Did I make a mistake selling my Traxxas TRX4 and not my $800 FTX (total cost with upgrades)? I don't think so, this FTX Tracker is not only a really nice scale looking Land Cruiser LC76, but it's a very good RC Crawler. And now even better with all the upgrades! (but expensive now as well!)

285+ RC cars in the collection (we counted them with you 😁), yet, needed to get rid of the TRX4 to make space….😂, clearly my boy Phil is not a Traxxas fan…. 😂

@TomleyRC Год назад

I've been found out haha

@eprc7585 Год назад

@@TomleyRC wouldnt it have been more interesting to have kept the TRX4 and compared the 2 back to back? Maybe still possible with the TRX4 Sport

@DeliberateNRandom Год назад

I bought the Sport. I don't really see a big difference. More weight from the servos, more to go wrong. Some people recommend the Sport for the weight alone. Up to you. The price was my biggest concern for what you get.

Also consider the Absima Sherpa cr3.4. Great truck for the money it also has portal axles, two speed transmission, locking front and rear diffs and an awesome light kit 😎 ( also sold as Rebel RC Rebelcon and Yikong YK4102)

@009ADVENTURES Год назад

@TASMAN-1 Год назад

When the bonnet latch breaks off, drill out the base of it, fit a small hex bolt with a washer atop, so you just turn the bolt 45 deg' to open the hood. I also took to the hood hinges with a gas torch, stretched them so the hood can open further, only to find the rear of the hood hits the body & stops it. Still, fitted a charge cord extension so now just open the hood to recharge!

@FarmerFpv Год назад

I recently sold my TRX4 and bought the Traction Hobby Cragsman C F150 1/8 scale crawler. It has selectable 2wd & 4wd lockable front and rear diffs, 2-speed transmission. It's freaking awesome. Well worth the 1k price tag. If you haven't seen one you need to check it out, Phil. I think you would fall in love. Doesnt has portals but it doesn't need them because of the tall tires and the inverted diffs. Plenty of clearance. It comes with brass in all the right places. Maybe you can get them to send you one for review? I hope to see more 1/8 scale crawlers. They just perform so well cause of the size. BTW your new rig looks freaking amazing!

@daz9882 Год назад

Indeed, China brand crawlers is getting so much feature for value. I got my YiKong 4082 1/8 scale and loving it, they just released YK4083 Bronco 1/8 and looking great!

@taucalm Год назад

if it's a par then this ftx is really overpriced as trx cost about 400$.

Great content. What are your thoughts between this FTX Tracker and the MST DC1?

@khalidmuhammad1991 Год назад

@torrosixsixzero Год назад

Wish I had somewhere like that near me. Nice truck..

@HobbyPerfeXion Год назад

I don't think you could go wrong either way with the looks of the FTX. Sure the TRX4 is the more popular of the two, but popular doesn't always equal better. Good on you for showing the capabilities of the FTX although at $800, it should perform well ;-) .

@taucalm Год назад

it's not a honest comparation as you get two trx4 with price of one ftx. it should be compared with 400$ trx + 400$ upgrades to this ftx out of the box 800$.

@twain772 Год назад

I havnt even finished the video yet and I am going to tell you right now you are not going to like the metal skid plates you put on. Those plates are going to get hung up on everything you try to climb over plus metal doesnt slide as easily as plastic. I would also like to say thank you for being an honest nonbiased youtuber, not being a traxxas fan boy lets me know you`re not a mindless toad wo was brainwashed by the hype of the traxxas vehicles. Dont get me wrong like you I know a great rig when i see one and the trx4 line of rigs are pretty awesome and you can not take that away from them, but there lots of other vehicles out there that can compare or even beat the trx4 so it is not the greatest rig anymore so thank you for showing that by selling your trx4 and getting this FTX.

@erood6190 Год назад

I installed the Hobbywing Fusion in my FTX Geo. The motor is very quiet but the gears are noisy. But only at higher speeds. I prefer the really slow crawling anyway. The FTX Geo is almost as good as my TRX4. The only downside is no portal axles.

@TomleyRC Год назад

Yes, the GEO is such a nice truck. I must get mine out again!

@denisbarrette2546 Год назад

Tomley, you're the best RC'ing Brit out there. Keep on the good work. Speaking of FTX's (or RTG's), I have the RGT Jimny, did you ever consider getting it ? With some mods, it becomes REALLY good both on the rocks and trails... May be you already reviewed it and I missed it...

@TomleyRC Год назад

Thanks Denis. I have made a couple of videos with the Jimny. I’ve put different wheels/tyres on mine. It’s so good!

How did you miss the video of him doing an entire course with 3 wheels after one kept falling off 😅🤣 I have the RGT version of the Jimny and it's amazing for 200 bucks, makes me want the little Bronco they have too, but I think I need the TRX4M next!

@andrewmagro7703 Год назад

you cant compare the LC76 looks to traxxas as the old school wins hands down for me and i love my TRX4's as yes i have 2 the Bronco and the Defender but then again i love the look of the Redcat Gen 8 too , must be the scale look of the older stuff thats more appealing will definately be looking at getting a FTX now i know that its as capable as all that Phil, thanks for the review , Cheerio 🙂

@stuartr8356 Год назад

TrX4 is the keeper, not an FTX. It's a good rig, but TRX4 is the original and best with amazing aftermarket support. I think you'd have been better off with a Defender body like mine has as you'd likely feel more emotionally connected to it. Still, nice to see different ideas tried & yes I'm a subscriber :)
