Let's take a look at the new Team Corally Syncro 4 RC Basher Buggy. Is it better than the 3s Arrma Typhon? Will it be able to handle serious offroad bashing? Lets find out!
It just depends on where. Any place that you have a lot of stress that's going to go through a metal part that is contained by a piece with a hole in it you probably want that part to be metal. In my opinion this truck has metal in all the places that it really needs it and plastic in the places that it kind of doesn't.
No bs. This guy covers exactly what I'm thinking almost in real time. I recently this morning saw his video on the Arrma "I Made The World's Most Powerful Upgraded Typhon Grom & It's INSANE!" video, and it impressed me signiffigantly. Reason why is because I desire a quality RC of such a small stature 1/18 that can have enough power, speed and endurance such as that one. Very impressive content alltogether from this man. o7
probably one of my favorite channels due to the lengthy teardowns! As a handy guy i always want to see things come apart. Sometimes a product's limits are very obvious, sometimes it takes a teardown or some testing. I really like the Kagama, and this looks like another well designed product! The low pressure during shipping (airfreight?) + diffs leaking also crossed my mind! Could be a valid explanation!
Yeah it's either that or maybe they're just spilling some when they put them together. I'm not really sure. I do know that I've never had one leak when I was using it and you would think if they were going to leak just sitting around they'd certainly leak under high centrifugal force.
@@DoRC prolonged higher temps like on a container ship might do it too? And since this is all mass production... On my bike, if i assemble something, it always settles in during the first ride. Comes loose once, after assembly. Tighten it again, stays tight forever. Now imagine these center diffs being assembled, slapped into a car, which is then quickly tested on the assembly line. But then again, why don't the F/R diffs leak? We don't check, i guess? 😆
From the specs the Kuron 725 is a 2150kv motor; using 4s of 16.8v x 2150kv is aprox 36,000 rpm. No wonder the speed is slow for a 4s vehicle. I think it needs a 3000kv motor so it gets about 50k rpm max. I forgot, or increase the pinion size.
Well keep in mind that's off-road on some pretty rough terrain. It'll do more than that on smooth concrete I just like to show what things will do in the kind of environments I will actually be using them. Stay tuned though we'll make it faster :-)
Well it would be faster on road. Going over rough terrain always slows them down. It does seem to have a decent amount of power but stay tuned we'll make it faster :-)
I appreciate you giving Team Corally open minded reviews. Most don't give them a chance and give them unfair reviews. Im not a "Corally Fan Boy" but i do like their products.
Great video and i totally agree with it being a game changer for the price and a lot of other areas. I would definitely have to gear it up a little though. Cant wait to see how it does with that esc you mentioned!
Only Team Corally RC car I own is the "Moraco", and I very much enjoy the car. Regretably I had a difficult time getting replacement parts, but did. The car is exceptionally fast and such a pleasure to drive. My local hobby shops do not care distribute cars aside from mostly Traxxas and Arrma. When u mentioned the making ones own replacement parts, I myself have thought this too. I looiked into 3D printers but was informed of how one needs Downloads on the shape of parts to replace which got me to chose not to buy a 3D printer. TY 4 your content. Happy Easter! o7
There are some things you can download online but sometimes you do need to design your own parts. Overall 3D printing is a lot of fun though so if you want to get into it I would recommend it.
@@DoRC I genuinley do. What discouraged me was speaking to the 2 gentlemen at the "micro Center" about 3D printers is after I asked. "May I simply place a part I wish to clone/recreat 3D style so that it can therby learn how the shape is etc to then recreate and print?" They were like..."not that way. It is usually inacurate and unless you have a CAD file with all details u wont likely create the exact shape" paraphrasing. So I shook my head and left empty handed. I never have done it, but if I could copy 3D shapes. I could get busy making parts for myself and others. Poissibly better quality plastics that r stronger etc. But they gave me the impression that is a "pie in the sky" plan. but idk. I do know that 3D printing fascinates me and I wish I could get started but i dont know how. I have $ to invezst but lack knowledge on what to invest in/buy and how to get started. TY for the reply. Best wishes.
