BIG GRIP is all the Vorteks Needed!
Ойын-сауық
Some decent tyres (that don't feel like they're made out of a combination of plastic and blind-faith) have TOTALLY transformed this truck!
The Arrma Vorteks 3s BLX was an unruly beast, to say the least (ha!), but now it has the sort of control needed to match the speed.
I love Pro-Line Trenchers!
FYI... I've dropped 3 teeth on the pinion, down to 15.

Bought the same truck. For those that don't catch it in the video. These tires are Pro-line trenchers in 2.8 size. Pee-glued about $80us
Good Lord that's beautiful territory!

It is! Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for. At this moment, the Vorteks means nothing to me. I definitely want that to change.
Sounds like the tyres were rubbing on the shell at times. My Granite makes the same sound when the tyres balloon along with hard cornering. But the difference in grip was impressive with those Prolines 👌

They were. I'll source some hex extenders when I get back home. Agreed, the Pro-lines are amazing!
Sounds like the slipper clutch slips now and then. Probably due to the heavier tires. How much heavier are they compared to the stocks?

Hey there. Are you sure you're not just hearing the body rub? Not saying you're wrong, but I never picked that up. They are a lot heavier. I don't have the numbers, but they feel at least 50% - 75% heavier.
How many teeth did you go down in the end? Never seen you with a temp gun in videos but the blx motors can get quite warm

I feel someone needs to read the video description! Or this comment. 3. It was 3 teeth.
I'm definitely getting a set for my Rival MT10, stock tyres are crap. I have a set of Proline Badlands on my Outlaw and they're epic so its a no brainer.

@@TheRCScotsman thanks a lot Mike, those are 1 of 2 Proline options i was looking at. Just want to be mindful of their size as to not over gear it if they are bigger than stock tyres. Nice one mate 👌

Looks good , i have just bought the vorteks How much did you pay for 4 wheels and tyres?

Unfortunately, it's rather expensive. Once you get the set of four, plus the hex adapters, you're probably around £80.

Does the size difference make the motor overheat faster?
@TheRCScotsman

It will, but I geared the truck down. If you go up wheel size, you have to go down pinion size.

Did you keep in the stock pinion?
I enjoy the stock tires on asphalt and sidewalk where they do pretty good but definitely going to upgrade too badlands 👍😊
Diameter of the tires is the big difference, NOT actual traction! Throttle control will give the same results.
Truck is way faster on stock wheels.
if u could not whellie on the vortex 3s there is a problem with your driving i got a vortex with the senton 3s system in it and i cant run it on 100% becus it wont stay grounded and it will whilly easy on the 75 % setting so it had to be you 100% not giving it any power

Agreed, on pavement at least. On the street my stock vorteks will live on the back tires if I’m not easy on the throttle. In grass or dirt, I agree that it lacks some traction
