Forgot to mention your choice of music always fits the content perfectly, not much into country but you have introduced me to Bo the Drifter which I'm very grateful for, cheers mate.
I like the back suspenion style and i like the steering link in the front that is above the axle so you will not hang up in obstacles. The car has flex , i can't understand why people may don't like this style of suspension. This car has settings that other more expensive don't have. Don't complain guys , the model is very nice balanced. Front motor position also , what else do you want in this price . There are some other crawlers that cost a bit more than 400 dollars and they don't have the steering link above the axle and tbey don't have this style of suspention. It's fine model i like it for real.
Regarding branding, FTX is a brand owned by CMl Distribution in the UK, most of their car range comes from HSP and River Hobby, who will rebrand their products with your own name if you buy enough of them. The RGT brand is owned by High Speed Hobby Co, who sell most of their budget cars under their HSP brand. This crawler is manufactured by HSP, HSP then use the RGT brand to sell their crawlers separate from their main brands.
Have one myself got it all n grey love it but had to fiddle with the lights as they were not put in correctly but all good know great truck indeed, defo recommend for the price
Hi Phill I really like this truck especially the cantilever suspension works very well! Outstanding video quality a movie like experience. Keep up your awesome work. Thanks Mate.
Ftx outlaw ftx zorro, am surprised that most rc TH-cam channels are not reviewing these rc off vehicles i have a zorro and outlaw i brought brushed versions but upgraded them to brushless they and very strong the only thing though is the brushed motors in my view are not good but apart from that am loving em,lol , ian
Thanks for introducing me to a whole new brand of RC. I took a look at their homepage and they have some pretty cool looking rigs. Im always on the look out for new brands.
Pretty decent little rig there! I never understood why they make the turn signals blink. NO one ever uses their turn signals like that when they are crawling. It would be cool if they had a mode where all the lights just stayed ON and another so turn signals worked when you were stopped or going slow with wheels turned. Would be cool for realism and role playing!
Love it! The pic on the website does nt do the colour justice,it’s gorgeous,thanks for this. I was looking at the 1-18 ECX temper but now I ve seen this I ve got a dilema😂😂😂 again,thanks😂😂👍 Great video Tom,love the water run👍
Nice truck, excellent review 👍 GT85 is my goto for the motorbike too. The decent nozzle produces a fine mist so it's easier to apply than ACF50. It's also a fraction of the price. It's compatible with plastics and rubber. The ptfe in it helps moisture dispersion too. Just be careful not to get it on brake discs as I did. First ride after winter and on first brake application I nearly went straight on at a junction 😂. That wss fun. Character building as they say 😉😂
if i could afford one of thease :) had a tripple bypass surgery as of 3 heart attacks cannot work anymore so doubt idd be able to afford this but nice as truck loving the candy red
They're both great looking trucks, but I prefer the red over the mango orange!! Does it really need a panhard bar with 4 link suspension? I thought you only had those when you had 2 links, and the panhard rod made the 3rd? Great video, again. 👍🏻
Pretty impressed with how much water it can navigate thru. Confused by the branding, though. I live in Texas and we don’t have any “outback;” well except for the steak house....
Love the Outback Steak house .... Blooming Onions are pretty special :). It comes under the RGT Brand in many places. FTX Outback is the UK/Europe brand
Great song! Bo the drifter? Nice video again buddy and the ftx is a decent looking truck. Don't know which I would go for. Ftx or rgb? Is there much difference in price?
Whata confusing world we live in - if two nin affiliated companies both flog this truck, who owns the rights to the design? Still, it´s a lovely thing and you did a cracking job of showing it off to us.
Hi has anyone had issues with the lights, my headlamps seem to stay on all the time but channel 4 switch is meant to change the operation and when turning left the steering has to be almost at maximum lock before indicating light comes on??
Is that where the Blair witch was filmed!? Spooky! Watch out for any odd piles of rocks mate!? LOL!!! Awesome video, looks like you had a ton of fun! Those snap shots were great too! 👌🍻from🇨🇦
HI Mate, I'm pretty novice with all the tech stuff haha, could i ask your advice on this RC. They seem pretty noisy when running, I've re greased everything i can think of and am no thinking its the whine on the motor, any advice on how to quiet it down or is it a case of swapping the motor out. Thanks mate
Thanks for your review, have they already improved the turning radius on this model? I know from experience that the RGT / FTX models suffer from a large turning radius.
@@TomleyRC You can file a bit of the limiters on the steering knuckle, use a wider hex hub and twist the front lower connecting cables closer to the center so that the wheels do not rub.

which I'm very grateful for, cheers mate.
No probs Mark. I spend quite a while finding the right music :)
Wow!!! I like it. I could see it taking up a space on my self.
I have always enjoyed your eclectic choice of music administered in just the right amount at the right time.
Appreciate the feedback. I spend quite a bit of time matching the music to the RC i'm recording.
@@TomleyRC hello,
I like this .cool to see reviews on rc that don’t cost the same a second hand Ford focus 👊👊

