Nice review. There are those of us who like to tinker and experiment so I still appreciate the brushed models.

[@norrisdustlessblasting4507]

Picked up two of these last Christmas for cheap. I think under 150 apiece. Going with this set up looks fun. Thanks again bro

[@MannyGunzz]

I just painted a2021 mustang body for this mega man it looks awesome... Great video at always

[@shannoncold]

I really do like that body, was thinking of doing this when I saw the mega. Thanks so much for doing this awesome video.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Any time! Yeah one of the best bodies around. Nobody would give this release a second look if it wasn't for the body.

[@rcbustanut2057]

Lol, yup... This is why I held off from getting one till just now. They have a 50% off sale going till the end of July, $150 & free shipping! I listed the controller & receiver, brushed esc on ebay & chucked the crappy servo. Gonna be slapping a Castle Monster Mamba X 6S esc & 2200kv motor. Change the gearing to 50S/20P & now you have a basher with balls lol.

[@shaunescarlett.1]

Great Video 🙏🏻 Not available over here in the UK yet, about a week away now i believable, I’m going to buy one but rip electrics straight out & replace with a Hpi 4s set up that i have here in my RC Room ! Should be intresting, Stay Safe Buddy 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@astridsactionrc545]

I chose this one BECAUSE it’s brushed. I don’t have a large space to run it, so I didn’t want one that was too fast. I’m happy with it.

[@RCReviewChannel]

The Kyosho Fazer MkII cars are wayyyyy more interesting brushed cars. Stunning bodies and $240 price point. snp.link/892c3fac

[@jaypizzle31]

I’d love to see you do a shootout between this and the Associated Hoonigan. Similar scale and the AE is brushless. I have yet to get an Arrma but I’m definitely considering it even though I’m very much already invested in Associated products. Please, please, pleeeeeaaase…

[@thisishowiedewitt76]

You’re the mountain bike guy! I like that channel too.

[@RCReviewChannel]

I appreciate that!

[@4x4erik]

Dude, its on sale for $150 at Horizon right now. Thats definitely worth it imo.

[@Bonecollector-ln6qk]

Just got a couple for me and my nephew they’re 150 a pop right now

[@NANNIRC]

Well done! This car has a great potential and it would be nice to see it on a proper track as spin and speed are ok but what about driving? (not on oval). Ciao Nanni

[@brendagarbutt-ys6qu]

Looking good 👍. You kept the stock mega spur and pinion installed ?

[@elijahwoodward3404]

What speeds are you getting out of it now? Great video!

[@danhadley2930]

Awesome video what size pinion you using?

[@Sackmatters]

Spring is right around the corner here and I’m needing a road rig. This might be it.

[@RCReviewChannel]

snp.link/892c3fac Kyosho brushed or brushless options

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

The vendetta tires are great for the street too

[@isidrogonzales5289]

The stock Vendetta tires have lasted me about 5 packs and still have some tread. Running a gens Ace 6800 mah 150c bash battery.

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

This is right on time! Sitting here with all needed components and not sure if worth it

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yup yup. Worth it if there's already a brushless motor sitting around. Otherwise the Vendetta or the mad van may be better.

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

@@RCReviewChannel I have the Mad Van VE! One of the best values available right now!

[@derricksazrc3411]

I burned the esc up with 3s. I’m about to do this soon also. The clutch is strong enough too.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Thanks for the share.

[@brandonreinsalu339]

Hi. Newb here. How come you recommend 3300 kv over 4000kv?

[@MrKillerhaze]

I’m definitely leaning tours this car and making 6s myself for less then 200 lol 😂 cause buying the original comes out to 720 with taxes when you can get this one and with 450 you be gold 😅

Why would I give more money to HH/Arrma/Spektrum if there are other, much better options for ESC and motor?

[@VTECH650]

just got mine as soon as the stock motor goes im putting the 105 dollar firma system did you put a brace on the motor mount

[@RCReviewChannel]

No brace. I don't think it's needed.

[@MannyGunzz]

I would put a center drive line speed bearing tho...

[@HaulinAzzzovs]

I really like this truck. There are just too many other rc related things that I’d rather spend my money on. Feel that way about a lot of Arrma’s price points actually.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yup. Value is gonna be key moving forward.

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

I actually enjoy it with the brushed setup. But I do have the MAX10 with 3200kv motor ready to go.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Good to hear.

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

@@RCReviewChannel I’ve been hitting really small ramps etc with it. Bashing it around. It’s time for more power though 😎🤠

[@SengLeeKoh]

or get the hpi/maverick QuantumR Flux 4S for 399

[@jimbo4203]

Ready to upgrade means ... currently sucks ! That's funny

[@Victic005]

Just get the limitless and slap on some old off road electronics. Use used 1/8 scale buggy wheels and tires.

[@allmightygreat1892]

Plastic gears, turn buckles, drive shaft, diff housing. Show us how it self destructs .

[@runnerbaba]

i dont know if your telling the truth.

[@whitenas]

He is correct. All plastic

[@fishnrc294]

Most brand RTR ‘s come with crappy electronics Arrma’s RC come with spectrum electronics which is much better. But I still can’t understand how we continue to buy RTR’s that need immediate electronic upgrades. Especially Traxxas why do they continue to use their junk. For the price of these vehicles you shouldn’t have to replace so much.And your 400$ dollar expensive RC becomes a 1000$ dollar expensive RC! I’d like to see painted versions ready to go but without electronics. I just don’t have the time to paint etc. So no clear bodies assembled except for the electronics. Or have models with price points with aftermarket upgrades.

[@whitenas]

Metal gears? Metal diffs? Have you checked? My 3s brushless has none of that. All plastic.

[@S40TBS]

What a rip off not worth it

[@ragsixracing]

arrma is kind of a joke for releasing this at 320$. should have the 3s in it for 320ish, or 229 ish with the brushed version. every manufacturer is offering coupons now at amain because of low sales. this bad price point shows silly decisions by people in charge that dont live in our real world. is this the start of the next vast decline in rc??? these prices just dont make sense...

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yes, very dissapointed here as well. Hope it doesn't alienate their fans but seems like low sales/interest on this one in stock form.
