GET LOW WITH IT

ARRMA blasting machines look awesome from every angle, but, one thing is certain, testing your camera skills by taking your next shot from a lower angle, will really boost the aggressive looks of your social media posts.

Check out this awesome selection of low down and mean ARRMA fan photos, all captured from closer to the ground than most blasting fans would attempt. You will surely agree with us, these are wonderful examples of just how beasty you can make your next Instagram or Facebook post look.

Hitting the streets in style is enhanced even more when you get down at the same level as your ARRMA thrashing weapon.

If you are successful in creating enough drama with your ARRMA social media posts, you are sure to get noticed easily.

No matter if you choose to thrash in the streets, or blast across the beach, showing off the environment in each low down photo will really enhance the finished result.

The lower you get, the meaner they look. You can easily trick viewers into seeing awesome real world details, making your ARRMA beast look super aggressive in every shot.

You can achieve some really amazing results from a lower angle when capturing your pride and joy, often capturing details you would normally miss from a higher point of view.

Don’t be afraid to get close to the action to test out lower photography angles. You will not be disappointed when you capture epic ARRMA dirt ripping action.

SLAMMED FOR ACTION

Street and parking lot blasting action has become a major part of the ARRMA bashing culture. With thousands of dedicated speed run fans hitting the asphalt every week, it’s time to take a look at the beautiful creations they choose to deploy, when all-out speed is the main agenda.

Low-profile street-ready wheels and tires are a popular optional addition, when smooth bashing surfaces are the chosen playground.

The TYPHON 6S and TALION 6S are popular choices, with stealthy black body shell paint being a great look, when ARRMA owners want to stay under the radar during street blasting sessions.

ARRMA fans know that just because the surface may be flat during high speed concrete sessions, it doesn’t mean that the standard specification waterproof electronics are not required. Hitting standing water is a hazard that ARRMA fans are confident they are ready to overcome.

Stock ARRMA diff and shock set ups are beautifully balanced, meaning fans of responsive handling can always rely on fast and agile transmitter responses, when they hammer the throttle. A few simple shock position adjustments allow higher or lower ride height settings to be achieved, which easily soaks up whatever the local mall parking lot has to offer.

The trend of stretching the TYPHON 6S Speed Buggy, by fitting a TALION chassis plate, is a guaranteed way to add even more straight line stability, allowing ballistic top speed to be balanced and controlled. The longer the wheelbase, the easier the street ripping BLX power is handled when shooting straight for the horizon.

Low and mean are the popular themes for ARRMA fans who choose to add a custom look, when they are attacking a street battle. Custom painted optional body shells bring a huge opportunity for bragging rights, meaning street blasting sessions are packed full of chances to style it out like a true speed King.

No matter how ARRMA fans choose to push the limits on hard surfaces, it is certain that this pulse-racing culture is here to stay. BLX brushless power is the perfect gateway to your own personal best speed run. Just hold on tight and have fun.
