FTX 1/10th scale Kanyon Mountain Rescue Edition 2-Speed RTR

Interesting update on the old model, often considered getting a Kanyon but its not without its faults, body shell is very weak and mounting points needs beefing up, also its huge being more like 1/8th, and no choice of other body shells

It’s very true……you can’t polish a turd!

then the very best of luck to each and everyone of them, my opinion still stands though

Mythbusters say otherwise 😆

I quite fancy one of these,  having bought a standard Kanyon and the DF-4J '10 Year Edition' in 2020, same chassis at the Kanyon Mountain Rescue,

Kanyon + 2 speed gearbox + winch.

 

Will still need that alloy angle brace mod doing so the mounts dont collapse on the first outing.

 

Under no illusions here, lipstick on a pig is still a pig with lipstick on it.

 

But I kind of like my 2

missed 'and' out

Why not mate if you like em and they fill your needs then go for it 

They do the work I need them todo  fast trail running on the flat mainly, my Kanyon is running an Absima A10 brushless, outlaw open diffs in both, RC4WD copy twin motor winch for nose weight, alloy chassis rails mod on both, Steel pinions in both, DF-4J runs a 1080 and a Surpass 5 slot 550 12 turn, both are a blast just on 2S, sitting lowish on soft springs and they look box stock other than that but go really well and cruise at walking pace very nicely.
