    Here's the sales pitch

    From ARRMA RC:

    Designed to take you from the back yard to the beach, from the local parking lot to the grass fields, the FAZON And GRANITE VOLTAGE MEGA SRS Off Road Speed Trucks are ready for everything, straight from the box.

    Designed to be fast, designed to be tough, the FAZON And GRANITE VOLTAGE MEGA SRS are primed to blast across any terrain. Ready-to-Run and ready for action.

     

    The bashing optimized suspension and geometry design means the FAZON And GRANITE VOLTAGE MEGA SRS are fun and easy to drive on any surface.

    Your RC action will never be the same again. Power-up the FAZON And GRANITE VOLTAGE MEGA SRS and get ready to blast beyond the limits and learn new RC skills.

     

    The MEGA SRS powered FAZON And GRANITE VOLTAGE provide adrenaline pumping RC action, no matter what the conditions.

    Head turning looks. The FAZON And GRANITE VOLTAGE MEGA SRS look even better up-close and personal with great attention to detail on the decal and body aesthetics.

    ARRMA-RTR-Fazon-Granite-Voltage-Trucks-2

    The FAZON And GRANITE VOLTAGE MEGA SRS are feature packed. They come built with a metal-geared differential, tough multi-spoke wheels, double wishbone suspension and adjustable ride height suspension.

    The wide and low vehicle stance of the FAZON And GRANITE VOLTAGE MEGA SRS provide stability and awesome handling, allowing you to concentrate on attacking the terrain with Off Road Speed Trucks that drive as good as they look.

     

    Metal dogbone driveshafts are super-tough whilst multi-terrain dBoots Dirtrunner 2 tires provide grip.

    Soaking-up a wide range of surfaces is made easy with the included coil-over oil shocks. Factory set to handle everything from speed runs to snow and mud chucking, no matter where you choose to bash, these high-quality units will keep you stable and in-control.

    Mid motor chassis design. The ARRMA 20T 540 brushed motor sits within the chassis, protecting it from dirt, water and heavy rear-end impacts.

    Split-line monocoque-style composite chassis makes up the backbone of the VOLTAGE models. Shock towers, battery compartment, motor mount and gearbox are all integrated into the chassis moulding.

    ARRMA Voltage MEGA SRS cars include oil-filled shock absorbers as standard. The springs are loaded from the top of the shocks, making it almost impossible for springs to be lost.

    These differentials are TOUGH. The main differential gears have been super-sized with large pitch gears that have been designed to withstand huge torques, allowing lightweight composite material to be used for reduced rotating mass without compromising strength. The differential internals feature full-metal straight-cut gears, ensuring trouble-free operation.

    ARRMA MEGA SRS 3-in-1 Unit combines the ESC, receiver and electronic control element of the servo. It features three different battery modes that are user selectable by positioning a jump connector.

    An industry standard 3-wire servo can be plugged into the MEGA SRS 3-in-1 Unit.

    ARRMA-RTR-Fazon-Granite-Voltage-Trucks-5

    The power system features a 20T 540 size brushed motor.

    All new transmission design features wide, moulded composite gears that offer massive strength and durability. Power is transferred to the driveshafts through a gear differential with all-metal internal gears. The transmission features ball bearings throughout for smooth and efficient operation.

    ARRMA ATX101 2.4GHz Transmitter has been designed with ergonomics that are suitable for a wide range of hand sizes. It is beautifully balanced and comfortable to use.

    ARRMA-RTR-Fazon-Granite-Voltage-Trucks-6

    The ARRMA ADS-5 SRS servo is compatable with the SRS 3-in-1 Unit. It generates 70 oz-in (5kg-cm) of torque and has a 60 degree transit time of 0.12s at 6V.

    ARRMA-RTR-Fazon-Granite-Voltage-Trucks-7

    ARRMA ADC-ION2 Two-cell Li-Ion charger and two ARRMA 1500mAh 18650 Li-Ion batteries are included with the VOLTAGE kit.

    Maximize your run-time. The ARRMA Voltage models get you shredding with two lithium-ion batteries included. Add an extra two or four ARRMA lithium-ion 18650 cells to double or triple your run-time.

    ARRMA-RTR-Fazon-Granite-Voltage-Trucks-1

    Choose Li-Ion, NiMh or LiPo batteries to power your model. The ARRMA Voltage has multi battery chemistry compatibility that allows you to run 2,4 or 6 ARRMA Li-Ion batteries, or hobby standard 6-cell NiMh or 2S LiPo battery packs.

    Included in the box you will find a complete ARRMA FAZON or GRANITE VOLTAGE model, ATX101 2.4GHz transmitter, two ARRMA lithium-ion 18650 batteries and a two-cell lithium-ion charger. All that is required to get going are four ‘AA’ batteries to power the transmitter.

    ARRMA-RTR-Fazon-Granite-Voltage-Trucks-1

    A high-quality 2.4Ghz radio transmitter and receiver, wheels and high-performance dBoots tires, waterproof ESC and steering servo and a pre-painted bodyshell are all included as standard.

    The battery concept, 1500mah AA sized Lithium Ion cells that plug into a cartridge wired in series, use just two of the cells give for nine min run times, or use all six for half hour run time, that cartridge is removable and the tray will accept most 2s packs

    Not certain I like the multiple LiPo battery idea, or is this aimed at people smoking electronic cigarettes?  !!

    And................ still no parts support. No way I am buying another RC unless I know someone will be stocking parts for more than a few seconds. Broke my diff on the Granite and it was a 7 week wait for bits from Amercia and customs charge just for good measure. Needed a wheelie bar when I put a more powerful motor in and again same.

    Not sold on these.  Plastic gears, novelty battery arrangement (will just confuse newbies, who'll then waste ££ before realising they should have gone 2s lipo from the off). The rest of it shouts budget rig and everyone should know my views on hobbico by now.

     

    Lets not forget the 2-1 ESC / rx - an item that has no place outside a micro.

    Sorry, I'll re-phrase.

    I'm not sure how it's any better from the Granite lol :P

    Bloody daft idea if you ask me.

    They need to focus less on stupid gimmicks and more on parts support for UK customers IMO.

    You know, I quite like the design of the chassis, looks a little Tamiya (not in a bad way either!) but then ruin it with the aa battery pack thing and the esc/rx just toy grade really....

     

    ill keep eek my eyes peeled on eBay for a used roller down the line, not a new purchase for sure.....
