Rad Speed & Stunt Buggy! Team Corally Radix6 XP RTR ⅛ Off-Road Brushless Buggy Review | RC Driver

Having lots of options in this hobby is what helps make it so great. When it comes to 1/8th-scale off-road buggies, there are certainly plenty of options out there… and now there are more! Team Corally keeps expanding their line-up of RC car offerings and they just added something new to the mix. Well, kind of new. It’s a new styling of a familiar buggy they offer. Here we have the new Team Corally Radix 6 ⅛ Off-Road Brushless Buggy. This 6S capable electric buggy shared the same platform as the Python, but just with different exterior styling. With high power capability and it’s strong design, it’s a good candidate for a fun basher buggy. But Team Corally has some racing routes and so this buggy could also be used as a fun entry level racer. In this video, we give it our famous detailed overview and take it out for a rip in a few different settings. Does the Team Corally brand have your eye? Take a look at our review to help you get all the info you need on the exciting new Radix 6!

Very nice review and test. You put it really through some serious beating and this is what people want to see. Continue the good work

Thank you! I think some critical eyes are on these cars and I wanted to take them to the extreme to show what they are capable of. Now when people drive them as intended, I think they will be happy with the performance.

I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting much out of this buggy but consider me impressed after watching this review

[@joseCalderon1976]

Yeah it did pretty well in my eyes. When I had my Typhon 6s, I jumped the crap out of it. I managed to bend the shock towers but not the chassis. I did add a 7075 rear shock tower and chassis braces. So I think that the Typhon 6s is more durable than this rig after the upgrades 🤔

[@ValFPV]

@@joseCalderon1976 I didn't really jump mine and it's got a slight curve down the middle of the chassis.

[@joseCalderon1976]

@@ValFPV Yeah then that's not good at all. Does it have plastic chassis braces? Meh, I would take the V4 Typhon 6s over this any day anyways.

The slo-mo helps see what's going on. The way it's bouncing off of its chassis on the landings which has caused some of those cartwheels, it could use much heavier shock oil for bashing. Cool buggy though!

Nice video I have the radix 6 and the python 6s v2 and I'm really happy with those very good Buggys and I order the arrma felony I think I don't need more for now lol

[@GoFindAsafeSpace]

I'm really liking this buggy! Especially since they've changed the name and body. Not so much an arrma rip off anymore. Also, theirs some things on here that may make it a better buggy over the typhon. For instance, the sway bar saddles are metal. Very nice, team corally😃👊

[@mojaverc1585]

Either somebody at hh talked to them or they just saw all the people saying arrma rip off and they changed a few things. Which is a good thing

[@GTMatukka]

Arrma racing pedigree?No. Team Corally racing pedigree?Yes! 🙃

[@mzondi1970]

This are a typhon 6s. I don't race and I don't really bash that hard I don't jump nowhere near as far as you was jumping. Amain also has the serpent buggy on sale I forgot the exact model something like xrte. Parts availability in my area is not great on either model. So what would you recommend with the type of driving I'm describing as far as durability goes I'm not worried about all out speed

[@gregmancari4271]

I wonder if Horizon gave them a call in regards to the similar name and styling. Not saying anyone copied anyone, the python was quite a bit different under the hood, but the similarity of styling and names was no coincidence and I have a feeling HH was not happy. I am happy to see them take the body and naming to something else. Car looks great.

[@marsbase3729]

Great review and awesome barell roll 13:42! 👍😎👍

[@christianwornall1047]

Looks great and very fast and quick would it keep up with my Traxxas rustler vxl 🤔

[@dmc182]

Team Corally has become pre-Horizon owned Arrma. Designs of modern truggues and buggies are all similar. But I think Team Corally is really taking Arrma's business model and following that playbook.

[@cybron7089]

The new middle differential is a big plus 👍 the python was good, now this new version seems great to me. A lot of little improvements too.

[@rcdriver]

Agreed. It’s actually a good sign they are onto Version 2 of the other cars. It shows that the products have staying power and that the company is listening and improving the platforms for consumers.

[@didgeteria9068]

1 - Arrma typhon or Corally python? Hard choice here.... 2 - Absima Stoke 6s or Corally Radix 6s? (Absima is like arrma and Horizon hobby , i think corally owns Absima not sure though) the Absima stoke 6s looks beautiful. But also the Radix . What you guy think ? I can only buy one right now. What would you buy first?

[@deant6627]

@rcdriver Hi, how has the Radix 6 currently held up for you these days? Would you personally prefer the Radix 6 or the Typhon 6s?

[@ThatSwedishGuy]

Second comment from me now I've seen the test. Great and honest test, well done. And as you said indeed that was some test you put the car through :) I do like the new tyres, the body looks amazing and now with a separate nose cone. The centre diff makes a wicked sound.

Dementor V2 had just been released, go to world.corally.com or corally.com and check it out.

[@krazy88korean]

Looks like a good buggy. Will be fun to see how it compares long term to something like the Typhon. They both are pillow ball but the Typhon looks to have a little more adjustment in regards to the turnbuckles and other suspension linkages.

[@rcdriver]

Version 1 of the Python had adjustable turnbuckles. It would have been nice if they used them here on the Radix and moved to fixed on V2 of the Python. Guess since they don’t get adjusted much on a basher, they just eliminated a potential weak point of a turnbuckle pulling out of a rod end.

[@theonelikechris8415]

I've been watching a few videos on this car and even checked Corally's info and no one gives a measurement of the battery tray. Everyone mentions there is a limit to the size of battery but how is it that no one has actually measured it? Guess I'll have to wait to order batteries until i get the car lol.
