FTX CARNAGE 1/10 BRUSHLESS TRUCK 4WD RTR W/LIPO & CHARGER
Get ready for some serious off road truggy action with the Brushless Edition FTX Carnage. Taking backyard bashing to a new level, the Carnage Brushless boasts some amazing features for the ultimate ‘Ready-to-Run' experience.
Etronix provide crystal free 2.4ghz control with the EX2 Sport radio. In addition the Etronix Photon sensorless brushless system is installed to provide some low maintenance, high performance speed and power.
Instead of using a NiMh battery, FTX decided to include a Voltz hardcase LiPo battery to get the very best from the Photon system, but with safety in mind included is a balance charger and LiPo charge sack. Infact all you need to add is AA batteries for the transmitter.
The 4wd shaft drivetrain features metal diff gears and front universal driveshafts, while an integrated slipper helps protect the drive from possible damage. With adjustable turn- buckles allround and large bore oil filled shock absorbers the Carnage is raring to go.
In addition if you want to tune and upgrade your Carnage, FTX provide a wide range of car- bon and aluminium upgrades that will bring your ride upto a whole new pro level.

Reviews
The ftx carnage is worth the money, the only thing I don't like about it, is the body, it cracked with in 15 minutes of use, it is poorly made and I am annoyed as I now have to buy another also the front of the body catches on the front springs which is very irritating , this isn't a big issue but the stickers are applied roughly as if they where rushed and the wing at the back has been placed incorrectly these arent major issues but I would have liked them to be a least correct as I payed £194 for this product, this vehicle is perfect for someone who has already had their first beginners rc and are ready to move on to some thing a bit more ** exciting **, I would not recommend you buy this product as your first rc as it is extremely fast and you might end up crashing and breaking it, I am also happy that it included the 3250mah lipo battery and wall charger, this rc is very capable and would get through lots of different terrains including steep hills, mud, rocks, even long grass and much more, the battery takes about 4 hours to charge and you get 20-30 minutes run time (not using full speed for the 20-30 minutes) I'm not sure how fast this goes but by looking at it, it looks like it's going about 40-50 mph , I could be completely wrong but that's how fast I think it goes (lots of fun) the features on this product are very good, strong chassis, good articulation, amazing shocks, good steering, and all the other parts are very strong, I have flipped, crashed, rolled this vehicle and nothing has broken( except for the body) overall I give the ftx carnage a 4-5 stars, if the body was better made I would easily give it a 5 stars this vehicle is truly amazing and lots of fun and not a cheap build (again except for the body)
This was my 1st hobby grade RC car and like the previous reviewer said this was incredibly fast and at 1st difficult to control. 1st day I smashed one of the front shafts and stearing knuckle and broken part of the body shell. Completely my fault for getting over confident and not easing up so my new RC went straight into a metal fence at full throttle. So I ordered the new parts and I must say delivery time of the car and parts was great so hats off to wheelspin. Since the accident I've got better at controlling the carnage and I must say I love it. I'm glad I went with it as I think it's a great kit and considering I broke part of it 1st day the rest of it held up well. I'm sure any RC would of needed repairs after that smash. I'm still using the included battery which gives me about 25 minute of running time. I will say get a hobby grade balance charger as the included one takes around 3 to 4 hours. Like the previous reviewer said I don't recommend that you buy this for a Yong child as a 1st hobby grade RC car but if you do make sure you use it in a wide open field so he can make mistakes without killing his new toy lol. This kit is incredible value and great fun parts are plentiful and cheep. This plus a decent lipo charger and some AAs to get you started will set you back £250 and compared to many more brand name makes that are over£300 just for the RTR kit is great value
my first RC car and i must say its an absolute beast, love it for a first time car, all you got to do is charge the batteries. and away u go, very fast :)

Questions & Answers
They last around 20 + minutes but you can get bigger runtimes like this battery:
We cannot recommend 3s for this as its 2s max but the bigger the mah the more runtime you will get.
That comes with a 3250 7.4v lipo
(the car is 2s lipo maximum)
yes this would be perfect
Yes it will.
On the battery that comes with the car approx 10 - 15 mins depending onhow you drive the car
Sure, we do a range of lighting kits - take a look at https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/c/176/
I just checked with FTX who advise:
"The carnage come with the ET0125 ESC which is 45amp
The Bugsta comes with ET0126 ESC which is 60amp, because of the bigger wheels."
This one includes a brushless motor and ESC, and a LiPo battery and charger (so it's quicker!)
Yes, this includes a LiPo battery and charger.
Yes, spares are all listed on our site - just pop your part number into our site search.
We list a few additional battery options in our combo packs :-)
Whichever you prefer the look of - both are great cars!
Brushless will indeed be quicker than brushed.
For that budget, something like the Carnage Brushless sounds ideal - it's bang on budget, brushless, and pretty tough. Spares and accessories are readily available and very reasonably priced too from FTX.
The only real "oil" you'd need would be a quick spray of GT85 on the bearings after they have been cleaned as part of your usual maintenance.
2S is the recommended maximum
This is electric.... Brushless.
For the nitro version check out FTX5540
The recommended maximum is 2S.
Yes, you could run several cars together without any issue.
No, there is no kit version of this. A similar car available in kit form is the ECX Amp kit ECX03034I
No, these are not advertised as waterproof.
These take a 'standard' sized battery pack. So for example, around 140 x 46 x 25mm
FTX don't quote a top speed, but we estimate around 35-40mph.
