Arrma Cars Reviews

If you think that the Outcast is too overpriced and you want a cheaper alternative, then, the Arrma Notorious V5 is the one you’re looking for!

Actually, it’s hard to distinguish between the Arrma Notorious V5 and the Outsacst since they look like until you see the details.

In addition to that, a lot of people see the Arrma Notorious V5 as a better alternative for the Outcast since you can have a lot of features as well as a great performance at a less expensive price.

Not to mention that the Arrma Notorious V5 got some updates over the V4.

Well, It this really true? Will you have more value on the Notorious than the Outcast? Is it really worth it? What about the V5? Is it worth it?

These are the questions that we will answer in the next few lines…

Arrma Notorious Design

Arrma Notorious Body

If you’re familiar with the Arrma Outcast or have seen our full review of it, you’ll notice that the Arrma Notorious V5 has the same body as the Outcast. This is if you didn’t think that they’re the same RC car.

However, there is something about the Arrma Notorious body that you won’t find in the Outcast, it’s the paint.

In fact, the paint of the Arrma Notorious V5 body can be scratched quickly, this technique is done on purpose so when you scratch it, it will look like a metal body that is realistic. Especially that this body is more classic than the one on the Outcast.

The Arrma Notorious body comes in two colors, Black and Blue, the paint is simple with no graphics all over it except for the sides on the doors precisely.

The front

When it comes to the front, it’s almost like the Outcast, it’s more classic though, there are some additional curves there that give you the feeling that this is a 90s design.

The headlights also are different, they’re more like normal rectangular ones with a small grill in the middle.

On top of the hood, there are two clips linked to the body so that when you take them off, they stay connected to the body to avoid losing them.

In the middle top of the body, you’ll see the strongest roll bar on any RC car, the same roll bar comes with the Outcast. This roll bar is so important since it absorbs all the shocks to protect the body as much as possible.

There are no skids to give that extra protection to the top which is disappointing, but the roll bar is doing a great job.

The Rear

When it comes to the rear of Arrma Notorious body, you’ll see those two other clips as well as that big wing that we can’t ignore of course.

By the way, this spoiler is not connected to the body, but to the chassis.

So, if you’re looking at the body alone, you’ll see that it’s so simple, just some redlight stickers on the back.

Overall, the Arrma Notorious V5 body is the same as the Arrma Notorious V4, nothing has changed.

There were some changes in other areas of the RC car that we will talk about in the next sections.

Other than that, this body is well designed and unique especially regarding the painting technique to add a more realistic look to it.

Arrma Notorious V5 Chassis

Here is the thing about the Arrma Notorious V5 chassis, it looks almost like the Chassis of the Outcast.

What makes the difference is the width of this chassis. In fact, the chassis of the Outcast is wider than the one of the Arrma Notorious V5.

Also, some details are different of course.

The front

As mentioned earlier, the chassis of the two RC cars are almost the same, except for some details like the front.

The Arrma Notorious V5 comes with the same bumper, but there are no braces after it to add more security to the suspension system.

There is a small space though between the shock and the suspension arms, so it might be enough to handle the pressure of the crash.

Right after that, comes the shocks and the suspension arms, they look the same in the building and the structure as the Outcast.

They’re connected to the shock tower which is adjustable in case you want to have an aftermarket body.

The great thing about this chassis is the protection that is providing it for the internal parts. On each side in the front, two big bumpers prevent the mud and dust thrown from the wheels from entering.

The chassis of the Arrma Notorious V5 is a metal chassis, it s hard to bend if you’re jumping high, you can even support it with another metal layer to increase its life span.

In the middle of the chassis, you’ll notice that the Arrma Notorious V5 is not the same as the V4, they’re totally different.

In fact, now you can’t distinguish between the chassis of the Outcast and the one of the Notorious V5. It’s hard except if you see the size.

As you know, there is a passing bar taking all the way from the front to the rear, it’s not divided in the middle, it’s a one-piece like the one on the Kraton 8s. This bar is supported in the middle.

What’s different than the Outcast is the other two bars that meet in the middle of the chassis, they’re not Aluminum, they’re built-in plastic.

Other than that, the Arrma Notorious V5 comes with all the internal parts that any other RC car comes with including a motor, an ESC, a servo, and a receiver as well as others.

We will talk more about these parts in the performance section.

Buy the Notorious V5

The Rear

In general, the rear part of the chassis has the same structure as the font except for the suspension arms that come as double in the front while there is just one suspension arm in the rear for each wheel.

The spoiler of the Arrma Notorious V5 is so huge. It is similar to the one on the Infraction and the Outcast perfectly fits the body and gives it a great look.

And we can’t forget the wheelie bar that is hiding under that big spoiler, it’s the same position as the wheelie bar of the Outcast to make your RC car able to go on a 90° degree! (You should have some skills to do that!)

Other than that, the Arrma Notorious V5 chassis is incredibly built despite having less protection and reliability than the Outcast chassis.

Arrma Notorious V5 Performance

The Arrma Notorious V5 is an off-road RC car that you can drive in-road as well.

It can reach up to 60mph using a Spektrum™ Firma™ 4074 2050Kv Brushless Motor, Spektrum Firma 150A Smart ESC with 6s Lipo battery and an S652 Digital Servo.

To run at 60mph, you need to replace the pinion gear with the one that comes in the box with the car.

You can run the Arrma Notorious V5 on a 4s Lipo battery if you want to limit the top speed and the acceleration as well.

The motor comes with no fan or heatsink, maybe because it doesn’t have any heating problem, or, you should have one to prevent damage.

Unlike the Outcast, the Arrma Notorious V5 doesn’t come with a lot of different versions, the only version that is available in this one we’re reviewing, there is no EXB version that comes with no electronics either.

This means that this RC car is ready-to-run.

Here are some more details about this RC car:

Arrma Notorious V5

Max Speed: 60mph (97Km/h)

Spektrum™ Firma™ 4074 2050Kv Brushless Motor

Spektrum™ Firma™ 150A Smart ESC

What’s new? Arrma Notorious V5 vs V4

As we’re reviewing the Arrma Notorious V5, we mentioned some new updates and changes that occurred in the new version like the new body, the new chassis as well as the change of some electronics.

The biggest changes though were in the chassis as well as the electronics, this means that the performance has also changed to be better, stronger, and faster which is true!

The first thing that you’ll notice when comparing the Arrma Notorious V5 vs V4 is the change of the material of the chassis from plastic to aluminum which is better since it can strengthen and increase the reliability of this RC car.

The other big change that has occurred is at the level of the receiver and the transmitter, these two were supported by Tactic which has changed to Spektrum which is much better.

In general, those were the major updates that made the Arrma Notorious V5 the RC car that we see today, powerful, strong, and reliable.

When it comes to jumps and high altitudes, you don’t need to worry about your Arrma Notorious V5, it’s not like that fat Outcast (Outcast fans, just kidding), in fact, this is a light RC car, so jumping won’t break it, especially that there is a metal chassis down there!

So, just enjoy jumping and back flipping because this is the Arrma Notorious V5 specialty!

Arrma Notorious V5 Transmitter and Receiver

As we mentioned before, the Arrma Notorious V5 transmitter and receiver have been updated from Tactic to Spektrum.

These two are doing a great job and will help you get the most out of your Arrma Notorious V5!

In fact, the receiver is the Spektrum™ SR315 Dual Protocol 3-Channel Receiver which is waterproof. This receiver is able to connect with the SLT and the DSMR which are other types of protocols that help you connect to other transmitters.

The transmitter on the other side is the Spektrum™ SLT3™ 2.4GHz 3-Channel Radio, you can upgrade this transmitter to the DSMR.

This will allow you to unlock some features like the Spektrum Dashboard App where you can see all your RC car’s info like the temperature of the motor as well as the top speed and actual speed.

There is also another cool feature which is the Active Vehicle Control (AVC).

This feature helps you maintain a straight direction when driving your RC car especially off-road where it’s easy to lose control over your Arrma Notorious V5 because of the lack of grip.

In addition to that, you have the ability to control the intensity or the impact of this feature on your RC car using the transmitter.

Other than that, the Arrma Notorious V5 transmitter comes with some beginner-friendly features like the throttle limit where you can limit the acceleration to 50% or 75%.

If you’re a beginner and this is your first RC car, this feature will help you master driving it before unleashing the full power. It’s cool, isn’t it?

Arrma Notorious V5 Upgrades

Each RC car should have some aftermarket parts, and so does the Arrma Notorious V5.

In fact, you can have so many Arrma Notorious V5 upgrades and parts especially the ones built-in Aluminum where you will strengthen the reliability and the handling.

They’re widely available, some of them are expensive, others are cheap, and others are affordable. It depends on the quality you want.

But, in general, the Arrma Notorious V5 parts are really affordable.

You can buy anything like the Aluminum wheelie bar, Aluminum suspension arms, new aftermarket body, shocks, Aluminum gearbox, Aluminum Steering Blocks, and many more…

So, whether you want to upgrade the Arrma Notorious V5 because you want to, or you want o to replace a broken part, you’ll find what you’re searching for easily. No worries about that!

Annoying Things About the Arrma Notorious V5

Actually, the fact that the Arrma Notorious V5 is similar to the Outcast makes you reassured since the Outcast is well known for its reliability, which is a good thing.

The dark side of this fact though is that the Outcast comes with a different version and the most similar version to the Arrma Notorious V5 is the 6s Outcast.

This is a good thing for the company since they will earn money whether you buy this RC car or that one.

However, for you, it may be a little confusing, they have almost the same shape, the same performance, and even the same features.

Maybe the Arrma Notorious V5 is a little cheaper, some of you will decide based on the price, but it’s still confusing for a lot of people!

That’s because the first question that comes to mind is “Why the Arrma Notorious V5 is cheaper than the Outcast while they have a lot of common things!” what’s the difference?

In general, that is a bad side that made me ask myself what’s the reason for creating two similar RC cars for almost the same price.

Still, if I were you, I may choose the Arrma Notorious V5 over the Outcast, otherwise, I would choose the Outcast 8s and not the 6s. I’m spending money anyway, so, why don’t I spend it on the best quality, right?

Other than that, the Arrma Notorious V5 is really a great RC car and you’ll enjoy owning it.

Great Things About the Arrma Notorious V5

Everything that has been said on the Arrma Notorious V5 is great and incredible.

Still, some of the great things that I liked about this RC car is this new update from V4 to V5.

There is a big improvement in terms of performance, handling, and reliability.

So, if you already have an Arrma Notorious V4, you should definitely go to the V5, it’s much better.

The realistic body paint is also something that I see for the first time on an RC car, it’s creative and perfect.

Maybe if you love saving things to stay for a long time with you, you will hate scratching this RC car, but it’s fun at the same time.

Arrma Notorious V5 Price

As mentioned earlier, the price of the Arrma Notorious V5 is affordable especially since it is less than its similar RC car the Outcast 6s.

At this price, you’re almost having the reliability, the performance, and the handling of the Outcast without spending so much money.

So, that’s the bright side about this Arrma Notorious V5 price.

So, Should You Buy It?

Well, as you saw in the review, the Arrma Notorious V5 is an amazing RC car with great features and qualities.

The fact that it has a lot of competitors from the same brand like the Outcast 6s and the Typhon (Even if the Typhon is not in the same category) can make you confused.

What’s special about the Arrma Notorious V5 is those different exclusive features like the realistic body paint which is not available in the Outcast or any other Arrma RC car.

So, if you love these special things, just go ahead and buy the Notorious.

Otherwise, I would consider it within the list of choices, or you can do as I said earlier if you’re spending money anyway, add some more and get the big Outcast 8s, it’s worth it!

So, what do you think? Which one will you buy? The Arrma Notorious V5 or the Outcast?

I would love to see your comments down below!

If you’re a Kraton fan and want to have a better rival with stronger parts and handling, you should definitely check the Arrma Outcast 8s!

We can say that the Arrma Outcast 8s is one of the most powerful RC cars not only in Arrma but in the whole RC car world.

It doesn’t come with the 8s version only, you can get the 6s or even the 4s. However, the smaller the battery, the smaller the size.

So, the Arrma Outcast 8s is the biggest Outcast that you can have.

Also, in comparison to the Kraton 8s that is the base of this RC car we’re reviewing today, the Arrma Outcast 8s comes with a lot of updates.

After all, this, is the Arrma Outcast 8s worth buying especially since the price is high? How fast does it go? And are these new updates good enough?

We will answer all of these questions and more in this article today.

Let’s get started in the next few lines…

Arrma Outcast 8s Design

Arrma Outcast 8s Body

If you’re familiar with Arrma RC cars, the first thing you’ll notice when you see the Arrma Outcast 8s is how similar it is to Arrma Infraction.

Everything is similar even the details like the skids, the rear wings as well as the bars in the rear.

We can say that this is a bigger version of the Arrma infraction’s body with some small changes and upgrades.

When I say bigger, it’s really big, this is a 1/5 scale RC car, which means that it’s even bigger than the Kraton and the Big Rock!

The Arrma Outcast 8s body version comes only with Red color while the other versions like the Arrma Outcast 6s and 4s and even the EXB that comes with no electronics can have other colors like Blue and Black.

The Front

The front Arrma Outcast 8s body looks similar to the of the Infraction, especially in the headlights. They have the same round headlights.

Also, under the headlights, there is a small bumper with the body (I’m not talking about the black one that is a part of the chassis).

The top of the Arrma Outcast 8s is protected by those skids which are perfect to increase the life span of the body.

The Rear

In the rear, right after the skids, there are the support bars, they can increase also the protection as well as the support since they’re connected to the internal cage.

Concerning the spoiler, it does come with the body, it’s connected to the chassis despite looking like it’s a part of the Arrma Outcast 8s body.

In the end, you have a great well-protected body, it doesn’t come with a lot of colors for the 8s version. Also, it doesn’t come with a lot of stickers, it’s just one color-painted body with a few stickers on the sides.

So, for this Arrma Outcast 8s body, it looks cool and incredible, nothing to complain about!

What about the chassis?

Arrma Outcast 8s Chassis

What’s new in the Arrma Outcast 8s Chassis?

As I mentioned earlier, the Arrma Outcast 8s chassis has the same base as the Kraton 8s.

When you first take off the body and see the chassis, you’ll notice how similar the chassis of the Kraton and the Outcast 8s are.

But, the special thing about the Arrma Outcast 8s chassis is the additional upgrades that Arrma has added in order to improve the durability and the handling of this RC beast.

