Boo hoo, I don’t like this, boo hoo I don’t like that. 😂😂 My God people stop complaining and just appreciate these cars for what they are. This hobby is meant to be fun and make you smile. If these cars in Greg’s video don’t make you smile, go find ones that do make you smile. Life is too short to complain about such trivial things as what an RC car does or doesn’t have on it. I love all of these. I have the Gorgon. And can’t wait until the Fury 223s hits the stores cause I’m grabbing one. Great video, Greg. Keep ‘em coming!
It's called giving feedback dude. If everyone just unquestionably 'appreciates' every single thing that comes out, then nothing would ever improve. You keep giving your opinions and we'll keep giving ours 👍
@ yes, feedback in either direction is crucial. However negative comments and whining are unnecessary. Also, the guys reviewing these cars on RUclips are just that, reviewers. Making hateful negative comments about the products or whining to the reviewer is pointless and makes no sense. Just what exactly do people expect someone like RCDriver online to do about aspects of an RC car they don’t like? See my point? They can’t do anything. So being negative and hateful to the reviewers is childish. If there’s something you don’t like about an Arrma car, complain to ARRMA. If there’s something you don’t like about a traxxas car, complain to TRAXXAS. Making these reviewers feel like it’s their fault you don’t like the car is immature.
Looks like another killer rig from Arrma. This is the best review of this car on you tube by far. I like how Greg takes them apart to show the internals.
Definitely a nice truck - but the real star of this video is that location! Would love to have somewhere like that around. The Gorgon made a nice showing too, 3s would likely be too much for that one
My 3s vortex has been absolutely amazing , it has been bashed it’s been round our local track,it’s clocked 45 mph on a 3s knackered lipo what a great little ripper! The 4s should be awesome
I have a year old Vorteks and its a ton of fun. I have yet to skatepark it but it comes out when the weather is bad and thrashes my backyard properly. I keep seeing all these new vehicles and wishing I had more yard and money to buy moar :D
I had the old Vorteks 4x4 BLX and it seems as though the new version has fixed a lot of the issues. 1) Plastic diff pinion would strip - replaced with metal 2) Plastic pivot balls wear out - replaced with metal 3) Stock ESC would cut with 50% charge remaining - new ESC does not 4) Slipper clutch replaced with centre diff I kept breaking shocks at the skatepark on the old version, and the new shock design looks to be the same so that's a disappointment, and the 223s looks to be a little slower. Also you'll need a new radio set if you want to upgrade the ESC. So hopefully the BEC can handle a decent servo.
I've thought about that so many times. If they don't, they have dropped the ball honestly. a monster truck without a brushless 4x4 option on a bulletproof platform like that is idiotic.
Man that was a great skatepark. Personally I think 1/10 scalers are best for skateparks. The new 223s system is cool, really cool for a RTR it’s already ready already just plug in and go and now they have all the center diff module too. This is just all good. But only as an rtr. The electronics being a 2n1 kinda a stink but really overlookable seeing as it comes with the slt3. Pretty damn descent for an rtr. Doesn’t feel cheap like the slt2 does. And for a basher who need all that dial in ability. GREAT WORK ARRMA!!!!! And as far as the 223s gorgon, we can only hope it’s already in the works. I feel like it was a test and then the new 3s line up came out and boom boom boom back to back releases vortex fury mega then now the typhon and senton 223s. That is gonna be people first upgrades now from the mega platform. Now, can’t wait to see what’s in store for the 6s line. All these changes can’t be just for the smaller side of it.
My wife's Vorteks is our share car / beater, and it just wont stop. Still fun to drive. Might be time to give her away to a family that needs toys and get the wife an upgrade.
Just pre-ordered it this morning with another RC now I don’t know if I’m gonna keep the ones I bought just a month ago as I am running out of space I picked up 93 RC since June 15 with seven more on the way I have some shorts up for my car trucks just having fun man just having fun
@ I do for sure. When I get into something new I tend to over do it (says my wife) but Im just learning what I like best size,speed type etc. Now that I know what I like and don’t like I will downsize and be more careful with what I buy. Thank god my wife is patient with me but its not like Im spending our savings etc Im going to give a few away on my channel just need to figure out a fair way,maybe a program etc still doing research.
@PC_TV_73 building minster trucks and scale trucks is a good warm up for building trial trucks. They're pretty fun to make. Lots of unique parts. Running out of space sneaks up on you fast.
The choice between this and the Redcat Valkyrie, is not a comparison. For $300 I'm buying a 2nd Valkyrie which outperforms nearly everyone of Arrma's 6s vehicles let alone this. Bigger differentials in the Valkyrie than in the 6s Arrma lineup despite being only 4s. Plus, you can change the receiver. Redcat did every manufacturer a dis-service by creating a $300 vehicle that is better than most 6s out of the box vehicles.
And damn,i only got 2 crawlers,but gorgon, even brushed,it somehow calling my name,so i dont need never put 3s on my trx4 sport high trail when i want to fun around( i use 2s,i want long life for it) :)
The only thing that is an upgrade is the center diff. Not interested in this downgrade from arrma. This whole 223 line is obviously geared towards a younger crowd and for those that dont care about the electics. Horizon doesn't care about bashers like me or what i think😂
I know I'll sound like an old cynic, but this whole "223S system" is just marketing BS. Pretty much any 3S car can simply be run slower by opting for a 2S, just like a 4S car like a Mojave or Hammer Rey can be run a bit slower on a 3S, but they dont call those a "324S system" Why cant Arrma just keep calling all of these new models "3S" cars and then remind people they can always lower the max speed via the handset, if letting a kid drive it or wanting extended run time. This isn't a complaint at you Greg; I love your videos. I'm just sick of hearing all of the RC RUclipsrs saying "223S system" over the last few weeks, as if Arrma have invented something new.
I hear you. But here's the thing. Did you know the RC industry has on average a 60% consumer turn-over rate every year? Although this stuff may sound familiar to you and other seasoned enthusiasts, there's a whole new wave of other people that this is all new to. The easier it is for them to get into and understand the hobby, the better chance we have of keeping them in and excited about our little world. That's why some of us keep discussing the ease and benifits related to these new products. Its our passion to help keep the industry growing. We know that exisiting hobbyists can extract the other information provided in the video to decide if this is an RC they want to pursue for their collection.
Great! Now if i want to use my radio i have to swap out the whole ESC! Thanks Arrma…. I really was hoping they would ditch this system, but it seems they are gonna put it in every car now..
Hi I'm looking at one of these rc cars to buy which one would you recommend rc AMORIL 1/10 RTR Brushless or DEERC 1:14 Fast Brushless RC I'm getting it of amazon any input would be greatful thank you. P.s keep up the great work love your videos.
@creekcreeperrc7972 - cement board tape the body, a layer of e6000 and a bit of duct tape at the back on top of that and your good👍 All my basher bodies get this treatment because it's prover 4x as tuff. Vorteks Kraton Mojave Senton Baja Rey you get the 👉 👈 🤣
Arrma or horizon hobby at least did you guys give us the option to upgrade the Sway Bars????????? Come on horizon hobby.... At least give us the option because when you put the 3S line on the track it roll off we need traction that's why we asking you this does the new 223s have the option to upgrade to Sway Bars???
I could see how much fun you were having, awesome! Thanks Greg!
Boo hoo, I don’t like this, boo hoo I don’t like that. 😂😂 My God people stop complaining and just appreciate these cars for what they are. This hobby is meant to be fun and make you smile.

