Arrma Gorgon Brushless 3S Power Upgrade Bash Test

[@seanrogers8548]

I bought one of these last week and immediately put a 3900 KV brushless spektrum system (100 ESC) from a typhoon in it w/ a fan. I cannot express in words accurately enough how incredibly tough and capable this is. My teenage son’s been bashing 50C, 2SLiPo’s thru it continuously at wide open throttle (34mph). Nothings broke, and the motor temp doesn’t budge. Truly the GOAT of entry level RC.

[@FortekNine]

I agree, very strong truck and fun too, I given it to people who are new and drove crazy it and still holding up

[@redblue40rc33]

Same as mine except I added the granite 14mm tires😎🥂 all stock gears and anodized aluminum ball joints and shoegooed the body with hot glue beads....also move the esc up to next mount holes...allows battery cable to come thru chassis without bending wires, arrma receiver box for gorgon too

[@owen8538]

Best upgrade is hot racing motor mount alloy and servo saver alloy if breaks

[@FeralRC]

Just when I thought our Traxxas Bigfoot upgraded with a Spektrum brushless system (slap in the face to Traxxas) was the ultimate 2wd monster truck... Now we need a Gorgon.

[@williamcabello2142]

What setup did you get for it

[@VS666]

Thanks for the quick follow up on throwing a brushless in this! Seems like it really loves it

[@FortekNine]

Yea the truck holds up so well with the 3s system, Arrma should make a 3s version

[@jpak1130]

3S gorgon is where its at. my body got mashed, but no parts broken still! one of the most if not most rugged RC vehicle i got!

[@FortekNine]

I agree, we smashed this thing and still drives, one of my favorites go to trucks!

[@RcpsychoRen]

nice to see you in your work shop!! next a sbr2.0 run ? thanks

[@russellupkes8263]

That thing is so tough. It’s awesome on 2S and 3S.

[@johnjay7961]

Super fun rc even on 2s brushed does like 26mph tuff looks amazing very light budget friendly. Armas coming up in the rc world . Cant go wrong

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

awesome Brother ! One of the best Upgrade videos I've seen for this Truck! Just Awesome! 100%

[@FortekNine]

Thank you brother, really appreciate the good feedback

[@dub2536]

I ordered my gorgon 2 weeks ago. Hope to receive it within 2 weeks.

[@mariomozie2102]

Boy that thing rips👏👍 Hey it definitely needed 3'spower

[@JonnyJetson754]

It’s been a bit since I’ve stopped by however, Thanks 4 all the vids brotha 💯

[@FortekNine]

Thanks for stopping by brother and your always welcome 👍

[@joseCalderon1976]

For the price, plus the 3s system, this thing is pretty tough. The body needs to be reinforced with some gorilla tape. Hehe. Good stuff 👍

[@rcveljekset]

Cool video, the video is nicely done. GREAT!👍👍👍

[@trexslapfight]

18t pinion seems perfect for this setup, do you know which brand or part number it is?

[@antwontwontwon2378]

If you feed the battery cable into the hole and leave space in the compartment, you can fit 5.43 inch long 3s lipos pretty easily, It's hard to fit a decent 4s battery in here because at the end of the day it is a small battery compartment.

[@t3floz]

Nice video! Would the traxxas 1/16 vxl system work in the gorgon?

[@FortekNine]

I am not sure

[@Jaguar-s7f]

It handles shockingly well.

[@carlosbracho1644]

me I liked the video, I wanted to ask what sprocket did you use, how can I look for it? I know it's m0.8, but 32p, 42p? I'm confused. I hope your help, thank you very much

[@FortekNine]

So the stock setup is 61T Spur with 13T Pinion. I changed the pinion to 18T

[@williamcabello2142]

What to wear sniper you have in there that thing is moving

[@CamelTrophy-HK]

Really cool 👍👍

[@williamcabello2142]

What pinion do you have in there

[@FortekNine]

18T

[@DrewDoesRc]

Can u link your electronics or what you recommend for brushless swapping

[@FortekNine]

I used the Spektrum 100A Smart ESC from Arrma vorteks and a Spektrum 3150kv motor. Honestly any 3s setup combo should work just fine. Hobbywing has some great 3s combos as well

[@STRAIGHT_PIPED_RACING]

Good location! Where is that???

[@FortekNine]

In Dishman Mica, by Crafts and Gather area

[@paulmaldonado7039]

Dude do you have to replace the servo ,saver?

[@FortekNine]

Nope

[@williamcabello2142]

What esc is thes

[@owen8538]

Does anyone have problems with pinion hitting the plastic when using spektrum motor

[@ZSMracing]

I swear all RC car guys bins look like that especially if you have that many parts😂

[@FortekNine]

Keep telling myself im gona make a parts wall, 3 years later still telling myself lol 😅

[@carlosbracho1644]

Hola buen vídeo si quisiera cambiar el motor al buscar un piñón debería ser por ejemplo Un 16 m0.8 32p ? Estoy en lo

[@owen8538]

What tooth size pinion did you fit with the brushless i am fitting 18t with 3200kv similar to yours

[@laughterandcarwashes1191]

16t metal on upgraded metal larger gear with a 3200

[@williamcabello2142]

What battery were you running a 2s or a 3s does the Gorgon take a 3s

[@conniepiercy468]

He got the Spektrum upgraded system that can handle the 3s but the stock esc on the gorgon can only handle 2s

[@wilber8637]

Hey brother, can I ask if this Gorgon is easy to break or damage the gear? Because I plan to buy one in July.. I am just worried that it will be more prone to damage after I change the motor to a larger KV..🙏 Please share, thank you.

[@FortekNine]

So far only the body got broken, everything else holding up

[@dougswafford4481]

I just got this car runs great one problem when I charged the battery and went to run it again I’m not getting any steering. Could you please help me out I’m new to the rc world lol

[@FortekNine]

Make sure the servo wire is connected and in the right slot

[@AnggaWell-s5v]

How much is it in Indonesian Rupiah?

[@richardhutchinson9646]

What we all learned is the Arrma gorgon is tougher than trees, also If Arrma can make plastics so tough smacking into trees on jumps don't break them, there's no excuse for the a-arms that break so often on the 6s range

[@chrisryder4709]

I'll be putting 3s in mine today , I'm wondering about tires for this thing , I like the stock ones but , wanna get a little more ,,,,serious ?? Tires 😂😵‍💫, got e 6000 drying now , I'll be running it tomorrow, cool video again , thanx ! I can't believe I don't know that spot , 😂 where's that at

[@FortekNine]

No problem, the stock tires seemed to be doing good on it. The place is out in Dishman Mica by Craft and Gather

[@chrisryder4709]

@@FortekNine you gunna be doing any big 5 scale stuff , like Taylor stuff , I got three of them now looking for more guys to race with , they R ! THE PINNACLE OF THE rc driving experience , and the builds are intense ,and so is the power , there ABSUGULOOOOLY mental !! If we could get together some time I was gonna have you run one or two of them , I love handing the controls to guys ,it creates a giant smile everytime

[@FortekNine]

@chrisryder4709 I have the Losi DbXL and it's pretty weak with stock engine, I was thinking about getting something bigger for it like the taylor engines. Last case scenario I would turn into electric but I like the gas version

[@owen8538]

3s pack fit good

[@Batchat2352]

Remove avc it acts funny in the air
