thank you

We had loads of fun

@@TomleyRCMore fun when you two would fight though 😅
Great job Phil, that's an impressive rc. I've always found Ftx to be reliable. Thanks for sharing. John.
Thanks John
A ton of content packed in such a short video, impressive and thank you so much!
Thanks dude, appreciate it
Certainly stacking up to be a good on road car and one to take on the Infraction
It's such a beautiful RC. Certainly super fast and if they can under cut the price of an Arrma street car and be as tough as an Arrma street car, they may have a real contender there. Awesome. I'd love to see a heads up race between it and a felony and an infraction.
I’ll have to sort a race out at some point 👌
@@TomleyRC include the zd racing ex07 hoonigan in that also plz
Looks ace, was hoping for a little more on the 21t pinion but faster you go the more room/less curbs/more grip is needed
Infraction speed pinion is 27t and does 90mph… so this with a 21t was pretty quick!
Where do i get the 21t pinion from. And what's the highest you've used.
I'm currently using the 14t love it
Those speeds on 4S and 6S makes it a pretty good option for a street basher👍
Yes… it’s got some nice speed about it
That thing rips ! Good of you to show the kph to for us europeans.. thanks mate!!
This larger scale hitting 100 kph, that's the speed limit on our major highways here in Ontario. Can you imagine cruising along on the highway and look down and see you're being paced by an r/c car? hahaha
Haha.. yeah, that would be funny. The speed limit on this road is 40mph… so I doubled it 😂
@@TomleyRC haha even better? find a radar speed trap hahaha
Cops jumps out of the car...WHAT the HELL? zoom as it screams past him!
Great video held up pretty well and no dreaded esc cut may have to add this to my collection
I'm so glad I found this channel it's really good! I found it from Kevin Talbots video when you had that indoor carpet racing event lol
She's a beast, Phil! Fantastic bashing!!! 😃
She definitely rips!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you dude… it’s certainly a ripper
Finally got mine delivered today. Ordered 21 & 22 tooth pinions, better servo and will be changing over to DumboRC. Only had blue in stock but it looks awesome.
Noice 👌
@@TomleyRC Ordered a 4274 2500KV motor as well.
A link to purchase the pinions please
What are the battery connectors for the superforza are they XT60s or XT90s
Looks a really capable car tbh. I've er, binned both my Infraction and X0-1 at speed. Comes with the territory I guess. Always a fun vid.
Yeah, as soon as you make a small mistake… it can get crazy pretty fast haha
Beautiful RC. As always, great video.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for sharing Phil good car but I'm curious if you had the choice this or the infraction?
Still undecided.. the Infraction is a beast, but still a 100-200 more than this. So would come down to cost I guess
Tomley another great video! . Just did a quick lookup with shipping to the United States its a little over a $1000 . With that said I have managed to add a few more cars to my collection because of your revues thank you. For the videos and knowledge you share . cheers!
450 shipped currently for us in the u.s.
@@mkv6spdwhere?
Smashed it there Phil, FTX have done seriously great job with this car, for my money is one of the best new RC Cars of the last 12months👍
It’s impressed me so far
I was worried there when it was only doing low speeds on the 14 tooth pinion. Seeing as people are getting 90MPH out of the Felony with the speed pinion. 80MPH on the 21 tooth though restored my faith.
HooWeee Phil. That is one fast SOB! What gear and battery combo do you think is best for this? What tires did you end up ordering for this? Great video and speed run my friend!
I’ll be putting the stock ones back on when the arrive in the UK. And batteries were CNHL and then some Turnigy… both perform well
Great video Phil. That thing is a beast. Should've used the EX07 wheels. I would imagine they have a bit more traction than the silver hoons.
Try using the Arrma speed pinions to see how powerful the motor is compared to the Arrma motor.
The rears are taller though… so may have messed the Diff up. EX07 are all the same size
@@TomleyRC ahhh. I see. Square set up while other 1/7 are staggered. Out the box, I think this FTX is quite a bit faster than the EX07 if they ran on the same pinion.
That's freaking badass, I thought it was a felony.. Great looking body..
How do you maintain and take car of the engine and gears
Hi are the electrics basically the same as the DR8 set up
pretty crazy fast, better traction and down-force would sure help.
