1 x FTX Tracer Brushless / Slyder Turbo 2S LiPo 1000mAh - Deans
FTX9791

Saves £12.59 over RRP

The FTX Tracer Brushless 1:16 MT (FTX5596) is a 4WD RTR monster truck designed for small-scale thrills. Powered by a 3800kv brushless motor and a 7.4v 1000mAh 2S LiPo battery, it delivers punchy acceleration that makes full use of the rear-mounted wheelie bar. Metal rear dogbones and new rear upper suspension links enhance durability under power, while low-friction ball bearings help everything spin smoothly.

A 2.4GHz radio system with up to 100m range provides confident control. The splashproof ESC/receiver unit and 1kg-rated servo add all-weather reassurance. Suspension is handled by coil-sprung shocks with multiple mounting points and double wishbones, complemented by front CVA driveshafts for efficient power delivery while steering. Shaft-driven 4WD with front and rear geared differentials keeps traction consistent across mixed surfaces, and plug-in front LED lights add visibility. A detailed off-road bodyshell, oversized wheels and block-pattern tyres round out the package, with a wide range of options available for further upgrades.

FTX TRACER 1/16 4WD BRUSHLESS MONSTER TRUCK RTR

There is no doubt that the Tracer has been a huge hit with enthusiasts new to R/C cars... but there is always that little bit more excitement to be gained, and we have upped the specification on the monster truck to bring you a brushless version for some real small-scale thrills and spills!

With a 3800kv brushless motor hooked up to a 7.4v 1000mAh 2S lipo battery the Tracer brushless really puts to use its rear mounted wheelie bar. Metal rear dogbones are included for extra durability along with new rear upper suspension links for added reliability under power.

A new 100m range radio is provided to help control those longer speed runs and as with the brushed version, the Tracer brushless edition features coil sprung shock absorbers with multiple mounting points, double wishbone suspension and front universal driveshafts for smooth suspension movement while steering through the rough stuff. Shaft driven 4WD and with geared differentials front and rear provide traction in all conditions.

Plug in front bumper LED lights are included and there is a wide selection of aftermarket options to further up spec your truck to new levels!

Amazing little car. Powerful enough for adults and the speed is adjustable enough for young children to enjoy as well. The team at Wheelspin are very helpful and not pushy with sales, which is a bonus. Brilliant

How fast can i make this go if i put a 6s lipo conversion in it
Joseph / 14th June 2025

You cannot convert these to be quicker , you cannot get 6s systems this size nor would you get a 6s battery in the vehicle.

Steve @ Wheelspin Models

Catherine / 12th August 2024

How long is the run time and how long does it take to charge? Thanks

Does this brushless model also feature a speed limiter switch on the radio to make it easier for beginners to control? Thanks.
Ben / 13th November 2023

Yes this has a throttle limiter.

Steve @ Wheelspin Models

Daniel / 22nd July 2023

Yes this will work well for a beginner truck

Si @ Wheelspin Models
Hi, I recently purchased a FTX Tracer Brushless 1/16th, is it possible to run this with a NIMH battery? And if so which one would be suitable please?
Andy / 2nd July 2023

These will use a li-ion battery,  this will work for you FTX9736  but you would then need to check you have the correct charger for this battery too.

 

 

Si @ Wheelspin Models
Does this contain absolutely everything that's needed to run? Ie. Transmitter, batteries, charger etc?
Tom O / 13th May 2023

Yes everything apart from AA batteries for the handset.

Steve @ Wheelspin Models
Your websites saying this car is brushless? But that battery is brushed ?
Rob Ward / 9th December 2022

Yes this car is Brushless, the battery you would need is  # FTX9791  but all of the brushed batteries would work with this car

Si @ Wheelspin Models
Can you use more mah batteries for this like 5000mah ?
Rob Ward / 9th December 2022

No the maximum you will fit in that vehicle is the 1300 mah here:

FTX9789
