Description
FTX Tracer 1/16 4WD Brushless Electro Monster Truck RTR – Yellow
There's no doubt the FTX Tracer has been a huge hit in recent years. FTX is now releasing this FTX Tracer brushless version! This version comes equipped with a 3800kV brushless motor, brushless controller, and a powerful 7.4V 1000mAh 2S lipo battery!
Besides the 3800kV brushless motor, brushless controller, and 7.4V 1000mAh 2S lipo battery, the FTX Tracer 1/16 brushless monster truck features several other upgrades. For example, the model comes standard with steel driveshafts for added durability, reinforced suspension points, and a standard wheelie bar. The model can reach a speed of approximately 50 km/h (31 mph) instead of the standard 30 km/h (19 mph) of the FTX Tracer 1/16 brushed version.
A new transmitter with a 100-meter range is included with the brushless version, allowing you to easily cover the long distances you'll definitely need at 50 km/h. Adjustable shock absorbers with multiple mounting points, double wishbone suspension, and four-wheel drive make this monster truck the best of its kind!
Plug-in front bumper LED lighting is included, and a wide selection of tuning parts, batteries, and bodies are available to take your truck to the next level!

After racing with two FTX Tracers for a year, we can give them a good assessment. The quality is certainly not bad; they ride fast, steer well, and you can make some nice maneuvers with them. However, I find the durability to be mediocre. Several screws have already vibrated loose, and it's hard to find them in the sand. In addition, two shock absorbers have already broken, which, it turns out, isn't covered by the warranty. So, we ordered and installed more expensive (and better) oil-sprung shock absorbers.
Now, after a year, the steering servo in one of the cars is defective.
I'm curious about what the warranty terms say about this. Next time, I'll buy a better quality one.
