Review on ARRMA RC Truck 1/8 KRATON 6S V5 4WD BLX Speed Monster Truck With Spektrum Firma RTR, Red, ARA8608V5T1 by Brian Forbis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Screw tightening necessary!

Product arrived on time and customer service at the hub was great. The packaging was damaged a little bit but it doesn’t hurt the performance.You are going to have to tighten the majority of the screws. And make sure you tighten the wheels down. Mine showed up hand tight. I only knew to check these things because I read other reviews.You will also have to set the end points for the steering servo. Failure to do so can result in premature servo failure. You can find plenty of tutorials online.I’m not impressed with the quality of the decals either. They are very thin and poorly placed you should also shim the differentials with the provided shims.After doing all the precautionary you will also want to set the punch ( it comes set at 4) you can take it up to 9. I took it out and ran a couple packs through it in the rain and it did everything it’s supposed to except for steering very good. The servo saver is non adjustable and makes steering at speed sloppy and wide.With all that being said This is my second kraton! First one is a v3. I just got it today so I can’t give a long term review. Buuuuuut so far so good.

Pros
  • The truck’s large and rugged frame makes it easy to take on even the toughest obstacles with ease
Cons
  • Risk of damage during shipping
