Nick Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Built on the proven 6S BLX platform, the 1/7 scale, ready-to-run FIRETEAM 4WD Speed Assault Vehicle is the first ARRMA vehicle of its kind - with an extra-long wheelbase and wide track for dynamic handling, plus rugged and realistic military styling that reflects the unstoppable toughness of the chassis underneath. It's also the first ARRMA off-road vehicle to include a mechanical handbrake! With one look it's clear that the FIRETEAM 4WD Speed Assault Vehicle has no equal. Out of the box, the multi-panel body comes factory-finished in your choice of matte black or matte white camouflage colour schemes. A full roll cage adds to the military-style looks and toughness. The detailed interior carries a four-man FIRETEAM crew. It all rides on a special wheel and tyre package, featuring multi-terrain dBoots FIRETEAM tyres for high traction and smooth travel over rough off-road tracks. A factory-installed Spektrum 6S brushless power system enables the FIRETEAM 4WD Speed Assault Vehicle to perform huge jumps at 60+ mph speeds over brutal terrain. The extra-long wheelbase and wide-track suspension, along with adjustable, aluminium-bodied, oil-filled shocks, keep you confidently in control. From the bumpers and skid plates to the heavy-duty metal drivetrain, the characteristically rugged ARRMA design lets you fearlessly tackle almost any obstacle blocking the FIRETEAM crew from its mission. A mechanical handbrake, operated from the supplied Spektrum SLT3 transmitter's third-channel thumb switch, adds an extra dimension to the FIRETEAM driving experience. It's a first for an ARRMA off-road vehicle and allows the vehicle to perform evasive maneuvers and initiate drifts and handbrake turns. The ultra-capable FIRETEAM 4WD Speed Assault Vehicle may well be the most impressively tough vehicle yet in the ARRMA 6S BLX lineup. Assembled, finished, and complete with high-quality Spektrum radio and power systems, it requires only your choice of LiPo battery and charger before speeding its crew to the rescue!

RcBEN9 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Almost scared to even think about the price 😁 And a big chunk of that will be for those Spektrum electrics that not many people rate at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H1q Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 That looks fantastic, but it’s a little punchy at c.£700+? At that price, you’re not too far off the Super Rock Rey! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Not my cup of tea and the price will be way to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I liked it until they took the body off, just another truggy/buggy with a cage on top 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross9999992 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 You mean you guys actually like the looks of this? 🤮 Also rear disk brake = blown front tires and diffs no? 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RcBEN9 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Looks quite fun in the YT videos from RcDude & RichDuperbash. That'll be the last time we see them stock though, they'll have $100's of MC2 racing bling on them the next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyboy_uk Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Over on the Arrma forums they're saying that it is essentially a Mojave underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just makes it look toygrade This is always a turn off for me with RC cars. I get it in the true scaler world, but not for a basher. Otherwise it looks great, I'd of liked it with the figures out and panels on the sides - it does look like there is some mounting holes on the roll bar on the sides... so panels could well be a future option? I can't see what other reason they would be there for. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Gash imho and that's coming from someone that likes most of what Arrma have done in the last few years. Too expensive for what it is, rubbish looking fake armed passengers but the biggest thing I dislike is that it's just too similar to most of their truggy off roaders, ....I was hoping for a solid rear axle truck when I first saw the pictures. Something Arrma haven't done. I think Arrma have missed a trick not making this a solid rear axle truck like the Losi Super Rock Rey, Super Baja Rey and similar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just makes it look toygrade I've always wondered if their is some unwritten RC rule, that when it comes to a desert buggies, be it this one, Mojave, UDR, DR8 all those Losi cars, they have to stick little action men dolls in them. They'd never dare put one it in a Kraton/Oucast! 🙃 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrma have made some good looking bits of kit, but this doesn’t do it for me. Next!…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
