I love that Arrma is fighting back against the budget RC world with such a good deal in an awesome RC with loads of performance potential, not to mention steady and ready parts supply to go along with it. This car is a home run for Arrma

@@Rek_Rc time will tell how really robust the drive train is. But spares are easily available. The only downside I can see so far, is that the bodies are relatively expensive, but hey, shoe goo and drywall tape. Does it look like non Gorgon bodies can be mounted?

@@johnellefa I can't think of any bodies that would fit besides the Gorgon body so far. But, you're right about the gearing, it's holding up so far but time will tell. Though, I did just post a short of it doing 62 MPH.

@@Rek_Rc fastest gorgon in the world . I love it 🤣

@@Rek_RcI think you are selling me on this gorgon….. all I have is mjx cars… I love them but as eassyyyy as the parts are to get for the mjx. I just want something that I can get parts within driving distance.

Ahahaha razor caught it! I love that channel, I'm going to have to go watch his video! Thanks a million for watching mine BTW!

I'm glad you saw it! It took a lot of passes to get it to not just flip onto its roof, but it was worth the effort!

I appreciate you watching it. I probably should have used a lower Kv system, but it was a blast trying to drive it.

Thank you buddy. It's a great car for bashing.

OMG you pretty much read my mind on the senton idea! That's exactly what I was planning to do with it.

It might have been even faster on the roof than the wheels, but we had no way to know hahahaha

It's a car that sells itself. 139 dollars, 1/10 scale, name brand, super durable, brushless ready, it actually might be the perfect budget basher and to come from a name like Arrma is awesome because parts support will be steady and ready.

Dam Straight. It's a totally amazing RC. It pumps new blood into the Arrma line of vehicles. For now unless I hit the lotto I'm sticking with all 3s cars. They are plenty fun for me at my level. I really dreamed of getting a LMT or Lasernut some day but my next car will definitely be the Gorgon. I already have the ESC and motor that is waiting for this awesome RC. I'm kind of thinking to get the black one and assemble it for even more fun. @@Rek_Rc

@@RCRoads the RTA kit was what I wanted but they were in backorder when I got mine. 3s 1/10 scale cars do everything at the same level of speed as larger scale more expensive cars. Aside from the price, and the size, I find the experience to be basically the exact same except that 1/10 scale cars are easier to afford, drive, store, work on, and overall justify owning. 1/10 scale cars started this whole hobby basically, and it will always be the most popular hobby RC size I believe. If not for 1/10 scale RC cars the hobby might look much different than it does now and maybe not in a good way.

@@Rek_Rc Very well said. My limited personal experience with RC's has led me to believe that for offroad driving a 1/10 scale car works out much better than a smaller scale car. Not to big to carry and not too small to cut through rough stuff. Running 3s is plenty good for me and I'm sure if you dial stuff in like the gearing and electronics and add in a good battery you could really get some good speed. I'm still running with my 2 original 3s packs that I bought over a year ago and can't really notice a loss in power. The best thing I like about having 1/10 scale RC's is that as you said they are easy to work on.

Thank you so much! A good car like this makes it easy because it's so much fun it becomes contagious. You're right as well, Arrma proves a point with this release.

Just a change of equipment changed the whole channel it seems. I didn't realize how big the difference was until I looked at two videos side by side, it's a big difference.

I didn't think any budget car could blow my mind after my last MJX video. But this one raises they bar even higher!

Hahaha, I think it went faster on the roof than it did on the wheels. I really appreciate you checking it out sir, thank you!

@@Rek_Rc 😎👌

@@disciplinerc BTW, huge fan of your channel here. I catch pretty much every video.

Every time you and Sydney show up, a banger of a video happens. Thanks man!

The voltage is a great car for sure. I think that Arrma will make a BLX version of this just like they did the voltage granite.

It really is a steal even if left in stock form. I smell BLX in the air.

I could just about see that. I get it a little too.

