FTX BUGSTA RTR 1/10TH BRUSHLESS 4WD OFF-ROAD BUGGY
Classic beetle style and brawn fuse together with the FTX Bugsta, the latest heavy-duty 4wd off road vehicle from FTX. Using the same chassis platform as the hugely popular Carnage Truggy, the Bugsta captures best of buggies and trucks, with a bit of monster thrown in for good measure!
The 4wd shaft drivetrain features metal diff gears and front universal driveshafts, while an integrated slipper helps protect the drivetrain from possible damage under power. With adjustable turnbuckles all round and large bore oil filled shock absorbers the Bugsta can be tuned to suit you or the surface.
Etronix provide the electronics in the form of the EX2 2.4ghz crystal free radio system. The waterproof Photon 60 Amp 2.1W Sensorless brushless speed control combined with the 2950kv motor provides exceptional speed and power.
To get the best from the brushless system, FTX include a Voltz 2S LiPo battery, balance charger and charge sack for a complete package. All you need to add are AA batteries for the transmitter and you are away!
Want an r/c vehicle that is as much fun as it looks then the Bugsta is the ride for you!

How fast does it go

Around 40mph top speed.
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Can this handle a 3s 11.1v Lipo
Asked by Tommy on 19th April 2019
2S is the reccomended maximum
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
does this come with a controller, battery and a charger?
Asked by John on 9th September 2019
Yes, it comes with transmitter, battery and charger. You just need 8 x AA batteries for the transmitter to complete.
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Does this have a speed limiter?
Asked by John on 11th September 2019
No, there's no specific speed limiter or training mode (that's a Traxxas-only feature).
The easiest way to restrict the speed for learning is a small blob of "blu tack" behind the trigger :-)
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
What type of speeds will it do thanks
Asked by Richard on 19th November 2019
I would say this should do around 30 - 40mph on a 7.2v Lipo battery.

Hi guys this or the vantage
Asked by Aaron Kinsey on 22nd April 2020
Personal preference on body style :-)
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
How could I upgrade this to take lipos 3s
Asked by Dan on 22nd April 2020
2S is the max on these. You'd need to upgrade motor + ESC for 3S
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
I came across 6500mah battery and 110c would this be too much for esc is the max 50c thanks
Asked by Dan on 24th April 2020
The C rating and capacity won't make any difference. If it's 2S 7.4v and will physically fit, then yes it will be fine.
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Could the esc take slightly higher motor at all in this and would in benefit in speed or isn't there any benefit
Asked by Dan on 24th April 2020
I don't think you could upgrade the motor much without also upgrading the ESC
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
