Kraton V4 Arrma's on HH

[RandyDimac]

Also, i noticed the HH site says 50c minimum for batteries.?

With the same BLX motor and ESC ?? why bump up the Cs?
HH trying to get more $$

Has anyone noticed the price for the Kraton? $550. $50 increase

 

[bicketybam]

Typhon is $480.

Only places I can see prices at in the UK are horizon and tower. Kraton £469.99 (v3 price £499.99, however other retailers had it at £449.99). Typhon £429.99 (v3 price £449.99, however other retailers had it at £399.99).

Seriously tempted by the Kraton, but was really planning on a road car (Kyosho Inferno GT2 VE, Hobao Hyper VTE, HPI WR8 Flux)

I'm sure we'll still buy. Let's see how long that demand lasts.
Is that what 18 months of R&D delivered?
I guess HH needs bigger margins on sales.

After looking at the specs and watching the review, I'm not so sure it's worth the upgrade from the V3. I already have a chassis brace coming from T-Bone Racing and if I want the blue body, I'll buy one, same as the tires. The motor and ESC are staying the same. On to version 5, need 8s and thicker chassis.

Tower Hobbies has all of them listed as in stock except for the Notorious.

So glad I waited. Been wanting to try the Kraton and about pulled trigger a few times already. Went with the Blue/Black. Can't wait!

New radio looks very basic but from what I’ve heard over the past 2 or so years it’s pretty reliable.

Are those v1 Kraton tires?

I don't think so, new design.

5 years with no price increases on the Kraton, $50 is not bad.

I completely agree. I wasn't complaining. I expected at least a $50 bump.

You and me both. I had my mind set on the hyper vte roller, but the v4 kraton, damn !

 

[Sledgehog]

I just wanna know if the V4 upgrades for the Talion will be compatible with the V3.

 

[Mr.Duke]

Yes all of the upgrades will bolt directly to the same exact parts from the v3

 

[Sledgehog]

Hopefully Horizon will have an "upgrade package" available for v3 >v4 conversion Would be amazing to be able to get all the parts in one box, or at least have them all listed together on the site that way.

 

[Brandon]

Why would they have left the outcast on the v4 manual when it was renamed notorious? Makes you wonder a bit.

It sure seems that way considering how the assemblies are shown with part numbers and pricing on Arrma’s site.

I would not mind the price bump half as much if it would have included a DSMR reciever.

Do you own a Spektrum radio?

It was never renamed. They are listed as separate models because of the bodies.
