ARRMA VORTEKS MEGA 550 2WD Stadium Truck RTR Overview

Join the stadium truck racing fun with a ready-to-run basher built the way only ARRMA makes them — the VORTEKS MEGA 550 2WD. It's super tough, easy to handle, and fast enough straight out of the box to thrill first-time RC hobbyists and experienced drivers alike. The ARRMA VORTEKS 2WD is the most affordable hobby-quality 1/10 scale stadium truck available. And it's easy to upgrade with LiPo batteries and brushless motors whenever you're ready to take it to the next level.

The VORTEKS delivers more refined performance than any previous ARRMA 2WD vehicle, with the perfect combination of stability and agility. Its wide stance contributes to confidence-boosting control at any speed while racing in your backyard or at your local park. New drivers can take advantage of the easy handling to learn lines and precision driving techniques. Low and sporty, the VORTEKS 2WD lets you carve through the turns without slowing down. The specialized tread design of the all-new dBoots Dirtrunner ST front tires makes it easy to jump and corner on rough surfaces.

If you're brand new to RC, the included Spektrum SLT2 2-channel radio helps you safely learn control skills by limiting maximum speed to 50% or 75% until you're ready to unleash it all. Blast through wet conditions without worry — the Spektrum 2-in-1 40A ESC/receiver unit and high-torque Spektrum S660 steering servo are both waterproof (see the VORTEKS instruction manual for details).

Proven ARRMA engineering gives the composite chassis the durability for bashing over punishing surfaces. The independent suspension, oil-filled shocks, and adjustable ride height combine to provide a smooth ride over uneven terrain. For unstoppable traction, the stadium truck's metal gear differential moves power from the installed MEGA 550 motor to the all-terrain rear tires.

As you gain experience with your VORTEKS 2WD, you can also stretch its performance envelope by customizing it with option parts that are already available. Take advantage of its 2S LiPo-compatible Spektrum electronics to feed it LiPo power. The VORTEKS chassis has enormous potential to grow into a next-level RC bashing beast!

SUPER TOUGH TRANSMISSION

Factory assembled and installed, the heavy-duty, metal gear differential sends power from the MEGA 550 14T brushed motor to the rear all-terrain tires for blasting through challenging terrain. Upgrade to brushless power whenever you're ready — the VORTEKS transmission is tough enough to take it.

BOTTOM LOADING BATTERY TRAY

Time to change batteries? No need to remove the body or fuss with clips. Just push on the latches, open the door, and plug in a fresh pack. You're quickly back to having fun!

STRONG SPINE COMPOSITE CHASSIS

The durability of its composite chassis lets you send your VORTEKS over punishing terrain with confidence. The simple spine design won't collect dirt, rocks, and mud. It stays clean and lightweight, which means more power!

ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION

The independent suspension and oil-filled, coilover shocks soak up bumps. If your bashing takes you over uneven surfaces, you can adjust the ride height to increase ground clearance.

SPEKTRUM ELECTRONICS INCLUDED

The Spektrum S660 digital steering servo provides high torque (84 oz-inch @ 6V) for precise steering. As you learn more and gain experience, you can push the limits of your VORTEKS by using brushless power and LiPo batteries — the Spektrum 2-in-1 40A ESC and receiver are naturally LiPo-ready because its power is regulated by the ESC.

STADIUM TRUCK BODY

Adding to its exciting realism, the VORTEKS stadium truck body is securely held in place by a hidden body retention system. The body doesn't need to come off to change the battery, but is easy to remove if you need to access the on-board electronics.

SPEKTRUM 2.4GHz SLT2 2-CHANNEL TRANSMITTER

If you're new to RC, the Spektrum SLT2 2-channel radio helps you learn control skills safely by limiting maximum speed to 50% or 75% until you're ready to unleash it all. Bash without worry in wet conditions — the Spektrum 2-in-1 40A ESC/receiver unit and high-torque Spektrum S660 steering servo are both waterproof. (For details on waterproof standards, refer to the product instruction manual.)
