ARRMA VORTEKS 3S BLX | Review & Speed Tests!

[@beyondRC]

So what do you think of the Arrma Vorteks 3s BLX? Is it worth the extra money compared to the other 3s models in the range? Will be doing some more speed runs on the speed pinion and we will see just how durable it is at my local skate park!! Be sure to subscribe 😎👍

I have a question did yours make a weird noise or noises like a grinding sound when doing some aerial tricks? Mines been making grinding sounds when backflipping sounds like a pinon gear grinding but not to sure

[@beyondRC]

@@coryfatur9866 i have noticed it does sound different to my granite. Definitely a grinding noise and will be investigating that ASAP!

[@coryfatur9866]

@@beyondRC thank you! I just wanted to make sure I'm a newbie to the hooby love your channel btw great stuff. I just didn't want to burn out my mesh gear within the first week of bashing. Thank you so much man ❤️

[@airbornerc4654]

We have a Vorteks too, and it’s crazy! It never gets old how fast and fun it is. Great video, thanks for posting 👍👊😎

[@beyondRC]

Thats great! its EPIC! 😎👍

[@nemesis8664]

Cheap, easy to work on it, relatively fast and quite durable. A very good option for a newbie and also good for experienced people. Got two of them myself (stock and modified) and I'm pretty pleased with them.

[@beyondRC]

Awesome machines. Cheers nemesis 😎👍

[@philhumber1534]

Just looks amazing, since getting our Typhon Mega I totally appreciate now the gulf in quality, hence the prices.Another excellent vid Ricky

[@beyondRC]

Cheers Phil its definitely a looker! Compared to the budget stuff quality wise there really is no comparing! You get what you pay for :)

[@feutastisch]

Nice Bro! I love my new Arrma Vorteks 🔥🤟☺️

[@surfside75]

Picked up the green/blue Vorteks $329❤ Promptly ordered more in hop-ups then i paid for the truck😅

[@M4rkmcc21]

That's so pretty I wouldn't want to bash it around for what it's designed to do!

Awesome unboxing and review video my friend😍 Very informative 👍

Thanks! 😎👍

[@lisagreenway8410]

I can’t wait to get one of these in the next month. We live near woods with hidden hills/gravel paths so I can’t wait to thrash it about. We already have a granite and senton plus a couple of fast UDI’s but I am sooooo excited to get one of these. :) such a great review and it has definitely made me more excited now x

[@GyuHobbyRC]

Nice review.🙏🙏 Thank you for sharing a great video. Have a good day. 💪✌️👏🙏👍👊

[@km7101]

I'm considering getting this now over the Traxxas Rustler VXL! now looks nicer in my opinion! Thanks for the review BeyondRC

[@km7101]

Just had a change of mind! Am looking at the team associated mt10 or possibly the mt8! My last rc car was purchased from Tandy over 30 years ago for those who remember that shop.

[@mysticaldragon2740]

dang was hoping to see the other videos you teased with. Im thinking of getting this for use at my skate park

[@beyondRC]

Great idea 😎

[@catcancrunch7260]

Love this truck ❤️ 👍 really nice colour scheme for sure and looks like plenty of power and seems to handle well? I’ve just ordered the typhon 3s today so maybe in a couple of months it is on the hit list 🤔 great upload thanks 🙏👍

[@beyondRC]

The colour is amazing! The purple and pink is the best colour in my opinion 😎👍. Handles very well and the typhon will be great! All the 3s range are excellent!

[@catcancrunch7260]

Got it today and straight into punch settings number 5 😂 lol gonna run it when Lidl car park empties out ☄️☄️☄️👍

[@adrianpilbeam7403]

Really nice video mate. Loved it. Still can't decide what my next buy will be. Kraton or Vorteks??? I love the look of them both... 😂

[@stekeel6993]

I'm deciding on them aswell hard choice

[@beyondRC]

Its a difficult one as this costs £400 is very close to the 6s range so does make it hard to decide. Stay top end 1/10 or go 1/8? Have to factor is battery cost as well unless you are already sorted with batteries :) 😎👍

[@stekeel6993]

@@beyondRC be down to how you drive aswell if your a basher or not an maintenance have watch plenty more videos

[@lukerecore3211]

Im a noob to the rc game, so i ordered a ARRMA granite 3s v3 blx. Because I like talking my rc cars through rough roads and high grasslands. But if i wanted the vortex I would pay the extra 50-70 dollars for it. But im glad that ARRMA came out with the 3s lineup, i picked the granite over the team associated rival mt10. I just want something that is not going to break on me to fast, and those mt10 arms r like glass. I like ur content keep up with the good reviews.

