THIS ITEM IS DISCONTINUED AND NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
PLEASE SEE ITEM #FTX5533B AS A REPLACEMENT
The FTX Vantage Brushed (FTX5528) delivers race-inspired styling at an entry-level price. This 1/10 scale 4WD buggy arrives ready to run with an Etronix 2.4GHz Sportradio system, a waterproof 550 brushed motor and 20A speed controller, plus a Voltz 1800mAh 7.2V NiMH battery and wall charger—just add AA batteries.
A robust shaft-driven drivetrain with an integrated slipper clutch helps protect against shocks, while metal crown and pinion gears and front universal driveshafts add durability. Handling is dialled in via big bore oil-filled shocks, adjustable turnbuckles and fully tuneable suspension geometry. A moulded tub chassis, low-profile pre-painted bodyshell and a unique low centre-of-gravity gearbox contribute to confident off-road performance.

Reviews
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.

Yes, you can do that.
Yes you can run NiMh or 2S LiPo.

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.
Yes, the original battery remains included with the car.
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).
Speed isn't quoted for these, but we'd estimate around 20-25mph.
