How does the mechanical handbrake enhance control?
The factory-installed mechanical handbrake in the ARRMA C-ARA7618T1 with mechanical handbrake and 2050Kv motor is operated via the Spektrum SLT3 transmitter’s third-channel thumb switch. This feature allows drivers to perform handbrake turns, initiate drifts, and execute evasive maneuvers with precision. Powered by a dedicated waterproof servo, the handbrake adds a new dimension to off-road driving, making the ARRMA C-ARA7618T1 4WD military-style truck ideal for tactical bashing and stunt execution.
What makes the power system ideal for high-speed terrain bashing?
At the heart of the ARRMA RC car with Smart ESC and dBoots FIRETEAM tyres is a Spektrum Firma 4074 2050Kv brushless motor paired with a 150A Smart ESC. This setup supports 4S and 6S LiPo batteries and delivers speeds exceeding 60+ mph. The motor is mounted on an easy-access sliding plate and includes a heatsink, cooling fan, and Safe D pinion gear for thermal stability and drivetrain protection. The Smart ESC provides real-time telemetry and uses IC5 connectors for secure power delivery, making the ARRMA C-ARA7618T1 1/7 scale brushless RC car both powerful and intelligent.
How does the chassis design support aggressive driving?
The 3mm anodized aluminium chassis of the ARRMA buggy with aluminium chassis and oil-filled shocks is reinforced with composite side guards, EXB-compatible top plate, and a tower-to-tower brace. This structure absorbs impact and maintains rigidity under high-speed loads. The full roll cage integrates with the chassis and bumpers, while crash-absorbing skid plates and spring-loaded rear bumper protect against terrain strikes. Combined with heavy-duty steel driveshafts and all-metal drivetrain components, the chassis ensures the ARRMA C-ARA7618T1 speed assault buggy remains stable and resilient during extreme bashing.
What makes the suspension system terrain-ready?
The wide-track suspension and extra-long wheelbase of the ARRMA C-ARA7618T1 4WD military-style truck provide dynamic handling across uneven surfaces. Adjustable aluminium-bodied oil-filled shocks are mounted on black-anodized shock towers, delivering plush damping and consistent tyre contact. The dBoots FIRETEAM tyres feature a vented airless-style design with military-inspired wheels, offering high traction and durability. Whether you're navigating rocky trails or launching off ramps, the suspension system ensures the ARRMA RC car with Smart ESC and dBoots FIRETEAM tyres remains composed and responsive.
How does the Smart telemetry system improve the driving experience?
The Spektrum SLT3 transmitter and SR315 dual protocol receiver included with the ARRMA C-ARA7618T1 1/7 scale brushless RC car offer Smart telemetry compatibility, allowing drivers to monitor battery voltage, motor temperature, and performance metrics in real time. The transmitter features throttle limiting for new users and a foam wheel for precise control. With waterproof steering and brake servos delivering up to 265 oz-in of torque, the system ensures reliable input and feedback across all driving conditions. These features make the ARRMA C-ARA7618T1 speed assault buggy ideal for both novice and expert RC enthusiasts.
