turok007 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 So it's a speed racer but then show it in a skate park and on dirt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 if it can...why not. They do seem to have taken steps to keep the dirt out of the main chassis tub, and the driveline looks quite well enclosed. Would be cool with a more rally orientated shell on it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorrylemming Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Something is just a bit off about both of them visually. The 6S infraction and felony look amazing but these aren't quite there. I think the vendetta needs the cab slightly further forward and infraction needs the wheels offsetting out a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kpowell911 Posted October 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2021 First of all, they do look very cool, I like the look of these a lot. HOWEVER! Last I checked, Arrma (not the only company with this issue) are having massive supply issues for their current range, with lots of out of stocks etc. If I was an owner of say a current 3S Model, and waiting for parts Id be pretty miffed that Arrma are concentrating on getting a new RC out, before dealing with current issues. It surely wouldnt give me the confidence to purchase a newer model. This is a subject @Tomley RC touched on in his interview with this forum. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DanFlux Posted October 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2021 I know Arrma are held in much higher regard than makes such as Maverick, but the new Maverick quantum flux r is also 1/8 on road but 4S capable, and priced considerably less, maybe some competition. I am liking these on road bashers , giving people more choice than something more dedicated. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you're saying, but this time I think Arrma are taking the pi55 with that price, it's just crazy and personaly I'm sure that the Maverick will be a better buy, it's definitely got much better spec..!! I'm really tempted to get the Maverick..!!😉 Edited October 21, 2021 by BashingBrian 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would of liked to see Arrma do a proper 1/5th scale on road car or possibly go the opposite way with a proper 1/10th or even 1/12th scale car but with less plastic parts & more quality carbon fibre or aluminium bits. Not that plastic is all bad but just there is alot of it on those models especially at those price points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BashingBrian Posted October 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2021 @GMballistic Both you and I have Arrma's but I think I'm done with them going forward, I will be widening my brands soon 😎 Recently Arrma is turning into the suckers brand, I blame HH to be honest. Nothing is in stock it's all over priced and don't even start me on the Spektrum junk they fit in everything lately ..!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should always try different brands. 😉 If Arrma make something I like, can afford, "need" and want then I'd most likely buy it but then that goes for any manufacturer tbh. I never stick to one brand as there are just so many different RC's I'd like to try from lots of different manufacturers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 These look interesting but I don't think I'm going to be any other Arrma cars either tbh, unless there's something that really catches my eye. I loved my Infraction V2 and Felony but I don't think the quality is there for the price you pay. Also the difference in the quality control between the Infraction V2 and Felony was pretty significant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizon are just as bad if not worse than Traxxas, yet get off scott free on social media. Theyve completely destroyed Arrma. Theyve took over an exciting, reasonably priced and innovative brand, infected it with overpriced Spektrum electronics, disregarded existing models and hiked the price up an obscene amount. Classic Horizon. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RcBEN9 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 The prices & junk electrics means Arrma's are for the fanboys only, really. Seems to be plenty of them around though....😐 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
