wolfie1 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) I dont understand why you would have 2wd with this, it must be a by product of the dig system thinking about it and they have called it a feature? Edited March 22 by wolfie1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 ordered a set of roof bars hopefully will be here soon after the new truck which might be with me by end of week, i think these bars look rather scale as to what might be fitted to the 1:1 Bronco 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 Looking on Youtube at the full size cars seems this RGT/FTX is a near perfect copy of the Ford Bronco Raptor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 My pro runner arrived in Uk March 24 but tracking is saying its still in customs clearing turns out tomr bought the FTX from Modelsport, overall very impressed with it but says body feels a little "flimsy" in places but seems well made and a nice truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ftx seem to have pulled it out of the bag with this one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyd Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Haha, For under £300, I had to get myself one of these 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyd Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) It's an FTX Centaur (Ford Bronco). First thing I did was peel all the stickers off !!!! eta: FTX supply a Green Body-Shell as a spare part in the UK. But green is only RGT imports atm Maybe FTX will eventually release this in green in the UK, via CML Distribution, in the future 🤔 Edited April 6 by abyd 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 @wolfie1 you can see the FWD in video @02:40 then shift back to 4WD, and yes it works out on open ground 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie1 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Wow what a difference! I suppose it would use less battery on 2wd, does it change the turning circle? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 I can only guess that the turning circle would be tighter in 2WD and maybe it would use less battery, incidentally in this pic you can see the home made battery i am using with this truck as it seems just perfect its a Li-Ion 26650 size 2S 4200mah i have a pair of these i made a while back, you can take them down lower than a lipo and so get longer run time out of them plus its less weight than a lipo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
