"Why you complaining about the stickers"...."Cuz stickers are supposed to stick!" LOL, great answer.

That’s better 😊😊 I’m sure all of us who voted for the Notorious wanted/expected you to get the V5 - you look and sound so much happier 👍🙂🙂👌

Just shows how much difference a decent radio makes.

I made the mistake of trusting some reviewers about some arrm cars and got ripped off. 800€ down the drain for the outcast here in Spain, for all the 6s EXB and BLX lineup you need to buy an extra card to somehow program the esc and change a setting to not make the car feel like crap, have to refill the oil inside the diffs with proper weight to make the car work somehow fun and not explode the tires, the exposed center diff is a grinder for motor wires and pebbles, the arms are made of glass for some reason, they don't bend they break with the most mild crashes and now have to spend more money in rpm arms, the servo saver is just wrongly made, it is way too stiff and Im counting the days until it breaks the servo, you literally pay premium for an average product, mechanic simulator, that is not very different from most of the other rc cars in the market, not to mention dealing with these stupid straps for the battery and the body clips that takes like 3 minutes to take off or put on, just for the handy battery locking system and the reinforced cage/no body clip designs on the traxxas makes them automatically worth it, how people recommend arrma over any high end traxxas car or even losi is beyond stupidity, guess arrmas must be cheaper in the states or some people just want to work on their trucks for the sake of it. And I thought: wow these cars don't look like they have half of the R&D traxxas has, but maybe if the community is so big with these, arrmas must be sick, terrible mistake.

I think I figured out why I like watching your videos because you’re having so much fun it’s fun to watch!!!!!!! Thanks thanks 🙏

Man you have hands down the best RC car channel. I’m pretty new to cars and trucks coming from FPV quads and I’m learning a BUNCH from from you so your work is much appreciated sir!

Glad you are enjoying this one alot more! They did a great job with the upgrades. Awesome!

I just bought one 2 days ago....I love this rig...it’s my second arrma after my typhon 3s....so fun

Been waiting for this video. Thoroughly enjoyed and great information

Definitely the coolest thing about the arrmas is how well they jump. Lands so we'll

Excellent insight and I love your opinion throughout this video series! You are one of the best in the biz! Love your stuff! 🤝🏎🤙🏽🏎🤝

The slt3 doesn't have any sort of AVC. What is happening is the wheels are so heavy, that it is over powering the servo saver spring. I put a Kraton EXB servo saver spring in it, and it helped, but didn't completely cure it. Lighter wheels did, but then it isn't as precision controlled in the air.

You have the best RC videos on KZfaq. You’re so much more likable than the typical other channels, never annoying, you don’t yell and act obnoxious and you don’t act like a know it all. I appreciate what you’re doing. Keep it up! What’s next for you? Upgrading any of your Traxxas models, maybe? The latest thing seems to be the Losi Super Baja Rey 2.0. It’s pricey, but it looks like a lot of fun and it’s different from everything else you have. For some reason - in my mind I was thinking construction of some sort was your day job, so interesting to hear you’re a graphic designer. Not sure why I thought construction...was just a hunch. An incorrect one, though.

On my Notorious and my Kraton I ran 60K F, 500K C, and 30K F. Just a suggestion. Im glad you gave Arrma another chance following the V4 video. Although it took a lot longer than I think it should have at least Arrma finally listened and swapped out the electronics (especially the garbage STX2). I currently have the V4 Kraton with a ton of upgrades and may get some of the V5 parts for it to finish it off. But for now I have it perfect. Like I said I am running the above listed diff fluids, a 15T pinion with dual fans on the motor. When I first ran the 15T pinion the ESC was over heating and shutting down. What I did to fix it was install the stock Maxx ESC fan into the BLX185. This fan has a higher amperage and spins a lot faster and is a direct fit. Just had to swap the connector. That solved the over heats and its the perfect combo of punch and speed using the 15T pinion at Punch level 6.

Love the video!! I'm so happy you got the v5 and like it. Looks to be a great fit for your driving style! Also, if you go thicker center diff fluid, you won't need nearly as much punch. It will change not only the launches, but how it flips in the air. The rate of change of the rotating mass of the front wheels in the air makes a huge difference in how it handles mid air flips. Once i upped my center diff fluid, double back flips became much easier. And I made a ramp based off of your 45 degree ramp. Also that front flip in the grass that was wicked cool happens super easy on this truck whenever you back out of the throttle on even a slight down hill. Keep on rocking on the videos!!! Love your channel and has helped me get through Covid!

