Arrma Fireteam 6S BLX Basher - Fast Attack R/C Military Vehicle

Dude I have a Fireteam and i still come back to watch this video. :) I´m no basher and like to drive and slide it with milde jumps, I do appriciate to see it handle some abuse.

This thing didn’t get much of my interest when I saw it but wow this video really captures what an absolute beast that thing is! I want one! Love the handbrake feature

[@fishnrc294]

This has to be one of the coolest RC’s I’ve seen. Just waiting for them to be back in stock which is soon. I have almost all crawlers but I’d have to say the Redcat Monte Carlo & this the Fireteam is just a great way to start off the new year. They’re so cool you can’t help but want them. But this one is just crazy & is super fast & can take serous abuse. Can’t wait to get one.

[@sheldonisnumberone]

7:50 I love your analysis and insight, to show that you can have it pinned and turn because of that long chassis that is a good information for us that are thinking about buying it. Thank you.

[@richprescott1779]

Cool find on the bowl by Tractor Supply, and so close to the track- I will definitely play around there. The area by the equestrian center, next to the creek is awesome, with a lot of undulations in the terrain.

[@MyKeyHull]

Dude. In the 80's I had a Grasshopper, and my best friend wanted to try it out, so I let him give it a go. He drove full speed into aa curb, which broke my Grasshopper into 3 pieces. I stopped hanging out with that kid right after that major let down.

The fire team is the best handling of all the Arrma bashers. It's so fun to drive. As you said, Brett, it stays on all 4s like a cat.

[@williamoleary9330]

Grabbed this when Arrma put it on sale for $399. I mean just fantastic of Arrma and Horizon when they do this for their fans. Just amazing price drop sales on their great vehicles unlike dumb Traxxas that gives free light kits on over priced vehicles….big whoop Traxxas….smh We just run and slide outs around on gravel and loose dirt. It’s just awesome!

[@DoggoDaOne]

Wow I really need to see if this will be in stock anytime soon, I’m not usually the one to go with aroma because of the performance issues on the kraton, but I think this one just blows most rc cars out of the water.

[@88davidw]

Hi Brett. Brilliant video as always. Looks like you were having a great time with the Fireteam!

[@AMain_Hobbies]

You know it! This thing is so fun to rip around and fling dirt. Reminds of me of a dirtbike oddly. What do you think about changing out the body and tires and making a more monster truck look? Might have to do a video on that. What else would be cool? -Brett

[@sheldonisnumberone]

I have the Traxxas x-maxx, Maxx, summit, 1/10 baya Rey, stampede, slash, 3 mini erevos, Trx6, TRX-4 bronco, TRX-4 defender, UDR, Losi Large Monster Truck. I can tell you that this truck is a very quick, capable, stable RC, and my new favorite. Thinking of selling some of my other Rc:s because they cannot compete with the fireteam. I take two RCs at a time down to the river where I can play in the sand beach and then climb up some of the hills beside the beach, so I bring the fire team and one other RC on the same day and run them both one after another and the capability of fire team far outways my other RCs. The UDR used to be my favorite but it can't compete with the fire team.

[@Dartheomus]

That flex at 10:34 was nothing short of amazing. Very impressive.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the part of the lot behind the track- the front, which is bigger, is much smoother. That track, btw, makes a trip to Chico worthwhile. Aside from that track there are so many other good spots as well

[@jerryritchie4041]

My wife and I bought the Arrma Fireteam a month ago. It is our first RC and we are new to the hobby. I am 60 year's old now and have been dealing with cancer on and off for 14 years now. But I have only been running the buggy in my big back yard for two weeks and the pinion gear spun off. Took it to the local hobby store a couple of days ago and had them put a 20T pinion on. But now the buggy is very noisey when running and stutters really bad on starts. Saturday evening on the 4S battery it completely stopped running on 1/4 throttle. When I tried to get it to go again it clicked and changed like it was trying to go but couldn't. Plus it gets hot quick!! Can you tell me what may be wrong with it? Maybe the mesh isn't right? Thank you!!

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Hey Jerry! Congrats to you and your wife on the Fireteam purchase. It's one aggressive truck! For your issues, it all comes down to the 20T pinion gear, which is way too big for your truck. The Fireteam comes from the factory with a 12 tooth pinion gear, by using a 20T, you jumped 8 teeth! When someone wants to experiment with gearing changes, we recommend jumping 2 teeth at a time and no more; drive the car for a few minutes, check the temps and proceed accordingly. So please return a 12T to your truck and shelf the 20T. -Brett

[@jerryritchie4041]

@@AMain_Hobbies Thank you for responding. Great advice and I will be going back down on the pinion gear.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

