The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Ultimate 1/10 Scale Bash-Ready Monster! The Arrma Granite 4x4 is legendary in the RC world for being one of the toughest, most entertaining monster trucks on the market. The Hobby Hideaway Team highly recommends this 1/10 scale beast for anyone looking to step up their backyard bashing game. With its aggressive stance, massive dBoots tires, and incredibly durable composite chassis, the Granite is built to launch off ramps, tear through mud, and survive the wildest driving sessions without breaking a sweat.
Modular Engineering Meets Unstoppable Traction What makes the Granite 4x4 V3 so special is its brilliantly designed modular chassis. Arrma engineers separated the electronics, the transmission, and the differentials into easily removable modules, making routine maintenance and future upgrades faster than ever. Powered by a high-torque MEGA 550 brushed motor and a reliable 4WD drivetrain with tough metal gear differentials, this monster truck digs in and delivers incredible traction whether you are ripping through grass, dirt, or pavement.

Modular Chassis Design: Features easy-access power, electronics, and differential modules that make maintenance incredibly quick and simple.
Tough-as-Nails Drivetrain: Equipped with a full-time 4WD system, durable metal-geared differentials, and sliding gear mesh.
High-Torque Power: Powered by a MEGA 550 12T brushed motor and a 40A ESC, perfectly tuned for punchy acceleration and off-road capability.
Monster Traction: Rolls on tough multi-spoke wheels wrapped in aggressive dBoots Fortress MT tires for superior all-terrain grip.
Premium Control: Includes a Spektrum SLT3 2.4GHz transmitter for precise, interference-free driving, even when bashing with friends.
Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: The Granite's modular power assembly makes pulling the motor incredibly easy, but don't forget to pay attention to your slipper clutch! Because the massive monster truck tires create a ton of traction, a properly adjusted slipper clutch will save your internal drivetrain from snapping during hard landings. If you plan on hitting massive jumps at the skatepark, loosen the slipper clutch just a tiny bit so it slips for a fraction of a second when you land under power—your gears will thank you!
