Ftx vantage?

[Gyp1981]

After a bit of thought, I am edging towards getting a FTX vantage. Have looked on YouTube and it looks really fast. Is it any good?

few people on here have them and seem to like them, do a search as there's a fair few threads on them.

I have Been looking at buying one ,and I've only found one bad review saying that they broke the wishbone after driving it a few times

It all depends on how you drive it. I've had mine since the beginning of the year, and so far so good.

It's been bounced up kerbs, cartwheeling after jumps, and it still goes.

Ok, how fast would you say the vantage is? If you have the brushless model, no extra mods?

For the price, I really can't knock the FTX Vantage and Carnage (share same basic platform (Carnage A-arms, shafts and chassis longer)). Parts are cheap as chips and readily available. Had my Vantage Pro at 33mph (iphone GPS) on 2S lipo and Etronix 9T motor. If your really rough, you WILL break items but that's pretty much the same with anything at this price point. As a starter car, it's more advanced than a Tamiya but less than say Traxxas / HPI / Hobao.

Stock up on a few drive CVD shafts, suspension mounts and you're away.

Un modified, you'll probably see 25mph ish maybe a little higher as I had different pinion and road tyres.
