ARRMA VORTEKS 223S BLX 4X4 Brushless RC Stadium Truck RTR Red ARA4305V4T1

The ARRMA VORTEKS 223S BLX V4 is a fast and durable 1/10 scale brushless stadium truck designed to help drivers progress from manageable 2S performance to exhilarating 3S speed without upgrading the vehicle’s electronics.

With a compatible 2S LiPo battery, the VORTEKS delivers speeds above 35mph for confident learning and everyday bashing. Install a suitable 3S LiPo battery to unlock its full 50+mph potential. Spektrum Dynamic Stability Control and transmitter-operated throttle limiting help drivers maintain control as their speed and experience increase.

The rugged 4WD drivetrain uses front, centre and rear differentials to distribute power across loose dirt, gravel, grass and sealed surfaces. Oil-filled shocks, adjustable suspension links and wide stadium-truck tyres provide stable handling, while the factory-finished red and silver body completes its aggressive ARRMA appearance.
