The ALL New FTX Ramraider - 99% Ready to Run RC Car!

[@bukshyrecording2448]

FTX is really putting the pressure on the more expensive RC brands. When I bought my son an FTX Tracer brushed, then an Arrma Vorteks 3S BLX for myself, I obviously felt the difference. One for children, one for crazy bashing. But my childs ftx already had some more quality, for example Arrma keeps and goes on wobbling more and more. Recently FTX released same FTX Tracer w brushless motor, 1:16 size for ~£110 which does wheelies and back/frontflips on command w 2s lipo. Its crazy good value for money. Now they also go at least £100 below Rival mt10 or discounted Arrma Granite 3s blx on this 1:10 size, and they also include a lipo. Spares are also plenty everywhere and half or third the price of Arrma and other bigger brands. I must say, this is crazy good. In glad. Good job Tomley for the review, good job FTX

[@TheKawasaki500s]

For the body clips you can use some thin zip ties to join two together then if one came off you won't loose the second one and if the zip tie is yellow you and both come off you can find them pretty easy, never lost body pins again

[@michaeldorich4485]

I enjoyed the review. It's very tempting and looks like a lot fun.

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks mate

[@geevintv6689]

I was literally looking for 1/10 cheap bashers an hour ago. And then this video came 😂😂

[@TomleyRC]

Haha

[@G.M..]

Google is watching you 👀😋

[@MR.TOYBOX]

Tomley was like. Screw you horizon hobby and Traxxas. I will show them. Minutes later he post a video on the cheapest RTR!! 🤣 Get em Tomley RC

[@jamescalway-yr6id]

Great vid mate, Im in Australia and they are sold under the FSR (FS Racing) brand and they are called the Victory. Absolutely aswum car.

[@MountainRoadRC]

As already mentioned, it shares the same chassis/platform with the Reely New 1, Stagger and Rat Max. I've the New 1 and the Stagger and both cars a real fun 😃👍🏻 The diffs and the arms are a bit of a weak spot if you're going to bash it a bit harder. But in Germany RAGUA offers great metal an RPM upgrade parts (esp. Reely New 1). I think they should also fit to the FTX Ramraider 😃👍🏻

[@andymcpandy2128]

I've been wondering about upgrading the arms on my Carnage, but I'm worried going for stronger ones will push those forces further in and damage the chassis. (I may or may not hit the occasional tree).

[@simonolesen6693]

Same as the FS-RACING as well. It also have weak diffs and it's kind of sad cause it is such a little good truck.

[@paulreade8887]

This is one tough truck,cheap RC Trucks/Cars can take more abuse than expensive ones,i have the Zorro and Rokatan and there superb machines.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, they are tougher than some people think!

[@HobbyPerfeXion]

What a cool place to run - that bike park or whatever it was. Nice!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, nice place to run

[@h.chadders]

This is what I am getting for Christmas 😅 Looks great 😀 Thank you for the Video. Does anyone know if you could upgrade this Car with a faster Motor at some stage? What size would be like the max size Motor? How about a Battery Pack as well?

[@bryandominguez1116]

Rpm sells arms for the helion dominus sc10 and helion invictus mt10 and they will fit the ramraider

✌🏻😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿I’ve been looking at this for months just waiting for someone on KZbin to get it. Sometimes I wish I didn’t even know about RC’s before they are released to the public. It’s strange. When I was younger I had loads of patience. Now I feel like the older I get the less patience I have because I have less time to live or something 😂

Wow that rear shock oil is thin. What a great looking truck and a beautiful track . Very cool video

[@woutervanwijk4369]

I've noticed another model on this platform: the FTX Apache. Looks like they are positioning themselves as the slightly cheaper alternative to Arrma.

Yes, lots of new stuff about

[@alantaylor353]

Does it have the same wheelbase as the Rokatan.? Modelsport list it as 270 ish & the Rokatan at 330 ish...

I didn’t check, it may be shorter, I’ll have to have a look now you mention it

Another great video, can I ask your view comparing this to the FTX Carnage brushless?

I'd like to know this too!

What would you choose, Rokatan, apache or ramraider?

