ARRMA VORTEKS MEGA 550 2WD Stadium Truck RTR Overview

Join the stadium truck racing fun with a ready-to-run basher built the way only ARRMA makes them - the VORTEKS MEGA 550 2WD. It's super tough, easy to handle, and fast enough straight out of the box to thrill first-time RC hobbyists and experienced drivers alike. The ARRMA VORTEKS 2WD is the most affordable hobby-quality 1/10 scale stadium truck available. And it's easy to upgrade with LiPo batteries and brushless motors whenever you're ready to take it to the next level.

The VORTEKS delivers more refined performance than any previous ARRMA 2WD vehicle, with the perfect combination of stability and agility. Its wide stance contributes to confidence-boosting control at any speed while racing in your backyard or at your local park. New drivers can take advantage of the easy handling to learn lines and precision driving techniques. Low and sporty, the VORTEKS 2WD lets you carve through the turns without slowing down. The specialized tread design of the all-new dBoots Dirtrunner ST front tyres makes it easy to jump and corner on rough surfaces.

If you're brand new to RC, the included Spektrum SLT2 2-channel radio helps you safely learn control skills by limiting maximum speed to 50% or 75% until you're ready to unleash it all. Blast through wet conditions without worry - the Spektrum 2-in-1 40A ESC/receiver unit and high-torque Spektrum S660 steering servo are both waterproof (see the VORTEKS instruction manual for details).

Proven ARRMA engineering gives the composite chassis the durability for bashing over punishing surfaces. The independent suspension, oil-filled shocks, and adjustable ride height combine to provide a smooth ride over uneven terrain. For unstoppable traction, the stadium truck's metal gear differential moves power from the installed MEGA 550 motor to the all-terrain rear tyres.

As you gain experience with your VORTEKS 2WD, you can also stretch its performance envelope by customizing it with option parts that are already available. Take advantage of its 2S LiPo-compatible Spektrum electronics to feed it LiPo power. The VORTEKS chassis has enormous potential to grow into a next-level RC bashing beast!

Super
SUPER TOUGH TRANSMISSION

Factory assembled and installed, the heavy-duty, metal gear differential sends power from the MEGA 550 14T brushed motor to the rear all-terrain tyres for blasting through challenging terrain. Upgrade to brushless power whenever you're ready - the VORTEKS transmission is tough enough to take it.

Bottom
BOTTOM LOADING BATTERY TRAY

Time to change batteries? No need to remove the body or fuss with clips. Just push on the latches, open the door, and plug in a fresh pack. You're quickly back to having fun!

Strong
STRONG SPINE COMPOSITE CHASSIS

The durability of its composite chassis lets you send your VORTEKS over punishing terrain with confidence. The simple spine design won't collect dirt, rocks, and mud. It stays clean and lightweight, which means more power!

Adjustable
ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION

The independent suspension and oil-filled, coilover shocks soak up bumps. If your bashing takes you over uneven surfaces, you can adjust the ride height to increase ground clearance.

Spektrum
SPEKTRUM ELECTRONICS INCLUDED

The Spektrum S660 digital steering servo provides high torque (84 oz-inch @ 6V) for precise steering. As you learn more and gain experience, you can push the limits of your VORTEKS by using brushless power and LiPo batteries - the Spektrum 2-in-1 40A ESC and receiver are naturally LiPo-ready because its power is regulated by the ESC.

Stadium
STADIUM TRUCK BODY

Adding to its exciting realism, the VORTEKS stadium truck body is securely held in place by a hidden body retention system. The body doesn't need to come off to change the battery, but is easy to remove if you need to access the on-board electronics.

SPEKTRUM 2.4GHz SLT2 2-CHANNEL TRANSMITTER

If you're new to RC, the Spektrum SLT2 2-channel radio helps you learn control skills safely by limiting maximum speed to 50% or 75% until you're ready to unleash it all. Bash without worry in wet conditions - the Spektrum 2-in-1 40A ESC/receiver unit and high-torque Spektrum S660 steering servo are both waterproof. (For details on waterproof standards, refer to the product instruction manual.)

We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:

  • For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
  • Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
  • Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
  • If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
  • We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
  • As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
  • If a product is marked as "Dispatched within 3 working days" delivery usually takes around 3 to 5 working days from when your order is placed.
  • For customers in Inverness and other parts of the Scottish Highlands deliveries can take up to 2 working days even if you select next day delivery as couriers do not currently offer a guaranteed next day service to those areas.
