What battery does the Notorious 6S BLX V6 need?

It runs on 6S LiPo packs and the Spektrum Firma 150A Smart V2 ESC is 6S-capable. Battery and charger are not included.

Is the V6 much different from the previous Notorious?

Yes. The V6 adds EXB-grade chassis, diff, bumper, skid plate and wing mount parts, side guards, a two-piece tower-to-tower brace and a clipless body.

Can it run in wet conditions?

The Spektrum electronics are waterproof, so mud and snow running is fine. Clean and dry it afterward as you would any RC truck.

The truck comes ready to run with the Spektrum brushless motor, ESC, servo and radio. A 6S LiPo battery and charger are sold separately.

Is it good for a first basher?

It is fast and heavy on 6S, so beginners should start on lower power or a smaller truck. Experienced bashers get the most from its stunt capability.

What reviewers say

Owners rate the Notorious as a tough, stunt-happy basher that takes abuse and keeps going. The V6's EXB parts and clipless body are the most-praised changes. Complaints center on weight, part wear from hard stunting and the extra cost of batteries and chargers.

About the ARRMA 1/8 NOTORIOUS 4X4 6S BLX BRUSHLESS V6 STUNT TRUCK RTR

The ARRMA NOTORIOUS 4X4 6S BLX is a 1/8 scale, ready-to-run RC stunt truck with a retro 1950s body style. It is built for wheelies, donuts, standing backflips and aerial backflips. The body has a livery inspired by WWII fighter planes and uses a quick-release, clipless body retention system.

The chassis plate, differentials, front bumper, skid plate and wing mount are reinforced with EXB (Extreme Bash) construction. New side guards, a two-piece tower-to-tower brace and an inner body tower add strength and make maintenance easier.

Power comes from a 6S-capable Spektrum brushless system with a Firma 2050Kv brushless motor and a Firma 150A Smart V2 ESC with updated firmware. A high-torque, steel gear Spektrum S665 servo handles steering. The electronics are waterproof, so the truck can run through mud and snow. It runs on a 6S LiPo battery for the most extreme stunts, or on a 4S pack for lower speeds.