For example, the Kraton chassis comes with a long bar that will definitely draw your attention once you see it, it’s taking from the front to the end of the chassis as support which is really powerful.

However, it can bend quickly after some jumps, this is why n the Arrma Outcast 8s chassis, there are two bars, the first one is taking from the front to the middle while the other is taking from the middle to the end.

The other problem that the Kraton has and was fixed in the Arrma Outcast 8s is the chassis’s bottom metal skid that wasn’t strong enough to hold for the Kraton.

In the Arrma Outcast 8s, they shortened it and gave it more stiffness and support. That’s incredible.

You can add another layer of yours if you want to make sure it won’t bend again!

The chassis is so high than the ground which makes the Arrma Outcast 8s perfect for off-roading which is easy for it. The big wheels and the wide chassis also have a big role in the handling and stability of this RC car.

Buy the 6s Version

Buy the 8s Version

Buy the EXB Version

The Front of the Chassis

When it comes to the front of the chassis, you’ll see a small long bumper with two braces right behind it to increase the protection of the internal parts and the absorption of the shock.

The huge shock towers are made from plastic, still, they’re pretty reliable and can do the job incredibly fine.

What surprised me about the Arrma Outcast 8s is the suspension system, those shocks are really massive and convenient for handling this beast’s weight.

Also, there are double arms for extra support which is perfect.

The Rear of the Chassis

In the rear, there is almost the same structure as the suspension system as well as the shock tower.

The additional thing is the big spoiler that we mentioned earlier. Actually, it’s as big as the one on the Kraton, but, it is shorter.

Whether it’s long or short, it will help with the downforce of the air to create more balance, especially when going at high speed.

Right under the spoiler, there is the wheelie bar, a small one connected to the end of the spoiler.

The great thing I liked about it is the place where it’s located. Why? Because this is a high RC car, placing the wheelie bar in its usual place won’t work at all.

But placing it in the rear of the wing is really a great idea.

Now, you don’t have to worry about the high acceleration of the Arrma Outcast 8s, you can even have fun lifting the front wheels and going that way. It’s really fun.

Regarding the internal parts, they’re all protected by a huge side of the chassis with a big “ARRMA” written on the sides.

Other than that, every single part of this RC car is huge, we will talk more about these parts in the performance section.

Arrma Outcast 8s Performance

Off-Roading Performance

As we wrote earlier in the previous sections, whether you drive the Arrma Outcast 8s on or off-road, you’ll have a lot of fun with it.

These new chassis upgrades have boosted its handling and reliability, so now, you don’t have to worry about breaking this RC beast.

Still, there is one thing that you may break, it’s easy to fix though. It’s the shocks.

Due to the heavy weight that the Arrma Outcast 8s comes with, doing high jumps and landing hard is one of the reasons you can have your shock taken off the suspension arms.

Usually, the rear shocks are the ones that have this problem since the rear of the RC car is the part that gets the highest pressure especially when landing.

Even though the heavy weight of this RC car, the other parts are handling it very well, there is no problem with the chassis bending, not with the central bar or the central driveshaft, everything is perfectly fine.

The shocks are the only problem here. You can fix them by putting them back, OR, you can go for some new upgrades that may be a good solution.

Other than that, the Arrma Outcast 8s is a beast that you should definitely try because you’ll enjoy it so much.

What is the Arrma Outcast 8s Top Speed?

Concerning driving the Arrma Outcast 8s on-road, it’s also a great idea, however, it’s not as exciting as driving off-road and going through water and mud and testing the true abilities of the chassis and the internal parts.

The Arrma Outcast 8s being an 8s gives you automatically the impression that this is a fast RC car which it is.

With a Spektrum™ Firma™ 1250Kv Brushless Motor, Spektrum™ Firma™ 160A Smart ESC and a Spektrum™ S905 Metal-Geared Digital Servo as well as a 2 4s Lipo batteries, the Arrma Outcast 8s can go at 50 – 55 mph.

This is so fast for an RC car with this size and weight.

As always, the motor comes with a huge cooling fan and a heatsink to keep it running smoothly.

Also, the ESC comes with the latest tech from Arrma and Spektrum which is great.

The servo is also so powerful, that you don’t need to change it.

The other Arrma Outcast Versions

Wait, all that we have mentioned up to now is about the Arrma Outcast 8s version.

There are 3 other versions that you should know, they are cheaper, but weaker at the same time except for the EXB which comes with no electronics.

The first version of this RC car is the Arrma Outcast 4s which is the smallest and the cheapest as well as the basic one, let’s say.

The second one is the Arrma Outcast 6s which has a medium size and a medium power as well. It’s a great alternative for you if the 8s version is a little expensive. The 6s is more affordable.

The third one is the Arrma Outcast 8s EXB which comes with no electronics. When you buy this RC car, it’s so affordable, it’s even cheaper than the 6s.

However, filling it with electronics, and I mean high-quality electronics that will show you the true power of this RC car is really expensive, and you may add more than the price you bought it with.

Arrma Outcast 8s Transmitter and Receiver

As you know, this is a great RC car with great capabilities, so, it’s not convenient for such an RC car to have a bad transmitter and a receiver.

This is why the Arrma Outcast 8s comes with one of the best Arrma transmitters, it’s the Spektrum™ DX3™ Smart transmitter, and the SRS6110AT AVC® receiver supports the Active Vehicle Control as well as other features.

This transmitter is well known for its fast radio transmission, once you click, your RC car will respond in no time. It’s so fast.

The AVC or the Active Vehicle Control is one of the best features that this transmitter has. This feature allows you to maintain a direct direction with your RC car which helps you with balance in case you lost control over the Arrma Outcast 8s.

The other feature that you will have fun with for sure is the Spektrum Dashboard App.

This app allows you to learn more info about your RC car including the top speed, the actual speed, the motor temperature as well as a lot more info and details about your RC car.

This way, you’ll be able to be closer and understand how your Arrma Outcast 8s work.

The Arrma Outcast 8s transmitter is also able to show you the battery level with 4 light indicators, the more indicators turned on, the more battery you have.

In addition to that, you can limit the throttle to 50% or 75% depending on what you want. This feature is beginner friendly to learn how to drive and control your Arrma Outcast 8s.

There are some other options that you may want to discover yourself after buying this RC beast.

Arrma Outcast 8s Upgrades

As you know, the Arrma Outcast 8s is a powerful RC car and can be a great example of how reliable it is.

Still, this RC beast comes with built-in plastic parts that may break with hard bashing despite how reliable they are.

In this case, you might want to replace them with some aluminum parts such as the suspension arms, driveshafts, and steering blocks, there is even an aluminum wheelie bar, as well as aluminum shocks, and more.

Basically, finding the Arrma Outcast 8s parts isn’t hard, they’re available anywhere. That’s because they are common with the Kraton 8s which is a popular RC car.

In the end, there is no problem upgrading the Arrma Outcast 8s since the parts are available everywhere and they’re in general affordable.

What upgrades would you like to add to your Arrma Outcast 8s?

Annoying Things About the Arrma Outcast 8s

Everything that we have said in this Arrma Outcast 8s review has been about the great things about this RC car.

There is nothing perfect though, there will be always room for improvement.

However, for me as a user and a driver, there is nothing I didn’t like about this RC car, everything is well built, reliable, and fun to drive.

The body is perfect, the chassis has everything that a powerful RC car needs in order to kill it on the ground.

Maybe in the next generation of the Arrma Outcast 8s, we will see a better improvement, especially on the level of the shocks to handle even better than now.

Other than that, there is nothing to complain about!

Great Things About Arrma Outcast 8s

Actually, this RC car is filled with great things to mention.

Here are some of them that drew my attention:

If you look under the wheelie bar on the rear bumper as well as on eh front bumper, you’ll find a small car plate with the name Outcast on it. It’s great detail out there, isn’t it?

On the body in the windows on the sides, that sticker actually is showing you some great details about the windows of racing cars which looks cool.

The variety that the Arrma Outcast gives to us the consumers is a great idea to allow us to enjoy the great abilities of this RC car at any price.

If you don’t like the price of the Arrma Outcast 8s, go for the 4s or the 6s. And if you want your own Arrma Outcast, go for the EXB. Arrma is thinking about you, right?

Arrma Outcast 8s Price

As we mentioned before in the introduction, the Arrma Outcast 8s is not for the medium range of Arrma RC cars, nor its performance!

However, you still have the smaller versions with more affordable and convenient prices that can make you enjoy it without hurting your pocket.

Alongside the Big Rock, Granite, and Senton, the Arrma Vorteks comes to be one of the best RC trucks in the Arrma army. Here is why…

If you’re willing to buy an Arrma RC truck, you may get confused. After all, there are a lot of them that you can’t choose which one is better for you.

But here is the thing, the Arrma Vorteks has a combination of all these Arrma RC cars which makes it the fastest and the coolest one in the group.

So, in this article, I will show you the best features and qualities of the Arrma Vorteks as well as the downsides.

Let’s get started in the next few lines…

Arrma Vorteks Design

Arrma Vorteks Body

As you know, the Arrma Vorteks is a stadium truck. This means that its body will be a combination between the powerful and the sporty body type which is exciting.

Seeing the Arrma Vorteks body will give you the impression that this is the perfect RC truck that its body has every single piece of equipment that makes it able to give you goosebumps every time you see it!

It is true that if you have something like the Big Rock, the Arrma Vorteks body might seem a little small in comparison to its chassis which is true.

But what you need to know is the bigger the body is, the easier it is to be broken. The smaller the body is, the stronger it gets.

Furthermore, the Arrma Vorteks come in three colors, red, purple, and green. These colors are not the only ones on the body, but they are more outstanding than the other colors.

I think that some of the things that will make you think a little bit before you buy the Arrma Vorteks are choosing the colors.

The front

With those aggressive sharp headlights and high-quality body paint job.

The front of the Arrma Vorteks body is protected by a small part of the bumper stuck to the chassis (More info in the chassis section below).

Even if it’s a small part, it has a great value in protecting the body against direct shocks and crashes.

On top of the Arrma Vorteks, there are two plastic skids. These plastic skids are able to protect the top of the body in case of a flip-over, no one wants to ruin that great paint!

The great thing about the front of the Arrma Vorteks body is the big wheels. How’s that? Those big wheels are acting as support and protectors to the front of the body, especially from the sides.

That will make your RC car more secure.

But there is a downside about that as well (More details in the Arrma Vorteks wheels section).

The Rear

When it comes to the rear of the body, you’ll find some interesting details, they’re not real but still make the Arrma Vorteks look cool.

Those details are black painted, they contain two other clips within which makes them hard to see. This way, the clips won’t ruin the look of the RC car like the front ones

And of course, we can’t ignore that big spoiler. It’s a simple spoiler but it helps a lot with aerodynamics and the increase of downforce, especially when going at high speeds.

Another cool feature that is not available on all Arrma RC cars is the wheelie bar that comes with this vehicle, it’s so important to maintain the balance when accelerating.

And, in the back end, you’ll find the redlight stickers that look beautiful as well.

In conclusion, this body looks simpler than the other Arrma RC cars, but it has the best equipment for the best protection possible.

So, you don’t have to worry about changing your Arrma Vorteks body every time because it breaks!

Arrma Vorteks Chassis

Let’s remove the body and see what’s underneath it. It’s the Arrma Vorteks chassis of course. (not funny I know)

First of all, the Arrma Vorteks comes as a Ready to run RC car, which means that you won’t find any missing electronics or parts that you should buy except for the batteries of the car and the transmitter.

This is something we’re used to.

In comparison to the Big Rock and the Granite, you’ll notice that Arrma Vorteks has a lower chassis (low ground clearance).

This is not a disadvantage since this RC car is made for speed as well as off-road. You can go anywhere with no problems at all.

The other advantage is the fact that the chassis is located between these wheels, it’s protected and can have a longer lifespan.

This low ground clearance is because of the short shock towers and shocks.

The arms are also short which makes this RC car smaller in terms of width in comparison to the Big Rock. However, it’s easier to control.

The front bumper that we mentioned earlier comes with an additional brace that keeps it a little far from the shocks and shock tower for extra protection.

The structure of the suspension system in the rear of the Arrma Vorteks chassis is a little bit stiffer than the front with wider arms and more diagonal shocks.

The wheelie bar is an important part that we shouldn’t ignore especially after you how to drive this RC car without using the front wheels, all you’re using are the rear wheels and the wheelie bar. It’s so fun, you should definitely try it if you didn’t yet.

Arrma Vorteks Wheels

The Arrma Vorteks wheels are the dBoots Katar. They come with vented tires that have a high grip especially on-road.

Thanks to the rear wheelie bar, you will be able to control this Arrma Vorteks in case of full throttle, otherwise, someone would be dead!

The great thing about these vented tires is the holes that have been put on the outside surface to get rid of the water easily.

By the way, the Arrma Vorteks wheels come with 14mm hexes which are uncommon around the other Arrma RC cars, so, if you’d like to buy some new hexes for this RC car, make sure you take that into consideration.

After all, the Arrma Vorteks chassis is really great and well built, it is true that t doesn’t come with so many metal and Aluminum parts, but that hard plastic is also a great solution to avoid bending the hard parts.

Arrma Vorteks Performance

Let me tell you this, of all the Arrma RC trucks that you will try and drive, the Arrma Vorteks is the best one that you’re going to have fun with.

You can enjoy the high speed that this RC car can reach on-road as well as the high jumps and great landings off-road. Everything is fun about it.

But, how fast is the Arrma Vorteks?

From its design, you know that the Arrma Vorteks is made for speed. In fact, this RC truck can reach up to 60 mph which is almost 96 Km/h.

This speed is the result of the combination of a SPEKTRUM FIRMA BRUSHLESS 3200Kv motor, and a Spektrum FIRMA 100A SMART ESC that worked with a 3s Lipo battery, and the optional speed pinion gear that comes in the box.

The original pinion gear that comes in the vehicle won’t be able to reach that speed, but, it can reach a close number like 55mph. This is a perfect speed for an RTR RC car.

Also, the 3s Lipo battery isn’t the only option that you have, you can even include a 2s Lipo if you want to decrease the speed.

Some of you may be concerned about the downsides of this high speed like the high temperature of the motor, well, you don’t have to worry about it because this motor is equipped with a heatsink and a cooling fan.

