Technical Performance
The ARRMA FELONY 6S BLX represents the pinnacle of modern RC engineering, combining powerful brushless performance with refined durability. At the heart sits the Spektrum Firma 4074 2050Kv brushless motor, a proven powerplant delivering smooth, consistent acceleration and reliable performance across a wide power range. The Spektrum Firma 150A Smart ESC handles 6S LiPo battery power seamlessly, offering not just raw speed but intelligent power management with user-programmable settings for customised driving characteristics. The 1/7 scale chassis measures 725mm in length, 328mm in width and 192mm in height, with a wheelbase of 406mm that provides excellent stability even at extreme speeds. Weighing in at 5kg (11 pounds), the model offers an excellent balance between mass for momentum and agility for cornering. The 6061-T6 anodised aluminium chassis construction ensures rigidity whilst the multi-piece design allows targeted reinforcement where stresses are greatest. With final drive ratios of 8.05:1 front and 8.83:1 rear paired with 2.8:1 and 3.07:1 internal gear ratios respectively, the drivetrain is engineered for smooth power delivery matched to the distinctive tyre sizes. The independent suspension features 77mm front shocks and 87mm rear shocks, both oil-filled and adjustable for fine-tuning to your driving style. The Spektrum DX3 2.4GHz DSMR radio utilises proven digital spread spectrum radio technology for rock-solid range and interference-free operation. Battery compatibility spans 4S and 6S LiPo packs, allowing you to choose between extended runtime on 4S or maximum speed potential with 6S. In optimum conditions with a 6S LiPo battery and included speed pinion gear, this ready to run brushless RC car achieves speeds exceeding 80 MPH, making it genuinely competitive for street bashing and recreational drag racing. The waterproof electronics and sealed receiver box make this suitable for diverse driving environments from smooth tarmac to dirt roads and wet conditions.

The included Spektrum DX3 radio with adjustable AVC gain allows you to customise stability characteristics, and the ready-to-run completion level means minimal assembly is required before you can start driving.
- What battery does the FELONY 6S BLX need and what are the differences between 4S and 6S? — The model is compatible with both 4S (14.8V) and 6S (22.2V) LiPo batteries. A 4S battery will provide good performance and extended running time, whilst 6S batteries deliver maximum speed potential of 80+ MPH in optimum conditions. You'll need either two 2S batteries wired in series or two 3S batteries wired in series to achieve 4S and 6S voltage respectively. Batteries are sold separately, giving you flexibility to choose the performance level that suits your needs.
- What makes the FELONY 6S different from other ARRMA brushless RC cars? — The FELONY 6S stands out through its distinctive 1960s-70s inspired muscle car styling with a multi-part undercut body design, customisable accessory kit and authentic resto-mod aesthetic. Unlike stadium trucks or buggies, the FELONY combines aggressive styling with all-road capability, featuring larger rear tyres for that classic muscle car stance. The aerodynamically adjustable wing and detailed bumper, splitter and diffuser elements further distinguish it, whilst the matched gearbox ratios and tyre sizes deliver authentic muscle car handling characteristics.
- How fast does the ARRMA FELONY 6S BLX go? — With a 6S LiPo battery and the included speed pinion gear, the FELONY can reach speeds exceeding 80 MPH in optimum conditions. With a 4S battery, speeds will be somewhat lower but still extremely competitive. Actual top speed depends on factors including driving surface, battery voltage, terrain conditions and gear selection.
- Is this ready to run RC car waterproof? — The FELONY 6S BLX features waterproof electronics including a sealed receiver box, waterproof servo and waterproof ESC. This allows confident driving in wet conditions and on damp terrain. However, whilst designed to handle moisture and dust, specific waterproof rating details are provided in the product instruction manuals.
- What control range does the Spektrum DX3 radio provide? — The Spektrum DX3 2.4GHz DSMR radio delivers full-range control with 2.4GHz digital spread spectrum technology ensuring reliable interference-free operation. Actual range depends on local RF environment and terrain, but Spektrum's proven DSMR technology provides excellent range and reliability for bashers.
- Can I adjust the AVC (Active Vehicle Control) on the FELONY 6S? — Yes, the SR6110AT receiver includes on-the-fly adjustable AVC gain via your transmitter, allowing you to personalise how much stability assistance the model provides. This lets you dial in the perfect balance between stability and responsive handling for your driving style.
- Does the FELONY 6S include everything needed to drive it out of the box? — The model is RTR (Ready-To-Run) completion level, meaning it includes the assembled chassis, all electronics pre-installed, radio and manual. You'll need to add batteries, a compatible charger and AA batteries for the transmitter before you can drive it.
- What size are the batteries needed and where should I buy them from? — The model accepts batteries up to 7.09 inches (180mm) long by 2.17 inches (55mm) wide by 2.76 inches (70mm) tall. Either two 2S LiPo packs or two 3S LiPo packs with EC5 or IC5 connectors will work. RC Model Shop offers compatible battery packages and chargers specifically selected to work with this model.
- How long does it take to assemble the FELONY 6S BLX? — The approximate assembly time is less than one hour, as the model arrives nearly complete with electronics and servo pre-installed. You'll mainly need to charge your batteries and attach the antenna before driving.
