Although I like to support my hobby shop, I won't depend on them to order parts and kits or rtrs because they don't have stock. I usually order myself and lose the middle man in the equation. You will get product faster always. Why make a LHS order if you can do the same thing they do with a computer. Ship times are usually longer than if you order yourself. And amain among others ship free on some things and discount coupons sometimes work depending on the product brand you are buying.

The green and red would be the mega 4x4 brushed versions, for the record. The orange body is the brushless blx 3s version.

Right right.

Out of stock everywhere in Europe, waaah. ?
Just as I decided that I don't need one of the 6s monstrosities and settled for a Granite 3s BLX as my go fast truck, and was ready to order.

Oh man, do you think thay the new batch will come with Spektrum radio gear? I always wanted a ttx300 ever since I tried it on my buddies Wraith, best RTR radio ever. Even thought of buying a couple for my other RCs. OTOh, the DX2e I had I did not like one bit.

 

[Jerry-rigged]

No worries, no DX2E in the new models.

They will come with the even crappier STX2. ???

Would the receivers be compatable with other Spectrum transmitters, like say the dx5c or dx5 rugged?

 

[Jerry-rigged]

No, the STX2 use FHSS instead of DSMwhatever...

I was thinking on getting a DX5 rugged, but was really hoping to not to need a new $50 RX for every new Arrma.

Yeah, I know you can get the Orange and Lemon RX, but...

Welcome to Chinese supply chain...............

Welcome to Chinese supply chain...............

Its weird to me though. My dad has been into RCs for a year or so, and he owns a few Redcats. They have actually been really durable for him, but I steered clear because I always worried about parts availability and stuff because China. Im just surprised with one of the "bigger" companies like Arrma has an issue with this. Then again I am very new to this so I don't know how common this is.

Wonder what happened to the Mid April intro.
