Deadleg Roberts Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Arrma Kraton would probably be on my list if I were buying. MT4 is great, but TT need to get their imports and distribution sorted. The new Krock looks interesting if they start to stock in the UK again.

405er Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 The one appealing to me mostly is the lst xxl2. Looks great fun on the videos I've seen, 6s or 5s is the question regarding battery's....hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only thing that's put my off hammering mine to yet. I do sometimes love these threads asking for advice, where you get a few owners talking about there experiences and then the OP just goes with what they prob initially wanted, often contrary to advice shared. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really had much votes for anything really, I have watched reviews etc online on all the trucks I mentioned and they all get bad reviews one way or another. I'm really not liking the hyper met. Nothing about it appeals to me. Wheels and shell look really cheap and tacky and the layout and gearbox doesn't look the best. Additional slipper is good just a shame it was an afterthought along with the brace. The extra 70quid I can get a lst one of the most well known most durable rcs of all time. No one on the thread seems to of owned the new xxl2e as its quite a new model. Plus the waterproof side appeals to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the waterproof side appeals to me I have owned the lst xxl2e, sorry to burst your bubble but it's a pile of junk weak diffs crap slipper poor driveshafts terrible servo saver and mounts, esc falls apart motor mount is a nightmare battery tray is a joke I can go on and on fella trust me As for the MTe yep it's £70 cheaper but £200 better IMO never had any problems with the gearbox and I beat the snot out if mine even without a slipper, aftermarket bits are required on most if not all so not really an issue IMO and you were thinking of a slash which is aftermarket heaven lol . The reason you didn't get many votes IMO from your list is there not really that good other than the mt4 but that's discontinued now Happy hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

405er Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Sorry for all those posts my mac had a dickie fit lol. I appreciate your input but look at it from my point of view lol. I've seen reviews that say jst as bad things about the MTe, maybe they got a bad one ? Maybe you got a bad LST ? Who knows. Maybe an xmaxx is a good idea after all lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
330D Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Im in the same boat looking for a 1/8th electric truck/truggy. After a lot of looking around its currently between the arrma kraton and the hobao hyper mt. The problem is theres a new hyper mt plus out very soon and looks amazing!. It also apparently addresses the faults of the original truck. hobao say its being shipped out to distributors end of this month so im keeping an eye on that!.

405er Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 I've heard crap things about the arrma range from a local hobby shop. The new hyper mt will explain why theres very little stock in the uk then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres loads of stock in the uk of the current model not all dealers carry stock of every truck they sale instead they leave it sat in there suppliers warehouse it's common practise especially if your a small outlet.

Ive only seen the slipper and brace plus a few other bits offered as optional upgrades at the minute but you never know perhaps they've now included it ?

I think they will have corrected/added just enough for the masses to buy it, but not too much for the sale of hop up parts to be effected!. Im defo interested though.

Carpmart Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) I've got an Losi XXL(best of the LST trucks) proper brushless Losi signal speed conversion, runs well on 4s, mental on 6s, other than imperial nuts and bolts (get used to this) I love it... However,,I've reached the tipping point in terms of RC's. One of the guys I bash with has first refusal on it, but if your interested, I will force him to make a decision. It comes complete with 130 waterproof ESC and 1900kv motor, will provide a 4s LiPo to get you going. Just needs RX and TX. Would want £300 plus postage and fees. Let me know if interested...
