Our take on the ARRMA Vorteks Mega 1/10 2WD RTR Stadium Truck

The ARRMA Vorteks Mega is a ready-to-run 1/10 stadium truck aimed at first-time hobby drivers. It runs a 3300 mAh NiMH pack and a Spektrum SLT 2-in-1 40A ESC/receiver, with a brushless-ready transmission and a Spektrum SLT2 2.4GHz radio. Top speed is a modest 20+ mph on the included battery. At $149.99 at Hobby Addicts as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent new-price range across the three stores that list it.

Pros

Ready-to-run with battery and radio included
Brushless-ready transmission leaves an upgrade path
Spektrum SLT2 2.4GHz radio and 40A 2-in-1 ESC
dBoots all-terrain tires handle grass, dirt and pavement
Light at 5.16 lb, so it is easy to carry and control

Cons

2WD only, so traction is limited on loose or wet ground
20+ mph on NiMH is slow next to brushless rivals
No LiPo battery included despite LiPo-ready electronics
Rated 17 and up, so not a toy-grade option for kids
Stadium truck body leaves electronics exposed to debris

Questions and answers

Is the Vorteks Mega worth it at $149.99?: At $149.99 at Hobby Addicts as of November 4, 2026, it is a fair entry price for a complete RTR truck with battery and radio. You are paying for the upgrade-ready chassis, not for speed.
How fast is it out of the box?: ARRMA rates it at 20+ mph on the included 3300 mAh NiMH pack. A 2S LiPo and a brushless motor will raise that, but neither is included.
Can I run a LiPo battery in it?: Yes. The Spektrum SLT 40A ESC is LiPo-ready for 2S packs, but the truck ships with NiMH only, so you buy the LiPo separately.
What is in the box?: The truck, a 3300 mAh NiMH battery, a Spektrum SLT2 2.4GHz transmitter, and AA batteries for the transmitter. Check whether your store includes a charger.
Is it good for a kid?: ARRMA lists it for ages 17 and up. It is a hobby-grade truck with exposed moving parts, so younger drivers need supervision.
Should I buy the Mega or a brushless version?: Buy the Mega if you want the lowest entry cost and plan to upgrade later. Go brushless now if you want more speed without wrenching.
Where is the ARRMA Vorteks Mega 1/10 2WD RTR Stadium Truck cheapest?: At Hobby Addicts, for $149.99, 21% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the ARRMA Vorteks Mega 1/10 2WD RTR Stadium Truck?: Rated 4.2 out of 5 from 9 ratings.
Where can I buy the ARRMA Vorteks Mega 1/10 2WD RTR Stadium Truck?: 13 stores we checked sell it, including Hobby Addicts, eBay, RC Car World, Adrenaline RC Racing, AZ Turn and Burn RC.
