It's really hard to find fault with the Vorteks, Fury, and Gorgon. They're a modern day Frog and Blackfoot, but reliable and more affordable. I would absolutely consider a Fury for some short-course bashing.
I ended up ordering the fury in blue, it was either that or one more NASCAR as I already have one and was tempted, but I’m running out of space and I figured I’m better off trying a completely new platform then getting another car I already have but just a different design. NASCAR is not so fast so let’s see if the fury is faster. My Fury came yesterday so I’m hoping to get it outside today. I’ll try to get a Video Up!, it’s just I end up having so much fun. I forget about making a quick video lol at least I’ll get a Short up.
I think the fury is cool, but I don't understand why arrma dropped the vorteks boost for this. The 3s vorteks is awesome, and the 2wd one looks really kind of lame. I'd be curious on your thoughts after dropping a brushless system in the fury
The arrma vortex boost didnt have 2wd suspension and setup in mind, but moreover 4wd, since expecting to upgrade. And the gorgon was a proven platform for their 2wd, just hope the replacement parts not expensive like the gorgon's
I just hope this isn't a sign of things to come. Cheapness trickling up through the Arrma line up. Parts availability in the future? Like you said we already have 2wd senton and vorteks in brushed and brushless. Discontinued models to come? This isn't a good sign.
hopefully this is just for beginners. for example i buy it and my little cousin wants to run an RC; without giving him my big rock or stampede i could hand them this and them still have fun without feeling like im giving them walmart cheapness. beg mom and dad for one and they get a boost model inviting upgrades in the future now that they have driven and gotten use to the 2wd brushed.
Over here in Germany these new cars go for 229€ whereas the Senton 4x2 mega sells for 159€. I don’t get it why they are so expensive here. Has arrma discontinued the senton and vorteks 4x2 cars in the US?
Great idea from arrma..my kids both have gorgon's and this reliable platform at this price point is great. I use 2s lipos on their gorgons and that is plenty of rc for us all to have fun with. Cant wait to get each of these!!
they’re actually some of the most durable RCs available rn and they’re way less expensive than the traxxas 2wd models. for people who like 2wd these are very good
@@whatsintheboxx bro there’s videos on youtube of people running 3s on them doing flips and shit and nothing breaks. the only thing on these that isn’t gonna last is the motor and servo but most people are gonna upgrade those anyway
... Neither is "better" than the other... They're all the same. Minor differences like different suspension setups and slightly different lengths does NOT make a different chassis. They're all based on the same Gorgon chassis. RC manufacturers dont make anything different or new anymore... It's all the same old crap with a different body... They had a little success with the Gorgon so now they're letting it take over their entire production line basically. Same with Traxxas and the trx4 and axial with the scx chassis. I wish manufacturers would do something different and new. Something to make their extortionate prices actually reasonable for once...
These can handle 4S-6S power. I don't think that's backwards, bud. And they handle great for 2wd. Just because it looks toy grade doesn't mean it's junk lol
@davidfanara3229 I'm not entry level but I'm loving what I'm seeing. I just like the more affordable and easier to maintain vehicles. And that's exactly what this is. Almost never have issues with the Gorgon, this just handles better!
i really love how the body for the short corse truck looks.
The body is BAD ASS

These have kind of a Tamiya-ish flavor about them. The DT-03 would almost look at home next to them
That chassis has a lot of potential for racing. Add sway links and might be able to keep up with team associated and hopped up slashes
It would be nice to see a Gorgon comparison with these two
I was going 2 order the Fury last night! But ended buying some more upgrades for my losi hammer rey! Definitely will be getting the fury!!
Fury preorder gang. Cheap brushless system and gyro radio on standby, let’s gooo!
Would be cool to see these compared to the Rustler and Slash 2WD models, especially since Traxxas just updated those.
9:24 Both have 13T pinions???
i heard that too haha
Its the return of ECX!!!
I have always liked a stadium truck better than a short course truck.
Same. Much better handling
Now we need to see a comparison between these asnf the HPI Jumpshots
Greg it looks like from the exploded view these have a sealed diff, what wt fluid would you recommend starting with for the fury on brushless? Thanks

