Arrma teaser for june 2016

[Unusual RC]

BigSquid RC is talking about the upcoming Arrma 1/10 scale 4WD trucks to be released...
The patent found by @Thomas P is showing the exact actuator as can be seen in the second movie.

My best guess is a sort of AVC system, but then to control the diff lock of both differentials, or maybe 3 diffs?

Very, very interesting.
I would love a 4wd SCT 1/10 (on 2 and 3S) from Arrma

Got a link to big squid talking about 1/10th 4wds?

Exactly! Thanks @MRSRT8

Those folks are very well informed, and have many embargo's to deal with
And that's a hard job.
This looks like a slip of the tongue, or it is done deliberately as part of the Hobbico product launch.
Anyway, we know a little bit more

I certainly believe it's a 4wd, without any "insider knowledge" just looking at the video and seeing the front tires balloon like they are makes me think 4WD.

Thanks right Woodie!
One question still ponder my mind is...the brain (smart technology) Arrma boast about. Beside the smart differential, what else?
[DOUBLEPOST=1463485686][/DOUBLEPOST]If it a 1/10 scale, is must be a new design ESC and brushless motor

Hi

Personally I think that the diff looks similar to what the Traxxas Summit diffs look like. You will more then likely be able to use a 3rd channel to switch between a locked and unlocked diff for doing stuff like rock climbing.

 

[MRSRT8]

4th clue..4 beast modes

[DOUBLEPOST=1463502587][/DOUBLEPOST]By the look of the front tires, most likely its 1:10 scale...
but again, I could be wrong.

Arrma.....Ihatesyou.......
I was just setting my sights for a Kraton...And now you are teasing the hell out of me with something I will probably crave even more.......
Ihatesyou.......Arrma.......

Keep'm comming!...

Of course I'll be on vacation when the full details are actually released!

 

[Unusual RC]

Bigsquid RC already told us it is 1:10 and 4WD.
That last thing is clearly visible in the 3rd video.

The fourth video shows basically 4 modes what this "brain" can do.
And a brain means the car decides something for you, so no 3rd channel.
And all the modes can be influenced by locking or unlocking diffs.

I wonder if it will be only the center diff, which can be locked, or will it have only 2 diffs on each axle? Or will it have 3 diffs, which can be locked individually?

Believe it or not...So am I...

On that date im home receiving a double paycheck for doing nothing all day lol...so propably gonna check it out...
But i don't want a 1/10...to small for me. I want a xmaxx competitor!

I agree

 

[MRSRT8]

Mmm, it has a low gear for climbing.

 

[Dustin Mustangs]

My guess is something that functions similar to how AWD systems (not 4wd) work on full scale vehicles. One of the modes being fully locked and the other three being different ways it decides how to distribute power. Maybe with specific settings for pavement, dirt, and snow/wet.

Do I win a $100 gift card if I'm right?

Don't think so but good try.

 

[Darren Wes]

Other speculation has been said that the new technology maybe more like a torque converter

but all I know is I want it

 

[TpPartsRcXtreme]

The diff design with lock seems to be for front and rear. Have no idea about the centre

I think your close, but because they talk about a "brain" it is not the user who will make these settings, like you can do in a real scale AWD car.
Indeed the "crawler" mode might be limited RPM and all diffs locked.

And when jumping a big wheeled 4x4 it is known that corrections in air are limited by a center differential.
There are dozens of reasons why one would like to have diff lock on an RC
