Hey guys
Decided I fancy a new RC, just unsure what so looking for some feedback. Got a basket loaded and an itchy debit card
I've narrowed it down to 3. I am looking for something smaller and lighter than my current fleet as I have been having so much fun with my daughters Granite 4x4 I've been taking with me to the skatepark.
Option 1 is the v2 Kraton 4s. Pros: the cheapest of the 3 I have posted, I like Arrma's and from what I have seen it looks like a great handling bit of kit. Cons: Slipper clutch is putting me off. I am also going to have to buy new batteries as the 4s I have don't fit negating the cheaper entry point.
Option 2 is a Widemaxx (as it's called in the UK). Pros: I have a rake of 6700mAh Traxxas 4s batteries from when I sucked the Traxxas teat getting back into the hobby. They seem pretty bulletproof. I already have the X so the mini one would be cool. Cons: I don't really like Traxxas I have come to realise, I am a lot of money into my X for something that handles like a wheelie bin and bounces around awkwardly, worried the Widemaxx is going to be much of a muchness just on a smaller scale.
Option 3 is a bit of an oddball. An E-Revo 2.0. More of a hangover from lusting after the original 2.5 Revo when it was released when I was a teenager. I guess pros are I love how they look and handle and I have plenty of 3s batteries that will fit, cons are they seem insanely fragile.
Any other suggestions are welcome! Just to rule out a couple; the MT10 is out of stock till the V2 is released and an MT410 isn't a go due to struggling to find them and parts easily in the UK.
Many thanks
Ross
