FTX Rokatan 1/10 Brushless Off Road RTR

Chassis looks good, reminds me of a Slash 4x4.

 

Bodyshell will be swapped straight away though, lol.

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.

I’m a bit of a FTX fan with there chip and cheerful attitude but this is a step too far on the cheap and not so cheap at that 🤮

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.

Dunno whats going on above? 😅

 

That gear cover looks a bit dodgy to me, and theres A LOT of screws holding that metal plate on underneath?

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. 

 

 

 

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??

I quite like the Mad Max looks too. It even has LEDs for post apocalyptic driving at night. Agree they need to knock £100 off the price though.

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 . .
