If you want to kick your hobby off with a bang, this is probably your best bet!
Agressive styling and great tires make sure you look good doing it, too. This is a proper RC-car that excites the whole family.

ARRMA put in the work to make the maintenance easy and fun. The different parts of the transmission come right off by unscrewing just a couple of screws making maintenance even easier than before. Even if you're not familiar with the ARRMA 4x4 cars are so easy to maintain that you'll have no trouble working on them. ARRMA has also made plenty of videos to help you with that.

The car comes with great electronics that'll get you started just right. The new Spektrum DX3 with along with a receiver with gyro from the factory you get is one of the best RTR radios. It's reliable, fast, offers good range and is adjustable. It has all the necessary adjustments and perhaps the best feature of all, power adjustment. This means you can limit the power output which will help you as you're getting used to the car. The power can be tuned all the way down so that the youngest in the family can join in on the fun. With the proportional power adjustment you can get the car to move at walking speed and it's made so that young kids shouldn't be able to adjust it themselves. The steering servo is the waterproof metal geared Spektrum S651 which is more durable and capable than the one of the previous model. This servo has the power to turn the wheels and does it fast enough.
The ARRMA Vorteks 4x4 BLX itself is ready for action but you'll need a battery, charger and 4 AA batteries for the transmitter.
For the battery you should go for a standard sized 2S or 3S battery but taller batteries will work too. Our recommendation would be a 5000mAh battery which will give you a good 15-20 minutes of runtime without limiting the power. If you limit the power the runtime increases. The car comes with an EC5 connector so you should use a battery with an EC5 connector. You can also use an adapter but remember that you may lose a bit of performance and runtime. You can also use NiMH batteries but they won't unleash the full potential of the powerful BLX system. We recommend you get the LiPOs, but NiMHs aren't a bad way to start either.
The electronics are the Spektrum FIRMA 100A Smart ESC and the Spektrum 3200kV motor. The ESC is reliable, waterproof, adjustable and easy to use. It uses an IC5 connector that can be used with IC5 and EC5 connectors. The ESC has a LiPo-cutoff and a NiMH setting. The motor is powerful and reliable, you wont run out of performance. The motor also comes with a heatsink and a fan for cooling. The motor has a 5mm shaft and the option to use SafeD pinions that further improve the overall reliability of the car.
New exterior features in the 1/10th scale fleet from ARRMA the Vorteks 4X4 BLX offers are the little hard plastic pieces on the roof designed to take the hits for the body, and the all-new wheels.
A big plus are the standard sized electronics as well as the battery tray that accepts all standard sized batteries. This makes the availability for aftermarket parts generally really good.
