Great video nice little rig. I was there the other day with my grandson's vorteks 4x4 3s and jumped my kraton 6s on the bmx track. I got that drain and broke a 4mm shocker bolt. Keep them coming mate 👍 😊
Oh no not that drain again, I've hit it many times, always ends bad😱 Yes I'm glad my dad got himself the Grom, I think it will be EPIC with a little brushless combo😃 Thanks mate👍
So glad Aarma released these. I bought some faster 3s and 6s cars when my boys turned 2 and 4 and it was WAY too soon 😂 These are great intros to kids also or just to bring out for some quick bashing.
Yeah a 6s car for a 2 or 4 year old is kinda dangerous I would think😱😅 Yes these are a much better option for the young ones, fast enough and tough enough to be fun but not dangerous for your kids if something was to go wrong👌
Real cool little truck from Arrma. I think its got a fair bit bit of 1/18 competition from Haiboxing, HoSpeed, teton, losi, Bezgar...and more! should have a big shoot out! Great video Saul! I hope your Dads Hand Gets Better. Hes very lucky it wasn't much worse!
Thanks Robbie👍 You know what, I honestly forgot about the 1/18 HBX, at its price and especially now coming with a 3 wire servo I think it is definitely better value for money. The Grom is better handling and stronger than the Teton from my experience and the Teton is still more expensive here in Australia as are the Losi small scale cars🤣🤦 And it's definitely better in my opinion than HoSpeed, Bezgar and many other brands I have no experience with so can't fairly compare them. It's a quality car for sure but definitely a little pricy compared to most other 1/18s on the market. And the first thing I said to dad when he came home from hospital was "your lucky you didn't lose all your fingers"🤭
I’m glad you kept mentioning the suspension being bouncy. Every other review says “oil filled shocks feel amazing” meanwhile I’m watching thinking to myself “no that looks super bouncy like the cheap Amazon cars” so thanks for being honest haha there needs to be a solution for this
@@rccrazyIs it bouncy in comparison to other rc cars at this scale or similar scale? Maybe its the scale and terrain in comparison to said scale (if that is a factor)
@lyricofwise6894 why do you make your comments and questions so confusing and complicated🤔 It was bouncy because the shock caps popped, simple😅 They are oil shocks so you compare to other cars with oil shocks despite the scale, no?
@@rccrazyagreed. They’re being compared to all other oil filled shocks. Despite scale, an oil filled shock is an oil filled shock and they will all feel similar. These are unreasonably bouncy for oil filled shocks. Has nothing to do with scale or terrain
Glad to see it arrive 😎 Awesome run down on the car mate you are really nailing it when talking now very informative. Hope your dad’s hand heals up fine with no long lasting issue. Very tempted to get one in the future 😬 How did you go with the shocks?
Getting better at editing out my mistake aswell probably🤦 sorry😅 Thanks Michael! It was only his ring finger luckily but one tendin was cut 90% apparently so he had to have micro surgery and he's now got upto 6 weeks of rehab, don't think it will cause issues in the future as long as he does his rehab exercises properly. And the bottom caps on the shocks threaded but I'm not surprised considering how thin the thread is. Might have to just use a tiny bit of super glue on the thread, that'll work until we upgrade them🤷
@@rccrazy That's good to hear luckynhe didn't lose the finger 😬 Ahh I see. I do like the grom so I hope your dad keeps it and we get to see some more videos and any potential upgrades you may do to it in the future 😉👍👍
He's definitely keeping it and yep I'll be changing it to brushless for him and possibly some upgrades, probably some available now since filming this video.
Thanks Tim and thanks from Dad🙂 Few weeks and he'll be back to normal hopefully. It is a awesome 1/18 truck but yes the thread is far too narrow/thin, the front bottom caps actually threaded🫤 Alloy caps with the same thread will fix it but I had none so until we upgrade I just put a dab of super glue on the threads and then reinstalling them(only the bottom caps) top caps seem to be fine.
