I love the look of this car, a great compliment to the Infraction or Felony. The body and colors are gorgeous. I am interested in the new Infraction, a brushed version is smart as not everyone can or wants to invest $700 in a car. I like the idea of the 570 motor with good torque in the new Infraction, I can see that motor going into my ECX Ruckus.
I had just been talking to a friend that I race RC with that Arrma needed to come out with an 1/8th GT-Style car. I would like to see something more based on the 6s Typhon, but this may do as well.
How can you not love arrma. They are constantly coming out with new stuff and making changes to any issues that show up with new versions. They do great with customer input there is no other company that does that.
@@DB-qm4jx they use to unless you call getting a new body color every 3 years support. I can tell you for sure traxxas does not give a shit what you want as a customer only what is going to make them more money.
Uhhh, Aarma breaks Everytime I take it outside. The Typhon fills up the power module with dirt and destroys the spur gear if not taken apart and cleaned everytime I decide to hit the dirt. I hate aarma
@@dboogeman2002 well sounds like you know what your doing.but atleast it drives like what they sold you. Could have sold you a 500 dollar truck that can't take a corner then tell you spend 200 more to be like what they advertised. Not sure if you know that has has fixed those issues you speak of already. Has traxxas done anything for you ever.
Should do away with those little holes that are on chassis in front of rear tire.. Make that area flat lots rocks get stuck there.. Also it's a compact version of the big rock like awesome
I was wondering if you were going to get your hands on today, I do like the idea of having a smaller on road vehicle when you have less space. I have run my infraction on 3S in a smaller parking lot because of that but it definitely does not perform nearly as well at that battery voltage where as I believe the Vendetta performs it’s best
It’s perfect just the way it is. Noooo 4s nooooo 6s that’s just extra weight and extra heat! There’s no better way to run a 3900 kv as practical as done here.
I agree guys go crazy adding weight and lowering kv to run bigger cans. Just to wear tires out faster , bc not beating a properly set up rc running what its intended, the only advantage woukd be running back to back have less heat
Heh, if they release one of these as a nitro I'm all over it. I friggin love nitro, it's all I run. Looks like a hella fun car but electro just ain't my jam. Maybe the body'll fit on one of my existing cars. I have an SC10GT and a Tekno NB48 2.0 that might be a good fit....
It looks great! But I just don’t get the need for it… it’s a slightly different Infraction/Felony. Those two are already basically the same, and this is yet another version? I get that it’s on a different platform and cheaper, but I’m not convinced that it’s different enough to stand out.
Something tells me that the upcoming Maverick 4s on road vehicle is going to be better. It's 4s capable and it has a center diff. I'm not a fan of the slipper clutch. More fun than my Infraction V2 on 6s or my Felony converted to 8s? 🤣🙄
These new arrmas are kind of geared for the beginner. It’s not an enthusiast level rc imo. Idk. I was so excited until I learned more about this and the infraction. The infraction is brushed….. and looks like it was made by Walmart.
@@joseCalderon1976 lol because he works for Arrma / or the guy was making a video with the arrma guy and he was wearing a horizon hobby shirt. He’s not going to say anything negative 😂. Wait for the true reviews to come out. I will review it and be blatantly honest and nobody will see it but there are some reviewers out there who will be honest. You just have to look for them. And I don’t know this channel , Steve’s rc? I am not implying he wouldn’t be honest in a review.
But will the ESC & servo last more than a couple of months like my Senton & Big Rock's didn't.? Arrma tough.... Spectrum not so tough.! 😜 👍 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚙 🚗 🚓 🚐

@@gboulter He must not have gotten your copy of "the official rules of giving opinions on toy cars". This was a first look video and general driving impressions, I'm sure there will be countless videos about the "true, unadulterated" driving characteristics of the car once it's released. Relax a little, life's more enjoyable that way :-)
Qurious how the parts availability will be. Modelstores (one of biggest in my country) have tons of new cars (like 80 kratons) to sell, but few parts to back them up. Rather have good parts availability then new models... Won't buy this one, i'm all off-road...
@@StevesRC I do believe that to. But it is a policy thing in my opion. A new car is made from the same parts, so it's a choice if you sell parts and less cars, or only new cars...
I don't like it at all to me it's ugly and looks like a Walmart rc noway wood I spend over 500 with tax but for anyone who does like it it's fine it's just not for me
Good looking! But a POS with the power module!!!!!!!! Arrma NEEDS to RE-ENGINEER the power module. It gets STUCK in the chassis, the spur is going to strip. Poor design.
Dont like this. 👎👎It Should have been built on a True 1/8 chassis. The Typhon would have been a Great choice! And the Center Fin running down the back of the Body Looks Ugly.
@@StevesRC in 2021 a 1/8 scale on road RC will always be upgraded by the owner to get at least 100mph. You will soon start to upgrade, then you'll understand. Not once has anyone said "Yep I'll leave it stock, I don't Want more speed" Thanks for the video, but I stand by my comment.
Good to see it running.
Yes indeed!
Looks like a lot of fun, thanks for the share!
This is a really good looking rig, Thanks Steve & Greg!
I'm absolutely in love with it!
First time seeing Greg drive 😱. I'm impressed 👍. Great overview of this new road Ripper. Light and fun for the win!!!!
He can certainly drive :)
I love the body. it reminds me of a pikes peak hill climb prototype.
We are glad they made this for people.
Sweet little ride
Looks great Steve & Greg! Very informative. So fast for 3s
Glad you enjoyed it
Yes. Need one of these. And the smaller Hoons. Want!
You had me since the release video this morning but this just justified my purchase😆
Good deal!!
I like how he called the chassis composite instead of plastic
A true Marketer :)
😅😅
Damn...that looks so good. I want it!
So stoked to get into these. I love my 3s line up. I have a big rock typoon street speed machine basher so this really interests me.
This Hobby a stress Relief ✌🏎🏎
Brewers!? My man! Wisconsin represent!!
Wow am loving this from Arrma bro 😍 love the Body and Arrma have knocked it out the Park again 😁 awesome test video, you got my Sub and Like 👍
Design looks sick. Forget what anyone says.
I didn’t know you had your own channel. Fun! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Heck ya man!
The design confuses me! 🤷♀️ interested to see future reviews. Nice one for getting it so soon ♥️
This is sweet
i sold my felony so might pick this up or the brushed infraction to upgrade :)
I want one NOW 😃

