Gorgon 4x2 MEGA

About the Gorgon 4x2 MEGA

Arrma's entry point for the monster truck category, the Gorgon uses MEGA-sized hardware — a 550 brushed motor and metal-pinion gearbox — on a 2WD chassis that competes directly with the Traxxas Stampede in price and purpose. The platform is built around a composite tub chassis with vertical-mounted shock towers that make the suspension geometry upgradable without a full rebuild. Arrma's approach with the Gorgon is durability over complexity. The drivetrain is straightforward to service, parts are widely available, and the included NiMH battery provides a realistic baseline for new drivers before moving to LiPo.

Key Specs

Who It's For

First-time RC buyers who want a hobby-grade monster truck with better parts support than toy-grade options. The 2WD platform and brushed motor are forgiving for beginners. Budget-conscious buyers who expect to bash hard and need cheap, available replacement parts.

Upgrade Notes

Moving to a 2S LiPo is the first upgrade most owners make — the included NiMH battery undersells the motor's capability. The stock tires are soft foam and wear quickly on pavement; upgrading to a harder compound extends their life. The plastic servo horn strips under repeated hard impacts; a metal horn is a cheap fix.
