    Communications protocol and actual application programming are 2 very different things as we can see from the results of how this radio performs. Spektrum makes some good radios. Many of the guys who race swear by them, but this RTR radio is junk sadly. For what I do (speed runs) I need the...

    That is a pretty good deal considering the V4 Kraton is $549.00 The only big improvement that people have liked on the new model was the re-design of the motor mount/center diff. The center tower to tower brace is controversial at best. (some like it some don't) Over all the older models with...

    The factory v4 radio is problematic with that throttle control switch. Forward power in the esc is 0-100% brake is 0-50% (default may be something like 37%. when you dial the TX down to 50% reverse is gone. It is a 15.00 radio system and needs replaced before the car is ever used. The older...

    In some ways I'd say going with a new 6s Arrma is too much RC for someone new to the hobby or has been out for a long time. BUT honestly the cost of replacement parts is great and its one of the toughest RTR cars out there. Both are important things for someone new. I wish someone had steered...

    Just an FYI these 6s models are pretty lame on 4s. Something in the ESC tuning I suspect. Also parts are interchangeable so you can always make that Typhon a stretched chassis or swap in A-Arms and axle shafts to make it a kraton etc... Be sure to pick up some good MIP hex wrenches. Arrma...

    I suppose that answer is subjective and you would get many answers on this but I will give you my opinion. The Senton is very narrow. It is actually the most narrow of all the 6s lineup. Many guys report that it traction rolls often. Also the suspension travel is rather short so it wouldn't...

    Arrma 6s line is about as tuff as RTR RCs get! Very worth the price and parts are both cheap and easily accessed. I have found a few deals used with lipos and charger. Might be worth looking at. Most people have determined the V4 models radios are junk but a 40.00 replacement will resolve...
