Gorgon. I've punished mine. Never broken, except servo saver & servo. Upgraded them. Brushless, 100a ESC, 3500kv can, 2s only. Different tires, blast it.

Arrma Gorgon - Tractor Tires - Brushless - Sway Bar

My Arrma Gorgon - Tractor Tires - Brushless conversion. I cut the stock body into a truck body. It's been vinyl wrapped. The rollbars are Infraction 3s type. The center hoop from side to side is Delrin tubing. I heated & bent it with a small tubing bender. The cab bulkhead is made from 1/16" ABS...

Everybody’s good at somethin! I just figure they gotta be a hoot to wheel, and crazy cheap to maintain.

It reminds me of the Blackfoot a lot actually. So fun!!!
Mine is 2s, lipo is only mod. It runs like you would expect a FS monster truck to run IMO. Its a blast to do tricks with!

Nothing broken yet.

The brushed motor and 2in1 esc will blow up soon I'm sure... These trucks are so cheap, who cares?
A cheap HW set up and this truck will run forever as far as I can see.

They even sell them as kits so you could bypass the rtr gear.
You need a pair for Psychopants RC for sure!!!

Same, for such a simple beast, it's a heck of a lot of fun!

That's arguably the coolest Gorgon out there.

Ran the Vendetta:

While I was running the car it randomly stopped steering and turned right into a pole. As usual the car is fine but the 3D printed front splitters took a hit:

Car didn’t get too dirty:

Body damage:

Also started using this Voltage checker to check volts (duh)

Yep, that’s the Vendetta run for today

Cool, I have a Vendetta myself i last ran mine a few months ago after i got the cutout\brownout esc issues fixed and got it a new Spektrum SR6200A avc receiver for it to run with my DX6C. It's been an awesome car it's a shame Horizon discontinued this car and hasn't brought it back as a 223s model although that have been a bad idea since those 2 in 1 combos aren't the greatest.

 

[Doom!]

@luke66 Yep, that there splitter, done went and splitted real good like.

I have the old version of this truck the Hoss but i'm currently in the process of selling mine to help fund my new radio.

 

[Ramp addict]

My truck and my Daughter's Tekno are loaded up. I'll pick up my son on route and go anywhere they want. I've been looking forward to driving with them all week.