The servo that comes with the Arrma Vorteks is the SPEKTRUM S651 metal servo, it does a great job and handles all the pressure with no problems. Still, you can always upgrade it since this RC car is easy to upgrade.

The performance of the Arrma Vorteks won’t be complete until we have some systems in place that will help you the driver, have better control and an incredible experience with your Arrma Vorteks.

Arrma Vorteks Transmitter and Receiver

There are some great systems that the Arrma Vorteks comes with. They won’t only help you control your RC car only, but also, they will help you know more about it!

The Arrma Vorteks comes with the Spektrum DX3 Radio and SR2000A AVC Receiver.

This transmitter is equipped with a lot of qualities and features that you will definitely have so much fun using.

The first feature that this Arrma Vorteks transmitter comes with is the AVC which is the Active Vehicle Control that Armma is well known by.

The AVC is s steering system that supports you while driving. Basically, it turns the wheels automatically to help you keep in the same direction.

This is so helpful in off-roading where the grip of the tires is weak and the car is hard to control.

On high speeds, this is not recommended, but, you can still use it.

We can’t forget the Spektrum Dashboard App that you can download on your smartphone and enjoy watching your RC car’s info there including the actual and top speed, the temperature as well as more features that you should definitely discover!

In addition to that, you can adjust the impact of this system on the wheels, or you can even turn it off completely which is the favorite thing to do for a lot of Arrma fans.

Alongside the AVC, the Arrma Vorteks transmitter has also other features like the brake rate as well as the limiting throttle that can limit the acceleration to 50% or 75% depending on what you want.

There is another feature in the transmitter about the battery, it gives you the ability to check the battery level of your vehicle using some light indicators.

There are 4 battery indicators, if they’re all turned on, your battery level is 100%, if 2 of them are turned on, 50% battery level, and so on… each indicator represents 25%.

Having all these options with this new Arrma Vorteks is a lot of fun. Isn’t it?

Arrma Vorteks Upgrades

Since the Arrma Vorteks parts are mostly built of plastic, if you’d like to upgrade, you’re more likely to upgrade with the same plastic parts which are good or the Aluminum parts which are harder.

What about changing them? Is it easy or do you need a specialist?

Actually, you don’t need any specialists, everything is easy and simple to set up. All you need is to open those screws in the bottom of the chassis. Some parts have just one screw, others have multiple.

They’re easy to take off and put back.

You can upgrade everything from the suspension arms, the shocks, spur gear, hubs as well as a lot more…

So, don’t worry about the Arrma Vorteks upgrades.

Annoying Things About the Arrma Vorteks

Actually, I can say that the Arrma Vorteks is one of the best RC trucks that I have ever reviewed on this website.

Everything we talked about up to now is great and incredibly perfect.

However, there is something I noticed when driving this RC car off-road, it’s hard to drive it.

Here is why. As mentioned earlier, the Arrma Vortekstires have a high grip on flat surfaces like the normal road, but they can’t make that grip off-road.

As a result, without the AVC system, this thing is so hard to control and you’ll have always a problem going in a straight line.

Luckily, this is already solved, all you need to do is to enable the AVC to help you control it. Then, you’ll see that driving has become better and easier.

Another small problem that you should be aware of is the wheels.

As you know, the Arrma Vortekstires are so big in comparison to the chassis, this has a bright side which is a good view and a great performance.

The bad side though is the fact that when the front wheels turn, they touch and rub the body which can impact the performance as well as the body quality. This is why those tires need some trimming.

Other than that, the Arrma Vorteks is a great RC car and you’ll enjoy playing with it.

Great Things About the Arrma Vorteks

There are a lot of great things about the Arrma Vorteks that a lot of its rivals from the other Arrma RC cars don’t have.

One of them is the high-quality transmitter and receiver which is something I find that Arrma ignores a little bit in their RC cars.

The body paintwork is also incredible.

In addition to these, the Arrma Vorteks is not specialized for high jumps because of the low ground clearance, but, you can still do dome great jumps with it in a condition not to send it so high to prevent damaging it.

Other than that, it’s a perfect RC car with a perfect body and chassis.

Arrma Vorteks Price

If you’re familiar with the rivals of the Arrma Vorteks like the Granite, the Big Rock, and the Senton, you’ll notice that the RC truck we’re reviewing today has some advantages and features that they don’t have.

Features like the AVC, the high-quality transmitter, and receiver, the well-equipped body with skids and spoiler as well as others.

All these features make the Arrma Vorteks price a little higher than the rest.

In the end, you get what you pay for, and what you’ve seen in this review is what you’re going to pay for!

So, Should You Buy the Arrma Vorteks?

I think you already know the answer, it’s Yes, you should definitely do it until…

Until you don’t like the Stadium RC trucks! If you want to go with high jumps and have a bigger and higher RC car, there are other RC cars to go with.

Other than that, the Arrma Vorteks can be the best RC truck you can have on and off-road. You’ll enjoy having this beast for sure.

As I mentioned earlier, if you’re looking for a higher and bigger RC truck, the Arrma Mojave can be the best one for you.

And here is the thing, you can’t break it no matter how hard you try!

So, what do you think about the Arrma Vorteks? Would you like to buy it? Why?

I would love to see your opinions in the comments below!

The Arrma Mojave is one of the best bashing Arrma RC trucks that you can have today. However, does it really deserve that price?

First of all, we should agree about something. This RC car’s name isn’t pronounced Mojave with a “j” but with an “h”, it’s pronounced “Mohave”. That might be weird, but, that is the way it is!

The Arrma Mojave is holding a lot of secrets and a big ability under the hood. You should definitely discover that.

This is why in this article, we will talk about the design, the performance as well as everything else about this RC beast.

Let’s get started in the next few lines…

Arrma Mojave Design

Arrma Mojave Body

What’s special about the Arrma Mojave size, in general, is how big it is. In fact, no matter how you imagine its size even after seeing it in a picture, it’s different in reality. It’s really big.

The Arrma Mojavebody comes as a pickup truck like the Arrma Big Rock and Granite. However, this body is a little bit advanced, it does come with more details and more cool secrets.

At first glance, the Arrma Mojave body looks so strong, rigid, and more importantly: realistic.

The realistic features are what make this RC beast looks different.

It is true that those front headlights are just stickers, but, I know very well that when you saw this RC car, you doubted them, right?

There are not only realistic details but also extra protection that none of the other Arrma RC cars have.

For example, that bar in the middle of the grill has an important role in absorbing direct hits to the body.

Also, the front bumper is not made from hard plastic, it’s actually made from rubber, it’s so soft and flexible.

The role of that bumper is to absorb crashes and also not be a burden on the car in case of a bad landing.

Actually, this bumper isn’t completely visible, there is another hard part covered with the body to support it.

But here is the surprise, this bumper that we were talking about all the time isn’t a part of the body itself, it’s a part of the chassis.

But since it does look like a part of the Arrma Mojave body, I wanted to include it in this section.

When it comes to the top of the body, it is equipped with skids to prevent hurting the body in case of a flip-over. They take the hit instead of it.

On the inside, there is another body internal cage that supports the body and makes it harder.

Nothing of all these things will surprise you, because this is the only Arrma RC car that has some details inside of the body!

YES, you have two men drivers sitting there with all the details including the belt, the helmet, the posture with their steering wheel, and dashboard. They have even the internal cage that the real rally cars have. Isn’t that cool?

The Rear

Regarding the rear, the feature that will draw your attention the most is the rear windows, those little windows allow the air that enters from the front to quit the vehicle easily. This setup reminds me of the Arrma Limitless that has a similar shape in the rear

On the other hand, the details on the rear of the Arrma Mojave body are so cool. In fact, there are some fire extinguishers, spare gas cans, and a rear axle. All these details are of course fake, but, they’re still looking cool!

Arrma Mojave Chassis

When we’re talking about the chassis of the Arrma Mojave, you should differentiate between two types. Why.

Because there are two types of the Arrma Mojave!

There is the Arrma Mojave that is Ready-To-Run and there is the Arrma Mojave EXB.

Let me give you an idea about the EXB version.

Simply, this version doesn’t come with any electronics, all you have is the chassis which is almost the exact same as the RTR.

Deciding which electronics to add is your choice. This version is for the experts that have reached a level where they want to create their own RC cars, they want to be creative in combining the electronics and see the outcome.

The RTR version is compatible with beginners and experts. After all, all you have to do is to unbox it, add some batteries for the transmitter as well as for the RC car and you’re ready to go.

For the chassis, both versions have the same metal chassis, the only difference is the electronics.

Basically, they’re all the same, the only difference is the electronics. So, anything you read in this article can be applied to the Arrma Mojave EXB (Except for the electronics and systems section).

The Front Of The Chassis

When it comes to the front, as mentioned in the section before, the Arrma Mojave has that big bumper where the first half is a flexible rubber that bounces in case of a crash while the other half comes with hard plastic.

Between the bumper and the shocks, there are two braces, these braces have a great ability to absorb any hit. That’s a good strategy to protect the internal parts from the impact of the shock which makes this RC car so reliable.

Regarding the body mounts, it’s not a normal body mount. It’s actually built on 4 plastic poles. The reason is to protect the shocks that are placed under it.

The same structure goes for the rear as well.

Buy the EXB Version

Buy the 6s Version

The Rear

Concerning the rear, there is a big bumper containing two layers of hard plastic. It looks so strong and reliable and hard to break.

The sides have also bumpers each. They act like protectors as well as handles if you want to put them on the wall.

Other than that, the middle of the Arrma Mojave chassis looks really cool with great parts and electronics. The platform looks almost like the Arrma Limitless.

What will draw your attention is the Aluminum bar passing through the chassis with support in the middle.

We will talk more about electronics in the next section.

But, here is the thing, this Arrma Mojave that we are reviewing today is the V2 which is the second version of the first Arrma Mojave.

This new one comes with some new updates, especially in the suspension system.

Some of these new updates are the arms that become so thick and strong, the same thing goes for the shock towers. On the other hand, there are some Aluminum parts included like the nuts and the buckles.

In the end, this new update has added a lot of new strong parts, it made the Arrma Mojave chassis stronger and stronger and more reliable than before.

So, if you’re looking for something that can hold and handle a lot of pressure, make sure you get this Arrma Mojave!

Arrma Mojave Performance

I’m pretty sure that after seeing all these features that the Arrma Mojave, you’ll know that this RC car is not a normal one.

Actualy, the Arrma Mojavecan reach up to +60mph using a Spektrum FIRMA 4074 2050Kv brushless motor, a Spektrum FIRMA 150 SMART ESC compatible with 6s Lipo or two 3s Lipo batteries.

The motor has a cooling fan and a heatsink included to keep the temperature low.

Also, the ESC is waterproof which makes this RC car able to bash and pass through all types of terrains.

Of course, these electronics are not the only parts that have a role in reaching this speed.

This Arrma Mojave comes also with a powerful Spektrum S652 Digital servo and a pinion gear.

By the way, the pinion gear that comes fixed in the Arrma Mojave isn’t a speed gear. In fact, you won’t be able to reach 60mph with it.

Instead, in the box, there is another pinion gear that Arrma sends with your RC car, this is the speed pinion gear that you can reach that speed with.

They’re all metal gears, so don’t worry about breaking them, they handle pretty well.

Everything about this RC car is perfectly made and done.

Arrma Mojave Wheels

For such a strong RC car to perform, the quality of the wheels is so important, and so the Arrma Mojave wheels are.

These wheels are mounted and have a high fraction. Still, you can drift with this RC car on and off-road. That’s amazing.

Overall, no problem is found with the wheels, they’re built perfectly.

But what I liked the most is the suspension performance that gives you the ability to skip anything including rocks so smoothly.

This suspension has a big role in keeping this RC car balanced while going at high speeds off-road.

Also, the Arrma Mojave isn’t made for off-roading only, driving this thing on-road is also so fun and amazing.

Still, the power of this RC car isn’t supported only by these parts, there are the systems that will make your experience way better than this.

Let’s talk more about them…

Arrma Mojave Systems

Sometimes, the systems may not add a lot of power or control to the vehicle, but, they give you, the driver, a better experience and enjoyment to play more and have fun.

And when we’re talking about systems, we’re talking about the receiver and the transmitter.

For the transmitter, the Arrma Mojave comes with a Spektrum SLT3 Radio control and a Spektrum SR315 receiver.

This is a great fit for such an RC car.

Unfortunately, there is no AVC which is the Active Vehicle Control that keeps your RC car going in a straightway and prevents it from losing balance.

Other than the radio control contains the usual features that any RC car comes with like the 50% or 75% throttle limit and the hand brakes that are so amazing.

You can also get the Spektrum Dashboard App that allows you to learn more info about your Arrma Mojave from your smartphone using Bluetooth.

Arrma Mojave Upgrades

To be honest with you, if you’re thinking that after buying this RC car you’ll need some replacement parts, you’re wrong!

It’s hard to break this thing. This may be funny especially if you’re a bad driver and basher, but, you’ll have to put a lot of effort to break this RC car.

Because the Arrma Mojave is made for that, to begin with!

However, you will need to buy some Arrma Mojave upgrades and parts if you want to change the look or change the building material.

For example, if you want to replace the plastic arms that come with the stock Arrma Mojave with Aluminum, then, you would definitely need them.

These upgrades are available and most likely, you won’t find any problem getting them even if these parts are for the Arrma Mojave only.

Other than that, you can upgrade and replace anything you want.

Also, you can replace them yourself easily because of the easy access that Arrma usually includes in their vehicles’ chassis. All you need is to unscrew the part you want to replace from the bottom of the metal chassis.

Annoying Things About the Arrma Mojave

As you see, this RC car is one of the best RC cars, it is almost perfect, it is made for bashing and racing, and it can do anything you want it to do.

However, there is one thing that I didn’t like about it.

It’s the AVC system. If the Arrma Mojave has the Active Vehicle Control, you will have a much better experience and control over your RC car.

Still, the absence of this feature shouldn’t be a deal-breaker for you.

Other than that, this RC car is wonderful and you definitely should go and buy it.

Great Things About The Arrma Mojave

There are so many features the Arrma Mojave has that make it special from the other RC cars.

The best one is the special details on the body and the uniqueness of the chassis.

These two qualities will make you feel special.

See? Other than the performance of the RC car, the special things that make that car different have a big role in making you the driver feel different as well, Am I right?

That reminds me also of the Traxxas UDR which looks like the Arrma Mojave but with different specs and structure.

For me, this is what makes this RC car different. What about you? I would love to see your opinion in the comments down below.

