So, I couldn't resist buying this for the price it costs (it cost £135), it's just embarrassing how cheap it is compared to Arrma's offerings.. :(

I present you the Punisher XD..!! (they also do the Furago XD - looks like a Kraton)

Yes, yes it's brushed, but trust me it's still super fun..

The current release batch had some faults that were found out after YouTubers got hold of it earlier in the year, so to my knowledge Corally held it back and added the parts needed to fix it in the box, the next batch will come with all the parts fitted from the factory.

The parts in question are shock shafts/rodends, battery tie down and the servo.

Servo was originally all plastic gears now it's all metal, the shock shafts are now thicker at the rodend, end of the shaft and the battery tie down has a redesigned clip system.. Thanks Corally for the updates :thumbs-up:

Comes with a full size shorty battery and a decent 2s/3s usb-c charger that is way bigger than anything I've ever seen in a mini..!!

Replacement parts in the box, complete with QR code fitting instructions..:thumbs-up:

Three minutes later and the servo is on its way out the car 😂 quite strange, it has a 3 channel 2 in 1 esc/receiver 60A..

Servo out..... New servo comes pre-fitted with servo horn mounted/centered and ready to go..!!

Shocks are all the same length and size, full plastic with threaded body's and two piece shock caps, they take 500cst oil form the factory..
Hard to see from my pictures but it's like the original shafts have either M2 or M2.5 thread (I didn't measure them) and the new ones look to be M3 thread size.

All back together, highlighted the wheels just for fun..

Pre first bash..

Post bash, the car's in one piece, there's a crack in the rear wing, supposedly the wing is flexible which it is, but one tumble and it broke..:( other than that it's a great little mini basher..

All in all I think it's great for what it costs, it's stop gap fun inbetween running bigger cars, and I can confirm it fits in your average sized backpack..!!😍
Who knows, maybe Corally will make a brushed version in the future..
 
How would you compare the Corally mini punisher/furago to the arrma minis and traxxas minis?

For the price, here in the states at $179, not a bad price for it.
@Rocketzx1 .. I have some Arrma and Traxxass Mini's, I truly believe the Corally could end up the king of the minis.

My Mini Maxx I have beaten the living snot out of and it just won't break 😎 but it's totally box stock 2s, my Mini XRT is 3s, again pretty unbreakable and nuts on 3s it's almost too much, I have Mojave Groms, box stock, modded and brushed, they're great but too small for any off roading in my opinion, first one got modded then immediately broke driveshaft pins..😠

They're all fun in their own way, I generally only use them as in-between cars and for that they are great.

I think if you compared them all on price, then the Corally wins every single time, Arrma and Traxxass should be ashamed of their pricing for mini's.!!
