Nice RC Ebay SCORE!...This Thing is Awesome!

[@Wyamike734]

Good buy, nice looking truck. Thanks for the video be safe.

[@TandTRC]

Appreciate that 😎👊

[@OGRCFanatic]

Awesome score for you. I got the green one late last year. And even new, I had no problem paying $329 for this thing from my LHS. On 2s it’s a blast. On 3s it’s an absolute wheelie machine! And man is it built tough. Enjoy it, I’m positive you will! And those foams are factory and so are the tires. Mine has the same. They’re awesome tires for this car. And one bit of advice, which you won’t need because I see like me, you use the spektrum smart batteries for your Arrma cars. But using aftermarket batteries in this thing will significantly shorten your drive time. My LHS had a young kid working when I bought mine. He recommended a power hobby 3s battery because it was nearly half the price of the spektrum battery. I trusted him, and every time I drove it, the car hit LVCO every time after only driving like 4-5 minutes! After serious investigation, I realized the battery was the problem. Bought the spektrum, and have never had that problem since.

[@TandTRC]

Good to know. I thought about the battery situation for a while but decided to stay with the Spektrum stuff for my Arrma cars. This thing is really sweet for sure. I would have definitely paid the full price.

[@Rc-Krazy]

They come standard with foam

[@TandTRC]

Good to know.😎👊

[@christopherm8215]

You got a great deal on this, i had this exact truck in green and gave it to my buddy for his first rc as I found myself driving my senton blx more(just jumps so much better) but $190 is awesome and the cogging is normal from my experience with really all sensorless motors they cogg at low speed. Nice video and a great buy. One last note the chassis armor imho is just a waste of money these little chassis themselves are super durable and if you do ever break it parts are cheap and tinkering is all part of the hobby which i love. Keep the vids coming man really loving thse rc reviews.

[@TandTRC]

Appreciate that, brother!😎👊

[@tommylitchfield3450]

Tools, this one is by far my favorite so far! That larger scale looks WAAAYYY more controllable, at least on camera. And it's gots many mo' power than the previous little monster truck on the ramps. I thought you was gonna completely send it all the way outta the skate park. When you get the shocks dialed in like that fantastic setup on my previous favorite that had just perfect suspension, you will be ready to make some 1/10th scale berms on your track!

[@TandTRC]

Definitely a whole different feel than the small ones. I could definitely break some stuff at that skate park.😂

[@almatraart]

Another awesome video

[@TandTRC]

Thank you sir.😎👊

[@scarifrougeone7225]

1/10 scale is a great all around scale RC. It will work that track in nicely. I used my Traxxas Rustler to work in a “D” shape oval as well. Liked your comments on the skid plate breaking off made 😂. Arrma is definitely tough. Good to see you running that Granite on all the different types of surfaces. Good stuff. Keep on rollin! 🏁🇺🇸🏎️😎

[@TandTRC]

Definitely liking the larger scale.😎👊

[@g54b95]

Two of Brian's biggest pet peeves: Tires without foam inserts and underpowered 10mm.

[@TandTRC]

😂 You're not wrong!

[@MysticRiverRC]

Sweet deal! And that truck runs smooth! New sub. Cheers!

[@TandTRC]

Thank you sir. Appreciate that!😎👊

[@2LocosRCing]

Tip: the slipper clutch loosens over time and eventually you'll Hear the motor revving but truck want go. Pull the center drive shaft out put you a driver in the splind shaft that goes to the trans ( dont remember the size driver) roll the truck tell the back tires lock and it's good to go 💪👍. Ive had my granite blx for 3yrs and it's a very tough RC. The cogging is normal, stock tires have foam. I went through 3 sets of the stock tire cuz they have a tendency to explode 😆🙄 switch to proline Badlands.

[@TandTRC]

😎👊

[@weilandlawncareservice5592]

Just had a rear tire on my Granite BLX 3S explode today. Ripping up a dirt hill under full power it just peeled a chunk off. Have only had the truck a week and run it hard. It’s tough for sure. Also upgraded the plastic slipper clutch gear to steel one as I had the plastic teeth sheer off. Love this truck!

[@chazzy1237]

That baby has a lot of torque!!!!!!

[@TandTRC]

Yeah it does.

[@morganyates6598]

The granite is absolutely solid rc! The typhon is the best handling, jumping all around best 3s arrma rc . You should get one!

[@TandTRC]

I want to preorder one of the new 223s Vorteks or Typhon but I can't decide which one. I was kinda thinking Vorteks for some reason.😆

[@l.a.3887]

Very nice truck .cool video thanks

[@TandTRC]

Thank you sir.😎👊

[@raybo34]

Nice deal on that one. Looks like some good fun too. I can see a groove starting in your track. It's going to be sweet once it wears in good. The skate park needs to be renamed to RC fun park.