Nice video! I have mixed feelings on this one. It's nice that Arrma is getting into the mini game, however there is tough competition with Hypergo, Haiboxing, and Rallrlo. I even just picked up a brushless Deerc for under $100 🤷♂️
Thanks man! I feel you, it's a pricy car especially here in Australia. Personally I like this more than MJX, Deerc and I won't even mention the other brand😔 But yes Hailboxing and more so JJRC at their price point for what you get, yeah well better than the Grom at $240aud😬 Saying that though, the Grom is a HIGH QUALITY car compared to almost all 1/18 I've seen (talking specifically 1/18)
Favor bro. It’s raining cars and dogs here. Cant seem to get a decent t day for a bash atm. Would you please do some basherbody testing videos. You’re a star bro I was hoping you would shoot some indestructible body videos. Also there’s some good upcoming news soon that makes me just wish for this rain to stop. Great place to. Vas goes here. Idea for you. Invade the superman jump and let’s see how many people we can get seeing you at the superman send spot with a BasherBodies shell Once the rain clears I’m going to be back with a vengeance. Doing what I love 👊😎 Great video bro I hope your dad heals up and his hand is okay. ☺️🤘
Thanks man👊 Yeah I'll definitely do more videos with the Basherbodies when I can, starting to take a long time making these videos. Got reviews, repairs and upgrade videos to do but just keep falling further behind🥵 And I rarely can get to the BMX so it's hard to make plans for there, all depends if or when I have a lift there but also how I'm feeling at the time, you know what I'm talking about I assume. And yes dad is healing well😊
@@rccrazy Prayers sent for your Pa 🙏😊 I’m almost ready to go seems how it’s winter Getting parts and batts sometimes slows me down. But life gets boring when the cars are on the shelf. I’ll be back up soon with some spare parts for breakages.
Thanks man👊 You didn't like the gun tool either, no I'm not a fan😆 And I tell you what that little charger is fast and effective especially being a 3a charger😃
The box states it is waterproof yes. I personally don't drive my RCs in the wet, this one being my dad's it's completely upto him what he does with it.
I believe they are including these smaller controller with a number of there newer cars now, all the new 3s cars have these controller and a 2in1 board😬
No sorry I can not help as mine and my dad's are both fine, no delays. You may have to contact the supplier or Horizon Hobbies as it may be a faulty receiver or transmitter.
Great little car. Hope your dad gets better soon mate. Thanks for the video 👍
It is a very cool little car I think.
And dad is recovering well💪
Thanks mate!

This one is bouncy for sure😵💫
Thicker shock oil will definitely help.

Great vid.Hey where’s this in Adelaide?
Cheers mate👍
Yeah I think you may already realise it's not Adelaide, I'm in Melbourne
Great little car.. Very familiar that spot that's where the great man Vas (Aussie RC playground) tests his rigs isn't it?
Yeah same park that Vas uses sometimes, best skatepark for these little cars👌
The BMX track is epic for the big rigs obviously😅
Lol just realised it ain’t in Adelaide!!
Nice video, no more of the stupid gun tool :D dang that charger is small :)
Thanks man👊
You didn't like the gun tool either, no I'm not a fan😆
And I tell you what that little charger is fast and effective especially being a 3a charger😃
IS IT WATERPROOF?
The box states it is waterproof yes.
I personally don't drive my RCs in the wet, this one being my dad's it's completely upto him what he does with it.
Controller is different now in mega?
I believe they are including these smaller controller with a number of there newer cars now, all the new 3s cars have these controller and a 2in1 board😬
what is the gps you use
Skyrc GSM020
just got my grom and steering has a delay. any suggestions ?
No sorry I can not help as mine and my dad's are both fine, no delays.
You may have to contact the supplier or Horizon Hobbies as it may be a faulty receiver or transmitter.
Cheaper than my arrma outcast 8s😊...
I would hope so😅
I love my mini bashers
