FTX FUTURA 1/6 BRUSHLESS 2WD CONCEPT BUGGY READY SET
FTX bring you a glimpse of the future with the Futura 1/6 concept buggy. Modeled on a real design idea, the Futura brings to life how future off road dune buggies may well appear in the years to come. With its radical lines and design cues, the Futura is sure to stand out from the well-trodden paths of traditional looking buggies and trucks.
But enough about its looks. The Futura has a lot more to offer. A hinged roll cage body frame provides easy access to the chassis’ internals where twin moulded race seats provide cover for the twin lipo battery housing along the chassis. The compact mid-motor gearbox design has all metal gears and a slipper to provide maximum durability when harnessing the awesome brushless power.
Up front and hidden way from view under the moulded dashboard you are assisted with the steering by a plug in gyro unit, enabling to control those sideways moments. Big bore aluminium oil filled shocks soak up the bumps, while the thick one-piece 3mm aluminium chassis provides a solid platform for the Futura to perform.
If you like your r/c models big and powerful and have the space to unleash the Futura’s full potential then this is your calling.

Questions & Answers
There are no due dates at the moment on this and spec wise we are unsure till this arrives in the UK.
No sorry it's not possible.
FTX list it as a "Hobbywing WP 160Amp Brushless ESC"
2 x 2S is the recommended max.... 3S may work - but isn't covered under warranty
No, 4S max
We'd estimate around 35mph or so. The focus of this is large size, rather than all out speed.
If you want speed, sticking to 1:10 scale may be a better choice.
Yes, it runs 17mm hexes - those wheels will fit on the rear no problem, on the front the extra width of the wheel means it collides with the wishbone as you apply steering lock; probably okay for a shelf queen, but not for a useable model!
Around 35-40mph or so
This is a much larger car than the Vantage, so will be a great step up for you.
It's oversized, so will be tougher and should also be a bit quicker.
Recommended maximum is 4S (2 x 2S packs)
