Scottyb Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I do like all the improvements and upgrades they are bringing out and how fast they are coming now but it's getting expensive. I've already upgraded a bit like the drive cups and stuff but looking at everything else i want it's close to £200 lol I imagine it will be a pretty bullet proof rig after the upgrades though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 @Scottyb @SWF you 2 need to stop posting on this thread, i keep looking at this car and making me want one 😄 the one swf has looks a really good bargain! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottyb Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I think people have been steering clear of them coz of some of the ****posting/slating vids on youtube. Yes i had a bit of a strop when i first got mine coz it broke ridiculously fast but since the new hubs it's been on par / better than my Hyper VS which took an absolute pasting. If you can get one for around £300 they are an absolute bargain and insanely good / fast / fun for the money. I would snap SWF's up just for spares but can't afford it with christmas coming. His really is a steal and i'm surprised no one has ripped his hand off yet! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) Before i got my Kronos i was going to go for a Kraton Then the Kronos came out and i preferred the look of that over the Kraton so started looking at Kronos v Kraton vids and although the Kronos did break the Kraton didnt seem to fair as well as the Kronos in the vids i saw Then my son @Yrkoon jumped in and got a v1 Kronos lol so i waited on the v2's to come out and got 1 Were both very pleased with the Corally offering tho Edited December 4, 2021 by Stormbringer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horatio Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I'm a bit late to the party, but pulled the trigger on an XTR in November. I detailed my build on another forum but have recently imported that thread here. The Kronos is a high value platform from what I gather and the XTR merely adds some 7075 alloy and some other bling to the mix. Torox/Kuron 825 ESC/Motor combo is surprisingly potent when compared to other companies offerings. Whilst based on a Max 8 ESC, the TC branded stuff certainly rips. Pillow Balls had a tendancy to pull out of the hub's and/or wishbones with some people, though not all. New revised hubs were put into production, though new Kronos still have the original items. That being said, Corally ship the revised items gratis to new owners with a valid receipt. These trucks are exactly what the market needs. Some of the videos on YouTube are laughable. People need to maintain their critical thinking and understand what motivates people to do what they do. I'm very particular with my RC's and the XTR hasn't disappointed in any way. I've been very open and honest with my appraisal, as you can read here: Kronos XTR Build My last major build was a Team Xray XT8, the quality of which is often considered a bench mark. Yet the XTR has still impressed me in numerous ways. I think it's a great rig. 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottyb Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 New XTR looks ace, reasonably priced too considering the amount of "upgrades" on ithttps://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003662285244.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
