Get ready for a showdown with the Outlaw, the latest addition to the FTX off road buggy range. Loosely based on the powerful Ultra 4 buggies that take up the challenge of racing through the US’ west coast deserts, the Outlaw is the perfect mix of RTR entry level fun with a bit of scale realism thrown in to boot.
Under the semi-scale tubular roll cage, body panels and cockpit are some new and established features. The front suspension assembly is the same as FTX stablemates the Carnage and Bugsta trucks with fully adjustable settings, universal driveshafts, turnbuckles and a heavy-duty metal geared differential. Moving back, the moulded chassis supports the centrally positioned sealed shaft drivetrain, steering servo, motor and receiver box.
Semi-scale trailing arm rear suspension sets the Outlaw apart from other off road buggies in the FTX range. This long travel suspension, with huge articulation is what full size U4 buggies use to tackle the uneven desert surface. With drive to the rear axle assembly via a telescopic sliding diveshaft along with multi-position shock absorber mounting points, the Outlaw can handle some of the roughest terrain.
With established Etronix radio equipment, the brushed waterproof speed control, 550 motor and Voltz NiMH battery are the ideal combination for beginners. Plus with the sweet addition of full aluminium oil filled shock absorbers and scale looking all terrain tyres the Outlaw is the perfect choice RTR for enthusiasts looking for a rig with a bit of character!
Featuring Semi-scale trailing arm rear suspension and long travel shock absorbers the Outlaw is set to tackle any terrain in its path.
The long reach aluminium oil filled shock absorbers are fully adjustable and with multiple mounting options can be fine tuned to suit whatever is thrown at them and help the Outlaw over any obstacles.
The Etronix Radio will keep you in control alongside the Etronix brushed waterproof speed controller, Etronix waterproof servo, powerful 550 brushed motor and the Voltz battery pack. The Outlaw U4 really is ready to tackle anything with ease.

This is a quick car and is good off road has good handling and also has a good set-up but the electrical system does not last long ESC is not very well made and overheats the battery that is supplied with this item does not last long for the usage that you would expect from a car like this parts are not very easy to get hold of and this item is not waterproof the only thing that is waterproof is a ESR so this item is not very good for off-roading in wet conditions as it causes the car to short out.
Good for the price but difficult to get parts easily. The ESC doesn't last long before it causes running glitches. However, the Outlaw is fun to drive and handles rough terrain well. It's crash resistant, which is good because it's quite easy to roll! I've had a lot of fun with mine over the last 12 months and it's a good re-entry package for a casual buggy basher like me.
Great little car for the price. The battery that comes with it is a small MAH but for a municipal part like that and the charger I cant really fault it. Local shop keeps a great stock of parts for the FTX range and what they don't carry is available pretty quickly at a great price.
