What Arrma models would you drop?

[TheBadazz]

In light of the current Outcast EXB being discontinued. What model do Arrma need to drop, in your opinion of course.

Me, the 2wd line, no thanks!
The Vorteks
The Notorious should be the alternate color of the Outcast.
Even though they are slightly different, the Infraction 6s should be the main vehicle, the Felony should be the alternate color. (Yes I know about the rear tires)
All EXBs are rollers only.
The Vendetta should lead, the Infraction should be an alternative color.

I know this make no sense to some, others I'm sure understands.

 

[Engineer]

The entire 3S line.

There I said it.

 

[Hector_Fisher]

The mega line. It's a mega disappointment.

I don’t understand the 3s & 4s lines. Make the rigs more durable/quality and be one product line, then the 6s rigs. 2wd may be just a cheap stab at market share and an attempt to be like Traxxas. I am not sure that is wise but time will tell.

 

[MiamiRC]

The entire 3S line.

There I said it.

Ha! Id say put all the 4s stuff in the 3s as standard. The 3s gears are all so weak. And the 6s shocks. Then I think it’s good.

I think arrma should drop the rc car with the most suspension travel. It will handle it best.
In all seriousness, I think arrma should drop the voltage and make a proper 2wd rc car.

Next question what do you want arrma to make to replace the void in their marketing? A CRAWLER.
I want arrma to make a completely redesigned (but still same basic features) Nero platform.

So you'd make a 4.5s ... or would that be a 5s?

 

[GraniteFox]

Might just be me but I don’t see the point of the Typhon TLR. You would not race that buggy and it does not seem like a bash around rig either. Maybe I’m missing something……

You stole the words right out of my mouth.

Can't say for sure without access to their sales data, but I would guess the EXB RTRs (more expensive and marginally improved versions of other models) and EXB rollers (niche product for serious hobbyists and spektrumphobes) have been on the chopping block for a reason. Fireteam seems a likely candidate for cancellation as it's more expensive and polarising than other 6s models. TLR Typhon also stands out as being caught between two worlds: Too expensive and specialised to appeal to most bashers, not competitive against proper race kits on a track.

3s line is probably their highest volume product, and since all the models use 90% of the same parts - plastics that are cheap to produce but must generate ROI on initially expensive tooling - I doubt they have much incentive to start cutting there. Internet comments make the 8s line seem like a flop, but how true this is in the real world I haven't a clue. They probably want to keep at least one model to have coverage of this market segment.

Written based on what I think makes sense from a business perspective rather than what I would personally like to see.

Yes but you are still stuck with the slipper and motor module that are in dire need of a redesign.

 

[bukshypro]

I love the Vorteks, whats wrong with it?

Id love it in a 4S capable version tho.

 

[RCbuzz]

The 3s line is actually pretty sweet. They just need to fix some weaknesses that their customers have been telling them about for years..

I dislike the Mega line but it does serve a purpose..

 

[Warby]

Me, the 2wd line, no thanks!
The Vorteks

+1

 

[Mikeeeeeal]

Slick and engineer said it.

And I'd prefer if a company would focus all their efforts on updated revisions of their already proven platforms VS. new models.

exactly why the nero needs a v2

exactly why the nero needs a v2

Jason said they won't make a new Nero as there isn't any way to make it work, which is completely bs. They could design it with normal shock towers like Savage and Hyper MT. They would probably have to redesign the a arms a little bit too.

The irony of this being the 8s Outcast EXB.

The problem is the nero is iconic for the cantilever suspension, TVP chassis, and diff brain. Was the lawsuit over the diff brain or the suspension?

I have one and I like it too although I do like my Typhon a little more
