Fly In My Soup Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Looks like someone over at horizon made a gaffe this week.... An early pic of this was accidentally released onto the horizon website yesterday.... Which forced arrma to release this video early... No more info as yet...

Oh How Original Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 This might tempt me, lets hope it's not £850. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Doesn't look like they've joined the "live rear axle" club, other than size, I can't really see what this is bringing to the table that's actually new. Arrma seem to be releasing too many variables of the same thing; 3S, 4S and 6S of the same cars. Yes, it's new, but I'd much sooner have an SBR over this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Folks have been crying out for a large scale slash for a long time so they released the udr and the sbr both sadly imo have been a flop in the bashing scene so this certainly ticks the right boxes for the bashers. Have to say it i think this one will be a home run for Arrma and I like it a lot from the little you can see at the minute 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedef Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Does look good and could be my next basher. Arrma building up to an Xmaxx Killer?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the only one that would tempt me to actually part with my hard earned, as I said above, provided it's not £850+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My monies on it being a stretched Senton with cosmetics being the only real difference beyond making parts bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping it’s a complete new build beefier arms, hubs etc different electrics bigger diffs, maybe even reservoir shocks the whole nine yards if not then I’ll be a little deflated by it.

faffy123 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 It's completely new not based on a Senton. Mojave was one of Arrmas first vehicles. Admittedly it was 1/10th and a pile of crap. According to Arrmas designer Fabien Simonini this is all new. Will have to wait and see though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I did wonder if it was a stretched Senton, perhaps using a Kraton chassis, but you can see glimpses in the vid that it ain't no Kraton chassis. Not hating on it in my previous post, just not what I'd have liked to see. X-Maxx contender? Could still happen before December, just in time for xmas.

capri-boy Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I've heard things before from Fabian....we'll see I guess. Should ARRMA continue like this it does make me wonder where the Losi brand is headed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They jump like crap and if locked, spend most of thier time upside down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 6s would do me nicely in a rig like this. That being said, for that money you can get a nice 8th truggy, which would also suit me. Hmmm, I think a basher is needed like, just struggling with which one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

targetingxmod Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) I will have one of this... this is basically a 1/8 racing buggy in 1/7 scale buggy with a SCT body/cage! Rear locked axle/diferencials are a mistake for speed & stability. Locked rear axle/diff's are for low crawler speeds and not for speed... People nowdays just want that 6s speed and that can't be drivable on a crawler system. Dumb is who believe that crap! 1:1 racing is a diferent ball game, where size & weight count's so those systems can achieve some speed that humans can operate.... But in RC... i mean a 80kmh x 7 (1/7 scale) = 560kmh... now go drive a 1:1 car at 560kmh... you need all the help GOD can find! lol And that help is the configuration a racing buggy 1/8 have! Imagine the size of a 1:1 size shock compared to the 1/8 in real life... A single shock is bigger then a human! lol I know what a racing 1/8 buggy is and is the best RC for speed and stability. Period! If it got a SCT body and 1/7 scale...oh yeahhhhhhhhhh! Also don't forget "motocross" belted tires, like the new stuff from Proline (belted Threnchers)...those stock (which are good) are not belted and body will rubb on any 6s/8s attemp and blow either body or tire! I am all in! Just my 2 cents of this dilema!! Believe whatever you want. That's my opinion!

Tug Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Jay Tee has been uploading some good footage of this, seems tough as old boots. I've already got too many cars, definitely don't have room for this. For shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
