The Ruffneck is your new high-performance crawler that features a twin rail carbon-fibre LCG
(Low Centre of Gravity) chassis design with lightweight 6/4 counter-weight radio positioning of electronics for a super capable crawler. Featuring the Hobbywing 30A 2200kv All-in-One FOC Power System, this unit provides unparalleled low-speed torque, linearity and smoothness. The integrated design of motor and ESC reduces volume and weight for a simpler and cleaner chassis layout.
CNC aluminium chassis parts come as standard on the Ruffneck, with front and rear axles, motor plate, lower centre chassis plate and steering hubs all machined to the highest quality. Steel front CVA driveshafts and centre driveshafts handle the torque from the reduction drive transmission which features metal gears and steel reduction shaft with a final drive ratio of 37:1 for those steep, slow inclines.
An Etronix 15kg metal geared steering servo is mounted to a brass SOA (Servo Over Axle) mounting plate, matched up with a metal servo horn. Threaded, adjustable aluminium shock absorbers wrap things up before the detailed, semi-scale truck body is mounted via hidden mounts. Super tacky lug tyres provide traction in the worst conditions.
Control and performance all in one with the brushless Ruffneck from FTX!

How does the carbon fibre chassis improve trail capability?
The twin-rail carbon fibre chassis used in the FTX FTX5472OR trail crawler RTR orange is engineered for optimal weight distribution and structural rigidity. Its low centre of gravity design, combined with a 6/4 counterweight radio layout, enhances balance and traction on uneven terrain. This configuration is especially effective during slow-speed crawling, where stability and articulation are critical. The carbon fibre material also contributes to weight reduction without compromising strength, making the FTX FTX5472OR ideal for extended trail sessions and technical climbs.
What makes the Hobbywing FOC system ideal for trail control?
The FTX Ruffneck with Hobbywing FOC and metal gear drivetrain features a 2200kv All-in-One brushless system that integrates motor and ESC into a single compact unit. This design simplifies wiring, reduces weight, and improves layout efficiency. The 30A speed control delivers consistent power with smooth throttle response, making it easier to modulate torque during climbs and descents. This system is particularly beneficial for trail environments where precision and control are more important than speed.
Why are CNC aluminium components essential for durability?
The drivetrain and structural components of the FTX FTX5472OR with carbon chassis and aluminium shocks are CNC-machined from 6061 aluminium, including the motor mount, axle housings, steering hubs, and lower chassis plate. These parts are built to withstand the rigours of trail driving, including high torque loads and repeated impacts. Steel CVA front driveshafts and centre transmission shafts further reinforce the drivetrain, ensuring reliable power transfer from the motor to the wheels. This robust construction allows the FTX FTX5472OR to maintain performance integrity even under aggressive crawling conditions.
How does the 37:1 gear ratio enhance crawling performance?
The metal gear reduction transmission in the FTX FTX5472OR Ruffneck brushless 4WD features a final drive ratio of 37:1, specifically tuned for slow-speed crawling and steep incline navigation. This gear ratio enables the truck to deliver high torque at low speeds, allowing for precise control over throttle input and wheel movement. The steel reduction shaft and metal gears ensure that the transmission remains durable and efficient, even when subjected to continuous strain. This configuration is ideal for trail enthusiasts who prioritize control and realism over raw speed.
What benefits does the SOA servo mount offer?
The steering system of the FTX crawler with SOA servo mount and adjustable suspension is anchored by a brass Servo Over Axle mounting plate, which positions the Etronix 15kg metal geared waterproof servo directly above the axle. This setup improves steering geometry and responsiveness while protecting the servo from ground impact. The inclusion of a 25T metal servo horn ensures precise input translation, and the 46° steering angle allows for tight maneuvering in confined trail environments. This configuration enhances the FTX FTX5472OR’s ability to navigate technical terrain with confidence and control.
How do the adjustable shocks and tyres improve terrain adaptability?
The suspension system of the FTX FTX5472OR RC truck with 2200kv motor includes threaded aluminium shock absorbers that can be tuned for different terrain types. Whether tackling rocky paths or soft mud trails, the shocks allow for compression and rebound adjustments that optimize handling and stability. Complementing this setup are super tacky lug tyres mounted on aluminium wheel hexes, which provide grip and traction in challenging conditions. The combination of adjustable suspension and high-traction tyres ensures that the FTX FTX5472OR maintains control and composure across diverse trail environments.
What makes the body design functional and realistic?
The semi-scale bodyshell of the FTX FTX5472OR with LED headlights and hidden body mounts is designed for both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality. Hidden mounting points preserve the clean lines of the orange exterior, while integrated LED headlights enhance visibility and realism during low-light conditions. The body includes detailed accessories that contribute to the scale appearance, making the FTX FTX5472OR suitable for display as well as performance. This attention to detail ensures that the truck appeals to hobbyists who value both form and function in their RC builds.
For trail enthusiasts seeking a capable and visually refined 1/10 scale crawler, the FTX FTX5472OR Ruffneck brushless 4WD offers a compelling blend of performance, durability, and realism. With its carbon fibre chassis, integrated brushless system, and CNC aluminium components, the FTX FTX5472OR is engineered for demanding terrain and extended use. The inclusion of scale features like LED lighting and hidden body mounts further elevates its appeal. For those looking to upgrade their trail experience with a feature-rich platform, buy FTX FTX5472OR with LED headlights and hidden body mounts today.
