Overview

Enjoy terrain-commanding Monster Truck excitement with the jaw-dropping power and 50+ MPH brushless performance of the ARRMA® GRANITE™ 4X4 3S BLX Monster Truck. Precision aluminum, tough steel and composite materials come together for an easy-to-maintain, super-durable vehicle design that’s now upgraded for even greater performance and durability.

The GRANITE™ 4X4 3S BLX RTR is DESIGNED FAST, DESIGNED TOUGH — built for exciting bashing speeds and extreme, all-terrain toughness. New features that enhance its unstoppable performance include a stronger chassis and retained hinge pin plates; steering with more clearance for stones; a castellated slipper pad and sliding gear mesh; and rubber-shielded bearings throughout.

It also now includes a Spektrum™ SLT3™ transmitter and SLR300 receiver. The transmitter is ergonomically designed for long periods of fatigue-free bashing and has a foam wheel for precise fingertip control, plus an improved hand grip and trigger feel. New bashers will be able to set throttle limits at 50% or 75% until they are ready to use the full speed potential. The SLT3™ is compatible with Tactic® SLT™ receivers to run other RTR vehicles you may own, and includes a third channel to control optional features such as lights and winches on models that have them.

ARRMA® now powers the GRANITE™ 4X4 3S BLX with a brushless system featuring its BLX100 ESC and the Spektrum™ Firma™ 3200Kv brushless motor. The combination provides incredible torque, acceleration and speed. The transmission and chassis are ruggedly engineered to take full advantage of the electronics’ power.

It has the ingenious modular design perfected by ARRMA® engineers for easy component access and maintenance. The power module, with improved dirt management, consists of the motor with ARRMA® heatsink and cooling fan, plus motor plate, slipper clutch assembly and gear cover. The power module can be detached from the chassis as a complete unit by removing just one screw. With the power module removed, the slipper clutch can be reached easily for adjustments by taking out three screws that attach the gear cover. The gear ratio can be finely tuned as the power module now uses a sliding motor mesh design.

A two-piece molding screwed to the truck’s chassis serves as its electronics module, containing a waterproof receiver box, servo mount and ESC tray. The SLR300 receiver mounts inside the receiver box for protection from dirt and moisture. The ultra-compact ESC is screwed to the top of the module, allowing quick access to the on/off switch, while the servo mounts to the side. All three components can be removed together, quickly and easily.

The differential module houses each differential unit in an innovative yoke design. Only eight screws need to be removed to release the front and rear yokes. The power module can then be detached, allowing you to pivot the gearbox cases for differential access. The GRANITE™ 4X4 3S BLX RTR comes brushless-ready with 37T 1.35mod diffs with silicone O-rings. The large gears can withstand huge torque, and internal metal gears have been chosen for reliability during extreme bashing.

Its full-time 4WD transmission uses strong front, rear, and centerline telescopic driveshafts that can’t be lost during heavy impacts, unlike dogbones. A simple, dependable, responsive steering assembly complements the ultra-reliable drive system and features a servo horn with built-in servo saver. The GRANITE™ 4X4 3S BLX RTR includes the waterproof Spektrum™ SPMS651 metal-geared digital servo for 15% more torque than the previous version’s ADS-7M servo.

The self-bleeding, oil-filled shocks, now with silicone O-rings, use a tried and tested, coil-over design for simple maintenance and amazing handling. Their innovative rod-end has a molded-in spring perch for extra toughness. Extended height dirt defenders and a close-fitting body limit the amount of dirt and debris that can get into the chassis tub. Front and rear bumpers offer defense against impacts.

Four dBoots® Fortress™ MT tires on gunmetal multi-spoke wheels give the GRANITE™ 4X4 3S BLX superb bite on a multitude of surfaces. ARRMA® has also installed a wheelie bar as standard. The aggressively styled truck body looks great while bashing and even better up-close and personal, with great attention to detail on the decal and body aesthetics. Choose green or red trim schemes.

Overview

With the installed, 2S or 3S compatible Spektrum^™ Firma^™ 3200Kv brushless motor, the VORTEKS^™ is fast right out of the box. Using a 3S LiPo battery and an optional pinion gear, it easily becomes the first ARRMA^® 4X4 3S BLX model capable of 60 mph and more!

The proven tough ARRMA^® 4X4 platform lets you bash at high speeds in almost any environment — off-road, on dirt and grass, on parking lots and over paved and asphalt surfaces. Its durability comes from a strong composite chassis featuring extended height dirt defenders, oil-filled shocks with silicone O-rings, metal geared differentials and more. Rugged bumpers and high-traction dBoots^® Katar^™ tires mounted on tough, gun-metal colored wheels add to its unstoppable performance. The VORTEKS^™ 4X4 3S BLX also includes a sleek, new stadium truck body with tough, injection-molded wing and protective roof skids.

