Thanks for letting me know Stimpy. I did see your rear bumper for sale before posting. My priority is the front bumper as I'm going to let my 5 year old let loose on the car (in an open field). Ideally I'd like the rear bumper to match the front one. If you still had the front I would have snapped them both up. If I find another T-Bone front I'll get back to you on the rear bumper.

The trucks are all back in stock with retailers today. They all appear to be V4 models. I've read that the bumper upgrade is a must on the V4.

I ordered my first RC car today: an Arrma Kraton 6s. I'm desperately looking for bumper upgrades but everywhere is out of stock. If anyone has any for sale or knows where I can get some please let me know.

I prefer the krayton over the talion. Am prepared to wait for them to come back in.

Thanks for the advice. Ill consider it. I was reluctant to by used as i wont know what abuse its previously taken and i dont have the experience to know what signs to look for in terms of damage and abuse. I was first considering a new krayton 4s but my logic is to spend that little bit extra on the 6s. Ive budgeted for batteries, charger nd new remote.

I've seen the 8s in stock but I'm after a 6s. Can't find one anywhere, which is what sparked my curiosity about the Krayton 6s v5.

Do they not release a new version every year?

Hi everyone, I want to start by providing a little bit of background. I am completely new to the world of RC and up until a few weeks ago I was not considering this as a hobby, only because I haven't been exposed to it. I had not heard of Arrma, Traxxas or any other brand. Then around two weeks ago I randomly came across this video which sparked my interest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmS7hKnmaOs In that video the speed of the Mojave was impressive and triggered me to explore RC cars further. I have since watched a shed load of videos from a whole bunch of channels and read many posts on multiple forums (including this one). I have concluded that I'm purchasing my first RC car, which will be an Arrma Krayton 6s. Whilst doing my research I looked at many of the retailers (mainly Modelsport) for prices and availability. Up until last week they had the Krayton 6s in stock but now it has sold out, not just from Modelsport but from everywhere. Modelsport and some other sites state that stock is due in early June. I noticed that youtube videos of krayton 6s v4 were released March/April 2019 and that got my curiosity going.... Will the stock arriving early June be the Krayton 6S v5? Have Krayton or other models completely sold out everywhere in the past? Or is everyone buying RC cars to keep them entertained during the lockdown period? Also, any thoughts on pricing of the new stock. Do prices tend to go up when new stock or new versions arrive? Modelsport currently sell the Karyton 6s for £469 but the RRP is £509.99 Any thought from more experienced members are highly appreciated.
