Product Information

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

Arrma Vorteks MEGA 550

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.
