Notorious Should I buy?

[crimsonfancy]

You seriously never bent your chassis?

Not a single one of em. I have more fun low to the ground but I do jump too. Getting height and length doesn't matter to me. I like it low and wild and rabid.

And I can get the noto in 7 days rn. I have a secret spot that still has some in stock.

I don't really want to wait for EXB and I hate red.

There you go, answered your own question!

 

[FatCatRC]

Well I guess I'll be the owner of a new Noto. M2c towers braces and standoffs are in the cart I'll prob order a chassis down the road. I have spares for pretty much everything else from taking them off my Kraton. This ones staying BLX though.

 

[northeastflyer]

enjoy! i have a kraton and talion and the only thing i’m constantly replacing is fans.

 

[BashingBrian]

If you bash you break..!! Just the nature of the hobby..?

The stock SWB chassis won't bend with alloy chassis braces. I went cheapo with mine with GPM braces from the get go. It's still as straight as an arrow. Then I went with GPM shock towers after bending the rear ones. Besides pins and a steering rack, it's the only stock part to have bent on me

The stock tyres definitely need venting. Mine had a habit of pulling away at the rim and I even split a tyre from it. Backflip LPs hold on better and are less strain on the servo and diffs.

I think I would prefer an Outcast or Noto over a Kraton because they're so easy to wheelie and flip... they're real head turners when you've got an audience. But at the same time if you're okay with modulating the throttle a bit you can still keep it on all four wheels. AND it can self-right! I love my Noto ?

I haven't bent my Noto chassis either and there's been many opportunities. I quit checking on it after every spill. I've upgraded braces and towers and feel confident I'll be fine. Even so much as to consider just buying a cheap stock chassis if I do happen to twerk the one on it now. Stock is so much lighter.

I can relate. I’m looking for an excuse
to buy m2c chassis but my stock wont bend. Ive had HR braces on since day 1.

On my the talion i went m2c chassis braces and expect same result.

 

[nino]

I managed to bend the chassis slightly even with m2c braces. Wouldn't notice but the body holes didn't line up. So i made a flexible top brace.

 

[FatCatRC]

Well that's one way to spend 1k lol. Noto is on it's way!

 

[Notorious Robo]

I like the Noto body always have, I didn't buy it first because I heard they are wheelie machines. After my kraton breaking everything it could I kind of want the Noto so I have something to run when the kraton is down. Does the Noto bend everything like the kraton like the towers and chassis?

Thats the 2 combo’s i have and slowly put upgrades on both .Notorious what a tank ?love it

 

[EKM904]

I love my noto. I am getting some m2c, and just bash it stuff over time for it, not because I've broke anything, it so I don't. I did put a upgrades servo, and new radio in it before I drove it, I say get it, its badass.

So, are you still happy with your purchase? I am about to buy the V5 notorious...

 

[MeHurricane]

I send my notorious pretty well and haven’t bent a chassis yet. I am adding the nicer M2C braces and such. Noticed that the stock chassis is only $12.xx at Jenny’s RC so I got a backup so I can jump in peace.

Yeah. Love it. Thing is a beast.

 

[Briggs]

Yeah. Love it. Thing is a beast.

Thank you for the reply!! I think that confirms it

 

[TriggerHappy]

I love mine too. Iv done alot of upgrades to it but nuthing major has broke in 6mnths iv had it. Hw max6 4985 is a lil heavy for it but it shur will rip with the 46/20 gear. Bf lp's a big help and more predictable. Also i like the thicker diff oils currently running 100/500/50k but i like the front n rear a lil thicker.

Thank you, I’m very happy to know that you still love it. First things first I need to get some hard case Lipos and change the plugs to EC5. After you changed out the fluids was it more responsive?

 

[Kusher]

I love my noto. Chassis still straight and im a hard basher. Sometimes I don't land very well and get some freaking amazing cartwheels lol. Haven't broken any arms yet. Gone through z few wingmounts but thats almost z given. Rear driveshafts just the littlest skewed but other than thst freaking beast!

Well I guess I'll be the owner of a new Noto. M2c towers braces and standoffs are in the cart I'll prob order a chassis down the road. I have spares for pretty much everything else from taking them off my Kraton. This ones staying BLX though.

I have the m2c chassis braces Nd ackerman. Exb towers exb diffs front rear!
