A friend wanted us to take a look at his Brushless Arrma Big Rock Crew Cab because he was having some battery issues. Turns out, he was just using a bad battery. We steered him in the right direction with the Spektrum SMART batteries and everything works fine. He was thankful, so he let us borrow his 1/10 BLX 4wd Arrma big rock for a few days. We decided to do a speed test to see how fast the brushless arrma big bock rc car can go!

You should max the punch settings on the esc after I did that easily does 55mph on 3s.

[@NateHaller]

What was the brand of the "crap" battery? My son is going to buy one and I want to make sure the local RC shop isn't selling him the same battery.

[@TheTootie52]

SWEET truck!! So glad it was just a bad battery!! Thanks Saylors - Dr. Nate and Abby R.N.!! 💟👍😘

[@Ben-311]

Anything Arrma I love! My favorite manufacturer by far!

[@MaddHatterTTV]

I purchased this truck about a month ago and am very pleased with it. On a 2s it is fast and on a 3s it is extremely fast. You can go full throttle and immediately flip it on its top. I haven't done bought a speed meter yet but others are doing over 50mph on 3s.

[@newamericatowguy3633]

Dude I added this 1 to my fleet on my birthday in November and this by far is my favorite!!! The handling, the stability, the power, and the durability out of the box are incredible!!! My only complaint is the transmitter and receiver.

[@ArtPadillaJr]

I just got this truck… Only used it a couple times. But do you know why when I hit full throttle it wants to shoot off to the right as it wheelies…

I redid my throttle end points on the 50% setting before i used mine. Does wheelies on 50% #3 punch setting. Its goes crazy hella fast on 100% 3s lipo 50c.

I’ve got the Granite BLX which is basically the same vehicle. But I was able to get mine up to 52mph. I think that’s a little over 80kmh. Love the Granite tho. One of the best MT bashers on the market imo.

[@TheRcSaylors]

We think the rain slowed us down a bit today, just slipping to gain 100% traction. Still super fast and very fun 👍⚓😎

Terry Back this looks a lot longer than the granite I have the brushed version

[@terryback1773]

Steve Leahy it does have a little longer wheelbase, but the motor and esc are the same.

I also got 52mph out of my big rock, so fast for the price these cost!

Do the spectrum smart batteries fix the delay problem on the spectrum transmitter receiver for this vehicle?

[@jossuegarza215]

No!!! The batteries only power the vehicle. They are smart only because you don't have to mess with anything or set up the battery with the charger when charging .the charger recognizes the cells and charge rate of the battery and does it automatically.thats why they call it a smart battery , I have smart batteries from spektrum and traxxas and while they are easier to charge it's not worth the price... I bought them when I first got into the hobby but would never buy a smart battery again..

[@tyronparke5410]

Hello

[@TheRcSaylors]

Hello!! 👍⚓😎

[@53rdcards]

I picked up a big rock a few months ago when my golden retriever could easily outrun the 12428, i wanted something fast enough to keep up with him, but could also corner better then shorter body rc vehicles, i was looking heavily at the granite and the pirates 3, least till the one you reviewed started singing "you picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel" of the ones i looked at the big rock was the only one that had the ground clearance, speed, and ability to take turns at speed. Have loved it ever since. Really like the looks of the body on it, my only wish is, that arrma had included lights in the body where they should be, i'm kind of a prude when it comes to where the lights are placed, if it has a body with stickers where lights should be, just go ahead and add the lights, don't put zero lights, and don't lame out and put them only on the bumpers. spend the extra nickle of manufacturing to give us proper lights. (steps off soapbox)

[@BillKisel]

Not challenging you.. I can understand a wider wheelbase improving cornering but don't understand how a longer wheelbase would improve the cornering. I have a Granite BLX that wheelies to easily on 3s (I run it now mostly on 2s) and would consider the Big Rock as my next RC truck. BTW, I got my first hobby grade RC, a Granite Mega, about two years ago to mainly exercise my Golden Doodle. Sadie loves chasing the Mega and the BLX (which I got later) and quickly learned how to right a turned over truck so she can continue the fun. She easily outruns the Granite BLX on 2s but not on 3s. [Half the time she runs ahead of the truck as if racing it as opposed to chasing the truck.]

