Oh wow, super video. I have the aluminium ackerman and it was seizing the whole steering. Driving me crazy trying to find a solution. Off to the garage to add spacers, longer screws and nut/washer! Amazing!

What is the metal front bumper? Where did you get that? Looks great. I swapped mine out for a carnage bumper, but it is quite big on the vantage (but does the job well).

It's from a rock crawler front axle I modified it a bit so it would fit 👍

Hello, good video. Well found. No one seems to complain about the e-clip pinging or the part being inadequate to start with. I guess at this price point people just pay £3 for a new servo saver or they don't care or notice. A link from where you got it would be useful and also a hint about shipping costs would be useful as well. I am in the UK too and I have found a place to buy it from. It says free shipping from China but what about import taxes etc? How much did it cost you? I think there are a few weak points with the FTX Vantage (known under other names too) but I think it is very underrated and with a few upgrades it is pretty darn good value. Is yours brushed? Steel spur and pinion are a must if going to brushless.

Hi there. I use to race 1/10 electric 4wd when I was a boy. I'm now in my late 40s and I'm interested in getting back into racing and perhaps get my son involved. Looking for a budget 1/10 electric 4wd and think the vantage might be a good choice. Are they reasonably competitive? Back in my day I raced my yokomo dog fighter against Schumacher cats an kyosho optima mids. Ball diffs were pretty much in everything so I'm surprised to see cars still have gear diffs.
@rcmatmat2 жыл бұрын
I've never raced the vantage but some people have with s few mobs ,they are a very capable buggy but the front arms are a bit weak so I'd change them the brushless motor is ok but again not the best but all depends on what you want to do with it
