That was a absolutely horrible video and review, maybe educate yourself and familiarize yourself with the product before bashing and making it look bad,
You saying it’s not worth the money and doesn’t have any changes from the granite !!! That’s BS maybe you should watch rc drivers video and learn a few things about this car and make a update and or make a new video with the real accurate information regarding all the changes you failed on telling and showing people! Open your eyes mate ! You failed this one and if I was arma I would be embarrassed sending you that ! And if I was them that would be the last one you receive.
I’m not sure you watched the whole video. I didn’t say it’s the same as the Granite, and I certainly didn’t bash it other than say I think it may be priced to high. I like to show my initial impressions without any influence from others. I will today however watch all the other unboxings and see if anyone else had anything negative to say about it. It was sent to me for Free... but on my channel, that doesn’t mean you’ll get a 5 Star review... you’ll get my honest thoughts. I’ll be back when I’ve watched what all the others have said about it 😉
Just watched all the other reviews/unboxing’s. One thing that I noticed was that only 1 other channel declared it was a ‘paid promotion’, which straight away makes me wonder why the others didn’t. And none of them spoke about the pricing? I also noticed that the ‘Granite’ was used quite often as a reference, the same as how I used it. Hmmm.... I’ll stick to my style of reviews, where I’m not under any pressure to be ‘nice’ as not to upset a brand. I’m a big fan of Arrma, and always have been, if they want me to review their stuff then that’s all good, and if they don’t, then it’s no problem.... I’ll keep doing what I’m doing 😉👌
@@TomleyRC caution against hurting a fanboys feelings. Lol. Sheesh
Triggerrrrrrred
@@ValleyRC
LoL, dude that's why I can't be an rc youtuber... at the moment just don't have the stomach to deal with views that must have their eyes and ears semi closed ffs🤦♂️
Personally, Kev and yourself are my favorite RC personalities. I watch a lot of RC videos, but the two of you always have (in my opinion) the most informative and useful information. I really appreciate the content!
Appreciate it mate. 😎👌
Agreed. Enjoy a bit of the rc kiwis as well.
Agree re Tomley however it's a stretch to say Kev is informative. Entertaining, yes, however smashing things like a 4 year old child throwing a tantrum is hardly informative.
@Paul Donnelly Jr Thanks!
@@SentinelGames Seeing things pushed to the breaking point is informative! 😄 and he has a lot of "fix-it" info gathered from all of the carnage!
Great intro video! Thanks for the genuine opinions and transparency about the truck and your channel. You're one of my favorite RC reviewers for these reasons : ) Cheers!
Thanks David. I think some people want me to give everything a 5 Star review.... but I say it how I see it. I've just watched a couple of other videos on this and not a single negative thought on it.... not 1!
What awesome surprise! CAN'T wait to see the Bash. 🤜🤛👍
Today 👍
Brilliant pal truck looks cool can't wait to see you bash it and yes you are my go to channel for new cars 👍👍😁😁
That’s a pretty cool surprise, looking forward to seeing you put through the paces.
Yes, looking forward to it
I like to watch several videos of the same vehicle so I can see what the general consensus is. It's not enough to see just one person's opinion. Always appreciate your input/prospective on RCs 🙂
Yeah, that’s a good way of looking at it 👍
Great video for unplanned👍👍 Looking forward to the first run!
Cheers mate
It definitely looks fantastic, Tomley! 😃
Looking forward to the bashing video!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Yes, looks nice
Cant wait for the bash session. I wanna see you backflip it
Me too!
Can't wait for the bashing video. I received my one yesterday (pink and purple) I've not had the chance to take it out yet. I was also surprised by how heavy it is, clearly not just a re bodied granite.
looking forward to seeing the run video, looks good bud 👍
Today 👍
Looks good nice suprise
I just saw this yesterday on the site. Surprised me because I hadn't seen it heard anything about it. I do like your videos, this is the first I've watched on the Vorteks.
Thanks mate
All reviews of everyone.fantastic.
Very nice indeed Phil i wish i could get a nice surprise like that 😂.
It does look good I'm looking forward to seeing it running
Yes... a bit late for my birthday though haha
@@TomleyRC better late than never,😁
Spettacolare... ciao Tomley.. dall'Italia
Awesome
The car looks powerfull 😍😍
They're all the bastard same, old traditional monster truck style needs to make a comeback
I’d love to see a decent MT make a come back. (Not like the LMT)
@@TomleyRC even if wltoys came out with a 1/10 monster truck or something I'm sure they would sell like hotcakes
Ayyyooo a tomley upload.
