Another Thursday bombshell.

Think it's LWB or SWB

Wonder if Traxxas will sue for using the pink and purple colored body shell, after all they invented it with the Rustler 4x4!

 

[arrmadillo]

Didn't realize there was another thread on this. Anyway, pretty cool lil truck. Not really digging the body but the rims are on point.

No problem, just joking with ya. Yeah, looks like a cool little truck.

 

[banjoted]

This looks pretty tasty, I shall confess.

 

[FlipSide]

Cool I was waiting for this one!

They are listed at 380$ on the Arrma website. 60$ more than the other 3S seems a bit much to me. I think this price is only justified by the AVC-compatible Tx and Rx?

I can't wait to see it in action.

Let's hope these graphics are not a sign of things to come for Arrma. The only model with 3 color options...all loud and fugly. A low-key option would have been nice. I foresee the clear shells selling out quick!

I wonder how many motors they destroyed driving those trucks for the video in that gravel without dust covers!
New dedicated page on the Arrma website:

I don't know much about these rigs but wonder how much they will cut into the current 3S rigs. Reminds me of the Hoss vs Maxx.

Yeah, I prefer a single/flat colour finish for sure.

$379.99 .... ooooffffff .... wonder how much the new 4S lines are going to be.

 

[arrmadillo]

I don't get the logic behind this release, it's a 3S truck.

SWB

I agree with all of the comments about the graphics. Not only are they busy, the color combinations are bad as well. I think you're right that the clear shells will be a hot commodity, and I think that V2 will hopefully see updated, subdued body graphics. (Or they stick with this disaster to keep selling clear shells )

I feel the same. Unless I’m overlooking some key feature, it’s just an ugly, more expensive granite.

I wonder why the site only shows compatibility with vorteks plus the 4S line. It doesn’t list any other 3S cars.

 

[WoodiE]

The Arrma Vorteks is making a come back!!
