Cranking It Up To Eleven! (Arrma Gorgon Goes Brushless)

Having some fun making the Arrma Gorgon Brushless. You will need your own receiver to pull it off. Also anything bigger than a 2s battery will fit in the battery tray but the door will not close. I used Velcro off my Kraton to secure it. Thanks for watching, I appreciate y'all and remember too just have fun! Bash on!

[@rccarsandmusic2641]

Thank God! About time Brushless!

[@SketchRC-]

🙌

[@russellupkes8263]

Just bought my son a red Gorgon after watching your video and Thunder RC. This little Gorgon is TUFF. So now I’ve got to get myself one. This will be myself first ever RC. Thanks for a great video. I don’t the we will go over 2S though.

[@spenn2007]

That thing took flight on 3S LOL, awesome. This just might be the most interesting release of the year! Who will be the first to develop a wheelie bar just for the Gorgon?

[@SketchRC-]

Lol right! Somebody needs to make one quick! Definitely a must!

[@fonicgaming6787]

They do make a wheelie bar, it’s on the optional parts list. Looks like the wheelie bar from the granite.

[@SketchRC-]

Well! Lol looks like my big rock just lost a wheelie bar.

[@secondhandrc7024]

YES!!! This thing is gonna shut everyone up talking smack on it!!🤙🏻 looks like you made my mind up on getting one for sure!! Keep Rippin Buddy!!👍🏻❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@SketchRC-]

Dude, I had over an hour run time making the video. Nothing failed...lots of wrecks, bad landings, cartwheels, landing on power....and nothing. Very impressive

[@alantaylor353]

Just what I've been waiting for.!! 👍 👍 👍

[@Rc-Krazy]

Been waiting on someone to do this. Thanks bro

[@SketchRC-]

You're welcome! And thank you Man!

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Loved the video buddy , I’ve been following the Gorgon for some time now and man this truck just keeps surprising me . Planning on getting one for my daughter for Christmas and getting the build kit to help her get used to wrenching. Keep up the great work, You got my sub 💯 Stay awesome Chris 🤙

[@SketchRC-]

Awesome to hear man! Build kit would be great for that. And I Appreciate the positive feedback Bud!

[@electricnitrorc]

Nice run. Seemed to handle the brushless with ease 🙂

[@beanuno4581]

Looks like I gotta pick one up, 3s looks super fun

[@SketchRC-]

Definitely the sweet spot! Think 3s with ACV and a wheelie bar would be the ticket!

[@beanuno4581]

@@SketchRC- I agree with you, just need see what wheelie bar can be rigged onto it.

[@ExtremeRC13]

That's so cool I wish Traxxas would come out with something like this budget-friendly

[@xNicholasWolf]

Sweet coverage. Did not expect you to go all the way up to 4s. Thinking I'll want to reinforced the body a bit now at least. Not trying to scrape the electronics off the top of the chassis in a roll over. Jammed a VXL system in mine from a Slash, haven't gone up to 3s yet however. Mostly because the 3s 6500mah hard case battery I have doesn't fit, but I hadn't considered using Velcro to hold it in like you did.

[@SketchRC-]

I didn't expect it to survive lol Yeah stole a velcro strap from my kraton and ran it under my mounted esc to keep it from falling out while loose. Worked about real well. But exposes your battery...all in fun. I'll be ording a new body when it's available.

[@JagImaging]

Looks wicked fun!

[@SketchRC-]

Lol Thanks man! And that's the part I enjoy the most! Why I stress to viewers there's no right or wrong way to enjoy the hobby haha. I'm hoping to take that missile to the dunes soon. Should be a fun one. Thanks again man.

[@RcInDaHiz]

Awesome! Looking forward to the vid of the dunes!@@SketchRC-

[@Shadows-RC]

First I've seen here make it brushless. Would like to see Hot Racing make a steel spur and heavy duty slipper for it. That with 3s would be solid all day fun. Good show.

[@SketchRC-]

Thanks! With how good that plastic one held up I don't know if it needs a steel haha. Thanks for watching, appreciate ya!

[@pauls1816]

It doesn’t just need a wheelie bar…it needs a drag wheelie bar lol

Lol yeah that's probably more like it. A drag MT. Now there's a cool idea!

I just bought the build your own and the green one. Cant wait to rip with them. I dislike when you order them they say they are in stock now when you look at your order it says backorder

[@rc_jamm]

Question so the stock esc and motor you run 2s and your switching esc and motor for 3s and 4s???

[@SaarlandRC]

Thank you ❤

[@DaltonKemp]

Been looking into getting a Arrma Monster RC truck, love the look of this one, but wanted brushless out of the box. But after seeing your video here, I’m thinking just buy it and throw the brushless motor and ESC in it!

[@SketchRC-]

Lol do it! I'm sure they will someday release this Brushless ready. Assuming the sales did good.

[@DaltonKemp]

@@SketchRC- how do I know which brushless motor and ESC to go with? Thanks.

[@SketchRC-]

They have the recommended boost Brushless package listed on the website. I would recommend that as I don't want you to get something that might not work. Spektrum isn't that bad even tho some will say different. Atleast I've had good luck with them. That's Also how they designed it to be Brushless so think that would be best. Hope this helps.

[@paulclancy2404]

Did you put any angle cutting the side pieces for rc jump ? Its much easier not so can use regular plywood for the face , i wasnt sure it work good .

