Could you please tell me the speed of the FTX vantage brushed?
Asked by Kelly Edwards on 10th October 2016
Speed isn't quoted for these, but we'd estimate around 20-25mph.

Could you tell how long battery will run for and how long it takes to charge?
Asked by Jason Goodhead on 12th November 2016
The stock battery should last around 10-15 minutes or so depending on how you drive.
Charge time with the included charger is around 5-6 hours. However, we do list several combo packs with faster chargers (under 1 hour charge time) and longer lasting batteries (up to around 30 mins runtime).
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
If I buy the battery upgrade (fast charger and higher cpacity) do I still get the original too?
Asked by Andy on 9th June 2017
Yes, the original battery remains included with the car.
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Is this suitable for a 9 year old and also can it be used on wet sand/beaches?
Asked by Nigel Allcock on 12th December 2017
With adult supervision it should be fine.
This now includes a waterproof ESC, so should be fine in damp conditions - please note running in wet/sandy conditions will require additional maintenance however.

The car has tamiya connectors
