I don't have any experience with the car, but I can say that you can't go wrong with FTX.

[jtheg]

I like it looks good and solid where it needs to be. Little brushless kit in it and whoosh just like my ion????????????

[wangerman69]

Had a carnage and kept breaking it picked one of these up in my local shop and it did look quite solid

[jtheg]

Got any good pics?

Only whats on CML and FTX's website mate sorry

 

See that Hobbyking does a brushless kit for the scale

 

What did you end up with for gearing in the end ?

still here, havnt had a chance to do anything with all 7 of me rc's hopefully this week though !!!

[wangerman69]

Cool how is the vantage running haven't seen you for a long time

[tezpellet]

yep all good i think, i put my lipos into storage mode and didnt realise that would reflect onto me too, 

 

been to busy with work for anything since end of the summer, the vantage pro is great, the normal vantage is good, i think, the carnage is running although not sure if theres any probs with it ? my mini erevo is driving me nuts, the df02 is still here and i never use it, 

 

so im considering a 1/18th to mess about with on my roof terrace at home as my 1/10's are too big and a 18 would be perfect i think. 

 

so toying with either as you said the Colt, carisma GT14, maverick ion xb, its doing me nut in, may also be fun to get a HPI rs4 for a bit of slidy sideway action.....who knows 

 

hows your motors anyways and have you doen anymore lipos in lately ? 

[wangerman69]

Nah all the lipos are good nearly forgot about my fire am now building up my associated b5m doing a build thread also made a brushless hyper st

Bob is still breaking the cat k1 everytime

The ftx colt looks so sweet want something to quickly bang round the garden as the b4 is not good at it and the hypers are just too big

Hope to see you at the track soon m8

[Alex97]

B4 with hpi firestorm tires is a beast.

[tezpellet]

Will be back at the track very soon. Gonna start charging lipos in the next few days !!!

[wangerman69]

Cool hoping for weekend after next there is meeting this coming weekend

[tezpellet]

Another meeting ? There was one weekend just gone ?

[wangerman69]

Yeah think weekend gone was brushless buggys and truggys this weekend nitro meet gets a bit tedious with all the meets at the moment

[tezpellet]

Was nitro on Saturday when I was there briefly !

[wangerman69]

Not sure but passed them on Sunday and podium was full so Defo a meet going on then. All was quiet so guessing leccy meet on the 1/8 track looked like a good turnout though maybe 50 plus

Saw one in Apex today!

Would suit my littlest girl I'm thinking, she loves rc cars.

[daveyboi73]

Bought one from wheelspin,ripped out stock system and chucked a 6100kv trackstar system.A good cheap and fast little chassis on 2s.Needs 35 wt oil in shocks and an uprated motor mount to help with cooling.The only weak point is the front plastic cvd's and c hubs,but cml will have the alloy ones in stock soon.

ordered mine last night so hopefully wont be long before it arrives. New shell and wing ordered to spray up and also carbon upgrades. Canr wait to bash it.

How's it holding up? I want one for my littlest girl, she's taken an interest in my cars!

Mine arrived and its awesome fun. My daughter lives it as much as i do. Only issue i have is that the tops keep popping off of the shocks under strain.

Hi.Yep its still going strong.I have upgraded the front c hubs and rear bearing holders to the alloy ones and its very robust. If youstick to stock brushed system the cvds will hold,but the extra torque from brushless will break them .One good addition is if you fit the the hex adaptors from the ecx 1/18th range,and i currently have some absima 1/10th slicks fitted for going over the skate park.It has bigger ground clearance,better grip and looks like a mini 1/8th buggy too .

Im having a look for decent shocks that fit,and ill post once ive found some
