Hi all!

I am new here.. my name is Igor, i'm based in northern italy..

I am getting ready to buy my first arrma.. Currently I own a Berserker from hobbyking, and would like something bigger.. I like them bigger and not so nervous.. so I figured that this, maybe with the standard gearing, it would fit my needs.. :)

sooo i started reseraching, saw the famous videos, etc, and have a few questions:

- i have read that in march a new version is released.. is this confirmed? i could not find any official statements, videos or whatsoever..
- if the above is confirmed, what informations are known about what changed? did the electronics change?
- in order to use the telemetry system, do I only need the bluetooth adapter and cellphone holder or do i need something else?
- I've seen that there has been a buyer that got a better/upgraded remote.. with foam wheel etc.. is this the new standard or has it been replaced by the shop?
- how is the spear part supply? on my berserker i cant find anything as it is out of production now..

Thank you all!

thanks, I already saw that.. but from reading through it, it looks like he has a new remote and nobody knows why.. nothing official.. what else changed? does he already have the V2? booh..

It's technically not a v2. They corrected issues that made the chassis and t2t brace bend. As far as the radio, it is due to some issue with the previous radio according to HH.

1) If you stick with the stock radio you will have to use a bluetooth adapter and a cellphone to take advantage of the telemetry. A better radio from the Dx5 and up with a built in screen doesn't require bluetooth adapter or a cellphone.

2) The above reason is why buyers tend to get a better/upgraded radio. Plus because of programming. You can fine tune trim settings, sub trim, expo, rates, set up mixes, etc. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to turn my lights on an off based on a switch assignment...ugh...

3) Most parts are already available. The back-ordered parts are the optional parts as well as hop-ups and upgrades. I'm a bit annoyed because sway bars are no longer on backorder, but the hardware to install them is...

Also, The parts that changed are also on backorder.