[@TandTRC]

I'm starting to think I made that silt fence a little too low on this close turn.😆

[@YellowHammer26]

👍👍Looks like you got a great deal. 🎉🎉

[@TandTRC]

I thought so!😎👊

[@Raven_96001]

Great buy. Love the tshirt. I remember when it happened. Dudes a legend. Thanks bud.

[@TandTRC]

Thank you sir.😎👊

[@infamousrc2536]

I have the same truck and those wheels do come with foams. The groms are the only Arrma cars that don’t come with foams

[@TandTRC]

Ahh, good to know. I was starting to wonder. The truck is sweet.😎

[@user-dt8xy7ig2d]

My thoughts exactly... mount a turret on top them rubber squellers toolz!!!

[@TandTRC]

🤣

[@charlesmorgan1879]

Nice find ! Need banked turns but looks like fun ! Add a up/down hill section maybe...

[@TandTRC]

Yeah, I might need to raise the silt fence up on this close end for a higher bank.

[@MrZachxd]

I am an Arrma fan-boy, that's a great buy!

[@TandTRC]

I'm really impressed with their stuff so far.😎👊

[@MrZachxd]

@TandTRC oh, also the cogging is normal. I have 4 3S arrma vehicles and they all do that

[@TandTRC]

@@MrZachxd Ok cool. Have you ever geared em down with a smaller pinion? Curious to see how that might effect it.

[@MrZachxd]

@TandTRC Only because I put bigger tires on my Senton in an effort to keep the stock gearing ratio. Although, I think I'm going to try gearing down my Big Rock 3s. It likes to get hot in grass. But the Coffing never bothers me.

[@LuckyDog350X]

Congrats on the smokin deal, nothing wrong with slightly used only so much that can be wrong. 1/10th scale is definitely the sweet spot for the size of your local skatepark Thank You Sir.

[@TandTRC]

Yeah, I gotta get a few of em out there and put em to the test.😎👊

[@6feetunderwater357]

Nice choice & good deal

[@TandTRC]

😎👊

[@Fyxxterzc]

If you liked the granite, you'd love the big rock. Granites more for doing flips and air tricks from the short wheel base. The big rock is much more stable. I think the typhon would be even more stable but not sure how it catches air. The mojave and sentons seem to parachute because of the big bodies. All those 3sblx arrmas are fun though. My big rock is hitting 50-53 on 3s on your same wheel and tire setup. They all seem to vary from high 40s to low 50mph on the 3s blx. Plenty of speed for most neighborhoods.

[@TandTRC]

What about the Vorteks? I've actually been looking at preordering either the new 223s Vorteks or Typhon but can't decide.

[@Fyxxterzc]

@TandTRC good question. I'm a buggy guy so would lean more toward the typhon. But the vorteks seems like a good one. Truck wise though I lean hard toward the big rock. What's the vorteks wheelbase in comparison to the typhon and big rock? With the granite you already have the perfect basher and air trick version so skate park all day with that one. Would think the typhon would do best on your short course. Definitely could be wrong there though.

[@harrydickson4575]

Really nice 👍👍👍

[@TandTRC]

😎👊

[@gryphonz3]

Nice score. That skate park looks like a lot of fun. The hard shock on the front might have been too much shock for the skid plate. Maybe it is a bit too hard of plastic and a bit brittle.

[@TandTRC]

I think so. That concrete is brutal.😆

[@Colbbee]

This was a blast!

[@motobator1895]

[@robertmidcalf2420]

The onboard camera is so good on this one, it looks like a video game! You should see if you can get a Speedo and tacho to come up on screen 😂

[@TandTRC]

I was actually thinking that exact same thing. I think there is some way to do it with this camera.

[@edwardperkins9949]

I’m not familiar with the “prebuilt” vehicles but in the build kits (Tamiya) I replace the bearings with a quality metal bearing. It gives you increased speed and life of the bearing. Let me know! Remember, “Happy Wife, Happy Life”. Translates into more gun and RC money. lol 😂

[@TandTRC]

A lot of em do still come with bushings instead of bearings in some areas. This one seems to have nice sealed bearings throughout. The little TRX4M's I have needed a full bearing conversion.

[@ronniesrc]

My bash armor for my big rock did the same exact thing and drove it one time and that front skid plate broke off it pulled through the screws, but I got it warranty and they sent me a whole new bash armor. I got in touch with Horizon Hobby it took me two weeks of going back-and-forth with them, but they did send me a new one. I think they need to look into that.

[@TandTRC]

Good to know it wasn't just me.😆 I hate dealing with warranty stuff, but I might call em up to see what they say.

[@ronniesrc]

@ the front piece you can buy by itself for cheap. I think it’s just a few bucks, but I figured since it broke so easy they should warrant it so I went through the warm stage mainly for the principle.

