The latest ARRMA 3S vehicles have been unleashed and we have one to test out. Meet Version 3 of the Granite 4x4 3S BLX RTR Monster Truck. The popular ready to run basher truck has gone through a number of revisions to improve durability and performance. In this video we’ll go over those changes and make comparisons to the previous version. Then Greg will take the truck out for some off-road bashing on both a 2S LiPo with some close-up video and then on 3S while he narrates how the truck feels and reacts. Plus he’ll give you his final thoughts on the truck as well. Will this truck hold up to abuse? Let’s just say it leaves the test field with only three wheels. You’ll need to watch the full video to see what happens!

Awesome stuff man love your reviews. I'm pulling the trigger on this today. It will be my first and you got me stoked for it. Definitely will be a long term subscriber

@droningharry 3 года назад

I'm an Arrma guy. All 3 Granite V2 4X4 BLX, Talion V3 6S and my V4 Kraton 4S. Both the Talion and Kraton are waiting on parts to fix them. My Granite the only complaint I ever had was the Body. The Orange backend is destroyed but I have new bodies for all 3 Trucks. I'll Gorilla Tape the new ones. You did convince me that I'm gonna pull the trigger and buy the V3 of the Granite. I like it, seems great. It's a great price point as well. Great video.

@rileysvideos2059 3 года назад

Got the v.2 for my brother to get him into the hobby, he loves it! Had that same screw back out, no locktite. I like how arrma made a hole in the base of the driveshaft to tighten it, worth noting tho you can't get to it with a regular Allan tool, I have rc tools fixed it up. Got him a 50c 3s this thing wheelies even @ full speed! Im impressed by how tough it is, he's not a good driver 😆 love your vids Greg I like the commentary part while driving, that's new. Keep it up dude!👍👏

Bought the v3 about 3 months ago absolutely love the truck. Did have a faulty speed controller basically right out of the box but was replaced no charge and haven't had an issue since! I have broken some components but that's due to the cold weather over all seems like a great truck love it so far!

I like that new wheelie bar design. Looks like it would fit my Kraton 4s. Might just pick that up. I already did a mod where I am using the better 6s wheels and tires for the 4s wheelie bar. Just had to tap 4mm holes and bolt them on. Much more stable. Block long wheelies all day.

It'd be cool if you could do followups on models talking about what is wrong and what has broken. It seems like the only time we get to hear about the defiencies of a model is when a new revision comes out that fixes those deficiencies.

@Jarhead1313 3 года назад

I've got the V2 and have always loved it except for the leaky stock shocks, and because I love airbrushing bodies so much, alot of Stampede bodies fit the Granite. I'm currently running the Pro-Line Ambush "Bronco" Body . I was wanting to get the new Big Rock it looks sick,but unfortunately it's not as aftermarket body compatible as the Granite,so I'm just going to save my money and wait for something else to drop.

@@Dusty2424 its a little bit too fast, at 100% power on 3s I usually lose a wheel, had to locktite them down. But overall truck is awesome, I'm suprised how fast that thing goes. Just one more question, ever happen to you that truck won't go in straight line at low throttle? Somehow mine is going to the right and I can't figure out why.

@Dusty2424 3 года назад

@@anzevrhunc740 I had that happen but I found out that the steering changes a little between low and high speed so you just must have done the trim at high speed but if you trim it at low speed it probably have the trim be off at high speed

I just bought my first arrma from horizon maybe 30 mins ago I put two day delivery on it so hopefully it shows up soon. I got that exact truck except I got the brushed version 550 motor. The granite 4×4 brushed it's the newest one. I was going to get the brushless but it didn't come with the lipo n charger says RTR but it wasn't cause of that.. so I got the brushed one cause it came with everything... So I'll be upgrading within a few weeks it should be fun.. imma paint it black and prob put a old school truck body on it. Castle brushless maybe just really depends

@cadenbarnfather1434 2 года назад

might be strong but not too easy to repair. i crashed mine and broke the arm that holds the front wheels and suspension together in order to replace it i had to: 1 take off the wheel 2 unscrew pretty much every screw in the suspension 3 take the bottom floor plate off 4 take the grill off (made even harder by the use of the screws on the inside instead of the outside) 5 take the metal bar that holds the arm out 6 put the new arm on and do everything again but in reverse. so note that even though it is incredibly strong if you do manage to break it the non-electronic parts are incredibly hard to replace

@yiarkungfu 3 года назад

The axle shaft is an issue with all of the V3s. There are some RU-vid videos about things to do before your first time out, that's one of them. Puting some Locktight on the little screws and possibly swap the screw out with a longer one so it can get a better hold.
