Building on a proven platform, this updated edition adds a 60A waterproof ESC, Etronix 2.4GHz radio and chrome-plated wheels, along with a fresh body scheme. With a robust 4WD shaft drive, low centre of gravity gearbox design and fully adjustable suspension, the Carnage 2.0 delivers confident off-road performance and straightforward maintenance. Supplied with a Voltz 1800mAh 7.2V NiMH battery and wall charger, it’s an accessible way to get running, with electronics and chassis that accept either NiMH or LiPo power.

Durable moulded components, big bore oil-filled shocks and a drivetrain protected by a slipper system help the Carnage 2.0 handle rough terrain while staying beginner-friendly. The inclusion of metal crown and pinion gears, front universals and adjustable turnbuckles further enhances reliability and tuneability. Part number FTX5537 from FTX continues the Carnage legacy with a capable, value-conscious off-road package.

A little slow, due to the brushed motor, and definitly entry level. It is worth the extra money to upgrade to the brushless or the vantage. The transmitter is quite high quality compared to most stock ones that come with the car. The front bumper breaks VERY easily, but they are easy and cheap to replace and will protect the rest of the car. If I was to be in the same position again, I would pay the extra for a mid-range level car, from arrma or traxxas. Overall, a good car for the price with a high quality transmitter but a little on the slow side for enthusiast or regular users.

Daniel / 1st July 2023

Yes this is a good entry level car

Si @ Wheelspin Models
is the FTX Carnage any good
Daniel / 12th May 2023

Yes it is a good car.

Steve @ Wheelspin Models
Thinking of buying a carnage for my son can I run this on a 2s battery ? If not can you recommend the next best model up similar to this around the £150 mark please ! We already have a Arrma with 2s batteries many thanks Neil
Neil Moore / 5th November 2022

Yes this will run a 2s lipo however it will put a bit more strain on the electronics. The Arrma Boost range are a greta option however they are a little more. 

Frank @ Wheelspin Models
How long will this car run for approximately on the upgraded batter you offer in the pro spec twin battery package. Thanks
Ashley Shek / 12th September 2022

On the batteries in that pack it would run for approx 15- 25 mins per battery, depending on how its driven

Si @ Wheelspin Models
Is there a light kit that can work with this car?
Robin Teague / 21st July 2022

There is no specific light kit for this car but you could make these work.

FAST199W  for the front    and FAST199R  for the rear

Si @ Wheelspin Models
Hi what upgrades can I do to make this faster and over all better Thanks Henry
Henry / 25th March 2022

There are several options to do this, the most popular one is to fit a brushless motor and ESC.  something like ET0420

Si @ Wheelspin Models
what is the pinion sized gaer already fitted stock
Dylan / 4th March 2022

This has a 17 tooth pinion fitted as standard FTX6335

Si @ Wheelspin Models
£119 does this include battery and the charger!
Gregg / 3rd October 2021

Yes its does come complete , although its a slow overnight charger so can take 8 - 10 hours for a battery to fully charge.
