I believe everything you've said. I'm just amazed that you're so positive about it. May I ask if you e ever owned a non arrma basher or racer? Been in the hobby a long time?
3 Losi's and an HPI.
definately one of the best brands for the money. Most other brands are more expensive so it's hard to kill that stat. I totally understand why you in your situation don't care about flaws. Probably shouldn't tell others they are wrong for caring though. Or that they are wrong about them when arrma is even admitting to it by adding the changes. Have a good one buddy.
It's all good ??? And I have no problem with the early adopters being chaffed. The only issue I have is when someone who would have gotten an aftermarket chassis anyway is complaining they they got screwed by this new bracing (not saying you are, but Facebook is full of them). No hard feelings! We are all enthusiasts!
I'm somewhat new to arrma and also new to replacing chassis so I havnt replaced mine yet. Cant justify a part that adds zero to the fun factor but costs 22% of the cost of a new truck. I've only bashed lightly but I have cracked the front bumper and bent a shock shaft. besides the loctite that's all I've personally ran into just doing backyard bashing mostly for gearing tests. When the weather changes the carnage begins. I have a nice corner berm at the local track that launches my cars 40ft or so.
You will have your supporters (or anti Bickety supporters) when it comes to this. I didn't realize this was your first Arrma. The actual upgrades needed as a percentage of the original cost of this car is less than the 6S trucks but no one will cop to that. Add up shock towers, both chassis braces, ackerman plate, a chassis and a servo mount for a 6S truck and figure out what that percentage is of $550. You might want to include the cost of replacement radio considering the STX is infinitely worse that the DX2e.
Just out of curiosity, how much/what do you think you need to put into the k8 to make it @bicketybam worthy?
Chassis and carbon fiber tubing. Roughly $230.
I compiled this list by reviewing the exploded views - screw set is not available on their page at this stage
Truly unheard of, right? ? This never happens I'm any other industry ?
any vehicle related industry? usually recall to my knowledge
They didn't label it as a flaw/recall. HH stated as such. And they are offering $65 worth of parts for $25. That's roughly the cost of a pair of suspension arms, which will eventually break.
OK, so where did you find the generic announcement/statement from Arrma/HH on the changes or that they are offering the upgraded parts to all early adopters at $25? at this stage I know that someone on here got this response from HH support which is far from generic and available to all or announced - if this is indeed the case I would say its acceptable until then ...
I think all you need to do is ask. I've seen several get this offer.
I have notice from at least 13 people outside the US where direct access to HH had not been granted so this potentially goes LHS--> distributor -->HH - not sure what the chances will be based on the different experiences people have expressed ... hence unless there is something official there is no guarantee how this is being handled
3 months after release? Serious?
What mods have you done to your K8S?
