"We'll just pretend it made it up there", so people buy this piece of trash! Anything can be made to look good, stop trying to sell your viewers rubbish.

[@lukedavis4213]

Not sure if you're aware, but stating "let's pretend it did this" in footage is making it obvious it didn't do it? Did you get a rough night's sleep or something?

[@rab..]

Don't you think that you're taking playing with toy cars a bit seriously ? 😂😂😂

[@j.steven5003]

I love that Phil pinned this comment! In my opinion, he's one of the most honest reviewers on KZbin, and lots of us enjoy that he's not just reviewing the expensive "big name brands". He'll call cars and trucks rubbish if they are rubbish unlike other youtubers who praise everything on their channels just for the BangGood clicks and money. Last year, I picked up a cheapo MN-86ks because of one of his videos, and found that with a bit of work and upgrades, it's nearly as capable as my trusty SCX-10, and it looks amazing on the trails. There's RC for everyone, and this truck might not be for you... So don't buy it.

[@TomleyRC]

This comment is a very good example to show that it doesn't matter what you say or what you do... someone will always find the negative lol. My humour is to much for some people haha

[@aimeedotson2756]

People talk bad about the cheaper stuff but it is how u care for it and what you do with it. My favorite has been a 60 dollar 1/12 truck that was a great basher

[@mraltoid19]

Honestly, it's only a little bit more than I spent on the ZP1001, and has a unique body (Landrovers everywhere...ugghhhh) and a known brand. While I really like my ZP1001, these FTX Crawlers seem quite a bit better, with more upgrades. After putting an ISDT ESC70, servo and replacing the 540 motor with a 550, I'd say I spent more on the ZP1001 than this FTX costs. Now that I know more about this hobby (thanks to you and that other guy that's a bit crazier, like a Tall roBot) I know more and am grateful.

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

These are impressive Phil RGT’s had them out since before Christmas! Love the last song and so did my sock puppets! 😝😂Great crawling Phil! Amazing truck!

Nice one Phil , perfect value for money to get people into the hobby ! Looks like a great turnout at bedds , was there an event on or did the sunshine bring everybody out of the woodwork ?

I have the RGT 136100V3 (outback). Broke the thing first drive just at the beach. It’s a 1/10th scale with 1/24th scale parts. Just doesn’t work.

[@ChiefRickyRC]

Soon as someone gets WPL to make a C24 with a 2speed and MN90 tires standard 😉

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome ride there, Tomley! Really fantastic spot for a crawler! 😃 About the motor, it may not be big and so on, but even those smaller 180 motors many WPLs use are impressively strong! They could break lots of parts. Believe me, I did it. 😬 Most motors used for rc are like that! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@markcampbell3147]

I keep looking at the ftx brand, for a very similar price I'd highly recommend the FS Racing Jeep, got one for my boy and it's preforms really well.

Mr. Tomley. Name is Richard. Do you know anywhere that sells brass weights, widener parts, other upgrading parts for the RGT 136100V3-FD, in Europe or the States where I live in Muskegon, Michigan. I have looked without success in locating upgrade parts that I would like to have. Thank you. Enjoy your videos tremendously.

[@mcfrog4189]

Just picked up a second Outback Mini yesterday. Cracking little trucks. The full sized ones do look enticing 🤔

Great video and great truck Phil. Looks like a a Land rover at the front and a Bronco at the rear. With some chunky tyres will perform well. I was looking for a crawler might give FTX a look. Need to finish my Bronco CC-02 first.

My old man got one of these just to pick up something cheap so he could drive his with me. It's a pretty capable little truck. Looks great, too.

I had the 1st version and really enjoyed it, I broke the steering servo within weeks but after replacing it was fine for 6 months then I sold it.

[@Subcat001]

Looks great. Was really tempted by the Paso as a spare 1/10 crawler/trail truck. Now I've seen the Treka 3 it's going to be harder to resist. I wonder if they'll update the Tundra body too?

[@bodandron5255]

My c24 powered by a 180 shredded both driveshafts

[@lukedavis4213]

After going through 3 gearboxes in our Paso, I've put a 540 in it. No idea how people have run these on more than a light trail without braking it! 🤣 Apart from that it's been great, I do like the Outback chassis 👌

[@Nordlicht05]

Oh weak point ?! Otherwise seams a good offer but not if you need to replace essential things in a short time

[@lukedavis4213]

@@Nordlicht05 not sure really, haven't seen many have issues gearbox wise really. It's the same as all the other Outbacks I believe, replacement gears are cheap though! No metal option unfortunately...

[@TomleyRC]

Shame you've gone through so many! I gave the Paso quite a bit of abuse in the quarry against the SCX6.... and this Treka broke a driveshaft, which would indicate the gearbox held up okay. But as you have said, cheap enough to fix... unlike some of the more expensive rigs. Metal option would be good though!

[@lukedavis4213]

@@TomleyRC If there was a metal option I'd be back to 390s in both our Outbacks! More than enough power and silly amounts of run time. All of the stripped gears have been the center gear, it's odd as I don't see many other problems with them!

FTX fury is better than all imo

[@dustineputtaert5792]

@@Eddiee757 I haven't tried it I only got the outback 2 for 2 reasons 1 as I was just getting in crawlers and didn't want to spend mega bucks just incase I didn't like it (stupid of me thinking that with my RC collection) so I opted for the outback 2 and 2 it was just over £120 brand new so not to much to lose if I didn't like it as a first time crawler I was very impressed

I am honestly not a fan of the FTX brand though and will only recommend them if you are on a lower end budget.

🎺👉 Always a good laugh!! Thank you for your great review I’m purchasing one of these for sure!

[@elmarksrecreation7516]

it looks like a rgt clone

[@davidives7204]

Another enjoyable video. I was glued to the screen all the way through. I find it most intriguing to see how an Rc vehicle's body sits when negotiating the toughest of terrains. Like you, I was convinced it would tumble on that steep bendy decent, BUT it didn't! It does, of course, depend on the driver. The first crawler I bought was the Kanyon; practising a lot with this tremendous fun. I, too, have an FTX Jimny and a Traxxas Bronco that haven't been driven yet. Tomley, your reviews for me are like the "What Car" publication of the nineties. I'm sure many of your UK viewers will remember this magazine. We all have our opinions; just keep it polite - as Basil Fawlty would say, "Manners cost nothing, dear"!

[@IowLad]

My first crawler was the ftx outback 3 paso, it was very capable and was going 98% the places my mates scx10 trail honcho was going. I sold mine the other night to get a trx4, but I'm unsure as I've seen the ftx fury 2.0 is coming out and I love it, but it's not out until 26th September 😭

[@sukarnoahmad6048]

Quite a number of my team members use the RGT Jimny, which i believe is very similar to the FTX counterpart. Your video is interesting i probably would get this RGT bronco soon. Thanks for the trail run. Yes it is capable 👍.

[@RetroXor]

I got into RC cars last year, and Outback 2 was my first car. After a couple of drives I realized that the stock car was actually quite rubbish; it would constantly flip over and the servo broke down. Since then I've upgraded the weight distribution, servo, electronics, changed rims to aluminum ones etc, and now the car is actually not that bad. What I definitely learned from Outback 2 is the joy of modifying the car and trying to make it better yourself. The modified Outback 2 actually starts to resemble stock Treka 3 / Outback 3 more and more.

[@kieranmcmahon1745]

Looks like such a capable truck for the price. Whereabouts was the course you were at? I don't have anything like that near me. Looks a lot of fun to do the hobby with other people.
