Watching this vid 2 years later, great vid man.
Sorry for your loss ❤
Sorry to hear about the loss of your father sir.
Thanks
a trick : you can watch movies on flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Julian Coleman Yea, I've been watching on flixzone} for since november myself :)
@Julian Coleman yup, I have been using Flixzone} for months myself =)
I also feel sad about your father
I also love purple/pink and don’t care what others have to say about them. They’re awesome colors
I agree. Im a 36 year old man and to my surprise.... I actually like that purple/pink color combo too! LMAO 🤣 (just don't tell my buddies.) 🤭😆🤦🏼♂️👍🏽👍🏽
@@jordanjohnson5784 out of the options we get the pink and purple is the best looking, in my opinion the other combos just don't pop.
Condolences to you and your family mate. I lost my Dad in September last year so I know how you feel. The fact you went out and did a video like that shows amazing character and strength. Massive respect to you. Great Video and the Pink and Purple Vorteks is by the best colour scheme..
Thanks
I didn’t even see my dad’s dads
I'm sorry for your loss your father raised a good man in you I know he proud of you
I’m sorry to hear about your father passing away. I lost my mom last summer with no notice. It’s one the toughest things I have have ever been through. This weekend is tough!Hang in there and take time to grieve.
I've held off as I dont want to invest in batteries just now but I'd have it in purple/pink for sure! Good to see you back dude, hope youre well :)
My condolence to you and your family for your loss and thank you for all your videos. I'm thinking of buying my first RC since I was a teenager 30-odd years ago and I love your enthusiasm and quality of your videos. All the best for 2022 and beyond!
Thank you
Sorry about your dad dude hope you’re doing ok, much love from the Uk
Thanks
First off, even though this is 2 years old, condolences on the loss of your Dad..
You crack me up..."How well it stays on the ground when it lands"..I mean, I get what you're saying, "It handles landings well", but yeah, of course it's gonna stay on the ground when it lands. I'd be worried for ALL our souls the day things DON'T stay on the ground when they land! lol ;)
weird how the body was tweaked, then that screw fell out...wonder if that was related?
Looks like fun, and I'm liking your video. I'm doin' the research to maybe get one of these. Already have a bunch of Arrma stuff, and a Spektrum DX5 pro to bind them too, plus all the batteries already. OR ...one of those 3s Traxxas 1/10th jobbies, but that's a lot more loot, plus I'd need batteries and a charger! ugh...
Funny how I find myself leaning backwards in my chair as I watch you do flips.
That's a drag about the wheel..odd 14 mm hex's too.
The bluetooth thing that goes in the radio, and uses an app on your smarty pants phone is pretty sweet, will also tel you temps. Have that on my Infraction 3S
Hey I hope you are doing okay friend!
I'm better, thanks.
Great vid. Thanks man! I picked one up for my wife! Bought a metal spur gear and a reduced pinion right off the bat. She isn’t a basher; so she will be happy. Both the girls in my life join me! It’s a a lot of fun. NOTE: if anyone upgrades to a metal spur-you’ll need another pack of slipper disks- you need four disks in total for the metal spur. The plastic only has three. Have fun all.
The driveshaft won’t be a problem. Tougher than it looks.
A lot of guys have been having problems with the gears making noise out of the box thinking gear mesh is too tight. Another youtuber found that he was having problems with the spur gear wobbling on the shaft due to a small “cap” loose. He took the slipper clutch assembly from his big rock, put it in the vorteks and the problems went away.
That Arrma has almost always problems with transmission :/
Great video bro. Sorry for your loss! Rc is a great way to take your mind off these things’.
When our dog died, me and my dad went playing with our rc to get it off our mind
Sorry to hear about your dad. My condolences to you and your family.
I had to bind mine first too but also the rear diff on mine needed repairs before I could even properly drive it. All my 3 Arrma cars had some kind of quality issues out of the box that needed addressing, but I still love them.
Sorry about your Dad, that's a big loss in life. I had a Pink and Purple striped Ford Ranger for years and loved it. When I traded it in they took the splashes off but didn't buff the truck. I always saw it around sound with the deep black where the stripes had been. She was a pretty truck, I always loved it.
Sorry for your loss. Takes a strong man to get back out there and keep providing for your fans so soon. Keep your head up and front wheels down. Lol. Much love from Miami,Fl!!!
Thanks!
Your videos sold me on rejoining the hobby after 20+ years. You seem to have so much joy when driving it reminded me of the fun I used to have in the old days and I wanted to play too. I kinda wanted to go e-revo 2.0 after watching those videos of yours but it seems to be a little more advanced. I figured this Vorteks is so durable that it would make for a smart first choice since coming back into the game. :) Maybe get the e-revo 2.0 once I've got more driving experience again. :) Thanks for the videos.
Sorry to hear about your Dad. Prayers and best thoughts.....
