Review on ARRMA RC Truck 1/8 KRATON 6S V5 4WD BLX Speed Monster Truck With Spektrum Firma RTR, Red, ARA8608V5T1 by George Marquez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

SLX3 doesn't seem to be an improvement at all.

Spektrum transmitter and receiver is absolute TRASH! I had high hopes for the v5, a lot of people said the issues from v4 were fixed. Well my first hand experience calls BULLSHIT! My car has never been driven and now it's broken.As I'm doing my maiden voyage inspection, particularly when I was making sure my EPAs where set correctly, the steering just starts going all wonky, unresponsive and getting stuck and I now have zero steering at all. Not only that but the throttle is also laggy and sometimes when I give any throttle at all the ESC reboots.Again I must point out that this car is brand new out of the box, never driven one single time. I didn't even get to enjoy it for 1 single second after waiting WEEKS for all the needed components to arrive. I'm using all spektrum gear (charger and 5kmha 100c battery) I'm livid.Take it from me, buy a Traxxas. At least it will work properly out of the box and you can enjoy it for a day or 2 before something breaks. Arrma comes out of the box broken. Arrma has gone down hill since horizon hobby took over. Trying to fix what isn't broken. Just give us the tactical transmitter and receiver back. For the love of God, I miss my slash 4x4 so much RN.

The car is super fast with a 6s lipo in it and i have yet to put the fast gearing into but it still goes around 50mphthe only problem i have with it is that out of the box make sure you go over the screws and tires and make sure they''re all tightened down my tires have rolled off a couple of times so i highly recommend to tighten them down
