Team Corally Kagama 4 Sets A NEW 4s Bashing Standard! RC Of The Year?

[@jake4194]

Love how you get into the technical side of things. Never change!

[@DoRC]

If you guys keep watching them I'll keep making them :-)

[@marlondelgadillo7444]

Your videos are very entertaining and educational, I don't know anything about this hobby and got hooked! I just ordered the Kagama4 and this is going to be my first RC

[@DoRC]

Awesome welcome to the hobby. I'm sure you'll love it.

[@surfside75]

I appreciate all your videos and how you dig in to an RC to show all of us what's going on inside. I'd still go with Kraton 4s v2.5❤

[@DoRC]

Definitely a good car!

[@FlailinMonkey]

Yeah, I think that's the way I'm going. I prefer the longer truggy chassis on the Kraton over the truggified buggy chassis on the Kagama 4s for my style of driving.

[@surfside75]

@FlailinMonkey also arrma 3-4s benefit from the drive shafts having no cups. Just a direct connection using spline drives for all the drive shafts in their trucks.

[@nothing-i1x9l]

@@DoRCAnother fan. The review is very thorough and informative! Just an idea that you could consider: more intensive bashing section at the end, like other youtuber do!

It's pretty impressive!

[@scarifrougeone7225]

Agreed the 4S version is good right out of the box. But it needs the 15T pinion hands down. Good breakdown and complete review of the RC both on the table and the bash runs. Tough RC. Really liked they added a spot for GNSS that was good add to. This RC explosion has got me spinning after being out of it for 25 years. 😂. But the DO RC channel clears it up pretty good. Thanks again my friend. 🏁🏁🏎️🏎️⭐️⭐️

[@lyricofwise6894]

Dang, it looked like it was performing good bashing on the dirt lot, and when u put 6s esc, it withstood it with all the damage in that bash, good informative showcase!

AWESOME Video!! I odered the blue one also. It arrives tomorrow. I can't wait to start working on it and upgrading. This will be my first team corrally. What tires do you recommend for an upgrade? Thanks!!

[@DoRC]

Try the stock ones out first. They're pretty good. The backflip LPs might be a good upgrade though I haven't really messed with it too much yet.

[@specialK319319]

This was my first Corally car. I've only has two days of bashing with it, but ive been VERY impressed with how durable it is. I've had some brutal crashes with it and at a skate park no less, and the rear of the body sometimes gets stuck under the wing, minor scratches besides that, really not much else. Up there with the MT10 and Kraton 6S EXB for stock durability, IMO. My biggest complaint is the stock power on 4S. I might need to 15 tooth swap like you did. They gave it a wheelie bar, yet I can barely get it to wheelie in stock 4S form 😂

[@DoRC]

Definitely go to a 15 tooth. It's a completely different truck.

Maybe though you might want to look at the M2C ones instead. They have whole spacing for pretty much any option out there and I'm confident they'll fit these.

[@mitsuman5555]

Corally has been making some nice design improvements over the last few years and the prices haven't gone up, love to see it. This thing looks beefy.

Not sure. Looking at it it's pretty integrated into the back end so probably not. I think the Jambo wheelie bar will fit though.

[@DoRC]

I don't think you'll be disappointed. It really feels good. The tuning is just about perfect for general bashing. It's hard to get a suspension that can both handle big bumps and big jumps and this one does it

Haven't had any issues with the Synchro and I figure this will be similar.

[@macmccartney5760]

@@DoRC I'd say these are designed far better than the arrma 6s box line, they need some updating

[@ch-vs3fw]

What a great video. Great job on this review. How do you think this compares to the Team Associated MT10? My 10 hasn't broken, but I did replace the front control arms with RPM's before I drove it. Fast on 3S and very tough.

[@DoRC]

Both good. I think this one handles better and probably has a more stout drivetrain for bigger power but it's still a bit of an unknown as it hasn't been out very long

[@AVERAGEJOERC]

I literally put 20 million in almost all my diffs.. it mixes with whats there and your good to go..

[@DoRC]

Same here :)

[@glacialedge]

Any chance that new wing mount and wheelie bar will fit the 6S Kagama? Hope they make something similar for the 6S version.

[@DoRC]

Looks like the mounting holes for the winger the same but I don't know if the wheelie bar will work

[@Boogie_the_cat]

Wing mount and wheelie bar from Garage Life RC $35 and worth every penny. Yeah, it's 3D printed, but let me tell you how strong it is... It's printed with flexible TPU and it's a beast. Funny enough I've never done a wheelie with my Kagama 6, but the mount keeps my wing from shattering as well. My K6 runs so hot I have it geared with a lame 11t pinion and I still can't hit full throttle. Running a Max 8 G2S which i will flush down the toilet next month and swap for a Mamba Monster X. My motor is cool as a cucumber but my ESC regularly hits 200 degrees on 6s and I'm tired of bashing for 5 minutes, looking at temps, bashing 5 more minutes, 🔥👀. This may be a "me" issue as I run a 2+ pound battery, and maybe my Max 8 ESC was a dud. Still, I'll be really happy to finally put it in the toilet where it belongs, because it's been a big headache. PS: by "the toilet" I mean my Felony, because it'll be nice to have a sensored setup on that car. But as far as powering a 15+ pound truck, the Max 8 G2S belongs in the toilet with my rubber ducky.

