    It's a great looking little Truggy, and I agree about it looking better than the HBX. I've had to order a new shell for my son's HBX as it's cracked to hell. I was looking at the new RedCat Racing Volcano 16, which again, is exactly the same as both the HBX and the FTX (and the HS1602). I should have looked for an FTX in the UK, rather than having to order from China. 👍🏻

    Just bought one of these for my boy. I bought a spare battery as well as the one that came with it. I assume you plug the balance plug into the charger, however the manual mentions green light but I only have red and it went out almost instantly after starting charging. I would of thought these batteries don't come with much charge so thought i would have to wait a while for full charge. Did your charger just have red light as well?

    Hi there As a kid I was mad on my rc cars, all nikko, never had any toy grade. Now my kids are at the right age we started playing with them but needles to say they didn't last long. After watching a load of your vids this seemed like the ideal way to start so we bought it and we love it. My only problem is battery life. I'd like to buy some batteries with a higher amp hour. I see 1500 mah ones advertised but looking at the dimensions they don't look like they would fit. Do you or any one else for that matter have know of a suitable spare for this ? Any help would be much appreciated. Keep up the good work, me and the kids love your videos.
