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.

Does this battery & charger compatible with this truck?

The 4s would be too much voltage. The car maxes out at 3s, but can also run on a 2s battery.

Bought Hosim VENUM X17 [amazon.com] So far it has been great! I've been in the RC hobby for a while and the basher has been really good, challenging different brands like ARRMA and this X17 has been performing really good, it doesn't stay behind.
That HOSIM is junk compared to this ARRMA, don't listen to this guy that's been "in the RC hobby for a while"; go to an actually hobby store and ask there, they will tell you the same…

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"

I take this back...I ordered from horizon directly and it arrived in 2 days...website still says "awaiting shipment"

I drove this for a few minutes and it seems like it is slipping. Is this just the slipper clutch working as normal? I can exacerbate the symptom when going from reverse to forward, i get several clicks which sound like gears slipping. There are times overall when it wheelies well, and others when it seems to slip right off the start. Is this normal behavior?

Got mine yesterday. It's great fun! It does have a loud/clicky/rattly drivetrain when pushed by hand at very low speed. From what I've read online, this is normal for Arrma products

I always wanted R/C car hobby since a kid but was poor. Now 46 and have the money and time...just wondering if I'm too old. I know nothing about this hobby.

Well, I'm 40 and I just bought myself one for. Christmas. It's awesome.

Bought my son whose friend got him interested into RC cars one of the Amazon brand ones in case it was a fad and he loved it, took care of it, and its been great. My brother and I both got one of these Granites when we were a kid and it was great until the motor went on mine and my brothers smashed. My kids ready to step up so in for one of these, got couple batteries with a fire bag and a charger. See how he is on opening this up on his birthday.

Also for anyone clicking the link. You have to go to the other items link on the right because its not defaulting to the PRIME posting anymore with the $70 coupon

The clicking is normal to an extent from what I understand. I had the same question. https://www.arrmaforum.com/thread...ise.18743/

Was waffling on picking up a second one but looks like it's dead.