[@beyondRC]

Thanks Luke much appreciated!

[@roblowrie1969]

Great looking truck. 👍🏻

[@beyondRC]

100% 😎👍

[@opsgreen5216]

pretty cool!

[@Ramon-bd1ii]

What short course truck body shell fits the 144001 right? I really need one

[@rcleesd]

I noticed that mine has a light clicking sound just like yours does. Doesn't seem to affect anything, performance wise, but sounds different than my other V3 3S RCs from Arrma....have you noticed this too?

[@beyondRC]

I have noticed this and it appears a few people are having the same problem. Now im not sure if its normal or something is wrong but i will be investigating this further as i know my granite certainly doesn't make this noise 😮

[@catcancrunch7260]

Finally got one today and yet to run it ! Same colour as you 👍

[@beyondRC]

Enjoy it! Great truck

[@catcancrunch7260]

Just run it and wow what a great RC !!! Got this one on your recommendation! Next one is the Typhon 6s as I have the 3s, can't wait for April 2023 when I pay off c c lol cheers mate 👍🙏🐱

[@rcfuss6314]

My personal opinion is to go with the Granite V3. I had the Granite V2, which I sold to a friend and bought the Vorteks. I wish I would have saved the extra $60 and bought the Granite V3. I'm pretty sure it is just my driving style, but I love to do big jumps and as many front/back flips as I can get in. I thought the Vorteks would flip as well as the Granite, but it does not. If you're looking for something that handles better, then the Vorteks is great, especially if you want to drive it on a track or do speed runs. I personally prefer the higher clearance and better aerobatics of the Granite. The Vorteks is still a great truck, it just depends on what you want it to do.

[@beyondRC]

Couldn't agree more :)

[@apexstudio4657]

Wow nice vehicle bro 😲👍

[@beyondRC]

Cheers bro! 😎👍

[@sy55legrc]

Been waiting to watch this one properly haha bloody so all up the caravan was terrible, great vid mate full of info, it’s a canny little thing that, but still fancy me a Senton man n the 3s range

[@beyondRC]

Glad you enjoyed it! The senton will be epic i have no doubts mate!

[@MonsterRCHobby]

Great RC car🔥

[@christiansrcs7789]

Epic

[@bretzeletouffeur7401]

I love it ! I am going to buy the body + wells and place it on a 144001 chassis and 120 amp ESC for higher speed :-)

[@The_RC_Dude]

But the Vorteks is 1/10 scale, and the 144001 is 1/14 scale, so the body would be too big and would not fit, unless you drill new holes, but it would still look a bit weird. What do you mean by "wells"? If the Vorteks was 1/14 scale, I'd probably put one on my 144001

[@bretzeletouffeur7401]

@@The_RC_Dude Yeah I will have to boil the body to reduce it size :-) Sorry for one-four-fouring, I do that all the day.

[@Saq191-z6k]

What run time are you guys getting from this? And battery specs ..

[@Hikes_N_Bikes]

So am thinking this or the Losi lazernut ?? Which I should i get

[@stekeel6993]

Losi last longer

[@beyondRC]

The lazernut is on my wishlist! I cannot wait to get one 😎👍

[@Tiickel]

The arrma 3s cars are one of the best affordable cars with a lot of strength.

[@japyoo2248]

Does this handle better then the mini max? My max tips over so easily when turning with some speed

[@beyondRC]

It will do yes. It’s larger, wider and more capable. I’m yet to test a mini maxx but I believe it’s 1/14 scale (although slightly larger than advertised) I would go for this if budget allows

[@inozbik]

This or Big Rock? What do you think guys?

[@cherandissanayake9530]

Can u upgraded with a Sway bar..? Because high speed turned it is little unstable...

[@beyondRC]

no

[@nick92065]

I have had mine for a month. I am using a 6000MAH 100C 3S Lipo and I am only getting about 12 minutes of run time. I was hoping for a lot more run time, and this is on 75%. The battery was brand new when I got it. Here is what I did to the body post, because I hate the clips. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJbJZmurrpekqKc

[@patmarcus172]

Hi Nick. I have exactly the same issue on mine. Having had a lot of dialogue with Arrma in the uk (Logic RC) it’s a known problem - the LVC point is set too high (on mine it’s 3.8 v) . An update patch is coming that can be installed by the spektrum programmer or by your LHS. Until then, use the biggest battery you can, gear down the pinion to a 15t or even swap out the esc.
