Overview

The ARRMA 1/8 NOTORIOUS 6S V6 4X4 BLX Stunt Truck RTR is the next evolution of one of the most iconic ready to run RC trucks available in the UK today. This 1/8 scale brushless stunt truck combines retro 1950s styling with cutting-edge performance technology, making it the perfect choice for RC enthusiasts who want to perform jaw-dropping tricks and extreme stunts with genuine style. Whether you're an experienced RC basher or looking to step up your game, the NOTORIOUS 6S delivers the punch, durability and versatility to handle anything you throw at it.

This latest V6 version features significant upgrades across the entire platform, with EXB (Extreme Bash) reinforcements throughout the chassis, differentials, front bumper, skid plate and wing mount. The stunt truck is factory-fitted with waterproof Spektrum brushless electronics including a powerful 150A Smart V2 ESC and high-torque S665 servo, meaning this is a truly ready to run RC vehicle that requires only a compatible LiPo battery and charger to get started. The NOTORIOUS 6S is equally capable on 4S power for less experienced drivers seeking manageable performance, or you can install a 6S LiPo battery for extreme, high-speed stunts that will leave spectators amazed.

From long, tall wheelies and tight, fast donuts to standing backflips and gravity-defying aerial tricks, the NOTORIOUS 6S does it all with unwavering reliability. This is a ready to run RC truck built for punishment, designed to take any bash you can deliver and keep coming back for more. The attention-grabbing WWII fighter plane livery on the iconic retro truck body sets it apart visually, whilst the quick-release clipless body retention system makes maintenance and customisation straightforward.

  • Easy Maintenance Design — The two-piece tower-to-tower brace, composite side guards and integrated cooling vents make regular maintenance simpler, allowing quick access to drivetrain components without full chassis disassembly.

Technical Performance

The ARRMA NOTORIOUS 6S V6 represents the pinnacle of 1/8 scale stunt truck engineering, combining proven mechanical design with cutting-edge brushless power. The 7075-T6 aluminium chassis plate provides exceptional rigidity whilst remaining lightweight, machined to precision tolerances for consistent performance across varied driving conditions. The EXB reinforcements throughout the build ensure this RC stunt truck can absorb the massive impact forces generated during aerial tricks, heavy landings and high-speed crashes. The Spektrum FIRMA 4074 2050Kv brushless motor delivers smooth, consistent power with excellent temperature characteristics thanks to its 4-pole construction and black-anodised heat-dissipating aluminium can. Paired with the waterproof FIRMA 150A V2 Smart ESC featuring the latest firmware, the powertrain delivers extreme acceleration and responsive control, with integrated fan cooling and thermal overload protection. The motor supports a maximum size of 43mm diameter and 80mm length, allowing future upgrades if required. With a 5000mAh 6S LiPo battery installed, expect run times of approximately 15-20 minutes of moderate use, or shorter durations during continuous high-speed running and trick execution. The vehicle achieves speeds exceeding 60 mph (96 km/h), making it one of the fastest ready to run RC stunt trucks available. The independent suspension system with adjustable oil-filled shocks and proven EXB durability ensures the NOTORIOUS 6S performs consistently across multiple driving sessions. The 17mm wheel hex size allows easy wheel changes, whilst the 3.8-inch dBoots BACKFLIP tyres provide excellent ground grip and durability. The metal-geared S665 servo delivers 20kg torque with 0.12-second response at 7.4V, sufficient for precise steering control at high speeds. The 50-tooth spur and 16-tooth pinion provide the standard gearing, with optional faster pinion included for higher-speed configurations. Battery compatibility spans 4S (14.8V) and 6S (22.2V) LiPo configurations, with maximum dimensions of 158 x 48 x 70mm, allowing flexibility in power source selection based on your experience level and performance requirements. All electronics are sealed against water and dust ingress, earning this ready to run RC truck a water-resistant rating suitable for muddy terrain and wet conditions.

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.
