ARRMA 1/10 Senton 223S BLX 4WD Brushless RTR Short Course Truck

The Arrma Senton 223S 1/10 BLX Brushless Ready to Run delivers a robust RC short course truck for high-speed bashing and racing. Featuring a durable composite chassis, Spektrum Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), and a 3100kV brushless motor, this 4WD truck supports 2S and 3S LiPo batteries for speeds up to 50+ mph. Designed for brushless RC truck enthusiasts, it combines all-terrain capability with a sleek, non-replica short course body for versatile performance.

Performance

The Senton 223S achieves impressive speeds with a Spektrum Firma 3100kV brushless motor and SLT 80A 2-in-1 ESC/receiver, reaching 35+ mph on 2S and 50+ mph on 3S LiPo power. The 4WD drivetrain with metal gear differentials ensures reliable traction on dirt, gravel, or grass, while adjustable oil-filled shocks absorb rough terrain. However, the stock dBoots Fortress SC tires may wear quickly on abrasive surfaces like asphalt, and some users report excessive wheelspin on loose terrain without DSC adjustments. The DSC system with four modes aids control, but high-speed handling can feel twitchy for beginners without throttle limiter settings.

Design and Features

The blue short course body features a clipless design for easy access and composite nerf bars for impact protection. The ventilated composite chassis and rubber-shielded bearings enhance durability, but the plastic body is prone to scratches during aggressive bashing. The absence of included LED lights limits nighttime visibility, though aftermarket kits are compatible. The modular power system, detachable with one screw, simplifies maintenance, but the stock servo may struggle with precise steering under heavy loads. The dBoots Fortress SC tires provide solid grip, though upgrades may be needed for competitive racing.

Ease of Use and Maintenance

The Spektrum SLT3 2.4GHz transmitter with throttle limiter (50% or 75%) supports beginners, while DSC enhances stability on varied surfaces. The truck requires a 2S or 3S LiPo battery and charger, not included, which adds setup costs. Runtime varies from 15–30 minutes, with charging times of 60–90 minutes depending on the battery. Maintenance is straightforward due to the modular design, but small screws are easily stripped, and debris can accumulate in the chassis without a dust cover. The waterproof electronics allow bashing in wet conditions, per the manual’s standards.

Special Notes: This is a Ready to Run model, fully assembled with a pre-painted blue body, Spektrum electronics, and four AA transmitter batteries included. Requires a 2S or 3S LiPo battery and charger (not included). Suitable for beginners with DSC and throttle limiter, while advanced users can disable DSC for full control.