[@stefan-norge]

One more great and helpful review. Well done, great content. One question: this one ore the Arrma VORTEKS 223S BLX?

[@DoRC]

Depends. If you want something a little smaller go with the 223S. If you want something a little bigger or no for sure you're going to be upgrading something like the ESC or the receiver I say go for this. The only caveat is that this is still a little bit of an unknown quantity as it's brand new. It is based on the Synchro which has a good reputation so I suspect it will be good long-term but that's always a risk.

[@stefan-norge]

@ Thanks for your reply.

[@boduke9428]

This looks great. If i didn't already have the 2.5 Kraton this would fill that slot. I actually prefer metal chassis but that wasn't an option in this category that i know of until now.

[@DoRC]

Yeah most vehicles in this size use plastic chassis.

[@rrrccc1571]

Looks great! This or the 223s Vorteks that you reviewed if you could only get one of them?

[@DoRC]

That's a tough one. They're both great cars. I'd probably go for the 223S just because it's a more known quantity. I am pretty confident that this car is going to be good but it's only been out a few days so there's always the possibility that something could come up.

[@django2467]

The asuga arms and axles should give you a little more width i love corally trucks over traxxas any day cant wait till they release a short course truck and on road speed basher

[@DoRC]

Yeah that's one of the great things about the TC cars. There's a lot of cross compatibility so upgrades are plentiful

Great reviews man. I had the skeeter and loved it. Reminds me of it a bit. Do you live in Florida? The sandpit/ neighborhood they are building where you shot the video looks a lot like all the ones they build in central Florida where i live. Just curious!

[@DoRC]

Maybe:)

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

If I hadn't just picked up an EXB Kraton, I'd be jumping on this. I can't help but treat every RC as a race car, I don't really want wheelies. I like 200k mid, 10k ish front, and heavier rear, like 30-50k. Makes it drive kinda like a 2WD.

[@DoRC]

Nothing wrong with that. I can't help but treat every car like a stunt truck :-)

[@leegengxiang2173]

The hinge pin block at 5:01 looks more likely stamped. Machining marks are not like that. Marks along the thickness indicate the edges was met with a tool and die edge. - edit which is even better as a flat stamp usually adds hardness.

[@DoRC]

Maybe but if it's stamped it's a really really good stamping and better than the vast majority of the industry. Usually the sheer marks are very obvious and this looks really clean.

[@JmanRc]

Nice definitely like the looks of it looks cool...

[@DoRC]

Yeah I think the body design looks really nice on this one

Small narrow band of heatshrink solves the pin concern

[@sebz1337]

Really nice! ❤ What would be the purpose of the Kagama4 if I already have the 6s version?

[@DoRC]

Probably none practical. If you want something smaller or just want to try something different those would be great reasons but for a variety you'd probably be better off buying something else.

[@sebz1337]

@DoRC Okay, thanks. That's what I thought. The body looks amazing though, I wish there was something similar for the 6s!

[@dylanwhite6539]

I generally like 1M weight fluid. I put maybe a pea sized amount of 20M and then the rest with 1M in my erevo 2.0. Rustler 4s and slash I ended up at 1M, but I used to run 300k in those. I have thought about going down in my slash 4x4 because I don’t want a SCT to wheelie.

[@DoRC]

Yeah that's the beauty of the center differential. You get to tune it however you want. I mostly do stunts and tricks so I go pretty thick but it's nice to be able to reduce wheelies

I agree the body is much better than the 6s Kagama. I would have liked to see all the same tooled steel parts (outdrives etc) as on the 6s. One of the attractions of the Kagama is its bulletproof drivetrain and when you take that away, it's a bummer. I'm bo expert of course, i learned all my Kagama factoids from Do RC first, just gotta say that up front.

[@DoRC]

Yeah it would have been nice to see all the same parts but honestly it's those parts that set it apart from the more expensive cars so if they had used them it would then just be that more expensive car.

If you want to get your parts at the LHS Arrma It's hard to beat. Redcat has also been making some moves that I've been impressed with.

[@DoRC]

@iainlee4680 in my opinion it's better. You get a center brace and an overall more usable car. I'm not sure what secret sauce TC uses but it's amazing to have a car that is composed over really rough terrain yet can still land a 15 ft high jump without bouncing upside down.

How would you rate this against the Valkyrie?? For 300$ i don’t think it has it beat.. From what I see, the only advantage are the driveshafts…I really don’t like the plastic shafts.. Doesn’t seem to be as fast as the Redcat..but still looks pretty good. Hard pass for me…maybe the Punisher??

[@DoRC]

I'd say it's well above the Valkyrie. The Valkyrie is fun but it's not a very precise instrument. It doesn't handle the best tends to get jammed up with debris has fairly vague steering etc. This car handles way better and I think will be a better vehicle long-term. Don't get me wrong The Valkyrie is incredible value for money but that cost saving does show.

