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!

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'.
Asked by Kennie on 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!

No. Recommended maximum is 2S on these.

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
Asked by Nathan Hartnell on 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!

Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models

How fast does the ftx vantage go with a 3s lipo and are there any other fast affordable cars
Asked by George Margetts on 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.

Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models

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

Answered by: Si @ 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
Asked by Cameron on 24th July 2022

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