Default ECX barrage 1/24 scale crawler

Much the same as the FTX on the post blow but licenced tyres and sweet truggy style tray.

Default ECX barrage 1/24 scale crawler

I was liking on the FTX for the price really. But this one will likely end up in my stable.

It has the potential for the scale-static model bodies for sure. I also wonder how close the axles are to the Losi and are they compatible with Fungi's 3D chassis? Since the LMc and Trekkers have dried up.

Axles look to be the same ring and pinion as the FTX

The ECX and FTX are the same truck.

Well the important stuff is the same, like the Axles, transmission, chassis and the likely crappy electronics. The body on the FTX is a one piece full body instead of the truggy cage and the ecx has better looking tires.
Unless there was a significant price difference or something we aren't aware of I'd prefer the ecx (something I'd never thought I'd say) haha

Correct. That was stated in the FTX thread, too. If the drivetrain will work with little modifications in Fungi's chassis' then the FTX would be the obvious candidate since it's cheaper. With the scale tires and truggy good looks, the ECX would be the choice for a scaler.

I prefer the body on ECX, but I like the FTX tires better. They look like TSL Super Swampers. Unbelievably the ECX features licensed Falken tires.

That ECX body could with a little skill be converted to something mimicking a 84-88 Toyota Truck

The body very much reminds me of the Nissan Patrol GQ ute which is a bit of a hero truck here in Australia.

To me it's definitely a 90s Toyota, just not with accurate lines. The headlights, turn signals, hood bump, door handles are unmistakable for a 90s Toyota.
Though the fender flares are off and it's a bit square, but it's not like it's officially licensed

I think that's what they were going for, well 90s ish. Either way a 1/20 Lindberg Toyota would look much more scale in this size and be much easier than trying to work the lexan.
This has the same hood bulge, headlights,turn signals, ect ect.

It's very ambiguous.

Yeah I agree. I'm just thinking that 80s look because of how close it is to my SCX10

TBH I do see a bit if both in there. Probably because they are both Toyotas and this isn't a licensed body.

The white one is actually a Nissan Patrol.

I have wanted to get a mini crawler for a while because fining 1/20-1/24th scale models is pretty easy. Looking at the specs from HH’s website this would almost be a PERFECT fit.

7 13/16” length
3 15/16” width

I know, I was talking about the dark red Toyota. The white Nissan just happened to be in the preview

$100 bucks and waterproof? Definitely on the interested list, the Pro-line Ambush bodies will fit plus the endless Revell truck bodies? Tire/wheel options are limited but glad there are options and companies like PL putting forth some effort. Indoor crawling fun for sure. Has anyone pre-ordered?

Showing in stock at RC Planet in both colors.

I'm so close to pulling the trigger but trying to convince my fiancee is another story... especially since I want a 1/10 scale truck as well.