Arrma Mojave Price

As you know, the Arrma Mojave comes with two versions that we mentioned earlier.

The EXB version comes with no electronics and the 6s version come ready to run.

Since there are no electronics in the Arrma Mojave EXB, its price is less expensive than the ready-to-run version.

However, buying the electronics and testing them will cost you a lot of money and can increase to a 4 figures number.

Of course, there is no beginner that will buy the EXB, if you’re an expert, you should know that, especially if you want to build something special to break a record or something like that.

So, Should You Buy The Arrma Mojave?

Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, you should go right now and buy this RC car.

The great thing is the fact that you have the choice to choose the better version for you.

However, if you have a child, I don’t recommend having this RC car, its big size may be dangerous even at low speed. You better have a medium to small-scale RC car for him/her.

Other than that, just go and spend your money on that beast.

Believe me, you won’t regret it because this will be the best RC car you’ll ever buy (At least in its range).

Despite being an affordable RC car, the Arrma Senton still has a lot of competitors not only from the other competitors but also from the Arrma RC cars like the Granite and the Typhon!

This is good for the brand itself, but, for you the buyer, it’s a little bit confusing since you don’t know which one to buy and which one you should spend your money on.

Arrma Senton Design

Arrma Senton Body

Are you familiar with Traxxas RC cars? Well, if you are, the Traxxas Slash which is one of the most popular RC cars looks exactly like the Arrma Senton.

This is just to give a big and brief picture of what the Arrma Senton looks like.

The Arrma Sentonbody is a pickup truck made for bashing, it’s built from plastic that looks simple and somewhat reliable.

Even if you crash it, you don’t have to worry, because the body of this RC car is so cheap and can be replaced easily.

A cool thing about this RC car is the graphics as well as the design of the headlights that give it that aggressive look.

The Arrma Senton comes with 4 clips, 2 in the front and two other in the back. They’re easy to take off to remove the body and access the chassis.

However, on the ground at the bashing time, they won’t come out!

There is no skids or internal cage either to protect the body. But, as mentioned before, don’t worry, that plastic can take a lot of hits with no cracks. That’s because it is so lightweight and so flexible!

These two features make it able to absorb any crash in the way.

Arrma Senton Colors

When it comes to colors, the Arrma Senton body comes in two colors which are blue and red.

These colors come for the brushed as well as the brushless version.

You can get other colors in the aftermarket bodies like Orange and yellow, you can even have a clear body and customize it yourself.

Overall, the Arrma Senton body is doing a good job and can handle pretty well anything this RC car passes through. It is also cheap which is convenient for an RC car at such an affordable price.

What about the chassis?

Arrma Senton Chassis

As you know, the Arrma Senton is an affordable cheap RC car that can be your best friend as a beginner or as a child. So, I don’t expect you to be surprised by the fact that the Arrma Senton chassis is 99% built-in plastic.

The great thing about this plastic is its high handling and reliability. It’s really hard to break that chassis until you’re willing to!

This RC car comes with big bumpers in the front and rear, they’re plastic.

Concerning the rear bumper, it is bigger than the front one and comes with a wheelie bar underneath it.

The great feature about these Arrma Senton bumpers is the fact that they have space between them and the rest of the chassis’ components.

With that, the internal parts will have less to no damage in case of a crash.

But here is the bigger surprise, there are bumpers even on the sides. Those can work also as handles which are so useful.

On the other hand, the shock towers are really high, they’re also plastic and can’t be adjusted either.

Right after the shocks and shock towers, there is s big bumper in the front of the internal parts. This plastic big bumper is another protector for those parts from the dirt and the mud.

Arrma Senton Internal Parts

Regarding the internal parts, they’re easy to remove and put back. If you want to work on a part like the motor or the ESC, you don’t need to struggle to get your hands there.

All you need is to take off that part. Most parts can be taken off by just one screw which is super easy.

This is perfect also for upgrading or replacing parts including the battery.

Concerning the suspension system, I see that these Arrma Senton suspension arms are the most plastic reliable arms.

And by the way, plastic parts sometimes are more effective than aluminum or metal parts.

And the reason is the plastic parts are so flexible, which means, in the moment of the crash, the plastic bumper bend against the subject that the car crashed into and comes back to its shape again as long as it can absorb the power of that crash.

On the other hand, metal and aluminum parts aren’t flexible, they have a weaker ability to absorb the shocks of the crash, and they will end up either cracked or bent until you replace them or fix them using power again.

This is why plastic parts and plastic-built RC cars like the Arrma Senton can be a great fit for beginners and children that have more chances to crash them. Second, the aftermarket parts can be found and bought cheaply.

Arrma Senton Performance

Before getting into technical details, the Arrma Senton comes in 2 versions. There is the Mega version which comes with a brushed motor and the Arrma Senton 3s version which comes with a brushless motor.

When it comes to the brushed version or Arrma Senton Mega, it can reach up to 30 mph (48 Km/h). It does come with a MEGA 12T brushed 550 motor and a waterproof ESC compatible with 2S Lipo.

On the other hand, the second version is the Arrma Senton 3s which comes with a Spektrum™ Firma™ 3200Kv brushless motor and a waterproof BLX100 ESC compatible with 3s Lipo batteries.

With this combination, the BLX100 ESC can reach up to 50mph which 80Km/h. That’s insane.

Here are more details about the two Arrma Senton versions:

Get the 3s Version

Whether you buy the Arrma Senton 3s or MEGA, you’ll have the same reliability and handling. What’s different is the performance and the speed.

With this high speed, lightweight and chassis reliability, the Arrma Senton is able to give you a lot of fun by having high jumps, and you know what? You don’t have to worry about the landing.

Why? Because it can handle its weight. This is why plastic parts have the best role!

Even if you crash it with a tree, there is a small probability that something will break. But, you’re most likely to continue bashing even after that crash.

After all, this is a Ready-To-Run RC car, which means, you need nothing to do after taking it out of the box except for putting in the batteries and you’re ready to go.

Whether you’re bashing off-road in the forest or the desert, or racing in the street, you’ll have no problem with this RC car.

There is one thing that I’ve noticed is the fact that the Arrma Senton can’t handle going at the top speed for so long. Actually, it loses balance and starts flipping over all the way.

In my opinion, this is because of two things, the first thing is the lightweight that this Arrma Senton has that it can’t handle that speed.

The second thing about losing balance is because of a system that is lacking.

Let’s talk more about systems…

Arrma Senton Systems

As mentioned earlier, the Arrma Senton sometimes loses balance when going at top speed.

Part of that is because of the systems. And what I mean by systems is the Active Vehicle Control (AVC).

Unfortunately, this system isn’t available in this RC car which makes it hard to control when going at high speeds.

When it comes to remote control, the Arrma Senton has the Spektrum™ SLT3™ transmitter and SLR300 receiver.

It’s a great fit for beginners (to learn) and kids that don’t care really about the quality and all they want to do is play and have fun. However, if you’re someone that is intermediate or expert, you won’t like it for sure.

You can always change it to something better.

Also, it does come with a beginners’ mode where you can limit the acceleration to 75% or 50%, we can call it the learning mode, after you get used to it, unleash the whole power.

Other than that, the Arrma Senton doesn’t come with any system. Still, it’s a lot of fun driving this RC car and bashing with it. You’ll appreciate that moment so much.

Arrma Senton Upgrades

The simpleness of the upgrades is the best thing not about the Arrma Senton only, but about all Arma RC cars.

As we mentioned before, taking off and replacing the parts is so easy and doesn’t require a big effort.

The same thing goes for upgrading. That’s because you can find any part you want at a cheap price.

They’re available anywhere.

You can buy anything from the Aluminum suspension arms, shocks, Spur gears, Aluminum mount gears, and a lot more…

So, you’ll have no problem with having or replacing the Arrma Senton upgrades. That’s a great feature for this RC car.

Annoying Things About the Arrma Senton

Actually, when I first knew and read about the Arrma Senton, I thought that this is one of those cheap low quality RC cars that will break just after 10 minutes of playing.

But, after that, I thought about it again and found that this is one of the best RC cars that any beginner can have.

All these plastic parts aren’t a burden on this RC car. On the opposite, these are the parts that made the Arrma Senton the beast that we see today.

However, there is one thing that I don’t like about it which is that unbalance that occurs whenever you reach the top speed.

This is not a deal breaker though. Actually, the more expert you are, the easier it gets to be controlled even at that high speed which becomes more fun since you start looking at it as a challenge more than a problem.

Another small problem that some of you may encounter is at the level of the chassis, precisely behind the front wheels in the steering area.

In that area, the hole where the steering bar comes out, you may find a problem with small rocks that enter from that hole and gather there which stops the steering gear from functioning.

That happens rarely, so you don’t need about it. Even if it happens, all you need is just to empty it and you’re good to go.

Other than that, this RC car is great.

Great Things About the Arrma Senton

There are a lot of great things about the Arrma Senton, I will tell you the best ones.

The plastic set of the chassis and the internal parts makes this RC car so lightweight that it does a great job jumping so high and landing with no damage.

This is something that even big great RC cars like the Kraton and the Traxxas X-Maxx can’t do always.

The distance between the front bumper and the shocks is wide, and this is to increase the protection of the shocks as well as the rest of the internal parts.

Despite having a 4WD system, the Arrma Senton’s acceleration is so tense, but, thanks to the wheelie bar that comes with it, the Arrma Senton can keep its balance even at full throttle.

Having two options like the Arrma Senton 3s and MEGA makes you the buyer have a better decision on which one to buy. If you have kids, the MEGA is better, otherwise, take the 3s.

Well, there are still a lot of great things about the Arrma Senton, you better discover them yourself because it will be more fun.

Arrma Senton Price

I know that after reading this article, you have a clear idea of the price of the Arrma Senton price.

If we take the quality-price ratio, you’ll find that this plastic RC car can withstand a lot of pressure in comparison to other expensive Arrma RC cars.

So, if you’re thinking about buying the new Arrma Senton, you don’t need to worry about the price, or about the upgrading parts either. They’re so affordable.

Buy the Arrma Senton by clicking the buttons below and choose which version you want:

Buy the 3s Version

So, should you buy the Arrma Senton?

If we look in terms of performance, handling, reliability, and price, the answer is definitely YES!

You should buy it, especially if you’re a beginner or you have a child that this RC car will be his first one.

However, if you love fast RC cars, the Arrma Senton may not give the fun that you’re waiting for even in the 3s version.

This is why you better go for a faster RC car, you can go for the Limitless, the Kraton, the Felony, or the Infraction.

All these Arrma RC cars are super fast and will raise the level of Dopamine in your body, but they’re a little expensive.

So, what do you think about the Arrma Senton? Is It worth it?

I would love to see your opinions in the comments below!

If you’re looking for an affordable RC car with high performance and abilities, then, you definitely should read this Arrma Typhon review. Here is why…

In the previous review of the Arrma Limitless, we knew that this RC car can’t go off-road, in fact, it has a low ground clearance that you can’t put your finger underneath it.

So, we need an off-road version. This is where the Arrma Typhon comes from.

However, can you have fun with it? Is it really worth it?

These are the questions that we will answer in this review.

Arrma Typhon Design

Arrma Typhon Body

The first thing you’ll ever notice on the Arrma Typhon is how small its body looks. Yes, the Arrma Typhon body doesn’t cover the front part of the car.

Mainly, it’s occupying the middle part of the whole chassis.

Also, if you’re familiar with or have seen our full review of the Arrma Limitless, you’ll notice that the Arrma Typhon body looks similar to that on the Limitless, right?

They look similar when it comes to the stickers, to the lines as well as the rear part exactly in those small bumpers.

Still, the Arrma Typhonbody looks sporty, draws a lot of attention, and comes with a great design and graphics which makes it special.

Unlike the Limitless which comes with 3 body clips, the Arrma Typhon comes with 4. Two in the front and two others in the back.

Regrading the spoiler, we can consider it as a part of the body even though it’s attached to the chassis.

The Arrma Typhon spoiler is really something that you can’t ignore!

Well, was can say that it’s actually a double spoiler with two wings. It is attached to the rear shock tower and divided into 4 parts. We might consider these parts as a diffuser included there, maybe!

Concerning the colors, the Arrma Typhoncomes in different colors including Red, Green, and Black.

Other than that, the body looks amazing and perfectly built.

Arrma Typhon Chassis

As you know, the Arrma Typhon is a small RC car, and so the chassis is.

For this reason, if you’re used to driving big RC cars like the Granite or the Big Rock, you might get a little shocked. Why?

Because the small size of this chassis makes the internal components a little compressed, there is no space between each one.

As a beginner, you might get confused about where to start, but, after a few seconds, you’ll get used to it quickly.

In the font of the chassis, there is a small bumper directly followed by the shocks and the shock tower.

This structure is different than the other Arrma RC cars which are good for the identity of the Arrma Typhon.

But, at the same time, this may not be a good idea for the safety of the car, especially for the shocks and the suspension system including the suspension arms and the wheel driveshafts.

One direct crash may shatter everything! Or at least, there will be some damage.

The other damage that you may get from having the shocks without protection is the amount of dirt that can stop them from doing their job. Also, it’s hard to clean them!

The Arrma Typhon comes with the usual parts that every Arrma RC car comes with. We will talk more about the internal parts of the Arrma Typhon in the performance section.

Other than that, the front and the rear shocks are well built and thanks to them, this RC beast will be able to handle high jumps and hard landings in both off and on-road.

Overall, the Arrma Typhon chassis building is really simple and can be easily understood in order to upgrade it and change its parts. It is also solid for an RC car of such a size. It’s so reliable and strong.

Arrma Typhon Performance

Arrma Typhon Specs

Despite being a small RC car, the Arrma Typhon has a big potential. But before talking about the top speed and the performance. You should know that there are three versions of the Arrma Typhon.

The slowest one comes with a MEGA 12T brushed 550 motor, MEGA waterproof ESC and it’s called the Arrma Typhon Mega. This RC version can reach up to 30mph which is 48 Km/h.

The second one comes with a Spektrum™ Firma™ 3200Kv brushless motor and a BLX100 2S/3S waterproof ESC compatible with 2s and 3s Lipo batteries. It’s called the Arrma Typhon 3s and can reach up to 50mph which is 80km/h.

And the faster one is the Arrma Typhon 6s BLX that comes with a Spektrum™ Firma™ 4074 2050KV brushless motor as well as a Spektrum™ Firma™ 150A Smart Brushless ESC. With a 6s battery added, this beast can go up to 70mph (1112Km/h).