I don't care what anyone says either , That color is Epic!
Got mine on 30 April and i love it... super fast, super controlled in the air, the control remove was amazing, the avc is better then TSM and finally i find a better 1/10 then Rustler. Maybe the best 1/10 Truggy out of the box. Im glad you got it 😁😁😁
I love my Arrma Vorteks🤩👊I got it yesterday (instead of the big rock because I like the Vorteks even more than the big rock) and it is absolutly epic 💥
Glad you like it!
I agree, that is a good looking color combination.
The Arrma 3S range is amazing, i've had them for about 1.5 years now, the only ''weak spot'' i would say you might wanna look into upgrading later, is the plastic spur gear, especially with hard bashing it wears quite quickly, i havent broken anything else on em yet!
quick tip i have though, the center driveshaft wont ''break'' by driving it, i have seen people getting rocks stuck under it and eating it up, only thing i'd look out for.
Also, hope you are doing okay, sorry for your loss.
edit: right i also went through 1 rear differential haha!
Nice coverage of the Vorteks. It looks almost like an Armma Granite inside. Super easy RC to work on. I must say it's plenty fast. You almost sent it through your garage door. Awesome run up the narrow driveway. 👍👏🏆
Lost a screw on my wing first day out too. Shout out to The Hobby Shop. That place has been holding it down for a while. Other than that I’ve had a blast with this car so far.
My condolences for the loss of your loved one and thank you for all ur videos. Fans from Malaysia!
Sorry to hear about your father...stay strong and keep your head up!
I watched another Vorteks video and he also had a bent rear wheel issue, bending the centre hub plastic. It maybe an issue with the wheel being weak at the centre. Hope that makes sense. Ha. I also just brought one and my mesh sounds dodgy, I will check before I drive it. Thanks for sharing. John
Got my purple one last week. N sorry about your dad. My condolences 🙏🏽
Thanks for the excellent video- I’m also digging the pink/purple scheme!!! And I’m glad your doing well.
Hey, sorry about your dad, my condolences to you
Thank you
Day 1 - I broke the front right spring.
Waited 2 weeks.
4 days later - I broke the front right spring.
15mins later - I broke the front right spring
So different results for different people :)
Great video on an excellent rc! Really nice to have you back bud. Take care
Hope u and your family are doing well,it hits home when I hear someone losing a parent,a pain I know all to well,id like to try some badlands on the vorteks
Looks like a lot of fun, good thing you fixed it yourself, someone new to the hobby might of had problems. 👍😎🇨🇦
I just got my big rock and rocks and stuff will lock your steering up one way,that front design doesn’t work to well but I like it
Had that happen on my vorteks yest. Also wish it was easier to set the mesh this system is a pain. Prefer old style but the car is fun
Also my esc doesn’t beep at all when I turn it on, but seems to be working fine
@@JPRC_CRAZINESS im having trouble setting the punch and the care remembering the setting/ storing it. So ive been setting it each time I use it until i figure it out. Also dialing the brake in is tricky . Its a really fun car to drive def like it
Don't worry, the rocks getting stuck in the steering isn't just an Arrma problem. I've got a few Losi's that happens to as well. Even has happened with my 5ive T. I've never had that issue with any of my Traxxas RCs but it is what it is.
Local hobby shop is the best sponsor. Support local businesses 👍
Welcome to the ARRMA 3S LINE... Granite, Big Rock and the new VORTEKS. You can't go wrong for the pricepoint! 👍🏾❤
My condolences to you for your loss,
sorry for your loss bud, best wishes from down under❤
You really helped me decide on buying my Erevo 2.0 last year. I love my e revo :-). Keep up the great work. Fan from the UK.
Same for me man! His chassis brace limiting strap video is what sold me. Things been a beast after that upgrade!
Thats awesome!
I have the same truck and mine doesn't spin around like that and haven't had a problem with the tires spinning out on the inside that's weird. Make me think something going on with the front diff to make it spin like that. Great video!
Absolutely the color I would get too, it looks really sharp. ARRMA is gonna sell a ton of those.
I've had mine for a couple of weeks and love it. It's fast, it's tough, it looks awesome and handles extremely well. Probably the best 1/10 scale 3S 4wd truck right out of the box. And damn does that purple/fuscia body look awesome. My condolences on the loss of your Dad.
Do the green battery level lights on your transmitter light up? Idk why mine don't. Even with new batteries
@@superstatus2640 they have to be the spektrum batteries
I bought mine and drove it once! gear mess was super loose and 2 rear wing bolts are missing. Great video! I got the pink one as well. I just liked the color the best. I have a Pink stampede as well?! That’s funny!!
My condolences to you and your family.
Sorry for your loss of your father! i'll maybe gonna buy a Arrma Vorteks but i'm not sure yet. this is a good and clear video of you. thanks a lot!
