Get ready for some serious off road buggy action with the Brushless Edition FTX Vantage. Taking RTR styling to a competition level, the Vantage brushless boasts some amazing features for the ultimate ‘Ready-to-Run experience.

Etronix provide crystal free 2.4ghz control with the EX2 Sport radio. In addition the Etronix Photon sensorless brushless system is installed to provide some low maintenance, high performance speed and power. 

Instead of using a NiMh battery, FTX decided to include a Voltz hardcase LiPo battery to get the very best from the Photon system, but with safety
in-mind included is a balance charger and LiPo charge sack. Infact all you need to add is AA batteries for the transmitter.

The 4wd shaft drivetrain features metal diff gears and front universal driveshafts, while an integrated slipper helps protect the drive from possible damage. With adjustable turnbuckles all round and large bore oil filled shock absorbers the Vantage is raring to go.

In addition if you want to tune and upgrade your Vantage, FTX provide a wide range of carbon and aluminium upgrades that will bring your ride up to a whole new pro level.

I bought one of these RC cars just about over a year ago, it still works great! It's taken a lot of bumps and survived a few accidental large puddles, I would buy again if I needed to! If you buy one of these, check the main drive shaft as I did not realise it was cable tied at first.

8th January 2023

Perfect car for a beginner. Fun and highly customizable, and upgradeable. Recently, I have been able to get mine to 43mph, with a few upgrades. I have given it hell, and yes, plastic parts have brutally broken and snapped, but with the carbon fibre and aluminium upgrades, I haven't broken a thing!

Steve W @ Wheelspin Models
I just bought the fx vantage brushless, does the esc need calibrating or is it ready to go out of the box ? as it seems a bit slow , wondering if throttle end points need setting , thanks
Cameron / 24th July 2022

This should be set out of the box, but you could follow the instructions and try recalibrating if you wanted too.

Si @ Wheelspin Models
How long does it run on the stock battery and how long does it take for the batteries to charge on the included charger in the pro bundle ?
Joshua / 5th March 2022

The stock battery will last for about 15 - 20 mins depending on how it is driven, the better charger on the pro combo pack will take 1 hour to charge a battery

Si @ Wheelspin Models
Can you confirm the battery that come with this model please? I have seen it listed on a different website with a larger battery in the box, thanks
Elliot / 16th August 2021

Just confirmed, it's a 3250mah lipo these come with. Our description now updated

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Hi there what is the top speed of the ftx vantage brush less please
Carl / 4th December 2020

Not quoted, but we'd estimate around 40mph or so

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
What oil do the shocks need?
Scott / 13th October 2020

Any decent shock oil would work well - we like for example TLR74006

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Ftx vantage Brushless, you say 60amp ESC,others say 45amp,? Please can you confirm its correct please.
Adrian Lucking / 16th January 2020

Descirption updated - it's a 45A ESC

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
How long do I charge it for?
Ethan Hulme / 24th November 2019

The included battery and charger will charge in around 3-4 hours.

We do offer faster chargers and higher capacity batteries in our combos which can be charged in around 45-50 minutes.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
How fast does the ftx vantage go with a 3s lipo and are there any other fast affordable cars
George Margetts / 2nd June 2019

We'd recommend 2S max on this, which would give a top speed of around 40mph or so.

We have a huge range, what kind of budget are you looking at? For the money - these are great value for money.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Hi am interested in the FTX vantage brushless Does it come with a battery? And if I buy the additional sports pack will it come with another battery Thankyou
Nathan Hartnell / 19th November 2018

Yes, these come with a 2S LiPo in the box.

If you add one of our combo packs, the original battery is still there, so you will have additional packs for extra runtime!

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
can you put a 6S 22 volt 50c deans battery pack into it to make it faster
Fenton Birch / 7th September 2018

No. Recommended maximum is 2S on these.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
How quick actually is this?
Dave Leppard / 24th July 2018

We'd estimate around 40mph - but FTX don't quote an official top speed.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Hi, can I run a 3s LiPo on this Thanks
Dave / 17th February 2018

FTX recommend 2S maximum.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
What are the dimenh sions of the battery holder ( biggest size battery I can fit in the car
William Hill / 28th November 2017

This is designed for 'standard size' stick packs, so most 7.4v stick packs for example will fit.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
What is the top speed with the battery provided
Jimmy Smith / 25th November 2017

Around 40mph on the stock LiPo battery

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
what is the top speed with the DYN9001D battery
Matthew / 22nd November 2017

On a 2S LiPo we'd estimate top speed will be around 40mph.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
How fast?
Nathan / 5th August 2017

Around 40mph or so.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Hi, I am trying to find a full kit to build myself, but it needs to include all the parts needed (except AA batteries). I don't want a pre-built one. Do you sell these as they all say 'comes complete'.
Kennie / 6th September 2016

This particular model (and most we sell) is RTR (Ready to Run) so is pre-assembled.

We do sell build kits, and can put together a package for you - it may be best to drop our team a quick email and we'll be happy to help!
