The new FTX Texan rock crawler is clearly inspired by the classic pick-ups from the 1940’s and 50’s and blends old school retro looks with the latest in RC crawler chassis design. This RTR features no body clips or posts, with a magnetic fixing at the front and hinged rear for smooth, uncluttered scale looks and easy, quick chassis access. Underneath the Texan features a low profile, cantilever rear shock absorber set-up to provide the platform for a flatbed rear assembly.
Molded internal wheel arch lining and side floors add further scale realism to the the FTX Texan, along with beadlock wheels and dust cap.
Aluminium CNC shock absorbers are standard front and rear as are dual rated front springs. With the battery pack mounted further forward and the motor and Etronix 15kg servo set directly over the axle, weight bias and climbing ability is greatly improved.
The split transmission design allows for a lower centre CofG centre transmission that can help accommodate interiors, whilst the updated transmission design now rotates front and rear axles in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction to help reduce the effects of torque twist.
