Product Information
The 1/10 scale VORTEKS MEGA 550 2WD from AARMA allows all comers to get into a stadium truck and have some race-bashing fun. Designed tough and fast, the VORTEKS MEGA 550 allows novice to expert RC drivers alike explosive out-of-the-box performance. In its current form, the ARRMA VORTEKS 2WD is the most affordable 1/10 scale hobby quality stadium truck available. You can upgrade its form by utilising the adaptable engineering and components to convert to LiPo batteries and a brushless power system when you think your driving is ready!
Control and Precision with Spektrum Electronics
The ARRMA VORTEKS MEGA 550 2WD comes with an SLT2 Spektrum 2-channel transmitter which has a speed-limiting function that serves to teach control skills by limiting you to either 50 or 75% of the VORTEKS' maximum speed until you are ready for full throttle. On board the VORTEKS are the S660 high torque Spektrum steering servo and the Spektrum 2-in-1 40A ESC/receiver unit both of which are waterproof so smashing it through the rain at high speed will not be a problem. For precise steering, the Spektrum S660 digital steering servo provides 84 oz-inch @ 6V of high torque. As your RC driving skills expand you can trick the ARRMA VORTEKS 2WD up by installing a brushless power system and upgrading to LiPo batteries as well. The Spektrum 2-in-1 40A ESC and receiver already have the capacity to handle the additional power of LiPo so no upgrades will be needed.
Heavy-Duty Drivetrain and All-Terrain Performance
The ARRMA VORTEKS 2WD gives the RC driver stadium truck handling that allows you to carve turns without pushing while the large footprint and low centre of gravity provide outstanding stability. The all-new dBoots Dirtrunner ST front tyres feature a tread design that gives you superb control and handling while cornering and makes it easy to get your VORTEKS airborne. The differential is factory installed and the heavy-duty metal gears send power from your 14T brushed motor that will move plenty of power to the all-terrain tyres on your rear wheels drive plenty of blasting power and traction.
Durable Composite Chassis with Easy Maintenance
The composite chassis on the ARRMA VORTEKS 2WD is a durable and strengthened spine design that won't collect rocks, dirt or mud which means it doesn't pick up any extra weight as you are bashing along trails or around the track. Adjustable ride height, independent suspension and oil-filled shocks work together to give you a steady ride over difficult terrain. A hidden body retention system on the ARRMA VORTEKS 2WD adds to the scale realism and keeps your truck body where it should be. There's no need to take the body off to change the battery but it is easily removable if you need access to make adjustments with the electronics.
Extended Run Times with Smart Charging System
You can expect extended run times from the ARRMA VORTEKS 2WD with short 2-3 hour charge times from the included Spektrum high-capacity 7-cell Smart 3300mAh NiMH battery. As soon as you hook this battery up to the Spektrum S120 USB-C Smart charger, it will start safe charging automatically. When it's time to change batteries you will get it done very easily without needing to fuss with removing the body or clips. Latches can just be pushed and the door opens and you just plug in a fully charged pack.
The performance envelope on your ARRMA VORTEKS 2WD can be customized to suit your growing experience and expertise. There are many option parts available and, as mentioned, you can upgrade to a brushless power system and the LiPo batteries to run it whenever you feel ready. Get started now in the stadium truck arena with the ARRMA VORTEKS 2WD!
