not really, the Kraton EXB V2 just came out not to long ago, id get one of those over the V6

[@wheredagasat]

@@harlyquin why

[@harlyquin]

@@wheredagasat just my opinion, but it also comes with better parts

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

Incredible value from Arrma, can't believe it's got the EXB chassis. I like the colors, personally. I don't need literally everything to be red and black. My daughter will really enjoy it.

[@OGRCFanatic]

Not gonna lie, that does look awesome. And personally I don’t mind these colors. Everything can’t be black, blue, or red. I’m guessing this new Kraton approaches $600? I already have the 6s Arrma notorious and that thing is a beast! I added a heat sink and cooling fan to the motor and it’s just awesome to drive. I like this new kraton, but right now one 6s arrma is all my bankbook can handle. 😂 Great video, Greg. 👊🏼

Not sure about the clipless body popping loose, but you put an excellent vid together with the bonus speed run test 👊. 4s looked perfect at the skatepark. Great stuff my friend!!!

[@agoogleuser7784]

This has to be by far the best basher out now!

[@RC-4-LIFE]

The color you got is okay but way better than the other one, but nothing a can of your favorite paint can’t cure! Awesome truck for what you pay for it! I’m soooo happy they got rid of the red anodized paint on the hubs and shocks! I’m tired of using oven cleaner to strip all the red off! Glad they listened! Arrma does such a great job with upgrading their trucks instead of just painting it different colors and calling it EXTREME and adding $100 to the price like its competitors do!

[@Jeckler]

All the new v6 vids I've seen today made me take my v3 out for a bash after work this afternoon. Still love it.

[@djcrash77]

I like the color scheme! Gives late 80's/early 90's vibes!

[@gillyboyNY]

I like the proposed dig on Traxxas MpH 😂 Traxxas mph is probably for ideal settings and relative humidity and altitude 😂

[@OGRCFanatic]

Yea but at least traxxas takes good care of you with second to none parts support and the most inexpensive replacement parts in the hobby. Once things start breaking on this kraton, be prepared to dig much deeper into those pockets for parts. I’m a fanboy of all the big brands. Traxxas, Arrma, Losi, Associated. But I find myself driving my Arrma cars the least because it’s so expensive to repair them if something goes sideways.

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

You pay for the arrma performance sooner or later but that’s the cost of racing . Greg been Rc ing every Rc there is for decades , I’ll bet you he tell you not many if any Rcs that Rip like a kraton . To me it’s the closest thing to ripping a dirtbike l/atv yourself

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

But I know what you mean my last kraton still on the shelf new and I rip different configurations of the Typhon mostly. I did run through a maxx n your right the parts are cheap diffs still good but it will never rip like arrma

[@cwatson42785]

@OGRCFanatic I have first hand experience with Horizons part support and they are awesome as well. They take care of you no questions asked. They also have 2 year warranty while traxxas only gives you a 3 month warranty which is a joke! So how exactly is traxxss part support better?? Can you explain what makes them better than arrma? Also as someone who owns many rcs from all the brands you're going to pay alot for parts on any 1/8 scale rc or larger. That's just how it is. You don't think that the bigger trsaxxas vehicles parts aren't expensive as well? Because they are. Also if the expense of parts is something you worry about than nothing beats their 3s line for cheap parts. This hobby in general is not cheap, period. I don't think your comment is that fair and is a bit biased. I see comments like this alot and it seems to come from diehard traxxas fans that pose as arrma owners and are deceptive about their "experience" with "their arrma" trucks.

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

@@cwatson42785 guys like you me could call horizon and they take care of us , problem is people take advantage of warranty most of time it’s driver error. They look at your accounts and can tell by your ordering if it’s faulty product or likely your a knucklehead. They still will take care of user errors but did you ever read how petty people are . They’ll buy car are clearance and complain the plastic mirrors broke off 😆

NICE! 4S for me appears to be the sweet spot. Looks like the Kraton was running on auto pilot / cruise control. Very controllable on all the surfaces. Thanks for sharing really good video and product review. By the way the multi colors are the way to go they stand out just like the Kraton RC performance. 🏁🏁🏎️🏁🏁

[@josh5549]

Nice, they add EXB chassis, bumpers, and all 3 differentials are EXB also

[@rodneylyn1604]

i was thinking they were going to a 1/7 chassis and a diff redesign but the things they did on this v6 is still pretty nice , When can I get my hands on those parts upgrades,

[@surfside75]

Thought the same. The 6s line needs a beefed up fully splined drive system. Not buying 6s until then. 2 mojave 6s custom 1 Kraton v5 custom

[@402Racing]

Sorry if i didnt get it...was the 80mph just a jab at other manufacturers claimed speeds? This one comes with the "speed gearing" from the factory, i own a big rock 6S and i have never went full speed even with the 14T gearing, it went 67mph which is super impressive, no changes needed...so, is there a mention on what to do to actually reach 80mph? thats crazy fast territory, at least for an off road truck.