Yup or a Tamiya build
I think it’s ugly and i also think arrma is trying to hard on bringing in all these new products out every month and they all look the same
@@Smodlee You have no idea what you are talking about lol
How about a better looking wheel for the big infraction/felony??
Absolutely amazing, will be adding it to the fleet.
Let’s go Brewers! Wisconsin love
Sick brotha. I wish horizon hobby would work with me!
I'm thinking more on the brushed infraction looks awesome plus I have a brushless set up for it 75mph way fast enough for me🎁💕
and its always upgradable if you want down the road :)
Nice running footage
Thanks 👍
I love my vendetta. Put a 120 amp esc, run it on 4s and it does 100mph on stock gearing. Great budget Speed basher
It’s pretty quick for 3s
70mph🙊
Love it!!;;😍😍
Is it about the same size as the 1/8 typhon?
Great one it is like having an infraction but at a hopped up bug rock price.💪👍✌
absolutely! Such a nice balance of price and performance.

Its really nice in a smaller lot. It can still eat up the road, but its nice and light too so it takes less space to speed up and slow down.
GOTTA HAVE IT !!!nice video
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice!!! will they push for aftermarket (Leds) and (kits) for this product? the body is super spot-on!
Not sure if Arrma will specifically, but there's quite a few LED options out there that are easy to install with a little work :)
@@StevesRC Good Point!
One sweet car, love it 👍🏻
#Beauty
It would be perfect on the chassis with A 4s
Can the Vendetta body fit the Senton 6S?
I've not checked, but I wouldn't imagine it would without significant mods :)
Nice video and channel, we subbed 😀 cheers!

What's the release date?
Should be November "next month"
I don’t see that car going 70 I’m curious the pinion size
*with optional pinion. This was the stock one. But that comes in the box too.
@@StevesRC ya I just seen they changed the spur size also
i wonder if the kyosho fazer 1/8 bodies can fit this chassis ?🤔
Heh, if they release one of these as a nitro I'm all over it. I friggin love nitro, it's all I run. Looks like a hella fun car but electro just ain't my jam.

nice car, get that man a large Farva!
Smaller hoons confirmed coming soon
Go Brewers,buy one just cause you have brewers coat on. Thanks from Milwaukee.
Greg will love that! Cheers :)

Its all price point driven. Cost of parts, cost of initial ownership, tires, etc. all lower.
Something tells me that the upcoming Maverick 4s on road vehicle is going to be better. It's 4s capable and it has a center diff. I'm not a fan of the slipper clutch. More fun than my Infraction V2 on 6s or my Felony converted to 8s? 🤣🙄

Arrma tough.... Spectrum not so tough.! 😜 👍 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚙 🚗 🚓 🚐
ESC's are fine, but the servos in my typhon, big rock and infraction all died within a month
But arent the hoons 17mm hexes and this have 14mm hexes?
Yes, but he was speaking of new tires coming soon :)
It reminds me of the vulcan
Awesome! British designed car, Arrma British?!
Arrma is and has always been designed in the UK. It is now owned by Horizon Hobby out of the USA. Design continues in the UK.
Great stuff, thought so 🇬🇧🇺🇸! Now I can also figure out the connection between Arrma and TLR with the Typhon TLR👍
LETS GO MEGA I
Hurry up and buy
Go brewers!
At the fields?
Yep
😉👍💯
Arrma have discontinued this ...no way !!!
That purple tho..

It brakes really straight with AVC on well that's a shocker. Why don't you try driving the car and see what it's and not have the gyro drive for you.
Nah it’s way more fun without having to work to keep it straight. Just like I don’t think id own non power steering in my car or non power windows. ;)

Super weird left/right audio
Sorry, yea It was two mics, and I should have combined the audio..
Man here in Germany its literally 480€ or 558 us dollars😐
That darn conversion rate :(
The vendetta looks cool. It’s good for kids for Xmas. But that infraction is just …. Disappointing. It’s like a fisher price infraction
Just got one, she's so fast the tire came unglued and got messed up..the 14mm hex wheels needs to go away imo
I always make sure to crank em down before I run. Can also put a small dab of blue thread lock on them as well
They are not belted rip
i have to stick with my felony, infraction and limitless. its an ice car but I am all about speed and Im not a fan of all plastic cars.
To each their own! It’s a great option for lower budgets!
The 6s hoones are 17 mm hex they won't fit on them new cars
