I have the previous 3s vorteks since it came out and I love it, it’s super fast and some upgrades made it perfect, I like the improvements they made with this new version but they give you a less powerful 2 in 1 esc and no DX3 radio so it’s about the same lol
I really like the new colors. Arrma is killing it. I prefer larger scale but the 3s vehicles are perfect size to just keep one in the truck at all times for random bash sessions. They're tough as nails and if they do break they're cheap to fix. Redcat, Arrma, and Rlaarlo are doing work!
Would be fine with the 2-in-1 receiver if it was at least DSMR compatible too, at least with the lower kv motors 3s is a lot more usable than it used to be, only downside is having get more expensive 3s packs vs 2s packs that I can use for both bash and club racing. All in all good to see Arrma at least only making current platforms better with each release.
@ I get what some other comments day about how most guys won’t upgrade their radios, but most of my SLT radios have developed an inconsistent throttle neutral after 7ish months of use
@@joshnoi1804is that sad? More customers mean more new vehicles for us all. Most of us that would program esc's also swap out perfectly programmable stock electronics to put new ones in anyways. 10bl120's are cheap and would power this great. After buying that and a receiver for your favorite radio (like we do on all our rigs) this is still cheaper than the VXL Jato.
Great video as always! I loved your take on where this fits in the ARRMA line relative to Typhon, Senton, and Granite. Thank you. Loved the Vorteks V3 video a few years back on prep to get the car ready for use. Did any of that seem relevant for V4?
i love it that they are integrating the higher side rails/fenders in their new models. Arrma body clips suck so glad they got rid of that as well. They used to have an option to use an external receiver in the 2 in one shame its not an option anymore...
I still have the blue/white V2 Granite which must be fixed to drive again. It does not move when I push the throttle and I'm no technician. So I am between fixing the old one with the better remote control than the new one - or to buy the Brand new Granite. OMG decisions decisions! What do you think?
I think that the Traxxas exects better skip that year end trip to Aspen and get in front of a drawing board and get some pricing advice. If not they are going to fade away
I'm still scrooge on clipless. My Xmaxx ruined clipless for me. If it keeps the body on I'm fine with clipless i suppose but i prefer body pins that keep everything in place until i remove it. I like the Gorgon type. Really easy to use, work great but nothing sticking up through the body.
Arrma is really showing out.
Riight??? Glad the 3S line got a much-needed refresh, it's been 4 years!

DSMR would have been great, that's what I miss most.

99% of buyers will never buy a custom radio or program their esc, so this should be more then enough.
around 85% please. 99% is not true.
That’s also the problem with this approach. Does Arrma want to weed out the true enthusiasts by forcing all new models to follow in these footsteps?
Sadly, they target new customers. That way, new ppl get in to the hobby and turn into enthusiasts and buy more Arrma cars and parts.

Loving the new colours on these .... Looking forward to the new granite and seeing that in action ... Good video man 🔥
Those have always been cool… and they keep getting better and better…in my opinion
Great video as always!

thanks, I'm glad that helped out

Nice centerdiff and price, with good old capabilities. I'm curious to see the Granite, my all time favorit Basher it's a absolute no brainer...
Maybe in 6 days we see big rock and granite 223s...
Man! A Granite with c.dif and longer arms !🎉
Yes I

Well look , now i have 3 new rigs to add to my list .
I just ordered the Typhon, pretty excited about it.
Take notes TRXXS...cept the 2n1 esc 😅
They going to bring out the big rock in this lineup?
I think that the Traxxas exects better skip that year end trip to Aspen and get in front of a drawing board and get some pricing advice.

I was worried the Pink and Purple didn't make it onto the clipless bodies. My wife's car might just get an upgrade.
Clipless is perfect. Welcome to the future.
I have to admit I'm liking clipless bodies now
I'm still scrooge on clipless. My Xmaxx ruined clipless for me. If it keeps the body on I'm fine with clipless i suppose but i prefer body pins that keep everything in place until i remove it. I like the Gorgon type. Really easy to use, work great but nothing sticking up through the body.
Which one should I get Vorteks or the Typhon?😩
More handling, Typhon. More bashing, Vorteks.
how much you guys in the us can get it including the tax and shipping ? here in my country its around 550usd :(
Is it not possible to use your own receiver with this esc?
no
This and the Senton has just killed the MT10 and SC10 Pro 4.
No center bearing 😮
only the longer chassis cars (Senton, etc.) have it.
the short ones never had one! Only Long Chassis like Senton/BigRock....
