E294: Let’s Drive It ! Awesome Brushless Trophy Truck (apache) By FTX ! Love It (paid promotion)

Published: 28/05/23
Got one of these to play with! I love FTX products and it’s a a departure from the RC’s I mainly concentrate on, sometimes you need something to just thrash around without giving too much thought to it, the FTX Apache fits the bill. Hope you come check it out 🙂 big thanks to my 9 year old Daughter for stepping in on filming duties, thank you xx.
Also a big thanks to Inside Line Models for hooking us up with this one: www.insidelinemodels.com

Stunning truck Andy . I love the Roketan and this one is no different. It’s very smooth and like you said has the driving characteristics of a real Trophy/stadium truck! Thanks for sharing my friend!🙌🏼👊🏼💯😎

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Thank you , ftx make some belting RTRs , glad it’s not just me who thought it behaves like a real trophy truck

[@richlaw666]

Great video think ill get one of these

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Cheers Rich much appreciated, enjoy the truck if you go ahead and get one , cheers for watching

[@RCBirds]

Great presentation and run Andy

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Thank you , I owe this one to my daughter for filming it :)

[@aarondavies8486]

Wounder if the apache shell will fit the udi

[@PizzaPieee]

I've not used mine in a year or more, definitely need to plan somewhere to take them out. Their so much fun

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Yeah I struggle sometimes to find the time to use mine , but they like to be used it’s what there for ;) hope you get out soon. Take care

[@SpeccyMan]

I have 2 FTX Vantages brushed (one of them is the 2.0 version still BNIB and just waiting for me to do the brushless upgrade) and a brushless FTX Tracer MT. I had been planning on getting a Zorro but I'm going to get one of these instead. Thanks for the excellent review. FTX are good value and spares are easy to find (usually.)

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Hi Nick, cheers for watching. My pleasure I’m glad you like the truck and the video . Ftx make sone fantastic models and most of them are well built , cheap to fix and represent good value for money. Take care

[@traxxasfans]

Great video that truck looks like a lot of fun for not a lot of money.

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Your absolutely right ! Thanks so much for checking the video out :)

[@GTMatukka]

As you know Andy, the postman will always come twice.. 😂

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Ha ha indeed ;)

[@RcNBeyond]

Proud to say I still have both the Rokatan and RamRaider I got from yourself Andy.

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Good Man! ;) they are great cars and well worth the money, although sadly I still probably won’t be keeping it. More stuff inbound ;)

[@Luke-en2tk]

The Ramraider and Apache both have the bigger shocks over the Rokatan, which makes quite a difference to the handling

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Cheers Luke I didn’t notice that I thought the Rokotan and Apache were the same all round apart from the body ? Cheers for sharing

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Having a look a the chassis images for both the Apache and Rokatan the body’s look a bit bigger on the Apache , but longer on on Rokatan but that could be different Springs , would like to see both chassis next to each other

[@Luke-en2tk]

​@@andyrobinsonrc2480 Shocks are completely different I think they are shorter as they have a bigger diameter on Apache and Ramraider. The chassis is the same on the Rokatan and Apache though. Good video, really rips on gravel, some people have said it cogs a little bit on grass

[@paulrobinson9355]

Great video and awesome truck! FTX do some great RTRs and I love my Zorro brushless truck!

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

That they do, they offer great value for money and offer sone great RCs

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

This looks like a whole load of fun Andy! Might have to break the Tamiya handcuffs and get one in the future.

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Do it I don’t think you’d be disappointed, I love Tamiya’s but I doubt I’d do what I do with this compared to a Tamiya

[@stevegolds2551]

Cheers for the video Andy, definitely thinking about pulling the trigger on one of these... I know ftx don't quite have the prestige or possibly the quality as the really big boys but with what you are getting in the box it's damm near half the price of some of them.. definitely want to have something brushless, lipo and don't feel like crying when I stack it in the collection 😬

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Hi Steve , cheers for checking the video out. And i totally agree. It’s well worth considering. Enjoy it if you pull the trigger on one :)

[@mikeymike3240]

Evil Lynne is a great wee camerachick 😊, awesome truck, it goes really good , niiiiiiiiiiice video Andy 😊

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Cheers Mike, she did a good job especially trying to keep up with the car when running . Thanks fella

[@n22pdf]

Amazing value dude.. wow and a good make FTX impressive.. 👍👍😃 not so keep on the stadium truck bodies.. would be great to see it doing some jumps 😊

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Hi Pete , tomley rc did a cracking video on it unfortunately I didn’t get the time to take it where I wanted to. It jumps pretty well though. All in all great value RC

[@carlkeig5640]

I like that Andy, even though its obviously spinning its wheels on the dirt u can still see that its a quick and powerful rc car,looks quite a special truck for the money,ps nice old land rover 😁

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

It’s awesome for the money ! It gets the power down well and it’s stable and quick! Glad you like the Landy, it’s a 1955 year build

[@rc-dom-uk]

What a bargain mate . Great review 😊👍

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

It certainly is Dom , cheers for watching glad you liked the vid! ;)

[@DustyFingersRC]

That is a good amount of kit for the price. FTX really are offering good stuff.more.and more it seems. A RTR would be a refreshing change to me at the moment....will say no more lol

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

It’s fantastic for the price, plus spares are cheap if to does break. I think its well worth considering if you just want something to throw around with out the worry of breaking something hard to replace. Plus it’s smiles on your face

[@DustyFingersRC]

Evelyn did a great job filming.. she gave us viewers a good look at the car by panning around it and bringing the camera in close. Not easy filming someone else drive and she did that well too. ,👏🏻

[@jonreed3342]

It’s a decent vehicle but the parts back up in the UK is proving to be appalling 😡. I’ve been waiting for a replacement rear axle and the stock listing just keeps moving backwards every time I check.

[@jmrcs2935]

does it have a flux capacitor with that 3500 volts

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

It sounded like I said it’s a 3500 volts battery what I meant is it’s a 3500 3s lipo by Voltz ;) yeah I’m pretty sure there’s s flux capacitor somewhere in there ;)

[@BrensRCracing]

Not sure that this can be faulted for the price...

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

I don’t think it can either, Bren ! Definitely value for money and smiles on faces

[@lifehackertips]

Too bad it’s only 1/10 scale

[@alaskanmusher7098]

Well, a lot of people are into 1/10 scale like the traxxas slash, and I thought it would be a good comparison🤷‍♂️.

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

I prefer 1/10 myself, there are larger scale ones out there but then the price goes a lot higher, it’s good for the money

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

I’d do a comparison if I had a slash ;)