Big rock v4! I’m impatiently waiting
Looks like another killer rig from Arrma. This is the best review of this car on you tube by far. I like how Greg takes them apart to show the internals.
Slap a set of Bone Saws on it and you'll dig it even more! Great Review Greg!!
Good suggestion!
Definitely a nice truck - but the real star of this video is that location! Would love to have somewhere like that around.
The Gorgon made a nice showing too, 3s would likely be too much for that one
Such a perfect spot…Arrma should use this video as a selling point, worked for me 😂🍻
My 3s vortex has been absolutely amazing , it has been bashed it’s been round our local track,it’s clocked 45 mph on a 3s knackered lipo what a great little ripper! The 4s should be awesome
Arma the new Vortex is amazing looking good 👍 Thanks for sharing this 🙏😊
What an awesome bash at that killer skatepark!!! LOVE IT!!! Thanks for posting!!
Yup, now it’s time for a cool build to bring there. 😉
Great informative video! We will have these soon if you're located around Salem Oregon!
I have a year old Vorteks and its a ton of fun. I have yet to skatepark it but it comes out when the weather is bad and thrashes my backyard properly. I keep seeing all these new vehicles and wishing I had more yard and money to buy moar :D
It almost looks like the wheelbase is shorter then mine. Hmmm
Never been a Vortek fan, but it has grown on me!😂😂
Hopefully the Gorgon gets some love as well
Fingers crossed. After driving it with the new system, I was impressed.
I'd call that concaved spherical part of the park the eyesocket!
Nice video Greg and thank you ❤
Really hope they update the granite next. It needs dsc
I had the old Vorteks 4x4 BLX and it seems as though the new version has fixed a lot of the issues.
1) Plastic diff pinion would strip - replaced with metal
2) Plastic pivot balls wear out - replaced with metal

The Gorgon is smooth. Arrma needs to give the Gorgon the set up you made on it plus make it 4x4.
I've thought about that so many times. If they don't, they have dropped the ball honestly. a monster truck without a brushless 4x4 option on a bulletproof platform like that is idiotic.
What a skatepark 🎉 Suberb review 👍🏻
Man that was a great skatepark. Personally I think 1/10 scalers are best for skateparks.