Here they are in more detail:

Servo: Spektrum™ SPMS652 Digital servo

Buy The 6s Version

The three versions of the Arrma Typhon look almost the same. But, if you take a closer view, you’ll find that there are some big differences in the performance and some small differences in the chassis.

The chassis of the Mega and the 3s version looks almost the same.

On the other hand, there are some noticeable changes in the 6s version like the spoiler that is completely different in addition to some additional parts at the level of the rear bumper to increase the protection as well as the tires.

When it comes to the bodies, the three versions have the same shape but not the same colors and graphics. The Arrma Typhon Mega comes in Green color, the 3s comes with Red color while the 6s comes with Red and Black colors.

As you know, the best one here is the 6s version while the slowest is the Mega version that comes with a brushed motor.

And don’t forget that you get what you pay for!

Arrma Typhon In Action

Despite being a small RC car, the Arrma Typhonfeels heavy in comparison to the other RC cars. And that’s because of all the electronics gathering in that chassis.

However, the best part of this is the big ability of this RC car to ump so high. You can actually enjoy jumping all the time especially if you’re off-road. But, in one condition!

The condition is that there should be no rocks or hard things on the ground. Otherwise, you would destroy the front parts of your Arrma Typhon.

Yes, that’s right, as mentioned before, the body doesn’t protect the front parts of the Arrma Typhon. So they might get damaged while hitting the ground if not the jump is done properly. That includes the cleaning as well especially if it went through the shocks!

Of course, breaking one of these shocks will be hard since they have small protectors on top and bottom that also protect them from dirt and crashes.

In the end, you don’t have to worry, this might not happen at all if you know where to drive your RC car and care about it.

Having dirt is a part of any RC car, so whether you take the Arrma Typhon or even the Kraton, you’ll have to clean and take care of them to last longer. (Except if you enjoy hitting the sh*t out of them!)

Arrma Typhon Systems

Actually, there is a difference between the three versions when it comes to the systems, especially between the 6s and the other version since it is the version with the most differences.

The Mega and the 3s versions both come with the same remote control which is the Spektrum™ 3-channel SLT3™ 2.4GHz Radio And SLR300 Waterproof Receiver.

These remote control and receiver don’t come with any features like the AVC and the Spektrum App. However, they’re good for beginners since they can enable the throttle mode between 50% and 75% to limit the acceleration.

It’s basic, but it does come with a wall charger. Also, you should buy some batteries because it comes with none.

On the other hand, the 6s version comes with the Spektrum™ SLT3™ transmitter and the SLR315 receiver comes with the Spektrum Dashboard App that allows you to see more info about your Arrma Typhon including the temperature, the actual speed, and the top speed in addition to some other features on the app.

This app feature is one of the best qualities that you should definitely try. It’s incredibly fun.

Arrma Typhon Upgrades

One of the great things about the Arrma Typhon is its parts and upgrades. As a beginner RC car, this is a great chance for them to find the parts easily and quickly, they’re widely available and affordable to buy as well.

However, you should be careful sometimes, because, as mentioned before, there are some differences between the three versions including some in the chassis.

For example, buying some Arrma Typhon 3s upgrades may be compatible with the Mage version, but not the 6s version!

This is why, before buying any parts, you should make sure that they’re compatible with the version that you have. Some parts may fit perfectly in all versions, some might be longer, and others might be shorter.

Sometimes, you may force a part to fit your Arrma Typhon version, but this is not recommended! You might break that part with others if you run into something while playing.

When it comes to taking off a part, it’s easy and simple. Some parts require opening some screws while others require nothing but taking it off with your hands.

So, it’s pretty easy!

Annoying Things About the Arrma Typhon

Actually, when I saw this RC car for the first time, I didn’t think that it will be that powerful and reliable, especially after seeing the front part where the shocks have no protection.

But it looked like I was wrong, and this RC car can make high jumps and land so hard, but nothing will happen to those shocks and parts.

There isn’t really anything that is annoying me about this RC car. Sometimes, as a beginner, you may get confused with the compatibility of the new parts that you buy.

But, this is not a big problem since you can see the reviews and the Q&A before buying. You’ll get used to it.

When it comes to the Arrma Typhon 6s, it’s a little bit disappointing that the Active Vehicle Control (AVC) isn’t available, it would be better if it’s there.

Great Things About the Arrma Typhon

Yes, there are a lot of great and attractive things about the Arrma Typhon.

The first one of them is the shape of the RC itself. It’s special and different from the rest of the Arrma RC cars.

It’s affordable and beginner friendly which is great.

Also, those small bumpers in front of the shocks do a pretty good job in protecting them from mud and dust, they can protect them even from bad crashes.

This RC car can’t be driven only by adults and beginners, it is also child-friendly and can be the best gift for your son or daughter!

Arrma Typhon Price

After reading this Arrma Typhon review, I’m pretty sure that you already know or at least have a guess of the level of the Arrma Typhon price.

I can say that this is one of the best RC cars that you can buy as a beginner. It’s so affordable, and the great thing is that you have three different versions to choose from.

The Mega version is the cheapest one, after that, the 3s version, then the Arrma Typhon 6s version.

Here are the prices of all the Arrma Typhon versions, check them out:

So, Should You Buy It?

The answer here is definitely YES, this RC beast is worth buying.

The amount of fun and enjoyment you’ll find in the Arrma Typhon is out of your imagination especially if this RC car will be your gate to the RC world. It’s just amazing.

Also, if you’re a dad, and don’t know what kind of gift you would give to your child for their graduation this year, the Arrma Typhon is the best thing you can give to him/her.

Don’t forget to tell me about his/her reaction after getting it! I’m waiting for you!

In this article, you better pull yourself together, because we’re reviewing the fastest RC car you will ever see: The Arrma Limitless!

Yes, you’re reading that right. The Arrma Limitless is the fastest Arrma RC car if not the fastest RC car in the world.

By the way, this is not the fastest production RC car like the Traxxas XO-1, it’s the fastest RC car. Why? Because the Arrma Limitless is not a ready-to-run RC car.

It doesn’t come with all the pieces together, you should add them. Don’t worry, we will walk through more details about this RC car.

So, despite being the fastest, is it really worth it? Can you get it as a beginner?

Well, these are the questions that we will answer in the next few lines…

Arrma Limitless Design

Arrma Limitless Body

There is no way you can tell me that there is a better-looking RC car than the Arrma Limitless.

First of all, it’s a formula 1 RC car which is already cool and hard to ignore.

Second, the engineering behind the Arrma Limitless is not done for an RC car, actually, it’s done for an RC car that will run at +120mph, the lines, the edges, and the body construction are all adding a major value to the beauty of the Arrma Limitless.

The Arrma Limitless body isn’t a normal body, in fact, this body is so thick and rigid. It doesn’t fully come out, and the front part can’t be taken off.

This body has been carefully built since it is so important for aerodynamics. These physics rules can make a car go faster or completely destroy it with one simple mistake.

The front part that is attached to the chassis is built as a front diffuser and at the same time as a shield for the front shocks that are popping out of the body.

The Rear

In the rear, there are two holes built in the body to allow the air that enters the body to leave without an impact on the Arrma Limitless performance.

In addition to that, next to the holes, they have built an included spoiler to use that air coming out from the holes as a tool to add more downforce which is super cool.

We can’t, of course, ignore the gigantic spoiler included in the chassis. That spoiler isn’t acting as a spoiler only, it does include a diffuser to the flow of the air which is only the second one since the principal diffuser is in the chassis.

The body doesn’t come with any skids or internal cage, it does come through with 3 clips to fix it on the chassis. One in the front and two in the back.

So, overall, the Arrma Limitless body is not like anybody that you can just go and add to your RC car, it’s well studied and every single detail is there for a reason!

Can you have an Arrma Limitless custom body?

Of course, you can! you can buy a different one, or you can even have your own Arrma Limitless custom body!

What about the chassis?

Buy the Limitless Here

Arrma Limitless Chassis

First of all, the first thing you will see when you open up the body and see the chassis is an empty Arrma Limitless chassis.

How’s that? Well, if you remember in the introduction, we mentioned that the Arrma Limitlessisn’t a Ready-To-Run (RTR) RC car.

In fact, it does come with the essential parts like the differential, the shocks, and the wheels while you the driver has to choose the other electronics which are mainly the source of power.

The parts that you should add are the metal gear, the steering servo, the ESC, the motor, the pinion gear, as well as the controller, the receiver, and the Lipo battery.

Al theses parts are yours to choose from. And choosing them decides the performance of your Arrma Limitless. This is why you better be an expert and have some experience with RC cars.

The Arrma Limitless chassis has a low ground clearance. You don’t have to worry about cracking or bending it because it is supported by a thick layer of metal that can support that high speed.

This is not the only support though, this chassis is supported by a central bar from the front to the back to make the chassis more rigid and stronger.

But here is the thing, if you’re familiar with Arrma RC cars, doesn’t this chassis look familiar?

Yes, you’re right, this is the same platform and the same chassis as the Arrma Infraction. It’s exactly the same, all they added is that front part of the formula 1 and the big spoiler in the end.

Up to now, everything we’ve seen about the Arrma Limitless chassis is great. But, here is a cooler thing…

In this RC car, you’re not supposed to follow the rules that the chassis is giving you. What I mean by that is you don’t have to install the parts in the places where they should be installed.

You can change the places freely. Do you want to install the motor in the place of the battery while moving the battery to another side? You can definitely do it!

Do you want to install that part in that place? Go ahead and do it. This freedom that you have is thanks to the ability to be modified using the screws under the chassis. With these screws, you can modify the whole chassis.

This is the great thing about this Arrma Limitless, it makes you creative.

You can literally see on the internet the different setups that people make for their Arrmas and get inspired by them.

This way, you can have your own RC car. It’s unbelievable!

Other than that, everything else is exactly like the Arrma Infraction. You can check the full review we just made in order to know more about the other parts and details. Check it out here.

Arrma Limitless Performance

We all know how strong the Arrma Limitless is. You can literally make a search on YouTube and see how people can breach imaginable speeds with that thing.

But, as mentioned before, this RC car doesn’t come with specific parts to give you that exact metric of how powerful it is. You decide its performance and speed.

It’s not easy though. Actually, you have to search for the different parts that we mentioned before and make sure that they’re compatible and can work together smoothly. Otherwise, a burnup might happen.

The setup can vary depending on your budget and your goal as well. For example, the setup of a 100mph Arrma Limitless isn’t the same as the setup of a +150mph, this one required more time, money, and energy!

So, if you want to have this RC car and have no idea how to customize it, here is a small setup that we suggest for you to see how this works:

Check this Setup:

A 32Kg steering servo 7.4 v: this is a good choice if you want to have a steering servo that can last a long time. It is also strong, waterproof, and can handle the pressure of the speed. It’s not the fastest, but, it does the job very well.

2000KV Brushless motor: if you’re looking to save some money, you better take that motor. It won’t give you the best speed, you get what you pay for after all. But, it’s a great part that you can add to your Arrma Limitless.

If 2000KV is too much for you, you can try other motors with less power like the 1520KV motor.

Or why not go all out and try a 2200KV brushless motor and see what happens!

Concerning the ESC, this part has to be compatible with the motor. If you don’t know how to do that, it’s fine, you don’t have to worry about that, in fact, you can buy a motor with its compatible ESC to avoid the headache.

Buy the Limitless Here

The Arrma Limitless Remote Control

When it comes to the remote control and the receiver, you can choose from the different Spektrum receivers and controllers depending on the features you want.

You can have a controller with a receiver that supports AVC which is the Active Vehicle control that helps you keep the Arrma Limitless go straight ahead and prevent losing control.

Or, you can go with a normal controller which can do well also.

However, I prefer the AVC receiver since it won’t only help you, but, it will protect your RC car as well from crashes resulting from losing control.

The recommended one is the DX5C remote control, it does come with a lot of features including a built-in screen. It comes with a receiver as well.

So, as you see, the setup you choose depends on the performance you want to reach in your Arrma Limitless as well as depends on the budget you’re willing to spend on this RC car.

Some people don’t spend that much and enjoy having a medium-performance RC car while others spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of tests. Some of them are wins, others are losses to give you in the end a masterpiece that can beat even a real Formula 1 car like this one in the video below:

Other than that, most people that buy the Arrma Limitless don’ want just to have a normal RC car to play with, they have a lot of creative ideas they want to test, and the Arrma Limitless is the best platform out there to make their ideas a reality.

Arrma Limitless Upgrades

How can we talk about upgrades while this RC car comes with no parts and you should customize it?

Well, actually, we can talk about the Arrma Limitless upgrades. What upgrades?

Upgrades for the existing parts that come with it in the box.

See? Sometimes, the parts that you come up with are way too strong than the parts that are already there.

For example, if you think that the wheels will burn quickly because of the high speed you programmed your RC car for, you can upgrade to better ones.

You can upgrade to aluminum parts to harden your Arrma Limitless which is great.

Other than that, there are really no limits to upgrading this RC car! You’re free to go wild because you should!

Annoying Things About the Arrma Limitless

Actually, for such an RC car, there is nothing really annoying about it since everything setup is by your doing, so if it annoys you, it’s because of you, just change it!

But, for beginners, this may be a bit challenging to customize such an RC car, especially that may lose a lot of money and energy building it to burn up.

Still, if you’re passionate about this, you’ll definitely enjoy the process, because that’s what matters in such activities.

Great Things About the Arrma Limitless

The first great thing about the Arrma Limitless is the concept itself of building an RC car that can reach more than 120 mph which is amazing.

Also, the chassis that Arrma put in this RC car makes the owner assured since this is a well know chassis that has proven its abilities with the Arrma Infraction. Adding it in the Arrma Limitless was a smart move.

The high precision of building the body and making it aerodynamics-friendly is really incredible. I personally love aerodynamics and enjoy seeing the flow of the air going through the body.

Are there any great things about this Arrma Limitless you would share with me? Let me know in the comments below!

Arrma Limitless Price

Having such an RC car with all these powerful features and this performance will make most people think that this RC car is really expensive.

First of all, you should buy the Arrma Limitlessitself with the body and the chassis. It’s really affordable since it doesn’t come with the expensive parts, nothing really to worry about up to this point.

The rest depends on you, it depends on the cost of the parts that you want to add to your RC car. It can be some hundreds of dollars and can rise to thousands of dollars.