[@michaelsager3616]

How does it compare to the Kagama 6s?

[@DoRC]

Feels like it's a little brother. That's not really a huge surprise given that it kind of is but the suspension tuning and everything is on point just like the 6s one. Out of the box it's pretty darn slow but that's easy to fix. Overall it feels like the 6s just smaller

Just some random junk I had in my gear bag. I would recommend tekno. They make good stuff

[@christopherzatalokin8652]

Without some good fans they likely are looking to keep down on heat with the original pinion/spur setup.

[@DoRC]

Maybe though even with The 15 tooth pinion it was still fine. Obviously a fan is a good idea but doesn't seem necessary with 15

[@dyllwoods4791]

Go through 20pks and review the diffs please

[@DoRC]

I'm not sure I have 20 packs on my Synchro but I do have quite a few. The differentials are a known quantity as they've been around a while. They're pretty durable though the output cuffs aren't quite as long wearing as the S2 ones that you can get on the Kagama.

[@dyllwoods4791]

Thanks for this info mate from nz

[@brianoliveira698]

I literally just add grease to each differential. Whatever is in it + grease front, center, and rear diff

[@DoRC]

In most cases that would actually thin out the fluid that's in there and grease and silicone oil don't really mix well.

[@chriszak3282]

I see these on sale for 379.99, which makes it more tempting

[@DoRC]

Yeah that's kind of the standard price. Hobby recreation products is the main distributor and they always have a $30 off coupon going

[@rcjoe406]

Beast 😊

[@DoRC]

Definitely!

[@boduke9428]

I really hope TC starts building large scale trucks and buggies. I'd love an Asuga XXXLR. A 1/5 scale 4x4 8s basher buggy. It's insane to me that nobody offers one.

[@DoRC]

Yeah it would be nice to see more large scale competition.

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

Losi makes the DBXL and DBXL-E. They don't seem to sell well.

[@DoRC]

@BeardRubEnjoyer Yeah but those aren't really hardcore bashers. They're cool but I'd like to see more things like the X-Max and 8s arrmas

[@TheoriginalRcRat]

It would be my second Team Corally 😎

[@DoRC]

I don't think you'd be disappointed :-)

[@TheoriginalRcRat]

@DoRC Is the pinion gear 32 pitch or mod 1? Also is it limited to a few pinion sizes?

[@FullOnRC]

Just put my order in.

[@DoRC]

Nice!

[@FullOnRC]

@@DoRC My 4s Sketer has a special place in my collection. Love that car.

[@DoRC]

@FullOnRC you'll love this too then!

[@jguillermoii]

I hear a lot of buzz about this brand but it's not available anywhere in British Columbia. Traxxas is the only brand that has the part support here.

[@DoRC]

Yeah I don't think they have much of a presence up in Canada.

[@josephbowman5590]

How were the temps on 6s?

[@DoRC]

I didn't have any issues but whether or not you do will probably just depend on the type of train you're rashing in and you're bashing style. It's a pretty decent sized motor for the vehicle so, especially with a fan, it'll probably be fine.

[@MuscleAKAOzzy]

the first team corally would be Asuga !! this is just a small kagama! Nothing out there like the Asuga atm😮

[@DoRC]

You're correct. I don't think there are any other large buggies other than 1/5 scale

[@EJ-74]

Pretty dang impressive….

[@DoRC]

Definitely! Thanks for watching :-)

[@toolbaggers]

No 6s GPS?

[@DoRC]

So here's the thing. I accidentally left it in the little holder during the 4S bashing session and it is gone. I spent an hour trying to find it and I can't. I could see it on my phone but just could not figure out where it was. I even used a little app that gave me signal strength and no dice. It must have gotten buried or something.

[@GearWorksRc]

I’d actually take that over the Arrma OutKast I love all there vehicles but never really been a fan of the OutKast.

[@DoRC]

Both good trucks but I would probably take this one too.

[@zacklothamer9533]

This is awesome but I don't really consider $400 a budget model you're at the same price level as Traxxas and hpi.

[@DoRC]

It's budget for what it is. Most of the other 4S 1/10 scale cars are quite a bit more expensive.

[@kylarstern7627]

In Australia that is $200 less then the Kagama 6s. It wouldnt make any sense to buy it at all. Christ i need to move

[@DoRC]

Yeah the price is definitely differ depending on where you live.

[@krisbeard]

Anybody losing front axle pin?

[@DoRC]

Did the spring retainer come loose?

[@nothing-i1x9l]

Maybe truggified Syncro4 is even better?😅

[@DoRC]

That's pretty much what this is.

[@fishininjun]

haha, I literally do the same thing for my center diff. just add a dab of traxxas 20mil

[@DoRC]

Hi you too. Easy and works well

[@boostfrog]

They may be a bit ugly, but Corally is killing it lately with the build quality/ per dollar ratio.

[@DoRC]

The good thing is it looks better in person than it does in pictures and video. It's a pretty decent looking car
