Arrma Big Rock V3 vs V2 what’s really different is it worth buying one or upgrade your V2

The new big rock v3 looks stable being wider but I saw a few thing I questioned but with that said see the difference I see just looking at the two rc side by side also let me know if you want to see the V2 and v3 run against the traxxas hoss and how these compares to arrma 3s line ? Comments below and let me know thanks for watching and sharing this video 🙏

The new big rock has the diffs from the kraton 4s now though so that's a big upgrade. I have a outcast 4s is the smallest truck i have but everytime i drive it snaps drive shafts. Maybe it's a good thing this big rock being on 3s not break so many drive shafts.

[@jaydee0187]

Do u recommend buying the truck? And also has it been durable?

[@murphy-ox7cu]

Nice comparison. Matte black does look good, but I think I prefer the blue body and chrome wheels myself. You can easily buy the typhon 3s a arms and turn buckles to make a v1 or v2 big rock wider. The new big rock is essentially the same stance as a typhon 3s, but with a truck body and wheels. But stronger chassis, better orings in the shocks, better controller, motor fan etc makes the new version a good buy for someone new to this platform. But not worth buying if you have already have a previous version.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

I agree 💯💯💯💯

[@robertredzich7292]

Definite buyer's remorse for you for this one. I also have the old 3S lineup except for the Big Rock. Considered the new ones but, they've gotta be more than a pretty body or I'll wait for the next round. Good review always informative. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@rcwreck-creation]

I think that .5” of width will make a difference in the tip over threshold? So an experienced operator who figures out where that threshold is, Will benefit a little? For a new person in the hobby, that is just full blast even wile steering? Don’t think it’s much of a difference honestly?

[@rcpd3157]

The biggest differences will be in the Arma Granite 4x4 MEGA! As far as value, compared to getting the older version that is. It now has the 3s diffs and the slipper clutch has been upgraded. At least, I have read the slipper clutch has been upgraded. I'm so deep into my older Granite now, I could have bought a 3s Granite and a Big Rock! That said, I do love it. If it wasn't like that, I wouldn't have had to mess with it and would never actually learned anything. Great comparison, great video. Fingers-crossed, my shocks on my MEGA haven't leaked, yet. :) I hope you do something cool with it. Definitely needs the roof sliders! (-) Those bodies on ARMA trucks are thin as paper, paper is harder to tear..lol

[@paulclancy2404]

You sure about that ? Ik with mega typhon its not , I woukdve bought just for parts , bc slipoer clutch assembly 50 60 bucks alone , tires ect so it would've been a homerun for me , also they're saying 4s diffs in these which are exactly the same as 3s diffs

[@rcpd3157]

@@paulclancy2404 NO!! not SURE!And yes,that's why I said 3s diffs. the slipper is "SUPPOSED" to be different. That's why I was trying to choose my words carefully. I have spent a fortune on my older model Granite converting it. The 3s slipper clutch is what I had to get and put in mine. Again, I'm not sure. I just watched an interview where Jason said this time it was made to be converted to brushless without being such a pain and drain on wallet. I'm paraphrasing that but it is essentially what he said. Thanks Paul, now I'm questioning every word I text...lol

I don't get why you would buy an rc and just let it sit. I wish I had that kind of money. The new big rock is a good truck. Mine is actually hard to roll over in turns. I don't like the fact the the old axles was used instead of longer ones, but I guess when they break i'll just upgrade them. One other thing about the new big rock is check the axles screws. Mine was loose and resulting in a wheel coming. Just lock tight them beforehand for good measure.