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

That track looks great. Is it a lime stone surface? Like button energized.

[@TomleyRC]

Not sure, really nice track though

[@markusbrownus]

I’ve got this truck and it give an absolute bashing when I take it and so far only broke one arm and steering knuckle. I totally agree that servo is not man enough but in the box it’s states it’s a 10kg not a 6kg

[@petitponey8447]

great!!!! is is same of reely new1?

[@roblowrie1969]

Much better looking than the supermegafugly Rokutan, that's for sure!! And why do some cars seem to shed body clips, like my cat sheds it's fur!! And it doesn't seem to matter if the pins are front to back, or side to side, the bloody things always come out!! My FTX Zorro being a prime culprit!! I ended up getting some Arrma style pins, with the rubber straps!! Problem solved. 😎🤘🏻

[@stevenfitzsimons7926]

Brilliant thanks so much that worked, the only problem now is I can't get it to go in reverse, any help please 🙏, sorry I,m new to RC cars

[@TomleyRC]

hmmm... I've not got mine to hand.... but it may tell you in the instructions how to calibrate the esc. I messaged FTX after your comment to let them know there maybe some issues with these not connecting out the box

[@polishguywithhardtospellna8227]

I wonder if plastics on ftx are any better than on other brands selling this chassis? And there is loads of them. Nice to see parts will keep flowing with another new model

[@alfiecox6946]

How come a more expensive ftx uses cross head screws, when a cheaper ftx model like the vantage or carnage uses hex head?

[@TomleyRC]

I guess it depends on the manufacturer, FTX don’t manufacture stuff themselves

Are these a clone of helion rc cars and trucks

[@gunnerman1880]

I don't think I would buy one for to it being not that far and like you said servo. I've just been out with my new maverick ion and it's very fast, but the body not so great and pretty much every time I jumped it stopped working I think it's where you plug in the battery it is coming lose not connecting, so gotta push back in. But I pad around £55 and it's great for that price. Had a French audience at the skate park who were very excited watching.😅

Mr Phil, can you check into the panda hobby tetra 24 v2? I got the v1 and it's a mess, hoping the v2 has issues fixed

[@andymcpandy2128]

How does it compare to the FTX Carnage? (Just bought one and, well, I can always make room for another...)

[@TomleyRC]

Carnage is a good for the money, this is about double the price, and a little better.

[@andymcpandy2128]

@@TomleyRC I should have specified, Carnage Brushless. I'm just wondering if it's worth upgrading the electronics (that annoying lag is, well, annoying) or look at a more-betterer starting point and keep the Carnage as a spare. It's that impossible dilemma really. I guess the real question is, do they supply fake receipts so the wife doesn't know how much I've spent?

[@paulmcnamara16]

Probably cheaper than a 2wd Stampede which is first basher for a lot of people!

[@valuerc2664]

It's more than double the price 280 pounds

I just bought one yesterday, batteries fully charged, new batteries in control, have turned on power but then nothing happens. Is there something that has to be done with controller i.e sink it to the jeep. Any help would be great, tks

[@TomleyRC]

With the transmitter switched off, hold the bind button then switch it on... the green lights will flash. Then switch the truck on a wait until it connects. Mine had the same issue. I think it may also tell you how to 'bind' it in the instructions. Hope that helps.

[@minimodness]

This or pay the extra for a DR8 Phil? This looks quicker with all the wheelies etc ☺️

[@chrisvda7277]

Would a different battery get it upto or past 40 mph? Will it take 4S sorry band new to RC

[@TomleyRC]

Yes possible… and it’s pretty cold at the mo. It doesn’t run 4s

[@chrisvda7277]

@Tomley RC Thanks mate

[@chrisvda7277]

So in theory I could put a 100C 3s and it wouldn't damage it. This is my first rc so it's all a bit confusing. Read up on it hundreds of times but still confused what is the best battery to get the most out of your system and how to do the maths based on the system. Could anyone work out the best battery for the Ramraider as an example. So I can somehow workout how you got to that conclusion

Not sure you’ll be able to get one in the US. Reely is a manufacturer that use the same chassis. So maybe worth having a look at them
