RC Buyer's Guide: ARRMA
While Traxxas is known for creating durable, basher-friendly radio-controlled vehicles, there’s another brand that has been making a name for themselves in that same space. That brand is ARRMA and they’ve rolled out some unique, fun, and fast vehicles throughout the years.
ARRMA’s lineup focuses on off-road vehicles that are destined for backyard bashing and parking lot speed runs. The buggies and trucks that make up their fleet are as eye-catching as they are fast, with some models capable of handling 6S LiPo battery power.
They've made headlines recently, with two releases that focus squarely on fun, bringing an acrobatic stunt truck and a speedy, durable “monster truck” to hobby store shelves.
If having fun in the R/C hobby is your main focus, this guide will introduce you to the many vehicles in the ARRMA lineup.
