About the Vorteks 223S BLX 2WD
Intuitive Control
The Vorteks 223S BLX 2WD includes the Spektrum™ SLT2 2.4GHz radio system, designed to make your driving experience smooth and manageable, no matter your skill level. One of its standout features is the throttle limiting switch, which lets you cap power output to 50%, 75%, or full power. This gives beginner drivers the ability to grow at their own pace, minimizing the risk of losing control. Complementing this is Spektrum's integrated Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), which assists with steering corrections on slippery or uneven surfaces. With four selectable modes, DSC helps maintain control when traction is low, allowing you to focus on learning technique while the system supports your stability.
Reliable Power
Under the body, the Vorteks 223S 2WD is equipped with a Spektrum 3660 4000kV brushless motor paired with a water-resistant SLT 2-in-1 45A ESC and Receiver. This system is built for long-lasting performance and can handle both 2S and 3S LiPo batteries, giving you room to grow without needing to upgrade the powertrain. The electronics are sealed against the elements, so rain, mud, and dust won't keep you from hitting the track or trail.
Durability Meets Versatility
Built to withstand rough terrain and heavy use, the Vorteks 223S 2WD features a tough composite chassis, heavy-duty transmission, and oil-filled coil-over shocks. Its wide all-terrain suspension and high-traction dBoots tires allow you to run on grass, dirt, asphalt, or gravel with ease. Multi-spoke wheels and impact absorbing bumpers add resilience, while the clipless body retention system makes battery swaps fast and convenient. Adjustable ride height and a high-downforce wing help tune your performance to the terrain, giving you total control over your setup.

I grew up with a Tamiya Grasshopper in the 90s and have not had an RC car since, until this was purchased. I've only had it out once but it is an absolute blast to drive around. Responsive, agile and so much room to improve. The power limiter means I can also have my daughter play with it and get the hang of it. Even on a 2S, 75% and 100% power is great. And I haven't even played around with the DSC settings. The car is all that I was hoping for and more. I couldn't stop smiling while playing around with it, I was brought back to my childhood in an instant!
This is a rig I bought for my 12 year old daughter. I’m more than impressed with it especially for the price point. First off, it’s chunky. Arms, driveshafts everything is thick and sturdy looking. Second off the colors on the body pop. Third, the skids on the roof and the screws that keep the spoiler for being damaged during a rollover are an awesome touch all bashers should come with. My daughter drives it mostly on 2s and it’s plenty fast. We speed tested on 3s with a skyrc gnss and hit 50mph on the dot. It’s a great option and I’m thinking of picking up the 4wd option for myself.
