@@devinw9698 big rock. I have have the v1 kraton 4s its fun and really durable but its a v1 had to buy alluminum diff holder for the rear buy a bumper for the front and make it fit. The v2 kraton 4s is coming soon. The big rock 3s is one of the best right in the market
No, this is definitely a 1/10 and LARGER than most 1/10 scale trucks. This truck sits at 327mm axle to axle (most fair way to compare) and the traxxas stampede 4x4 sits a 275mm. The average is somewhere in between so around 300mm.
A 2021 Ford F-150 crew cab is 5.9m long tho... This looks like a chevy/ford mix. Trucks got really big lately, it's 1/10 compared to trucks from 10 years ago
@@UnicornReviews thats not really how its done. Arrma reuses the parts to make other truck no manufacturer would make a complete new truck that shares no part between them.
Ahh, that makes sense. I have a big rock with a few upgrades myself. I put the high speed gear in it pretty early on but I heard that and was about ready to pull it apart and make sure 😂
A GMC Canyon crew cab short box is almost exactly 10 times the size of the big rock for length. So I think they can still say 10th scale and be technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.
BTW you’ll probably break the plastic ring and pinion gears soon. It’s about $44 for the upgrade CNC ring, pinion and diff per end. 310772 310885 310886
At first its hard but once you know how to work on it its so easy i can remove the whole front in 5 mins. The worst imo is to get to the steering system
The worst is replacing driveshafts. The screw is captive inside the knuckle, so you need a really thin and long driver to do it up. Trx just has a small screw on the side which is much easier to deal with
Got the Same Problem at 100% its nearly not controllable. The self correction Like Traxxas would Work because its to Long drin Body and Tires have mit dem bought Mass.
Come penso spesso il 3S è sovradimensionato e difficile da controllare poi ci sono rotture e guasti continui..grazie mille per questo video.questo problema riguarda quasi tutti i monster truck

My friend got one and they literally don’t break
Bro they're stronger than the xmaxx

Nice video. Just got into the hobby. Big Rock was my first purchase, now have a Senton sitting here and debating on my next one.
Opposite: wanting to get big rock got senton already

The big rock is WAY more stable than the super high CG trucks traxxas is making. Don’t get me wrong I like traxxas but the big rock handles better.
Traxxas is shit. Scum company with shady business practices.
In regards to your two main concerns, snow infiltration and it being difficult to work on, what other vehicles are you comparing it to?
The front is ok, the rear isn't with that wheelie bar in place.
This guy is a harsh critic my man!
@@UnicornReviews to be fair, almost every wheelie bar on real cars makes them harder to work on
I just got the v3 big rock, thanks for posting this. Just subbed and Merry Christmas 👍🏻🍻

The kraton 4s is considered a 1/10 but its almost as big as a kraton 6s
@@EXTREMERC416 it’s the same chassis. Just bigger tires. They are definitely pushing the limit of 1/10 with the 4s line.
Good video!
However its 1/10 of scale of the truck its based on. The Granite is even shorter than big rock and called a 1/10 scale too
A 2021 Ford F-150 crew cab is 5.9m long tho... This looks like a chevy/ford mix. Trucks got really big lately, it's 1/10 compared to trucks from 10 years ago
I don’t think he gets it yet. He’ll learn
@@UnicornReviews thats not really how its done. Arrma reuses the parts to make other truck no manufacturer would make a complete new truck that shares no part between them.
How did you hit 77 mph out of the box? I thought they did 55 or something with the high speed gear installed.
Either way the vid and info is tops. Keep it up!
Kph, not mph

