Great vehicle :P If you are looking to start out with RC then this is for you because this car has 2 cousins and they can share their parts so its good for customisation to . With my car iIcurrently have a vantage main but installed carnage body posts and bumper and a bugsta body . The parts are fairly cheap so don't worry drive full throttle also they offer upgrade parts from stronger materials . All in all i highly recommend this car to anyone

This is a fun piece of kit. I got it for my 8 year old daughter. She absolutely loves it!! It comes pretty much ready to drive. I highly recommend the battery and charger add on pack too. You’ll defo want two batteries as a minimum to get the most fun out of this. As a side note, the website is really easy to navigate and the add in packages are a nice touch. The guys are also very responsive with regards to enquiries/customer service emails. 10/10 would use Wheel spin again.

Hi can I use lipo batteries with the ESC that comes Installed in the vantage?
Dave / 8th August 2021

Yes, just be sure to select LiPo mode on the ESC

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Is this built already or has to be assembled on arrival? Thanks
David / 1st February 2021

These are pre built

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
What would be a good motor & esc combo for a brushless conversion on 3s LiPo?
Andrew C / 5th November 2020

Something like HW38010203 would work well

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
can you use any 7.2v battery with tamiya connectors
Shaun Joyce / 27th October 2020

Yes that should work fine

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Hi, Is it possible to upgrade the brushed motor to brushless?
Tim Clement / 30th August 2020

Yes, you can do that.

 

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
I’ve read that this model is compatible with both NiMH and LiPo batteries. If I were to upgrade to a 2c 7.4v LiPo - which connector would the battery need?
Jo / 11th July 2020

Yes you can run NiMh or 2S LiPo.

The car has tamiya connectors

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Can u ship electronics to ireland?
Francis / 26th November 2019

Yes we ship all over the world.

Anthony @ Wheelspin Models
Is this suitable for a 9 year old and also can it be used on wet sand/beaches?
Nigel Allcock / 12th December 2017

With adult supervision it should be fine.

This now includes a waterproof ESC, so should be fine in damp conditions - please note running in wet/sandy conditions will require additional maintenance however.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
If I buy the battery upgrade (fast charger and higher cpacity) do I still get the original too?
Andy / 9th June 2017

Yes, the original battery remains included with the car.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Could you tell how long battery will run for and how long it takes to charge?
Jason Goodhead / 12th November 2016

The stock battery should last around 10-15 minutes or so depending on how you drive.

Charge time with the included charger is around 5-6 hours.  However, we do list several combo packs with faster chargers (under 1 hour charge time) and longer lasting batteries (up to around 30 mins runtime).

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Could you please tell me the speed of the FTX vantage brushed?
Kelly Edwards / 10th October 2016

Speed isn't quoted for these, but we'd estimate around 20-25mph.