@@dub2536 what they said is technically true. Unless you have really high-end equipment 3D scanning isn't really going to get you a perfectly repeatable part. It's more of a starting point for you to then design the part around. This is because there's always going to be small detail inaccuracies that of course the 3D printer will replicate perfectly so what you end up with won't exactly be the part you started out with.
Talks about diff fluid, "I'm changing the dynamic a bit by doing this". Proceeds to add 20 million wt diff fluid. A bit, my ass, lol! I'm a racer at heart so adjustable suspension is ALWAYS a good thing, access to the diffs, not so much. The Syncro is easily better (much better) than the Typhon but based on where you live, support might be an issue (as you noted). REALLY interested is seeing how this sells and if it can put any dent in Typhon sales. Btw, love the new bash site, really tests the suspension and handling but would like to see a smoother surface for speed runs 👍
Remember, the first Efra race of this year there was a Team Corally at the start and no one expected that. Allthough the result wasnt that good it was oke for a first test. Resulting in a pretty quick new car to replace the Spark. I think this car is not a basher but a entry level racer. As you look at all the tuning options its definately a much better racer as the Arrma Typhon. I bet we see a new kit in the near future to replace the sbx410 as well
Yeah you probably could use it as an entry level racer but to be honest with you I wouldn't recommend it. You'd be a lot better off just buying someone's roller from last year and putting cheap electronics in it. You'll be at a similar price and have a much better machine for racing
@@DoRC Thanks for your reply. Would adding a rally body to the Syncro, or buggy to the Quantum, effectively make them the same? My point is, how does the performance compare between the two?
Very good video there, sir. You have me wanting a Team Corally or two. Soon, I guess. Wondering if Redcat will get into that segment. They are trying everything else right now.
It seems nice, with a really appealing price tag, however is just seem too low, is there a way to make it higher ? P.s what do you think is the best 10-12 scale basher. I have the kagama and it’s pretty much perfect except for the size, I wish it would also come in like a 12 scale that would be amazing 🤩
At first I thought you were asking if there was a way to make the price higher. That was very confusing. Really the only way to increase ground clearance is to put bigger tires on it which you definitely can do though you may run into rubbing issues on the body at full lock as taller tires also tend to be wider.
Hi, a really cool video, I was sure you were going to like this car! Relating to the next video - while making this thing 6s capable, if you can - please try to gear it up a little, because from what I've seen this motor is quite undergeared for the performance it can give! Have a good day, cheers :D
Not sure about the material though the way it's integrated into the tower makes me suspect it is stronger overall. Mine took a couple of good wax and didn't break but you know how that goes.
Not sure. I ordered it a couple minutes after it came out on HRP and they shipped at the same day. Got here a lot more quickly than I thought it would.
It’s amazing how many people don’t believe you can mix fluids, or drastically misunderstand how averages work. I once saw someone come to the conclusion that half 60 + half 30 would make 90 somehow. You can literally just put to fluids in a container and leave it for a day and it becomes a homogeneous mixture.
Yeah it's one of those things that if you know you know but might not be intuitive. It feels intuitive to me but I've also been a mechanic for 20 years so I've dealt with all sorts of various fluids pretty much my whole life.
@@DoRC I once witnessed someone who basically just needs to use a screwdriver for their job utterly fail at using a wrench. Granted I thought the reason we needed wrenches was stupid but still.
With TC i never know what vehicle i want since they all look so similar and they share all their parts But isnt this one similar to an older model they had? Edit: yeaa it think it was the Radix4
Lipo batteries are not really very dangerous as long as they're treated correctly. You already have lithium batteries all over your house. The thing you're reading this on probably has a lithium battery in it. The reason there are fires in this hobby is because people either don't get educated on lipo safety or refuse to follow that education when it actually comes time to dispose of a battery that's failing because they want to save a few bucks.
@@DoRC yep seems very complicated just to run these. I have a nitro buggy and I have a Lipo in the radio and as a receiver pack. I also have a life battery only reason I went with a lipo for the receiver I can see how much batteries left with the dynamite switch that I have it's not compatible with the battery
Probably better than Arrma, but pretty much brick and mortar hobby shops ONLY carry Traxxas and Arrma, at least here in Southern Cali. You can get parts everywhere and anywhere.
