The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Monster Truck Attitude in a Backpack-Sized Package! Arrma took the massive popularity of their 1/10 scale Gorgon monster truck and shrunk it down into an incredibly capable, go-anywhere 1/16 scale basher. The Hobby Hideaway Team loves the Gorgon Grom because it perfectly captures that classic, high-riding monster truck stance while delivering the unbeatable traction of a 4x4 drivetrain. Whether you are launching off homemade skateboard ramps, tearing through the backyard grass, or bashing in the driveway, this mini monster truck handles it all with Arrma's signature durability.
Tough-As-Nails Monster Truck Engineering Just like its larger siblings, the Gorgon Grom is engineered to survive the abuse of serious bashing. It features a rugged composite chassis, high ground clearance, and an enclosed 4WD drivetrain with metal internal gears to keep dirt, grit, and debris away from the moving parts. The clipless monster truck body not only looks fantastic with its aggressive styling, but it also allows for lightning-fast battery swaps without fussing with tiny body clips. Powered by a MEGA 380 brushed motor and rolling on chunky monster truck tires, this rig is ready to crush the competition right out of the box.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: Because the Gorgon Grom is a true monster truck with a high center of gravity and massive, grippy tires, it loves to grip the pavement hard! If you find yourself "traction rolling" (flipping over sideways) during high-speed turns on asphalt or concrete, try adjusting your driving style. Let off the throttle right before entering the corner to allow the front springs to compress and bite, then smoothly roll back onto the throttle as you exit the turn. It will make your cornering incredibly smooth and keep your truck on all four wheels!