Very nice, keep your wheels/stickers on tight, that black Notorious is looking good man 👀 Those arrmas are monsters flat out, scary fast. I love it

Glad you had a better experience this time 👍 If you go 500k in the center it won't bleed as much power to the front and you will be able to pull off standing backflips 🤩

As always great video. Gland you like your new V5. Arrma RC's are awesome. Thanks for sharing. John

Glade u got you the updated one bud. They r way better than older ones .

I bought it yesterday. Mainly based off of your review. Thanks

My man is now one of the good guys ARRMA FAN BOY

I bought a v4 Notorious in the beginning of 2020, and I love it. I'm not an RC expert by any means, but after a few upgrades (like the servo, servo mount, and new radio) it's incredible. I've sent it tumbling, I've sent it off dirt jumps, crashed it, brought it mudding, crashed it on asphalt, and I haven't broken anything luckily. Only thing is the knuckles for the tires keep coming loose, I have to tighten after almost every time I take it out

It's just the weight of the wheels. It actuallylooks pretty cool in my opion. My Notorious is on of my favorite trucks.

I got into the hobby a month ago. Bought a traxxas raptor and ECX monster truck second hand but in great condition for fair prices and im hooked. Now im contemplating an arma and came across a couple of your videos. Instantly subscribed, I really like the depth, energy and overall vibe in your videos. keep them coming 💯 🔥

I'm so glad you explained the turning thing. I've done absolutly everything I can think of to get it to turn better on power. I can stop now. haha Thanks I learned something today.

I just got back into RC... when I was 16 I had a team associated buggy. I love Arrma! I just got my first Arrma about 2 weeks ago and its a beast! ARRMA is the bashing king! Keep up the cool videos! btw... I would get an 8s Kraton before the 8s Outcast.✌

Hi! Seems that you are quite happy now with the new V5 👍 The TSM effect from the front wheels in the air comes from the type of tires. Nothing to worry about. On big big jumps it helps to keep the rig stable in the air. Looks odd, but when you land they are straight again. Punch 9 is a lot. I do my extreme jumps on level 4, how it comes stock. With 1,000,000 in the Center this rig makes standing backflips 😁 Over all this rig is intended to be a stunt truck. The Kraton is the same thing but with longer wheelbase and turns under power like you would expect. Also you can get the tires as low profile (from the Outcast 4S) with improves handling in terms of turning. Have fun and bash on! 😘

AVC is the correction system. Its the last dial on the top right side where your other trim settings are on your transmitter. Thicker center diff fluid should help keep front tires on the ground and less ballooning

Awesome show !! I love the Notorious. Truck of the Century !! My xmaxx 8s is collecting dust.

The front bumper lol "DO NOT BASH. BLAST"

I've never seen someone drive an Arrma 6s so carefully , compared to some other you tubers we know ( What Happened )

Just got my Notorious, dang it's a fun little truck!

Man, thumbs up for counting the frames per second and the 6 frame pull to show how much latency

There is a tsm turn it all the way down. I believe it’s the dial near the steering on the controller

Great 👍 Video !! Great Area for your RC by the way !

I own traxxas and arrma . When I got my v2 kraton I was amazed by its durability. My brushless erevo was a nightmare. Broke shafts all the time. Put mip shalfs in it then it would blow those little diffs they put in them. My favorite rc truck and buggy are kraton, notorious,4x4 slash,4x4 stampede, losi 5t, and hpi baja 5b. Both with full mod 34cc obr reedcase engines.

Just watched a few of your videos and subscribed. I enjoy videos where they are informative and people just having fun and not destroying these r/c cars right out of the box.

Finally got an Arrma since your Notorious unboxing. I now have both 3s and 6s Typhons. Gotta say, your love of the Typhon appearance sold me on it

Glad to see you got a current version. They are a great truck! I have found the tuck to be very durable. The body on mine has taken huge hits over and over and it's still in good shape.

Just wanted to add another comment. I decided to get the same V5 Notorious. Im stripping all my aluminum and other upgrades off my Kraton V4 to put on the Notorious V5. This video was one of the reasons I decided to get it. And its my Christmas gift to myself!!

one of the best reviews i have seen.

