FTX CARNAGE 1/10 BRUSHLESS TRUCK 4WD RTR W/LIPO & CHARGER

Get ready for some serious off road truggy action with the Brushless Edition FTX Carnage. Taking backyard bashing to a new level, the Carnage 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 turn- buckles allround and large bore oil filled shock absorbers the Carnage is raring to go.

In addition if you want to tune and upgrade your Carnage, FTX provide a wide range of car- bon and aluminium upgrades that will bring your ride upto a whole new pro level.

What is the maximum battery size that would fit in this car? e.g. W x H x L

These take a 'standard' sized battery pack. So for example, around 140 x 46 x 25mm

Is oil needed for this car if so what type and were dose it go,
Asked by Jack on 6th November 2019

The only real "oil" you'd need would be a quick spray of GT85 on the bearings after they have been cleaned as part of your usual maintenance. 

Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models

Hello, Im looking to buy a RC car for my son for Christmas. My budget is between £150 - £200 and I'm looking for some advice on the best buy. My son is 12 and its his first RC car so ideally needs to be quite robust. Hell probably be mainly running the car on grass/dirt. Ive also read that brushless models are the fastest so I'd also probably be looking for this as part of the spec. Can you recommend a suitable model? Many thanks Stephen
Asked by Stephen Martindale on 10th December 2019

Brushless will indeed be quicker than brushed.

For that budget, something like the Carnage Brushless sounds ideal - it's bang on budget, brushless, and pretty tough.  Spares and accessories are readily available and very reasonably priced too from FTX.

Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models

FTX Carnage brushless or FTX Outlaw brushless?
Asked by James on 27th June 2020

Whichever you prefer the look of - both are great cars!

Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models

does this car (FTX5543) come with the battery and charger included in the price? Are spare parts for the car readily available ? How much would a second battery cost pls?
Asked by Stephen Pessall on 7th August 2020

Yes, this includes a LiPo battery and charger.

Yes, spares are all listed on our site - just pop your part number into our site search.

We list a few additional battery options in our combo packs :-)

Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models

Hi bought this car from you and want another battery can you recommend one that works with the included charger thanks
Asked by Chris on 6th December 2020

An ideal 2S LiPo would be say PEK00545 or VZ0317

Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models

What is the difference between this and the FTX carnage 2.0, apart from £80
Asked by Chris Joyce on 28th February 2021

This one includes a brushless motor and ESC, and a LiPo battery and charger (so it's quicker!)

Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models

does this definately come with a 60A ESC?
Asked by Adam on 10th June 2021

I just checked with FTX who advise:

"The carnage come with the ET0125 ESC which is 45amp

The Bugsta comes with ET0126 ESC which is 60amp, because of the bigger wheels."

Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models

Hi, I bought a carnage today and realised it doesn't have real headlights. Is there an upgrade to add lights? Cheers
Asked by Jeremy Blom on 4th September 2021

Sure, we do a range of lighting kits - take a look at https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/c/176/

Asked by Rob Ward on 14th September 2022

Answered by: Steve W @ Wheelspin Models

Hi, I know the recommended maximum is 2s but what 3s battery would fit that has a long run time.
Asked by Patrick on 20th September 2022

We cannot recommend 3s for this as its 2s max but the bigger the mah the more runtime you will get.
