Hope you enjoyed seeing this FTX Tracer in action! What a great durable little truggy for the price! Let me know what you think of it down below. Its great that parts will be interchangeable! Cheers guys see you on the next one! If you haven't already be sure to subscribe we are so close to 5K!! 👍😎
I have one of these I love it in fact all my family love it FTX is such an underrated brand that proves that you can get a good fun RC car for under £100
They're actually the same and the funny thing is one transmitter will control both cars everytime if I get two models that have the same transmitter I never put batteries in the new one 😂
RC newbie here, great video. Decision was made and bought one for my son. He's loves it, but it has got wet and is now unresponsive. It's still receiving as you can tune the steering but there's no go. Any advice? 🤔
It's a great looking little Truggy, and I agree about it looking better than the HBX. I've had to order a new shell for my son's HBX as it's cracked to hell. I was looking at the new RedCat Racing Volcano 16, which again, is exactly the same as both the HBX and the FTX (and the HS1602). I should have looked for an FTX in the UK, rather than having to order from China. 👍🏻
Exactly Rob i think styling wise its better than the haiboxing but the main advantage is parts availability and ease of access to parts here in the UK which make this a very cheap viable option indeed!
@@beyondRC it's a shame that there isn't the support for the RedCat in the UK. They do a red truck body that's beautiful!! So I've ordered a clear body from China, and see if I can do my own!! 👍🏻
Great video. Multiple cameras , drone shots...wow,well done ! I think the Redcat Volcano 16 is the same chassis so that might be another source for replacement parts. Love the budget cars also. Thank you for posting.
Great vid Ricky, been away a bit in Hospital with Acute Apenditis, they caught it early so 4 days of drips, injections,more drips and more injections but I'm home with a nice bottle of morphine and another 8 days of antibiotics 🤣 . One thought for the channel, will you be reviewing any budget 1:10 , our little trucks cant cut the BMX track sadly
Cheers Phil did wonder where you got to mate been quiet lately! Hope you are feeling better now mate and loaded up on the pain relief! Absolutely i am eyeing up the maverick quantum flux at the moment along with a few others 😉
@@beyondRC yeah mate lots of morphine 😅 but I swear on my kids it was evil, apparently I passed out in the Ambulance due to the pain. I'm also a terrible sleeper at best but getting drips and injections every few hours,then observations every few hours I was climbing the walls to get out. Anyhoo I was looking at that range of Mavericks and Ftx. I love the look of the quantum in green,but also love the look of the Ftx Outlaw, I thought I was set on the Outlaw but it apparently has a few dodgy flaws.
Hi there As a kid I was mad on my rc cars, all nikko, never had any toy grade. Now my kids are at the right age we started playing with them but needles to say they didn't last long. After watching a load of your vids this seemed like the ideal way to start so we bought it and we love it. My only problem is battery life. I'd like to buy some batteries with a higher amp hour. I see 1500 mah ones advertised but looking at the dimensions they don't look like they would fit. Do you or any one else for that matter have know of a suitable spare for this ? Any help would be much appreciated. Keep up the good work, me and the kids love your videos.
i think a 2s 1000mah fits perfectly but this was so long ago now i simply cannot remember. Im sure i used a 1200mah 2s as well but again cant confirm :/! glad you like the vids welcome to the channel!
I have been watching alot of rc videos lately and youtube is filled with people that do reviews that is an absolute pain to watch. This youtuber is one of the better when it comes to Rc. The videos is very well done and you get all the essential info that you are looking for. I cant believe you dont have 100-300k subscribers! Keep up the good videos, they are very very good
Thank you for your amazing comment. I'm glad you are enjoying my videos i just try to make things as simple as possible for anyone to understand. Maybe one day we will reach 100k that is the dream! :)
Been there, done that, spent hundreds or even thousands on "pro" RC, and i sold everything, cause its like a hole in your pocket.... ill stick now to cheap and reasonable cars just for fun.
Great video mate ,I've had one of these for some time now and for the money they are really good .maybe you could review the maverick flux soon ,I've heard good and bad things about it but it's so cheap surely it's got to be worth it.
First good review of this. Nice to be able to get locally as imports aren't great at the moment. Does the truck have more ground clearance than truggy? Great video as always.
Thanks for the vid. So good I got one (in green) but now I want the orange one to race my daughter with. What do I need to do to have both running at the same time? Complete nubie to the rc world would guess its have to change frequency or something like that 🤷♂️
Just bought one of these for my boy. I bought a spare battery as well as the one that came with it. I assume you plug the balance plug into the charger, however the manual mentions green light but I only have red and it went out almost instantly after starting charging. I would of thought these batteries don't come with much charge so thought i would have to wait a while for full charge. Did your charger just have red light as well?
Thats correct balance plug into charger if using the included USB charger :) I didn't use the included charger i used my own lipo charger so cant comment on that unfortunately
@@beyondRC she loves it. She's only 4 so being able to dial the speed down a bit on the Radio was a real bonus so she can keep control of it a bit easier
I put these wheels on my wl toys 144001 and on the rear of my 124019 to make them sand dune buggies ..il send you a video soon . Plus want to start doing drag races on the beach down south if you think be a good summer event ?
Hi I have one of these but I have to keep going on and off the throttle as it cuts all power to the motor if I keep any amount of throttle on for around 2 seconds Once it cuts out there is a blue led on the receiver that starts to flash slowly Only does it on the ground If I hold it up it’s fine It’s like the esc Is overloading under any load? Any idea? Regards
For sure Paul. Welcome to RC and my channel! Get yourself a couple extra batteries. 1000mah lipos are cheap and easy to come by. The truggy is light and 1000mah will last you a decent amount of time. 👍😎
Do you have anyway to compare these to the Haiboxing hailstorm? It has the same layout but the hailstorm says it’s 1/18. It looks the same scale as the 1/16. If they are the same it would really help with finding parts. Please help:)
love these, starting to look now at UK sourced cars as BGood etc has gone all tits up with shipping and what items we can get. I'm looking for a good 1/10 budget car so if you have and suggestions guys I would appreciate it. Got to be budget as sadly im having to stop working at 48 due to disability :(
hey phil have noticed this today actually when browsing on their site. Not currently shipping via EU warehouse which will affect us. I would say the maverick range is great i love my strada, Team Corally Triton another great 1/10 monster and reminds me a lot of the traxxas stampede all below £150

