FTX Outback Hi-Rock
Brand: FTX
Part No: FTX5587
Shadow Stock: Usually ships next day
The FTX Outback Hi-Rock (part number FTX5587) evolves the proven Outback trail chassis with a host of performance and scale-detail upgrades. A split transmission places the motor and steering servo above the front axle for improved weight bias on ascents, while an increased 45° steering angle boosts tight-trail manoeuvrability. A transmission slipper and internal metal gears add durability for confident crawling.
The reworked chassis layout lowers the centre section to allow interiors, and the moulded side plates feature outer aluminium panels for rigidity with inner panels protecting the electronics. A sealed receiver box offers extra ports for accessories, and the classic pick-up body arrives with moulded details and LED light buckets. Suggested compatibility includes aftermarket interiors, LED light kits, winches and sound modules.
Trail-ready electronics come factory installed, including a 4-channel 2.4GHz radio, Hobbywing HW1040 40A waterproof ESC, 15kg metal-geared waterproof servo and a 550 17T brushed motor. A 7.2V 2000mAh NiMH battery and charger are included to get you moving with 99% Ready-to-Run convenience.

The evolution of the Outback trail chassis hits new heights with the new Hi-Rock edition from FTX. As trail and crawler fans continue to crave both scale performance and scale looks, we have looked to address both with the Hi-Rock.
Featuring a new split transmission, the motor is now mounted directly above the front axle alongside the steering servo providing extra weight up front for better traction when climbing ascents. The steering angle has been increased to a 45° angle for further improved trail maneuverability. An adjustable drivetrain slipper can be set to protect the transmission and driveshafts in the event of a lock up, while internal axle and gearbox metal gears provide long term durability.
The split transmission layout provides a much lower centre section allowing for aftermarket interiors to be mounted for added scale realism. The moulded side chassis plates have aluminium plates on the exterior while the inner plates provide protection from the elements as well as mounting receiver and Hobbywing speed control. The moulded receiver box features additional plug in ports for LED lights and aftermarket winches.
The classic pick-up inspired bodyshell comes complete with moulded accessories such as front grill & LED light buckets, snorkel, mirrors, wipers, roll bar cage and spotlights (for optional LED’s). Front and rear bumpers feature mounted LED lights and tow hooks to top off that scale look.
Take to the trails and raise the bar with the FTX Outback Hi-Rock!
