ARRMA QUAKE 4S DSC RC Monster Truck 1/8 Brushless 4WD RTR Black/Red ARA4437T1

The ARRMA QUAKE 4S DSC is a 1/8 scale 4WD brushless RC monster truck designed for off-road bashing, wheelies and jumps, combining 3S/4S LiPo power with Spektrum Dynamic Stability Control for more manageable handling. Supplied Ready-To-Run in Black/Red, it features ARRMA's Next Gen 4S platform, a high centre-of-gravity chassis, three-differential drivetrain and simplified maintenance design.

The high-mounted chassis delivers traditional monster truck handling, with noticeable body lean, increased ground clearance and a raised front end under acceleration. Cut chevron tyres provide traction across dirt, grass and gravel, while threaded aluminium shocks and an integrated wheelie bar help manage rough terrain, jumps and landings. A separate Spektrum Firma 150A Smart V2 ESC and 2300Kv brushless motor deliver 3S or 4S performance, supported by active motor cooling.

Spektrum Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) automatically applies steering corrections when oversteer is detected, helping drivers manage slides and maintain directional control. Four selectable DSC modes allow the assistance level to be adjusted, while transmitter throttle limiting makes the QUAKE more approachable for drivers building confidence with brushless RC trucks.

Features

FAQ

What battery does the ARRMA QUAKE 4S DSC use? The ARRMA QUAKE 4S DSC operates with one compatible 3S or 4S hardcase LiPo battery using an IC5 connection. The battery compartment accommodates packs up to 160 x 50 x 70mm. OZRC recommends checking battery dimensions and connector compatibility before purchasing. Softcase LiPo batteries must not be used.

Does the ARRMA QUAKE 4S come with a battery and charger? No. The QUAKE 4S is supplied with the assembled truck, installed electronics, transmitter and AA transmitter batteries. A compatible 3S or 4S hardcase LiPo battery, suitable LiPo charger and LiPo charging safety bag are required separately.

What does Spektrum DSC do on the ARRMA QUAKE 4S? Spektrum Dynamic Stability Control detects vehicle oversteer and automatically applies countersteering to help reduce unwanted spins. The QUAKE 4S provides four selectable DSC modes so drivers can adjust the amount of steering assistance.

Is the ARRMA QUAKE 4S suitable for beginners? The ARRMA QUAKE 4S includes adjustable transmitter throttle limiting and selectable DSC assistance to help less experienced drivers manage the truck. However, it is a large, heavy 1/8 scale brushless model with substantial acceleration. OZRC recommends beginning with reduced throttle output in a spacious, clear driving area.

Important Notes

• Requires one compatible 3S or 4S hardcase LiPo battery, sold separately.
• Softcase LiPo batteries are not suitable for this vehicle.
• Requires a compatible LiPo battery charger and LiPo charging safety bag, sold separately.
• Maximum battery dimensions are 160 x 50 x 70mm. Check the battery's overall dimensions and connector before purchase.
• Although the ESC and steering servo are specified as waterproof, the vehicle should be cleaned and dried after use in wet or muddy conditions to avoid rust and water damage.
• Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for LiPo battery charging, handling, storage and operation.