Yes, so much to like about this truck! But it doesn't have a 'Traxxas' name and price tag!
Man that's a great spot for these li'l trucks! And if this video doesn't make it as an FTX ad campaign vid, I don't know what will!
I made a separate one for FTX... they loved it :)
@@TomleyRC That's awesome my dude! 👍😎
@@TomleyRC By the way, I want to buy an RC mouse toy for my neighbour's cat. Have you reviewed any? I'll check your vids.
Just got one in for repairs from a friend and surprised how good the build quality feels!
I dig that cantilever suspension for a crawler. That’s dope
I like those cantilever shocks a lot. Very cool design.

I review for CML... they've got a good Brand with the FTX. Yes, I though RGT/HSP might be the OEM supplier
Very cool images in the forest!!
That's a really nice spot to run that rig and those rear shocks are my favourite how don't people like them lol
Cheers, been looking forward to this video, saving the penny's for the FTX, fancy it in grey.
Grey is nice.... not good for the camera though on a dull day lol
Plenty of flex from the cantilever rear suspension, nice.
Have one myself got it all n grey love it but had to fiddle with the lights as they were not put in correctly but all good know great truck indeed, defo recommend for the price
Really nice looking truck, think I’ll look into one of these! Thanks for the intro Tom.
No probs Eric
A lovely little video, as usual. Lots to like about this truck too, I always feel a 4 wheel steering conversion in the air with 2 solid axles!
Nice trail video, the truck does really well. Could be a base for some fun projects as well. 😁
Hi Phill I really like this truck especially the cantilever suspension works very well! Outstanding video quality a movie like experience.
Keep up your awesome work. Thanks Mate.
Yay Tomley!
Crawlers arent really my cup of tea but I think im coming round to them. Might have to pick one up to add to the collection. Great video as always.
Thanks dude
Looks very nice. Nice video too.
Vraiment très joli ce camion, really nice looking truck
That icy mud plunge made my toes cold 🥶. Better have some wellies handy🤣. That red looks good on the Power Wagonesque body.
I always have my wellies to hand :)
Top video very nice crawler
Look forward to adding that rig to my collection and thanks for awesome trail run👍
Do you do redcat? Would love to see one the gen 8s go through that river spot!
Just bought one today, can't wait to try it out. Looks epic!
There's some really nice walks near me, and I can't help but think something like this would be ideal for them. Perhaps one for me to consider.
Great video!
Very nice video, the vehicle looks great
Very well presented video. I may have to get one
Thanks :)
Thanks for all the videos, love them. Always enjoyable. Except you make me want to buy everything. . . even the bad ones because you fix them up! lol
haha...sorry dude. Cheers for the support :)
Love the yellow one also :P
Ftx outlaw ftx zorro, am surprised that most rc TH-cam channels are not reviewing these rc off vehicles i have a zorro and outlaw i brought brushed versions but upgraded them to brushless they and very strong the only thing though is the brushed motors in my view are not good but apart from that am loving em,lol , ian
Great footage.
Thank you
Be good to see this against the new Element RC Enduro trail truck Sendero HD, will you be getting one?
Possibly. 😎👍
Thanks for introducing me to a whole new brand of RC. I took a look at their homepage and they have some pretty cool looking rigs. Im always on the look out for new brands.
Looks great enjoy.👍👍👍👍👍
Cool little truck defo prefere the red one!
Good RC's are getting cheap, and cheap RC's are getting good 🤯👍
Agree :)
might have to get one for the missus... and if she doesn't like it, I get to keep it! nice video as ever.
Correct cinematic terrain, beautiful route. The new truck is really something.
Good video friend 👍
Thanks dude
I really want one of these, the body style is very me, just need to justify the expenditure....
Nice new location, love this trailing style video...
Thanks mate. 'Greetwell Hollow'.. same place as the Quarry 👍
Cool Rig
I Like this color more it is a nice truck 👍🏻👋🏻
good Crawler!👍👍👍cute dog))
Any plans to review the MST crawlers? Would really like to see a comparison with this - similar styling but MST comes with portals
I like the look of them, so maybe something to think about yeah
Pretty decent little rig there! I never understood why they make the turn signals blink. NO one ever uses their turn signals like that when they are crawling. It would be cool if they had a mode where all the lights just stayed ON and another so turn signals worked when you were stopped or going slow with wheels turned.

Yeah, the turn signals can be quite annoying... not very scale really

Great video Tom,love the water run👍
Thanks Paul. Such as nice looking rig :)
cool run,awesome rc,like the music at the end
Thanks dude
No loop the loop attempt in that tunnel, I'm disappointed 🤣🤣 great edit 👍🏻
Cheers dude.... Challenge accepted!

