I went with Purple myself, and looks simply sexy. Bought my Vortex today! after watching video, now having regrets on 14mm hex wheels, wish I had bought 17mm hex adapters, so could use the bigger wheels I have for Typhon 3S.

Condolences to you and your family mate. I lost my Dad in September last year so I know how you feel. The fact you went out and did a video like that shows amazing character and strength. Massive respect to you. Great Video and the Pink and Purple Vorteks is by the best colour scheme..

my 1st was Typhon 3S, now we 3 months in, and just bought a Vortex 3S today. I like the 3S series, easy to achieve 4S, and have a BLAST at a track. Local limits racing to 4S, so imo, all I need is 50mph.

First off, even though this is 2 years old, condolences on the loss of your Dad.. You crack me up..."How well it stays on the ground when it lands"..I mean, I get what you're saying, "It handles landings well", but yeah, of course it's gonna stay on the ground when it lands. I'd be worried for ALL our souls the day things DON'T stay on the ground when they land! lol ;) weird how the body was tweaked, then that screw fell out...wonder if that was related? Looks like fun, and I'm liking your video. I'm doin' the research to maybe get one of these. Already have a bunch of Arrma stuff, and a Spektrum DX5 pro to bind them too, plus all the batteries already. OR ...one of those 3s Traxxas 1/10th jobbies, but that's a lot more loot, plus I'd need batteries and a charger! ugh... Funny how I find myself leaning backwards in my chair as I watch you do flips. That's a drag about the wheel..odd 14 mm hex's too. The bluetooth thing that goes in the radio, and uses an app on your smarty pants phone is pretty sweet, will also tel you temps. Have that on my Infraction 3S

Great video on an excellent rc! Really nice to have you back bud. Take care

Sorry to hear about your dad. My condolences to you and your family.

Your videos sold me on rejoining the hobby after 20+ years. You seem to have so much joy when driving it reminded me of the fun I used to have in the old days and I wanted to play too. I kinda wanted to go e-revo 2.0 after watching those videos of yours but it seems to be a little more advanced. I figured this Vorteks is so durable that it would make for a smart first choice since coming back into the game. :) Maybe get the e-revo 2.0 once I've got more driving experience again. :) Thanks for the videos.

Great vid. Thanks man! I picked one up for my wife! Bought a metal spur gear and a reduced pinion right off the bat. She isn’t a basher; so she will be happy. Both the girls in my life join me! It’s a a lot of fun. NOTE: if anyone upgrades to a metal spur-you’ll need another pack of slipper disks- you need four disks in total for the metal spur. The plastic only has three. Have fun all. The driveshaft won’t be a problem. Tougher than it looks.

Thanks for the excellent video- I’m also digging the pink/purple scheme!!! And I’m glad your doing well.

Sorry about your Dad, that's a big loss in life. I had a Pink and Purple striped Ford Ranger for years and loved it. When I traded it in they took the splashes off but didn't buff the truck. I always saw it around sound with the deep black where the stripes had been. She was a pretty truck, I always loved it.

Great video bro. Sorry for your loss! Rc is a great way to take your mind off these things’.

Got my purple one last week. N sorry about your dad. My condolences 🙏🏽

That is an awesome rc. Might need 2, the misses will definitely want one too.

I am waiting for my purple Vortexs, nice open box and run video 👍🏼

I had to bind mine first too but also the rear diff on mine needed repairs before I could even properly drive it. All my 3 Arrma cars had some kind of quality issues out of the box that needed addressing, but I still love them.

Got mine on 30 April and i love it... super fast, super controlled in the air, the control remove was amazing, the avc is better then TSM and finally i find a better 1/10 then Rustler. Maybe the best 1/10 Truggy out of the box. Im glad you got it 😁😁😁

I agree, that is a good looking color combination.

Bought 2 today, went for Slipper Clutch assembly for Typhon 3S, and left with new Vortex. looked cool, and Wife agreed.

The Arrma 3S range is amazing, i've had them for about 1.5 years now, the only ''weak spot'' i would say you might wanna look into upgrading later, is the plastic spur gear, especially with hard bashing it wears quite quickly, i havent broken anything else on em yet! quick tip i have though, the center driveshaft wont ''break'' by driving it, i have seen people getting rocks stuck under it and eating it up, only thing i'd look out for. Also, hope you are doing okay, sorry for your loss. edit: right i also went through 1 rear differential haha!

Gotta say I was surprised to see that first back flip.

Lost a screw on my wing first day out too. Shout out to The Hobby Shop. That place has been holding it down for a while. Other than that I’ve had a blast with this car so far.

nice to see you back mate.

Hope u and your family are doing well,it hits home when I hear someone losing a parent,a pain I know all to well,id like to try some badlands on the vorteks

Great review👏

Sorry for your loss man.

A lot of guys have been having problems with the gears making noise out of the box thinking gear mesh is too tight. Another youtuber found that he was having problems with the spur gear wobbling on the shaft due to a small “cap” loose. He took the slipper clutch assembly from his big rock, put it in the vorteks and the problems went away.

Thank you so much for making this video! I just bought this car yesterday it was working fine and then I factory reset the esc and nothing! Turns out I just needed to rebind my transmitter just like you. Thank you so much!!

That's the color I ordered . I love purple and from all 3 it stands out the most. Aswume vid man!!!

Dude the color looks good. Also that RC car picks up speed faster than my old Nissan truck, lol. Good video by the way.

I just watched Amain Hobby put this truck through it's paces, and it seems like a very good truck. After seeing their review and run test, I too would recommend this truck.

Good to see you back dude

Don't worry, the rocks getting stuck in the steering isn't just an Arrma problem. I've got a few Losi's that happens to as well. Even has happened with my 5ive T. I've never had that issue with any of my Traxxas RCs but it is what it is.

I watched another Vorteks video and he also had a bent rear wheel issue, bending the centre hub plastic. It maybe an issue with the wheel being weak at the centre. Hope that makes sense. Ha. I also just brought one and my mesh sounds dodgy, I will check before I drive it. Thanks for sharing. John

Great Video man. I have a similar issues with the wheel hubs on my Big Rock. Both rear tyres had the hubs lose their shape to the point that the hubs basically collapsed. I replaced them with Granite wheels and I've had the right rear do the same again! I don't bash that hard and really like the stock tyres on my Vorteks and you can't get replacement stock wheels for the Vorteks. Make me think twice about jumping it, yet that's where a lot of the fun is. To be honest I haven't seen this issue much before so I was really interested when it happened to you.

One thing about Arrmas’s Is that the hole under the servo is a pain in the ass if your driving on gravel because every rock will go u deer and get stick in the servo so sometimes you have to take off the servo to get the rocks out.

It is weird only hearing 3 beeps!😂 I only have 6s and 4s Arrma RC cars so it is weird hearing 3 ESC beeps!

the first problem you had with throttle and red blinking light happened to me as well, the truck has the ESC plug in the receiver's AUX slot and the power switch in the throttle slot. This is a mistake from the factory, just switch the two JR plugs in the receiver to the right slots or the problem will presist, it will flash red the next time you try to turn the truck on and it will not move. took me all night to figure it out but now runs like a charm, also thread lock the wheel shafts or the wheels will fly off, no cap! and check the pinon and spur gear for the right mesh.