It’s a cool RC. I think it needs different tires though.
Okay. I allready got a Arrma Kraton 6S but i want something smaller to at to the collection 👍🏼. What kind of tires do you think you need?
That's the color I ordered . I love purple and from all 3 it stands out the most. Aswume vid man!!!
I love my Vorteks! Even 1 year after getting it!
Also always go through all your nuts and screws on any ready to run before you beat on them every car has something loose. Losing has always been the worst for loose screws.
Sorry for your loss man.
Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss buddy. Losing people is always hard.
On a brighter note (literally), purple is my favorite color. My wife, kids, friends, and colleagues know this and not one person has poked fun. Own it brother.
I got one of those 2 weeks ago. It's a very durable and fast car.
Thank you so much for making this video! I just bought this car yesterday it was working fine and then I factory reset the esc and nothing! Turns out I just needed to rebind my transmitter just like you. Thank you so much!!
Sorry for your loss.
Gotta say I was surprised to see that first back flip.
I just watched Amain Hobby put this truck through it's paces, and it seems like a very good truck. After seeing their review and run test, I too would recommend this truck.
Even if they did give it to you free, I’d still respect your opinion, I feel like you’d be straight up regardless.
Thanks! I would. I'd feel guilty if I did not.
Another great video.I bought the purple too.it has more top end than my rustler 4x4 vxl and about the same as e_revo2.sorry for your loss
Also have issues with tire wobble on my granite. Wobbles like crazy
Holy moly she rips!!! You mention about the gear mesh being tight, how did you come to that conclusion (so I know what to look out for) I’m used to running nitros so diagnostics are so much simpler
Yeah it does. I was surprised at how fast it was. The sound its making tells me the mesh is not set correctly. I changed it later, and it was too tight.
Welcome to the works of Arrma. Next you will have issues with the ball studs becoming very loose and the servo saver will take a dump as well. I have the big rock. I should have saved up and bought a Maxx. 😬.
Picked up a vorteks myself and the body was twisted like yours too
I send my condolences...Hang in there
Great Video man. I have a similar issues with the wheel hubs on my Big Rock. Both rear tyres had the hubs lose their shape to the point that the hubs basically collapsed. I replaced them with Granite wheels and I've had the right rear do the same again! I don't bash that hard and really like the stock tyres on my Vorteks and you can't get replacement stock wheels for the Vorteks. Make me think twice about jumping it, yet that's where a lot of the fun is. To be honest I haven't seen this issue much before so I was really interested when it happened to you.
I'm not sure when exactly, but I think it happens in the video. Let me get a time stamp.
I think it happens here after it lands and turns to its side for that second impact.
ruclips.net/video/FrsqPiZPSfc/видео.html
I am waiting for my purple Vortexs, nice open box and run video 👍🏼
One thing about Arrmas’s Is that the hole under the servo is a pain in the ass if your driving on gravel because every rock will go u deer and get stick in the servo so sometimes you have to take off the servo to get the rocks out.
Yeah I actually had to do that the other day.
The blinking ESC thing happened to too the first time. I turned the ESC off and on again and it worked after that
Sorry for your loss😢
Just got my vortie 2 weeks ago. Great ten scale!
The purple looks the best especially in the sun 👍🏻
yes!
I’ll bet something you’re used to with traxxas escs is the bilateral brakes. They’ll brake reverse to forward and forward to reverse. Arrma esc only brake forward to reverse and just aren’t as fast at it. And reverse to forward it’ll just go straight into forward and cogs like crazy. That’s probably what made that trick harder.
@Vape N Clash I just solder XT90 anti spark on everything. If I need warranty I solder the trx back on
Thanks for the review.
Interesting about the wheel hole stretching. Very odd there.
Question - what battery were you running?
I have had some issues running a 50C battery in mine.
I show exactly the batter I used in it. You must have skipped through the video! Told on yourself! I use a spektrum 5000 mah 100c 3s lipo
Mine comes tomorrow same color, I've probably seen this video like 3 times already lol
can't wait to pick this one up. the hub issue on the tire is kinda rare. I've had it happen to one of my Big Rock crew cab v3 Ragnarok tires. haven't really had this happen to any other 14mm hex tires. just that one.
Both my rear Big Rock tyres did the same. Replaced with Granite wheels and the right rear has gone again. Makes me hesitant to send it which is a bit sad. I don't want the same to happen to my new Vorteks.
@Vape N Clash you're gonna love her! i have since hopped my Vorteks up to a "WIDETEKS" with the Big Rock A-ARMS & Ragnaroks. i absolutely love it!
It is weird only hearing 3 beeps!😂 I only have 6s and 4s Arrma RC cars so it is weird hearing 3 ESC beeps!
