CML are getting a full stock of parts in and even if we need to buy something from Belgium, coming out of the EU isn't going to put prices up much if at all once the dust has settled. They are even making their own hop up parts which is nice. If we don't support smaller companies and create competition in the market place, Horizon are just going to keep releasing lower quality cars each year knowing people will buy them anyway as there is no alternative. I'm going to take a punt with the Kronos and fingers crossed I'm pleasantly surprised Please post up your experiences, would be really interested to know how they stack up!

Jumper Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) well these arent going well at all XD as it turns out having a solid rear bumper doesn't go well. Edited January 28, 2020 by Jumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Busby Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Dodgy servo, dodgy radio, bendy chassis, diffs need tuning.... this is sounding quite familiar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much do you think you’d get for a roller? Motor and ESC are rebranded HW though if I’m not mistaken? Might as well just buy that new and save the hassle, they’re not that expensive.

m4inbrain Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Wow. That 6s jump that broke it (if it broke there) was laughable. He didn't show the landing, but that was barely 5 feet high. That's very disappointing. That wasn't a crash that should've caused any damage, and the damage was quite substantial. Meh.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Busby Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 The only other thing I have seen with these was on Kev’s channel, someone had the Python at ARC raceway I think. Also broke almost immediately. Not a great start for the platform. They seem to drive nicely, which you would hope given the pedigree, but clearly need a v2 or some upgrades. Having a decent Servo and Radio was all they needed to do to set themselves aside from the Arrmas of this generation, but they even ballsd that up.

fnknan Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Swear it was the Kronos in Kev's video? Either way, it broke easily. I think it's still too early to write it off but it's not looking great. Would be cool if traxxas wasn't the only company using plastic in the chassis for their high end cars, I think a lot more cars could benefit from a bit more plastic here and there, *cougharrma* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s actually a whole Facebook group and so far no one has had this much bad luck with there’s . Also there’s a lot of German guys running these with great results which seems odd if there really as bad as this guy would have you believe Team Corally Bashers UK if you’re interested 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 This vid features the Kronos, takes quite a beating with only a cracked rear wing mount, and let's be honest that a lot of cars suffer from that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
