Recommended Posts

FTX5496S - £279.99 RRP Due May


When the roads have been destroyed in a post-apocalyptic world the Rokatan could be the savior as you drive across wasteland in the quest to survive. Ok, it’s a little dramatic for an R/C car, but you are free to let your imagination run away as you think about escaping biker gangs and tyrants with the new 3S powered 4wd Rokatan from FTX.


With a weathered effect matt sand finished V8 inspired muscle car body the moulded centre chassis design, raised for improved ground clearance, along with fully independent suspension enables you to leave the road behind and motor across the wildness with ease.


The Hobbywing brushless speed control and 2500kv motor, coupled with the supplied 3S 3500mAh Lipo battery provides amazing speed for a super driving experience from a model of this size via the 4WD shaft design and front and rear metal geared differentials.


Front and rear shock absorbing bumpers and skid plates, hidden inside the bodyshell provide out of sight protection. Aggressive treaded pattern tyres, wider on the rear for extra traction are mounted to 8-spoke wheels and include a functional spare.


All topped off with an LED roof bar for night-time forays, the Rokatan is ready for you to take on anyone that wants your rig!

It’s a rebranded Helion Dominus 10scv2 

 

Strange choice by FTX? This truck was replaced by the Helion select four 10sc which was then replaced by the Helion Avenge 10sc/10mt. 
The Avenge chassis was great! It’s now rebadged and sold as the Associated MT10 and Pro4 SC10.

The chassis doesn't look too bad and then sitting on top of it is a body that makes a Chinese toy car that has just fallen out of a Christmas cracker look good quality.  The only thing missing is exhaust pipe decals for the body!

Agreed with what's been said above. The body looks awful, but the rest of it might not be too terrible for the price.

Although it is reaching a bit, maybe should be closer to £200. But a 6kg servo in something this size does seem pretty ridiculous.

Hmm, i am in the minority here as i like the look, would i buy it, no though i dont think its terrible value, if the shell was matt black then it reqlly would be Mel Gibsons ride in Mad max, but as said it has some poor area`s so its a no from me

I like it and I like the shell so there 😁 Price is a bit hopeful thought. I would have thought the warranty returns and failure rigmarole onf sticking a 6kg servo in, would make it just as cost effective to stick a 10 or a 15kg waterproof one?

Haha this genuinely looks like something you'd see driving around in Rage 2, a completely-over-the-top, post-apocalyptic shooting & driving game. :lol:

My only question is this: Why another new 4WD platform? You've recently released the Zorro Brushless 4WD SCT! Surely that's the perfect platform??

What is it with FTX and putting holes in the chassis around the motor or servo or any other bit of electronics? Do they like bits of gravel flying in and destroying parts? I guess it keeps the spares/repairs trade booming.

Hi I think it looks mean an i agree in matt black would look the dogs dangles . 

But all them screws at the front wow that got to be a braking  point there . Does it come with alloy chassis or carbon might be stronger . .
