Unboxing the Arrma Gorgon
Before us stands a red beauty, the Arrma Gorgon. Immediately, it captures our attention and beckons us to delve into its mysteries. The color, although green would have been equally enticing, is undeniably cool. The body of this machine is a true work of art, exemplifying the impeccable design that Arrma consistently showcases. There is an element of sickness, a certain edginess that emanates from this vehicle.
One particular detail that catches the eye is the addition of red accents. The front of the car boasts a molded grille that oozes elegance. Moving to the back, we notice another red adornment on the rear tires. Surprisingly, there are no pins on this model, unlike previous versions. Arrma has embraced a new design concept, featuring a single, giant pin. This intriguing innovation demands closer inspection.
Targeted Towards Hobby Enthusiasts
The Gorgon is a dream come true for those seeking an entry into the world of remote-controlled cars. It effortlessly bridges the gap between toy-grade vehicles, found in common stores like Walmart or Target, and high-end brushless systems, which often cost a minimum of $350, and that doesn’t even include the battery or charger, bringing the price closer to $400. The Arrma Gorgon fits right in the middle, providing an affordable option for enthusiasts.
Unlike its predecessor, the Granite, the Gorgon stands taller and exudes a monstrous aura. Its appearance is akin to that of a formidable monster truck. With ease, the body slides off to reveal a fascinating detail in its construction.
The Intriguing Pin Design
The attention shifts to the unique pin design on the Gorgon. As we examine it, perplexity fills our minds. The pin is not what we anticipated. Rather than multiple pins, there is a singular, colossal pin. The mechanism for removing the body is simple and hassle-free, allowing for effortless access to the car’s internals.
With an air of excitement, we anticipate the forthcoming first run of the Arrma Gorgon. This novel RC car has already impressed us beyond measure with its sleek design and innovative pin system. It has earned the title of a true beast, ready to conquer any terrain that dares to challenge it.
Unboxing Arrma Gorgon
Upon opening the package, the first thing that caught my eye was the motor, which was clearly visible inside. It seems that there is an option to install a fan for additional cooling if needed. The battery compartment is located at the bottom, and the included battery was ready to be charged. Speaking of which, the charger and cable were also provided, all that was needed was a small cube adapter.
First Run Experience
After putting the cover back on the vehicle, it was time to take it outside for a test run. What caught my attention was a peculiar sound that I had never heard before. Intriguing, to say the least. Now it was time to see how fast this beast can go. According to the specifications, it can reach speeds of up to 25 miles per hour, which is quite impressive.
We were using a 2s lipo battery, and the acceleration was astounding. The Gorgon had a decent amount of power, and controlling it was surprisingly easy. I initially expected it to be more challenging, but I must admit that Arrma has done a great job with this truck. It’s growing on me.
Testing on the RC Track
We decided to push the Gorgon’s capabilities a bit further and took it to an RC track. Although it is not designed for racing, it was still enjoyable to mess around with it. The jumps were impressive, and we even managed to clear some of them. It handled surprisingly well, and I was pleasantly surprised by its performance.
Exploring Different Terrains
We didn’t stop at the RC track though. We wanted to test the Gorgon’s versatility, so we found a set of stairs to drive it on. The truck tackled the stairs with ease, showing its capability to navigate different terrains. It was a thrilling experience, and the Gorgon handled it effortlessly.
