What Makes the Notorious Different
Unlike most RC trucks which prioritize speed and handling, the Notorious is a dedicated stunt machine. The solid rear axle combined with the locked differential allows the rear wheels to spin independently, enabling epic wheelspin and wheelie-friendly throttle control. The massive tires give it that monster truck look and the high clearance means landing jumps from serious height.
Stunt Performance
On 6S the Notorious pops wheelies on demand with a quick throttle punch. With practice you can hold sustained wheelies, do donuts, and send it off ramps for big air. It's genuinely capable of backflips on the right jump. The crowd reaction when you're bashing this truck is unmatched — it's the showman of the RC world.
Durability
ARRMA has engineered the Notorious to survive the abuse that stunt bashing brings. The solid axle is robust and the chassis handles hard landings well. We've broken body panels and bent a hex adapter, but the core mechanicals have stayed solid through extended bashing.
Final Verdict
If you want the most fun truck in the parking lot, the Notorious 6S is it. Pure entertainment on wheels.