And charger?
Got this for my 5yr old and i think its great he takes it to skate park, jumps it etc and its still going strong 👍
I have one of these I love it in fact all my family love it FTX is such an underrated brand that proves that you can get a good fun RC car for under £100
This and the HBX 16889 Brushless Truck are two of my favorite 1/16 scale RC Cars.
Cheap fun !! How long does it take to charge and the running time ?
They're actually the same and the funny thing is one transmitter will control both cars everytime if I get two models that have the same transmitter I never put batteries in the new one 😂

What a little belta!!!! Did I get a hint of Drone footage in there 🤣 Ideal first RC that, brilliantly shot brother
Cheers mate! A little hint of drone footage i dusted it off and took it out haha!!
Great video. Multiple cameras , drone shots...wow,well done ! I think the Redcat Volcano 16 is the same chassis so that might be another source for replacement parts. Love the budget cars also. Thank you for posting.
Thank you Rick! Glad you enjoyed its been a while since i got the Mavic mini drone out so dusted it off and got some drone shots haha! Cheers

Got it and do thoroughly enjoy as good option for this noob. Brushless version in HBX16890 badge. Thumbs up ! Tough little bugger for the price.
After thought: oil filled shock upgrade help considerably.
Fantastic video especially the drone shots I also have the mavic mini, again enjoyed that video.
Thanks 👍

@@beyondRC great thanks for the replying on an older video.
Have a good one.
I also love these little bashers.our family have the comet,bezgar 6,bezgar transformer,ftx vantage 2.0.on a lipo more fun.do like your video's fella.
is the pick-up version also suitable for a very young kid ( 3 year's old)
Great video thanks. Do you know if the 800maH battery can be replaced by a 2000maH battery for longer run time?
Yes
Superb introduction to this car, I have been looking at this with some upgrades for the kids xmas
Good choice! its great
I have been watching alot of rc videos lately and youtube is filled with people that do reviews that is an absolute pain to watch.

