Designed for both beginners and hobbyists, it offers a stable, agile ride with upgrade paths to brushless power, making it the ultimate entry-level stadium truck for outdoor racing and bashing. ## Description ARRMA VORTEKS MEGA 550 2WD Stadium Truck RTR OverviewJoin the stadium truck racing fun with a ready-to-run basher built the way only ARRMA makes them β€” the VORTEKS MEGA 550 2WD. It's super tough, easy to handle, and fast enough straight out of the box to thrill first-time RC hobbyists and experienced drivers alike. The ARRMA VORTEKS 2WD is the most affordable hobby-quality 1/10 scale stadium truck available. And it's easy to upgrade with LiPo batteries and brushless motors whenever you're ready to take it to the next level.The VORTEKS delivers more refined performance than any previous ARRMA 2WD vehicle, with the perfect combination of stability and agility. Its wide stance contributes to confidence-boosting control at any speed while racing in your backyard or at your local park. New drivers can take advantage of the easy handling to learn lines and precision driving techniques. Low and sporty, the VORTEKS 2WD lets you carve through the turns without slowing down. The specialized tread design of the all-new dBoots Dirtrunner ST front tires makes it easy to jump and corner on rough surfaces.If you're brand new to RC, the included Spektrum SLT2 2-channel radio helps you safely learn control skills by limiting maximum speed to 50% or 75% until you're ready to unleash it all. Blast through wet conditions without worry β€” the Spektrum 2-in-1 40A ESC/receiver unit and high-torque Spektrum S660 steering servo are both waterproof (see the VORTEKS instruction manual for details).Proven ARRMA engineering gives the composite chassis the durability for bashing over punishing surfaces. The independent suspension, oil-filled shocks, and adjustable ride height combine to provide a smooth ride over uneven terrain. For unstoppable traction, the stadium truck's metal gear differential moves power from the installed MEGA 550 motor to the all-terrain rear tires Review: Really cool RC car, built sturdy, lots of fun - After spending a ton of time researching and trying to make sure I got a quality RC car, I ended up going with this. It's worth the extra $50-60 you'd spend over cheaper cars. Look up this car on youtube and you'll see several pro RC hobbyists giving more in depth reviews. For the price you really can't beat it in terms of durability and play. It's not the fastest RC, but it's great for anyone new to the hobby. It was fast enough to control, but not so fast I was constantly smashing into things. I asked my son what he thought about upgrading it (better battery and parts) and he said it was fine just how it is. That's a win as far as I'm concerned. There are upgrades you can get for it, and I do want to get a second battery. The battery seems to last fine on the lowest speed setting, but it has died quickly each time I switched it to the full speed setting. It's fun and gets us outside to play for a good 30min. at least before we have to pick up and go recharge. Well worth it in my opinion. Review: Great starter RC, especially for kids, very durable and upgradeable - This is a fantastic way to get yourself or your kids into hobby-grade RC vehicles. This is not a toy-type RC that cannot be repaired once it's been damaged in a crash. That said, this truck is incredibly durable. The included batters leave a bit to be desired, but it is a non-lipo and it's free. I'd say for a kid's first RC it's plenty sufficient though. Another good thing about this RC is it's upgradeable to a degree. First upgrade path is to use a 2s Lipo. That performance boost will be quite noticeable and very welcome to the under who wants to go a bit faster. Beyond that, for the avid tinkerer, you can replace the power system and radio fairly easily to get the truck to "brushless" which would allow the use of a 2s to 3s lipo for even more power. If that's your end goal though, you'd honestly be better off just starting with the 223s version with AWD. The upgrade path from this truck to brushless costs nearly the same as just buying the 223s outright. ## Features - Completely ready-to-run β€” no other purchases required - Heavy-duty brushless-ready transmission - Easy-access bottom-loading battery tray - Hidden body retention system - Easy to upgrade and customize ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DF869LB2 | | Additional Features | Adjustable, Portable | | Age Range Description | 14+ | | Are Batteries Required | Yes | | Batteries are Included | Yes | | Battery Description | Nickel-Metal Hydride | | Best Sellers Rank | #422,316 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #965 in Hobby RC Trucks | | Brand Name | ARRMA | | Color | Purple | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 45 Reviews | | Educational Objective | To teach users about remote control vehicle operation, handling, and basic engineering principles | | Included Components | (1) ARRMA Mega 550 14T Brushed Motor and (1) Spektrum S660 Servo, (1) Spektrum 8.4V 3300mAh 7-cell Hump Smart Battery: IC3 and (1) Spektrum S120 USB-C Smart Charger, (1) Spektrum SLT 2-in-1 40A ESC & Receiver and (1) Spektrum SLT2 2.4GHz Transmitter, (1) VORTEKS MEGA 550 2WD Stadium Truck RTR and (1) Instruction Manual, (4) β€œAA” Batteries and Miscellaneous molded tools | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 20.6 x 14.9 x 7.9 inches | | Item Type Name | RC Truck | | Item Weight | 2.78 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Arrma | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 1500.0 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 168.0 | | Manufacturer Part Number | ARA3205ST2 | | Material Type | Metal, Plastic | | Maximum Speed | 20 Miles per Hour | | Model Name | ARRMA RC Truck 1/10 VORTEKS 2wd STADIUM TRUCK RTR WITH SMART BATTERY & CHARGER | | Model Number | ARA3205ST2 | | Model Year | 2024 | | Number of Batteries | 4 AA batteries required.
