A look around Andrew's FTX Mauler

[@hollyhillrc]

Hi. I came here after reading your reply on Tib's video. This video was very helpful. I was wondering if lights would fit in those holes in the back and you've answered my question. The advice on the steering is very useful too. Thanks for that. You've got a new subscriber and a well deserved thumbs up : ))

[@John.lakesrc]

I`ve ordered one of the steering links from boom racing, do i need anything else to fit it? Cheers for the video.

[@antrc]

Hey John, no i don't think so. I filed some of the plastic bump stops down too, but really how much difference it makes is debatable. Smaller tyres might help too lol

[@sam97eck]

Nice truck and great video

[@MrNiteriders1]

That’s sweet man. Nice video 👍👍

[@antrc]

Thanks Kenny!

[@felixfisher5832]

Did the boom racing shocks just bolt straight on or did you have to make them fit.

[@konyg4398]

Can i ask about the shocks you have i have bought some exactly the same diff brand on them but the top mounts are like the standard ball type nit like the standard mauler top mounts how have you managed to fit yours?

[@antrc]

No probs mate. You have to put a spacer - two nuts I used - in to keep the shock away from the chassis rails. Is that what you mean?

[@mustangdavid2010]

Nice vid could you post links to the wheel sna tyres please

[@antrc]

They are both on ebay mate, 2.2 size. My history doesn't go back far enough sadly. Tyres are rubbish on rocks as I've just found, so that's something to consider.

[@mustangdavid2010]

@@antrc thank you after sending I realised this vid was 3 year ago lol, I am subscribed so I'll check out some of your mor recen vids, thanks for replying 👍

[@elsankey]

Would you be able to put the link where i could get the steering arm?

[@dwbv00]

Hello AntRC were those shocks a direct bolt up or did you have to add spacers to the top eyelet of shock? Thanks!

[@antrc]

I forgot to look this morning, sorry bud. Definitely spacers tho, as with all my rigs, but I was gonna measure them for ya.

[@dwbv00]

@@antrc yeah if you could that would be great. I'm thinking of getting the gun metal grey yeah racing versions of those since I can't get the blue boom racing shocks. Seems they are out of stock everywhere.

[@antrc]

@@dwbv00 yes noticed that too. They're nowt special mind. Stock shocks aren't bad if you swap oil.

[@dwbv00]

@@antrc yeah.....if you could get a measurement of the spacers that'd be great! I got the rgt rock hammer and already bulletproofing it and upgrading all the weak stuff

[@antrc]

@@dwbv00 alright bro, 5mm spacers all round. 👍

[@garybonnar3125]

Hi could you let me know where to buy the steering link, bomracing ##BR233007S, please in UK preferably, thanks!

[@antrc]

Google it, maybe ebay? I have no secret supplier sadly 👍

[@rileykairc]

I have one of these well sort of now besides the chassis and battery and electric trays and bumper is all that's left, shock the same as yours full metal gear box and drive shifts 550 Holmes hobbies crawl master Pro motor hobby wing 1080 esc 2x 36kg steering servos as its now full cnc front and rear steering, hustler tyres with bead locks battery is 3s 5000 mah and the rc element trophy rat body with light kit and light bar on bumper it works really well crawls up every thing I have tried

[@antrc]

Christ!! 😳😳😳 Sounds a beast mate.

[@rileykairc]

@@antrc it's alot heavier but I bought to to change and use as an moa platform just didn't go that way in the end still have fine tuning to get it perfect but it's so much fun even more so than the original

[@bernardrc1137]

Am impressed with my stock mauler,,even though j have just brought her ALREADY 🤑😱,had to put metal diffs in back, front right plastic diff gone now,,, all sold out none in stock, 🤑🤑,,could order from afar ,but Inc shipping double price,,😑😅,,,anyways, she does very well with just 3WD,,,thinks lipo power turns stock mauler diffs into chocolate 😅😅👍

[@dwbv00]

Very nice Mauler! I ordered it's cousin truck the rgt rock hammer. I already have upgrades for mine coming while I wait for the truck to arrive. I ordered the same tires and wheels. Also a 25kg waterproof 7.4v servo and metal trans gears and new locker/gears, and aluminum c-hubs and knuckles from redcat. Over here in the USA we can use redcat upgrade parts considering HSP makes redcat products.

[@antrc]

Wow that is a touch alright. Go for it. Sadly this one is heading for ebay soon to make way for something else. But thy are entertaining trucks, v different to regular 313mm crawlers.

[@dwbv00]

@@antrc I'm sorry to hear your going to sell. Where I play, we have dirt, water, sand, hills and rocks. So I can't wait to try mine out!

[@antrc]

@@dwbv00 I'm kinda sad as I put a lot into it, paint job etc, but in the end if it ain't be wheeled then it needs to go to someone who will. Sounds a lot like our areas. Those tyres will eat it. 👌
