Been in the hobby for a while, my son has been with me in it for the past 4 or 5. Looking for a less-hassle way to bash around our yard.
Our nitro Savage has been great, but now the engine is getting old in its years, clutch is wearing, etc. Figured maybe a good time to get something new from the start, and brushless because we've never done it before.
Pretty interested in the Kraton 6S. I know they are up to V4 but it seems to get some dings because of that (radio, brace/chassis bending, etc). To me the only other alternatives are another Savage, would be the XL Flux, or *maybe* the Emaxx (I have trust issues with Traxxas so its a pretty distant 3rd on the list)
Has anyone cross shopped the Kraton, XL Flux and Maxx?
I know the Flux is "old" but that could mean "good" because its tried and tested by now. But the Kraton gets good ratings for bashing (other than the "improvements" with V4 which I know are fixable at some point)
Thanks in advance.