The outcast is hard to beat, I've the V1 and never had a problem with it

Now you have really experienced an Arrma💪. Welcome to the fam. Started back into the hobby with a Revo, ditched it to my Step-son quickly in favor of my Notorious which has evolved into a beefcaked Kraton 😁

Nice video 🙂 About the battery tray: Well, there are 2 sides of the coin. I fully understand your logic that it is easier to use on the Traxxas cars. On the other hand, one of the main reasons why I never considered buying a E-Revo (or UDR) is the Battery tray. I hate the idea of the battery tray limiting me to special Lipos from a special brand. I have 3S Hardcase Lipos that I use in every car. Nothing wrong with your point of view though, this are just personal preferences. 😉

looks great ! glad youre happy with the v5! Looks like someones done some mad hooning in that car park haha ! happy RCing!

The Kraton has longer wheelbase and it don’t push in cornering as bad as the short wheelbase

I run 200k in my center diff on my Maxx to help with torque loss because I’m running 26/46 gearing. It’s crazy that it still wheelies when going full speed if just barely tap the trigger. I did an 8s swap and it was just ridiculous almost did standing backflips with the wheelie bar on.

Now you see why we love are Arrma.

The batteries take a pounding when you have the punch seething on Max! Try punch on 7, that’s a good compromise between power and run time. 👌 Great video by the way, best I’ve seen on the V5.

I like that you like it 👍love arrma cars

In my opinion it makes it easier to control with thicker diff fluid in the center. I run 1 million on my notorious. Oh.. and I think the batteries last he same, time just flies when you’re having fun! Lol

I got a Notorious for myself for Xmas and all my stickers were curling up as well. Fine with me. It's got too damn many decals on it anyway so I ripped most of them off. Also swapped the "Notorious" decals for the "ARRMA" decals that came with it. It's a great truck even with the 4S batteries I am running.

I bought a senton 3s batteries and all. put tons of money into it. and every other run I was breaking sh!t. I bought one of these and said BYE to the senton. hands down the NOTORIOUS 6s is one of thee BEST purchases I've made.

It has a gyro for stability. I don't own it but you can check if there's a gyro dial that you can turn down or off.

Oh shit, peep his Stang in the background.

Wait what YAY!!! I did not expect this at all.

I’m glad you had a better experience the second time around because that is a lot of money.

Loved this video man I’m going to buy this instead I really want the outcast but I’ll just wait for the new one coming June

It’s a gyro in the esc. And feeing like the battery didn’t last longer is a good thing. Time flies when you’re having fun

Just ordered the same truck, glad I did after watching this.👍

Ok thank you My hobby shop said today Spektrum is coming out with a new charger in a few weeks & it’s supposed to be much better than the current one. We’ll hang in until it comes out & will pick them all up together Thank you again A Subscriber

Another Great Video. I have the V4 and this version looks Great. Arrma does always step up. Im learning how to Jump no where near your skills.

Great vid. Have fun, don't be afraid to bash it!

Felt like I should share this. I dreamt about the guy buying your V4 😂 it was all cool, he liked it and knew all about the V4 before hand. He said as long as he drove fast enough you didnt didn't notice the lag

I got the same batt. I love it

Thanks for sharing 👍

Hi Budd. I really enjoy your videos I learned alot thanks for that. I am 42 yrs old and I have a amazing nephew that I bought him a traxxs bigfoot he went crazy lol. But at the same I decided to get my first ever RC truck so I went with Arrma notorious 6s 5v I think it's a good RC for ppl yes it the proper way but main point you helped with my decision to purchase one. I can't wait tell get here damn UPS lol cheers Budd.

AVC is about the same as TSM. Truck looks good. Been debating one of these but not sure. Like the style of the body. Dont care for the look of most of the Arrmas. Have owned about every Traxxas vehicle. Only things holding me back are how easy Traxxas stuff is to get...and dont want to change battery/charger set ups. Diving into a new brand is like the initial cost of getting in to the hobby initially. I enjoy your videos, thanks for the honest reviews.

Usually spektrum has avc they have at 6100 receiver in them they have avc but u can adjust with rate knob

Arrma is making some sweet trucks, they need to build a better dealer network. I'm a Traxxas fanboy because I can go 10 mins down the road and fix the broken bits instantly.

Spektrum has this technology called AVC (Automatic Vehicle Control) . Basically it is a gyro built in to the Spectrum SR315 receiver...

It almost seems like when these companies engineer their RC cars that they just pack them up in a box and sell them leaving you , the customer to straighten out what they should have before it ever got sold but they don't and that is a shame . The sad thing is that the costs could actually be kept down by just doing it right to start with .I understand that these things are going to break no matter what . Its just the nature of the business but when you sink $500 to $700 into them one would thing that every aspect of quality should have been priority from the get go .

