Hi All,
I'm on the verge of buying my first Arrma RC.
For reference I have a Traxxas Erevo 2.0 and a Maxx. Of those cars the Erevo is my favorite to drive. The Maxx is super durable but the Erevo is just more fun IMO. It can be a pain to work on and is certainly not as durable as the Maxx.
I went into my LHS yesterday and they had a Kraton 6s and a Talion EXB. I got talking to the guy there, he has both. He recommended the Talion. He said it's the best handling RC. He said the Kraton is better for doing things like backflips etc... I don't launch my RC's, I do small - medium sized jumps, and most of my driving is off road (I live in Arizona now) and drive in hard packed dirt/sand areas. I went in thinking the Kraton was they way to go, it seems to be more popular, but have to say I was really impressed with the Talion. The electronics are also appealing to me (I like the Spektrum system for ease of use, would probably get their batteries to match). I know that lots of people don't like the electronics that come with the Talion EXB and have read about failures. Not a big deal to me as it would be covered under warranty.
In buying either the Kraton or Talion - I'd probably sell wither my Maxx or Erevo to a buddy of mine. I just have to many bashers if I add one of the bad boys. The talion EXB seems to be a really great value. Not that price is much a determining factor in my final decision - but money is money.
Looking to get feedback on the difference between the Kraton & Talion. How do they drive compared to each other? How to they drive compared to the Erevo? How durable are they? How to they handle different terrain? Pro's/Con's to each etc...
I'm also into painting bodies and the look of my RC's (I know probably stupid with bashers - but it's definitely part of the hobby I enjoy). What after market bodies are available for the Talion and Kraton?
Looking to get feedback and advice from the community.
Thanks in advance!
You guys rock!
