OFFICAL - ARRMA FURY 2wd SCT
Well my friend picked up an Arrma Fury 2wd SCT RTR kit today. We got a chance to bash around with it in a dirt lot and I must say I was pretty impressed.
The overall build is good, a lot of aluminum and a decent layout. I like the battery box and ability to swap batteries without removing the body.
Of course there dont seem to be a lot of hopups for this RC yet, and obviously my favorite part of the hobby is upgrade and modding the cars!
Here are some pics of the car and battery tray:
So I started digging around my extra parts and found my old CRT .5 aluminum threaded shocks. Turns out they are almost identical!
We've been running the stock electronics with a 2s 4000mAh battery, and will be getting some 2s 5000mAh for him to bash / track run with.
So mod 1:
Stock plastic shocks => CRT .5 Aluminum threaded shocks.
I set them up with the blue springs and 25wt oil.
The next mods are going to be adding a sidewinder sct and a 3500 - 4000kv brushless motor
Lets also start a more detailed spec list:
Motor: Arrma 'MEGA' 15T BRUSHED 540 MOTOR
ESC: Arrma 'MEGA' Brushed ESC (WITH INTEGRATED LIPO PROTECTOR)
Spur: 87 tooth 48pitch
Pinion: 18 tooth 48pitch
Servo: Arrma AS-1 (approx 105oz)
Rx: Arrma ARX300 3CH RTR RECEIVER 2.4gHz
Tx: Arrma 'ATX-300' 3CH 2.4Ghz TRANSMITTER
If anyone can find out the speed of the stock servo ill add it in.

Nice ! I acutally had a chance to drive that truck at a indoor track and im impressed with it handles good and lands soft. And you can fill the diff with diff oil since its sealed turns good also ! Im thinking about selling my 2wd slash and getting one maybe or something else.

i too was impressed with how the car handled. Hope he dishes out the cash for brushless, i mean $32 for a tacon motor wont break the bank

I think its filled with diff oil but knowing its a rtr its likely very little of it. You can tell if it is by moving both rear tire. If the diff action feels free it has grease in them if not it has diff oil in them .
Oh yea i whould give the Tacon motor a try i just dont like them stiff wires they use on them though .

I'm actually ditching my Blitzes to try and race one of these (yea its crazy but that's half the fun in RC)...and like one of the guys posted, the achilles heel is gonna be the lack of shock mounting points...Gonna need lots of different springs to compensate for proper balance. Mine is arriving via UPS tomorrow....can't wait. Love the chassis design...reminds me of my gen 1 Kyosho Ultima I had as a kid. Probably gonna ditch the stock body, tires, esc/motor right away though.

What kv motor do you plan on running? I already have a castle sidewinder sct esc I'm going to put in.
Yea I'm going to look at the shock towers and see if maybe othe brands can be modded on. The CRT .5 shock should help as they are adjustable and have plenty of spring options. Plus, they seem to be much better than the stock ones.
As for tires I haven't looked but I'm assuming they are standard 12mm Hexs?

Any wheels for the Slash 4x4/Blitz will fit.

How is the stock radio? It's the only thing I don't like about this truck.
