Kraton It's Here!!!!

[roondog]

I was waiting like an addict for FedEx all day. Gave up and then the doorbell rang at dinner. Step outside and two guys are trying to bring a kids plastic house up to my door. I was thinking what nightmare is this? So I said yeah that's not mine. They looked quite puzzled and went back and rummaged around. A few minutes later they said oh yeah this is yours. Well it's here and I will have to open it and take pictures tomorrow.

Lol, there's hardly any difference between the Kraton and a kids playhouse.

Can't beat a nice new "toy" being delivered to your door.

Perfect

This thing is gorgeous!

Well I got my first bash in. I didn't break anything! I'm in love with this truck. I did notice one thing odd. I would lose control to both steering and throttle intermittently at various distances. The batteries in my TX were freshly charged. It would only lose signal for a second or two, but I was concerned I might hit kids at the park so I called it a day. Time to look it over. Has anyone had a similar experience with their vehicle?

it looks good man... does the brace make the chassis feel stiffer?

 

[roondog]

I can't say because I don't have anything to compare it to. To me it seems solid but I couldn't say how that is compared to V3.

Congratulations! Those pics never get old

Congrats!!!

Congratulations! Mine should be here today or tomorrow...the wait is killing me!

Keep us posted on that signal issue you were having. About how far away was it when you'd lose the signal? Have you solved the issue or reached out to Arrma yet?

Edit, that other thread was yours too...

It was various distances. From 10 ft up to maybe 50ft or so. It happened again after I took a break. At this point it's concerning as I don't want to lose control and crash into something or someone. I sent am email to Arrma Support.

This is the second report I have heard of radio glitching... v4s been out less than a week. humm..

Where did you hear about the other reported issue? Curious to see if what they experienced was the same as me.

Another thread here... not sure which one. Maybe I read your thread twice.

Yeah I did create a separate thread specific to he issue as I was curious if this has happened to other models. I'm a little bummed out. I haven't wrecked it but don't really feel like I can bash it right now. So I'll have to see what Arrma recommends. I think it may be time to invest in a better quality radio.

Yeah, I see your other Spektrum thread, that was it.

I’ve had several experiences just like this with rtr spektrum radios. Both of mine were dx2e’s. I’ve never had any problems with the tactic radio it used to come with though. ?

Also all you New v4 owners, be mindful that you turn off the vehicle power FIRST before the radio. My Losi mini 8T used to go full throttle if I turned the remote off first. It used a spektrum and full throttle to full stop usually doesn’t end well.
