    Pleeeese stop promoting RWD Monstertruck Fil!
    I just bought a used Slash RWD recently and realised how fun it is to drive. Now I am completely broke, but I really wanna but iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!😂
    OK, enough with dramatism, but I do believe RWD offroaders have their own charms. Slash, DT-03 which you recommended me earlier, DT-02 and DT01 I love all them to drive. Probablly because of the lighter weight compared to their 4WD counterparts, and capability of pulling of drifts.
    This Arrma seems rather quite similar to 4WD model, but still it should be quite fun to drive! Looking forward to your demonstration in the near future!!

    I love my Granite, it has seen some abuse and it is now fully upgraded to 3s capable and it is a monster! I am looking forward to getting my hands on the new Vorteks Mega 550 truck, just waiting for my LHS to get some more in stock.

    I've had two Arrmas. I had a 1/8 scale typhon, but sold it shortly afterwards. Too much car for what I wanted. But, my Typhon Grom is a different story, It's so much fun. Very agile, decently quick, like a radio controlled squirrel.

    Well I gotta agree with ya Fil, that's a lot of truck for your buck! Such a beefy looking rig with a great spec, should be able to take anything you can throw at it with the "mild" powerplant and RWD setup. But the advantage over most other entry level rigs is the built-in upgradability of this one! Can't wait to see you send it, dude! 😎🤘

    • @poorboysrc
      @poorboysrc  Месяц назад +1

      Isn't it funny that a 550 12T and 7 cell nimh is considered a "mild" setup? Hahaha. Back in the day, that would be a ballistic setup! Looks like the Skate Park is calling... Time to go bash! 😁👊🏼🍻

    Had a senton 3s. Bend the shock shafts on second outing otherwise very durable. Broken its chassis by the steering posts once by having it tarmac slam from a skate ramp. Do take out the inner hinge pings and grease them. Once they rusted in you will be cursing away trying to hammer these out.

    Looks pretty cool, Fil! while ago, I was at the indoor track and someone drove a Granite there, I had a look at it but didn't drive it, but it felt really nice, beefy!
    Good choice to get the 4x4 option already, I think it might be a bit "lacking" with only RWD. I like the Arrma concept, but would have been even more cool they would sell their cars as proper rollers, us hobbyists have transmitters enough, ha ha!

    • @poorboysrc
      @poorboysrc  Месяц назад

      Ah, now that would be something. An Arrma roller that needs assembly. Us Tamiya guys are so accustomed to having to assemble our kits, it's in our blood! Haha. I'm with ya, pal. 👊🏼

      Come back this comment in a year or so when you have had more time in the hobby.
      Beginner is easy to fix with readily available parts. A lot of cars are rtr or artr but there are lots of kits out there. The hornet is a perfect example of a beginner kit as most experienced builders can knock one up in a few hours or a beginner can start to understand the basics of what makes these cars work.

      @Death3336 batteries - fair point. Different compositions need to be treated differently and some if you get them wrong have serious repercussions.
      Diffs - in its simplest form, you are correct but the progression is how you set them differently up for best performance.
      As you have said, you are new to the hobby so have questions and that is perfectly fine as we all started somewhere. Maybe don't try and sound so dismissive though and you might find help or answers come to you more readily.
