ARRMA Fireteam 6S BLX Review – Reveal, First Run and Real-World Test!

ARRMA Fireteam 6S BLX Review – Reveal, First Run and Real-World Test! Hey guys and welcome back to ChriswithaC RC! Now following on from my Big Rock 6S BLX video, as many of you know when I originally went to buy that truck, it was actually meant to be the ARRMA Fireteam 6S BLX. A website error changed the plan completely… and that’s how we ended up with the Big Rock instead. In the meantime, I was chatting with my awesome friend Ormy RC, and he mentioned he wanted my Traxxas Sledge that recently returned to the channel. After some back-and-forth and a bit of deliberation, we worked out a deal — and that meant I could FINALLY bring the Fireteam home! And the reason I chose THIS Fireteam? The spec sheet was absolutely wild… and props to Phil he built a BAD ASS truck for sure. 🔥 ABOUT THE ARRMA FIRETEAM 6S BLX The 1/7 scale ARRMA Fireteam 4WD Speed Assault Vehicle is one of the most unique machines ARRMA has ever released combining military styling, an extra-long wheelbase, rugged 6S parts, a mechanical handbrake, and the insane durability we all love from this platform.
