    Available directly from Horizon Hobby for the same price if you prefer:
    https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/1-10-granite-4x4-v3-3s-blx-brushless-monster-truck-rtr-green/AR... [horizonhobby.com]

    This is a good, flexible, intermediate level truck. Fast enough to keep older kids and adults entertained, but can be turned down for young or inexperienced users. The transmitter has a switch to limit power to 50% / 75% / 100%. Newbies can start on a 2S battery at 50% and eventually work up to 100% on a 3S battery. Unlike some of the cheaper Amazon trucks, parts to repair it will be readily available. This would be a good way to get started in RC and eventually upgrade to a 6S vehicle when you're ready.
    ·
    I have an Arrma Kraton 4S truck that I run on both 3S and 4S, and cannot imagine ever having any desire to upgrade to 6S. 4S vehicles are already preposterously, stupidly fast on all surfaces.

    I'm just saying this for perspective. A 3S truck isn't like a toy for beginners or something you'd find at Walmart. This is a serious hobby-grade vehicle. The majority of people will not feel any need to even upgrade from 3S in my opinion. You have to be really into the hobby to go beyond that.
    ·
    Do a solid and buy through Tower Hobbies or Horizon Hobbies directly - same company and the actual owner of the Arrma brand. It'll end up being a bit cheaper if you have their free membership or their club membership, due to points earned for a next purchase.

    Accessibility is irrelevant. If you're the type of person who like real life monster trucks, this RC might be for you. If you're not, my comment stands
    Ridiculous quote. I have zero interest in full size monster trucks, but bashing my 4x4 monster truck in my yard and sending it off homemade jumps is great fun.

    Monster trucks are great all-around RC vehicles because you can use them almost anywhere and they are very good at taking abuse.

    Quote from Superorb :
    As with all things in life, if you enjoy doing it you will enjoy doing it. People spend HOURS fishing without catching anything and then repeat every weekend for decades while some people would lose interest after 10mins of no bites.

    RC is the same thing.
    Thanks. Doesn't answer my questions at all, though. I'm not asking about what attracts people to hobbies in general, I'm asking for ideas on things perhaps I didn't think of in the RC field, which the comment below does nicely:
    Quote from tshrimp :
    Build a ramp and start jumping. Going for distance, flips, etc. is a blast. This leads to broken cars and rebuilding with better parts.Then there is racing with friends or kids. A friend of mine has the Granite, and it is a wheelie monster and ridding it as long as you can is awesome. I would look online for how to reinforce the tires as they do have issues shredding unless Armma has fixed this (there are videos on how to do this). The thing is, the Granite at this price is a great way to test out if you like it.
    There is a track not too far from where I live, that I didn't realize was still in business after all these years. They have an indoor carpet track and an outdoor dirt track. I don't have any friends currently into RC, but perhaps I could be the guy who influences them to start..
    Quote from flipmark03 :
    I kind of got bored but it led me into flying FPV drones. I'm planning on fixing my surface RC stuff and using them again. I didnt use them at all last year.
    I had dabbled in the drone scene for a while, but the regulation, NFZ's and worrying about weather conditions every time I wanted to go fly really limited my opportunities to enjoy it. What I like about the idea behind RC cars/trucks is that you can run them anytime, anywhere and pretty much in any weather. I may buy something less expensive to start off with, like the Granite 2wd.

    I'm 50 and just got back into this hobby. Spent thousands on it the past year. Couldn't afford this when I was young.

    52 and a Hypergo Xmas present got me into my 1st Tamiya build after a few decades. I've been researching Traxxas and Armma. This was the right price and time to jump in for me. I'll end up with an Xmaxx eventually but this is a good step in my learning to get there. Already got plans for widening the stance. I forgot how addictive RC was and is.

    Do not buy this brushless truck for a 5 year old. I bought the brushed 4x4 version of this granite truck for my son when he turned 9. He had some experience with RC, but this was his first hobby grade, and he could only barely control it on the 50% level. I can't imagine him trying to learn with the brushless one. For a teen or adult, I would recommend spending more on this brushless because it has more capability and the motor won't overheat if run hard.

    The Granite Voltage which is on sale for $99 (search Arrma and it will come up)is a fantastic truck for a 5 year old up to probably 10 years old. It comes with everything you need to get started including a battery and charger. Probably goes 17-18mph with supplied battery but you can decrease the speed to 7-8mph with a controller setting. With a 2S lipo it probably runs in the low 20s and is super durable. My 9 year has had his for 3 or 4 years and we have not had a single issue with it. I am trying to talk him into an MT10 but the kid loves his Granite Voltage.

    Not too old. I just bought my first one last month and I'll be 45 this year. I always buy the stuff that I missed out on as a kid. Lol.

    Quote from G60roddo :
    I've been wanting something like this so started digging into this deal. Noticed someones comments to a beginner on the dangers of the batteries these things use, sharing some of their personal experience with fires. Then found this: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/blog/...01-a-guide . The heck with that. TLDR: they are "safe" so long as you don't poke them, drop them, put them in your pocket, get them wet, leave them in the rc car(!!?!), charge while warm (after using), use while warm (after charging), charge unattended, or my favorite, forget to store in its fireproof bag (!!?!). Probably more I'm forgetting. Yeah, no thanks. You've REALLY got to be into this stuff to put up with such hazards.

    Are there any "good" RC vehicles out there that use a battery that's not trying to light itself on fire if you look at it wrong?
    It's a LiON battery. Just use common sense and it will be ok. The burn bag may sound silly but they are relatively cheap and a safe way to store the batteries. If you are extra worried, get a hard case battery vs the soft shell. It's a hard plastic encasing making it hard to puncture or damage the battery.

    This is an addictive and fun hobby for all ages. I got very into this several years ago and still have a few rc cars and boats in the garage I should dust off. I didn't stop due to boredom but other life events, it has plenty of "replay" value. Highly recommend reading up on lipo batteries, chargers, balancing cells, etc. and grab some common spare parts to have on hand if you don't have a hobby store nearby. If you have a 3D printer some downloadable parts can be found online as well.

    I don't have experience with this one but I will say this - as tempting as it maybe to go straight to 3s/100%, don't. It's more fun to keep it running at a slower speed and learn vs having it constantly roll/crash/break at a higher speed.

    It may also seem logical to replace plastic parts with metal ones such as gearing. I also recommend against this, unless you really know what you are doing. While it seems logical that a metal part, such as a gear, is more durable than a plastic counterpart, the lesson I learned is this essentially puts more pressure on dependent components. So, having a $5 plastic gear break is better/cheaper/easier to repair than snapping an axle or burning up a motor.

    Keep some spare batteries on hand. Get a heat sink for the motor if it doesn't already come with one, especially if you buy more than one battery and want to run it back to back across batteries.

    Just my 2c.

    I came across this deal, not intending to buy, read all the posts, probably still won't buy it. But wow, cars are so different from the humble Tamiya I started off with 30+ years ago! I also bought a Traxxas Slash (2WD) many years ago on some deal posted here, but hardly used it after the first 2 weeks I got it. Which is why I probably won't buy this. The Slash also tends to flip when I drive it on pavement and make a sharp turn which is annoying.

    This video shows what this granite can do, looks like a lot of fun…it can take a lot of punishment!!

    Seems Amazon is the best way to order if you want it quicker. Horizon on Amazon says "ships next day" and from their website the free shipping says "5-10 days"
