What has broken on the FTX Zorro after a month of absolutely hammering around.
Is it better than the Traxxas slash ??? well only time will tell
this is probably the best value FTX car ... it is not cheap but it has great performance for the money.
Probably the best value short course truck on the market in 2021 ... favorite car of the year so far. amazing RC car

Had some issues with the centre diff on mine, the front of the casing sheered off and striped the spur gear.

Hi guys, just a note on tyres for the Zorro, have you tried the Traxxas Slash or the Anacondas the are much harder wearing than the stock tyres. I have gone through two sets already of the stock tyres and am now using Anacondas on the road and Slash tyres on grass.

Hi , I have been looking forward to your review on the Zorro I bought one a few days ago , handles great . Had a few issues with weak servo and loose screws and front bumper coming off and slow in reverse, sorted with a surpas program card , all part of the hobby I suppose , but have to say it been great fun so far , look forward to seeing how it get on agains the other RC cars ,

Yeah mine is slow in reverse but I barely use reverse so did not consider it an issue … we have had issues with some servo savers on previous FTX cars but not experienced any issues as yet …. As you can see from video we have really put the steering to the test on our Popalong tracks ..

Yeah it was , only because I watched one of your videos on the old Zorro that I checked this morning and noticed the screws missing at the servo , luckily everything was still inside the car and put it back together . I set reverse to 75% , it's better now and doesn't get stuck as much , cheers

Liking the look of this little truck for some quick 2s easy to run fun. Can I ask did you find some suitable wheel & tyres to replace the stock ones? Thanks for your time.

Performance of stock tyres was good so replaced like for like …

Handling wise it is great .. durability not as high as Traxxas however with upgrades it can become very durable