​@@jerryritchie4041 Sounds good! You should find success with the 12T. Also, the Fireteam includes a second 15T pinion gear that you can install for performing high speed passes (speed runs), although that 15T will also overheat your truck during normal driving and use; it's only for speed runs. Have fun Jerry. -Brett

[@jerryritchie4041]

@@AMain_Hobbies Thank you Brett. I am also looking forward to purchasing the Arrma Mohave V2 next month from Amain Hobbies.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

​@@jerryritchie4041 Wow really!? The Mojave is so good Jerry. The Fireteam and Mojave use the same chassis and wheelbase, but they drive like different beasts. The wider Fireteam with it's big tires are REALLY stable through most anything, whereas the narrower Mojave with smaller tires makes you work for it, but in a more realistic way. We're hoping to create a video comparison with the two in the future. Anyways, I babble, but you got me excited! -Brett

[@iceberg_4o487]

Hey Brett, how would you compare this to the traxxas sledge? Or would a 4s kraton be close enough with being more budget friendly?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

This is longer than the Sledge, but similar other than that. That extra length promotes the tires staying on the ground, where the Sledge is very likely to wheelie. 4S Kraton is similar to the Sledge in this respect. The Fireteam is supreme when you want to put the power down, without having the front end lift up. That's the biggest difference. -Brett

[@AMain_Hobbies]

I'm out of the loop on matters of product ordering but I know those estimate dates are from the supplier who must have pushed them back. Why? I honestly don't know. Could be shipping issues. Could be that the container is stuck on a ship at the port? Maybe it's stuck in customs (which sadly happens a lot). What color did you order? -Brett

[@Utubeisazzho]

What’s the best single 6s battery for this. What is recommended 100c or 50c? Thanks!!

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Yeah, I think they recommend something with a minimum of 50C. 100C would be pretty punchy in the Fireteam. We've used these Gens packs in many of the 1/8 BLX vehicles with great success: www.amainhobbies.com/gens-ace-6s-bashing-pro-lipo-battery-pack-120c-22.2v-6800mah-gea68006s12e5/p1331198 2x 3S LiPo's is another alternative, which we've also done with success: www.amainhobbies.com/gens-ace-bashing-pro-3s-lipo-battery-pack-120c-11.1v-6800mah-gea68003s12e5/p1331196 If you do lots of hard landing from big jumps, the outer shell on these packs will take a beating and slowly come apart. If you don't land from extreme heights and chassis slap often, you shouldn't have any issue with it. -Brett

[@wolfboy20]

Is this a good RC vehicle for Beginners who haven't used a higher speed RC vehicle before??

[@AMain_Hobbies]

If you have prior driving experience go for it, if not, I wouldn't recommend it on 6S power. 4S power might be more manageable, or maybe choose a smaller r/c to start with. This is a big, heavy and fast r/c car, and in inexperienced hands, can cause property damage and or personal injury. We don't want anyone hurt while learning, so might I add some other suggestions: Arrma Big Rock 3S BLX: www.amainhobbies.com/arrma-big-rock-4x4-v3-3s-blx-1-10-rtr-brushless-monster-truck-black-ara4312v3/p1250113 Arrma Kraton 4S BLX: www.amainhobbies.com/arrma-kraton-4s-v2-blx-rtr-1-10-4wd-brushless-monster-truck-blue-ara4408v2t2/p1426969 Hope this helps. -Brett

I was looking at getting an Erevo but they got rear toe links that always get bent or broken. Decided I didn’t want all that and even saved a bit of money by going with the Maxx v1. This was a couple years ago. The Maxx is a pretty well built RC in my opinion. It’s a basher. Widemaxx kit (when I got that, they didn’t come with the extended driveshafts I broke 2 factory ones and then upgraded to the metal ones, hubs, and wheel nuts.

I dont own any bashers and something doesnt make much sense granite 3s will do 50 mph how come a 6s doesnt go faster then 60 mph. Imagine putting a 6s in a granite, You wouldnt be able to keep tires on it. Hey Arrma how about a good 4s line or make a 6s Nero big rock 1/7 scale that would be sweet.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

A granite is a small plastic based r/c that is lightweight. A 6S vehicle, like an Outcast is more metal based, with bigger parts to handle more power, leading to a heavier r/c car. Bigger cars are heavy which zap the feeling of power. So to keep power and speed "feel" in-line with the smaller cars, more power is added like 6S. Real cars work the same way - fast powerful cars are usually lightweight, not heavy tanks. There is a fine line between power and weight. -Brett

[@lowridr2]

It’s not does an instant 180 and keeps the momentum of the motor also adds another dynamic to the driving

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Using the handbreak on our burm was great. It's makes the truck slightly moto, like braaaping around on dirtbike, sliding into this turn, sliding into that turn. It's a very unique feature and some people will definitely utilize it more than others, but it can be very useful and fun to use if you let it. -Brett
