My Kronos GTR story starts here...Having read all sorts of stuff about issues with pivot balls and carriers, I was keen to see if they are the revised, stronger version or the ones that fall off. It's quite difficult to tell and I was looking for reinforcement webbing - but they look the same.The body has clips and tethers pre-fitted. This surprised me as early reviewers complained that they had to fit them themselves.Suspension is silky smooth, no rubbing of springs on shock bodies and no air in the shock oil.Steering is super free and with zero slop.Nothing looks cheap or poorly put together.All that being said, I personally would still have preferred putting it together myself. I still need to choose my electronics etc, so it would not have bothered me spending a few hours building this car and getting to know it.Make no mistake, whilst I find it quite difficult these days to get ultra excited about an RC car, this is a remarkable rig - it really is.1/8th scale is a sweet spot size-wise for off road trucks and buggies. Large enough to run on un-prepared ground, but small enough to have low weight.The Kronos XTR is certainly in that zone but it's bigger and heavier than my Xray XT8 at around 4000g. Considering the bracing and over-engineered everything,, it's still impressively light.The chassis looks absolutely sub-zero cool. My first upgrades will be carbon parts for the A arms and steering plate.Receiver is on the way. I'm still open minded about what Motor and ESC to use, but I'm very tempted to try the Kuros 185 motor and Corally ESC. Obviously, if you guys here think that there are better combo's to be had, please feel free to point me in the right direction. I'll take some more pictures tomorrow. But so far, I'm very impressed and can't wrap my head around such negativity towards this outstanding rig.

I've recently got an asuga and I've been bashing it, drifting it and a rc drag event is going to happen near September, the issue is the tyres keep ballooning and the car doesn't have much traction but still puts the power down very well on a 18t pinion I've also orded a 46t spur which tyres should I go with, I've heard foams are very good for speedruns and drag racing but wear out more quickly than rubber tyres.

I recently got the Asuga XLR roller. Here is an owners club for discussion about this model.

Had this arrive today Ive posted it on this forum, because to me it’s not really a Monster Truck, call me old school but it’s just a Truggy with big wheels... So is it possibly a Muggy??? Hmmm.... Maybe,, But the og Losi Muggy had LST MT gearbox’s mated to a flat chassis, so it’s not really one of them either 😂 Anyway first impressions are most excellent, Ill be giving it a good going over and for some reason it comes with grease in the diffs so I’ll be stripping it all down to sort that 👍