In general, this price point is good, especially for someone that has some experience and knows what it takes to build that RC car.

So, Is It Worth It?

If you read this article, then, I think you already figured out the answer, right?

It is true that Ready-To-Run RC cars allow you to avoid the headache of having so many parts to deal with and make you able to enjoy your drive directly out of the box.

On the other hand, roller RC cars like the Arrma Limitless give you the opportunity to enjoy the process of building something that you dreamed of and wanted to become a reality.

This is the moment where the creativity of yours go outside and shows itself under the work you did.

Actually, it’s so fun and great to build something and own it and be proud of it. Isn’t that great?

Arrma Big Rock Design

Arrma Big Rock Body

The Arrma Big Rock body is a pickup, a badass-looking pickup that nothing can stop on its way.

With a greatly designed headlight on top and bottom as well as a big grill. Unfortunately, despite having a great design, they’re still just stickers. It would be cooler if they were real.

In addition to that, there is a huge bumper covering from edge to edge.

On the hood, there are two clips to fix the body on the shock towers of the chassis.

On top, unfortunately, there are no skids to protect the Arrma Big Rock body in case of a flip-over. But, you don’t need to worry about this since the chassis is so wide.

This means that it is hard for this RC beast to flip over which is good.

When it comes to the rear, there are also two red lights with the Arrma Logo in the middle. Their design looks fantastic, especially that vertical style!

I can’t ignore the rear bumper that looks really powerful. You can really rely on it.

Right down the bumper, you will find the wheelie bar that comes with the Arrma Big Rock. It will help you keep your balance while accelerating fast.

It’s so useful especially that it is stronger than the previous version. Now, you don’t have to worry about breaking or bending it. It’s so powerful.

The body is well-designed and looks good. You can always change it whether because of breaking or for changing color.

It does come painted with blue and matte black that looks amazing.

What about the chassis?

Buy The Big Rock Here

Arrma Big Rock Chassis

As mentioned before, the chassis of the Arrma Big Rock doesn’t have a big ground clearance and comes with big wheels which makes it hard to flip over.

The chassis has been hardened and became better than the last version, this will help you better handle the high jumps and the crashes that will definitely do with this Arrma Big Rock!

By mentioning the jumps, we must also mention the shocks and the suspension system that is the first responsible for handling them!

These shocks are oil-filled and have Silicone O-rings for better performance and reliability.

When it comes to the arms, they’re wider than the previous version to increase the handling that we talked about before.

On top of the shocks, there are the shock towers that you can adjust so that you can elevate the level of the body or put it down, this feature is useful sometimes!

Once you see the middle of the chassis, you will see those big side walls that contain the internal parts inside.

These big walls are so important to keep the dust and the mud from damaging the motor and the ESC.

There is also that big central driveshaft with plastic support around it for extra protection.

Other than that, the Arrma Big Rock comes with all the other parts that any Arma RC car has.

It does come with a motor, an ESC, a central driveshaft that we mentioned before as well as a battery place and a more powerful servo than the previous version.

The great thing about this chassis is how organized it is. You can literally distinguish between the different parts with no confusion. Also, you can always fix and change those parts easily.

In general, this chassis is amazing and stronger than the last version. It is definitely not the best out there, but, I highly recommend it for bad bashers.

Arrma Big Rock Performance

Here is something that shocked me about the Arrma Big Rock, it can reach up to 50mph. This is a huge speed, especially for an off-roading RC car like this one.

To reach that speed, the Arrma Big Rock comes with a Spektrum™ Firma™ 3200Kv brushless motor with a BLX100 2S/3S waterproof ESC that is also brushless.

You can add a 2s or 3s Lipo battery to this Arrma Big Rock and go all out.

By the way, these batteries don’t come included in the box, here are the recommended ones that you should buy:

Buy 3s Spektrum Battery

Buy 2s Spektrum Battery

When it comes to speed and handling, this beast is amazing. You don’t have to worry about the motor heating because it domes women with a heatsink as well as a fan to keep it cool.

Even if you flip it over, the body and the chassis can easily handle that.

Is there anything you should do to make the Arrma Big Rock function?

No, all you need is to take it out of the box, add a 2s/3s Lipo battery, and you’re ready to go. Also, you can reach 50mph directly after putting the batteries.

The Arrma Big Rock servo has also been updated to become so much better than the previous version. In fact, It’s a metal-geared digital waterproof servo from Spektrum. It can produce 15% more torque than the previous one!

Arrma Big Rock 3s Tires

Tires are a big part of an RC car in order to perform well. They might help you drive better or worse!

The Arrma Big Rock 3s tires have two sides: a good side and a bad one.

On the bad side, these tires are well built which is good.

However, they have a high grip ability, so, if you drive the Arrma Big Rockon a normal road, what happens is that it’s hard to control that RC car because of the speed, also, the high grip doesn’t allow the Arrma Big Rock to slide and maintain balance, which means, it will be upside down in no time!

On the other hand, these tires work perfectly off-road and you’ll have a great time enjoying the drive.

So, what is the solution for the on-road tires?

Well, all you need is to get other tires with less grip. Otherwise, it’s not really necessary if you’re able to control your new Arrma Big Rock since it is possible. It’s just a matter of time.

By the way, don’t consider this an inconvenience about this RC car because it is really fun to drive it on-road and discover its full strength and top speed!

Here is another great thing about the Arrma Big Rock tires, they’re vented tires that stop the dirt from getting in as well as allow water to escape. That’s so cool.

Arrma Big Rock Maintenance

Some Arrma RC cars are really hard to fix and maintain, and this is because of their complex composition like the Arrma Kraton and the Felony (in some parts) which requires an expert or at least an intermediate in order to look into it.

In the Arrma Big Rock case, it’s different. You have one of the easiest to-fix chassis in the Arrma RC cars.

Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, you can always distinguish between the parts and change them yourself.

So, the Arrma Big Rock maintenance can be easily done.

Arrma Big Rock Systems

Any RC car should have some systems in place in order to help you, the driver, have a better experience and control easily your RC beast.

Some of the best systems that come with some Arma RC cars is the Active Vehicle Control (AVC). This system helps you with maintaining the balance and prevents your RC car from sliding and losing control.

Unfortunately, this system is only available in high-end Arrma RC cars like the Kraton and the Felony.

It is true that an RC car such as the Arrma Big Rock that is hard to control on-road needs such a system, but you can still figure it out without it. Plus, it’s so fun to have an uncontrolled beast to control!

On the other hand, the Arrma Big Rock comes with the SPEKTRUM™ 3-CHANNEL SLT3™ 2.4GHZ RADIO AND SLR300 WATERPROOF RECEIVER which is a new update as well.

It is not compatible with the Spektrum Dashboard App that shows you everything about your RC car through your smartphone, but, it does come with something that you will really enjoy if you’re a beginner or if you have kids.

It’s called the throttle mode, this mode allows you to limit the power of acceleration to 50% or 75% depending on your situation. This way, if you have kids, you avoid the danger of hurting someone or hurting yourself.

Arrma Big Rock Upgrades

As we mentioned before in the maintaining section, the Arrma Big Rock is so easy to maintain and can be a great source for you to learn how to maintain an RC car. What about the Arrma Big Rock parts? Are they available?

Definitely yes, one of the great things about the affordable and the medium-priced RC car is the availability of their parts.

Not only that, but they’re also affordable as well, which means, you don’t need to worry about losing so much money after breaking it!

You can find everything about the Arrma Big Rock parts from Alloy shocks, Aluminum Suspension Arms, driveshafts as well as the steering parts, and more.

Even in the replacement process where you have to unplug this part and put that part is easy! Many parts don’t need any screws, just detach them, or you can detach a whole unit using one screw.

Now we can talk about a beginner-friendly RC car!

Annoying Things About The Arrma Big Rock

Nothing in this world is perfect, no RC car is perfect and so the Arrma Big Rock is!

Despite the high performance and the user-friendly features that this RC car comes with, there are some annoying things you should know before buying.

Nobody skids or internal cage: This is really disappointing, especially for an RC car that can reach 50 mph. This is a high speed that requires some protection. The body doesn’t have any protection in case of flipping over which can be a bit concerning.

No Spektrum Dashboard App: The bad thing about this feature is the fact that is only available in the high-end RC cars as mentioned before. It’s not necessary to enjoy playing though!

Despite having these bad sides, the Arrma Big Rock still has lots and lots of great features that you can take advantage of!

Great Things About the Arrma Big Rock

The Adjustable Shock Tower: This feature comes with almost all Arrma RC cars, so, it is still worth mentioning since you can control it as you wish.

Parts Easy-access: As we brought up earlier about the Arrma Big Rock’s easy maintenance, it’s one of the best features that you can rely on as a beginner.

Affordable and Available Upgrading Parts: You can find all the parts you need for the Arrma Big Rock just by looking at Amazon. They’re also cheap and affordable.

Arrma Big Rock Price

For such an RC car to have all these features, this performance and handling, and these affordable aftermarket parts, it is really something worth looking into.

And here is a big surprise! The Arrma Big Rock price is so affordable. In fact, this could be your first Arrma RC car. You’ll definitely love it.

The Arrma Big Rock is really a great bargain at that price.

So, Should You Buy It?

As I said before, It is true that this Arrma Big Rock’s features are limited. However, the ability of this RC car is way greater than its price.

So, if you already have the Granite 4×4 and want to have a better deal with better fun and enjoyment, you should definitely go for the Arrma Big Rock.

Also, if you’re a beginner and want to know more about RC cars not just in terms of driving and having fun, but also in terms of knowing how they work, this RC car will be the best thing you’ll ever choose.

In addition to beginners, this RC car can be the best RC for your kid. Just limit it to 50%, and let him play all day!

Since you’re here reading this article, you’re definitely an Arrma RC cars fan and you’re interested to know more about the Arrma Kraton 8s. And I think you’re on the right way!

It is true that Arrma RC cars are all great, but there is something in the Arrma Kraton 8s that feels different. Isn’t it?

Something that tells you that you can do with it everything you can do including going out on the highway with real big cars like this guy on the video below…

This is why in this article, I will show you everything you need about the Arrma Kraton 8s to make a wise purchase decision.

So is it worth it? Should you choose other Arrma RC cars over this one like the Felony or the new Infraction?

This is what we will see in the next few lines…

Before Starting…

When shopping for an Arrma Kraton, you’ll find different types. There is the 8s and the 6s type that is well known. We will talk more about their difference.

And there is the normal Arrma Kraton and the BLX version which we have in our topic today.

How do distinguish between them?

Easy, the normal Kraton comes with an additional bumper in the front. The BLX on the other hand doesn’t have that bumper.

Arrma Kraton 8s Design

Arrma Kraton 8s Body

When it comes to the design, all Arrma RC cars are attractive. But, as soon as you see the Arrma Kraton 8s, I’m sure you’ll fall in love immediately. You know right away that there is something special about this RC car which is high performance!

If you buy the Arrma Kraton 6s, you’ll see that its size is a little big which is 1/8. However, if you get the Arrma Kraton 8s, it’s so huge! In fact, it is a 1/5 scale.

The wheels are so big that they have almost the same level as the body, this is a good idea to protect the body using the wheels, also, it’s hard for this RC car to be flipped over. It has a big handling ability.

The front

When it comes to the Arrma Kraton 8s front body, the first thing that will grab your attention is the headlights. Well, it is true that the headlights aren’t real. But, they look amazing.

There is also a grill with the Arrma Logo and the name of the Kraton on it.

Other than that, the graphics are just amazing with great colors. By the way, the Arrma Kraton 8s comes in two colors, Green and orange.

On the other hand, the 6s version comes in Red and Blue.

On the front hood, you’ll see two big clips while on top, the Arrma Kraton 8s comes with two long skids to protect the body in case of flipping over.

Buy The 8s Version

Buy The 6s Version

The rear

When it comes to the rear, I’m gonna be honest here. This is one of the coolest rear ends I’ve ever seen in a real RC car before.

If you’re familiar with formula 1 cars, you’ll definitely know what I’m talking about. Well, this is what I recalled, a formula 1 back end, what about you? Tell me in the comments below.

The rear big wing is the first thing that will grab your attention. In fact, that wing is a double wing, it is designed specifically to add more downforce to the Arrma Kraton when going at high speeds.

Under the massive wing resides the beauty of this RC car. You can literally see all the different parts of the suspension system that is well designed which is so cool.

As you know, the shape of the body of the Arrma Kraton 8s is a pickup. So, the rear body clips were added in the rear of the Kraton right above the wheels.

Thanks to the dark color of the body, they don’t appear to ruin the great view from the top.

Here is a great small detail that you may not pay attention to…

On the sides, there is that little black hole drawn down there. These are actually the exhausts that have a rectangular shape.

The cool thing is that black thing linked to them, it’s the carbon of the smoke coming out. Great detail, right?

The Arrma Kraton 6s and 8s have almost the same design. Some details are missing in the 6s version though. The skids on the top aren’t there for the Arrma Kraton 6s. Also, the clips’ quality and design aren’t the same.

In fact, the quality of the clips in the Arrma Kraton 8s is way better and safer than the 6s version.

Other than that, everything concerning the body is pretty much the same including the double big wing that you can’t ignore when looking at this RC car.

Buy The 6s Version

Arrma Kraton 8s Chassis

To get access to those internal magical parts that make the Arrma Kraton 8s so powerful, all you need to do is take off those 4 clips, and there you go…

If you’re familiar with Arrma RC cars, you’ll notice once you remove the body that the Arrma Kraton 8s got three aluminum bars which are something that you can’t see either in the Infraction or the Felony, even the 6s version.

Two bars are crossed like an X and linked in the center while the third big one is passing directly from the front to the back of the chassis.

The chassis itself is built-in aluminum 7075 and it is more than 4 mm thick. This is just the beginning just to know how strong and reliable this RC beast is!

Even the bottom of the metal chassis has skids all over the place to give you that extra protection and rigidity against the ground.

Still, if you go super extra with this RC car, you still may bend the chassis, this is why you better get a radical RC bash bar that supports the chassis base from the bottom.

This doesn’t mean that it will bend to you just because it did for me or for someone else, after all, it’s built-in Aluminum 7075 that is super solid. But, as a measure of security, you better add that bar. So, you don’t have to worry about it!

If I would rate the chassis’s rigidity on a scale from 1 to 10, I would definitely choose 10. What about you? Would you choose the same?

