The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Pocket-Sized Bashing Perfection! Arrma has done it again by shrinking their legendary "Tough-As-Nails" basher DNA into a backpack-friendly 1/16 scale package. The Quake Grom is the perfect entry point into the RC hobby or an awesome grab-and-go rig for experienced drivers. The Hobby Hideaway Team loves the Grom lineup because it delivers true hobby-grade 4x4 performance, an enclosed drivetrain, and a hassle-free clipless body system, all without breaking the bank. It is the ultimate backyard, driveway, and skatepark basher!
Hobby-Grade Engineering in a Micro Package Don't let the small size fool you—the Quake Grom is built to take a beating. It features a tough composite chassis, oil-filled coil-over shocks, and a fully enclosed 4WD drivetrain with metal gears that keeps rocks and debris out. Under the clipless body, it is powered by a reliable MEGA 380 brushed motor and a Spektrum 2-in-1 ESC/Receiver. It even comes standard with Spektrum Smart battery technology, making charging incredibly safe and idiot-proof for younger hobbyists.

Clipless Body Mounting: Features a hidden, secure body retention system for a clean scale look and lightning-fast battery swaps.
Enclosed 4WD Drivetrain: A tough, enclosed gear mesh with metal internal gears ensures maximum durability against dirt and debris.
Reliable Power: Equipped with a MEGA 380 brushed motor for a perfect balance of punchy acceleration and manageable top speed.
Spektrum Smart Tech: Includes a Spektrum 7.4V Smart 2S LiPo battery with an IC2 connector and a USB-C Smart charger for safe, effortless charging.
Plush Suspension: Oil-filled shocks and independent suspension allow this mini basher to handle rough terrain and big jumps with ease.
Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: While this little truck is an absolute blast to drive back-to-back, remember that brushed motors need to breathe! After running a full 2S LiPo battery pack through your Quake Grom, give the motor about 10 to 15 minutes to cool down before tossing in a fresh battery. This simple cooldown period will drastically extend the lifespan of your MEGA 380 motor and keep your rig running strong all season long!