[@bigshoe84ify]

I think the cogging at low speeds is due to it being a sensor less motor and esc. Sensored would be smoother but it’s used more in rock crawling type applications where precision is more important.

[@TandTRC]

Makes sense.😎👍

[@brandiwynter]

I wish I could get replacement bodies of different styles for my Stampede. You're making me want a nicer 4x4 damn you!!!🤬😁

[@TandTRC]

😂

[@jordankelly5250]

I hope it's more reliable than my son's (11yrs old). He worked for the last year saving all his money and bought his all by himself. He then could barely run it for more than a day without the motor burning up. Local HobbyTown was absolutely awesome, and worked on it constantly to figure out what was wrong. They couldn't find anything out of the ordinary with the electronics or anything. Went through 5 motors on it before I took everything out of it and replaced it with all Traxxas stuff that I had laying around. It now runs perfectly and has no problems.

[@holliswhite1494]

😂😂😂 lies

[@TandTRC]

So far so good with this one.

[@jordankelly5250]

@TandTRC Yeah, everyone at the store was completely lost. They said they've never had anything like that happen with the Arrma stuff before, and they have such good reviews. It's just some crazy one off it seems

Hell yeah, buddy, hopefully you took advantage of that big horizon hobby sale this past week. You start needing oem replacement parts hit up jennys rc.

I'll check them out for sure. I'm thinking about preordering one of the new 223s Vorteks. Should have a Mini Maxx to pick up soon too.😆

[@bhardison1869]

@@TandTRC arrma is teasing a picture for a new/updated 1/8 scale 6s version vehicle for next week to come out.

[@boduke9428]

​@@bhardison1869I'm really really really hoping it's a 1/6 scale 8s vehicle I really want a 8s Typhon exb. I do think your theory is likely correct though. I'm just not sure what they else they need in the 6s line. My only guess is a rtr 6s Outcast exb to match the Kraton. They've got about everything else covered already in 6s.

[@bhardison1869]

@boduke9428 probably a Talion, they discontinued most of the 6s line up. Exb Outcast, exb Talion, exb mojave, finally brought the updated exb Kraton 6s out a few months ago, and the Big rock 6s. Time to update the rest of the 6s line, the non exb vehicles are old as dirt and outdated.

[@RCBasherLiMa]

I used to watch you for ammo now RC cars lmao

[@TandTRC]

Appreciate that! it's all fun!😎👊

[@boduke9428]

That slap is no big deal. The chassis slap is kinda a safety feature. They're made to take it. Adding pre load really won't help. You still got the same spring rate and amount of travel. It'll just make it more bouncy on smaller hits usually. Spacers are only useful for adjusting ride height it seems to me.

[@TandTRC]

Yeah, I'll probably end up upgrading the shocks and putting some thicker weight oil and stiffer springs all around. I hate the slap.😆

[@brandiwynter]

Yeah, my tires are foamless and occasionally have blowouts. Mines more of a beginner set up though.

[@TandTRC]

I was surprised this had foams in it.

[@manchildrc]

That was the first Arrma I ever had and I got mine used as well. It was much better than the Stampede in my opinion.

[@TandTRC]

Lovin this one. Now I'm trying to decide between the new 223s Typhon and Vorteks.😆

[@manchildrc]

@@TandTRC I am a fan of the Typhon over the Vortek. Mostly because I think the Typhon does nearly as well on pavement with a quick tire change as it does on the dirt. But you can't go wrong either way.

[@TandTRC]

@@manchildrc Maybe I should just get em both to compare.😆

[@manchildrc]

@@TandTRC spoken like a true rc addict 😎

[@brandiwynter]

I'd like a truck like that with an Exoskeleton. It would look awesome and help with crashes. I don't think anyone makes such a truck though and it would probably be prohibitively expensive if they did.

[@TandTRC]

Integy does make one for this! I was actually looking at it a couple days ago. I just wonder how much impact it could take without bending.

[@daledavis8093]

I bought the 3s Big Rock, there tires come with foam in them

[@TandTRC]

Good to know. I know back when I was first into RC, everything pretty much came with foam. I guess the small scale stuff I got first this time had me thinking everything was no foams now.

[@OGRCFanatic]

You sure your remote on the back is set to 100% power? That seems slower than mine on 3s. It’s nearly impossible to keep the front tires on mine on the ground when I drive it 😂

[@TandTRC]

It is on 100% but I just realized the punch setting is on 3 from stock. I'm gonna boost that up and see what it feels like.😆

Tower hobbies has it less than 300$ new I think it's 279$ scratch and dent sale. Gorgon is 120$-135$ with batts brand new. The new arrmas coming out blow the new Traxxas away. Price and speed arrma always is a lil faster out of the box. I would pay arrma prices new over any 3s let's say jato or stampede 500$+ no way I'll ever spend that.
