Been using the nero 6s since it first came out. It is worth every penny. 1nce a battery door opened after a mega air..broke 2 pushrod ball ends..thats it..just check out my YT...

 

The new Big Rock have HD joints, HD shock shafts and ball ends...and are also worth the 140 extra..

 

 

 

You would say this and more being sponsored by Arrma and getting yours free for review so it's no wonder your going to big it up fella.

 

Vaz from Aussie RCplayground totally destroyed his on a heavy landing 

 

Yes before you ask I've seen your vids 

 

If you had of paid for one then I might take your views more serious but being given something then asked to promote it always make me question wether you'd be straight up or not as the all saying goes don't bite the hand that feeds you ! 

I know we don't always see eye to eye md but I agree with u on this 1 and I'm glad to see you state the obvious here.  I tried the sane on urc more delicately and got my op on TP blasted by him brothers in arms. 

 

Vas also gets all his Arrma vehicles given too though.... My ears pricked up on that when I commented that he'd not got the xmaxx and his response was the cost.... So traxxas does not give him anything it seems.... But he's owned near every arrma... Hmmmmmm. 

 

Move been given some freebies myself... We r discussing this at the mo. I mianed plenty about those cracked wheels tho...and will continue to do so when review vid appears. 

 

Back to to this arrma tho. It is a cool looking rc and it sounds like it has improved over the Nero but I thought that was expensive.... So my views on this are def no better. I can't really see why you'd go for this over a kraton. Unless u had money to burn?

I don't know why people can't be more objective about these instead of get all defensive about brands. Buy what is good value for money, perceived or real but tying yourself to one particular brand and defending even the indefensible is quite silly. 

People will get defensive if they have spent £800 on a rc....even if its a pile of poop!

Forget the Nero.....when it comes to Arrma you want the Kraton or Talion....brilliant bashers.

 

The typhon too, in my opinion is a hell of a tough car.

the nero has issues  but we will have to wait and see if they get sorted. 

Does any rig not have "issues"?

yes     also all depends on the issues  as if a servo is weak you can just change it. but if it is a design issue then you have to work round it or put up with it.   the rc car world seems to be getting like the gaming market.  lol

More like a gambling market! Hit or miss if a design is good.

The TLR 8ight T 3.0's only issue is it's imperial. Does that count?

If the basic design is good but needs tweaking here and there to get it right that's one thing but if you to have to start making major alterations to the basic design to get it to work properly then is it worth the time and money......No. However until someone actually gets their hands on one it's all just speculation. For that sort of money I'd hope it would work straight out of the box and would't need anything major doing to it.

 

So who is going to order one?

Glad to hear you opinion sir. Recived a car or not, i never show my crashes. If people do not bealive me they dont. The reason is simple i have never done it, cuz i do not like it. 

 

I do crash, trust me i do. But i can not do anything about that i rearly break any parts on my cars spec the Nero 6s

 

Ofcourse my cars breaks, they do, but not much at all..for example my Nero..i read meters after meters that people breaking pushrod ball ends, shock ball ends, rocker arm posts...what can i do but dissagre that the car only breaks, cus for me it does not.

 

The Kraton 6s is the car that i have bought most spares for..lower arms and shock shafts..never any problem with diffs, gearbox cases, towers..

 

But to please you and all other that doubts on my honesty, i will make a crash vid from every single vid that i make from now . 

 

Been doing this for 34 years..racing for more then 10 years, im sure something of that gives me a little + on how i run my car, but i might be wrong.

 

Just ended a superb session lots of flips doubleflips..landed on 4 wheels.on the nose, 1 wheel,roof..the only thing i broke. Was 2 bodyposts..but..then it is freezing here in Sweden now :-)

 

Best regards

I'm not doubting you bust them I'm not doubting you have great knowledge and I'm not doubting your driving skills I am doubting wether you would sacrifice your relationship with Arrma to deliver anything other than praise. 

 

Guess that's something guys will need to decide for themselves
