- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ม.ค. 2022
- This is going to go down as one of the wildest releases that has come through the RC Driver workshop. From the very start, we had no idea what this new vehicle was other than an Arrma car. Arrma supplied us with this new car and only gave instruction to open it up with the camera rolling. So Greg did! See the new Arrma Fireteam Tactical Unit 4WD Speed Assault Vehicle with him for the first time and go over all the details on this tactical themed side-by-side. Of course you need to see this thing in action so there’s plenty of action too. This 1/7-scale machine is a real beast and is loaded with features to take your action RC adventure to the next level! Note: Video recorded in mid December 2021.

Beyond exceptional Greg. Very plush. Agree, the handbrake is a ton of fun on a basher like this. Lots of great information.
Thank you Tony!
Lots of videos on this one but your channel out of all of them always does the best job of breaking this thing down & looking at the guts and how this thing is made up. Really appreciate that part. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! It certainly eats up a lot of time resulting in less videos I can make overall. But if it helps people decide on whether the car is for them or not, the effort was worth it.
Your reviews are hard to beat Greg. Awesome job!!! Man this rig looks fun.
Thank you I put a lot of time in them from filming to testing. 😀
Nailed it Greg, exceptional review!
only exceptional Matt? I think it was beyond exceptional Greg.
Thank you sir!
thanks,great video! this thing looks insane!
Awesome machine. It sure is tough. Stay safe my friend.
Wow. Another awesome review, Greg! ♥️
Thanks!
Great review as always ... the more im seeing it i really love it !
Best review I’ve seen of this car so far
Thank you. Means a lot!
Just got one on the deal and it’s one of my favorites rcs I’ve owned
Awesome rig!!!! loved seeing it rip!!!
I almost stopped half way through the video seeing just unboxing and driving was so slow - better suited for Tamiya (which I do love). Thank goodness you did push it harder in the second half and didn't shy away from showing panel damages. Good to see the limits of this vehicle. Thank you Greg!
Arrma is Killin the game let's go
tremendous machine your reviews are the best and the one that also has a handbrake is the infraction I have and it works perfect for emergencies
I think it closely resembles the UTVs from Westworld. Just need some true airless tires to complete the look. I'm digging it.
Great video! Your right they made that rig for that field.
Looks like running 3s
Thanks for the review.
This is a beast!
Love the Idea Of A Can Am And A Polaris Combined But given the ARRMA Design and A Military Look. Looking Forward To Buying this Somewhere in The Future
This thing is awesome!
Just saw this and it's blowing my mind!!!
It’s one wild beast!
I was thinking this would be a desert/Baja type racer. It looks like it could hold its own with that, but I can appreciate Arrma adding a few things to distinguish it from the typical desert/Baja racer. The handbrake, in particular, is an interesting addition.
lol this thing turned you into a kid when you were driving it. Looks like so much fun!
Yup, I truly had fun with this one. Can’t wait for more!
This was an awesome review!
Well thanks! 😄
very cool!
That looks awesome I am going to get one of them ✌️
That’s amazing 🤩
Dope… thanks for sharing. This is nice.
Very Nice truck 🦇
Great video! Sure reminds me of the SXSs used in the series West World on HBO.
Looks Fun
Arma tactical unit awesome great review & bash Greg my wife ordered 2 both liveries 👍
Wow! That’s goto be a blast. Enjoy!
That is a nice Rc
At first I wasn’t sure if I like it or not. But as I look at it more- I do like it. I would totally get the white camo and run it as a snow-day basher. ☃️
Yup, the white one looks pretty cool. Scale Builders Guild and CCXRC have cool videos with the white version.
Looks like a fun rig to me
This thing is a dream purchase for me, i would love it even more if I could put my own figures in it.
Wow pretty cool arrma 2022👍
Wow I came to a conclusion, the black looks better than the camo white
Awesome looking vehicle.
It’s a wild one for sure
Great review -- "I like this nice, aggressive-looking body" is like a patented RCDriver phrase at this point. I think Arrma had a design meeting where they sat around and asked, "how can we make this look even more aggressive?" -- "I know, we'll have guys with AR-15s in it!!!!" 😂
LOL. I think I have to have shirts made. 😂
This is bringing me back to watching those Yeti XL videos I got so pumped I went out and bought one right away then barely used it lol I guess it depends where you live and if you have access to the right type of terrain where no one will hassle you.
is the yety xl no fun to drive or u lack a place to take it too?
@@jotcw81 I think it could be alot of fun but yeah I'm just not in the right area to enjoy it. Also it wasn't built strong enough for its weight so it's constantly breaking parts unless you upgrade most the vehicle. It turned into a huge money pit lol hope this Arrma is built much better because I can see the potential for alot of fun!!
It's really big and fast!!
Great video. Looks cool, very unusual. Those servos are waaaay too small for a car this big. Horizon is going to sell the hell out of these.
what an absolute UNIT!
Yeah, wish I had it that day we went bashing. 😄
@@rcdriver me too! I think Arrma missed an opportunity to make the people removable for people to add their own action figures! Maybe a 3D print will solve that ;)
@@413RC I’d love to see a Monster Energy wrap on this thing and the crew inside holding ME cans lol
@@413RC I'm hoping for a different body style, probably not in the cards though.
I bought one last minute, one pair of batteries thru it, I luv it
Nice bit like halo warthog 👍
Very Nice Bashing Greg 💯 Arrma has fairly good RC's but I wasn't to fond of my Ex-Outcast 6s with the diffs constantly blowing up. But I'm sure others have better experience.
I think the Look is Awesome but I'll let other Hobbiest experience the FUN and I'll watch it on the Tube
✌🤠👍 Having Fun Laughing Playing and RCing 🙏 Stay Safe and Play Healthy My Friend 💯
Just found your channel through horizon hobbies tweet about your review!
Cool! Welcome 😎
Just had my hobby store order me the white one!!! just bought the super rock rey the other day also!!!
It's like a cross between the Talion and the YETI 💪😜🤯😵🤤
The TYRES are something definitely 'NEW' They look like a game changer.. Can't wait to try them and see what they can do.. I would if they will sell them x4 pre glued?
I want this!!!
Cool looking buggy, I wounder how the body would look on the xmaxx?
I WANT ONE!
I already own 3 Arrma rigs wasn't in the market for a new rig but... this would look extra sick w a bright light bar 👍🏽
Yeah it would!
Not sure of the looks and price of this thing but could really hear in your voice how much fun you had!
Yeah, I was having too much fun that day. 😀
Intrigued. Its based on the mohave chassis, I have a mohave, Might get the rollacge,bumpers etc from this and slap on my mohave ;)
Great review great. You're videos are extremely well done. With this being arrmas heaviest vehicle with these electrics did you notice any heat issues? In warm weather and grassy areas I think it will be a problem at over 13lbs. How was the body at keeping debris out of the chassis compartment? Looks like it has very good coverage.
Unfortunately being in the Northeast I haven’t been able to temp check it in warm weather. All my running so far has been in below freezing temps. That being said, I have done back to back runs without a break and without issue so it appears promising. The inside does get dirt in, but the center driveline area sees minimal debris. Thanks for the compliments!
Posted a pic of the inside under our community tab.
Is it alittle nose heavy? I seen other vids they were nose diving a bit also
Lucky you 👍 😀.
I go to RC madness all the time. Can you please tell me where that cool track is that you drive on?
What motors are they using in the fire storm? Is it the same one as they are use in their vehicles
The stance, size, tires, pro-2a, etc is all great. But man, as an avid Jeeper and off-roader, I see these rzrs everywhere. Trying to imagine a strike team or whatever using one of them is just hard for me to wrap my head around ha.
great video as always!! Just wondering - are you 1 handed driving or what type of setup/strap are you using for your gopro?
Yeah, I drive one handed for all the close up action. I use a GoPro on a boom pole in my other hand.
@@rcdriver right on! Thank you. Love the videos bro 👌👊
Nice review! Did you notice any significant ballooning with those tires?
No, they don’t seem to over expand.
NIIICE!
Hey is that up behind lesters old track in wolcott?
I spend so much time trying to convince my wife that RCs are not toys that I wouldn’t risk buying this rig as the driver / passenger figures are waaay too toy like! Personally I like it tho!
amain has a sale on these.. $399. had to pull the trigger, can't wait til it gets here. so much car for the money
That looks amazing im suprised its not 8s but love it
It’s got a wild look. 6S seems to be just right.
Can't wait for that email
Hola buenas para preguntarle si el combo velion de traxxas 3350R se puede montar en el trx4 y trx6
Good review. What off road park is that? Prairie City in Sacramento?