[@53rdcards]

@@BillKisel It does seem counter intuitive i'll admit, before i purchased the bigrock, i tested a friends granite, really liked it, but i noticed it was pretty flip prone when turning at speed, and watching other youtube vids kinda backed it up so i took a chance (mainly cause i liked the body more) when i got it we ran both through some tests, speed wise they are pretty much the same, turning the granite beats the big rock in tightness of turns, but, the big rock can take the turns at higher speed without rolling. the only thing we could come up with is, the big rock is more scale to a real vehicle, where the granite is closer to a box, for its wheel placement, means it can corner at lower speeds much tighter than the big rock, but at higher speeds the big rock can make the turn when the granite cant without flipping . Could be nothing more that the longer wheel base makes for wider turns so your not cutting as much of a angle. Should also note that when i say wider, i dont mean hugly wider turns, but its enough that i can max out the wheel and run full out with the throttle at 75% rate and it never roll, take it up to 100% and it will start rolling, but my friends granite we had to hold back on the throttle at the 75% rate to keep it from rolling in turns. When your dog is chasing it, its enough of a difference to keep the fun going. Hopefully my golden will be able to figure out how to flip one back over, when i use the 12428 at night, if it flips he just barks at it. Had a german shepherd once who was not a fan of rc chasing, i had a turbo fast traxx back then, he would pick it up and flip it on its back.

[@BillKisel]

@@53rdcards I can definitely see that wider turns would mean less rolling in the turns. Did you notice the Big Rock being less wheelie prone than the Granite?

[@53rdcards]

@@BillKisel Much less, you have to have the rate at 100% and gun it on before it will do a decent wheelie, on dirt or grass it wont hold one for more that a second or two

[@whome7004]

Nate, Abby, when I come around Yes I was abit excited about seeing a drone that was a joke not your doing at all and everytime I see a new air craft, from a cub to one of the Amazing jets that had me bouncing around thinking oh my gosh I going to get myself one of those and it will be so!!! Reality go through my mind, like every other airplane I've had,if I get it off the ground before destruction well it's not long in to that first bit of air I'm kinda flying through, because if it is off the ground it is flying, but honestly under my control well,yes if Im talking about owner ship of the control,but so far 5out of 5 times I have successfully turn a working aircraft into many many parts of non flying parts, most bent, broken,or I'm like oh I can fix this No Not Really,I love the Sky but I don't think it likes me! Or could be never had one bit of help,or anyone that had a basic understanding of any knowledge about flying around , didn't even no a human to call on the phone ! Sol,think my efforts to try to figure it out with good old utub could explain the reason I am like the voice seemingly everyplace on utub talking about rc , possibly because I've tried to belong or be part of something that is like part of me! People like y'all Essential RC Captain Drone, are the only people I know (know off truthfully)that do not constantly tell me I'm wasting time, money and know my breath! True I'm to old I will be 40 tomorrow 21st Dec, and I can not work,"I'm lucky to be alive" That's really quite funny to be alive you must be living this I am not, I got my problems,and I have people that have promised to help me get to living but there is always something in front of help with Getting my Driver's license back,7 year,! You two are so good for the RC hobby because, there is no bull, for some one like myself that it has taken this long to figure out that's the reason y'all are great I Believe you are I know truth is what I hear. Y'all are young still Believe me when I tell mid life crisis is real and Im feeling it's panic, questioning everything in my life except the people I believe in people from utub are the ones my life has given me to trust! Probably wondering what has my saying this from out of nowhere, I want some one to understand me, people so" Bright,smart, good with words think they understand me,they can't put together taking a 5year old to see the RC Airplanes that never took off because that's not why we were there, some one was trying to look good in front of family members to who would become my step mom but it left a impression on someone me,! It tickals them pink making fun of someone who wasn't sure they thought I was alive for 20 year! First Family of RC I wish I didn't put all this hear,If I could understand why I probably wouldn't but I'm just now putting things together from way back so any place I'm at and I can make these connection I have to do it, I hope to be able to go forward Thank you very God Bless, Marry Christmas
