Corally 7075 gearbox cases very nice, I would keep those use them on the spark when you get it.

Planning on getting the adjustable motor mount for both trucks so I can fine tune like your saying. I haven’t checked speeds the Spark does stock but would think more than the Kagama 4s. We’re supposed to start on the tracks this weekend can send some shots once it’s finished then hopefully you could give suggestions on pinion sizes etc for me.

spark comes with the adjustable mount just make sure get correct one for kagama if you purchase one I saw a guy recently get the one from a buggy for his and it didn’t fit being designed for the 46t spur & not the 52t. It’s the sketer motor mount you want for the kagama4

May sound crazy but I was thinking in that realm of course we haven’t done the track but I know on jets what a big difference 4 to 6s is. Jets 70-80 mph on 4 then on 6s I can get 100-133 on top level speeds. Hoping I won’t have issues with the Spark I am on the Kagama 4. Love the truck kinda wish I’d just gone 6s with it now too

145.6 mph on my QAV. 😅

6S on cars requires some throttle management. There's always way more power on tap than you need IMO. 😎🤩

Thank you so much, I’ve been looking at those saw some aftermarket been burned on aftermarket before definitely Team Corally parts. I didn’t know I’ll need to order for the Sketer glad you posted this for me.

Great suggestion so maybe put the Kagama back together then use the aluminum ones for the Spark definitely sounds like a much better plan

There are some good aftermarket brands make some nice parts for corally too maybe not as many as other brands. I love my vitavon bulkheads, m2c make some nice parts for corally too shock towers hinge pin holders & shock caps, don’t do chassis, braces etc like they do for other brands but I saw a post online from a YouTuber hinting that maybe about to change. Adu do some parts but they’re quality is questionable on some items but some parts like there battery tray good. If your on Facebook the corally bashers group there a guy called Erik van Ravenstein makes quality parts in 7075 & titanium just need to pm him if interested in anything.

Wow that looks super good bet she drives like a dream too. I can say one thing about Team Corally is like Motion they stand behind there products. That’s something I’m very funny about, I don’t mind spending my money but when something breaks that is some type of defect they take care of it. I just got notified that I have something arriving from Team Corally tomorrow. I know they have a fix for the left axle issue but understand it’s in production right now so I’m not sure what they have sent me and to be honest it is why I’m a returning customer. Going from the Kagama now to the Spark, I’ve seen some complaints on the issue however I also see everywhere they take care of issues that is so hard to find in today’s world. So kudos to Team Corally for stepping up, can’t wait to get this Spark and take to the field Saturday or Sunday depending on what time it arrives
 
I just got a email from Horizon Hobby with a new 2s buggy called the Typhoon Mega it’s 1/8 scale $260 bit wow for $260 and only 2s doesn’t seem much like something that would entice many when you can buy the Team Corally version that’s 3-4s for less than $100 more. Like my first jet was 3s I converted to 4s then went straight to larger 6s jets now to 8s. I may be wrong just can’t see the appeal for a track buggy that’s 2s. Again I’m new to Rc cars/trucks seems like a step backwards to me

More for kids but Corally definitely offer better bang for your buck than some of its competitors
 
Well WOW 🤩 the Spark came in today, I’ve run 2 SMC 53/4600 hivoltage packs so far boy does this thing handle so much better than the Kagama. Not saying it’s bad once set it up for my driving style but out of the box the Spark just oozes quality. Planning on installing the 7075 diffs in the Spark then the Spring steel cups in the Kagama. Just wanted to say thank you to all who replied with ideas and steering me to the Spark couldn’t be happier

Did they stop including the Lanyard key ring and extra spring set by chance. Mine didn’t come with any. I do like this remote better too feels like better quality like when I went from a DX63 to the NX8 Spektrum radio

Hit & miss whether you get extra springs & lanyard. Saw some people ask about it before and the extra springs not included according to corally yet some seem to get them so pot luck I guess.

Just bit the bullet and ordered the Team Corally Spark XB6 I have tons of 6s packs from my jets. Now I run 8s in them be nice to have something to use them with. Went with Green to match the Kagama do want to order front and rear bumper guards. Saw a video there a direct bolt on

Just an FYI the Corally battery tray will fit 6S 6000mah packs if you remove the battery spacer.
 
Just checked my emails and all my upgrade parts will arrive today. It’s blowing really good so it’s a Spark day no Jets. I’ll wait to install the 7075 diff in until tonight, lost one of the wheel 17mm nuts stole one off the Kagama for now but saw these what’s everyone’s thoughts

Check this out 😎 fits like a glove it’s a 90c should give plenty of punch that I just moved from 3 to 4. Wanna try her see if I should go to 5. I also set up for LiPo cell on the receiver for 6s since I’m using hivolt

Something I am doing on my battery trays that help stop the packs from walking, I get these from Motion RC we use them in planes to help stop the same
