Paul Busby Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 So this is basically a Kraton, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 £440. https://alshobbies.co.uk/CORALLY-KRONOS-XP-6S-MONSTER-TRUCK-18-LWB-BRUSHLESS-RTR-C-00170?search=kronos Too much for clone, for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Under the shell looks a little different but wouldn’t it be funny if these where actually better 🤣🤣. Be worth ever penny if that where the case 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 they did reply to a youtube comment an confirmed that it comes with a fully blown max8 esc with all the options, no a quicrun like the arrma with limited options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 2 minutes ago, Jumper said: they did reply to a youtube comment an confirmed that it comes with a fully blown max8 esc with all the options, no a quicrun like the arrma with limited options. That's correct, currently writing a small write up for people who're interested - a german channel already went into detail on the truck but youtube auto-subtitles suck. I'll post it in 20 minutes, still watching the video. Looks actually better than expected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 rear brace looks interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) Depends. I might be wrong here since i have never heard of Team Corally before these two announcements, but i'm pretty sure that aftermarket and spares availability would favour Arrma. (edit: answer to Doddy, and before i saw the video) The Kronos shares the differentials with the buggy. ESC full fledged Max8, no limited settings. Instant point of concern for me, the chassis is even narrower than on the Kraton - but it has three chassis braces for the rear. One from diff to the middle of the chassis, and two 45 degree shock tower braces. A Arms upper and lower both can be ordered in singles, and they're symmetrical, can be mounted on both sides. The entire truck has sealed bearings. Front CVD, rear dog bones. Shocks outer/inner diameter 19mm/16mm, full metal, wall thickness 1.5mm. Adjustable servo saver. Bumper from "POS" confirmed (never heard of them). Pinion cover, only open slightly on the bottom. Comes with mount for a transponder. XT90 connectors. Four screws to take out center diff, 6 screws to take out front/rear due to stabilisers. Beefiest wing mount i've seen so far on a truggy. Optional "clip on splash walls" (hard to explain, basically increasing the height of the tub wall, if that makes sense?). Infos taken from this (german) video. I'll be honest, i'm actually quite impressed after seeing this. If parts are readily available (no idea on that one, never even seen a team corally before), certainly worth a thought. edit: scratch my comment about the wingmount, apparently in the first promo video you can see the wing fly off, which was subsequently pulled and edited. Apparently still circulating in Arrma facebook groups though. Edited October 27, 2019 by m4inbrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I was aware of Corally years back when I used to race, but couldn't give anymore info than that. As far as I'm aware they were respected within the racing community. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Corally have been around for donkeys years, mainly they do high end onroad and pan car kits, they also have a big line in electronics and pit equipment. MB Models stock a lot of their stuff. I’ve got one of their transmitter cases for my 4PM 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Well what about that the closer you look the better it is and not quite the clone you think, I’d say it’s worthy of the price tag in today’s market. Thought I’d heard of these guy before somewhere so thanks AJ for clearing that up 👍 Regarding parts support if it’s a solid truck it won’t need the support as much but it is annoying waiting weeks for parts if it’s your only rig. Great to here MB Models are a stockist as I dare say they would be able to get parts in for people 👍👍👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Most current trucks on the market are "solid". They become a little less solid once you drive them like mad, that's when bending, breaking etc is happening. After seeing the video, i actually quite like this, though i still think it's moronic to call them Python and Kronos. I'd need to look into spares, i'm not that much in need for "hop ups", but spares (all of them) have to be readily available before i consider this. My XXL2e was a disaster (well, maybe not that bad - but not great) and that regard, and it made me baby the truck. Not the greatest thing for a basher to do. The only MB models i can find (maybe the wrong one?) just stocks Corally pit maps, but no kits of any sorts - someone got a link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Loads of Corally parts on there, but none of their kits https://www.rccarshop.co.uk/?keyword=Corally&limitstart=0&option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=0 Corally’s website https://corally.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Yeah that was the page, not much in terms of spares - 3/4 there is batteries etc. That said, we'll see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking racer Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Hi all At least I'm one of them who will get one as soon as available. I really like what I see, and I'm sure it will be a good truggy.
