Beat me to it, was just about to post the same. Also, the new version is $449...$20 cheaper then the previous version: https://www.horizonhobby.com/produc...v2-blx-speed-monster-truck-rtr/ARA4408V2.html

 

[HZRDOS]

Yeah. Kind of a minor update other than the center diff. I already have dirt guards on mine, replaced the stock spektrum crap on day 1.
I am curious though if the new servo saver will be any good?

Is it instead of in addition to the current version? as the site show's the exact same model but the new ones just as separate colors.

if you click on each color, the old colors show backorder and the new colors show preorder

 

[Neelis]

Cool!

 

[Matt05]

I liked the old colors better, but still a nice release.

 

[JamesJimJimmy]

Makes me wonder if a similar update will be coming to the 3s line soon. Put the new center diff and power module on an updated chassis, maybe some new bodies and boom! new 3s line. Arrma likes those kind of "new" vehicles.

Cool!

With that theme music I am surprised they didn't do the video "upside down"

 

[HZRDOS]

Have to say - impressed with the cost. They added upgrades, yet dropped the cost by $20.

 

[razorrc]

Wow!

Nice to see Arrma keeping up with updates and revisions. Great Job Horizon Hobby, Arrma Team!

Hoping to see your products continue to improve and also see better QA/QC

 

[PeighDay]

Very happy to see this included in the new release.

 

[RC-Glenn]

Great news! I LOVE my Outcast 4S, and I was shocked when they discontinued the 4S Outcast/Kraton. Thankfully, it was a good reason - an update!

It's an update to the previous model. So yes it is 'new' not kind of at all.

Arrma are killing it, look across the room and no other RC manufacturer is refreshing its line up like Arrma are doing. Love it or hate it but their association with Spectrum, Arrma are clearly the #1 RC car manufacturer.

Totally agree, it's been a great year for Arrma and us as their customers. And if they dropped a 3s Granite with a center diff, I'd 100% buy one, even if it's not "new".

Remember 3 months ago when everyone was complaining about no new Arrma releases and some were predicting Horizon was going under?… weird

 

[305HemiGuy]

Me likey!

Yeah, I don't really like the new Kraton 4s colors. The updates are nice. I like those driveshaft cover, because the driveshaft of my Typhon look horrible, they have been sand and pebbleblasted really bad.
