ARRMA 1/7 Fireteam 6s 4WD BLX

Looks right up my street!

Not my thing and seems a bit gimmicky.

 

 

 

Just came on here to post this, look a beast!

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.

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!  

Not my cup of tea and the price will be way to much.

70/30 on this for me

 

70 for liking it, and 30 for not  

All im seeing is a nice cage on a sort of standard chassis.

I liked it until they took the body off, just another truggy/buggy with a cage on top

£699 I Just pre ordered the black one 👍

 

 

You mean you guys actually like the looks of this? 🤮
 

Also rear disk brake = blown front tires and diffs no? 🤷‍♂️

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.

Over on the Arrma forums they're saying that it is essentially a Mojave underneath.

Lol why has it got figures in it? 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.

Looks good I like what Arrma has done but for me once the body’s off it’s pretty much a slightly larger DR8 

What a surprise it's American and the dolls inside are all holding guns..!! Not really a good role model for kids 🤣🤣

The more I look at it the more I don’t like it, boring chassis, with a half arsed attempt at a scale ish body 

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.

Im quite Suprised Horizon just havent “Armma’d” a Super Baja Rey from their sibling Losi?

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!  🙃

You beat me to it. My thoughts exactly!

 

Arrma have made some good looking bits of kit, but this doesn’t do it for me. Next!….
