Technical Performance
The FTX Vantage BL 2.0 is a 1/10 scale 4WD brushless buggy that demands a robust main chassis plate to handle the performance characteristics of its brushless motor and advanced suspension geometry. This genuine main chassis plate is manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring perfect alignment of all mounting points for the suspension arms, transmission components, and electronic speed controller. The plate serves as the primary structural element that maintains the precise suspension geometry necessary for balanced handling, traction, and cornering performance across varied terrain. Whether you're running this buggy on circuit tracks, off-road trails, or open ground for recreational bashing, the chassis plate must maintain its dimensional integrity to prevent geometry changes that could negatively impact handling and increase component wear. FTX's engineering ensures this chassis plate is optimised for strength-to-weight ratio, providing the necessary durability for brushless power without adding unnecessary mass that would compromise acceleration and manoeuvrability.