ARRMA^® adds the security of advanced Spektrum^™ electronics to the VORTEKS^™ Stadium Truck's speed and toughness to create a totally exhilarating bashing experience. With its included DX3 DSMR^® 2.4GHz radio system, SR6200A receiver and Firma^™ 100A ESC, this is the first ARRMA^® 1/10 scale 4X4 model to provide the benefits of AVC^® (Active Vehicle Control^®) and Smart technology straight out of the box.

With the AVC^® system's on-demand traction control, you can dial-in extra stability as needed to carve corners or nail jumps without backing off the power. You have full-throttle freedom over rough terrain, slick surfaces and loose dirt. When you don't want the extra traction, just dial back the stability. The DX3 radio's AVC^® system works behind the scenes, making hundreds of minute steering and throttle adjustments per second to keep the VORTEKS^™ Stadium Truck precisely on the line you want to hold.

Download the optional Spektrum^™ Dashboard^™ app to your mobile device — it's available free from the iPhone App Store and Google Play — to take full advantage of the Smart electronics' telemetry capabilities. Once you connect your mobile device wirelessly via Bluetooth to the VORTEKS^™ Stadium Truck's DX3 transmitter, you can use it to view top speed, battery voltage and other essential data in real time (requires an optional BT2000 Bluetooth Module, available separately).

The ARRMA^® VORTEKS^™ 4X4 3S BLX Stadium Truck RTR represents the highest level of speed and technology found yet in the proven tough ARRMA^® 4X4 platform. If you're a basher who wants the best — and who appreciates outstanding value — it's all right here.

Overview

The ready-to-run INFRACTION^™ 6S BLX 4WD 1/7 scale truck tops off a tough and powerful ARRMA^® brushless platform with stunning style — ideal for intermediate-level drivers who are eager to experience street bashing at 80+ MPH speeds (achievable in optimum conditions using a 6S LiPo and the included speed pinion gear). Its Spektrum^® DX3^™ radio and Smart brushless power system components provide real-time telemetry that also helps you reach and maintain maximum performance.

Another feature new to the INFRACTION^™ 6S BLX 4WD is a handbrake. The chassis includes a module for a rear vented disc brake and a powerful Spektrum^® SPMS650 brake servo. You control the handbrake from a convenient switch on the DX3^™ transmitter for thrilling drifting, "hooning" and stunt action.

With its 4X4 traction, you can run the INFRACTION^™ 6S BLX 4WD on all roads, in all conditions — over loose gravel, asphalt, smooth dirt, and short grass, in the sun, rain, and ice — while enjoying fresh RESTO MOD looks. The street body arrives factory-finished with new matte gloss effect designs. The included tunable wing lets you customize the downforce just the way you want it.

To further enhance the aerodynamics, the chassis includes a full-width front splitter that balances downforce distribution. A rear diffuser increases downforce and grip, enabling you to corner faster and with confidence. Mounted on realistic 5-spoke wheels, the four dBoots^® Hoons^™ all-road tires keep their grip on the surface to pour on speed or stop on a dime.

Underneath those streamlined Street Bash looks is a chassis which proves to the world, once again, that ARRMA^® builds the most durable bashers. The 6061-T6 anodized aluminum chassis houses a heavy-duty drivetrain with steel driveshafts, plus all-metal diff outdrives and gearbox internals. Updated internal gears feature a new tooth profile for increased strength. A lower internal gear ratio reduces the center line transmission RPM, reducing the center drive shaft resonance and increasing drivetrain durability. Chassis toughness is reinforced with a center brace. Bearings are rubber-shielded, and the adjustable, oil-filled, anodized aluminum shocks are mounted on strong, black-anodized aluminum shock towers.

ARRMA^® has equipped the ready-to-run INFRACTION^™ 6S BLX 4WD with the 3-channel Spektrum^® DX3^™ radio and an SR6110AT receiver featuring AVC^® (Active Vehicle Control^™) technology for high-speed stability. A convenient voltage level indicator is built into the transmitter which lets you easily track on-board Smart battery power. The vehicle's brushless power system also features Spektrum^® Firma^™ Smart components, so it's easy to receive real-time updates of ESC temperature, receiver (BEC) voltage, drive pack voltage and motor RPM. Just download the Spektrum^® Dashboard^™ app for iOS or Android, available for free at the App Store or Google Play.