Other than that, the parts of the Arrma Kraton 8s are the same as any other Arma RC car. This includes a powerful motor, a great ESC, and double battery places of 4s each to give you the legendary 8s.

By the way, these battery places are adjustable to give you the freedom to fit any battery you want.

We’ll walk you through more details about the internal parts in the performance section.

Finally, there is the suspension that we mentioned before which is good. However, some suspension parts are plastic and can be broken if you bash so hard with this RC car. This is why you better change them with the Aluminum parts.

In conclusion, we can say that the Arrma Kraton 8s is good at high jumps but bad at the landing which gives it the most damage!

But, don’t worry since you can always harden it with aluminum aftermarket parts. In case you’re looking for a more reliable RC car, the Traxxas X-Maxx is the one for you.

Overall, the Arrma Kraton 8s chassis is reliable and strong, however, it still has some limits that you shouldn’t exceed in order to keep your RC car longer.

But, with the aftermarket parts, you can always make your Arrma Kraton 8s stronger so that it can handle more.

What about the other sides of the performance?

Buy The 6s Version

Arrma Kraton 8s Performance

I know that you may be a little bit disappointed in the reliability level that such an expensive RC car has, but, this is just one side of the performance of the Arrma Kraton 8s.

Regarding speed, control, and handling, the Arrma Kraton 8s is one of the best Arrma RC cars you can own.

In fact, with a Spektrum™ Firma™ 1250Kv Brushless Motor and a Spektrum™ Firma™ 160A Smart ESC in addition to two 4s Lipo batteries as well as a pinion gear, this RC car can go up to 55mph.

You can even add more aftermarket parts to increase the speed.

The bright side about this RC car is the fact that you can always customize it as you wish from top to bottom. It’s fully customizable.

As a beginner, you will have some difficulties understanding how this RC car works in order to drive it or change its parts.

However, if you’re a professional and already have knowledge about RC cars, then, this RC car is definitely the best fit for you!

Arrma Kraton 8s Systems

For an RC car that expensive, you definitely expect to have some great systems on it to help you drive and take control over this beast.

Well, that’s true.

Active Vehicle Control (AVC)

The Active Vehicle Control (AVC) that Arrma provides will help you control the Arrma Kraton 8s.

How does this work?

Easy, the AVC’s mission is to help you maintain the same direction in case you lost control of your Arrma Kraton 8s like sliding on a wet road for example.

Basically, the wheels turn automatically in the opposite direction of the sliding direction of your car.

Exactly like a drift in the real car world where the driver should turn the wheels in the other direction of the sliding to regain balance.

The great thing about this is the fact that you can control the degree of interference of this system with your driving.

Choosing that degree depends on your driving style. Some people want to be free while holding that beast with their skills. Others like having this system as a support for better performance on the track.

So, you can choose which one you like! Let me know in the comments below!

Arrma Kraton 8s Remote Control

The second great system of the Arrma Kraton 8s is the remote control.

The remote control of this RC car is different than the one on the Felony and the Infraction. In fact, this one is better.

This remote is Spektrum™ DX3 3-channel 2.4GHz Radio with SR6100AT AVC® Receiver. This remote comes with a Bluetooth Smart system to help you connect your phone or your smart device in general to show you more info about your RC car using the Spektrum Dashboard App.

You can even expend this remote to put your phone on it and watch while driving at the same time.

You can also put a speedometer that comes from Spektrum to see the actual speed of your Arrma Kraton 8s.

Annoying Things About the Arrma Kraton 8s

Everything that has been said in this Arrma Kraton 8s review tells you that this RC beast is cool and nearly perfect.

Still, you might get annoyed with some things.

One of them is the fact that you may find a hard time fixing this RC car, especially for beginners. If you’re an expert, never mind, I know you enjoy that!

The other thing in question is the reliability of this RC car. Some people are good with it. Others are not.

But this, in the end, comes back to the way people treat their RC cars. If you treat badly your RC cars, they will break no matter how hard they are.

On the other hand, if you treat them well and play carefully, then, everything will be perfectly fine.

But, still, bashing and destroying is the best thing for most of us RC car fans XD!

But here are some tips that you may not have paid attention to:

The battery placement is extendable, you can make it longer or shorter as you want to fit the battery you want.

This RC car can’t accept less than 4s batteries according to the Arrma Official website.

You can adjust the shock tower from the rear and the front as well.

On the remote control, you can’t fix your phone only, even your camera if you want to drive while taking videos.

Still, the price you pay for this beast is definitely worth it. Having fun with this car whether by driving it or upgrading it is totally worth it.

At first glance, the thing that will draw your attention is the graphics and the stickers the Arrma Granite 4×4 has.

The colors and the quality of the graphics are just amazing!

Also, the headlights look real. That LED is really well done.

The body comes with 4 clips, 2 in the front and 2 others in the back. Unfortunately, there are no body skids to protect the body if the RC car goes upside down especially since the Arrma Granite 4×4 is an off-road RC Truck.

This means that there is a big probability it will flip over!

No one wants to hurt that great painting!

Also, when it comes to the rear, it’s so simple, there are some stickers for the red lights.

Overall, the Arrma Granite 4×4 body is pretty basic. Nothing really interesting other than the great graphics and colors.

Still, this Arrma Granite 4×4 body can be a strong shield for your RC car against dust and mud that can break down the electronics and the internal parts.

Arrma Granite 4×4 Chassis

Since this is an Off-road RC truck, the Arrma Granite 4×4 chassis is really high with huge wheels.

As you know, this is not the first Arrma Granite that has been produced. There are 2 other previous versions of it, and this is the third most advanced one.

For this matter, there were some changes and updates. So, if you already have the first or second version, you’ll notice some changes.

Some of the most important parts of any Arrma RC truck is the bumper. Bumpers are so important for off-roading RC cars. And this is what Arrma has focused on in this Arrma Granite 4×4 version.

The front bumper is wider and bigger, it does look strong and can handle a lot of crashes. It does come with some small beautiful details. You definitely can rely on it.

On the other hand, the rear bumper has also been updated, it doesn’t look as strong as the front one. But, it can do the job perfectly.

Under the bumpers, there is a wheelie bar that comes with the car in the box.

When it comes to the suspension system, it doesn’t come with aluminum parts, unfortunately, but is still able to handle the crashes.

Even if you break them, you can always get the aftermarket parts, they’re widely available. You have nothing to worry about.

Also, the body mounts are able to be adjusted depending on what you like.

Other than that, the Arrma Granite 4×4 chassis comes with the usual internal parts that any RC car has. But, here is the great thing!

This chassis is so easy to fix. You can change the parts easily, no screws are needed for the most part. This is the secret that made this chassis great.

If you’re a beginner and know nothing about RC cars, this chassis will make learning a lot about them.

It’s so organized and structured. The parts’ placement is also clear and easy to recognize and take off with your hands.

Arrma Granite 4×4 Tires

We cant talk about the Arrma Granite 4×4 without mentioning the tires and the wheels, they’re really well designed!

Those black wheels look so strong they can hold against the dust and mud they’re going through.

When it comes to the stores, they’re vinted tires that are built to take out dirt away in case it went inside.

Overall, despite having a simple body and chassis, the Arrma Granite 4×4 has a lot to say when it comes to performance, it is really a beast Arrma RC car!

Arrma Granite 4×4 Performance

The Arrma Granite 4×4 performance will definitely shock you. In fact, this RC truck can reach a speed up to 50mph which is 80km/h.

This speed can’t be reached without the combination of the Spektrum™ Firma™ 3200Kv brushless motor, BLX100 2S/3S waterproof ESC, the 4WD system, and the 3s Lipo battery.

You can always put a 2s Lipo battery to lower its speed.

The motor comes with a cooling fan and a heat sink to prevent it from burning. These two parts are able to keep the motor working to a high-temperature degree.

In addition to all these parts, the Arrma Granite 4×4 comes with a servo that can put 101 inches of torque with metal gears which are so powerful. You don’t need to worry about the servo like you used to be!

And here you go, you’ll be able to drive an 80mph RC Truck right out of the box. All you have to do is put a 6s Lipo battery on and you’re done.

Be careful to put the full throttle at first because it will go fast and you might lose control over it. No one wants to break its new RC car on the first try.

But, if you’re an expert and you know how to control even if you pull the full throttle, then it’s ok. The wheelie bar also will help you maintain some control.

When driving, you might see that it’s hard to control it in the air when you jump. You won’t always be able to land on the wheels, but it’s ok. It’s really fun though!

Overall, the performance of the Arrma Granite 4×4 is really outstanding especially since it comes with a brushless motor and can reach 50 mph which is a high speed for such an affordable RC Car.

Arrma Granite 4×4 Systems

Actually, the Arrma Granite 4×4 doesn’t come with a lot of systems like the Arrma Felony that we just reviewed last time.

In fact, the remote control of the Arrma Felony is different than the one of the Arrma Granite 4×4.

This one is simpler and has fewer features. The Arrma Granite 4×4 works with the SPEKTRUM™ 3-CHANNEL SLT3™ 2.4GHZ RADIO AND SLR300 WATERPROOF RECEIVER which has a good quality.

However, it doesn’t have the Active Vehicle Control (AVC) that can help you gain control over your vehicle by turning the wheels to the opposite side where the RC car is sliding. It’s a great feature.

So, if you’re a beginner, you better drive this RC truck with 2s Lipo, then, go for the Arrma Granite 4×4 3s. Otherwise, you will find some difficulties making this RC car go straight at high speeds.

Also, there is no Spektrum app for the Arrma Granite 4×4 which is disappointing a little bit.

Arrma Granite 4×4 Upgrades

Well, if you’re one of these people, then, this RC car is the perfect one for you.

The Arrma Granite 4×4 parts and upgrades are widely available, you can find plastic parts like the one you already have on the stock Arrma Granite 4×4. Or, you can find the aluminum version which comes in different colors depending on the parts you want to replace.

Whether you’re looking for Spur Gear, Aluminum shocks, aluminum suspension arms, or even aluminum body mounts, you can find them easily.

Also, they were cheap as well!

Annoying Things About the Arrma Granite 4×4

As mentioned at the beginning of the article, one of the best parts that can draw your attention is the body.

However, it’s missing some points. One of them is the external skids that are supposed to be there to protect the body. The absence of these will make the body endangered from being cracked!

I wish the controller had more functions and features. Maybe adding the AVC system would make your driving experience better.

Other than that, the Arrma Granite 4×4 looks absolutely powerful.

The Arrma Felony is one of the most powerful and aggressive Arrma RC cars. Owning this RC car means that you’ll have a lot of secrets to reveal!

If you’re familiar with cars and racing in the real world, you’ll know that the Arrma Felony design is inspired by the real Mustang Hoonicorn. If you don’t know this car, you’re missing a lot!

The great thing about this RC car is how beautiful it is. Actually, I can’t take my eyes off it! It’s a masterpiece.

Furthermore, when it comes to performance, you’ll find another beast sitting under the hood.

Still, there are a lot of competitors that you may be interested in as well.

One of them is the infraction that has the same base and platform as the Felony, So, what makes the Arrma Felony worth your time and money?

This is what we will answer in this article.

Let’s get started in the next few lines…

Arrma Felony Design

Arrma Felony Body

There is no doubt that you’ll agree with me if I tell you that the Arrma Felony body and design is one of the best designs in the Arrma RC cars if not the best. Isn’t it?

This RC car will get your attention especially if you’re obsessed with drifting street cars and classic tuned cars. You’ll definitely fall in love.

The Arrma Felony body comes in two colors. Black and orange. Also, it does come with 4 clips to fix the body on the chassis.

The front

As you see, the Arrma Felony comes with a classic design that is inspired by the Mustang Hoonicorn, but, with some modern design updates on the body.

Things like the LED light stickers, the big bumper with its air splitter, as well as the grill where you have the Arrma logo on the side just like real badass supercars!

The front of the car especially the front bumper is full of small details that will blow your mind. Unfortunately, the LED lights and the front grill aren’t real. If they were, that would be another story.

On top of the hood, you have the part that is presenting the symbol of super classic cars which is the air intake. It’s fake of course, but, it gives you a better look at this RC car.

This air intake is included in the box, so don’t expect to be on the car once you take it out of the box. It’s up to you to add it or not.

In addition to the air intake, there are other small accessories that come in the box as well which you can use to customize your RC car.

Other than that, there are a lot of other small details that you’ll definitely enjoy discovering yourself. I’m not going to spoil everything.

The Rear

Concerning the rear end of the Arrma Felony, it’s interesting as well.

The first thing that can grab your attention is the huge spoiler in the back. That spoiler can be removed or you can just leave it there.

Some people like it because it adds more stability, others don’t because they see that it doesn’t play well when it comes to aerodynamics since it increases the drag.

In the end, you can try to drive the Arrma Felony with and without spoiler to see which one is most convenient for you.

In case you remove it, you’ll find another small spoiler that will as well help with the aerodynamics.

Another great thing about the Arrma Felony is the double exhaust that looks amazing in the middle of the rear bumper.

Under that, you’ll find a huge air diffuser. These aerodynamic parts are really helping with the stability of the car, so don’t underestimate their existence!

Arrma Felony Chassis

One of the most important things about the Arrma Felony chassis is the low ground clearance which helps a lot with the aerodynamics.

When it comes to the chassis structure, it is the same platform as the infraction V2.

Like the infraction, the Arrma Felony comes with a brushless motor and double batteries. You can use 4s Lipo batteries or 6s Lipo if you want to go at full speed.

In comparison to the Infraction V1, the Arrma Felony got some great updates in the electronics. However, in comparison to the Infraction V2, it’s almost the same.

This means that the features that the latest infraction has are the same as the Arrma Felony has as well. That includes even the adjustable body mount which allows you to elevate the body from the ground.

Most of the updates that the Felony has is from the Spektrum parts like the ESC, the motor as well as the fan, and the heat sink.

Other than that, with this high-speed RC car, the chassis should definitely be able to withstand and handle the pressure of the speed with its metal plate on the bottom, especially in a case of a crash.

In fact, the Arrma Felony chassis is so reliable! In fact, our friend Brett from Amain Hobbies crashed its Arrma Felony right into a curb. And the surprise was that there was minor damage just in the air splitter!

Arrma Felony Tires

For such a fast beast, tires are some of the most important parts that you should take care of not only to have the best performance but also for the safety of your RC car.

For the Arrma Felony, it does come with the great Arrma Dboots Hons that withstand a lot of speed and drift pressure.

