description  Similar to the Striker, these cars are often unloved but are great bashers. They're nearly indestructible and with a 550 motor can pop wheelies AND be blazing fast. I've had a half dozen of these, and after the last one broke a chassis and was parted out I eventually started missing it. I got lucky and found a new chassis on eBay and built it back up from spare parts. The current setup is for winter running.

UPDATE: The FX10 is now equipped with a Novak SS5800 brushless system. I haven't had a chance to test it on pavement or any high grip surface yet, but in the snow the car did great and I like the feel of the system. I ended up buying 4 more FX10s.

Great FX-10. I am a Striker fan, and I have bean wondering about getting one of this to run. I have a NIB set of front shocks/front arms for it if you need it. The wheels in the first picture looks very cool!