They are good quality but can only run as high as 2s. I swapped the ESC to run 3s when it was brushed. The 6500Kv brushless system was a little too much but it was a total blast!

Traxxas makes great cars, it's just that Arrma does too, but for less money often times. I really love Traxxas cars but sometimes it's hard to justify buying them.

What a compliment! Thank you ! Many other channels are about to release some great content on this RC as well! Lots of good stuff to come for this car.

@@Rek_Rc I think if you stick with KZfaq it will blow up for you. You just have it.

It really is hard to believe it's as cheap as it is. Wait until you see how tough it actually is too! I hope you have a blast with it.

@@Rek_Rc I’m pretty excited to get this. You probably never will be able to get it full throttle unless you do some aero mods to it. I bet that van body acts like a huge sail. Maybe run it without the body and see how it does.

@@ReadytoRunRC I think you're right, full throttle won't happen without mods. I tried running it without the body, but it still just flips at the slightest flinch of the throttle. The body really is like a sail, but I figured since it looks cooler crashing with the body than without, I just rock it with it on hahahah. Arrma hit a home-run with this car.

Thanks a million, it really means a lot to me. Comments like yours really make my day!

Arrma hit a home-run with this one.

The gears are .8 mod so they can mesh with 32 pitch but I wouldn't put a ton of pressure on them that way. I went way too far with the 6500Kv though, but I used the stock pinion. I'm really going to miss that GPS, it's getting its own little case to RIP in. The potential of this car for 139 dollars is off the charts!

I misread this car at first too brother! But once it arrived, I was like "oh, Arrma actually wants people to love this car". I'm betting on a BLX version soon!

I'm not sure, but I know 6500Kv is the perfect amount to hit the roof really hard hahahah. If I backed it down a bit 50 would be pretty easy. But, I bet even a 3200 Kv could do it with the right gearing. Hopefully I'll find out later today.

Thank you! Always nice to hear from you. I appreciate you watching for so long!

@@Rek_Rc Your welcome, love the content, keep it up!!! 👍🏻✌🏻

@@EJ-74 will do! This is my favorite thing in the world!

It depends what motor you put in it. You could used a 5mm shaft motor or a 3mm (1/8) shaft motor, and yes the gearing is 32P

WOW THANK YOU! Made my day.

@@Rek_Rc You make my day with your videos mate.!! The passion & enthusiasm you have for the hobby is fantastic to see.. I suffer from PTSD/Anxiety disorder & bi-polar depression & I struggle with low self esteem & self confidence... Most days I have to fight with myself to get myself out the house with my RCs... I find watching videos like yours really helps motivate me.!! Also, I was in a very dark place about 4 years ago & was in hospital through alcoholism & depression, my Doctor asked me what I liked to do to pass the time & I replied "Nothing"... Drink, watch TV & feel sorry for myself was all I ever did.!! He urged me to start a hobby, so I decided to get back into RC after about 20 years away.. IT SAVED MY LIFE.!! That is not an exaggeration, I was suicidal at the time without any prospects of changing my situation. Getting back into RC is the absolute decision I ever made.!!! I'm now almost 4 years sober, I've quit smoking, I'm eating healthy, socialising more & exercising.. All because of getting out the house with my RCs.! I'm absolutely 💯% addicted to this wonderful hobby now, I think about it before falling asleep, I think about it as soon as I wake up, I work on them every day & (weather permitting) I take them out almost every day.! This hobby has helped me turn my life right around... But... I couldn't have done it without wonderful people just like yourself, who through your videos gave me the initial confidence to go outside & play with my toys... I really, really struggled to feel comfortable taking them out in public.. Once I started watching other adults doing it I found it so much easier.! Every day is still a battle, but I now have tools to help me that I didn't have before.! For the first time in years I'm getting enjoyment & satisfaction out of my life.!! So.. Having said all that, I'd like to tell you that I absolutely appreciate what you do & tell you a very heartfelt...... THANK YOU MY FRIEND.!!! 👍 👍 👍 👍 YOU DO AWESOME WORK.!! ♥ ♥ Please stay safe out there & best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️.