That's true. If your main concern is being able to get parts locally this probably won't be a good choice. I personally always buy my parts online so I don't really have much concern in that area.
I am fortunate that there are seven hobby shops within a radius of where I live, and one of them is a five-minute drive from my work. Hobby shops do not exist in a lot of places anymore, right? I hear a lot of buzz about Team Corally lately, and I hope that they penetrate the local hobby shops. It doesn't impress me anymore when I step into hobby shops and all I see are Arrma, Traxxas, and a little bit of Losi here and there.
@@jguillermoii Yeah TC is definitely getting more popular and for a good reason. They make a really good product and they've been improving their products very quickly in response to feedback. I have a hobby shop that's local to me as well I just don't really go there anymore. I think if I only had one or two cars I probably would get things locally but since I have several If one breaks it doesn't really matter if it's down for a few days and I usually don't have time to fix it right away anyway so I just buy the parts online and then fix it when I can
@@estegerset the typhon is a little bit faster off-road but at least in my experience TC parts support is fine as long as you don't mind ordering online.
Yeah that would definitely help with top speed though you might run into temperature problems with the ESC. I'm going to be swapping out the ESC for the next video so we'll see how that goes
34 on 4 s...!? That supposed to rival the 3s typhon??? Never maybe it will rival the Typhon mega! 🤣🤣🤣. Just saw hundred dollar 1/16 scale barely hobby grade rc that has a 25 amp esc that will take 3s & push the rc to almost 56 mph smh that's crazy!
The 3S Typhon will do around 40 miles an hour off-road stock. Check out my latest video. If you put 15 tooth pinion in this it will also do 40 miles an hour off-road.
I guess it just depends on what you're interested in. I consider this to be a game changer because it brings features to this price point that really weren't available before
@@DoRC Well, yes, I totally 200% agree on "features to this price" part, but this will only convert more 1/10 enjoyers to the 1/8 fans. But overall RC ppl numbers gona stay the same and if RC world needs one thing more than anything else its the new generation of "hobby grade" racers. And those never (or almost never) get into da hobby with 1/8.
@n00b247 maybe though a 1/8 scale buggy is around the same size as a 1/10 scale monster truck so I'm not sure I would really consider this to be what most people would think of when they picture 1/8 scale
@@DoRC well, 1/10 mt is the reason why "bashing" Is 90% of the "hobby" and racing buggy is on life support. i get it why they did it considering the bottom line but it sure stoped a lot of ppl dead in their tracks from getting a proper RC and not a basher.
This is how you do an economy entry level 1/8 scale basher buggy. Arrma Typhon 3S is just a 1/10 Short Course that is shaped like a 1/8 buggy...not legit...though it is a god buy at the aggressive sale price that comes around once a year or so. Only thing is I'm starting to notice about Team Corally is they change up their designs every cycle, which is great for improving the product, but it seems like it obsoletes their prior models too quickly. Great if you enjoy buying the latest and greatest, not so much if you only want to maintaina small RC roster that you can run for many years.
Not really sure I understand this. All of their 6s/4s vehicles are based on the same platform and share most of the same parts. They do updates pretty frequently which I think is a great thing but it's not really obsoleting older models and you can still get parts for the older models
@@DoRC Some of the confusion is they keep rebranding each iteration of the buggy (as with their other RCs)...Python, Radix, Spark, Synchro. It is hard to track what is what. Where Python and Radix seem very similar (I guess Radix is the improved version?), looks like the Spark got some significant changes. A couple years from now how hard is it going to be to locate parts for a Radix compared to say any version of a Typhon 6S? Heck, I know it was hit or miss for a few years but now that HPI is back in business I can still keep my OG Vorza buggy running with new production parts (not just new-old-stock), and even the old Savage Flux HP (I just installed the new Savage X stub axles on it last weekend with properly implemented 17mm hex hubs!)
They really just waged war on every other brand with this one 😆 ppl would be just silly to buy the arrma or traxxas equivalent with this being available for the same or less. It being a non house hold brand would be the only reason ppl wouldnt buy it.
