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!
