My New KING of Crawlers, the $800 FTX Tracker!
Рет қаралды 37,209
Жыл бұрынDid I make a mistake selling my Traxxas TRX4 and not my $800 FTX (total cost with upgrades)? I don't think so, this FTX Tracker is not only a really nice scale looking Land Cruiser LC76, but it's a very good RC Crawler. And now even better with all the upgrades! (but expensive now as well!)

I bought the Sport. I don't really see a big difference. More weight from the servos, more to go wrong. Some people recommend the Sport for the weight alone. Up to you. The price was my biggest concern for what you get.

When the bonnet latch breaks off, drill out the base of it, fit a small hex bolt with a washer atop, so you just turn the bolt 45 deg' to open the hood. I also took to the hood hinges with a gas torch, stretched them so the hood can open further, only to find the rear of the hood hits the body & stops it. Still, fitted a charge cord extension so now just open the hood to recharge!

I recently sold my TRX4 and bought the Traction Hobby Cragsman C F150 1/8 scale crawler. It has selectable 2wd & 4wd lockable front and rear diffs, 2-speed transmission. It's freaking awesome. Well worth the 1k price tag. If you haven't seen one you need to check it out, Phil. I think you would fall in love. Doesnt has portals but it doesn't need them because of the tall tires and the inverted diffs. Plenty of clearance. It comes with brass in all the right places. Maybe you can get them to send you one for review? I hope to see more 1/8 scale crawlers. They just perform so well cause of the size. BTW your new rig looks freaking amazing!

I havnt even finished the video yet and I am going to tell you right now you are not going to like the metal skid plates you put on. Those plates are going to get hung up on everything you try to climb over plus metal doesnt slide as easily as plastic. I would also like to say thank you for being an honest nonbiased youtuber, not being a traxxas fan boy lets me know you`re not a mindless toad wo was brainwashed by the hype of the traxxas vehicles. Dont get me wrong like you I know a great rig when i see one and the trx4 line of rigs are pretty awesome and you can not take that away from them, but there lots of other vehicles out there that can compare or even beat the trx4 so it is not the greatest rig anymore so thank you for showing that by selling your trx4 and getting this FTX.
@andrewmagro7703 Жыл бұрын
you cant compare the LC76 looks to traxxas as the old school wins hands down for me and i love my TRX4's as yes i have 2 the Bronco and the Defender but then again i love the look of the Redcat Gen 8 too , must be the scale look of the older stuff thats more appealing will definately be looking at getting a FTX now i know that its as capable as all that Phil, thanks for the review , Cheerio 🙂
