The thing that makes me think that there are more vehicles coming is the Senton 6s never received updates in March with the rest of the vehicles. Someone brought that up on Facebook and the Horizon rep said that "Arrma has big plans for the Senton"
But at this point who knows outside of Arrma and Horizon.

Where did you read that about the tires? That’s been my concern since minute I read about it. Having to replace tires that quickly was one of the problems the Losi6 had. If this is true, tires better be reasonable priced.
I might have to reconsider my order. I’m not interested in going through another tire nightmare

I did like the feel of the tires when I saw the car. But if they are wearing out that fast, 1 run is ridiculous, 3 runs is not good. At around $60 at set, looking at it costing $20 every time someone runs the car. I’ve got time still to change my mind. But if they are wearing out that fast, it will really hurt sales.

Other then the one video for the other version, I haven’t looked for videos for these. In past I’ve found the videos by those chosen to get a vehicle early to be overly positive. So I stopped watching them.

My one experience with Arrma doesn’t exactly make me happy either. I drank the Kool Aid on the Big Rock 1/8 scale. Since then Arrmas been sued by Traxxas and now my expensive vehicle is no longer. I pretty much don’t run it anymore. Just sitting in the corner broken, collecting dust.

I feel bad for the guys who bought the Nero, it had great potential to be a good rc. Knowing Arrma they were most likely starting the work on updates for things.
I feel the same way about Arrma BK, I bought a first gen Outcast and completely destroyed it on 4s. But most of the past issues have been fixed, except that damn wing mount, even the aftermarket ones break pretty easy, I did eventually have a RPM one that lasted over a year though. And I also bought the Typhon 3s the day it came out, first time out with it I broke a front a arm and ended up waiting almost 3 months for a replacement! Rpm released their aftermarket a arms like 2-3 weeks later. Come on Arrma and aftermarket company almost had upgrade parts available before you had stock parts available get with the program.
The 4s platform has the same a arm breakage issue, watch the Aussie Rc Playground running video of the Kraton 4s and see how easy those a arms break, and guess what no replacement a arms have been available since launch and they won't be available for another couple of weeks.
Just saying that even though it is 90% Typhon, luck would say that the one part that everyone breaks easily is going to be the part that Arrma doesn't have available.

I did get one positive response on the tires. One of the early testers in reporting 7 runs on the tires. Not sure yet if that enuff. But it’s a bit of good news.

I don’t know why I said Big Rock lol! I meant Nero. My truck is the Nero and I have spent some money on upgrading the driveshafts out of necessity. Now it sits with a broken rear diff.

Didn’t get a phone call. So didn’t arrive today. I checked with store last week. They hadn’t been told of any delay, also no specific date. But were unsure how many they were getting. I wasn’t only to pre-order. I’m still on fence about it. It’s not that don’t want it. It’s the will I actually use it enuff. It’s the tire thing that still has me questioning the purchase. The store took their Limitless to a drag racing demo. And wiped out the tires in a hurry. They used a set of foams that did work. But had almost too much traction.

It’s been awhile. But they looked larger the standard 1/8 tires to me.
