FAQs
What is included in the FTX Outback Trooper 4x4 RTR box?
The box includes the 1:10 scale FTX Outback Trooper 4x4 RTR model, a 6-Channel 2.4GHz radio system, a 2-in-1 receiver/60A speed controller, a 35T 550 brushed motor, an Etronix 25kg metal geared waterproof servo, a battery, and a USB charger. It requires 4 x AA batteries for the transmitter.
How much assembly is required?
The model is 99% Ready-To-Run. You will need to install 4 AA batteries into the transmitter and charge the included vehicle battery before you can drive.
Are the electronics waterproof?
Yes, the Etronix 25kg metal geared servo and the 2-in-1 receiver/60A speed control are waterproof, allowing for operation in damp conditions.
What type of terrain is this RC crawler best suited for?
It is designed for trail crawling and is best suited for rocky paths, dirt trails, inclines, and moderate off-road obstacles. The short wheelbase and grippy tires aid in its climbing capabilities.
Can I upgrade the motor to a brushless system?
While possible with compatible parts, the Outback Trooper 4x4 RTR comes with a brushed motor setup. Upgrading to brushless would require a new ESC and potentially other drivetrain modifications.
How do I maintain the drivetrain?
Regularly inspect the drivetrain for debris. Clean any dirt or mud accumulation. Periodically check that all screws are tight. Applying appropriate lubricant to gears and drive shafts can help maintain smooth operation and longevity.
What is the scale of the model?
The FTX Outback Trooper 4x4 RTR is a 1:10 scale model.
Troubleshooting
RC car not responding to transmitter inputs
Ensure the transmitter has fresh AA batteries and is powered on. Check that the RC car's battery is charged and connected. Verify the transmitter and receiver are properly bound (refer to the radio system manual). Ensure you are within range of the transmitter.
Motor not running or weak performance
Check the battery charge and connection to the ESC. Inspect the motor and drivetrain for any obstructions or binding. Ensure the ESC's thermal protection has not been triggered (allow it to cool).
Steering is slow or non-functional
Check the steering servo connection to the receiver. Inspect the servo horn and steering linkage for any physical obstructions or damage. Ensure the servo is receiving power and is not overloaded.
LED lights not working
Verify the LED light set is correctly connected to the appropriate channel or port on the receiver/ESC. Check the connections for looseness or damage.

- Includes battery and charger for convenience.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the Outback Trooper 4x4 RTR ready for action is straightforward. Ensure the included battery is fully charged using the USB charger provided. Install 4 AA batteries into the 6-channel 2.4GHz transmitter. Bind the transmitter to the receiver following the radio system's manual if necessary (though typically pre-bound).
Compatibility: The primary compatibility is with the included FTX radio system and battery. Any upgrades or replacement parts should be checked for 1:10 scale RC crawler compatibility.
Care: After each use, especially after running in wet or muddy conditions, it's recommended to clean the model. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the body and chassis. Avoid high-pressure washing, which can force water into electronic components. Ensure the body is dry before storage. Periodically check screws for tightness and inspect the drivetrain for any debris that may have accumulated. Lubricating the drive shafts and gears can also extend their lifespan.