Also, to increase the drifting performance and give you a better drifting experience, the rear wheels are taller and wider than the front ones.

Now, all you have to do is to push the full throttle and enjoy your drive!

Arrma Felony Performance

The Arrma Felony is well known for its high performance and speed that can reach more than 80mph!

In fact, this RC beast comes with a Spektrum® Firma™ 4074 2050Kv Brushless Motor and a Spektrum® Firma™ 150A Smart ESC. By adding 2 3s Lipo batteries, you can reach up to 65 or 70mph.

To reach this speed, all you have to do is to add 2 3s Lipo batteries after getting your RC car out of the box. Just like that, so easy!

But, to reach 80mph, you should change the gear. Don’t worry, it’s not complicated, in fact, it does come with the Arrma Felony 6s in the box, so you don’t need to get confused in choosing which one to buy.

If you change the pinion gear, you’ll unlock the ultimate power the Arrma Felony 6s has. Then, you can reach 80mph.

By the way, as Brett said in the video above, each pinion gear has its own function. The one that comes as a stock with the RC car can be used for bashing and drifting.

On the other hand, the pinion gear that can increase speed should be used only for speed. No bashing! Otherwise, you risk burning the electronics of your expensive Arrma Felony!

All that we did right now is talking about the stock Arrma Felony!

But, if you’re an expert and you want to have more speed and excitement, you can tune your RC car more and reach imaginable speeds!

Still, there is something that may concern some people! It’s the gearbox! Let me explain…

As mentioned earlier, the rear tires are taller and wider than the front tires. If you don’t know, this is not something that was there just to make the car look cool!

There is a reason behind that. It’s the gearbox. The rear gearbox is different than the front gearbox.

The problem remains here if you’re looking to use aftermarket tires since they don’t provide the sizes of the rear and the front tires.

However, if you’re using the stock tires, or even if the stock is broken, you can always get the same with the same size for the front and the rear. Click the button below to check those tires:

Front Tires

Rear Tires

In addition to that, there is no reason for you to change the tires since the stock ones are perfect and powerful to handle the pressure this car put on them.

Overall, the Arrma Felonyis almost a perfect RC car in terms of design and performance. Still, these two can’t be perfect without a system that controls them.

Arrma Felony Systems

Active Vehicle Control (AVC)

For such an RC car with high speeds, a system that helps the driver with control is highly recommended to avoid fatal accidents especially since we talk about an 80mph RC beast that you have within your hands!

One of the best systems you have on the Arrma Felony is the Active Vehicle Control (AVC). This system helps you with turning your wheels right and left automatically whenever the car slides and loses control.

If the car is sliding to the left, the wheels turn automatically to the right, and so on.

The great thing about that is the fact that you can even control the degree of interference of this system using your remote control. It’s definitely useful especially if it’s your first time driving this RC car.

Remote Control

Other than that, the new update of the radio system from Spektrum is so great.

The remote control of the Arrma Felony is the same as the one on the Infraction. The same function, the same size, and the same technology (Spektrum® 3-Channel DX3™ 2.4GHz DSMR)!

With this new update now, you can control your RC car from a bigger distance while having a lot of info about it within your hands.

Here is a cool thing about the Spektrumremote control, you can see the battery level of your RC car through it. Isn’t that amazing?

Spektrum Dashboard App

Here is another cool thing you need to know…

You can now see a lot of info about your RC car on your phone using Bluetooth. This includes the motor temperature, the actual speed, the top speed, as well as more and more info.

To get this feature, all you have to do is to install the Spektrum Dashboard App, connect it to the remote control using Bluetooth, and there you go!

Believe me, this is so exciting and fun to have!

Arrma Felony Upgrades

Any RC car has its own upgrades. And so had this RC car.

The Arrma Felony upgrade parts are widely available and can be found quickly.

There is a variety of parts and accessories whether you need them for replacement because of damage or for customization.

I know that you will damage this RC car especially if you drive it as you steal it.

On the other hand, customizing the Arrma Felony is really fun. In fact, you can have a full carbon fiber kit that will change how your RC car looks completely!

Carbon fiber shafts, new bodies, Aluminum suspension, and a lot more are all available for you.

So, don’t worry about the Arrma Felony upgrades.

Annoying Things About Arrma Felony

Actually, for such an RC car, there isn’t something really annoying about it.

The only thing that I wish it has is the real headlights. Those LEDs, if they were real, will be even cooler.

Other than that, the Arrma Felony is really one of the best Arrma RC cars that will be ever reviewed on this website!

Great things about Arrma Felony

Actually, every feature that has been mentioned earlier in this Arrma Felony review is a great thing.

But, what I really liked other than the performance is the freedom of customizing this RC car.

Even if you don’t want to buy some aftermarket parts, you still have a group of accessories that you can add or remove to get the look of the car that you wish.

The other thing is the remote control which is full of buttons and features that help you better control and read your RC car.

Arrma Felony Price

As you saw in this Arrma Felony review, this RC car isn’t like any other RC. It is actually a beast that needs a lot of skills to be controlled.

The Arrma Felonyis a little expensive, in fact, it is one of the premium Arrma RC cars that you can have.

You’ll definitely have a great time with this RC car, and it will be the best thing you spend your money on.

So, Should You Buy It?

Having the Arrma Felony or any RC car that can go at high speeds over 60mph can be good and bad at the same time.

If you’re an expert and have some experience with high-speed RC cars, then you shouldn’t worry about the Arrma Felony. Still, it will shock you. You can control it after all.

However, if you’re a beginner and this is your first RC car, then you should take it seriously. You might hurt yourself or someone if you’re not careful with it.

Even as a beginner, you can still buy it as long as you don’t use the second pinion gear and go with high speeds.

What about kids? Can you buy the Arrma Felony for your kid?

Definitely not! I wouldn’t recommend that. The reason is that kids don’t know how to control the vehicle yet. All they do is push the full throttle, which is dangerous in the Arrma Felony case!

So, it is worth it? Definitely YES! Just go ahead and buy it!

ARRMA Infraction V2 Design

ARRMA Infraction V2 Body

The front

As mentioned earlier, the ARRMA Infraction V2 body is one of the best designs in Arrma RC cars and why not the whole RC cars world.

That badass aggressive look makes you want to drive this RC car so badly. It is true that the headlights and most of the accessories that this ARRMA Infraction V2 has on the body are not real which is a little disappointing.

Still, they look great on such an RC car.

The other great thing about the ARRMA Infraction V2 body is how classic it looks.

It does come with sharp square edges, a 90-degree angle front, as well as a sporty-looking bumper.

Yes, you’re right, this is not an aerodynamic friendly RC car. Still, driving it will make you feel like there is nothing in the way.

Unfortunately, the body is not clipless. But here is the bright side of it, the ARRMA Infraction V2 doesn’t come with a unique color all over the body.

It usually comes with a lot of colors and stickers. As a consequence, the clips are so hard to find and recognize, this means that they won’t break the design and colors’ consistency.

The Rear

The rear of the ARRMA Infraction V2 body is as great as the front. In fact, you have those big redlight stickers that will definitely grab your attention while driving.

There are also some other clips. 2 on the front and 2 others on the back.

The back of the ARRMA Infraction V2 contains also something interesting that you may not see at first glance. It’s the spoiler. Have you seen it?

It is transparent and hard to see, but it is so huge.

On top, you have two plastic small pieces that protect the body in case the car flips on its back.

Colors

The ARRMA Infraction V2 comes in 2 colors, the Black color, and the Silver. As mentioned earlier, they’re not the only colors on the body, there are some small stickers as well in different colors.

ARRMA Infraction V2 Chassis

The first thing you’ll notice while looking at this RC car is how close it is to the ground. In fact, this helps a lot with aerodynamics to increase speed.

The ARRMA Infraction V2 chassis looks strong and capable of handling a lot of pressure. Furthermore, the low clearance of the chassis makes it hard for the car to flip over.

In the middle of the chassis, the first thing you’ll notice is the central bar responsible for handling the chassis. Fortunately, this is not a built-in plastic bar, it is an aluminum bar which is way better.

By the way, this is the central driveshaft, the central driveshaft is in the bottom center of the ARRMA Infraction V2 chassis.

But, most people will say: “Since this is a low clearance RC car, there is a big probability that the chassis will have a bad time dealing with the road especially off-road”

Well, here is the answer, The ARRMA Infraction V2 isn’t only an on-road RC car, it is also an Off-Road!

In fact, you can adjust the body mounts in the front and the rear of the car. With this option available, you’ll be able to elevate the body a few millimeters more than it already was.

And by the way, these tires and all-road tires, you don’t need to worry about them. They’re worth it!

When it comes to the bottom of the chassis, is covered with a metal layer and ends with a huge diffuser in the rear. With this metal, do you think you’ll have any problems? I don’t think so!

Other than that, the ARRMA Infraction V2 chassis comes with the necessary parts that any RC car needs in order to function.

However, the difference between a normal RC car and this ARRMA Infraction V2 is the power of these parts!

We will talk about this later in the performance section.

ARRMA Infraction V2 Performance

Here is the thing about the ARRMA Infraction V2. It’s a beast!

With a 2050Kv Brushless motor and a powerful SPEKTRUM FIRMA 150A smart ESC, this RC car can reach up to 80mph. Don’t forget that batteries are an important condition.

You can add double 2s or 3s batteries. Yes, this RC car comes with double batteries. That’s a showcase of how powerful it is.

Wait, this is not the end! There is another more powerful version of the ARRMA Infraction V2, it’s the 8s version.

This 8s version requires two 4s batteries. It can reach up to 136mph which makes it one of the fastest production RC cars in the world.

Of course, to reach that speed, you need to do some small changes and get some aftermarket parts.

Otherwise, 80mph is the well-known speed record of this RC car out of the box.

The great thing about the ARRMA Infraction V2 is how possible and easy for anyone to customize it and get a result from it which is amazing!

Here is where it comes to the servo responsible for turning the wheels left and right. This servo comes with medium quality, it does the job very well, but, if you’re looking to increase the performance, you better go for another one.

By mentioning drifting, there is a cool feature that most RC cars don’t have. It’s the hand-break! That’s crazy.

You can actually stop the rear wheels completely while driving the car to create a grip and make a drift. Or, you can make a drift just by hitting the full throttle.

Overall, the ARRMA Infraction V2 can be one of the best Arrma RC cars that you can buy whether you’re a beginner or an expert.

If you’re a beginner, you don’t have to do any mono changes, all you need is to click the throttle and start enjoying.

If you’re an expert and love doing some upgrades, then, it’s easy to do!

ARRMA Infraction V2 Systems

Actually, the ARRMA Infraction V2 doesn’t come with a big amount of systems. However, those few ones are more than sufficient because they’re just mind-blowing!

Remote Control

First of all, if you already own an ARRMA Infraction V2, then, you should definitely be proud of that controller that you have within your hands. Don’t you feel like driving a plane because of those multiple buttons?

The controller of the ARRMA Infraction V2 uses 2.4GHz technology. Actually, you won’t find the Arrma Logo on this remote control since they’re not the ones who built it. It is actually built by another company called Spektrum, especially for Arrma.

It’s called the Spektrum DX3 Radio. It does contain everything you need to perfectly control your Arrma RC car including the hand brake that we mentioned before!

This company isn’t only responsible for the radio control, it is also responsible for some other parts like the ESC and the motor as well.

Spektrum App

Besides the remote control that Spektrum provides to Arrma RC cars, the Spektrum app is available.

You can download this app on your phone. Once you open it, you have a dashboard containing all your Arrma RC car info.

To reach that, all you have to do is to connect it with the remote control using Bluetooth.

Now, you’ll be able to see a lot of settings about your RC car including the actual and the top speed, the temperature, the voltage as well as a lot more!

ARRMA Infraction V2 Upgrades

As mentioned earlier, whether you’re a beginner or an expert; you can always drive and upgrade this RC car.

Why you should upgrade it? Because it’s easy to do it!

Basically, the most simple upgrade that anyone can make is changing the batteries from a 4s to an ARRMA Infraction V2 6s! This simple upgrade will change completely the performance of your RC car!

You can add a lot more upgrades like changing the Spur Gear to reach a higher speed, and upgrading some plastic parts to Aluminum.

You can go even simpler than that, just change the body to another color. Yes, other than the black and the silver, there are some other aftermarket bodies like the bronze and even the clear ones.

Other than that, the ARRMA Infraction V2 doesn’t need to be upgraded because of the weakness of the parts. It’s solid as a stock, you can definitely rely on it!

Annoying Things About the ARRMA Infraction V2

There is no perfect RC car, there is always room for improvements.

For the ARRMA Infraction V2, I found some missing features that you may find as well if you’re coming from another brand like Traxxas.

The thing that I found missing on this RC car is the systems.

It is true that the remote control abilities, as well as the app, are great.

However, there are some other useful systems that will definitely give you more control over your RC car.

Something like the Stability management control that prevents you from losing control over your RC car and helps you drive it better.

This system is available in Traxxas RC cars which is so cool.

Otherwise, the ARRMA Infraction V2 is amazing and has the best performance overall.

It’s not all bad though… Here are the best things I like about this RC car.

Great Things About the ARRMA Infraction V2

Actually, the ARRMA Infraction V2 is so filled with amazing features.

But some of the great things that grabbed my attention are the body mount adjustment that allows you to control the ground clearance.

The other thing that I loved about this RC car is the hand brake that you can use with the remote control.

In addition to those two, the design and the performance are the best feature that the ARRMA Infraction V2 has.

ARRMA Infraction V2 Price

After all this performance and design showcase, you definitely have an idea about the price of this RC car, aren’t you?

Everything we’ve talked about in this ARRMA Infraction V2 review is telling you that this is not an ordinary RC car! A special RC car comes at a special price.

And as I always say, you get what you pay for.

Is it worth it to buy it at this price? it’s definitely worth it!

As we mentioned earlier, the ARRMA Infraction V2 is one of the best Arrma RC cars. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, you can always have this car.

The design, the performance, the systems, and the upgrades are all perfectly matched with this car. And the price is definitely convenient!

Still, this RC car might not be the one for you if you love off-road RC cars. It is true that you can drive it off-road, but, you’ll never be able to reach its full potential. Briefly, you won’t enjoy it that much.

However, if you’re a racing street guy, you’ll definitely fall in love with the ARRMA Infraction V2 because it’s definitely worth your money.
