Overview
Enjoy terrain-commanding Monster Truck excitement with the
jaw-dropping power and 50+ MPH brushless performance of the ARRMA® GRANITE™ 4X4
3S BLX Monster Truck. Precision aluminum, tough steel and composite materials
come together for an easy-to-maintain, super-durable vehicle design that’s now
upgraded for even greater performance and durability.
The GRANITE™ 4X4 3S BLX RTR is DESIGNED FAST,
DESIGNED TOUGH – built for exciting bashing speeds and extreme, all-terrain
toughness. New features that enhance its unstoppable performance include a
stronger chassis and retained hinge pin plates; steering with more clearance for
stones; a castellated slipper pad and sliding gear mesh; and rubber-shielded
bearings throughout.
It also now includes a Spektrum™ SLT3™ transmitter
and SLR300 receiver. The transmitter is ergonomically designed for long periods
of fatigue-free bashing and has a foam wheel for precise fingertip control, plus
an improved hand grip and trigger feel. New bashers will be able to set throttle
limits at 50% or 75% until they are ready to use the full speed potential. The
SLT3™ is compatible with Tactic® SLT™ receivers
to run other RTR vehicles you may own, and includes a third channel to control
optional features such as lights and winches on models that have them.
ARRMA® now powers the GRANITE™ 4X4 3S
BLX with a brushless system featuring its BLX100 ESC and the Spektrum™ Firma™ 3200Kv
brushless motor. The combination provides incredible torque, acceleration and
speed. The transmission and chassis are ruggedly engineered to take full
advantage of the electronics’ power.
It has the ingenious modular design perfected by ARRMA® engineers
for easy component access and maintenance. The power module, with improved dirt
management, consists of the motor with ARRMA® heatsink and cooling
fan, plus motor plate, slipper clutch assembly and gear cover. The power module
can be detached from the chassis as a complete unit by removing just one screw.
With the power module removed, the slipper clutch can be reached easily for
adjustments by taking out three screws that attach the gear cover. The gear
ratio can be finely tuned as the power module now uses a sliding motor mesh
design.
A two-piece molding screwed to the truck’s chassis serves
as its electronics module, containing a waterproof receiver box, servo mount and
ESC tray. The SLR300 receiver mounts inside the receiver box for protection from
dirt and moisture. The ultra-compact ESC is screwed to the top of the module,
allowing quick access to the on/off switch, while the servo mounts to the side.
All three components can be removed together, quickly and easily.
The differential module houses each differential unit in an
innovative yoke design. Only eight screws need to be removed to release the
front and rear yokes. The power module can then be detached, allowing you to
pivot the gearbox cases for differential access. The GRANITE™ 4X4 3S
BLX RTR comes brushless-ready with 37T 1.35mod diffs with silicone O-rings. The
large gears can withstand huge torque, and internal metal gears have been chosen
for reliability during extreme bashing.
Its full-time 4WD transmission uses strong front, rear, and
centerline telescopic driveshafts that can’t be lost during heavy impacts,
unlike dogbones. A simple, dependable, responsive steering assembly complements
the ultra-reliable drive system and features a servo horn with built-in servo
saver. The GRANITE™ 4X4 3S BLX RTR includes the waterproof Spektrum™ SPMS651
metal-geared digital servo for 15% more torque than the previous version’s
ADS-7M servo.
The self-bleeding, oil-filled shocks, now with silicone
O-rings, use a tried and tested, coil-over design for simple maintenance and
amazing handling. Their innovative rod-end has a moulded-in spring perch for
extra toughness. Extended height dirt defenders and a close-fitting body limit
the amount of dirt and debris that can get into the chassis tub. Front and rear
bumpers offer defense against impacts.
Four dBoots® Fortress™ MT tyres on
gunmetal multi-spoke wheels give the GRANITE™ 4X4 3S BLX superb bite
on a multitude of surfaces. ARRMA® has also installed a wheelie bar
as standard. The aggressively styled truck body looks great while bashing and
even better up-close and personal, with great attention to detail on the decal
and body aesthetics. Choose green or red trim schemes.