Yep, and we way over did it on top of that.

@Rek_Rc Yep, I'd brushless my dam toothbrush if I could, but the wifey would leave me, and I wouldn't blame her either

It's actually fantastic, it works really well, the radio and receiver both. Especially for how cheap they are. I love mine, I use them on almost all my 1/10 scale cars. The gyro sometimes wants to fight your steering input as it tries to keep the car straight, but it has sensitivity control on the radio.

I think you're right, and that's going to be huge when they do. If this was any indication of how it will be as a BLX, it's going to be one of the best!

Thank you. I will try it. I have a gnss analyzer, but that GPS has been with me since the beginning, it's been through so much. I love that thing and would like to keep it going.

Ah yes, that's the one weakness I noticed as well. It took a hammering though.

Not off hand but it's a spektrum 100A 6500Kv drag racing system. It's easy to find on Amazon, it's what losi puts into their 22s drag cars.

Spektrum 100a 6500Kv, the same system in the losi 22s drag car.

Spektrum 6500kv 100a

I just cut some of the rubber seal away from the wires and turned the motor so the wires were at the widest part of the opening. Then I just lined it up and mounted it in.

@@Rek_Rc Thanks! Did you use anything to reseal it? Just curious cause I am trying to decide between this and upgrading to brushless or going with an already brushless Kyosho Mad Van.

@@nervecentral no, I just cut away the seal, I've even driven it in rain since, and it was fine. But, the important part is to not cut the coating on the wires, just the seal at the base of them on the motor.

@@nervecentral no I didn't reseal it. But, there are longer brushless motors you can use. I only forced that 6500Kv motor in because I wanted it to be as crazy a car as I could make it without needing a 6s ESC.

Yep, that's what it's all about at the end of the day. If you're having fun, you're doing it right!

That it DOES! the granite wheelie bar is said to fit. I haven't tried it but someone told me it would.

It's not even drivable, but it sure is a blast trying.

Oh Great idea!!!

Well I was just beaten by a guy who did 76, check my community page for his video. But, that's ok, it's all good fun, and I'm not down and out yet hahahahahaha

I was looking for a good meme to go with it

When you get around to it, I hope you have a great time!

@@Rek_Rc i sure will!

Unfortunately we couldn't read our 3s speed because of the GPS breaking, but I was pleased with 45 MPH on 2s....to be continued! Hahahah. Thanks for checking it out!

OMG 4s would be totally insane. 3s was almost impossible with 6500Kv. Sounds like a blast though!

The thing is, I tried that, but there is so much RPM going to the wheels that with or without the body, it would flip really hard with a slight flinch of the throttle finger. So I elected to use the body to protect the electronics, especially the tall ESC from sliding along the road at those speeds.

@@Rek_Rc I feel yah my slash on 4s can't to any where with out parachute effect. Also you can tape your phone to your car for a speedometer lol good luck

It won't be a record that stands for long hahahaha

Oh, well that just confirms my suspicion that I'm not all that smart hahahahaha

@@Rek_Rc you’re in top 10…

@@skybugproductions7527 OMG really? That's awesome! Thanks for checking us out!

@@Rek_Rc lol

No, because the very next video made the world fastest gorgon for the time. By this point in this video nobody else's had gotten to the speed I got to on 2s by then either. So it still applied. Or maybe you didn't see how fast it went after I said that, which we couldn't measure until the following video, but still looked to be lightning fast. I won't clickbait my viewers or subscribers. I may use buzz words but I won't blatantly clickbait you

All I see is a cheap 2wd cheap Chinese toy that you made expensive. @@Rek_Rc

@@dannysdailys I didn't make it expensive, I already had the brushless system. You're 0 for 2 but if you keep swinging you'll eventually get the need to offend someone fulfilled, not me though. I didn't make the car anything, or its parts.

@@dannysdailys you're a real optimist aren't ya?
