Very nice video and great driving skills. I like the long continuous clips so it is not just the best landings clipped together.

This video convinced me to order one of these. Simply stating at the start that you broke it twice, then giving good reasoning for the breakages instills a level of trust in your opinion. Thankyou!

Very fond of Arrma myself but Outsourced RC had the same issue with a wheel rim bending. It's sloppy and hopefully Arrma corrects it's before it becomes a problem. The Vorteks bashes so well but Skateparks are RC Death Traps, LOL. Great Video.

Wow... If I ever win a contest, that's the one I want to win... I've been wanting to get a Rival for some time now.

Had mine from around the time this video was made and bought a spare pair of wheels in case this happened to me. It's taken a massive beating at a skate park with 700 oil in it and in woodland areas and I haven't had the wheel issue so far. Snapped a shock rod, but the wheels have been fine! Hopefully this was an early manufacturing thing, but maybe I've just been lucky. I certainly don't think it's a big issue though, which is good news.

I just bought a Vorteks. Ran it yesterday fir the first time at my local track. Ran 6+ packs of hard bashing. Only issue I had was the rear tire axel screw to the hex hub came lose. Lock-tight fixed it up for 4 more packs. Only thing I didn't like was the tires... to hard for soft dirt.

Great looking little rig. I don't think chassis slap on these sort of cars matters as much as the electronics tend not to be bolted directly to the chassis usually servos are up in a mount ESCs in a tray , things like the wltoys 104001 whatever it is make my teeth go on edge when they slap because of things like the servo is laid on its side on the chassis the ESC is just stuck on the chassis everything takes the shock more . Oh and scoobyclinic in chesterfield are experimenting with a Yaris gr for tuning upgrades something I thought you may be interested in. If your local that way that Is I'm not sure where you located.

@TomleyRC

The problem with the chassis slap is it can causes a little internal shock to the electronics, abs over time can kill them.... the motor goes first usually. I banana’d a soft case Lipo in the last run. My GR is staying stock...I need it to be reliable 😅

I had the same issues with duratrax wheels. Hub bent and started to strip out after 2 3s battery packs. Ruined 2 wheels just ripping up and down the street and through some leaves. Had two tumbles but not even from jumping. I will not waste my money on duatrax again.

I like your style of bashing...you genuinely seem like your not going out of your way to kill stuff...I prefer that style of bashing...For example I have a rc group of 10-15 10 year olds. I get at least 4 broken cars every time they bash....hehe...the last time I trashed one pretty badly...i was trying double backflips and landing them all like a noob, mostly on the roof with lots of bad nose or tail landings...just proves you dont need to kill it to have fun and remarkably they are really strong.

I think if you land half a dozen jumps hard... and it survives, then you don’t really need to prove any more that it’s going to take it... and if you mess up a few landings and it survives, then it passes the test!

I looked at the rival before i got the Big rock.wondering if i made the right choice. My Big rock ate the slipper hub ...like that out of the box
