But here she is!! TC KAGAMA XP 6S RTR 😍😍🫠🫠
This truck is insane and I've only run it a few times on 4s …f^@%in NEPA weather… I have yet to make this kitty purr but oh how my inner child and I have been thinking about areas around me where I can send her a flyin 🫡🫡 mostly i enjoy the cruising of trails hitting small jumps then doing a sick ass drift around a corner lol. Being that I haven't really driven a RC in 5 years, I want to enjoy this bad boy before I have to start ordering parts lol.

So the pictures I added aren't from old to present really and I'm sorry. I plan on taking some of these pictures and starting a new thread or finding similar threads and adding to them!!
I've had the truck for 3 weeks now and have 2 20ft back and forth in the house 'runs' on it(yes I have not had it outside and I know I'm going to hear about it haha) like I said I want to enjoy it before I really enjoy it!

First pic: added Hot racing red wheel nut.
2nd 3rd 4th 5th pic: brand new out of the box
6th 7th 8th pic: i added a Garage life RC flexible wing, wing mount, and wheelie bar. Also my TA reflex 14mt 😛
9th pic: an idea i have for dust dirt sand protection....BY NO MEANS WATERPROOF LOL

Again sorry for the delay but I'm really happy to start back into the bank account smashing and bashing world of RC!! YAY

Looking good.
Tip: since you haven’t run it outside yet, I recommend getting those CVD grub screws out. Those are often covered in locktite and can be much harder to get out the longer you wait with a high risk of stripping them. Been there! No bueno.
Use a lot of heat (jet lighter) before carefully try getting them out. On new cars they should get out relatively easy.
I always re-install them without locktite and never had any problems. The pin is held in place by the wheelhex, so I don’t know why they even use locktite.
 
Looks sweet on the Big Rock wheels ,and liking the red accents. Red for me is definitely the best colour. Get out and bash mate, that cars itching to fly

I did that once I read this. They were tight but came out, cleaned, and put back. Thank you!

Yaaa it looks amazing!.... that's it! First run today and I'm definitely regretting not taking the time to above my BEC too 7.4v... It's cold out, and I was in a rush as I had my daughter in her truck too.. i'm guessing that's why the stock servo didn't perform as well as I expected... the wing/wheelie bar setup

Isn't staying for long.. well the wing may stay due to the fact I feel it'll add more protection then a plastic especially since it's 30° during my run and probably the same temp next time lol. The wheelie bar has to much give I've noticed and it is going to the "OHH F%@KKKKKKKKIN MFER!!!" PILE LOL aka spare parts to keep it going when I break it and scream OHH F%#KKKKKKIN MFER! True TC wheelie bar is on the way!🫠

Thank you! I love the look too and red is so nice with the black and grays I had to get it! Unfortunately the wheelie bar has to much give for wheelies in my opinion. The big rock wheels just spun til it gained motion.... I wasn't happy especially on wet surfaces but my BEC wasn't turned up and im really still learning alot here with these so I may be wrong but I think I have to get Into shock and diff fluid to achieve the ride I'm hoping for... yay... haha 😅😅 I'm not good with organizing the progression of parts coming of then going back.. I always have an extra screw lol

I think garagelife rc may have updated the design, a few had issues with it but I think they been pretty good at sending out replacements to people who had problems or breaks.

Kronos xtr great find as can’t get them anymore, I think they represent better overall value over the kagama with all the 7075 parts they come with. With an xerun combo too can’t complain about that but I think you need a tune analyser to adjust settings with those(not 100% sure). Looks like it never even been run totally mint 👌