[@psrco8058]

Did you bent the chassis on the skatepark??

[@brian7316]

I was wondering if you can put the body posts back on so we can use body clips ? I have different bodies that that use body clips and prefer that instead of new push button design..I never had a problem with body clips with tethers.

[@patrickbilodeau3785]

I purchased a 6S Mojave (still waiting for it). But now considering returning it and getting this new Kraton ! If I had more room I'd have both ! The Kraton is more versatile !

[@myron1045]

Better than the 6s exb? Getting ready to purchase and wondering if i should maybe get this one instead?

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

They are neck and neck, now. The EXB has fancy diff covers, nicer metal shock towers (I think). This new one has the updated steering knuckle and body support. I don't think you can go wrong with either. I'm still happy with my EXB, though I feel the jealousy for the new upgrades.

[@collinmorris]

EXB is still superior for heavy bashing.

[@allandebuff1416]

EXB has aluminum front and rear bulkheads.

[@Naginc]

Oh definitely get the newest one. It seems Arrma took some of the better parts off Exb, but this one has thicker straps, much stronger chassis, and ect. I have the exb and it's weird. It really depends how hard you want to bash. If you run lightly anyone of them will work..if you're going to M2c, this model would be better because of the upgrades.

it is nice the arrma finally put a motor fan on the regular blx kraton, it was one of my main problems with the v5. looks pretty good overall

[@loum7008]

All great upgrades that really were required. This truly is RTR. I spent way more than $50. On my V5

[@mattmaclearn263]

It’s good they are putting fans on motor

[@rcdriver]

Agreed!

[@XWXW-lk4jf]

Honestly, I think the bigger pinion gear that it now comes with is what is giving it the additional speed. Not the firmware update. The Kraton exb for example, comes with a 13 tooth pinion that is good for about 60 mph. This one comes with a 16 tooth. This is where that extra speed is coming from. Nonetheless, clever marketing by Arrma regarding alleged firmware update.

[@treysals]

Do you have a link that shows how to get it to 80 mph? I was not able to find on the website. Thanks. Great video.

[@pwalthuis]

Nice looking truck and I actually like the blue and pink body. If I would get one I would get that and eventually paint one myself. Won't be getting it though because my experience with an arrma is not great. I got three RC cars for some light bashing, one being the outcast. And out of the three the outcast is the only one that broke something almost every time I took it out. Last thing was a massive bend in that cheap aluminum chassis.

[@chickenamburgsrc]

now that you've had the v6 and the kagama, which one would you say is the better one?

[@FAKE-NAME]

Do they come actually ready to run or do you need to grease/oil the diffs?

[@mrkevinmbarry]

I’m a fan of the colors. I grew up in the 80’s with the neon colors. I’m buying the one you got but you’re right, they should offer one that’s not as flashy for those of us that want something else

[@Tahia1]

Wow nice video ! Will you test the notorious V6 too ? I'm hesitating between this Kraton and the norotious. I want to backflip all day but i want to do straight line speeding too with my son ! So i need some advices to chose the good one ! I wish you the best !

So was the body popping off a lot? Was it only on landing? That would piss me off. How would one combat that… can you tighten the spring mechanisms?

[@FAKE-NAME]

Noticed you swapped to 4s for the park. Could you have just ran the 6s with throttle trimmed down does that just make it boring? Want to buy a 6s kraton but im definitely not very experienced coming from 2s wltoys 124017's and im not sure if i should go 6s right away or go 4s. Thinking if I do go 6s I could turn down throttle trim until im a little more used to it. That way wouldn't need 2 sets of batteries....would this be a good plan?

Hey if you enjoy great! Personally, I've tried the hot racing, kimbrough, and Treal servo saver on my 6s typhon and 4s kraton, and found the Treal worked best, but still not anywhere near perfect. Thankfully Arrma listens to the people

[@chrisginoc]

@@darrinwoodward14 I second this comment. We can’t forget that true hobbyist will eventually upgrade parts and make it their own. Out of the box “perfection” is fun and all, but is catered towards the person wanting to dip their toes or who maybe doesn’t have time to upgrade. In the end anything that gets people into the hobby is good, but if I had an EXB I wouldn’t upgrade. I actually have the EXB in my cart as we speak on the horizon website.

[@scarifrougeone7225]

Hi Greg! Love this video. Excellent run and unboxing. Anyway I just ordered this beast and was wondering what spec or which battery G2 4S battery you ran in it at the skate park? Or which G2 battery do you suggest? Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work! 🏁🏁🏎️🏁🏁⭐️

[@DasE30Cuz]

I've wanted a basher/stunt truck for a while but not really enough to pay what they cost. But this one coming in at $600, the value is there honestly. It has a ton of EXB parts and I can't see a single thing I'd want to upgrade or change. which actually contributes a lot to that value.

It’s a little hike for me to get to that park, but it’s fun! Sounds like you’re long overdue for an Arrma.
