FAQs
What batteries does the Arrma FURY MEGA 550 require?
The truck requires a 2S LiPo (7.4V) battery or a compatible NiMH battery pack. Batteries and a charger are not included.
Is the truck truly waterproof?
The Spektrum 2-in-1 40A ESC/receiver and the S660 steering servo are waterproof. However, the motor and other components are water-resistant, not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid submersion and dry the vehicle thoroughly after running in wet conditions.
Can I upgrade to a brushless motor?
Yes, the FURY MEGA 550 features a heavy-duty, brushless-ready transmission designed to handle the power of brushless motors. You will also need a compatible brushless ESC.
What is the maximum speed of the truck?
The Arrma FURY MEGA 550 has a maximum speed of approximately 20 km/h (12.5 mph) with the included brushed setup. This speed can be limited further by the Spektrum SLT2 transmitter for beginners.
How do I bind the transmitter to the receiver?
The transmitter and receiver usually come pre-bound. If they become unbound, refer to the FURY MEGA 550 instruction manual for the specific binding procedure, which typically involves pressing a button on the ESC/receiver while powering on the transmitter.
Do I need any tools to assemble or maintain it?
The Arrma FURY MEGA 550 includes high-quality molded tools for basic assembly and maintenance. Additional tools like a battery charger, charging leads, and potentially metric hex drivers might be needed for more involved maintenance or upgrades.
What is the difference between this model and others in the Fury line?
This 'Green' ARA3221T1 variant is a specific color scheme. Other variants may differ in included accessories (like battery/charger) or color. Always check the product description for specific details.
Troubleshooting
Truck not moving when throttle is applied
Check battery charge level and ensure it's properly connected. Verify transmitter and receiver are bound. Ensure the throttle trim on the transmitter is centered. Check if the speed limiter on the transmitter is set to 0%.
Steering is slow or unresponsive
Check the steering servo connection to the receiver. Ensure the steering servo horn is correctly aligned and not obstructed. Check the servo saver for damage. Inspect the steering linkage for binding.
Motor overheating
Reduce run times and allow the motor to cool between cycles. Check for binding in the drivetrain or excessive drag. Ensure the gear mesh is not too tight. Clean any debris blocking the motor vents.
Truck pulls to one side
Adjust the steering trim on the transmitter. Check the suspension components and steering linkage for any damage or binding that might be causing uneven steering response.
Battery drains very quickly
Ensure you are using a battery with sufficient capacity (mAh). The maximum speed setting on the transmitter and aggressive driving can also reduce run time. Check for any drag in the drivetrain.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent value for a 1/10 scale RC short course truck.
- Durable construction suitable for bashing.
- Waterproof electronics provide versatility in different weather conditions.
- Easy-to-access battery compartment speeds up battery changes.
- Clear upgrade path for increased performance (e.g., brushless motor, LiPo batteries).
- Beginner-friendly with adjustable speed settings on the transmitter.
Cons
- Batteries and charger are not included and must be purchased separately.
- The included motor is brushed, which is less powerful than brushless options.
- While RTR, some minor assembly or setup might be needed depending on user experience.
- Maximum speed of 20 km/h might be limiting for advanced users out of the box.
- Being a 2WD truck, it may have less traction than 4WD counterparts in certain conditions.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
- Battery Installation: Open the bottom-loading battery tray by releasing the latches. Insert your LiPo or NiMH battery pack (ensure it fits snugly) and connect it to the ESC. Secure the battery tray door.
- Transmitter Binding: The transmitter and receiver are typically pre-bound. If they lose connection, refer to the product manual for the binding procedure.
- Pre-Run Check: Ensure all wheels are secure, the body is properly attached, and no parts appear loose or damaged.
Compatibility:
- Batteries: The FURY MEGA 550 is LiPo-ready and compatible with 2S LiPo batteries (7.4V) or equivalent NiMH battery packs. Always use a compatible charger.
- Chargers: Use a LiPo-specific balance charger for LiPo batteries or a suitable charger for NiMH packs. Always follow charger instructions.
- Upgrades: The transmission is designed to handle brushless motors. Various ARRMA and aftermarket parts can be used for customization and performance upgrades.
Care and Maintenance:
- Cleaning: After running, especially in wet or dirty conditions, clean the chassis and components with a damp cloth. Avoid using high-pressure water jets, which can damage electronics. Dry thoroughly.
- Lubrication: Periodically check and lubricate the gears in the differential and any exposed bearings.
- Shock Maintenance: Check the oil level in the shocks and top up or replace as needed. Clean the shock shafts.
- Storage: Store the truck in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It's recommended to remove the battery when storing for extended periods.
- Waterproofing: While the ESC and servo are waterproof, the motor and other components may not be. Exercise caution in very wet conditions and always dry the vehicle thoroughly afterwards. Refer to the manual for specific waterproof standards.
