1/10 VORTEKS 2WD Stadium Truck RTR - Blue

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: From Brushless Beginner to 50+ MPH Pro! If you want to step up to high-speed brushless bashing without the fear of buying "too much truck," the all-new ARRMA Vorteks 223S BLX is the ultimate solution. The team at Hobby Hideaway loves the new "223S" concept because it is designed to grow with your skills right out of the box. Running on a 2S LiPo, it is a highly controllable, 35+ MPH stadium truck. But when you are ready to unleash absolute mayhem, simply drop in a 3S LiPo, and you instantly have a 50+ MPH pro-level basher—no gearing changes or expensive electronic upgrades required!

Advanced DSC Technology & Unmatched Durability What truly sets the Vorteks 223S apart is the inclusion of Spektrum's Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). With four selectable modes, the DSC system automatically corrects your steering input to prevent spinouts on loose dirt or wet pavement, making you look like a driving pro. Underneath the sleek, clipless stadium truck body sits a legendary ARRMA composite chassis, a heavy-duty metal gear differential, and independent suspension that soaks up the biggest jumps. Powered by a Spektrum 3100Kv brushless motor and a waterproof 80A 2-in-1 ESC/Receiver, this 4x4 beast is built to launch off BMX ramps and carve through grass without breaking a sweat.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• 223S Brushless Power: The waterproof Spektrum SLT 80A 2-in-1 ESC and 3100Kv brushless motor are fully compatible with both 2S and 3S LiPo batteries right out of the box.

• Dynamic Stability Control (DSC): Built-in steering assistance with four adjustable modes helps keep the truck planted and stable on low-grip surfaces.

• Clipless Body System: The low-profile stadium truck body snaps securely into place using a hidden retention system, preserving its aggressive look while making battery swaps incredibly fast.

• Legendary ARRMA Toughness: Features a ventilated composite chassis, raised dirt defenders, and all-metal gear differentials to handle intense off-road impacts.

• High-Traction Grip: Equipped with durable multi-spoke wheels and all-terrain dBoots tires that provide massive forward bite on dirt, gravel, and asphalt.

• Spektrum SLT3 Radio System: The included 3-channel 2.4GHz transmitter features a built-in throttle limiting switch (50%, 75%, 100%) for ultra-precise speed control.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: Don't be afraid to take advantage of the tech built into this truck! If you are driving on a super loose surface like gravel or dusty dirt, turn the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) up on your transmitter. It acts like an invisible co-pilot, making tiny steering corrections to prevent the rear end from washing out, allowing you to stay on the throttle much harder through the corners. Once you hit the high-grip asphalt, turn the DSC down and let those dBoots tires do the work!

Note: This is a Ready-To-Run (RTR) vehicle that includes the fully assembled truck and Spektrum SLT3 transmitter. However, it requires a compatible battery (2S or 3S LiPo with an IC5 or EC5 connector) and a compatible LiPo charger, which are sold separately. You will also need four (4) AA batteries for the radio to complete the setup!
