I’m very upset that I haven’t had this thing but a week and it’s been nothing but nonstop issues Irma technical support is a joke, they don’t have a phone number you can call and you have to pay to ship it back for warranty even if it breaks the same day you bought it

So essentially all the 3s arrmas are the same underneath the hood ? Gears and pinions ? So tire size in thought shouldn’t make a difference but other smaller things can add up like design and torque relative to the overall size , wheel width and length . I’m having a hard time choosing . I would like any of them and , thinking vorteks , thinking big rock, thinking granite and typhon . I’d say typhon looks like the smoothest driver but I like to go over fresh cut grass and backyards . I think it will do it but the big rock has to do it best if I’m looking at the wheel base and all seems more wheels down to me .

Live mine , the added weight of the chassis Is nice over the rustler keeps it planted and stock heavier weight shock oil. Also the stiffer side walls and tires in general feel great. Mesh was too loose out of the box imo. Def a great fun RC want to try prolines because theyll balloon and give more control in the air possibly. Hoping bodies are avail soon.

Vorteks comes stock with 18T pinion. This is only possible because of the heatsink and fan. Even only without the fan the Vorteks would be overgeared. For Comparison: The Typhon 3S which got the same motor, is way lighter and has way smaller tires...and comes stock with 15T !!! So actually the Vorteks should have come stock with 13T Pinion to be save from overheating. Well, as he said, going over 18T for offroad bashing is suicide:)

For you sir. Senton or vorteks i cant decide what to get. I am kinda leaning for vorteks because i think overall in different type of road and terrain vorteks has the edge than the senton. But senton is i like the design bexause the wheel is in inside but its too small
@AMain_Hobbies
@AMain_Hobbies 2 жыл бұрын
From our experience, the Senton is a great truck but probably not as capable, or as proficient in rougher terrain as the Vorteks; the Vorteks is wider, with a bigger stance and offers more stability. The Senton Short Course Truck style is great for smoother surfaces and it's especially good for racing, because the tires under the body allow more "bumping and rubbing" and provides exciting racing. Vorteks on the race track will probably be less exciting, although it will perform well. Hope this helps Emsky! -Brett

​@@Clavitz1 I absolutely love my rustler! In terms of how much it breaks, not much. I have the vxl 4x4 version, so I can't say anything about the non vxl or even 2wd, but my car doesn't break much. I've had it for a little bit over a year, and I've only broken 2 a-arms, (they weren't even that broken) 2 shock caps, (I upgraded to gtr shocks, and they're amazing) and both of my bumper braces. I mean the piece that supports the front bumper, and the piece that holds on the wheelie bar. I've also stripped three spur gears, but that was because of self-righting mode. It never seems to work for me, and only strips my spur gear. Overall, though, I definitely recommend the rustler, and the rumors that it breaks a lot are mostly false. I am however, a relatively cautious driver. Not wimpy, but not willing to do something stupid if it looks like I might break my car. Sorry for the long comment, I just had to do the rustler justice. lol

Yeah, good question. They belong to our local retail hobby store and i'm been trying to find out where they came from too, but they were purchased years ago by employees who are no longer with us, so it's hard to find out. They're nice little plastic ramps that look like they were made for BMX or skateboarding but it's hard to say. -Brett

Get a serpent 1/8 Srx8 pro ebuggy, and race it! Or... get the RTR and upgrade it to race spec! I want to see some race car action, and upgrade/reviews! I race serpent 1/8 buggy and truggy, and they are way under known about. They are some of the best rc's on the market. Great video as usual Brett!

How can the vent hole in the tire be helpful? Seems to me that water would now get into the foam. Watching you put it through it's paces shows it can take a bashing without breaking. OutsourcedRC had a few issues with it. I'm getting a different feel for this RC Truck now.

The tire vent hole allows the water to escape, where a wheel vent hole doesn't. When driving in water, water will get inside regardless of where the vent hole is. So by having the vent hole on the tire, on the outside, centrifugal force will push the water out of the tire vent hole, and help the tire/foam dry faster and last longer - in theory. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies, If you plug the vent holes that come on the inside, doesn't that keep water out of the foam? Isn't the point to keep the water out of the foam in the first place? Those holes on the outside will allow water to get in.

​@@robertwren2289 The point, from our perspective, is helping people prevent ruining good tires. Honestly, water is safe for foams, but leaving the foam wet is not. It's not a water issue, it's a drying out issue. When the vent hole is on the wheel, water can easily get in but cannot easily escape. With the vent hole is on the tire, the water cannot easily enter, but it can very easily escape. It's just two different methods to achieve the same goal - prolonging the life of the tire. I didn't believe it myself at first, but vent holes on the tires (for high-performance vehicles) works really well to eject moisture, dust and any pebbles that would otherwise sandpaper down the foam. -Brett

The largest battery with the removable plastic block removed is 158mm, that's with the battery right up against the rear transmission housing. At the front their is no more space at all to be had.

You shouldn't have to replace any motor bearings in the Arrma motors. If the bearings are going bad, it's a sign the customer is abusing the vehicle above the intended use. All those big jumps make for cool KZbin videos, but it's a great way to prematurely ruin your vehicle. -Brett
