The folks over at ARRMA doled out plenty of upgrades on their 2016 line-up of vehicles. We recently unboxed a brand spank’n new 2016 Senton to give you a look at what’s inside the box, plus to take a look at some of those upgrades. The new Senton received a face-lift via new livery, but its real improvements came in the [...]

Craig (AKA GIGAWATTSLAB on YouTube) is the ramp builder to the stars and is known for his hydroplane videos. Craig’s latest video showcases the ARRMA Senton BLX and also shows one of the latest crazes to [...]
One of our all time favorite bash trucks around the offices of BigSquidRC is the ARRMA Kraton. It is crazy fast, jumps like a rockstar, and can take a beating with the best of them. For 2016 the Kraton has received some upgrades to make it better than ever. What’s the scoop on the new Kraton? * New Tactic TTX300 radio [...]

After receiving the latest version of the ARRMA Fury BLX to hit the states we had crack the box open as soon as possible. Yes, of course we grabbed a camera before doing so, but all of us were pretty stoked to see the new 60 mph+ version of the Fury. Take a peek below to see exactly what it looks [...]
Among the bashing community short course trucks are a favorite, especially 4 wheel drives. They have a great combination of scale looks, toughness, and drivability that are great for bashyard bashing. We’ve had the opportunity to thrash the latest SCT from ARRMA, the 4wd Senton BLX, for several weeks now. Did it live up to the ARRMA name? How does [...]
With the 10th scale ARRMA RC vehicles becoming legendary among the basher crowd, ARRMA decided to take it up a notch and start producing 8th scalers. We’ve been bash/crash/thrash testing the Typhon BLX 8th Scale Buggy for weeks to see if it lived up to the ARRMA reputation for speed, durability, and handling. How does the Typhon stack up? Is [...]
While the guys are outside thrashing it, I decided to throw up some unboxing pictures for the ARRMA Talion. The Talion is one of the newest products offered by ARRMA and should make for a prime bashing machine. Being an 8th scale truggy, it is quite large, which never hurts when trying to get over big dirt clods or when [...]
Bigger is always better, right? In the bashing world that is generally true, the bigger the beast, the better the basher. We’ve been testing (read- abusing) the new ARRMA Raider XL BLX for weeks now. The XL version of the Raider is significantly larger than the original buggy but is it a better basher? How durable is it? Does its [...]
Ever since it was seen at the Nuremburg Toy Fair in January, the ARRMA Kraton BLX Monster Truck has been creating a lot of buzz. The Kraton is not only ARRMA RC’s first 4wd, but also their first 1/8th scale machine, hence the reason bashers are biting at the bit to hear how it performs. #gallery-19 { margin: auto; } #gallery-19 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: [...]
Big gnarly monster trucks are the kings of the bashing hill. They have big tires, big tires, and generally smash over anything (car/truck/buggy) that gets in their path. The ARRMA Kraton was announced months ago at the Nuremburg Toy Fair. Since then they’ve been finishing the truck up and now it is about ready to drop on US shores. What makes [...]
First seen at the Nuremburg Toy Fair over the winter, the mid July release date for the ARRMA Typhon buggy is quickly approaching. The Typhon is big news not only because it is the first 8th scale to be released by ARRMA, but also because it will be their first 4wd. The Typhon was designed to be a high speed-high power [...]
