Here we go. In no particular order:
1. The Kraton 6s with an EXB bumper will hurt when it hits you, runs up your shin, then rolls over and plays dead in front of you. Your son will laugh as you rub your shin, grimace, and try not to spill your coffee. This event was proof for me that stupid hurts.
2. Two of these don't really seem to want to fit in a Kraton at the same time. No matter what I did, I couldn't seem to get them in there, even though the sale page on Amazon lists dimensions (138*47*39MM) that seem to match up well with what Arrma says should fit (158 x 48 x 70mm). (My shin is glad that I was only running on 3s at the time of the unfortunate incident, as opposed to running on 6s, which surely would have had higher velocity, and therefore significantly more energy when it collided with my poor, unsuspecting, stupid leg).
3. The Senton bumper is capable of protecting the car in the event of stupid drivers. I'm not sure if it's broken now because of the Kraton/Senton collision that happened today, or because of the Senton/curb collision that happened last time I had it out. Either way, I'm lucky that there's no license required to run these things, because if there were, mine would surely be revoked.
Even in spite of the issues, my son and I had a lot of fun today. I actually got my 17 y.o. to laugh and smile with me. Pretty remarkable stuff.
Can't wait to get an 8s Kraton or Notorious and a pair of these. ;-)
