First look at the new FTX Carnage 2.0, in Tay Models, Scotland.
Here, we compare it to the previous incarnation, to see what's what.
It turns out, not much has changed, but the few changes made are very welcome... ESPECIALLY the ESC!
Enjoy.

I love my brushless carnage. I’ve bashed mine about a lot since Xmas. It’s lasting well

@PeteWylieRC 4 года назад

The main problem I had with my Bugsta and my mate had with his Carnage was grit getting into the spur gear as the casing isn't properly sealed. I thought that FTX might address that issue. We solved it with bathroom sealant! Anyway a nice new body shell if nothing else! Thanks for sharing Mike 😀

@TheRCScotsman 4 года назад

Bathroom sealant is a standard RC spare, right? Everyone has that in their RC toolbox, right? RIGHT??

Hi guys! Thanks for the video. I'm looking to buy an RC for myself and my 3yo boy. I came across Carnage 2.0 and the original one which is almost £200 but apparently waterproof. We like to go to the seaside and I was wondering if the Carnage 2.0 would be okay to drive on sand and wet surfaces like puddles and mud?

@philliplyn2692 4 года назад

Really like this truck can't go wrong with the price and the upgraded parts just add powerful batteries with charger it's a win win situation 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪

@MintDirectory 4 года назад

You should also see that they've improved the motor mount. There's no longer a space where the chassis meets the mount helping to prevent debris eating at the spur/pinion.

@ANYTHING-AND-EVERYTHING. 4 года назад

Is this true?

@MintDirectory 4 года назад

@@ANYTHING-AND-EVERYTHING. Yup! I've the Carnage 2.0 and the bugsta and was surprised when I saw the ringing mount on the new Carnage. Irritatingly, it's not available as a part yet after speaking to FTX. Likely a few months yet, maybe longer with delays due to covid

@andrewbounds8672 4 года назад

Thanks guys how do I stiffen up the suspension do I tighten or loosen the the adjust rings

@TheRCScotsman 4 года назад

Tighten them down a little bit, small changes at a time, maybe 5mm. This compresses the spring and increases the tension; thus, making the suspension stiffer.

@RonanKearney1 4 года назад

hey Andrew. Once I added anti-roll bars to my carnage NT the suspension stiffened up considerably. It's a cheap hop up that makes a big difference to the amount of abuse the carnage can take on impact. I've not bent my chassis since adding the anti-roll bars.

@keaty1984 4 года назад

@@RonanKearney1 do you have a link for the anti roll bars ?

@Nick-cs9dt 4 года назад

They addressed the Esc issue, that’s good, but anyone can just get a HW 1060. What people can’t do is upgrade the a arms, spur gear and crown gear issues. All of which they’ve neglected after how many years of selling the old one?

@andrewbounds8672 4 года назад

Thanks guy’s I will try it when all this madness is over is over do you do mail order parts

@TheRCScotsman 3 года назад

Not normally, but yes!

@thevisitor6267 4 года назад

Sad to say the Carnage has put me off FTX for life. I couldn't get a pack through mine without killing the transmission, mostly the spur gear. Such a shame they didn't address this as I liked the way it drove.

@TheRCScotsman 4 года назад

That's a shame. Did you set the slipper clutch correctly? That should have prevented anything, unless you had an imbalance, somewhere in the gearbox?

@itsmepaul2011 3 года назад

We have just bought 2 of these for our boys Christmas. I have read that people upgrade the batteries to 2s lipos 7.4v for longer run time, can you tell me if its a straight fit or do I have to change the connections on the wires? Cheers and thanks for an informative video

@TheRCScotsman 3 года назад

Some lipos come with the Tamiya-style plug (which will be a direct fit), but most come with Deans plugs. For this, you'd need a Deans to Tamiya adapter, for each car. These are dirt cheap and are all over ebay etc. After that, there's simply a little jumper on the ESC. You can move this from "ni-mh" to "lipo" and you're good to go! DON'T FORGET to move the jumper! Otherwise your ESC will kill your lipo batteries. You'll also need a lipo charger. Ni-mh battery charges do not charge lipos and risk starting a fire if they are tried. Make sure you read up on lipo charging. it's very straightforward, but it's important.

@kloppskalli 4 года назад

i'm about to order one for my son, should I order any spares with it? is it durable? i read elsewhere that a better battery makes it much faster

@TheRCScotsman 4 года назад

Hello. Nah, as long as you don't go mental at a skate park (or something similar), then it should hold-up pretty well. Although, it never hurts to grab a few spares, especially when FTX spares are so damn cheap! Yes, a 2s (7.4v) lipo makes it go better. Top speed is only marginally better, but the response/pick-up is greater.

@andrewbounds8672 4 года назад

Hi guys how can I stop my FTC bugsta from flipping over then turning

@TheRCScotsman 4 года назад

You could try stiffening-up the suspension, or buy the FTX Sway Bar set (anti-roll bars), part no. FTX6376.

@semperatis 4 года назад

Typical,and there was me hoping that they might have changed over to 32 dp gearing rather than that 48dp that they normally used.

@TheRCScotsman 4 года назад

Looking for a bit more durability?

@semperatis 4 года назад

I have a habit of stripping 48dp gears and 32dp is so much easier to set too.

@TheRCScotsman 4 года назад

Very true! Although, personally, I've always been happy with 48dp.

Better off just getting a cheap 2.4Ghz system. They're only about £20+ and they'll come pre-bound, so will work straight away.

That is Sloppy. They’ve made no improvements to the build quality the chassis has not changed just Slapped a new body on and painted the wheels chrome.

@Madprax 9 месяцев назад

Major problem of these cars is just too much flex / bending of the chassis that forces on the gears and destroy transmission . v1 or v2 same problem. Bad design.

@TheRCScotsman 8 месяцев назад

Yes, they aren't amazing. Fine in normal bashing situations. Anything more hardcore causes issues.
