Bad Luck or Bad Driving? Team Corally Spark XB6 First Run on 4S 

Haha, thanks. 😎🤙

Thanks Steve. Hopefully I'll have it back there soon. 🙂

I'm yet to gear mine up, but I might have to try it now that you've said that. 😁

@@jagergerg9771 Not yet.. No SC trucks either. I did write to them a few weeks ago to ask if a Mojave competitor would ever be on their radar and the reply I got was" can't say anything about future releases but stay tuned! " quite a few people say they'd love them to make a 5th scale...

Like the idea for sure a “what we haven’t seen” got to be many over the years Vas.

Yeah, it's on there. Buggies only ever come with small bumpers.

@@AussieRCPlayground it's a shame cause that's what's happened blunt force trauma on that diff.

This is how they are. 🤷 All buggies are like this.

I ran mine fully stock and the only thing is didn't really like were the tyres, hence why I swapped them in the second part of the video. If you're into racing buggies, this will likely feel heavy and handling probably won't feel as sharp as a race buggy. I'd run it stock first and start picking out the things you don't like. Go at your own pace and no doubt you'll tune it better than I can if you know your race buggies. But if you need a hand with anything, just yell out. 😊 Good luck with your Spark and happy bashing. 😎🤙

It's always nice to read comments with common sense and a balanced view. Really appreciate it. 😎👍

My mate has a Syncro 4 that we bash pretty hard, and each time we seem to bend the same steering part. But that's not on TC, that's on us because we are sending this thing to the moon for fun, which I am pretty sure was not the idea behind these buggies..lol. And if it costs us about 7 quid to fix after a big session each time? That's cheaper than a couple pints, and money better spent too. Cheers mate 👍🏻 Doesn't take a genius to think critically, especially when it's about what is basically just big boys toys. Great content sir, keep it up.

Haha, that's fair. 😁

Yeah, that one was a first for me also. The receiver was also an odd thing... Just died. 🤷 Can't say I've had that one happen before on any car... From any brand. Very weird. And yeah, the arm and shock, I knew something would give when it landed like that. That was a nasty landing from a fair way up. 😬

@@AussieRCPlayground oh I didn't see that part. As far as the receivers concerned I've had a few of them randomly die on me over the years. Not super common but it does happen.

Yes, because one video of me breaking a TC car trump's all the other TC cars that I've shown surviving this track time after time. Makes sense. 👍

I accept that absolutely, one breakage doesn’t deserve judgement definitively on a brand. My comment took into consideration more than what you experienced in your video, to be clear my opinion was not just based on your breakage alone.

How is anyone suppose to know that without context? A little more info would yield a different response or perhaps I wouldn't have responded at all. And by your own admission, what you wrote isn't even accurate, so was it just clickbait to get a reaction from me and other viewers?

⁠@@AussieRCPlaygroundOf course not, this is how social media works. My comment was based on my opinion and I think TC is junk for various reasons not just based on your breakage. I’m not asking people to agree with me, I am glad I swerved TC as I came close to buying one. I really don’t need to say anymore than that, I respect those that love the brand but I certainly don’t.

It's interesting that you have such a strong opinion of something without actually owning the product or even using it, but ok. 👍 I guess you're right, that is how social media works... 😏

It's really funny how I don't get any comments like this on my other TC videos where the cars don't break and instead exceed expectations... 🤔 Funny how there's always 1 or 2 guys lurking in the shadows waiting to step out into the light and "do the RC community a service" as soon as I post a video of something going wrong. I wonder if you or anyone else will say this when I post my Syncro4 running videos where nothing broke and the car performed perfectly...? As I've mentioned in other comments, the diff case cracking and the receiver dying is a bit of an anomaly as this is the first time I've seen this happen on my cars. I think bashing on TC or the Spark because of the breakages on that landing is unjust. That was a hard and nasty hit and I've done more damage from less effort in other cars and brands. 😏 On a more serious note, I'm sorry you had a bad experience with your TC car, but I find it hard to understand how your ONE bad experience sets the standard for everyone else out there. I've had TC cars come out here and dominate this track time after time, battery after battery, so why can't my experience be the standard YOU and everyone else follows? Here's my take on this; much like this session didn't go well for the Spark, yours didn't go well for your car. It doesn't mean EVERY one else and every car TC make/sell will result in the same experience. No brand is immuned to this. I appreciate you sharing your story and by no means am I trying to devalue your opinion, I just don't get why YOUR opinion based on one experience with a truck should be the one the RC community listens to or that it even warrants putting down the brand in such a way. And doing so on my video? Why? Why not take this up on a forum or deal with it through the right channels and talking to the right people?

Sorry bro but from many years of Corally ownership, multiple vehicles, my experience, and from what I read many others as well, is the polar opposite of yours.. The quality you get for the money is incredible..

​​@@malsmith2012also they keep getting better with every new model they release so it shows they are actually listening to their customers

The asuga is a amazing car

It’s just you man lol face it 😂

Disagree. Both the Asuga and Kagama have taken on these jumps and passed beyond expectations. Although the diff case cracking on the Spark was a bit odd and the first time I've broken the outer casing like that out of all the TC cars I've tested, the arm and shock rod end took a very nasty hit from 4-5 metres up right on that corner. I've done more damage with less effort to other cars over the years, so I don't know too many cars that would survive that injury free.

@@AussieRCPlayground that's another way of reasoning. Could also mean you were lucky or showed great driver skills with the other Corallys 😜

Yes, because I've never broken an ARRMA car at this track. 🙄

It's possible, but let's see what happens next time and hopefully it redeems itself. 🙂
