I Built The World's BEST Cheap Brushless Arrma Fury!

[@SmoochieMcgoo]

Back in the day, there was a KZbinr who's channel name was... Ultimate RC, I think? His logo was yellow and green and I think his name was Chang, Yan, Jang, something like that. He stopped making videos and I feel the hobby has needed someone like him to fill in the shoes that he left. There are many content creators in the RC hobby these days, but none have matched the quality of his content. Until you. Keep up your amazing job. Change nothing! Keep doing what you do, the same way you're doing it!

[@DoRC]

It's awesome to hear you say that because URC was one of the main inspirations for this channel!

[@SnarkyRC]

His name is Jang. UltimateRC was the best. He does Lego reviews now.

[@JT-6s]

If someone would’ve asked me about the Voltage in mid 2023, I would’ve told them I considered it to be a dying platform by Arrma. A few redesigns and a year later, good on Arrma for proven me wrong.

[@DoRC]

Yeah I think if they had stuck with the original basic voltage it probably would have died but this platform shares nothing with that original design other than the basic external look.

[@alantaylor353]

It kinda looks like a Voltage but as far as I know they share nothing either externally or internally. I don't think the Voltage could handle brushless power very well.

[@DoRC]

@@alantaylor353 That's exactly right. They share the same basic form factor but I don't think they share any parts in common

[@JT-6s]

@@alantaylor353 Yeah, my point wasn’t that Arrma just slapped some new bodies on the Voltage. Rather, I’m impressed they took the time to invest in a redesign and improve the entire concept of the Voltage. From an entry level 2wd, center beam, 10th scale into an upgradable and much more robust version.

Very cool. These 2wd rc’s are a lot of fun.

[@DoRC]

Yeah I'm starting to get more and more into them.

[@n00b247]

5:25 Well 2 cents off 1 car differential in 1 million cars shipped is 20000 dollars. Some guy at the factory got himself a new used 2021 real car. Also, they can save some money by selling the roller without motor/esc/battery/receiver/transmitter to save that extra 2 cents. I like it brushed, but not 3slot 14T Nimh brushed. Even I will swap that 40 amp esc for 1060 or 1080g2. But you are right on that one: quality and durability should be a main priority and not only in the RC world. Great detailed in-depth review as usual.

[@DoRC]

Yeah I would gladly pay the extra whatever it costs for them to put fluid in the differential. Grease is fine as long as you never plan on doing anything with it but It really sucks if you have to get all that out of there to put fluid in. I almost rather they just leave it dry and let us put whatever we want in it but of course you can't have that.

[@n00b247]

@@DoRC Also yes, roller with dry differential and maybe even empty shocks. I kinda like mine filled with the thinnest oil available for "pinball" mode, but I get it why most people hate it.

[@barbedwirerat661]

The grease makes sense to me; I bet most of these trucks live and die with the diff never getting cracked open since this is an entry-level truck. You want those gears to stay lubricated for the expected life of the truck, and grease in a sealed diff ain't going anywhere!

You can use the body posts from the Senton/Granite etc to fit aftermarket bodyshells.! I've just fitted a cut down 1/10 Big Rock bodyshell to my Gorgon using the Big Rock bodyposts.

[@DoRC]

I'm not sure that will work as well here given that this doesn't use the same system to mount the body posts. It uses notches and tabs. You could probably still make it work though.

[@AllInRc1971]

Knowing what I did with one of my Gorgons, I will go full stupid on my red Fury. The 2 in 1 mounting fits the 6s/8s Traxxas ESCs perfectly. As do the 540XL motors. Time to get busy. Once again, amazing review and by far the best out there, Talbot kills them so I don't have to. You take them apart so I don't have to.

Hot Racing makes a 15mm aluminum motor spacer to make that HW motor fit. Only issue you might run into is the shaft then being to short. I had to flip my pinion around and put it on the very end of the shaft. It's hung on since before Christmas tho. I'm running a 100a 4000kv Spektrum combo in my Gorgon. The motor isn't recommended for 3s but it's run on it for nearly a year. It makes the Gorgon stupid fun.

For the $169 price i picked up a Senton Boost at my local Hobbytown and since i already own 6 other Arrmas' i will be converting the Senton to a 3s which in my case, i consider the Senton a better truck than this one. I don't like that thin long chassis on the Fury. It is great though to see Arrma still developing affordible new rc vehicles for people getting into the hobby. Great video BTW.

[@DoRC]

I'm actually really liking the thin long chassis. It doesn't have a big dished area for a bunch of crap to get caught up in and it keeps the weight really centralized. It's also nice because it's a dedicated two-wheel drive platform. The boost has four-wheel drive geometry which is never going to be as good as true two-wheel drive geometry.

Seems like it would be A LOT cheaper to get a stock Senton 3s, or a MEGA and upgrade that.. You can even get the Team Associated 70019 Trophy Rat Short Course Truck already brushless for $250 right now, and all of those are more well established platforms.

[@DoRC]

Yeah just depends on what your goals are.

Nice video and very good platform from Gorgon! You say something wrong, these shocks are not on the 4s series, on the 4s they are 15 mm and they are different with an aluminum body, as you well know!

[@DoRC]

Sorry I may not have been clear. I was referring to the fact that the bottoms of the 4S shocks are removed using that special tool as well. They are not identical in design to the 3S ones. You're correct.

[@johnellefa]

The gorgon i wasnt feeling as much, this however? This looks like something i would buy 2 of. More interested in this than the Vorteks. Arrma advertises that the drivetrain is super capable, so i feel like this would be better than the Hpi, Jumpshots (2wd) especially for the price. And for the money i rather this than one of thr Groms Strangely im not a fan of clipless body mounts. Feels like a hassle, but as someone who looses body pins regularly, i get it. What other shocks would you recommend for this? Composite shocks esp of that design can only last so long

[@DoRC]

I would stick with these to see just how long they will last. I've had really good luck with the plastic shocks on the 3S trucks and these shocks are almost identical. In the application they'll probably be fine.

Looks like it stays on its wheels much better than the boost platform Senton, which this appears to have replaced, but I’m still not a fan of that granite voltage style chassis. I primarily use my rig on a carpet track, so this wouldn’t help me out with no adjustments in height or camber. Looks plenty rugged tho.

[@DoRC]

It's very stable. As far as the chassis keep in mind that even though it looks like the granite voltage it's not the granite voltage. Other than the basic shape the two platforms share nothing in common.
