Look man, only thing I’m hating on is people swearing by a brand like it’s their savior, when they’ve never driven a truck from any other competing brand, insist their truck is the best in its class, and then openly admit that it’s a mandatory $300+ to make the truck durable. Like what the hell. I don’t know, guess I’m the bad guy for not making parents buy kids Christmas presents that they think are durable because people say they are... when in reality, it ends up being a money pit? Only reason I’m hopping on the buzz kill train is because now everyone’s all “oH YoU cAnT cOmpArE it To aN xMaXx ItS a tRuGgY” when, in reality, if they released it without design flaws and it destroyed the xmaxx, they’d be like “yeah, death to the xmaxx!”
?
What did you think I was some sort of traxxas fanboy or something??? They’re just like arrma! Both of the damn communities can be equally as toxic! They can be equally as helpful as well, like this forum, but sometimes also toxic. I find it funny you took it so literally. Nobody ever says “man, <this brand> is my savior” they say stuff like “I’ll never buy a <this brand>, because <other brand> is what I drive, which means it’s better. I’m only promoting the brand I drive and never putting my money anywhere else.”
All this was originally about was teaching you that this kraton isn’t (definitely is not) a 5th scale. That’s all it was lol.Perhaps there's a common denominator to this equation ?
If only I could put my finger on what it could be ??
. I could throw another $100 at it & make it indestructible. But I had to wreck it a few times to know what it needed. That Outcast is the ONLY car in the 40 or so that I own that I can put in that category. The MT410 is a close second & I could probably make it "ME" proof, I just hate working on the thing. I would never go that route with that huge Kraton. Getting rid of weak points causes others which will make the Kraton a clusterF of an RC. I think I'll make it durable enough to survive basic full speed running & mild jumping. It won't see the 100ft cliff of death that I sent that lovely X-Maxx POS off of . . . & yet I still own that one 
Between the ppl caught up in the scale of it & the butthurts who can't buy any large car, it's just a bit annoying. If you walk in my LHS, you will see the Kraton 8s, right next to the X-Maxx, Losi 5t, & DBXL & none look out of place at all. Instead of scaling, female dog'n, & trolling, ppl should be more concerned why they aren't available yet, parts support, possible weaknesses, & component attributes like the awesome diffs.
My LHS is putting in a parts order tomorrow for the stuff I need. HH said parts aren't an issue. We will see!?
It’s just an online forum. No big deal if people disappear lol.
