Got one of these to play with! I love FTX products and it’s a a departure from the RC’s I mainly concentrate on, sometimes you need something to just thrash around without giving too much thought to it, the FTX Apache fits the bill. Hope you come check it out 🙂 big thanks to my 9 year old Daughter for stepping in on filming duties, thank you xx.
Also a big thanks to Inside Line Models for hooking us up with this one: www.insidelinemodels.com

Stunning truck Andy . I love the Roketan and this one is no different. It’s very smooth and like you said has the driving characteristics of a real Trophy/stadium truck! Thanks for sharing my friend!🙌🏼👊🏼💯😎

Great video and awesome truck! FTX do some great RTRs and I love my Zorro brushless truck!

I like that Andy, even though its obviously spinning its wheels on the dirt u can still see that its a quick and powerful rc car,looks quite a special truck for the money,ps nice old land rover 😁

@andyrobinsonrc2480 Жыл бұрын

It’s awesome for the money ! It gets the power down well and it’s stable and quick! Glad you like the Landy, it’s a 1955 year build

This looks like a whole load of fun Andy! Might have to break the Tamiya handcuffs and get one in the future.

Do it I don’t think you’d be disappointed, I love Tamiya’s but I doubt I’d do what I do with this compared to a Tamiya

Proud to say I still have both the Rokatan and RamRaider I got from yourself Andy.

@andyrobinsonrc2480 Жыл бұрын

Good Man! ;) they are great cars and well worth the money, although sadly I still probably won’t be keeping it. More stuff inbound ;)

I have 2 FTX Vantages brushed (one of them is the 2.0 version still BNIB and just waiting for me to do the brushless upgrade) and a brushless FTX Tracer MT. I had been planning on getting a Zorro but I'm going to get one of these instead. Thanks for the excellent review. FTX are good value and spares are easy to find (usually.)

Hi Nick, cheers for watching. My pleasure I’m glad you like the truck and the video . Ftx make sone fantastic models and most of them are well built , cheap to fix and represent good value for money. Take care

Hi Pete , tomley rc did a cracking video on it unfortunately I didn’t get the time to take it where I wanted to. It jumps pretty well though. All in all great value RC

Cheers for the video Andy, definitely thinking about pulling the trigger on one of these... I know ftx don't quite have the prestige or possibly the quality as the really big boys but with what you are getting in the box it's damm near half the price of some of them.. definitely want to have something brushless, lipo and don't feel like crying when I stack it in the collection 😬

Hi Steve , cheers for checking the video out. And i totally agree. It’s well worth considering. Enjoy it if you pull the trigger on one :)

That is a good amount of kit for the price. FTX really are offering good stuff.more.and more it seems. A RTR would be a refreshing change to me at the moment....will say no more lol

@andyrobinsonrc2480 Жыл бұрын

It’s fantastic for the price, plus spares are cheap if to does break. I think its well worth considering if you just want something to throw around with out the worry of breaking something hard to replace. Plus it’s smiles on your face

Evelyn did a great job filming.. she gave us viewers a good look at the car by panning around it and bringing the camera in close. Not easy filming someone else drive and she did that well too. ,👏🏻

@Luke-en2tk Жыл бұрын

The Ramraider and Apache both have the bigger shocks over the Rokatan, which makes quite a difference to the handling

@andyrobinsonrc2480 Жыл бұрын

Cheers Luke I didn’t notice that I thought the Rokotan and Apache were the same all round apart from the body ? Cheers for sharing

@andyrobinsonrc2480 Жыл бұрын

Having a look a the chassis images for both the Apache and Rokatan the body’s look a bit bigger on the Apache , but longer on on Rokatan but that could be different Springs , would like to see both chassis next to each other

@Luke-en2tk Жыл бұрын

@@andyrobinsonrc2480 Shocks are completely different I think they are shorter as they have a bigger diameter on Apache and Ramraider. The chassis is the same on the Rokatan and Apache though. Good video, really rips on gravel, some people have said it cogs a little bit on grass

It’s a decent vehicle but the parts back up in the UK is proving to be appalling 😡. I’ve been waiting for a replacement rear axle and the stock listing just keeps moving backwards every time I check.

@jmrcs2935 Жыл бұрын

does it have a flux capacitor with that 3500 volts

@andyrobinsonrc2480 Жыл бұрын

It sounded like I said it’s a 3500 volts battery what I meant is it’s a 3500 3s lipo by Voltz ;) yeah I’m pretty sure there’s s flux capacitor somewhere in there ;)