[@rccarsandmusic2641]

Need a slipper clutch update. That's that cheap new clutch that will self destruct.

[@t3floz]

Nice video! Also thinking of buying this and make it brushless with a 4000kv motor and 3s. I wonder how much throttle do you need to make it backflip? Does it do backflips easy on 3s? Also do you think 4200 kv would be too much? Also do you feel like you are missing out 4wd?

[@MrRedcain]

Tjis one is mot for me , we are still waiting for the Losi Promoto MX bike to drop in Europe and the UK 🇬🇧, also waiting for the V2 Tekno MT410 to be released. Isn't there any dirt area you xan get to?

[@paulclancy2404]

Im grab one these gordins i have enough 3s escs and motors , but larger shafts so i may have to pick up a motor , i wonder if the 380 bl motor would work

[@needlejuse1113]

If the front tires had foams whould that help it stay down a lil bit like itd add a lil weight but not too much were itd break?

[@SketchRC-]

I'm not real sure. I'd think it would need some serious wait to keep the front down 😆

[@alexandretempleux6912]

maybe you can use some parts out of it on the granite, so sad ther no awd one yet! thx for the content!

[@SketchRC-]

I'd be very disappointed If arrma does do a 4x4 release. I'm sure they will, just not as quick as we'd like.

[@TboneTenEighties]

3s is always the sweet spot for 10th scale 2wd. My Raider hits over 50mph

[@SketchRC-]

How you keep it planted!?! Lol and I seen a raider on marketplace. Dude wanted way too much. Awesome you have one!

[@TboneTenEighties]

@@SketchRC- A lot of space and knowing when to squeeze lol. I'm not bragging but I've been "driving" 2wd rc's since the late 80's. I've only owned only two 4wd rc's my whole life. I just feel 2wd is more fun and takes a bit more skill which keeps me coming back for more. The Gorgon is a very cool creation by Arrma. You cannot just have 800 dollar rigs in your line-up as a rc company. Great edition imo. For the money it looks to be hard to beat. Have fun with that beast! ✌

[@ThEtEcHnOsAm]

The body will be parachuting as well causing it to lift. Would be interesting to see how much quicker it is without the body

[@maltesrc]

4s gorgon. You animal😂😂😂

[@Justwiselove]

What body are you putting on it now?

[@Moggmodels23]

Hi buddy looking good nice video have you got the upgrade parts you used to up the motor and esc cheers 😊😊

[@SketchRC-]

Thanks! I used a Hobbywing Max10 120A SCT esc and motor combo. Mainly because it was laying around in the shop. You'll also need to add a receiver when upgrading to Brushless. I believe arrma sells the whole kit to do it on their website.

[@Moggmodels23]

@SketchRC- cheers mate 👍 I will check it out

[@kurtsrcTV]

Now imagine if arrma pulls out a 4x4 brushless version 👌

[@SketchRC-]

Would be awesome! I have no doubt they will. I feel a mega release is always a test the waters situation. Then they go from there.

[@kurtsrcTV]

@@SketchRC- yes I definitely agree with that one 👍 hopefully and added wheelie bar and a more reinforced body

[@vsci79]

Maybe I'm too old school but I would like them to duplicate the gearbox to the front to make it dual motor 4wd. 😎

Won't regret it man!

[@highamps]

I think 2s it's enough to have great fun with it, 3s it's slightly too much.

[@stephenjones382]

Did you have to trim the chassis a bit for the motors power wires to clear?

[@SketchRC-]

No, everything fit right together.

[@stephenjones382]

​@SketchRC- the Hobbywing combo my LHS sold me with my Gorgan, the wires on the end bell hang up before I can seat the motor. Figured I just grind a little away.

[@SketchRC-]

Ohh I see what ya mean. I'd just cut and solder to extend a bit if you can that way you don't have too hurt the chassis. I've used mine in too many different builds it was already extended a bit.

[@troywilliams3535]

Okay I just watched your video then I ordered a castle creations Copperhead sensored ESC with the1406 4600 KV combo wish me luck

Luck be with you lol Awesome man, have fun!

[@Ras-wisdom]

Nice review but i think you shoulda test the speed on paved road bro im sure grass is too bumpy!

[@SketchRC-]

I know I just got the property for it. Dirt is more forgiving lol if I do a speed build or street car I have some spots. Just didn't want to travel for it to be honest man.

[@Ghetto_Rc]

I added some 7g weighs to the front n i got it up to about 53 thinking off changing pinion gear 😂. But 4s is ridiculous monster truck race? Mud race

[@needlejuse1113]

Such good idea i was just thinking man if a lil front weight🎉❤

[@Ghetto_Rc]

Lol if you running 4s probably at least 3pounds of 7g or 10g weights spaced out in the front to a somewhat even distributed on all sides

[@Bidenmytime]

Put a small weight on the front end like a drag tractor 😂😅

Just saying, the 4000kv motor is stressing both the motor and esc as neither are rated for 4s on 4000kv. Only the 2400kv motor is rated for 4s

I use the spectrum motors all time on higher voltage , long as you don't run them hot your ok . I run dB pro on 4s Maxx on 6s vendetta on 4s I really think 5s on my 6s cars going be sweet spot like I said it's all about the heat. I went other way with outcast 4s because that needs lower kv with big wheels , I use 2050 2000kv
