    Team Corally Sketer XL4S MT RTR

    Sketer XP 4S RTR

     

    An Entirely New Level of 1/10 Monster Truck Performance and Durability

     

    The new Sketer XP 4WD 1/10 Scale Brushless Monster Truck from Team Corally delivers a performance experience like no other vehicle. With a 4S battery, enjoy effortless wheelies when earthbound and backflips when airborne. If a nimbler and more responsive feel is preferred, drop in a 3S pack for a truly satisfying and unique driving experience.

     

    Using a fresh, innovative design approach toward a blend of versatility and performance while remaining remarkably durable, the Sketer platform designers emphasized chassis strength and stiffness, ideal suspension travel and spring/dampener rates, and convenience details like wire routing and convenient component cooling. Using heavy-duty, overqualified components like the Torox 135 2-4S programmable ESC with low voltage LiPo protection and Kuron 725 2150Kv 4-pole brushless motor from the larger 1/8 scale Radix 4 buggy, the Sketer emphasizes best-in-class innovation and execution. Why settle for basically acceptable or merely adequate?

    Not only are the electronics considered best-in-class, but the driveline and differential components are either exactly the same part or at minimum the same material as used in Team Corally RTR 1/8-scale 6S machines. If you're looking for large-scale performance in a 1/10-scale monster bashing/stunt truck, look no further than the Sketer XP from Team Corally!

    Driving in any season, anytime, anywhere


    The Team Corally Sketer XP is equipped with water resistant electronics, making it ready for use in most conditions. Not only is the ESC resistant to splashing water and mud, but the steering servo and receiver are also weatherproofed by special water-resistant PCB coatings. Further protection and resistance to dirt, rocks, and moisture is provided by the innovative chassis splash guard system. Of course, the Sketer comes standard with high quality ball bearings with rubber seals, which means you can drive virtually anywhere and under most conditions.
    (Please note that no RC vehicle should be driven or submerged in water or mud. Be careful when driving in extreme conditions, and proper maintenance, such as cleaning and lubricating, should be performed after driven in mud, water or near salt water.)

     

    Unique Front Chassis Brace System
    The innovative front chassis brace design strengthens, supports, and connects the steering bellcranks, front bulkhead, and front shock tower into one super-strong assembly for unmatched durability and reliability. The optimal combination of aluminum and composite components allows drivers to bash with confidence knowing that the Sketer is prepared to dominate anything in its path.

     

    Center Chassis Brace
    An innovative and robust 2-piece center brace connects the bulkheads and shock towers together with durable 12mm aluminium tubes and composite sockets to create a "backbone" of enormous strength and durability between the brace and the shock tower.

     

    Massive Chassis Dirt/Moisture Guard
    The Sketer employs a rigid, tall-sided chassis guard that serves to both protect components and maintain rigidity. The high sides keep dirt, rocks, and moisture away from the motor, ESC, battery pack and fans, while a new larger receiver box with convenient cable management system delivers a tidy look to your machine.

     

    Adjustable Wheelie Bar
    The Sketer features an adjustable, mono-roller wheelie bar with multiple position choices for optimized acceleration or maximum wheelie angle at launch. The roller wheel is ball-bearing supported and delivers maximum durability thanks to its compact design.

     

    Bulletproof, Heavy-Duty Steel Drivetrain
    Fitting for a premium bashing monster, the Sketer features front, center, and rear silicone fluid-filled and sealed bevel gear differentials that deliver the full amount of available power to the ground from the 2150KV Kuron 725 motor. With easy removal and maintenance, you can even alter each differential individually to fine-tune the amount of traction in front or rear! Inside, you'll find a complete set of metal gears and Swiss-steel outdrive cups that connect to steel driveshafts. The front end of the Sketer feature hardened-steel CVD driveshafts for performance, durability, and maximum suspension travel, while the entire drivetrain is supported by high-quality 8x16x5mm rubber sealed ball bearings for minimum rolling resistance and maximum efficiency.

    Interestingly, nowhere on the data sheet for the Max10 SCT (Torox 135) on hobbywings site, does it mention 40xx size cans, only 36xx cans...  Wonder how it will cope with the 4068 in the Sketer?

     Should be fine the old sc8 Hobbywing could handle 40xx cans upto 2600kv so no reason this should struggle with the 2150 motor they pared it with

    Yes, think you're right there, and razor RC confirmed it is a 4068 but with approx 1.5mm fins, so really a '3768'. Should be fine as you say. Really like the look of this chassis, very tempted...  Think it will be either one of these, the MT8 or a used Maxx.

     Just watched his running vid truck looks very nose heavy, I can certainly see why the front bumpers are getting ripped off by the China guys.  Can’t say his running vid inspired much confidence for me to buy one. 
     

    Must admit though I’m no fan of Razor Rc the guy us full of 💩.  
     

    Truck  is engineered very well but so far looks a bit of a dog to drive.

    Agreed, it doesn't look that great with it being very nose heavy.  Know some characteristics could maybe be tweaked but it doesn't look that fun.  JayTee has a very short running video on grass and it looks to be the same handling wise.

     

    Still think the price is actually fairly decent but not sure this one is for me with me already owning a Big Rock.

    Yep watched that as well think I’m gonna pass on this one some could as you say be tweaked out but I think overall it’s not something that will suit where I wanted it for. Shame though as it does look a solid truck

    43mph on 4s as tested by JayTee .  So not a stunt truck or particularly fast.  Think he got Big Rock at 47mph on 3s.  Sure people can and will gear up but seems odd since Corally are normally the ones with ballistic speed out of the box.

