- Advanced Radio System — The latest compact Etronix EX4M 4-channel 2.4GHz radio offers modern frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology for reliable interference-free control, with range and response unmatched by older 27/40MHz systems.
- Metal-Geared Differentials — Front, rear and centre geared differentials with metal gears provide smooth, durable power transfer through front and rear universal driveshafts, meaning you get consistent performance across all terrain types without the slipping or wearing associated with plastic gears.
- Waterproof Electronics — Both the Etronix Photon ESC and 9KG metal-geared steering servo are waterproof rated, allowing you to tackle puddles, creek crossings and wet grass without fear of electrical damage or servo failure.
- Heavy-Duty Chassis Construction — The moulded tub chassis with aluminium upper plate and unique gearbox design for low centre of gravity provides exceptional rigidity while keeping weight distribution optimal for handling and stability.
- Professional Suspension Setup — Double wishbone suspension with big bore oil-filled adjustable shock absorbers at all four corners, aluminium suspension hanger mounts and full adjustability for droop, camber, toe-in and wheelbase allows you to dial in the handling for your preferred driving style and terrain.
- High-Performance Steering — The 9KG metal-geared waterproof steering servo provides responsive, accurate steering control with enough torque to handle rough terrain and high-speed directional changes without binding or servo buzz.
- Adjustable Turnbuckles and Wheelbase — Complete suspension tunability including adjustable turnbuckles and wheelbase means you can fine-tune the Khaos to suit different surfaces, from smooth concrete to rough grass and rocky terrain.
- Full Ball Bearings — Precision ball bearings throughout the drivetrain and suspension provide smooth operation, reduced friction and longer component lifespan compared to bushings.
- Aluminium Wheel Hexes — The 4WD shaft drive is completed with aluminium wheel hexes that offer better durability and a more professional appearance than plastic alternatives.
- Lightweight High-Impact Arms — Suspension arms constructed from lightweight high-impact polymer provide the perfect balance of weight-saving and durability, crucial for maintaining speed and responsiveness without sacrificing crash resistance.
Technical Performance
The FTX Khaos represents a significant step up in performance from brushed RC trucks. The Etronix Photon 3665 2100KV brushless motor spins at extreme RPM to deliver impressive straight-line speed whilst remaining controllable thanks to the intelligent 3S 3300mAh LiPo battery pairing. At 3S voltage (11.1V nominal), this motor and ESC combination produces genuine high-speed thrills whilst the build weight and aerodynamics of the oversized 1/10 chassis mean speed remains manageable for driver development. The 80A ESC is serious specification—most budget RC trucks use 60A controllers, so you get genuine headroom for acceleration and obstacle climbing. The Etronix PowerPal balance charger included in the box manages the 3300mAh cell safely, charging fully in reasonable time and protecting against over-charge and cell imbalance. The moulded tub chassis houses all electrics in a protected environment, whilst the updated geometry rear shock tower and new heavy-duty body mounts ensure the bodywork stays secure even during aggressive driving or crash impacts. Oil-filled shock absorbers with adjustable damping rates mean you can dial in the ride height and compliance to match your driving location—stiffer for smooth tracks, softer for rough grass and rocks. The 4WD shaft drive system with front, rear and centre differentials ensures power reaches all four wheels efficiently, crucial for climbing obstacles and maintaining momentum through corners. With a full complement of ball bearings, adjustable suspension geometry and metal gears throughout the drivetrain, this is a properly engineered off-road truck that will handle the demands of regular bashing and even competitive driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FTX KHAOS suitable for beginners to RC cars UK? — Yes, absolutely. This ready to run RC truggy is 99% pre-assembled, meaning there's no building required. The included 4-channel 2.4GHz radio is easy to learn, and the 3S brushless motor provides enough punch to be exciting whilst remaining controllable for new drivers. The fully adjustable suspension allows you to dial in forgiving settings. Skill Level 2 rating means it's suitable for drivers with some basic RC experience or those willing to learn quickly.
- What battery does the FTX KHAOS need? — The FTX KHAOS is powered by a 3S LiPo battery, and a Voltz 3300mAh 3S cell is included in the box. You'll want to have a spare 3S LiPo battery available for extended running sessions. Any quality 3S LiPo battery rated for at least 80A discharge (matching the ESC specification) will work with this truck. The included Etronix PowerPal balance charger is specifically designed to charge 3S LiPo batteries safely.
- What is the difference between this and other 1/10 brushless RC trucks? — The Khaos stands out through its oversized 1/10 footprint (larger than traditional 1/10 scale), full adjustability across suspension geometry, metal-geared differentials at front, rear and centre, and genuinely waterproof electronics rated for splash-proof use. The combination of affordability with this level of specification and tunability is rare. Many competitors either sacrifice adjustability to save cost, or use plastic gears and non-waterproof servos. The Khaos does neither.
- Is this truck waterproof? — The electronics are splash-proof and waterproof-rated, including both the ESC and servo, meaning you can safely run through puddles, wet grass and creek crossings. However, this is not a fully submersible vehicle—avoid complete water immersion and always rinse with fresh water after wet running.
- What radio frequency does this use? — The Etronix EX4M radio operates on the modern 2.4GHz frequency band using FHSS (frequency-hopping spread spectrum) technology. This is the current industry standard, offering better range, no frequency conflicts and more reliable control than older 27/40MHz systems. It's also fully compatible with other 2.4GHz systems.
- How fast does the FTX KHAOS go? — With a 3S battery and 2100KV brushless motor, you can expect genuine high speeds in the region of experienced brushless 1/10 off-road trucks. Exact top speed depends on gearing, battery voltage, terrain and driving technique, but this setup is designed for exciting, controllable speed rather than outright maximum velocity.
- Can I upgrade and tune the FTX KHAOS? — Yes—FTX designed the Khaos for tunability and there's a wide range of option parts available. You can adjust suspension geometry completely, swap shock settings, try different gear ratios, and upgrade components as desired. The adjustable turnbuckles and suspension mounts mean you have professional-level setup options.
