This recent discussion about 4S has me wondering how practical it would be to reduce the weight of the Typhon 6S by, say..., 1 pound? It sounds like the Typhon 6S is already fast and powerful on 4S, but if it was lighter it could be a beast on 4S. It seems like that is really what the 4S fans wish ARRMA would have done, is put the 6S designs on a diet as opposed to making the 3S line a little sturdier but still no center diff.. I have this same weight reduction question about the Kraton 6S as well, but that may be a much taller ask compared to the Typhon 6S, to become powerful on 4S.
Completely separate topic..... I've been kind of eyeing the Kraton 6S, and I'm a little surprised by the lack of aftermarket bodies that would give it more of an Outcast or Infraction look. I can't remember who said it, somewhere in these forums, but they captured in words something I was already sensing but couldn't put my finger on it. When the car body has a more realistic/impressive look to it, during those times where you're just cruising it around and not necessarily bashing, it makes it more fun. (the same goes for planes, but of course no bashing there) Some may really like the looks of the Kraton as is, and I don't dislike it necessarily. But....I think you know what I mean. I've seen pictures where people have found a way to make the Notorious body fit, and it looked pretty great, but I'd prefer an aftermarket designed to fit it.
And another completely separate topic. I had been 99% in the 3S forum, and read so often comments about how much better the durability is for 6S. Well now that I've been reading a lot in the 6S forum lately, it is easy to get the impression that 6S durability isn't so great either. Not sure what to make of it all.
