The FTX Carnage NT (FTX5540) brings nitro power to the proven Carnage platform in a ready-to-run 1/10 4WD truck. Factory assembled and radio-equipped, it pairs a FORCE .18 pull-start engine with a shaft-driven 4WD transmission and a unique low-CG gearbox layout. Metal crown and pinion gears, front universal driveshafts and front/rear geared differentials support reliable power delivery, while big-bore oil-filled shocks and fully adjustable suspension help you dial in handling. Blue anodised aluminium chassis parts, front and rear chassis braces and lightweight high-impact suspension arms round out a durable package for off-road use. Control is via an Etronix EX2 Sport 2.4GHz crystal-free radio, with a 3kg steering and throttle servo featuring a heatsink body housed in a radio box. The pre-painted, low-profile bodyshell completes the race-inspired look.

Reviews
Good nitro for the price, fired up on tried pull, shifts like they meant to, shame driver couldn’t keep up and broke it 5 hours after delivery, delivery was spot on and guys at wheelspin models are legends. Highly recommended shop for all your rc needs
Great service ordered late Sunday eve got an email by 10am on Monday saying it was shipped and it came Tuesday . And what looks like a great car thank you so much my only little moan is the hump pack I got had no instructions on how long to charge for with the supplied plug
Bloke in shop said don't bother with nitro - electric is easier; but easy enough to get going if you read the manual and have some patience. Great fun but suspension tower broke within an hour driving on a football field so get some spares when you buy. Have ordered carbon which hopefully lasts a bit longer. Would give 5 if it wasn't for such a frustratingly weak part.
