It seems ftx have got some pretty good start out stuff, always loved rc and my 4yr old is taking an interest.

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

This is also Being sold By HnR as the Panther for those who want one in the US. Just Note that the tires that come stock on it, Balloon into the Chassis and fender Causing the Car to pull wildly to on direction or spin out completely. A set of medium compound to hard compound tires will fix the issue. I agree with you Ricky. If I Purchase this car, I too am not going to do all kinds of upgrades and just enjoy it just the way it comes, as I do with many of my Rc's. awesome review bud and great driving ! Take care My Friend!

[@ChazOutlaw]

The modern HSP on road platform, should be good for parts support. Good solid platform

I love the design ❤️

[@tylerowen6152]

I have one of these and having a lot of fun with it. It’d be good to see a video on how to sort the gyro issue and also if the anti roll bar that is supplied makes any noticeable difference

[@FarmerFpv]

That's the Rebel HNR H9802 Dodge SRT Driftt Car. The Rebel brand cost more at $375.00. They are sweet cars!

[@dazofthemoo1531]

Excellent. Been hoping you'd review this one for a while. I really like the look of this thing, a lot. Been after a new drifter. So if I can get one to Australia cheaply, maybe.

[@bradmenday3843]

Great review Ricky, like this one a lot, looks amazing and is within my price range and you can't go wrong with FTX.

[@beyondRC]

Couldn't agree more!

[@XBB_very_good]

It is a relabel model from HNR H9802 Dodge Hellcat, FTX sometimes select some good RCs from VRX, HSP or RGT to relabel, by the way, another model HNR H9801 is a big foot truck

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

Yes your right, but the FTX version include way better tires that don’t balloon into the chassis which causes steering control issues. If you can get the FTX, get that one or harder tires for the HNR. This thing is awesome though either way you go!

[@FarmerFpv]

I have the HNR MARS Pro H9801. It's a skate park beast! It takes a licking and keeps on ticking!

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

@@FarmerFpv I’ve got that truck too and your💯% right about the H9801, it’s a beast where ever it goes. Mines in pieces right now, hoping to fix it one one of these days! Awesome!👊🏼😎✌🏼

@@FarmerFpv Yes, that truck moves!

[@roadstar499]

​@@BangForYourBuckRcso does yours hit 55 mph and got nice and straight with good wheels....pretty dumb that they sell these will tires that balloon and hit frame and body...thanks for your input.

[@jees3474]

The VRX Xranger ebl used to hit way faster speeds. I wish they still sold it instead of rebranding to ftx banzai

[@paulrobinson9355]

You gotta remember Arrma is a UK brand too just owned now by Horizon hobbies! Great car and video 👍

[@rctraildriversuk-lone-wolfvide]

stunning roaster for the money, but i can see a few people speed running these

[@spenn2007]

Now this is what we want to see!! You really disappointed me with entertaining traxxas, as i depended on your channel to provide reviews for a variety of products and different scaled RC's. Now you're back to form!! Great review, I'm trying to buy one of these and have it shipped here to the States.

[@beyondRC]

Glad you enjoyed! I know lots of people are not a fan of traxxas anymore but I have been a fan since I was a kid. I know their kits are overpriced and overrated but I still enjoy some of their cars. I dont tend to discriminate a single brand even though I know the majority are against them. I am still happy to see what they bring to the table and then its down to the viewers to make their own mind up. Appreciate the feedback :)

Ha.!! I've literally just ordered myself one from Modelsport.!! It was between this, a Fazer (it's only brushed) or an Rlarrlo (parts availability) & this won.!

Great choice! Best thing is parts are cheap and easily available!

[@alantaylor353]

[@hyperc5249]

I want one but FTX doesnt ship to the US. I even contacted them directly and was told they dont because of insurance reasons. Awesome rig for the price.

I’ve heard this too and it’s a real shame they won’t ship to the US😢

FTX is in pretty much all the hobby shops here in Australia, and US too I think. I just picked up a 2nd hand Bugsta, which is a Carnage, which is a VRX Sword from what I can tell

[@hyperc5249]

Nope not in the US. I even contacted FTX and they said they don't ship to the US because of insurance reasons?!??!

[@shadyhazza]

​@@hyperc5249 damn. I dunno how the distribution works here, but I just saw the new zorro in a shop today. I just ordered some parts for my bugsta from VRX directly since its a rebadge (and my hobby shop didn't stock the metal spur), but I don't know about the newer ramraider and zorro and this drift car

[@techspeedrc]

​@@shadyhazzathe Ramraider is a FS Racing Rebel MT, the two Zorros are a VRX Octane Blast and VRX Sword

[@shadyhazza]

​@@techspeedrc thanks yeah i didn't know what the ramraider was, and I'm guessing that rokutan mad max one is based on that also. i recently picked up a vrx octane and the ftx bugsta dirt cheap 2nd hand. I might get a zorro shell for the octane. already installed a zorro bumper on the bugsta and it fits perfectly. For good measure I got an ftx vantage 2.0 to complete the vrx/ftx fleet. That Rebel MT chassis looks nice though

[@Omnitermniator]

I would have liked to get one of these myself, unfortunately not being in the UK means this is unavailable? Great video though, well done👍

[@beyondRC]

It’s available worldwide under the hnr brand. Hnr panther

[@roadstar499]

Unfortunately using stock tires on 3s will not work well..tires expand and hit frame as well as body... do you think the rhalarro is a much better handling car and better deal than this...? Thanks for sharing

[@beyondRC]

The rlaarlo does handle better than this yes I managed over 70mph with the rlaarlo and it had plenty left to Give

The gyro is reversed on mine, even I double tap on the button, he don't get in the right position, I'm lost..

[@charlesreynolds7407]

I had the same trouble.If you take the receiver out there's a button on the other side, double tap that one and that should fix the problem.

[@dannysdailys]

The same thing as a 6 year old Red Cat Lightning car and the HSP platform in general. There's nothing new under the sun. In fact, it may be an HSP/ Red Cat foam front bumper on it. And that's a good thing. I just don't want anyone to get confused here. This is NOT an original design. I've been putting gyros in them that long as well. They have to have them at 3s because of the torque steer of the front wheels. And you should've ran it at 3s. Especially with it having a gyro. I stop at 3s and use 50c batteries. Or won't its ESC handle it? That's a 60 amp? I run 120's. And I have custom cars that will go 100 mph at 3s. Why would you need anymore than that? They can do 15 foot 4 wheel drive burnouts so torque steer is kinda important. Their power to weight is like 2.4, and they turn like 65,000 rpms? Any more than that makes the batteries very cumbersome and, I can get 40 minutes out of a 3s 5,000. I charge my batteries in the car and never take them out. Let alone run out of juice. The lighting on this is really nice, (it should be) but I don't like the molded in fake scoops on top of the front fenders. That ruins the car. Why didn't they just leave it alone?

[@ckmitchell212]

it's a totally new composite chassis, nothing from 6 years ago