The tool is new they normally come with a crappy plastic thing. The roof protectors and wing are a good addition as those points get destroyed on the BigRock. Put some gaffs tape over the bottom of the chassis where the servo access point is that stops a lot of stones. It’s a shame the centre shaft does t have the bearing and fixing on it. Look up toptubz they do a tub that goes inside allows air in but keeps all the rubbish out. You always need to bind and do the end points with the Aarma stuff. With the tyres they have gone for a harder lower profile tyre compared to the BigRock as they are legit pizza cutters and the Vorteks basically a RdRock check yt HardcoreRc for what I mean. Basically a BigRockitj the suspension restricted and used for speed runs. Look at getting the the 17ml Hex fitted and a set of Badlands. Also Get it hooked up to DumboRC or FlySky to improve the throttle response. Really great to see you back at it and having fun again 💪👊💯
the first problem you had with throttle and red blinking light happened to me as well, the truck has the ESC plug in the receiver's AUX slot and the power switch in the throttle slot. This is a mistake from the factory, just switch the two JR plugs in the receiver to the right slots or the problem will presist, it will flash red the next time you try to turn the truck on and it will not move.
took me all night to figure it out but now runs like a charm, also thread lock the wheel shafts or the wheels will fly off, no cap! and check the pinon and spur gear for the right mesh.
My wires were correct. I just rebound it and it worked.
Condolances, take some time off! Love your content, good to see you're all good.
Another awesome video!!! That trick can be called "A.R.S" Air Reverse Spin. It's also a stunt trick surfers and body boarders do. Sorry about your dad my brahddah prayers to you and your family
Thanks
Good to see you back dude
Thanks
Dude the color looks good. Also that RC car picks up speed faster than my old Nissan truck, lol. Good video by the way.
Sorry about your dad. Hope ok. Always enjot your videos.
Hey buddy this was my first real rc purchase always had the cheap wal mart ones as a kid lol. I’m having a good bit of fun with it but I noticed in your video you mentioned the gear mesh? Being to tight saying you could hear it. Mine rc sounds exactly like that. So what should I be looking for?
I'm not exactly sure how to explain it. Take a piece of printer paper, put it between the pinion and spur gear to get the correct mesh. Just loosen what ever holds the pinion in place, put the paper between the two gears, hold them closed, and tighten the pinion. On most RCs you loosen the motor itself to make the adjustment.
@@outsourcedrc oh ok similar to a filler gauge adjusting valves. I can work with that.
Wow you're in the Atlanta area as well. Do you know of a place I can go and have fun with my RC?
Most parks will have an area you can run in. I go to a lot of local parks. The Dave and Busters in McDonough has a place out back that a lot of people go run in.
Broken wheel missing screw tires running into the body and radio problems, pretty good run for a horizon product, at least that's been my experience.
That was my thoughts too. I’m not a Horizon fan at all but this has my interest. I wish they made a roller version or a kit version.
Keep an eye on those temps. My big rock pushes the temps quite a bit 170 is where you want to stop
That is an awesome rc. Might need 2, the misses will definitely want one too.
Sorry to hear about you father brother.
Quick question regarding cleaning this RC. Can I spray it down like you did in that traces video? New to the hobby. I love this truck!
Nice video, and I know Glen at the hobby shop. Those guys are cool and its a nice store
Yep. They are good people
I have a 4s arrma and has the plastic center shaft and its 2 yr old. The only way for it to break is if a rock cuts it in half
Hey man I didn’t know you was in Ga when I subbed to you. The Hobby Shop Stockbridge is where I get all my rigs. Glen and the boys got you covered!!!
Yep! I'm in there just about every Saturday
I purchased two of these for my sons, and I have 50c batteries. What’s the difference between the 50c and 100c battery?
With spectrum avc you have to wait till the rc to link to radio , gears sound that way due to being composite aka plastic . I installed a medium spacer for the front Shocks , awesome video
But why clicking when money other 3s guys do that
This
51 out of the box is pretty impressive for a little 3s truck.
I put spacers up front also . It def helped it wanted to land on the nose off jumps. Def helped.
Death sucks. I’m sorry about your father, this was a year ago but I’m sure it stings still. Anyway I actually bought the green version of the Vorteks and I love it so far. Only 4 full batteries though it and not off road yet, this thing hauls. I’m never buying a 6s or 8s as they are overpriced and break too easy and the repairs cost even more lol. This is the best RC I’ve owned and will probably own for the foreseeable future. Great job Aarma, and a thank you to Aarma for the $50 off coupon in March that I used to purchase it, that $50 swayed me to go for the Vorteks over the Senton 3s or Typhon 3s.
How did you manage to get rid of the flashing red light I have one out of the box doing it on both of my batteries and can't for the life of me figure it out....
I had to bind mine too. I think they rushed this thing out the door. Sorry about your Dad. My Dad passed away in December so I know how you feel.
