Description

The red FTX DR8 combines 1/8 scale presence with a 6S-ready brushless power system designed for high-speed running across large off-road areas. A Hobbywing 150A ESC and 2000KV four-pole motor provide forceful acceleration and potential speeds approaching 100km/h, supported by a heavily braced 3mm aluminium chassis and reinforced suspension structure.

The shaft-driven 4WD transmission uses three sealed oil-filled differentials, metal gears, spiral-cut outputs and a hardened steel spur to handle the available torque. Adjustable pivot-ball suspension, front and rear anti-roll bars and aluminium threaded big-bore shocks let experienced drivers tune the car for stability and response. Red printed body panels, a moulded cage, cockpit detailing, spare tyre and powerful LED light bars deliver authentic desert-racer styling to match the performance.

FAQ
Customer Questions
If the running time on your new brushed FTX car is shorter than expected, there are several factors you can check to improve its performance and battery life: Battery Capacity: Ensure that you are using a high-quality and fully charged battery pack...
The FTX DR8 runs on a 4S or 6S LiPo with an XT90 connector. For 6S running, a 50C or higher rated pack is recommended.
FTX quote the DR8 as capable of up to around 100km/h (about 62mph), thanks to its 6S-capable Hobbywing 150A ESC and 4274 2000KV brushless motor. Actual speed depends on battery, gearing and surface.
No. The FTX DR8 comes with a 2.4GHz radio, but you'll need to add a 4S or 6S LiPo (XT90 connector), a compatible LiPo balance charger and batteries for the transmitter.
You need a LiPo balance charger that can charge the 4S or 6S packs you run in the FTX DR8. No charger is included in the box.
The FTX DR8's 15kg metal-geared steering servo is waterproof, but the speed controller isn't listed as waterproof, so it's best kept out of water and very wet conditions.
The FTX DR8 is a 1/8 scale 4WD desert racer, about 540mm long, 340mm wide and 220mm high, with a 360mm wheelbase and a 3mm aluminium chassis.
Yes. We stock FTX DR8 spare parts, which you'll find in the FTX DR8 section of our FTX RC car spares.
