My every day RC is a DR8 and have a brushed Outlaw which im going to re motor to 12T love driving on grass and gravel got the Zorro for £216.59 which i think is the best 3s capable Baja truck out there IMO .

I've lived in the UK for 8 years now , UK is where my love to rc cars really started . Same as you I love ftx and whenever someone asks me for my opinion on any rc car I say they should have a look at FTX stuff whether it's a crawler , mini crawler , buggy , truggy ect no matter what scale ftx covers mostly everything . I've been subscribed to your channel for 3 years now and I've watched all your videos , some of them 2-3 times lol . I like the way you.make these videos and the atmosphere and all but this is the first time I would come to a disagreement with you if I was to meet you face2face - mcdonalds makes decent coffee but its NOWHERE NEAR COSTA COFFEE my friend 😆 Wish I could meet you one day for a coffee and a little bash , stay safe Phill😉

I have seen the brush version and it looks a bit more upscale, well worth the brushless upgrade 👍

Brilliant video and great music choice 👍👍 Keep up the good work, loving the new show room

Always enjoy the FYX range. Cheap to buy and cheap to fix but still able to have some great fun with them. Left a thumbs up 👍

Hi Phil when you do your outside filming are you wearing a chest mount for the camera whilst driving...just wondering great vids btw Cheers mark

Had this for a few days now and got to reprogram esc as breaking is too harsh ! And you can’t do it without the optional card so had to order one only £9 ish, but you need to tame the brakes or your tyres will definitely suffer for sure!!! Apart from that it’s seems pretty good especially for the price 👍👍👍 and it is fast on 3s …

Hi what type is the pinion on these mod 1. 32 p etc ...I want to put a larger gear ⚙️ cheers

Chassi is exactly the same as my VRX RH818 that Im converting to a SCT. It´s hard do get the body shipped here to Brasil though

Can you show what you did with the zip tie modification at all? I want this with a 3S.

Hey what do u use to check the speed on your rc cars. And what kind is it the name .

I have 4 ftx vehicles and once you go up the S you start to burn out your diffs and you cant buy harden steel diffs .so if it says 2S stick with 2s .as 3s will keep costing you £££££and around £17 to £21 each the cost mounts up .

Is drivetrain bullet proof on these no maintenance needed longterm

Whats your thoughts on not getting any more speed from the bigger 2s battery? Ive just bought that same cnhl 100c battery for my daughters vantage. Did i just waste £40m 🤦‍♂️🤣

Anyone know what should be in the center diff , grease or a high viscosity diff oil ? I'm not sure grease is viscous enough for the purpose of the center diff.

Would like to see you send your Yaris.😜

I have a brushless 144001 (2838 4000something kv) and my sons have 1/16 HBX 16889/16890 with oil shocks as an upgrade. I'd recommend the HBX in a heartbeat. Very durable, fast, loads of fun, ideal for bashing. The 144001 is faster, but the little HBX are way more fun. Popping wheelies even on the stock LiOn battery, runs 15-20mins on the small 1000something mAh batteries. Plenty of spares available. There is even a Pro version of the 16889 with metal diffs, metal driveshafts, lipo and slightly bigger motor. The Pro is ~100€ depending on taxes.
