@LVC RC It's a great truck especially if you looking for an alternative to the 4x4 Rustler. Going to run it as a pavement basher. Got some hop-ups coming😊

@@ReadySetRC Sweet! Can’t wait to see the upgrades. 👊

@Great Lakes RC So true, I missed that. Getting a quality brand RC for a wallet on a budget. Has me slowing down on basher purchases.

Went to my lhs and picked up the vorteks for $329 in green/blue of course😅❤

@UD RC Thank you👍👍 You have some great videos on this truck!

@@ReadySetRC I appreciate that brother. 👊🏾💯💪🏾🔥

Hi what tires did you get for grass, as grass sucks ass lol

@CoachD RC Thank you fam🤜🤛

@Island RC -Duke Thanks Duke! I wish Arrma would do the right thing by this truck. Don't think they know what they really have with this.

@Fiat Fixie Sweet💪👍

Different animal off road as in using it on grass ?, Looking at getting a vortek or senton an will be mainly used on grass, not sure which would be more suitable

@@jonathannewman9558 For me it was the gravel and sand performance. Original tires are terrible there. I don't drive it on grass much but I recall the traction not being great with the original tires. New wheels and tires are pretty hefty investment right off the bat. The price of a good Lipo battery! Knowing what I know now I might have gone with the Typhon or the Big Rock for the better stability on bumpy terrain. They're both built on an identical chassis's and suspension. The Vorteks is a blast on more even terrain though.

@@fiatfixie4344 appreciate the reply 👍. I currently have the typhon but looking for something I can customize abit more ie body shells etc an bash a bit more hence the senton or vortek. I don't mind saving for a decent set of tires tbh. Does make me wonder is it worth getting the senton that is cheaper an use the savings compared to the price of the vortek to upgrade the senton. 🤔

@@jonathannewman9558 I hear that. The tires weren't cheap, but wow did they wake the thing up. I've gone back to the stock pinion with those taller lighter tires. The electronics handle it fine and definitely flies. I confess other than adding 5 mil spacers on the front shocks I've invested no effort in suspension tuning. I know I'm not getting the most out of it. The stock color graphics on the Vorteks is not my thing but I think that body design and stance is about as bad ass as it gets. Can't wait to see what it will look like with cleaner paint scheme. Either way it sounds like you have a fun project ahead of you) Cheers man.

Yea they were a steel at 300 , amazing how only 100 changes the perspective, they do give you the better remote but dosen't have avc , also they could've gave us the 130 amp esc capable of 4s , there cost we talking 10 bucks

@@paulclancy2404 It not really the price point that completely kills it for me, it’s more of the type of truck it is and what I’d have to change just for me to enjoy it, if that makes sense. On a side note if I was going to go out and spend $300-$400 on a 3s truck right now I’d probably get that AE mt10 rival.

@Tyler R Stadium trucks are always a hard swallow. Not a buggy and not a truggy. Strange enough the gen1 Vorteks and this one are the only ones I ever bought. That AE MT10 Rival is a solid truck.

@@ReadySetRC I most certainly agree! I have a savage like the one you’ve been upgrading so I know your a man of culture lol, love your vids and looking forward to more savage videos!

@@240brah I briefly owned the Rival MT when it was the Helion but never ran it. I love the Kaiju though and the Rival seems to be a scaled down Kaiju.... Although, as much as I love the Granite and it is often considered the King of 10 scale monster trucks I finally got the Redcat MT10e and it is AMAZING. Brutally tough and I brutalized it for over a month and a half before I broke the servo saver. It's the only thing that I broke! You really need to consider the Redcat MT 10e.

@Paul Clancy Like where you are going with that😊 Kaiju maybe a little more truck especially if we are talking as a park basher. But the Vorteks does have a ton of part support going for it.

@@ReadySetRC are you gonna get the Pro-line shock upgrades?

@John wick I love the Senton, was my first one from the 3S lineup. It just does not fit this discussion.

@John wick It's actually coming from the clutch assembly. I gave a shout out to Earl Moorehead on my first run. He mentioned it and put a fix out but I had other plans in mind😊

Didn't he just use slipper from another truck he had already put steel spur , so made hard to pinpoint the if metal spur or fact he used older slipper . I have two of the 3s lineup already and bought clutch assy and had a problem with it so I still need two clutches and electronics, making it cheaper to just buy new one , my granite was one best rtr rcs I've owned I used that thing 7 days a week for over a year lol 😆

@Dale Pearce 😂😂Nike hasn't done anything in years which is why they keep releasing classic sneakers. Not sure if you are new to the channel but I haven't seen you comment before but I've done that format and it doesn't work for people who have never been on the channel or seen the prior videos.

@cherandissanayake9530 Yup a 4x4 stadium.
