What's your guess on the next Arrma 8s Vehicle?

[Sludog]

I was wondering which direction Arrma goes with if and when they release a new 8s vehicle. My guess is a Mojave 8s just because the size of that beast would be able to handle the extra power with not too many upgrades needed added to the 6s version. I would be surprised if they tried to 8s one of the Arrma stunt trucks.
What's your best guess?

Not the Mojave - doesn't make sense I guess its either a 8S Granite type MT or a stunt truck in the likes of the M2C SWB Kraton

Outcast 8s with some changes.

I’d love a 8s Typhon, but I don’t see that in the cards...

 

[Cflchurch2]

Typhon hopefully, but I think it will be a short wheelbase outcast type.

 

[Clubin]

Notorious 8s basically a kraton 8s only shorter.

 

[Mr.Duke]

I think the outcast/notorious SWB 8s will be next. I’d love to see a Talion 8s next though

 

[Dutch]

SWB Kraton 8s, after Arrma sees what M2C has done ?

 

[UPSETRUDEDUDE]

I would love a 8s Mojave or Senton, but I am 99% sure it's going to be a outcast, and if you say otherwise you're probably wrong

The 6s chassis is pretty mature at this point and def. cant handle 8S.
I would bet on a OC/Noto. 8S (SWB)

You can put the motor and esc in the mojave yourself already - nothing I’d put on the shelf as a vendor - I am actually pretty sure the 1/7 Mojave would perform pretty well but it doesn't even need it if you ask me

I always thought that too, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how well the 6s diffs and driveline are holding up to 8s bashing

 

[Surchaufeur]

I think arrma knowing the granite blx was a massive success they will make a granite 8s

Unless they have a wild card and it’s something entirely new (which I doubt) then it will be a series of SWB RCs. Probably the OC/Noto and a Typhon.

 

[SrC]

@Mr.Duke, your tempting me to go 8S on my Kraton.The chassis needs to be slamed with ALL the upgrade parts before even thinking about 8S. How you did that?

Never saw a 1/5 electric truggy might be something to think about

 

[SrC]

Forgot about the Typhon which is very popular. Imagine an 8S version.

I put 8s in my kraton, but the stock one barely could handle it, I'd expect it to be the same for the Mojave and I want something I don't have to spend $300 to bullet proof

As far as little my experience in the rc car venture has been - doesn't exist as RTR and probably wont - bad business model

Makes sense. 8S is not for the faint of heart in a 1/8 platform. Probably would never see that in an RTR.
edit:
But then again, RCat put a 6S in that Kaiju, and its chassis parts just cant handle it. Breaks like a 4S rig with a stuffed in 6S. Should have been a 4S rig out the gate. (an oversized 4S with a plastic spur) So that was a stretch. Sorry Kaiju guys... I had to stick that in there.

A Granite 8s and or Nero/Big Rock/Fazon 8s would be cool to see, but they would have to re-engineer the lawsuit parts.
