    FTX Outback 2 RTR Trail Vehicle - Ranger 2

    As an affordable, entry level scale crawler the FTX Outback has been hugely popular, introducing lots of new enthusiasts into the world of scale r/c. Moving forward we have updated the chassis with some subtle design changes and updates to further enhance the performance: Outback 2.
    New updated front and rear axle housings have been widened increasing the track width by 15mm for an improved handling and reduced wheel scrub.  A higher torque and larger 390 size brushed motor now handles the power, while new 4-point nickel-plated suspension and steering links provide more precise articulation and steering. The oil filled shock absorbers have now been moved outboard for more scale realism and handling improvements. A new servo mount from aluminium provides scope for different servo options.
    The Treka edition has been updated with chrome dish scale wheels, while the Ranger edition enjoys a new updated body design featuring matt finished wheel arches and front bonnet detail.
    All models are Ready-toRun with 1500mAH NiMh battery and just require AA’s for the transmitter to be ready to crawl. If you missed out on the original Outback, then don’t pass up this opportunity, your outdoor off road experience is waiting.

    Nice to see they've opted for steel  (at least looking) steering links on this update. 

    The Mk1 plastic links were as much use as a chocolate teapot!

    had to make my own in the end. 

    The whole package looks like a nice progression from the earlier model. 

    Better looking body too.

    Price has crept up too - I wonder if it's close enough to the new SCA-1 from Carisma that it'll miss out.

    Those axles look to have some good clearance.

    Not sure about all these toy grade looking Landy bodies though :rolleyes:

     

    Hey Dan, could be worse mate, could be another ugly jeep :whistling: :rofl:

    £119.99 isn’t too bad, at least you don’t get the esc/rx in one which is crap anyway, plus you get to choose your own colour scheme too.

     

    overall I think it offers better value for money than the rtr if it’s not your first Rc

    The Jeeps actually look like Jeeps though lol, I'm a Landy fan, but they just don't look right at all to me :mellow:
