    Just picked up my Vorteks last week. Absolutely love how it handles and it'll wheelie big time with decent 3s lipos. I am a little hesitant about how basically everything is plastic, even parts that on my kiddo's much cheaper rc car are metal like the drive shaft. Hopefully it was a design choice for weight and to allow flex where metal parts are not going to flex and will cause parts that connect to them to break.

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Youre spot on with the metal parts. Even a lot of bigger cars are mostly plastic (though many are not). Its tough and is allowed to flex unlike metal 👍👍

  • @Rek_Rc

    People used to say that was the only fragile car in the Arrma 3s line, but i think you pretty much put that myth to rest here. Nicely done!

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Yup not exactly my experience lol, but I think the taller suspension of the granite does likely help a bit!
      Thanks dude!!!

  • @samclingan1084
    @samclingan1084 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Looks like you set the boost to 5, but if you didn't, it helps with flips.
    And yes, it doesn't let you go straight from forward to reverse. You have to double tap the trigger to go in reverse.
    Not the best thing for flips. The Vorteks is built for speed. It can wheelie, but mine is moody about it. With fresh tires and tight slop it can wheelie down the street.
    Btw thanks for actually driving it. Most just putter it around.

This might be my all time favorite show, ever. Thank you for putting so much time and effort into it. As for tending to the kids.... lol. Yeh, RC cars are much better behaved, all things considered.

    Hi mate great video great vorteks 4x4 3s 😊. I got one for my grandson Ryett. I changed motor mount shockers and put tower to tower centre brace. Once differentials destroy them selfs I've got metal differentials and drive shafts. It a fantastic Skatepark basher. 👍🤪🤣🤣🤣

    I freely admit that I am a Vorteks fan boy. I have the full 3s line and it is definitely my favorite. I showed it a little love with a 4S center diff, wide arm kit, chassis brace, metal F&R diffs, and 2.8" UpgradeRC Dirt Claw tires. The car is absolutely the best of the 3S line. After mods it is still the fastest and best handling. But with new tires it now has a ton of air control and is a stunt monster. I am about $600 or $700 into the truck but I don't regret a dime of it. Also...My condolences on your loss.

    I haven’t driven the vortex, I do have a granite. I put the “wide kit” on my granite that’s not actually a kit… 😂 I got the RPM arms for the typhoon/big rock and it makes the granite next level! It handles so much better and doesn’t roll over anywhere near as easy. You also have to get longer turnbuckles. I highly recommend widening the granite! You still have the shorter wheelbase for air control, flips and stunts, etc. and you have a wider stance for ground control, handling and drifting! It’s the best of both worlds! Although I haven’t driven a big rock or a vortex so I could be WAY off 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for another great video!!

    Fantastic job on the review and on all the bashing too. I am a proud owner of the Arrma Vorteks BLX 3s I also never bothered to swap out the stock pinion gear for the same reason you haven't I just don't have much space to play around with the speed of it but if I had it? I'm very sure it would very fast mine's love doing wheelies especially on the aspault I even still mange to do it on the artificial grass at my local park I go too near by me I figure maybe that's because I have the punch settings on my ESC set very high as well as the settings on the radio set to 100% for throttle now I don't do jumps with it mainly because I don't have any ramps nor do I have a skatepark around me also if I'm lucky I might get a tiny jump off a curve somewhere on the street?

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The Vorteks looks fun but seems less durable than the Granite. I got the Granite a few weeks ago after seeing your review and others as it seems like the toughest basher for jumping. I'll be doing the wheel extension mod down the road but for now the only issue I've had is the plastic spur gear stripped after only a few hours use. Some of that was on sand and gravel so I wonder if some debris got in there to strip the gear. RIP to your Grandpa. ❤

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The granite definitely has some things going for it that might add durability, like the bigger tires helping cushion and stop control arms from bending as much. I’m surprised you stripped a spur. Actually in any of my Arrmas I have yet to damage a gear at all. Diffs included. I know it will happen though. lol Yes the sand definitely could have greatly contributed to that.

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Well I’ll ask you this. Plan on doing big jumps and trying to learn backflips and doubles and front flips and not a lot of ground maneuvering? Or wanna rip around on the ground with some decent jumps here and there?

    • @aquablaster86
      @aquablaster86 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Mainly staying on the ground with jumps here and there, but then again this would be my first rc car, so that could all go out the window once I try it out 😂 I did end up going with the Vortek. What's the biggest mah battery that can fit it? Or your recommendation on what battery would be best? As far as Performance, not concerned with price.

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @aquablaster86 I was gonna say borteks anyway, as you can see it can still handle the flips pretty well. The biggest I have are these: amzn.to/4bLaviX
      But it looks like these are the same dimensions and are higher capacity. I’ve had my zeee batteries for 3 years almost and they’ve been perfect. amzn.to/3QSSCGU

  • @drewcas76

    Any comment on no centre-diff? Love the Vorteks, but wonder if an MT10 (with the centre diff) handles better?

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      True I should have brought that up actually. Weirdly enough this handles almost like it does have one. Maybe because of the AVC. But you will still have the likelihood of a worn slipper clutch or needing to adjust it from time to time. I had more fun with this than I do with the Mt10, but overall, I definitely prefer a center diff.

    • @drewcas76
      @drewcas76 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If I knew what I was doing (and I don’t) I’d look to lower an MT10, add a wing, and tune for a low-altitude agile handler.

    • @DerbyCityRC
      @DerbyCityRC  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Haha sorry to make this difficult. Uuummmmm. Man that’s tough. This handles a little better for sure.
      The WOV is bigger, a little slower, but also has the center diff. Though 44 mph is plenty for me lol. When it comes to big crashes, I feel the Arrma might handle that better but in the one video of each so far, broke the exact same parts on each truck lol.
      Parts for the wov are now available on the buddy RC site, so parts availability is good for both. Really can’t go wrong with either but a seriously tough question. (Whichever you decide, if you use the links we provide for any RC, it helps us out, so we always appreciate that). I want to say the WOV due to the size for the money, but Arrma has the familiarity of being tried and true over the long term (though still has issues). If you have any other questions, I’ll do my best to help you decide lol

      @DerbyCityRC i honestly am kicking myself for not getting 2 of the 4s v2.5 trucks instead of the 2 6s ones i got. Not that i dont like them... but i feel like the new 4s line is built better/tougher. The kraton for sure. It's not as long as the 6s, and i honestly prefer the plastic chasis. More likely to handle the punishment and cheaper to replace, IF that was ever warranted.
      Man, while i got ya, i gotta tell you that your vids are amazing. Your work ethic is impeccable. You never slouch on quality, and you pay attention to the little things.... like the zig zag tear away box end for the Vorteks to drive out of, or the editing cuts and sound fx.