Thanks! It’s a Top Secret location in CT. 😄
Hey, was there a Battery in the box if im not wrong ?
Excellent video, I sold my losi dbxle 2.0 and I need a new toy, which model is more fun, this or the talion.
Talion test will be on the channel soon. Waiting on the rain to stop so I can start my testing and filming. Lol
I’m in ct would love to bash at that field.
Looks very interesting. Been on the market for a new basher. Think I’m still gonna go with the Mojave exb
Can’t go wrong with the Mojave. Love that platform.
I will convert mine to this lol.
@@rcdriver 800.00 it’s on a Mojave chassis 😄😄
@@1etergen what??? You put a 50$$ mark up on it!!! Try 749.99$$ Lol 😆😆😆 👍
@@ervinmedina9014 try $399 special right now. 😂
HANDBRAKE! YES!
Soooo cool Right!?!?
What an Awesomeness rig🤩😍
I guess it will be around £800 🇬🇧 and 850 🇺🇸?
Are the figures removable?
If it's the mohave chassis, is there a reason to get this over the mohave? I prefer the looks of the mo over this so are there any upgrades or changes to make this better?
Its wider using the kraton arms. It's also 2lbs heavier. With the same electrics the Mojave would be livelier. The fireteam body would keep debris out better though. My mojo is always a mess inside...
I bet this thing has major parachute action of the jumps.
It lands on it's feet way more than MAXX does, that's for sure. This one may be good, hope it's actually durable.
The long, wide footprint, plus the long travel shocks really keep this thing stable. I believe the tall wall tires, although wacky looking really help with stability and landings too. So far so good!
What’s the weight vs kratron 6s or Mojave’s 6s
And why does it not come with the DX3 radio like all other Arrmas near that price point? Hope that isn’t a trend we will see continue!
I like that arrma gave us a scale vehicle, but I've seen better interiors on New Brights. Hopefully there's aftermarket interiors just around the corner for this.
I don't know if this was intentional but the dudes in the vehicle look like they just stepped of the set of The Expanse! Their suites resemblance to Martian light armour is a little uncanny. Maybe this is meant to be used as a Mars rover? It might be cool to cover it in MCRN decals? Now I suddenly want one just to do that!
Umbrella Corp want's the vehicle back :) Could be a great rock racer?? How much dirt got into the inside, anything on the fan etc? Cheers.
Posted a pic of the inside under our community tab.
How do I get on sellers/manufacturers lists to be emailed when they sent me a product to review. I’d be glad to help out
The body looks like a UTV, but the tires are double-sized!
Thanks for your great review Greg but for now I'm staying faithful to the Mojave.
Genius idea: Collaborate with 343 Industries: make a Warthog version of this!!!! Halo fans would become R/C fans in the blink of an eye!!!
Do you think traxxas will drop something along the line like this?
Don’t know. They’re pretty quiet with their release with the exception of the wacky V2 leak.
Good review. Thanks for highlighting its a Mojave chassis and Kraton arms. The SLT3 radio/ no AVC stability in this is a bit shocking with the high MSRP, 750 USD!
It's 400usd right now!
Was going to get but the UK horizon page is down and can’t get from the link unfortunately, any ideas where I can obtain 1?
Hmm. Maybe just give the Horizon UK page some time to come back up. Not sure where else to direct you to in the UK. Sorry!
Modelsport in the UK have them listed for delivery in February somertime.
Hey Mr. RC driver which do you like better that fire team or the mojave ?
Love my Mojave, but I think I might lean towards this new Fireteam beast.
Thank you for taking time to reply!
It looked like there was an opening in the bottom exposing the spur gear.. lol that seems like a terrible idea wouldn’t it just get filled with dirt and grass and small pebbles?
This is pretty much the standard design for 1/8 based platforms for ages. It’s very rare that there is a problem.
Great video as always. Saved me some money as rather gutted with this RC :-( seems to many good ideas in one package. Shame. 👍
Did the body keep the chassis and electronics clean? Almost looks like it’s completely covered lol
Compared to the outside, the inside is pretty clean. 😄
That's the first thing I thought of. NO WAY I want that thing, the cleanup is going to be awful.
I meant the chassis looks completely covered or protected form debris
How do you clean your RC vehicles?
This one will be a hose down with CowRC cleaner. Then I’ll spray the metal with WD40, brushed it down, followed by blowing it off until everything is completely dry with an air compressor.
