Kronos XTR Team Corally Kagama

[kevinemt]

My guess is gonna be more of a parts bin build, a long arm asuga with truck tires and body, definitely be the cheapest route for them to introduce something new but we shall see

I think it’s going to be a XLR Kronos style

[Jake4k]

So Team Corally, did you have something to announce?

 

[hobo]

so where's this new car then

 

[Wallys Rc World]

@AngrySection8 this is what I was thinking. A better tougher Kronos using the XTR parts and Asuga arm plastics. Says they've listened to our feedback so should see a much tougher rig I reckon

And I want some better arms for my Kronos

Better plastics are a must if they ever want to compete with arrma and traxxas.

Yes!! The Asuga arms are beefcake compared to the models released before it. I sure hope that's a sign of things to come

I agree that they need to improve the composites for the arms, wing mount, wing and skids.

They're definitely too rigid for 'extreme bashing'.

I would argue that Corally are already competing with Arrma and Traxass. For a start, Corally rigs drive nicer than the Arrma alternatives and don't cost £4billion like the 100% plastic Traxass, politically incorrect offerings. (ABT)

Corally over the years haven't really specialised in RTR's or bashers - they produced top tier racing kits and won world championships. They might be a couple of versions behind the Kraton, but Corally's progress has, arguably, been exponentially good.

I'd personally like to see Corally and Arrma romp home with all the success in the world.

That reminds me - I really 'need' to buy an Arrma EXB before I buy any more FPV flying machines.....

Same, arrma has a Christmas in July sale going on and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna latch onto an outcast 8s exb for about half price, was gonna wait on this kagama to debut but can't pass up a deal

Team Corallys electronics imo are great. Super fast on 4s and ballistic on 6s

 

[Horatio]

Totally agree. 62 mph with my XTR on 6S on stock gearing and TOROX ESC and Kuron motor. 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds.

Much, much faster out of the box.

I've been doing proper RC cars since 1981 and the Kronos XTR is simply bonkers. My mind - blown.

RC car enthusiasts lately seem so immune to this kinda stuff and are just like - meh. Unless it's jumped over a barn, 10 back flips, then 110mph across a field full of landmines.

I'm obviously far too easily pleased!

Noticed thumbnail and title of vid has changed to no longer say Kagama, still does have logo near end but odd

Better act fast.. the last EXB is the Outcast 8s. On sale for 43% off and already backordered everywhere in the US. My brother has one on order but I have a bad feeling he's never gonna see it.. my guess, discontinued.

 

[KnowAir]

I should've specified, EXB rollers are what I think will be discontinued. Likely brought back as an rtr exb?

the shocks are not as good as the arrma cars on the xtr anyway the shock shafts are too thin and the washer that gos on the shock shaft before you put your piston on is too small and brakes your piston in half like the old arrmas used to have. I agree with the plastics although not had much trouble with mine. also the wing mount has no flex in it so you brake the wing all the time. what I have done is put a peace of plastic of the arrma wing mount and have nut and bolted it threw each side to try and stop the wing breaking

I've broken shock rod ends on both my XTR and EXB'S..no bent shafts or broken pistons yet.
What I've noticed between Arrma and TC arms is Arrma's are just way thicker and more rigid. I know someone said TC arms are too rigid, I disagree..The TC Kronos arms flex like crazy by comparison to Arrma's. TC offers the CF plates to stiffen up the arms, but between cost and CF's tendency to absorb moisture, I'm not interested.
I did break my stock Kronos wing, Arrma's has been fine. TC is well on their way to equaling Arrma if they keep improving. I have no idea what's going on with Arrma, things have gotten quite stagnant IMO.

Honestly, once i am tired of tinkering on my kronos and sketer. I will be heading to traxxas. Yes i agree they are over priced. But they are much more durable. Really not a whole lot to upgrade on them.

 

[The Stig]

And lets get back on topic. Any news?

I haven't been able to find anything.. kinda frustrated by the teaser..
At least they aren't taking the TRX or HH route, which is to give examples out to the "chosen few" for us to froth over something we can't have for 3 or more months. Such as the Sludge or Losi dirt bike..

I fixed my XTR and sold it. Unfortunately it broke everytime I took it out plastics were too brittle for bashing.

Any more news on this Kagama I'm wondering if it will be as tough as the Asuga

 

[The Stig]

Sludge?
