So what do you think of the Arrma Vorteks 3s BLX? Is it worth the extra money compared to the other 3s models in the range? Will be doing some more speed runs on the speed pinion and we will see just how durable it is at my local skate park!! Be sure to subscribe 😎👍
I have a question did yours make a weird noise or noises like a grinding sound when doing some aerial tricks? Mines been making grinding sounds when backflipping sounds like a pinon gear grinding but not to sure
@@beyondRC thank you! I just wanted to make sure I'm a newbie to the hooby love your channel btw great stuff. I just didn't want to burn out my mesh gear within the first week of bashing. Thank you so much man ❤️
Cheap, easy to work on it, relatively fast and quite durable. A very good option for a newbie and also good for experienced people. Got two of them myself (stock and modified) and I'm pretty pleased with them.
My personal opinion is to go with the Granite V3. I had the Granite V2, which I sold to a friend and bought the Vorteks. I wish I would have saved the extra $60 and bought the Granite V3. I'm pretty sure it is just my driving style, but I love to do big jumps and as many front/back flips as I can get in. I thought the Vorteks would flip as well as the Granite, but it does not. If you're looking for something that handles better, then the Vorteks is great, especially if you want to drive it on a track or do speed runs. I personally prefer the higher clearance and better aerobatics of the Granite. The Vorteks is still a great truck, it just depends on what you want it to do.
Just had a change of mind! Am looking at the team associated mt10 or possibly the mt8! My last rc car was purchased from Tandy over 30 years ago for those who remember that shop.
Im a noob to the rc game, so i ordered a ARRMA granite 3s v3 blx. Because I like talking my rc cars through rough roads and high grasslands. But if i wanted the vortex I would pay the extra 50-70 dollars for it. But im glad that ARRMA came out with the 3s lineup, i picked the granite over the team associated rival mt10. I just want something that is not going to break on me to fast, and those mt10 arms r like glass. I like ur content keep up with the good reviews.
Its a difficult one as this costs £400 is very close to the 6s range so does make it hard to decide. Stay top end 1/10 or go 1/8? Have to factor is battery cost as well unless you are already sorted with batteries :) 😎👍
Love this truck ❤️ 👍 really nice colour scheme for sure and looks like plenty of power and seems to handle well? I’ve just ordered the typhon 3s today so maybe in a couple of months it is on the hit list 🤔 great upload thanks 🙏👍
The colour is amazing! The purple and pink is the best colour in my opinion 😎👍. Handles very well and the typhon will be great! All the 3s range are excellent!
I can’t wait to get one of these in the next month. We live near woods with hidden hills/gravel paths so I can’t wait to thrash it about. We already have a granite and senton plus a couple of fast UDI’s but I am sooooo excited to get one of these. :) such a great review and it has definitely made me more excited now x
I noticed that mine has a light clicking sound just like yours does. Doesn't seem to affect anything, performance wise, but sounds different than my other V3 3S RCs from Arrma....have you noticed this too?
I have noticed this and it appears a few people are having the same problem. Now im not sure if its normal or something is wrong but i will be investigating this further as i know my granite certainly doesn't make this noise 😮
But the Vorteks is 1/10 scale, and the 144001 is 1/14 scale, so the body would be too big and would not fit, unless you drill new holes, but it would still look a bit weird. What do you mean by "wells"? If the Vorteks was 1/14 scale, I'd probably put one on my 144001
Just run it and wow what a great RC !!! Got this one on your recommendation! Next one is the Typhon 6s as I have the 3s, can't wait for April 2023 when I pay off c c lol cheers mate 👍🙏🐱
Been waiting to watch this one properly haha bloody so all up the caravan was terrible, great vid mate full of info, it’s a canny little thing that, but still fancy me a Senton man n the 3s range
I have had mine for a month. I am using a 6000MAH 100C 3S Lipo and I am only getting about 12 minutes of run time. I was hoping for a lot more run time, and this is on 75%. The battery was brand new when I got it. Here is what I did to the body post, because I hate the clips. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nef58uy2qrE.html
Hi Nick. I have exactly the same issue on mine. Having had a lot of dialogue with Arrma in the uk (Logic RC) it’s a known problem - the LVC point is set too high (on mine it’s 3.8 v) . An update patch is coming that can be installed by the spektrum programmer or by your LHS. Until then, use the biggest battery you can, gear down the pinion to a 15t or even swap out the esc.