    But while this may weigh as much as a typical 1/8 6S buggy, it doesn't have quite the same power under the hood.  Think a max8 would wake it up, seems to work with the Maxx and they're near enough identical size & weight (stock).

    Corally to be fair run an aggressive firmware usually which mean they’re ‘normally’ more powerful than their HW counter part. 
     

    The thing Im confused about in this thread is the comparisons to a 1:8th 6S Buggy. Words like handling and speed are being thrown around. Thats not the point of this surely? If you want that sort of thing, get a 1:8th buggy. 
     

    This is a truck, a cheaper, potentially better version of the Traxxas Maxx. A Traxxas Maxx performs worse in every department to a 1:8th Buggy. Its slower, handles worse, and in the Maxx’s case, more expensive.  But you know what, its far more fun. Hence why I own 2x Maxx’s, and zero 1:8th Buggys. 
     

    My Maxx with a 2200kv on 4s did 49mph, GPS verfied. For what its meant to be used for, this is more than fast enough. In a huge flat open space, you notice it could do with another 5/10mph. But if Im in a huge flat open space Im not going to be using a Monster Truck am I?

    Seems to fly much better in this vid vs the Razor one

     

     Yep no nose dives or nothing in that vid but I wonder how it ripped its front bumper off so it could drift around it 😂👍

     I think it’s getting compared more to a flat pan chassis design as that’s what it is the Maxx on the other hand is nothing like a flat pan chassis design . This is  not what I’d call a hcg monster truck like the Maxx at all if anything this Is more like a buggy with big wheels as that’s basically what it is with a wheelie bar rather than a rear wing

    I'm also a bit confused with all the speed talk going on about this car,  Not wishing to talk for everybody here, But I thought most of us were passed the 'Hey mister, How fast dose it go'.

    It's a truck for jumping, It's a truck for having fun with, But one of the main gripe's seems to be that it's not very fast in a straight line, Sorry but if the main complaint is that I can't hit that skate ramp at 55mph then you deserve every broken arm and bent chassis you get.

    Know not everyone was in agreement but JayTee has posted a video with this on a 15t pinion and I would say it has woken it up and is the speed that I at least expected from a 4s truck.  He hasnt mentioned any other tweaks but it also looks less nose heavy in jumps than his initial runs.

     He didn’t want to show how hot it got though ! Woke it up but at what cost 🤷🏻‍♂️

    With anything bigger than buggy wheels a 68mm can motor will overheat in no time, even if only over geared by 1 tooth…..

    I’ve just looked at the weight of the Sketer vs the Radix 4, which has the same electrics, the Sketer weighs 900g more, that’s pretty much 2lb… I would say the electrics are on their limit in the Sketer, a true truggy/mt (74mm can) combo would have been a much better choice imo

    Yep agreed but sadly they didn’t leave any wiggle room by the looks so you got zero chance of shoe horning anything bigger in it. It would come over like Corally like to gear to the max out the box from last trucks can’t see this one being different

    I hear what you're saying re the combo / 4068 can size - in theory I agree 100%, but what about the standard can in a Maxx? That's only a 36mm can, only 2mm longer than the sketer can, and higher kv, in a truck that's another 200 odd grams heavier again. And you don't read lots about those motors going up in smoke? Maybe just leave it at 13t pinny, and up the punch a little, still probably plenty fast enough for most compact areas I get to run my rcs in.

    Stay on stock gearing and it will probably be fine, but who in this hobby doesn’t  just stick a big pinion on and say sod it 🤣🤣🤣

    Haha

     

    Jaytee must have been listening!

     

    Max8, 6s, 20 tooth pinion, standard motor, 66mph at 3/4 throttle, as he puts it.

     

    Corally has an upgraded 6s transmission in here, with all of their recent HD upgrades, which would cost near £100 for a Kronos V1 or V2. I know, as I fitted most of them to the Kronos I recently sold.

     

    I don’t need one of these, though had it been available 6 months ago would certainly been on any shortlist I may have been making at the time. I  can’t help but hope it is as solid and reliable as it looks.

     

    Cheers

    I just picked mine up last night, haven’t run it but it looks good. It’s definitely quite a bit bigger then the standard 3660 motors in my granite / BR  and other 3s Arrmas.  It’s longer and thicker< I get 39mm at the heat fin,  2 mm less then the TC or spectrum 8th scale motors. It weighs in at a hefty 10 pounds, .5 less then my new v2 max and only a hair under 2 pounds less then my Kronos… a decent amount of that  has to be tires and power system!  I’m thinking this rig is geared low and I’m thinking  my  upgrade path starts with installing a basic 6s ESC , Probably a inexpensive Ezrun 150  Hobby wing  and a decent fan set up, maybe running a tooth or 2 down if temps are still too high with the fan. It should still be a easy 50 mph car off-road. If the little koran725  doesn’t work  well on 6s then a full size take of motor like the spectrum 2050 will take care of it.  The rig looks spectacular mechanically, I really like the tires, pivot ball hubs, all the braving, it’s built like a brick **** house, so  I don’t see upgrading anything but the power plant, so even if I have to replace the motor and esc. It’s not too bad. The  ezruns can be had from china for 60 ish and Jenny’s sells the spectrum 2050’s for $45, so all in $110 isn’t bad  and the  old 4s power system makes a great upgrade for a 3s rig.  Considering most RC’s need a few parts that usually wind up at least $100 m this thing will rip and be tough at 6s and should perform much better on 6s in the air also. 
    ‘now the body looks even uglier in person, I feel like they hired a ugly consultant. I like TC, but there styling can be so hit or miss…. The radix is beautiful, the punisher is my favorite body in class, but the shogun, jumbo, and this body look like someone was purposely trying to ugly the rigs up
