Hi everyone!

I’ve just received my Losi Promoto SM. Following the advice I’ve seen on YouTube and Reddit, I bought a separate set of MX wheels so I can enjoy the best of both worlds: asphalt and dirt.

To make swapping between the two setups as quick and easy as possible, I bought complete hub assemblies for the MX wheels, so I would only have to swap the wheels between the MX and SM setups.

However, removing the stock front SM wheel is quite a hassle. You have to remove the brake caliper and then the brake disc because the caliper gets stuck inside the rim.

I’ve seen a few YouTubers mention this issue, but I haven’t been able to figure out which Vitavon part I need to buy to avoid this problem.

Does anyone have any advice or recommendations on how to solve this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my experience and ask a few questions to the Arrma community because I’m still trying to fully understand these machines.

Back in January, I bought a Kraton 8S EXB 1/5. Honestly, I absolutely loved the experience. The machine is incredible, the power, the stability, the overall build quality… everything impressed me.

I enjoyed it so much that I recently decided to buy a Talion 1/7 as well.

For context, I also own other RCs, including 1/8 buggies and truggies for track driving, so I’m not completely new to RC. But Arrma vehicles are a bit different from what I’m used to, especially regarding gearing, temperatures, and overall stress on electronics.

I have a few questions that have been on my mind:

First of all, regarding the optional speed pinion included with Arrma vehicles. Do you recommend to install it?

If I install it, is there a real risk of the motor running too hot or wearing out prematurely?

On my Kraton 8S 1/5, the motor already gets pretty warm after around 20 minutes of driving, so I’m a bit cautious about pushing things too far. Do you suggest any fan upgrade?

Now regarding the Talion 1/7 specifically:

• Is it really recommended to install the speed pinion?
• If I install it, will the motor heat up significantly more?
• And what happens if I install bigger tires on the Talion 1/7 while also using the speed pinion?

These may sound like small questions, but keep bothering me because I want to enjoy the vehicles while keeping them reliable long term. TThank you for your feedback 🙏

Hey everyone,

I wanted to ask the community for some opinions about wear on Meteor Dragoon and how it affects performance over time.

I won a local tournament on February 21st using a brand new Meteor Dragoon 7-70 Level.

Since then, my Meteor has obviously seen a lot of battles and is now pretty worn down.

Later on, I switched to using it on 7-60 Level instead of 7-70, but honestly… I’m not sure what should I do.

What’s confusing me is that my Meteor Dragoon still dominates a lot of meta Beys, especially like Silver Wolf 9-70 Freeball, but I just cannot consistently beat Wizard Rod 1-60 Hexa.

Here are my current top 6 Beys:

Main deck

• Meteor Dragoon 7-60 Level
• SharkScale 1-70 Low Rush
• Hovern Wyvern 9-60 Rush

Side beys deck

• Aero Pegasus 1-50 Jolt
• Wizard Rod 1-60 Hexa
• Cobalt Dragoon 9-60 Elevate

So now I’m wondering:

Would buying a brand new Meteor Dragoon and running it again on 7-70 help me more against matchups like Wizard Rod compared to my current worn Meteor on 7-60?

I’m asking because I often read people saying that a worn Meteor Dragoon on 7-60 is actually better than a fresh one on 7-70.

What do you guys think?

Thank you so much. 🙏

Hello,

I'm hesitating between Kraton or Talion 6S:

Arrma Kraton 6S V6 → 550€

Arrma Talion 6S EXB → 789€

So we're talking about ~240€ difference.

I already own a Kraton 8S.

This one would be more for regular sessions, something a bit more manageable but still fun.

The Kraton price seems like a really good deal, but I'm wondering if the Talion is worth the extra money in terms of experience.

Thank you for your feedback.