Time sit back grab beer and enjoy one of the best RC channel’s out. :)
Or soda bc there younger viewers
@@JustTomYTreckless ok lol
@@SshiggyY speaking of beer some employee put beer on the kid drink section i saw it in a compilation
@@JustTomYTreckless lol
wow the car looks noice
I like this video, as have so many of yours! Criticism is important in order to be able to grow from it, but don't let it deter you and keep going the same way! You have your own style and I think it's awesome! 👍
Just got one love it
Looks good
I have been hoping arrma would make this truck! I like te vortex slot but hated the 2wd now it's finally here.. in the name of all that is holy drive it!! Pehehelease!! Really curious about what your opinion is going to be!! Anyways can't wait to see it run, seriously I can't wait! Make video of it right now. Sorry I'm just way to hyper about this truck!
Thanks for the upload!
I think it looks pretty cool
Great video. Looks like a pretty good rig. If it’s close to as good as the BRCC V3 it’ll be worth the cost IMO.
Yeah, the BRCC is an awesome truck
I think everyone expected a new version of the 4S line vehicles before something from the 3S line
Yeah.. interested to see what else is coming
i had the same thought, not necessarily expectation. My logic was/is the restock dates on amain and hobitstown websites, for the outcast 4S for example.
Great bud
U all that r interested in the hobby of rc like me can all appreciate the amazing technology and it's sick what the models can do. peace out.
I trust your opinion brother awesome videos!
Thanks Mike
Yeah... they catch you on that one 😁 it seems you got out of the bed with the mail man nocking on you door 😆
Thank you once again for you honesty and I'll be waiting for the rest 👌🙂
Haha... yeah, big surprise! A good one!
United / Absolutely never divided
It is a beast and congratulations on getting a test sample sent to you. I'll just keep my money in my pocket as £389 for this is too much in my opinion. The old Talion 6s which I plan to have as my next addition was £424 ish and with that kind of price difference I'll wait for the Talion to be back in stock.
Yeah... price will put a few people off. But it will sell!
They even sent you the box art to match your hoody! Nice one Horizon. How did they know? lol
Haha 😎
Nice 👍
It looks sick!!! May have to end up picking one up! Man I gotta ask where can I get one of those bass hoodies! Love the classic honda!
Should be a link below the video to my merch
pre ordered the pink, purple , and white one. hopefully to get the GF into the hobby.
Bought my daughter the pink Maverick Quantum MT. She loves it and the brushed motor is plenty quick enough for her
What is said: "I bought it for you sweetie"
What is thought: "just got a new rc without pissing off my SO"
Dam dude not bad for landing on your door step. Been seeing alot of it and I do like the look of it. E-Revo comes to mind with looks, shame it's the same blx motor with poor bearings.
Yeah, not a fan of that Spectrum motor. Will give it a good run this week
Just ordered the purple one. Not a fan of the color purple but this one is 🔥
Yes... the best Colour for sure!
It’s a arrma version of the rustler 4x4 which is definitely a stadium truck. Both are more bashers but that’s the style of it.
Hey there! Birthday is coming up and trying to decide on either a Bigrock, Granite. or Vorteks. What would you recommend. interested in light bashing with my son, nothing too crazy.
I appreciate any advice. LOVE the videos, keep it up!!
I choose your video bro always will haha
😎🤟
This car is very nice (Your video too), but i couldn‘t afford it😂
Ooh a nice surprise then Phil! I do really like the look of this but as you say the price is £60 more than the rest of the 3s range and that's just a little too much I reckon. I'd have been happier with the electronics being the same as the other cars and it being £360. Anyway, nice first look mate :-)
Agree, I mean it has got a better Transmitter, but not £60’s worth really. Still abs awesome truck
Cool video, I like those less scripted ones, I can totally relate to the having no time to make videos. Regarding the car, probably not something for me, ha ha...
Thanks mate. I'm not one for 'scripts'
Tomley RC your opinion or somebody else's opinion, I don't care. I love the fact that I can have the most opinions before I buy a product.
I want one.