Yes… traction was certainly needed here!
I found myself grinding my teeth and twisting my phone trying to stop that end over end🤣. That’s a screamer.
After i got my hands on the FTX Outback Tracker they went way up in my estimations. This is next on my list.
Dude we love the way you talk , lol I even try to say things like you , which makes me laugh to myself...
Yeah, I subscribed! My new favorite channel!!! 😁👍🏼
Thanks dude 🙏
I ordered one. Can't wait for it to arrive.
What's the charging set-up you have in the boot? Is it just a charger plugged into inverter using the car battery as source?
A bit late to the party mate but that car is awesome. Saw it at our local shop and it looks awesome... Be nice to see a side by side of that and the infraction on the same gearing and tyres....
Best rc of 2023 🔥 stock no modifications. Perfect body for mustang enthusiasts. Hoon tire ready . Gt 500 widbody kit . Take my cash .
just picked up a Felony 6s because they don't ship these to the states, damn these on road cars are pretty fun!
Is it bad putting bigger gears and battery’s ?
Can you tell me abit about your battery charger that you had in the boot of the car? Any links to what it is or how it's powered? Cheers
It's a great looking body and the speed is impressive.
Yes, impressed me
GO TEAM TOMLEY 🇬🇧🤩✌🏼👍🏼
I would love this body fitted on my Vendetta! Think it would fit?
Does anyone know what is the best lipo battery to buy for the FTX banzai, & what adaptor do I need for the charger?
Very nice brilliant video great racing tomley
Thanks dude. It was a blast
Do you ever use a watt meter when gearing up? Does the esc limit current, or will it just burn up if you push it too hard?
PROBABLY BURN UP 4 SUPER HEAT .MAY B..HELLO FROM V&B SPEED A RC COMMUNITY. LET ME KNOW IF U FIND OUT THANK U
What are you using for your gps monitor? Cheers!
What pitch is the pinion you used Phil. Order my Forza and want to get pinions same time 👍
My car won’t accelerate it turns but no acceleration any suggestions, it’s back light is blinking
I wish I had one to add some really cool nice wheels and perhaps a custom paint scheme, with sound module...
What kind of charger do you have there in your trunk?
Fark yeah Tomley time!!!
😎🤘
Is it better than the infraction?
Noice! I reckon foam race tires would give you more confidence to go a little faster.
Yes, some foams would work well for sure
We dont get this stuff in Australia..
Try Reely Deathwatcher or FS Racing Model GT
AliExpress has an extremely similar car if not exactly the same and I wonder if it is just a rebranded model called an FSR 1/7 Mustang GT Flat Sports Car that comes in Blue or Silver.
It is $841.62AU plus $109.39AU for shipping making it $951.01AU in total is just a little bit cheaper than anywhere else I have seen for it and I would get one myself as all the specs are identical to the FTX model.
mint where can I get the 21T Pinion please
nice runs.. what pitch pinion does it need and is it a 5mm shaft please? be interesting to try a 24T and see the difference.
The silver hoons on this rig definitely seem more like drift tyres🤣
And needs a bit of DF work for speed😬130kph+ isn't bad at all just changing the pinion🤘
Awesome
Yes… sketchy to say the least 😅
Wow 😮 the thing is a beast !!!!
wonder if the shell will fit shreder my hobao vt as never seems to be much that fit it, nice car though!!
Where can you purchase this car
I hope they make a carbon fiber body as scratchproof?🤔
Love it ☺️ very nice indeed great speed out of the box shame about the tyres don't really help you a lot I'm looking forward to mine 😁💪
Yes, those Hoons were sketchy
In this video, is the location also where kev has done some of a few speed run videos?
No, he’s about 2hrs away
So you recon this one Is better than the ex07?
It is for me in the UK as spares/support is easier. But I’d say there is not much in it between the 2
Hey tomley where do you get spares for the ftx?
Most UK hobby shops stock them
@@TomleyRC and for people outside the uk?
Hello..I just purchased a Reely death watcher..the car is green from Amazon..are they the same car ? and if it's the same as FTX..Can I use one of my Felony pinion gear?? Thanks

I’m not sure many manufacturers sell bearings separately
You could just measure the size of the bearings and get them seperately
It definitely looks like it handles very well. I'm really liking that car Plus you can't go wrong with a mustang.😊
You know it was going to be squeaky bum time when the 21t went on !!
Screaming fast😊👍
Yesssssss. Thank you........loved it..
Thanks dude
Hey tomly in a few words can you tell me how compares To the EX07I know you liked that 1 how do you compare the 2
