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

This car is fast and durable! We did some crazy jumps with lots of hard crashes and nothing broke. Nothing at all. I’m impressed and very happy with this car. I also have an E-revo 2.0 and the Kraton was more durable out of the box in my opinión. Both are Similar as far as speed and handling, but I had to put a lot of money into the erevo for the Same durability as the Kraton had out of the box. The body clips are tight, really tight and a pain in the . I like the body system and durability of the E-revo body much better, hands down, but the rest of the Kraton is better out of the box. Especially the battery tray. You have many more battery options because the battery tray is larger and can accommodate more types and sizes of HARD CASE batteries. Running the soft shell/case batteries like Traxxas uses (and it’s the only type that fit in E-revos) in the sand leaves pits in the shell of the soft batteries. Where I live and drive in desert terrain, soft shell/case batteries don’t make me feel comfortable after they get pitted so quickly and easily. I’m worried about damaging them to the point of fire/explosion. The Kraton being able to use hard case batteries to me is much better in desert terrains. I still like other things about my E-revo, but I have to say if I was only buying one of the two as a basher, I would buy the Kraton. Time will tell if I still feel that way in the future, because it’s my first Arrma and I don’t have any experience with their customer service or parts availability/prices. But out of the box with the first drive, I love the Kraton 6S V5. I will update if I find any problems. I was running with dual Zeee 7200mah 3S Lipo batts that was also purchased from Revain. Pleased with the combination for speed and battery run time for the price.
