Bash & Blast Ready 4x4 Monster Truck! ARRMA Big Rock Crew Cab 3S BLX Review | RC Driver

ARRMA has certainly dished out a bunch of amazing radio control car, truck and buggy offerings with their 4x4 platform. They have vehicles in their brushed Mega form and brushless with the BLX. With the BLX badge, it also means it runs on a 3S LiPo battery. Something we’re always excited to see in a 1/10 RTR. But what really got our RC geek side going was they took the 4x4 platform, stretched it, dropped in that BLX power and topped it off with some monster truck wheels and a crew cab truck body. This vehicle is the Big Rock! The name just carries excitement and we have the ready to run kit on hand to check out. Rather than go over the chassis again that we’ve reviewed before, in this video we tell you what makes up the Big Rock, followed by 5 things we really like about the 4x4 platform. Get all the details you need about the ARRMA Big Rock Crew Cab 3S BLX right here in this review!
PRODUCT FEATURED
ARRMA Big Rock 3S BLX Crew Cab
Part Number: ARA102723
Price: $319.99
Link To Buy: snp.link/3c3a99d2
Correction: The wheelbase on the Big Rock is the same as the Senton 4x4. I was thinking of the Granite platform during my comparison discussion.

    I love how you film the truck up and down the ramps, very dynamic and yet stable shots. It's a joy to watch. My big rock esc shut off on me after running the 3S for 6 to 7 minutes. After resetting the power button, it works again. Will contact Arrma to claim ESC replacement. The truck is 6 months old.

I've run it on 2s and its still very nice. I put my 3s 6000mah 80c and its just insane! The only thing Iam gonna do is widen the stance a bit. She tips in a fast hard turn. I also wish they would include a sticker sheet. Well done my friend!

Traxxas was my very first RC years ago and I mean years ago.... but now since they are sponsoring professional race driver's their pricing has priced me away from them.... too bad. Enter Arrma...... Bash away!!!!!! Great video!

    It may be my next and last rc. I like that it doesn't have a wing like the notorious 6s I have. In 42° weather in a roll not even as bad as those and it snapped the wheelie bar and screws by twisting the wing. I put RPMs on it and left the wing off. And also dont like the metal chassis of the 6s or larger, one wrong landing and you'll be either bending the chassis back (if you're lucky enough) or buying a new one along with a new rear diff do to broken teeth, replacing the center diff cup with an aluminum one as yours blew a hole in it. It's either gonna be a the Bigrock or saving up for a Xmaxx as my last one.

    Be honest big rock 3s blx or granite 3s blx?? I am about to pick up and to me it’s quite a it of loot! I was thinking the longer wheelbase should be a lot more stable for speed but a bit harder to flip. Also is it wider in the axles too? It looks wider and it doesn’t seem to be the wheels as the granite seems to have the wider wheels. Any specs on that would be great too

My ruslter 4x4 isn't as loud but my losi tenacity on the other hand is louder lol it's interesting to me that every brand sounds different.

Horizon hobbies was so kind as to replace it with the DX3.As far as I’m concerned they’re both garbage they both glitch they both give me full power when not asking for it it doesn’t turn when you ask it to at a distance. The controller is a piece of crap. Can you suggest a good controller and receiver combo that is very fast and does not glitch.??? Thank you for your time.PS..I’m left handed.

My Dad also helped build some of the buildings there along with volunteered so I know the track personel if they ever do stop by when I'm running. I know what times to go during the summer because I've gone there for so long and usually nobody is there in the winter. If there are riders, they always have the right of way. Usually if I'm doing a video, I'll approach them and let them know I'm filming quickly and will stay out of their way. 98% of the time they're find with it.

    Run a tank or 2 through it running really rich, then once a nitro motor is broken in, it is broken and temp does not matter. However, if the temp is way cold running it a bit to warm it first before ripping on it would be recommended.
