Kpowell911 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Not got one, but if it wasnt for me disliking Arrma/Horizon and liking Traxxas so much, itd be the first RC id buy. They look fantastic! Id prefer it as a roller but hey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look fantastic! Id prefer it as a roller but hey In fairness I quite fancy Traxxas it’s just the price that’s a bit off putting. I’m looking at getting two 1/8th scales, one for me and the other for the old man. I can get two Arrmas that suit us for just over a grand. I’d be getting a max and a revo I think otherwise.

Kpowell911 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I thought the Talion EXB was £700ish? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 If I was looking to buy a 1/8 I would chose one of these 👍 Truggy - Corally Kronos XTR Buggy - Hobao VS2e 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is but it fits with what we have already (Lipo wise) without sacrificing warranty etc. I was going to hit up MS for a cheeky deal possibly for a Kraton and a Talion. Haven’t fully made up my mind yet as I’m still awaiting funds from selling a load of old reenactment gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have considered the Hyper SSTE though would need the connectors changing to fit the EC5 lipos we’re using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Truggy wise the corally shogun or kronos are worth a look but again yould have to change esc connectors 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m lazy and want to be able to run right off the bat! Also like to keep a warranty in tact for as long as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in two minds about traxxas but not because of any preconceptions as I’ve been out of the loop long enough to miss all the Arrma carry on. Anyway as I mentioned I’ve not made up my mind fully yet and may end up in the Traxxas side of things!

BashingBrian Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Talion EXB should have been a roller.!! I love my Arrma's (not a fanboy) but Spektrum electronics SUCK..!! I would suggest a Kronos XTR, go with the Talion EXB if you're willing to swap out electronics before you've even run it.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