Try Kev Talbot too, he's very entertaining and informative.
Been there, done that, spent hundreds or even thousands on "pro" RC, and i sold everything, cause its like a hole in your pocket.... ill stick now to cheap and reasonable cars just for fun.
That looks awesome and handles the jumps really well what a great truggy and great durable rc
Epic little thing was very impressed with it 👍😎
Great video mate ,I've had one of these for some time now and for the money they are really good .maybe you could review the maverick flux soon ,I've heard good and bad things about it but it's so cheap surely it's got to be worth it.
Cheers Brad! As in the maverick quantum flux? Very true will add that one to my to do list 😉
Just looking for a review on this and my mate beyondrc got me covered many thanks buddy
No problem 👍
Awesome, i saw this one on banggood. Looks incredible 😀👍🏻
Hope you get that 5000 subs 🙏 mark bro
Am on 12k subs now mate 😅👍👍
First good review of this. Nice to be able to get locally as imports aren't great at the moment. Does the truck have more ground clearance than truggy? Great video as always.
i would say the monster truck has slightly more but they are both very similar
Thanks for the vid. So good I got one (in green) but now I want the orange one to race my daughter with. What do I need to do to have both running at the same time? Complete nubie to the rc world would guess its have to change frequency or something like that 🤷♂️
they use 2.4ghz you are good to go without changing anything!
@@beyondRC thanks. Just looked into the 2.4ghz system. All makes sense. #everydayisaschoolday 🤣🤣
Just bought one of these for my boy. I bought a spare battery as well as the one that came with it. I assume you plug the balance plug into the charger, however the manual mentions green light but I only have red and it went out almost instantly after starting charging.

Yes mine does red only too and works good. Bought two, one came at 70% and one at 30%. Enjoy!
Would recommend these to any one amazing bashers
Seems like with some better shocks it'd be even more fun! 👍👍
Absolutely! some oil filled shocks would be ideal for this little truggy!
Pretty sure this same kit is sold in Australia as a BlackZon Slyder. Can anyone recommend some compatible oil filled shocks for it?
It looks Fairly Similar to the Blackzon Warrior I got for my daughter for her Birthday
I believe there are multiple companies using the same chassis just rebranding it 😮👍
@@beyondRC she loves it. She's only 4 so being able to dial the speed down a bit on the Radio was a real bonus so she can keep control of it a bit easier
Fantastic!
WOW
looking good love the video keep up the good work
Cheers! 😎😀
Which Lipo battery would you recommend getting for this guys to maximise performance? I have just bought two for my son's. Fairly new to the game.
Like how it comes down.It looks like a magnet pulled it down ha ha.
Funny rc car , i have the brushless version :-)
its great!
I put these wheels on my wl toys 144001 and on the rear of my 124019 to make them sand dune buggies ..il send you a video soon .
Plus want to start doing drag races on the beach down south if you think be a good summer event ?
Would love to see that. Im sure its a good idea give it a go :)
Can you modify the buggy to have a lipo battery?
no mods necessary a lipo will work fine. a 1200/1000 mah 2s should be fine
@@beyondRC thanks 😊
Hi
I have one of these but I have to keep going on and off the throttle as it cuts all power to the motor if I keep any amount of throttle on for around 2 seconds
Once it cuts out there is a blue led on the receiver that starts to flash slowly
Only does it on the ground
If I hold it up it’s fine
It’s like the esc Is overloading under any load?
Any idea?
Regards
Hi buddy just gave you a sub. Would you recommend buying two batteries with it? I’m new to all this at the age of 63 😂
Atb

For sure Paul. Welcome to RC and my channel! Get yourself a couple extra batteries. 1000mah lipos are cheap and easy to come by. The truggy is light and 1000mah will last you a decent amount of time. 👍😎
Needs upgrades 🔥🚦
There are plenty available ;)
Bought the Ftx tracer monster truck it has a 3wire servo is this a update??

You don`t get any instructions with models from MN or WPL, really liking FTX as a beginner.
💯✌️
Where can I get upgrades for it
What is the run time ?
What the best battery to buy to upgrade
Would this handle a 2s lipo with the built in ESC?
yes
How fast would you say it goes?
How do I do brushless conversion for my one
there is a brushless RTR mate.
can you use a 7.4 volt lipo
🚗 🔥
Hi how do u bind these cars ?
Is this the brushless?
no brushed but HBX do a brushless version i believe not FTX
That entire vehicle is cheaper than Arrma diffs lmao
hahaha True!
Is this rc Ok for an 8 jear old Child. He wont to Play in Skatepark. Sorry for my Englisch. Thx from germany
Definitely! if anything its one of the best RC's for an 8 year old!
@@beyondRC thx u
Not bad for kids or beginners I guess but looks a bit cheap and nasty to me. Great vid again though mate.
Cheers mate! Great option for kids and beginners! I had a lot of fun with it 👍😀
You can't go wrong really can you..?
C
Price..!!!!
The PRICE boy''
Not even written in the description.. 🤬💩👎
Already multiple links in description. Cheers 👍
is the pick-up version also suitable for a very young kid ( 3 year's old)
ive given mine to my 3 year old many times and its still in one piece!!
