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! Whether you're a beginner or experienced driver, the Bugsta offers exciting all-round performance straight out of the box.

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.

Control is via an Etronix 2.4ghz radio system, with power being provided via a brushed 550 motor, electronic speed control and a Voltz 1800mah NiMH battery, with steering being handled by a waterproof 9kg metal geared steering servo.

If you want an RC vehicle that is as much fun as it looks then the FTX Bugsta is the ride for you! With its combination of rugged performance, striking styling, and ready-to-run convenience, it’s a fantastic choice for off-road RC action.
