New Arrma Quake (Gorgon 223s/BLX)

[CertifiedMike]

But you're optimistic and determined about modern tech

I have high hopes but low expectations.

I bought some new gear... I'm trying.

Why are we talking about tire sauce in a new basher truck announcement thread? Ohhhh because SH brought it up. Like he always does Ok thread derailer.

I know some people don't like or don't care about new stuff. That's all good. You don't have to respond about it or "trashing" it. If you want to rant about it, ok, that's why there's the daily rant thread is there for. Just want to leave certain threads for certain topics. Thanks
If you don't care for something new, all good, but why read and respond to it if you just said if you don't care about it? Just my 2 cents and common sense. Me personally, I like and care for both vintage, mid school, modern RC, tech, whatever. And Ill respond and post on what I care about and want to share.

There can be people viewing the thread in the future, don't want those people or guests to the site have to scroll through 3 or 4 pages just to find a simple question or info.

to be fair, i didn't say anything negative about this truck. i actually thought it was pretty cool for the most part.
the sauce talk was me ribbing you sense you seemed to like it and most of what you seem to do is race oriented and this is a basher monster truck.

Looks like a cool truck to me, just that stupid ESC......

I don't really want a 10th MT but this is making me think.

Nah, I'll just go get a Typhon 6S roller and build a Rally car.

You know I bash, when I can't go to the track, right? Lol. All good.

Hey, I do the same thing! Sometimes I read sh!t that I said that even I can't believe!

Yes, but we mostly overlook the 'Kyosho Rules' nonsense.

I do the same most of the time since my Dad is busy most of the time. But we did get to the track this year where i tested my DX6C on my B74.1 and it worked amazing. And most of my cars and trucks are bashers and street bashers anyways.

I watched DoRC video of the Arrma Quake. Great video. He took it apart & showed the difference from the Gorgon. Then bashed it. It did well. The tires are really good. Then took it back apart & upgraded the diff, spur, drive gear, & the CVDs with metal ones. It did better as stock. The metal upgrades made it heavier & it was lazy. Arrma did well with the setup as stock & the shocks. It didn't want to flip. The tires helped too. My Gorgon just flipped over constantly going brushless until I built the sway bar. Well done, Arrma, & DoRC.

Already posted above but it's a good video

I'm leaning towards the green one when the time comes.

 

[DavidB1126]

That blue and purple one looks dialed
I'll get one
When money and space appears. Probably in my dreams

Have you considered stacking your cars?

If they were stacked, they would take up WAY less room. Then you could get a few MT's even.

(after you get the MT's you can go back to the mess like you have now.)

'A pile for a while'... say it with me... 'a pile for a while'.

You'll have a Quake and a Gorgon in no time!!!

 

[luke66]

If imma get one it's the green all day. Would look good with the Vendetta.

 

[TeknoJ]

There’s a 1/16 quake and gorgon now?

 

[DavidB1126]

Yes based off the grom but both are newish grom platforms both are brushed and 4wd. Kinda a scam uhh i meant overpriced if you ask me.

 

[Suburban_Hooligan]

and the inner wheel bead is bigger than the outer. wtf

I got the red and green but I wish they had as much color as the purple instead of all the grey.

Looks cool, Although i have other things in mind right now and i'm more of a SCT guy so a Fury 223s would suit me well but i hope by now Horizon have fixed the 223s 2 in 1 combos having issues with cutting power due to voltage sag.

They haven't. Doesn't really effect the 2wd rcs so far as I've seen. 2 quakes. Gorgon 223s on the way, and a fury. I got replacement escs from arrma and horizon warrantied for my granite and big rock that were non 223s esc. I want to see 1/8 1/5 quakes/gorgons/furys. Some big ass 2wd would be fun. Fast, durable, and easy to repair.

 

[The Lords Hand]

Watching some videos now
I want one. Or maybe 2 or 3 trucks. Lol.

3 gorgons 2 quakes. Great backyard rcs for the dog to chase. On 3s they jump pretty high and light enough to soak up the landings.
