ARRMAGEDDON 2024

MAY 24-25 | Freedom Factory | Bradenton, FL

Attention, all ARRMA RC vehicle owners: ARRMAGEDDON, a brand new signature event from Horizon Hobby, makes its debut in late May at the world-famous Freedom Factory race track in Bradenton, Florida. ARRMAGEDDON has been created to give ARRMA fans their own fun-filled weekend of bashing at its best. Long jump, high jump, speed run, freestyle, sumo, and many other mini events will be available to challenge your speed, strength, and skill.

The Freedom Factory is the perfect playground to put your ARRMA basher to the test. Known as Desoto Speedway in the early 1970s, it was where many NASCAR and circle track icons came to compete in the Sunshine State. After several decades the track closed, but a few years later it was purchased, renovated, and renamed by Cleetus McFarland. It reopened to the public as the Freedom Factory in 2021 and has once again become a top destination for motorsports fans.

Think you have what it takes to win the bashing battle? Bring your ARRMA vehicle to the Freedom Factory race track and prove it at ARRMAGEDDON 2024!

Why should you pre-register?

A few reasons!

You are guaranteed a FREE event t-shirt!
You are invited to check-in Thursday night, setup your camp and join us for the Welcome Party, Tech Talks and Movie Night!

What do you need to participate?

Simple. All you need is a single ARRMA vehicle and the desire to have some fun! We will do a simple inspection of every vehicle brought into the Freedom Factory to make sure it is an ARRMA vehicle. We encourage everyone to hop-up and modify their vehicle to get the look and performance they desired we just ask that all option/hop-up parts be OEM/designed specifically for ARRMA vehicles. That's it!

Primitive Camping

Set up primitive camping in the pits of the world-famous Freedom Factory. Create you own RC pit space where some of the greats of the racing world have set up shop. Since this is primitive camping there are no water/power hookups available. Quiet generators are allowed and there will be quiet hours observed so we can all sleep in peace.
