These vids are very relaxing. There's something pleasing about the mechanical simplicity of these RC cars. I'm actually thinking of picking one up to play around with it. And of course your voice is smooth as butter.

theres something about smooth shocks that's so pleasing, I was just doing that to my losi-xxx-sct, after adding oil to the shocks. This is not a bad buggy for the price. Thanks for sharing

I love the vantage. Iv got the 1st gen with a razor10 3000kv brushless setup and a 29t pinion. Goes like mad and is super fun. Parts are cheap with great availability. I'd say one of the best budget rc cars out there, and with all the metal and carbon upgrades that are available no one will go disappointed with this car. Looking forward to more video's from you on this buddy

Looks nice! I'd love to pit it against my 104001 build. I'm very fond of it, and it runs very well with the tweaks I've made to it. Theres nothing quite like a 10th scale buggy! That's the life! I like that its got a slipper standard.

@markscotchford4159 2 года назад

Hi. Good video as always. You said you were going to go through the differences but I'm not sure you actually did. Yes the spur gear is a weak point. There are a couple on this buggy. Another is the servo saver. The e-clip pings off. You can get a replacement metal spur gear from a variety of places. A must if going Brushless. Steering upgrades are available but are not officially available. You mentioned the general prices of chassis's. Yes with the Vantage there is the main chassis for less than £10 or the front part for less than £3. It is designed so the front part breaks under a heavy impact. You can be looking at a car in half after a major shunt. Cost of repair could be £3. You can go the whole hog and buy a carbon chassis but then you could be looking at a large repair bill. Advantage of a carbon chassis. Well it looks nice and you'll get less chassis flex. I have had one of these buggies for two years and they represent a great way into the hobby. Parts are cheap and are readily available. Yes, it could be better but at this price point it offers outstanding value. Looking forward to your upgrade series on this.

@bretzeletouffeur7401 3 года назад

A stone grinding the central shaft is a classic on 144001 but you recognize the sound at first blood when you had it before. Good to see that also happens on other brands and sound the same :-) Thank you for the video

Looks good defo do the brushless conversion can't believe what u get with it for the money keep up the good work tomley great vids good for finding things out 👍👏

@MustangsCanTurnToo 3 года назад

What I love about older buggies (like from the 80s) is they looked like a person could drive them. Shock towers were in the worst place because the imaginary driver needed to see out the front. They had good visibility all around. New ones look purpose built for maximum performance and undoubtedly out perform anything from 20-30 years ago…but they don’t excite me 😕

@ripmax333 2 года назад

yes, nowadays they don't go for that scale look but performance-wise they are super fun, luckily company's like Kyhoso still make super cool retro buggies.

@WheelsRC 3 года назад

I have an original hornet which I added a ubec but now confused what else I need to do as it isn't behaving properly. Wondering if I change the controller to a be type as I've got the Fm type can I do that she'd do I need to swap the ESC and receiver too. Any help on this would be appreciated thanks.

@Sideshowgaz5779 3 года назад

Between me and friends we have 2 Bugstas, 1 Vantage and a Carnage, and all have eaten the spur gear quickly. Like you say though, they do a cheap plastic one for £2, and hardened one for about £8 and Aliexpress do a metal on for about £10. Just buy the metal one and forget about it. Also, yes to the brushless conversion! I have a 2200kv 3660 Surpass Hobby in mine and it is quick on 2S, and silly on 3S

I was given a petrol stock car and I bought a Tamiya Hornet as a youngster, but I haven't touched rc since then. Wandering if I can just change the gearing, servo and ESC and a better lipo maybe to improve things! what do you think? as I am on a budget.

Thanx for the review! I truly enjoy watching your vids on RU-vid. I have one question to ask and would like your advice. Tomorrow I'm planning on going to a hobby store nearby (NL) buying my first RC. The store recommended the carnage 2.0. I've seen the review on your channel and also watched the review on the vantage 2.0 Out of these two, which one would you say is the better one? Thanx in advance and keep up the good work!

@shadyhazza 8 месяцев назад

just got this car and ran my first lipo pack thru it, and my reason for wanting to upgrade to brushless isn't the speed, its how quick it burns thru the battery! I'll be upgrading it to a low kv setup at my earliest convenience, but it handles so nice (but yeah servo is a bit on the slow side)

I've got one of these FTX Vantage's and my spur gears gone on it and needs replacing!! Such a pain, having to mess about. Otherwise I like it fella. Mine runs on a 2S lipo battery, stock and it's pretty fast for 2S, brushless too. My metal spur gear is metal, that I'm going to put into it.

@TomleyRC 3 года назад

@roblowrie1969 3 года назад

@@TomleyRC the major issue for the Mauler straight out of the box, is the lack of steering. Cut off the lock stops with a blade, and hey presto, about 10° more steering angle. And the memory foams in the tyres turn to concrete in freezing conditions!! My son has large hair doughnuts in his now, and what a difference!! 👍🏻

@DavidslvPT 2 года назад

Awesome video, thank you! What size LIPO would this take? I have a 1/8th and that takes 3s and 4s, was wondering if they would fit on this model? Thank you!

@DavidslvPT 2 года назад

Answering my own question. It takes 2S, the ESC may take 3S but it's unlikely. Now that I own one, I would have taken out that USB charger and the battery, they are pretty useless, the USB charger never actually got to fully charge the battery, even after leaving it for 12 hours on the wall. I totally recommend getting a nice charger, maybe one that can double charge and get 2-3 batteries, although let the motor cooldown as it get mega hot, at least mine did. My other criticism is that the trasmitter doesn't allow to regulate the amount of throttle, that's a shame as the car is slow to the avid hobbist but super fast for a newcomer. After a week of owning this buggy I guess it's quite okay for the price tag (£109-£119), it is upgradable which is quite fantastic. I'd forget about the upgrades and invest on batteries and charger up front, then think about upgrading that brushed motor and ESC to maybe an Hobbywing + ESC combo and then that transmitter needs to go, in my opinion, but until then you will have plenty of fun, I'm sure.
