FTX Crossbow 1/10 Brushless Truggy: Because Your Garden Isn't Going to Ruin Itself

Look, we know how this goes. You’re sitting there, tea in hand, staring at a patch of grass that looks suspiciously peaceful. You need the FTX Crossbow. It’s a 1/10 scale brushless truggy designed for people who think 'moderate speed' is an insult. Borrowing the best bits from the Ramraider and Apache—because why reinvent the wheel when you can just make it go faster?—this blue beast is ready to turn your local park into a high-velocity obstacle course. We’ve even upgraded the chassis to fit different LiPo sizes, because we know you have a drawer full of batteries you probably shouldn't be using anymore.

Why You Want It

You want it because it’s fast. Like, 'the neighbors are going to write a sternly worded letter to the council' fast. With a Hobbywing-powered heart and a 3S battery included in the box, the Crossbow hits that sweet spot between 'controlled flight' and 'unplanned disassembly.' It’s built to take a beating with reinforced lower arms and aluminium skid plates, because let’s face it, your driving skills aren't exactly Formula 1 grade. It’s okay, we’re not judging. We’re just here to sell you the parts when you inevitably find the only tree in a five-mile radius.

Specs

• Motor: Etronix 3652 KV2500 Brushless (The part that makes the Vroom-Vroom sounds).
• ESC: Hobbywing 60A Waterproof (The brains of the operation; don't try to use it as a submarine).
• Battery: Voltz 3S 30C 3500mAh LiPo (High-voltage juice included).
• Radio System: Etronix 2.4ghz (So you don't accidentally drive someone else's car into a pond).
• Servo: Etronix 6kg Digital Waterproof Steering (For when you need to turn... eventually).
• Shock Absorbers: Aluminium Oil-Filled Big Bore (Finished in blue to match your inevitable bruises).
• Chassis: Composite Tub with 6061 T6 Aluminium Skid Plates (Protects the bits that matter).
• Dimensions: 565mm x 300mm x 220mm (Big enough to look cool, small enough to fit in the boot of a Corsa).
• Wheelbase: 328mm (Stability is key when you're out of control).

In the Box

• FTX Crossbow Brushless Truggy
• Transmitter: 2.4ghz Steerwheel
• Charger: 2S/3S Balance Charger
• Battery: 3500 11.1v 3S LiPo

Compatibility

Ready to run out of the box, though you’ll need 4x AA batteries for the transmitter. If you don't have those in your kitchen junk drawer, are you even an adult? Compatible with most 2S and 3S LiPo packs thanks to the updated chassis spacing.

Highlights

• Brushless Power: Hobbywing reliability means less time soldering and more time bashing.
• Roof Light Bar: Because crashing in the dark is a whole different aesthetic.
• Reinforced Suspension: Pivot ball front end and reinforced arms for when gravity wins.
• Full Length Brace: A metal spine for the car, because it’s going to need one.

Notes

This is a high-performance RC vehicle. It is not a toy for toddlers, and it is definitely not a footstool. Keep your fingers away from the gears unless you want a very permanent manicure.

Still Here?

If you're still reading this, you're clearly the type of person who reads the terms and conditions. Stop over-analyzing the pivot ball suspension and just buy the thing. You know you want to see if it can clear that hedge. UK stock, fast shipping, and more fun than a barrel of brushless motors. Get it while it’s blue.
