Monster Truck Madness – Gorgon, Gorgon, Gone
Hello everybody and Happy Thursday! Hope your vacation season is goin’ nice!
I’m so hung up on all of the strong axle monster truck stuff that’s at all times occurring that I may be responsible of not paying sufficient consideration to “standard” r/c monster vans that characteristic unbiased suspensions. Hey, most of them make nice bashers, however usually they simply don’t get my blood pumping like their extra scale brethren.
So generally I miss the bus relating to their releases. That is unquestionably the case relating to the Arrma Gorgon, a rig that I lately acquired to have slightly palms on time with and that I REALLY want to speak about.
Arrma is well-known within the pastime area for creating depraved bashing vehicles- particularly their Kraton, Outcast and Granite monster vans. All of that are generally known as a number of the greatest performers of their phase of the pastime, and all supply a number of worth for the greenback.
Heck, I believe the Arrma Felony is among the coolest releases the pastime has ever seen, and it’s an on-road automotive!
So let’s discuss in regards to the Gorgon, which launched a number of weeks in the past.
The 1/10 Arrma Gorgon is a 1/10 monster truck that’s 2WD, has a brushed motor, and an unbiased suspension. OK, no huge deal, proper?
Well, the Gorgon takes that primary r/c load-out and marries it to a scale full measurement monster truck look by the use of a slick trying physique that is available in numerous coloration choices (with matching plastic trim) and a unbelievable trying wheels and tire package deal. The proportions of every little thing are simply spot on to trying like the actual factor.
The truck has full ball bearings, a strong driveline and comes Ready-To-Run at both $139 (no battery/charger) or $169 (battery/charger included).
That is OUTSTANDING worth, of us.
The Gorgon is a straightforward suggestion for somebody wanting to check out the waters of r/c monster trucking. No, it’s not a white-knuckle thrill machine, however it’s a rattling good newbie automobile that appears superior at an extremely low-cost value level.
The truck I acquired my palms on was a retailer automobile at my LHS, however they have been all bought out of their preliminary cargo. As quickly as they get their subsequent load in, I’m choosing up one of many $139 variations of the truck for the only real goal of having the ability to slowly improve it right here within the Monster Truck Madness weblog.
At that value level it’s a VERY straightforward purchase for me.
Kudos to Arrma for releasing what seems to be a VERY strong entry level to the pastime for a lot of of us. I hope you all will discover the forthcoming construct sequence fascinating!
More on the Gorgon as quickly as my pastime store will get them again in inventory.
Until subsequent time, preserve it on all 4’s!
