Hi,
Im looking for some advice on what to do. I am fairly new to the hobby. I first bought a granite brushed and the motor died 3 times then bought a kraton 6s v4 but the ecu started playing up after about 5 runs! I got fed up with fixing it so I sold it on and bought a 3s big rock...... first run the ECU died.
Im getting abit fed up with Arrma at the moment and I am debating spending abit more and getting something like a E Revo 2.0 or a 4x4 rustler, I like the way the body comes off and they look like more "fun" cars as in back flips and so on. After abit of research myself I see there seems to be more part availability in the uk and also cheaper for replacement parts.
This was another issue with the kraton is that the parts seemed expensive and harder to get hold of, or I might not have been looking in the right places....
So from what I have seen the Traxxas is more expensive but the parts are easily available and cheaper or the arrma is cheaper but parts are harder and more expensive to get hold of.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Annoyingly I sold my kraton as spares or repair and lost quite abit without realising it had a two year warranty on the ecu.... at the moment I have the big rock that im getting a replacement ECU sent out and my brushed granite (now brushless with a £25 set from banggood) for the kids. Debating selling the big rock and putting it towards a Revo.
Things that I want to know about Traxxas is how is the warranty in the UK? as when I spoke to arrma directly in Germany for the ecu they just didn't care and where not that helpful, there aftersales team are not great in my opinion.
Thanks in advance