As a European, I only know the F-150 lol
Haha totally agree with you bro! Technically correct 😁👍
if you wanna make it 2wd you can you just pull the drive shaft out?
Yep.
I can't decide whether to get the Big Rock or Typhoon as my first car for years! Any ideas 💡 🤔
A Kraton
Bigrock
Considering they don’t make a typhoon, I would say big rock
@@youtubeuser5424 no, arrma do a typhoon series of rc car for sure I've seen them I'm afraid
@@mrtambourineman6107 no, they make a Typhon, but not a typhoon.
The reason it's larger than 1/10 scale because it's a 1/10 scale monster truck
I wonder what tiny screws are you referring to? Skid plate is held by just 2 screws, and then it can be folded out of the way to get to the hinge pins
I would have known that if there was a decent service manual available. turns out I always took all the screws out (which isn't needed)
Do you not look at the truck before u review it? You don't need a manual to tinker with an rc. Wow worst reviewer ever imo
What lipo battery are you using I have the 5400 mag but they make a higher one like 65 to 75 mah
"you have to walk over to your truck to put it tires down ..." ... it's called fitness ;)
Just messing with you :)
Nice review!
Great review, thanks for sharing 👍🏽
BTW you’ll probably break the plastic ring and pinion gears soon. It’s about $44 for the upgrade CNC ring, pinion and diff per end. 310772

44$?? Its 8$ each.
@@EXTREMERC416 meant to say for the CNC
It’s a transmitter. Receiver is in the truck.
lmao I thought I was the only one who noticed
The real question is, why did I not notice??? Jeez I need to proof watch my vids better.... Thx for letting me know both of you!
This is a great review and we all understand it's a transmitter. Let us enjoy the review.
Could you let me know what tool you are using to clean the car at 7:22 ???
I think it's just like a paint brush inside a drill
Good review. Thanks!
Use an air compressor to clean your RC it makes quick and easy work
Yea it's on a SCT chassis..1/8th buggy wheel base
The hell, i want this 😍
Such an awesome truck.
Hi great video have u got a link for the brush u attached to the drill please ?
No, I went to the local diy store, bought some cheap brushed and snapped the ends off so they fit in my drill chuck.
@@UnicornReviews great, I have just received my arrma big rock today and wanting to no how to set it up and do u have to set the gear mesh up etc ?
Mine was fine, but it doesn't hurt to check the mesh. Its pretty easy to do. Plenty of tutorials on youtube
@@UnicornReviews I am struggling to find a video on how to do the mesh. Have u got one or any links please

The big rock is my 2nd rc car and compared the my MERV VXL it’s waaaaay easier to work on with way less screws.
Just brought a big rock need to learn about it
I have 6 rcs, the big rock was my first and is still my go to rc!
What other ones u got?
@@norcalsawsquatch9854 typhon mega, typhon 3s, big rock 3s, kraton 6s exb, limitless, and just picked up kraton 8s on saturday 😁

I would guess that it is a 1/10 for a standard 1/10 pickup body, Easier to buy bodies that fit properly.
Love mine!
Would never use the gimmicky self righting feature, it’s terrible for your drive train.

Self righting is just full throttle and full brake non stop
That's a transmitter, not a receiver.
I would never run an rc car in snow dude.
Why not? It improves cooling so much!
2:56 ...and spins it inside the wheel 🤔 better to put the holes out side ☝️ lg
Biggie is awesome 💚
I'm going to get that I had a granite 4x4
Nobody noticed the MIATA?
Get an air compressor for the dirt and dust!

Call arrma. They’ll get a set of replacements out do you and the pins are much better.
I dont get your point the warranty is just for the electronics or any other manufacturer defect smashing into something is not Covered.
@@EXTREMERC416 no it’s not. I called them up and told them after the first couple times I used em 3 of the 4 broke. And with the crap tastic diffs I’d expect them to be warrantied at least once.
I call walking to it a bonus, you get exercise
The traxxas self righting will break the truck it's the stupidest feature ever
Km/h?
Its a transmiter not a receiver as you keep saying , im not a hater but if you are going to do a review on rc's please get the part names right.
What the fook are you talking about.....
The worst car I've ever had, not surprisingly most of its videos are not in the sands it's just destroyed on the spot. The worst purchase I have had
Been driving mine in sand for months with no issues. You must be doing something wrong.
You don't clean your cars do you
