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!

Is there a wheely bar for this car. Thank you.

Ed / 8th February 2021

Yes FTX6366

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

Dan / 24th April 2020

I don't think you could upgrade the motor much without also upgrading the ESC

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

I came across 6500mah battery and 110c would this be too much for esc is the max 50c thanks

Dan / 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.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

How could I upgrade this to take lipos 3s

Dan / 22nd April 2020

2S is the max on these. You'd need to upgrade motor + ESC for 3S

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

Hi guys this or the vantage

Aaron Kinsey / 22nd April 2020

Personal preference on body style :-)

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

What type of speeds will it do thanks

Richard / 19th November 2019

I would say this should do around 30 - 40mph on a 7.2v Lipo battery.

Anthony @ Wheelspin Models

Does this have a speed limiter?

John / 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 :-)

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

does this come with a controller, battery and a charger?

John / 9th September 2019

Yes, it comes with transmitter, battery and charger. You just need 8 x AA batteries for the transmitter to complete.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

Can this handle a 3s 11.1v Lipo

Tommy / 19th April 2019

2S is the reccomended maximum

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

How fast does it go

Lesly / 29th September 2018

Around 40mph top speed.
