ARRMA, part of the Horizon Hobby family, has taken its 4X4 3S BLX speed bashing platform to the next level with the VORTEKS Stadium Truck. This is one of the fastest and most advanced 1/10 scale 4X4 vehicle in market, and it’s engineered to deliver astonishing speed, control and durability.
With the installed, 2S or 3S compatible Spektrum Firma 3200Kv brushless motor, this stadium truck is super fast right out of the box. Using a 3S LiPo battery and an optional pinion gear, it easily becomes the first ARRMA 4X4 3S BLX model capable of over 70 KM/h.
The proven tough ARRMA 4X4 platform lets you bash at high speeds in almost any environment — off-road, on dirt and grass, on parking lots and over paved and asphalt surfaces. Its durability comes from a strong composite chassis featuring extended height dirt defenders, oil-filled shocks with silicone O-rings, metal geared differentials and more.
Rugged bumpers and high-traction dBoots Katar tires mounted on tough, gun-metal colored wheels add to its unstoppable performance.
With the AVC system’s on-demand traction control, you can dial-in extra stability as needed to carve corners or nail jumps without backing off the power. You have full-throttle freedom over rough terrain, slick surfaces and loose dirt. When you don’t want the extra traction, just dial back the stability.
The DX3 radio’s AVC system works behind the scenes, making hundreds of minute steering and throttle adjustments per second to keep the VORTEKS Stadium Truck precisely on the line you want to hold.
Download the optional Spektrum Dashboard app to your mobile device — it’s available free from the iPhone App Store and Google Play — to take full advantage of the Smart electronics’ telemetry capabilities. Once you connect your mobile device wirelessly via Bluetooth to the VORTEKS™ Stadium Truck’s DX3 transmitter, you can use it to view top speed, battery voltage and other essential data in real time (requires an optional BT2000 Bluetooth Module, available separately).

Until it breaks 3 packs in, not saying is a bad truck at all but there are a lot of misconception about it, it’s a cheap basher composed of low end composite plastics while it is light, it’s not the most durable, chassis design with a lot of flex I should know I snapped the chassis 2 days in because it does not come standard with chassis center brace, so I didn’t give up there iss purchased a new chassis and swapped everything over, it worked great for 2 more packs then the esc AND the servo both burnt up I replaced those and got a steel geared servo and a 130a spektrum esc and they both work fantastic until the steering knuckle cracked, im not very rough on it it’s my pavement princesses because the steering locks up with loose gravel, so there are a lot of issues and I run the stock pinion gear because it’s plenty fast out the box at 50mph but only if you can afford to keep it on the road
