This is the New Arrma Granite Grom. A 1/18 Scale Mini RC Basher. Will it live up to the Arrma Tough name? I tested it to the absolute limit.

@PhilipCockram 9 месяцев назад

The advent calendar was a great idea . You've been working really hard . Many of us appreciate that .👏🏻 Great lil truck from Arrma . While a long time fan of micros and 1/18 scale . I think the new resurgence and proliferation of this size is partly because the larger scales have become more expensive . These are more affordable to mod as well and you don't need a huge place to run them . 👍🏼🎅🏻🎄

@BobPavlow 9 месяцев назад

I love my Grom. Yea at first I thought the buddy mount system was kinda goofy too. But once you get used to it, it’s actually not bad at all and very easy to remove and remount. The steering is a bit squirrelly too I agree 😂 The only problem I’ve had is one of the plastic teeth on one of the rear driveshaft cups ( I think that’s what my local hobbytown said happened) stripped out. Looks like that’s what happened to yours too, Phil. Most likely from me doing doughnuts in the basement concrete floor 😬😂 So that’s my fault. But my hobbytown even warrantied it and fixed it. Those guys are awesome. Other than that, this thing is a perfect basement basher for me. My body is all scraped and scuffed up. But that gives it character 🤘🏼😂 Great video!

@coyster530 9 месяцев назад

I still miss my mini E Revo was such a fun little car just really hard to find parts for where I live I really regret it though since they've stopped making them I just had a very bad problem stripping differentials I would run through front and rear differentials very quickly

@RACEABLE 9 месяцев назад

Vorteks and Granite are DISCONTINUED😢!do you know their replacement?any thoughts?

@adventurefixn 9 месяцев назад

Amazed your Grom lasted that long and took that abuse! That H style drive cup shaft on the diff’s is the number 1 weak point on these trucks. Mine exploded on 2nd pack taking way less abuse than you showed here. Horizon did warranty it for me and even sent me 2x spares. Hopefully a HD diff comes out soon cause as long as those plastic cups thread into plastic spider gears this problem will remain.

Great video as always. Seems like a good truck but I feel that you get a better bang for your buck with thr Chinese offerings in this segment. I don't go bashing every day so I don't mind waiting a little for parts. Also I am a cheapskate or rather I think that the big brands are way way too expensive.

@woutervanwijk4369 9 месяцев назад

It's a fun truck and indeed if you immediately floor it it won't go straight for some reason. But if you accelerate a bit more gradually it's surprisingly stable. It's pretty well balanced for jumping and I guess they build in weak points on purpose with RTR cars for upgradability. Very curious how the upgrade diffs hold up. Mine will get a brushless conversion soon so diffs will probably have to get upgraded pretty soon. 🙈

@TomleyRC 9 месяцев назад

Yeah, I think the short wheelbase doesn’t help either to keep it going straight. Especially when it’s a bit slippery

My gf got a typhon grom and i got a granite. We where in a parking lot driving she had my grom and i had a losi nitro buggy. Long story short i lost track of little granite and blasted it head to head at full tilt and the the poor little grom like 50 feet tumbling through the parking lot😂😂😂. The only damage was. Adriver shaft that had popped out took the hub off and put everything back together had it driving again in less than 5 minutes. They have my endorsement. I have trust issues with the banggood special i can never find parts for them when they break ill always be able to find a part for an arrma/traxxas/losi/hpi ect.

@mauriciobuitragoosorio230 6 месяцев назад

The hbx 1/16 IS the king of the 1/18 or 1/16 scale, first of all for the price, the best product-price ratio, durability and availability of spare parts. It is even compatible with the Redcat Volcano 16, which is a car that shares the same base. I think it is above the new Arrma Granite Grom and others like the Latraxx Teton, which you pay much more for, this one is cheaper and even in the brushless version, it is also above the other Chinese competition like the Hyper Go, etc. , you could compare this car with the ones I mention on the channel

don't really get the point of this model. Aarma is all about larger, premium models. It looks just like a money making decision to try and grab some of the market dominated by the very good Chinese models in the market, Don't really need Aaama to produce a tough mini basher as there are plenty that are very good and cheaper. Anyway, somebody will buy it simply because of the badge I guess.

The arms look like Tracer too. On the shelf at the model shop. The front uprights are special MJX because of the big, metal CVDs so they took two weeks to get here, but only because I wanted cheap because mine weren't fully dead yet. There's an English site for MJX bits, everything is a quid or two dearer obviously but it's in your hand in two days. Be it a diff or whatever. I can imagine the Arrma will be better for upgrades in the not too distant future. Especially where that diff' is concerned. Plus spares availablity can only get better can't it.
