But the top-tier RC rock crawlers undergo development testing almost as vigorous as that of any full-size off-road vehicle. Pay in 3 is a form of credit, may not be suitable for everyone and use may affect your credit score. years ago I would have told people to stay away from FTX, but now I say go for it, they just need to step up there game with the build quality of there ESC's now. Granted, it mostly employs plastic where others may use metal but nothing has gone awry, which is quite surprising.

There is substance where it ought to be: a twin-rail-style chassis, oil-filled shock absorbers, four-link suspension front and rear, waterproof components, beadlock wheels, and a pair of decent steering servos and motors. And the central lower half of the motor/diff housing is removable, presumably for servicing or repairs/replacement.

However, it embarrassed the much more expensive models on the rock climbing wall by being the first one to scrabble its way to the top.

In addition, the Ravine is fitted with two steering servos, back and front for a loads of different steering options. Utterly caked in mud, the Ravine looked so triumphant and pleased with itself, much like a Jack Russell would after a mud bath. If you’ve had enough of staring at a screen playing racing games but still want to indulge your passion for driving, consider this specialised line of remote-control vehicles known as rock crawlers. The FTX Ravine R/C Rock Buggy Crawler gobbles up challenging terrain like it’s a box of movie popcorn… done before the film even starts! The rock crawlers with more realistic bodies (including the officially licensed Traxxas TRX-4 Bronco) could not afford to be so cavalier because their taller bodies made them less stable.

There’s no question that its relative value made it all the more impressive; but even so, the angles of articulation, the steering modes, the amazing approach angles, these all came together in harmonic unison to allow the Ravine to dance up and down the gnarly slope until the battery ran flat.

Topped off with a tubu-lar rollcaged body and interior set, the FTX Ravine is ready for you to go climbing!

Please Note: This kit is sold in RTR (Ready-to-run) format but requires 3 x AA Batteries for completion. Relatively cheap and deliberately daft can set an excellent foundation for a vehicle, as long as it’s still made properly. Like, the FTX Outback 2, the Ravine is great for beginners because of its ease of use and value, but doesn’t skimp on quality. The FTX Ravine is indeed a buggy in shape compared to the mini-doppelganger crawlers, but it’s still hugely capable of dealing with the rough stuff, particularly given the value for money.
