An Extreme Bash toughened suspension system smooths the ride, with a steel rear suspension mount and adjustable oil-filled shocks mounted on 7075 T6 anodized aluminum front and rear shock towers.

mond Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 That looks impressive. Totally down with the buy once and not need aftermarket stuff to use it as intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumper Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 We have 2 threads on the same thing XD Yeah if I was m2c or just bash it or m3 I would be a bit worried right now. Saying that though plenty of people bought the rtr hyper St as well as the pro version and they still up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few videos already of them breaking on youtube. They're not tougher. I think they do this to end the "discussion" about Arrmas bending, which is damaging to the brand. That said: this thing looks pretty bad-arse, and if nothing goes majorly wrong, it's an addition to my garage. Did feel the itch to build for a while now, but couldn't be bothered with another crawler. This is perfect. Just hoping the price is reasonable. edit: $470 on the HH website. Translates probably to £470. edit2: damn, misread - not a kit, but a roller Edited July 2, 2020 by m4inbrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumper Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) you can get a tekno nt48.3 kit atm for £480, but that more of a race truggy and its about to be replaced. Edited July 2, 2020 by Jumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4inbrain Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Of course it's stuperbash, didn't even look at title or anything, just peeked into the first video. Already in love. edit: watched both videos, shocking that a cracked body was the only casualty for RC DUDE. Yeah, i'll have one.

Tug Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Jaytee getting in on the act. Certainly took some abuse. Rear wing mount still broke, really needs a nylon type that bends a little more. Some horrible landings on to those protruding kerb stones! Yet nothing bent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 £430 is almost kit money and this is a pre built roller Arrma finally sort out the truck make it like folks want and remove the electrics meaning the roller with electrics will be more like the £650 mark if you want some half decent electrics again that’s almost kit money Hmm is this really the steal they want you to think it is 🤷🏻♂️ Is this a sign Arrma has finally peaked as all they seem to be capable of doing is re releasing the same old trucks time and time again and let’s be honest even the hard core fans will have there v4 kraton better spec’d out than these so why would they buy it 🤷🏻♂️ Great to see Arrma finally fix the flaws but it’s certainly not a cheap fix fir sure 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
