Designed for big power and scale performance
The Grand Apache FTX5489R is built to push the limits. Its 8S-capable powertrain gives you explosive speed and torque, while the suspension geometry is optimised for aggressive off-road handling. Large-volume oil shocks with adjustable pre-load soak up jumps, ruts, and bumps with ease, and anti-roll bars keep body roll in check during cornering.
Built tough from the chassis up
This trophy truck features a 3mm CNC aluminium chassis with reinforced shock towers and centre chassis bracing. The drivetrain is protected by heavy-duty skid plates and internal guards, while front and rear bumpers help absorb impact during rough landings or collisions. Whether you're tearing across dirt tracks or jumping ramps, this truck is made to endure punishment.
Ready-to-run with minimal setup required
FTX has pre-installed the Hobbywing ESC, brushless motor, radio system, and electronics for convenience. All you need is your own choice of 8S LiPo batteries and charger. The 25kg steering servo provides fast, responsive control, while the receiver is waterproof to keep you running even in wet and muddy conditions.
Standout scale realism with working lights
The red body shell is bold and aggressive, backed up by incredible detailing such as the full roll cage, faux roof rack, mounted spare tyres, and functional lighting system. Whether you're driving during the day or into the night, the LEDs add realism and presence to every run.

We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:
- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
- If a product is marked as "Dispatched within 3 working days" delivery usually takes around 3 to 5 working days from when your order is placed.
- For customers in Inverness and other parts of the Scottish Highlands deliveries can take up to 2 working days even if you select next day delivery as couriers do not currently offer a guaranteed next day service to those areas.