How does the top speed compare to the previous 3S system?
Greg, do you think there will be a retrofit of the center diff for the V1 3S models?
That skatepark looks very familiar. Is that in Round Rock, TX?
Nuts that first 19 sec x)
Great vid!
With all these clipless bodies, how would you mount a custom body?
Do we know if all the parts are interchangeable from the previous version?
where is this skate park? I'm in ct and would love to bring one of my clod's there
naugatuck, rt8
Wow what a nice body on that vorteks pretty sweet...
This or the new V4 Senton and why? I can't decide.
These are very enticing offers by Arrma to get new people into the hobby. As for me, I’m getting the new Senton. #shortcoursetrucksforlife
Are you from Connecticut? I know where naugatuck is!! I'm like 30 minutes from there that's awesome
Great skatepark. Great bash. Really fun.
Would you get this or Rusler 4 x 4?
absolutely this. i have both, the rustler just doesn't have the value per dollar. plus the traxxas electronics just aren't it.
You missed a huge opportunity not running 3s in that Gorgon😐 That's what I was waiting to see 😢
What’s that slipping sound it makes at high rpm?
Dome of Doom! Lol, that sounds pretty good 👍🏼
That’s a good one!
My wife's Vorteks is our share car / beater, and it just wont stop. Still fun to drive. Might be time to give her away to a family that needs toys and get the wife an upgrade.
That 2in 1 esc can u adjust punch and stuff on it or u can't....
What kv and pinion size is in the Gorgon ?
did you notice the metal input gear inside that yoke with the plastic ring gear diff
Gorgon was pretty cool
Just call that circle the "VORTEX OF DOOM"
I have a product for the center diff that locks the spur down and keeps it from coming loose
Just pre-ordered it this morning with another RC now I don’t know if I’m gonna keep the ones I bought just a month ago as I am running out of space I picked up 93 RC since June 15 with seven more on the way I have some shorts up for my car trucks just having fun man just having fun
Sounda like you need to do some custom builds. Slow down the impulse buys.
@ I do for sure. When I get into something new I tend to over do it (says my wife) but Im just learning what I like best size,speed type etc. Now that I know what I like and don’t like I will downsize and be more careful with what I buy.

You need to action cam that circle
Did they fix its biggest problem? Letting rocks in to jam the servo. The dreaded rc rock shake
No. They fixed many other things, but the little rocks could not be fixed. Maybe a little bit, i dont know.
Can’t believe the diff.
The only thing that is an upgrade is the center diff.
Not interested in this downgrade from arrma. This whole 223 line is obviously geared towards a younger crowd and for those that dont care about the electics.
Horizon doesn't care about bashers like me or what i think😂
Is there gonna be a new Granite coming out, too?
Yes. Maybe next week with theBigRock.
Length wise vs older one blx 3s
I'm sold I'm getting one of each
ThunderDome
Like that
I know I'll sound like an old cynic, but this whole "223S system" is just marketing BS.
Pretty much any 3S car can simply be run slower by opting for a 2S, just like a 4S car like a Mojave or Hammer Rey can be run a bit slower on a 3S, but they dont call those a "324S system"
Why cant Arrma just keep calling all of these new models "3S" cars and then remind people they can always lower the max speed via the handset, if letting a kid drive it or wanting extended run time.

bros typing paragraphs over nothing
@rcdriver I appreciate your well composed response Greg 👍
NOPE not paying 330 for combined esc and receiver BS
Great! Now if i want to use my radio i have to swap out the whole ESC! Thanks Arrma…. I really was hoping they would ditch this system, but it seems they are gonna put it in every car now..
2 in 1 esc’s are so problematic…
Hi I'm looking at one of these rc cars to buy which one would you recommend rc AMORIL 1/10 RTR Brushless or DEERC 1:14 Fast Brushless RC I'm getting it of amazon any input would be greatful thank you. P.s keep up the great work love your videos.
Ayyyy this spot looks familiar! Glad that you liked it!! Thanks for the shout out man, great video!! 🤙🤙
Plastic ring gears??? Hardddd pass.
that vorteks looks so generic and terrible. maybe its just those ugly wheels
Having said that... this little thing is my favorite 3s rocket, now on 150a 4s. This damn thing is so wild!!
So I bought another one🙄🤑
Here I am thinking this is my favorite looking one yet and that I need it 😅
I disagree.
Too short,uncontrollable, and the body gets destroyed instantly
@creekcreeperrc7972 - cement board tape the body, a layer of e6000 and a bit of duct tape at the back on top of that and your good👍
All my basher bodies get this treatment because it's prover 4x as tuff.