I hope you do good in the rc industry... first guy Ive subscribed to excluding @rc sparks quite a few years ago, I hope you can show me the “true” bashing ;)
Thanks mate. I missed this comment yesterday.... 😎👌
Definitely Arrma are the best models i see now Day s ones without alloy chassis
Alloy chassis model s are 2 heavy
2:00 that's what she said
the pink and purple one /shell reminds me of a car thats been on bg some time now thats under 50 first time ive seen a cheap brand get nocked off from a shell view haha
Yes, I have one similar but in Red/White
@@TomleyRC but not on vorkeks scale lol ...yeah one i seen called a hs 18323 but been out since last year i would say
the injection molded wing alone is worth the extra cost. it looks like a 4/6S wing so i'm gonna go with longer lasting.
It’s tough... I’ll give it that! Been out today with it
Nice honest unboxing... its at a very awkward price point, other brands are at 4s/6s with metal shocks and oil center diff. Arrma have definitely become a little greedy here
Yeah, price is certainly going to be the talking point
Where can I get one of those "Wheeler" hoodies? Great channel, sir.
I have them in my 'merch. store. There should be a link below the video
TooT! awesome surprise though
Yes!
At first I didn't like the price either but it does have a handful of upgrades and features..Should have added 17mm hex though
Yeah, 17mm Hex would have been nice
i believe this can be very fun and fast 3s basher, i like the wheels , are they 1/2 offset ? i like the wideness, must be stable car because of this. The Katar tyres are good in my Talion. Today i use Proline Badlands, Anyways the Katars are great. I like wide trucks, i have always half offset and 13mm wideners self today. I dont like tumble wombles :)
60MPH with only 3s ? sounds very fast, do a gps test Tomley soon Please :)
I like to know if this is better than Big Rock, because my friend will buy Big Rock, or maybe this if this is better than the Big Rock ?
Yes looks good. Not sure on the offset, but that’s certainly why it sits wider. I’ve taken it out for a bash today, and it’s very good! Video soon!
Great Video, I like this channel keep it real and not hyped just because it's a free / sponsored product that's a problem that's plaguing all of the RC community.. Personally Arrma has a long way to go before I purchase another. I got my first Arrma product just few short weeks ago Kraton 6s V5 out of the box it's a complete mess & i'm extremely disapointed to be honest It's literally made it through 1 battery and ONLY because that was on a flat surface... on V5 and they still can't get it right...? I've been doing RC most my life since 80s mostly racing. RTR kits I have little expectations from when I get them. This Kraton is just flat out awful.. Front axles pop out of the outshafts on landings ( * jumps are no bigger than anything at a track, NOT under throttle on landing and landing perfectly smooth.) The angle is so extreme on the axle / dog bones on suspension compression that they are right on the very edge of the out shafts that's just compressing by hand ( go have a look.) I've removed the upper clip spacer on the ball end and anodized washer on the lower end ( V5, I think V4 just has a regular washer) to move the outter hub in bringing the axle in just a hair move into the outshaft MAYBE it wont pop out and self desttruct itself for a minute... ALL the wheels are a wobbly mess, the steering is complete trash and the rack has bushing in it... WHO even puts bushing in cars these days let alone a not so cheap RTR kit that may cost them a whole 1$ MAX on a large scale production.. It's just got WAY too many underlying issues that are well documented in the community that Arrma has yet to addres... The EXB should be ARRMAS BASE CHASSIS! I feel like there is so misinformation out there about these cars or people just flat out have no clue how sloppy some of these arrma cars are.. I do hope Arrma steps up and starts addresing some of these big issues because I would love to own a lot of their cars!! I'm not brand fanboy and Love all RC.. Traxxas , arrma , I race associated and Losi , even Bolink / RJ speed legends & Kyosho Mini z's! .. I love it all!!
Thanks mate appreciate the comment. I'm not a big fan of the 6s range. For me it's too big and heavy, I had an Outcast a few years back, and it was pretty good. But I've not had a 6s since Horizon took over. The Tyhpon or Senton are the only 6s I'd consider
Can you investigate what makes it go faster then the rest of the 3s range?
Electronics seem the same?
I expect it’s the gearing... I’ll do some digging
I’ll give them the credit for making the gears for them, but for the extra price it should have gotten the metal gears and the old slt3 radio.
when Bitcoin hits 200k this year i will have to get one of these...very nice truck seems like they really nailed it...
Great looking car but can I get your opinion, and the community. I'm going to get 2 budget 1/10 bashers and will be the last purchase for the foreseeable as I'm going to be out of work soon due to disability so it's like a last hurrah lol. So, I'm down to the Maverick Phantom and Quantum brushed, Ftx Carnage 2.0 and Ftx Outlaw. Can't make up my mind so can I get opinions on those 4 or any other recommendations. It will be max £150 each car. Thankyou Guys
Should I get big rock or vorteks if I want to bash on the street and in the forest?
goog👍👍💯💯😀😀
Tomley I sent it a Big rock with other body shell?