Looks much better than the first attempt. Nice to see the second chance to try it out.

Much better than the last one. Their stickers need to be stickier. A bet HH is loving this review. They should pull all the old one's off the shelves or give huge discounts on them. You out the person i look to for what car's to buy or not buy. As for me, I think I'll stay with the TRAXXAS RCs. So why id there a gear exposed on the bottom? That can't be good going through dirt and water.

My man! I'm brand new to the RC world and I was really on the fence between traxxas and arrma. From my research and this video I've finally come to a conclusion. I think traxxas is more durable and stable. Arrma is faster (more punch) and more practical. Practical in that I'm not trapped by traxxas and their proprietary battery set up. I was really looking at the felony, but you got me thinking about the notorious. Great vid and happy driving!!

Typhon V5 drives insane. You need one 😎👍

Thats more like it! Now I want one again!

AVC first knob on the side of transmitter turn it all the way to the left turns it off

You have to give it to them as a company, when people complained about the v4 the company fixed the majority of the issues on the v5 just shows the power of the people. Wish Apple and Samsung and other did this!!!

I’ve seen a few videos on Arrma vehicles (like Kevin Talbots) and I’m glad I went with the E-Revo for my big purchase RC. I love bashing it and have no fear of losing radio control with my 2 year old nearby. I can send it on jumps and it’s built so well. I really enjoy your honest videos. Keep it up, I know it must be a good amount of work to put them together.

AVC setting for the gyro control .. should be clear in the manual. Nice upgrades on this V5

Now this is how your first review of an Arrma should have been ! Great job , I could tell 5min in you were very happy now . My V2 Noto ( tactic radio ) , has all the V3 chassis upgrades , I run mine with 20k in the fr / rr diffs , and 300k in the center , punch 5 . Perfect recipe IMO . Try on 4s , you'll love it to !! Wait til you ad the wide kit and metal shafts and hexes ,.....oh that's not this truck LOL !!!! I had the Maxx when I got my Noto , and it basically ruined the Maxx for me on how this is much more stable/planted/controllable/etc . It's to bad you didn't live close to me to let you try my Talion / Mojave / K8S to really see some of their lineup !!! Feel free to watch some of my vids .

AVC. You need a spektrum dx5 to access it and all the telemetry.

Oh the AVC (Active Vehicle Control) should be a dial on remote, turn it to 10% or off

You can use a hair dryer on the body to get the stickers to stick firmer

Arrma's version of TSM is AVC. There might be a knob on the radio to deactivate it.

It will do front flips on good ramp . But punch setting brings it alive

Looks better than the first version. Thanks for the update video. It isn't a Trashas Stability Manglement. And It isn't Audio Visual Control either, but back knob on the radio? AVC/Steering Rate? Yeah that is your Greek samwich gain adjustment.

I'm really impressed by how well balanced this RC is. The way it wants to always land on its wheels..

Thanks for the video. Did you just swap the V4 for V5 or did you get the V5 as well?

I’m late to this video, but you did a good job! I have an older notorious with the old problems. They are probably not available any more, but I put an Axial Yeti buggy body on my notorious. It looks cool! I replaced all of the Axial stickers with Arrma and Amsoil stickers. The weird thing is the original Arrma body posts were all in the exact same location as the holes in the Yeti body, just slightly different hole diameter. Easy adjustment. It looks like a Yeti on steroids! I’d include a pic but I don’t know how. 🤔

I just ordered one !!!!!!!!! I’m so flipping pumped

I am kinda out of bashing, but I would like to grab the v5. I just have limited rc time sometimes.

I think the Traxxas E-Revo 2.0 is the middle ground between Arrma Kraton and the Arrma Notorious/Outcast.

The outcast is wheelie beast also. You can wheelie it out of site lol 😂

Great vid man🤘🏼🤘🏼🇺🇲

Probably the Inertia of the tires and weak servo saver, my slash 4x4 does it too and I don’t have tsm

Nice wheelie

Haha that was awesome! Loved that flip of luck you had coming down the hill haha! 😂💯👏 Rippin through those leaves was cool too. Psh, who needs a rake? 😆 Glad to see you had so much more fun with the V5. That v4 might not be much DIFF-erent 😁 than the V5 if you get a new radio. Take care, looking forward to the next rip! 👊👊👊😈👍👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺

I like your videos because you always laugh in them! Seems like you have fun making them
