As if making 25 videos in a row wasn’t enough you make even more! 😮. Good job 👏🏻. Looks like a good, tough truck for the price.
No speed runs are valid unless you say 'stop', 'read'. Lol

I have a tracer, bought it this year at famjam. Gotta say this little gem seems some wot better, bit more lively and fun looking. 👍🏻
This is another excellent test and review. The little truggy has some very good potential,
Love your vids Phil! Always exciting for all! 😊❤

Awesome little truck, Phil! Fantastic bashing and review!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 And happy holidays!
Really dropping the vids at the moment Phil loving it cheers
Big up for the tracer mention, totally on vibe 👌 👏
Great video.. not one I'll buy.. brushless tracer or one of the smaller MT range seams a better buy

Looks very cool!
When you swapped that motor out, I could barely hold back from stepping into the video, and slapping a brushless in there instead of another 370. Cheers my friend, Happy Christmas!
Tough little dude, side hits seem to be where I break most of my stuff but this one seem to just keep taking it. Nice run Phil!!
Jealous off the socks❤😝 Nice video, enjoyed it!🙌
Not bad for what it is. Personally, I'm trying to move to all 1/10 scale and reduce the amount of radios with the Dumbo setup. That D90 Defender you had on a couple days back was pretty sweet though.

Dumbo is my go to radio. Definitely better and more range than most, and for $40 with gyro it can't be beat
That's going to be a frustrating thing to own.!
Nice truck " Unique" peppy Thanks again.
Dang phil. Pumping out them videos! Take a day off bud!
Had a similar platform i bought off alibaba years ago that ran off 18650 cells great little basher ironically the longest lasting rig due to the low speed
Pretty good deal for the money but it seems to be lacking in just about everything but the chassis durability. Some nice beefy parts there. With all that chassis slapping, it definitely needs a suspension upgrade. I also think it may need an electronics upgrade in the future so you can see just how durable the chassis is! This thing deserves to go fast! It would be cool to get it to comparable performance of the HBX 16889A Pro and see if you can do it for less $$ (including a servo upgrade). Thanks for the video as always Phil!
Looks a bit like a mini vorteks. Something like the arrma grom anyways great vid al allways👍🏿👍🏿

Nice to see ya givin the ol’finger again.thanks Phil 💯😂🤙…
3:35 "grease in there" now that's an interesting idea. Instead of oil in the shocks to mitigate the springs, just a glob of thick grease. Think about it: the viscosity of the shaft pushing through the grease would provide enough resistance AND it's so thick it wouldn't tend to leak out like oil. Maybe take one of your friction dampers (tamiya) and put a glob of vaseline or ? inside.....hmmm I might try that with one of my minicrawlers......

I’ve done it on my scx24s. A little glob of shock grease in the top of the shock with the tip of a screwdriver and cycle it a few times. Actually made a difference.

@@jasonbecker4997 good to know! I know grease is a lube but it's the viscosity that makes a difference. did you have any issue with seepage?
Was excited to see if it was better than hbi 16889a pro which i bought just a while ago but thankfully seems not to be, pheew! Chassis looks like as tough though!
That takes a real beating 😂
Saw these in my local hobby shop when I went to get myself an arrma Grom.
Body looks like a stretched Hyper-Go/ARRMA Vorteks 😅👍
Cool
the front end looks ever so slightly like an older tesla lol, great content as always, my good sir.

haha, yeah a little bit
put in a brushless motor, dumbo rc receiver and and then get some dual rate and proper steering adjustment, then back to the skate park!
the body would drive me nuts
Well that’s one way to froth ur coffee!!
Not bad, think i would still stick with the tracer because of spares and support.
600th like..lol! nice little truggy! maybe something for my nephew at xmas.
I think a LOT of issues could be solved by proper shocks....that'd solve the body slamming. good durability though, the chassis seemed pretty much perfect after all the abuse....

I have a mini t with a nasty click in reverse and a slight click forward. 25+ runs including standing backflips and mayhem and she has yet to fail . Sometimes them plastic spurs just don’t care
Make it brushless ❤
6:45 -- curious if you know what used to be in the overgrown weed parking lot ? Enjoy your vids always
Hi! Did you get your hands on the new Arrma Mojave Grom? If you review it and its good I will buy one!😊
tougher than i expected it to be.
Do you have a 1/16th erevo and do and 1/16th basher shoot out?
I’m very surprised it has a slipper clutch. Looks like it’s a great candidate for a brushless upgrade
You should upgrade the ftx kanyon with parts or alloy parts and stuff
Boom 🎉

Hi mate, Looks like you're a bit of a watch fanboy like myself. Any chance you could review your collection? as I think it's a cool subject/hobby?? Thanks and keep up the good work. 👍🇬🇧🙂
Ftx tracer is only £79 online sometimes cheaper brushed and £120 for the brushless so I'd say this one in the video isn't really that good for value for money...parts for the ftx are very cheap and available if you do manage to break it
Love the comment "this used to be my favourate piece of waste land" 😂
Are Grom parts interchangeable? Looks like it came out of the same factory.
@TomleyRC

Don't think so.... and yes, it's certainly made in a factory where some of the Arrmas are made ;)

Throw a brushless setup in it some oil shocks and see what it will take lol
dang. it shot it's LED eye out and slowed it down by 1mph.
Upgrade it then add some oil shocks
Think it's time for your love of mini's to go off the deep end,yes yes yes,the traxxas mini e revo
30 bucks more and you got something much more serious like the MJX 14209 : brushless + oil shocks + much higher speed, and better durability apparently
Those shocks look like the crappy shocks that come with the Latrax series of cars from Traxxas
Small kraton? Or copy of mjx210?

apparently you can copy anything by just making it smaller :P Its just a smaller size Arrma Vorteks hahaha
I don't know why anyone would buy this over the hyper go or the tracer/hbx.

Very nice , not as good as the mew4 and thats cheaper.
Should be $50

Seems pretty crappy to me. Review the arrma grom not this junk.
She's a female dog.

I like the body it's beautiful makes it look like a truggy but nothing else. For the price and for a kid is ok, but for bashing it's slow.
