You're 100% correct, it's all the tires, the big tires just make it wanna backflip at any speed, throttle control wasn't really an option because it was just too reactive even with the esc turned down and a strong curve put in, in the buggys it typically just blows the tires off, far more manageable which is much more fun to me, heck I just dropped my jambo down to 4s because the max6 4985 combo in it was too much on 6s, swb on that thing made it react about the same as the kronos did on 8s, not near as fun having big power but you end up driving slow just to control it, the buggys I can use all the power in and are very enjoyable for where I run.That's awesome!! Whether it's Arrma, TC or whatever, 1/8 buggies are tough as nails I find. That should hold his interest for a while. Niiice
Interesting.. so 8s is too much for the Kronos but manageable in a narrower and/or shorter wheelbase buggy? Hmm.. I'd have to guess it's more to do with tire size and terrain than the rig itself?
I only run 8s in an Xmaxx so, not saying you're wrong by any means. Just that 6s in a buggy or SWB rig is too much power IMO, whereas in a longer wheelbase truggy, much more manageable. ✌
