FTX COMET 1/12 BRUSHED DESERT CAGE BUGGY 2WD READY-TO-RUN

Small, yet perfectly formed the new Comet 1:12 range from FTX is the perect introduction to the fun and excitement of radio controlled off-road cars. Limited budgets and size restrictions will become an afterthought when you review the Comet range. Infact your biggest challenge will be which version to choose from the four different editions available.

Centred on a tried and tested industry standard 2wd chassis platform, the Comet is a hobby grade design at an entry-level price point. Features such as oil filled shock absorbers, ball bearings, double wishbone suspension, bevel geared differential, 3-gear transmission and moulded tub chassis are all inspired by high performance racecars to help provide you with the perfect introduction to r/c cars.

The tub chassis design can accommodate the use of either a rear motor or mid-motor set-up depending on the vehicle. The Truggy, Monster Truck and Desert Buggy all coming factory assembled in mid-motor format, while the buggy arrives as a traditional rear motor set-up. End users can convert the motor placement if they wish at a later date to further expand performance possibilities.

Factory fitted 2.4ghz radio system and 2-in-1 speed control provide easy set-up and drivability from the box once the Li-Ion battery has been charged.

Want to upgrade? The simple moulded tub chassis design can accom-modate standard size steering servos and mini brushless systems easily, providing your Comet with a new injection of performance should you wish to go for it.

So what are you waiting for, get yourself a Comet before it hits!

Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models

Hi, I am looking for a durable started off road car for an 8 year old boy. I have been looking at the FXT COMET 1:12 at £64 - do you think this is a suitable choice and do you have any other suggestions to look at as introductory,durable models . I would need to purchase the car with remote control, battery charger and a spare battery . Thank you for your advice ,Carsten
Asked by Carsten Soborg on 12th June 2021

These are a great entry level choice at that kind of budget.

They include remote control, battery, charger etc so are a good 'all in one' solution at a low price point

Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models

hi, I've got into RC cars recently and I have been looking at buggies and I thought of this. so I just wanted to know how durable it is. I have had a Traxxas slash and its really good so I was wondering if this would be any good on dirt and gravel. thank you.
Asked by Bat on 3rd January 2023

This is a budget range car and is not to be compared with traxxas or other high end brands, it's definately a good starter car though.
