.AJ. Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Dementor? Jambo? Punisher? Excuse my cynicism but are they all the same thing? Or I’m I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 People thought Arrma was excessive with three truggies in the line up - Corally is now at four. Kronos, Dementor, Jambo and now Punisher. They can't all be that dissimilar, i get the "small stunt truck/Outcast, big truggy/Kraton, speed truggy/Talion" thing, but i have no idea where the Punisher is supposed to fill a gap.

Derka Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Maybe they're just trying to confuse people... Name the same vehicle a different name with a different paint job and the general public forget the v1-2 mishaps along with the silly names. No more Kronos 2021/V2, just a Punisher, Muraco and Jambo... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I actually prefer it to the other truggies though, given the Dementor was absolute garbage, Kronos seemed strong but looked ugly as sin... This seems a bit taller as well, maybe aimed at more MT style? Not used a Corally and not defending the brand, but I just like this one.

.AJ. Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 But i will say is it looks a very decent truck 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 They also should fire the guy who's coming up with the names for their trucks. I wonder if it's the same guy who thought that SEAT needs a "Formentor" in their lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeper341 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 The Jambo and Dementor are shorter wheel bases than the Kronos and Punisher. Punisher comes with a cap pack and skid rails on the roof which the Kronos doesn’t have. Basically all the same electronic components across all 4. So 2 short wheel base “stunt trucks” 2 longer wheel base “muggies”. Then there the Muraco and Shogun so 2 true truggy variants. Gives customers a choice of body shape in the truggy, muggy, stunt truck styles. I think it’s a great way to bring people in to the brand, I like muggies but didn’t like the Kronos body so would never buy in to it as if have to fork out on a new body straight away to be happy. But now there’s the Punisher, which has the skid rails and a shape/colour I prefer, I would buy this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Busby Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I actually think this is the best looking one with the least stupid name. I suppose this is kinda like the "Notorious" was to the "Outcast", in that it's just like a "Jambo" (🤦♂️) with a different shell? No chance I will buy one with the ET48 2.0 round the corner, but as long as they havent done anything absolutely ridiculous with the design, and availability is good, it should be reletively popular.
