ARRMA VORTEKS MEGA 550 2WD Stadium Truck RTR Overview

Join the fun of track truck racing with a ready-to-run vehicle designed in ARRMA's unique style—the VORTEKS MEGA 550 2WD. This vehicle is extremely tough, easy to handle, and fast enough to impress both beginners in the RC car hobby and professional drivers alike. The ARRMA VORTEKS 2WD is the most affordable, truly amateur-quality truck in the 1/10 scale category. It's also easily upgradeable with LiPo batteries and brushless motors when you're ready to take things to the next level.

The VORTEKS delivers more refined performance than any previous ARRMA 2WD, thanks to its ideal combination of stability and agility. Its wide body promotes confident handling at any speed, whether you're racing in your backyard or in the public park. New drivers can benefit from the easy handling to learn precise driving techniques. With its low, sporty design, the VORTEKS 2WD allows you to corner quickly without slowing down. The tread design of the new dBoots Dirtrunner ST front tires also facilitates jumping and cornering on rough surfaces.

If you're completely new to RC, the included two-channel Spektrum SLT2 controller helps you learn to control safely by limiting the top speed to 50% or 75% until you're ready to unleash full speed. You can also drive in wet conditions without worry—the Spektrum 40A 2-in-1 ESC and receiver, along with the Spektrum S660 high-torque steering servo, are all waterproof (see the owner's manual for details).

VORTEKS is based on the renowned ARRMA architecture, a robust composite frame that provides the ability to withstand harsh surfaces. The independent suspension, with oil-filled shocks and adjustable ride height, delivers a smooth ride over uneven terrain. For unstoppable traction, a metal differential transfers power from the MEGA 550 engine to the all-terrain rear tires.

As you gain more experience, you can expand the VORTEKS 2WD's performance range by customizing it with available optional parts. Take advantage of the electronics compatible with 2S LiPo batteries to give it even more power. The VORTEKS chassis design holds tremendous potential, turning it into a true off-road monster!
