Arrma Big Rock 6S 1/8th scale RTR monster truck

Arrma have introduced the Big Rock 6S 1/8th scale ready-to-run monster truck. Featuring a tough twin vertical plate chassis backbone the shaft-driven 4WD vehicle is built to excel both on-road and off-road with the laydown aluminium shock absorbers soaking up even the roughest of terrains. Three all-metal gear differentials help to get the power to the ground with Arrma’s Beast Modes allowing to individually lock up the diffs, resulting in four different drive modes of Blast, Wheelie, Climb and Drift, all accessible on-the-fly by the turn of a transmitter-mounted dial. The BLX200 brushless system is 6S LiPo compatible with the dual battery trays allowing to mount either 2S or 3S hardcase battery packs. The included 2000kv BLX brushless motor propels the truck to speeds of up to 96km/h while the factory-installed metal gear servo and Tactic TTX300 2.4GHZ transmitter keep control of things. The truck finished off by a stealthy looking all-black extended cab truck body and grippy dBoots all-terrain tyres on black chrome wheels.