😅
The plastic chassis probably a good thing, I've seen what their T6 does.. but nope to plastic ring and pinion in the diffs.
Yeah, the 3s range on these are solid
It looks like the Traxxas Hoss
Ngl
Hmm... it's a bit better looking than the Hoss :)
I keep popping driveshafts on my brushed granite that I threw a 3s brushless system into, how does everyone else have no problems with the plastic driveshafts?
🤙🤙
I’m hoping this could be a tougher big rock???
Does feel pretty solid
It's a Granite in EVERY single way that matters..
Different ESC, shorter shocks, different body/wheels etc, but it's the same chassis, same motor, same arms, driveshafts, diffs, i could go on... it's a bloody Granite..
DOPE!!!!!
My arrmas have always done 5mph over their said speed for some reason but I ain't complaining 🤣🤣
Yeah, they are pretty good with their speeds
@@TomleyRC I think it's were I drive as well it's a bit down hill but it is also grass
Don't even see this online in The States.
I'm still getting a team associated instead :)
Awesome truck, you won’t be disappointed 👍
what battery is included? thanks
None included
Everyone is getting this truck i wonder how is it run
Me too... looking forward to running it
@@TomleyRC i SUBBED
What is the difference between this and the Granite blx 3s?
Shorter shocks, smaller shock towers, different electronics... different wheels & body
IC3 connector?
Stock pinion is 18t,
Cheers :)
Quite the price for the big name even though it's still mostly plastic. Yes, it's too expensive.
Still cheaper than Traxxas though lol
So is the new esc the same as the blx 100 with smart technology?
I’m pretty sure it’s more or less the same. It’s 100A like the BLX one
@@TomleyRC thanks thats helpful
Ah it’s basically like a granite hybrid. I want to see how much those harder tyres balloon or not..
Yes Phil I think it’s worth the extra £60 I would have paid that over my granite 3s blx to have got rid of that rubbish old stock stx2 radio and having the new spektrum esc..
My friends big rock didn't come with a stx2 any more! Don't know the name but looked very similar to the one in the video but no AVC. I think they changed it since the V3 of the 3s cars
Car looks great but price is ridiculous! 409.00 at Wheelspin! Best I can find is 386.99 from Make It Build It. Horizon really stinging us here in the UK at the moment.
I think they made the wheel wrench to kill someone
Haha
After you just mentioned on it yesterday lol on the MT10
Edit: removed profanity.
hahahaha... I know... 'Awkward!'.....although I was only complaining about the price 😅
@@TomleyRC The Helion Avenge was the best 1/10 4x4 truck for the money ever at $199 US..Same thing as the AE but with different system and transmitter..Gil Losi Jr designed it.
the rc hobby has skyrocketed during covid and companies are taking advantage of this by raising prices because people are home and they are bored so they are spending money.
Yeah, and costs have also gone up
@@TomleyRC the cost of everything has gone up and companies are making more money producing less product.They are taking advantage of covid and the transportation and labor costs.The are producing less volume but making even more profits.The low supply but high demand drives up price and profit so why would they produce more when they can do less and make a lot more money.
can we call it the maxx killer?.. :D
Haha... call it what you want
Big Rock V3 or Vorteks 3s?
I’ll let you know next week 😅
@@TomleyRC okay thank you! I don’t know which one I should buy 🤯😂
It looks just like a Traxxas rustler 4x4
Similar...but I'm not sure it's anything like it other than the colour
3 wheeler in the top left corner... AMOGUS
Is it ic3 or ic5?
3
Ic5..... my bad
Miniature kraton?
maybe a little bit
💥💥...💥💥💥🔫 😁
It looks very nice but seems you are getting less for the extra money other than the better ABC radio, i had the senton and sold it after one run, so i guess i wont be getting this new Arrma
This DX3 is pretty good... and you are getting AVC, the newer ESC... but yeah, maybe a little to much extra
There are stadium trucks that are 4x4 with 900bhp and 3speed auto box as well as the 2 wheel drive ones. Personally not my fav truck out of my price range.
how much is it?
In the UK...about £400
I love the car.. But here in the Netherlands its almost 100 more than the others, ruins it for me unfortunatly.
That’s a lot!
@@TomleyRC yup, really sucks because i was planning to get it haha
I have to agree a 60$to much price.