Enjoyed full watch 👊🏻👍🏻

Can you test the crawler Danchee Ridgerock ?? Your video are nice continue like this
I've got some videos of the FTX Ravine which is the same. Really good for the money
Pretty impressive little truck, dude! Really nice! 😃
Fantastic ride!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
looks like a seriously good crawler, not a fan of the body tho, anyone know if scale bodies are available?
Which did you think was better the FTX outback or the RGT Crusher. Even though they are the same base truck
No difference at all 👍
@@TomleyRC ok cool thank you. My local hobby shop has the RGT version. I'll get that one
Im from the same area as this video and just wondered where you brought this from if it was a local shop or online
I got it from PBM Racing in Nottingham
I like that, not seen the rgt version . great trail run bud 👍
Cheers dude
This thing have a metal transmission gear?
Yes
love it man 🍻🍻
very cool video my friend 😎😎😎👍👍👍
2.2 tires?
Which is better? 86610 vs 86010 thanks
Can you help me.. I have a question ftx Texan. It’s not working out of the box
12:19 that's how I broke my front left half shaft. Tangled along my wheel and the torque of the motor snapped the metal axle in half. Never again...
Lol that dog I get it all the time they chase my Rc car 😂
the tires look like BFGoodrich al terrain tires.
CV break first ride ,now put some TRX4 Axels under and it crawls like a dream.
They're both great looking trucks, but I prefer the red over the mango orange!! Does it really need a panhard bar with 4 link suspension? I thought you only had those when you had 2 links, and the panhard rod made the 3rd? Great video, again. 👍🏻
I took one of the links out of the RGT... doesn't need 4... and actually reduces the amount of droop on one side
Good little truck that! Looks well equipped for the price. Just out of interest, what was the song you used for the muddy icey part?
Err... not sure sorry. I have a big library full of them
Pretty impressed with how much water it can navigate thru. Confused by the branding, though. I live in Texas and we don’t have any “outback;” well except for the steak house....

@@TomleyRC yeah, I like the food there, too. I was just kidding about the mixed metaphor; as a Texan, it sounds odd, though...
Is the FTX ravine waterproof? If yes I will get it, if not I will buy a more expensive crawler such as redcat gen 8.
It floats on water... and is water proof
Where is theZd racing ex07 video???
Nice radio control dog, is it brushless?
8s by the looks of it haha
Woww...molto bello...però io preferisco RGT ...bel video... ciao Tomley
mr tomley-texan or fury or geo for a g6 comp?
I love the Geo…but Texan gives you the lay down shocks for that clean look
Great song! Bo the drifter? Nice video again buddy and the ftx is a decent looking truck. Don't know which I would go for. Ftx or rgb? Is there much difference in price?
Not much difference in price really.
Which is best this or the ftx geo?
Geo
Pretty Boss
What is the top speed on this?
Whata confusing world we live in - if two nin affiliated companies both flog this truck, who owns the rights to the design?
Still, it´s a lovely thing and you did a cracking job of showing it off to us.
FTX/CML import them in to the UK and rebrand. I think that’s what multiple companies do.. the OEM is HSP I believe
@@TomleyRC or RGT :D
I'm not really in to crawling but maaan u made me wanna buy 1 😅
haha
Hi has anyone had issues with the lights, my headlamps seem to stay on all the time but channel 4 switch is meant to change the operation and when turning left the steering has to be almost at maximum lock before indicating light comes on??
I just woke up to this. :)
Good morning 😎
@@TomleyRC good morning to you as well
What do you think is better? FTX GEO or FTX Texan?
First love your vids ❤️❤️
Is that where the Blair witch was filmed!? Spooky! Watch out for any odd piles of rocks mate!? LOL!!! Awesome video, looks like you had a ton of fun! Those snap shots were great too! 👌🍻from🇨🇦
Thanks dude. It's a pretty nice trail.... the stream will get a good run in the summer when the water levels are a bit lower

Thanks for your review, have they already improved the turning radius on this model? I know from experience that the RGT / FTX models suffer from a large turning radius.
Yeah it’s not the greatest to be honest, I’m not sure if there is any ‘hacks’ to get more out of it
@@TomleyRC You can file a bit of the limiters on the steering knuckle, use a wider hex hub and twist the front lower connecting cables closer to the center so that the wheels do not rub.
Better than a traxxas trx4 sport?
Do a work vid on the mini grave digger pls
Ftx good cars
This truck is $510..In Australia plus postage very expensive for what it is..i can get gen2 8 v2 scout for same price...
Yeah, I guess that's gonna be a killer at that price really
All Rc cars more expensive here in Australia...it sucks...haha
RGT is the factory. If i rmbr well, 80% of their business is OEM to other big brands like horizon hobby
On a 4000mAh,you'll probably get close to 4 hours trail time Phil.