What Is best fury ou sentom boost similar plataform sentom 3s?
4wd senton. 2wd fury. Its that easy.
Got the Green Fury yesterday!
The vorteks is cleary better, but we have a boost vorteks. Sure hope arrma hasn't made plans to discontinue my models I've bought. I will need parts!😂
The Gorgon with a lcg chassis would be sweet
I really wanna know if the fury body will fit on the gorgon chassis. Plz anybody that has both tell me because I need. A new body for my gorgon.
They need to just phase out the brushed motor rtrs. They just don't have adequate speed or power.
For sub-$200 beginner vehicles, they're just about perfect.
they already offer the "boost" series, which can be upgraded to 4x4. seems like no place for these

I believe you said you lived in Massachusetts. I also live in Massachusetts. I was wondering if you know about any good tracks
No I’m in CT. But there’s RC Excitement in MA and RC Madness in CT right on the MA border.
How does the Pinion guide work?
It’s a plate that position the motor in a place that corresponds with the size of the pinion so the gearmesh is set properly and won’t shift either.
@@rcdriver so is there more than one plate or the one plate has multiple positions?
Great trucks for the price! Cheaper than the slash and rustler. A lower $200 brushless version would be a great idea too.
Of course they are cheaper. It’s typical horizon crap 😂
Over here in Germany these new cars go for 229€ whereas the Senton 4x2 mega sells for 159€. I don’t get it why they are so expensive here. Has arrma discontinued the senton and vorteks 4x2 cars in the US?
Ja. Senton und vorteks 2wd ist weg vom Markt. Die neuen fahren 2wd besser. Wir fahren 4wd, siehe meine videos.
The Fury looks awesome
🔵🔵🔵🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍🔵🔵🔵
I like that blue but can we get a variety of colors on vehicles soon?
The sct is better when you go brushless more faster
Great idea from arrma..my kids both have gorgon's and this reliable platform at this price point is great. I use 2s lipos on their gorgons and that is plenty of rc for us all to have fun with. Cant wait to get each of these!!
Stock gorgon on 2s is a smile maker no matter the age of the driver I hand the radio to
Nice! Yeah, the Gorgon is a blast and these are just as tough.
Diggin that body on that SCT, another great review Sir!
Think it’s a bit to expensive for a 2wd beginner friendly rc that’s not very adjustable and limited by design
they’re actually some of the most durable RCs available rn and they’re way less expensive than the traxxas 2wd models. for people who like 2wd these are very good
@@nicko2222durable ? Good joke 😂😂
@@whatsintheboxx bro there’s videos on youtube of people running 3s on them doing flips and shit and nothing breaks. the only thing on these that isn’t gonna last is the motor and servo but most people are gonna upgrade those anyway
The fury with a brushless combo is awesome for a 2wd platform
arrma is stepping their game up with chassis.
Man Aarma really doing it for the people!
Think Im gonna get one of these for my 3 year old! Gonna be perfect.
Finally....... Thanks so much

I bought the fury
3rd like
Pre-ordering... js.
None of them, both as 4wd are better
Those are real slow. Brushed and only 2wd ain’t a great combo for offroad cars unless you are a beginner
Welp, they ARE aimed at beginners. It is a great combo for them.
Looks like arrma are doing backward on their design.🤦🏻
These can handle 4S-6S power. I don't think that's backwards, bud. And they handle great for 2wd. Just because it looks toy grade doesn't mean it's junk lol
@@K5_RCI agree. Especially for people who want to get into the hobby, this looks really fun to play with.
Nice entry level if you don't have a lot of cash, see if the parts and supply hold up. Hope so.
