Reviews
You get what you pay for - and sometimes a bit more. Don't expect the Kanyon to rival a TRX4's chassis ability, and don't expect a Hobao DC1's quality presentation, but this does a great job for it's price. Wide wheelbase and low centre of gravity has meant on several Dartmoor tracks this has performed far better than expected. Good rig, but do brace that floppy rear panel.
Absolutely amazing model. My 9 year old son bought this with his gift morning money and has driven it everyday. I want one. He very rarely lets me have a go!!! A battery upgrade is a must is it very Hungary but puts the power to very good use. I'm saving to get my own!
We did some homework on this model after my son showed real interest in it. We did the rail mod to support the body mounts, the gaffa tape inside the body and the sponge support inside the rear for the back door and spare tyre. The battery is a bit of a weak point but the model is unbelievably capable and deals with pretty much anything you can throw at it!! Excellent entry level model. We love it.
What a fantastic piece of kit, the ftx Kanyon Crawler, really is. If your thinking of getting a big crawler you won't go far wrong with the ftx anytime at all.
Very good model, my first crawler. Excellent service and communication from Wheelspin when I thought they hadn't sent the battery, was still in the box.
Bought this for my daughter who’s very happy with it thanks and fast shipping !!!!
Fantastic service, fast postage, excellently packaged, good price, very clear website will definitely buy from you again
Absolutely fantastic product and service, really appreciated. Will shop again
Can you replace/upgrade most of the parts on this car ? Just wondering in case anything gets broken and needs replacing or in the future i might want to upgrade a part .
A lot of bang for your buck with this crawler. As an entry level crawler it is great value and with loads of upgrading/aftermarket parts options, and plenty of videos online on how to strengthen the chassis/shell and other upgrades, you can steadily improve it further over time to be a fantastic rig. Buy it, you won't regret it.
