[@rcdriver]

[@harlyquin]

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

[@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.

[@JJ-lu6mg]

I think they did an amazing job with this V6 Kraton, but I do wish they had one or two more color options.

[@TRAVELER197]

How dare Arrma, to actually make some much needed changes and not raise the price by 50%! I wonder what company does things like that?😮😮😊

[@m2cracing168]

ARRMA just keeps nailing it!!!! thanks for posting

[@rcdriver]

They’re on a roll!

[@cwatson42785]

@@m2cracing168 #1 Rc company in the game right now! I don't see how anyone could dispute that

[@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. 👊🏼

[@Pauly_______]

I do miss mine ever since I put tracks on it 2yrs ago . That loop was outstanding!!

[@darrinwoodward14]

So I got a new v5 kraton a couple months ago,and it came with the same servo,esc and reciever,just minus the fan on the motor,which i put a twin fan on.i absolutely love it!

[@chrisginoc]

Exactly. Clipless is not enough to upgrade. I have two Arrma Grom’s with clipless and it’s trash. Any dirt jams them

[@NicholasLoan]

The servo saver is a major upgrade

[@darrinwoodward14]

@NicholasLoan i just put a hot racing adjustable servo saver on mine.also upgraded to aluminum front and rear hubs,and aluminum diff cups.thing is rock solid!

[@NicholasLoan]

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.

[@MuscleAKAOzzy]

you have some serious rc driving skills ..flawless!!

[@DSMOffRoad]

Man they really knocked it out of the park. Push button body release and that pink & blue body looks awesome. That skate park is epic too 😎

[@rcdriver]

Good stuff all around! 😎

[@nightieknight6472]

Should I get the sledge or the kraton? I am going back and forth, the prices are the same right now! Never owned an Aarma. and is the EXB that much better?

[@StevenYDG69]

I have no idea why anyone would even think of purchasing a sledge with these kinds of rigs available 😊

[@Bziiit.]

That thing as been seriously upgraded. Congrats to Arrma!

[@rcdriver]

Yup! Lots of goodies on this one and a killer truck to drive!

[@harlyquin]

so everyone has forgotten about the Kraton exb v2 that came out not to long ago?

[@Pauly_______]

A spare clear customizable body would be great

[@shuster1921]

I own an Army of Arrma's, looking like that army needs to get bigger🤩

[@rcdriver]

More is better! 😆

[@katherinecurtis1747]

arrmy

[@crimsonfancy]

It's been a few years but all my trucks are Arrma. Best value, best fun. Thanks for a great review! New body mount system I'd like to learn more....hope it works out.

[@godson2oo44]

That dome flip took absolute bravery and you executed perfectly. Good bashing bud

[@kylemanausa2315]

Super cool! I think this will be my next purchase!

[@thegreattreon0177]

I have a version 2 Kraton and I love it! To see how good this truck is just blows my mind!

[@josh5549]

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

[@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.

[@mattmaclearn263]

It’s good they are putting fans on motor

[@rcdriver]

Agreed!

[@stefan-norge]

Great review. Very useful imformation. Superb spots for the footage.

[@kaosr.c]

Awesome review and bash mate ... looks like i need me one of these !

[@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.

[@MrMad2424]

Awesome review Greg! Great looking truck for sure! Been a while since i heard the name Hobbico....I bet several have never heard of them. 😅Nearly 7 yrs since they went off the map.

[@rcdriver]

I bet you’re right! 😆 Thanks brother!

[@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

[@gatorrcgames]

I have had the first 6s kraton for 6 or so years. I have rebuilt it several times, due to have too much at a skate park. Some good upgrades for a new kraton.

[@steelerrodney]

A beast!!!! Great price

[@rcdriver]

Yes and yes! 😎

[@steelerrodney]

I have to get one!! Especially with that speed and power.

[@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.

[@jasondearden1394]

67mph = REAL SPEED

[@rcdriver]

I thought it was going to be the advertised 65mph. +2 was a nice bonus! 😎

[@SpeedrunTnRC]

I like it wonder how long until I can buy the body mounts and body

[@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 😆

[@CCxRC]

Great driving! The skatepark was insane. 15:52 flip was wild.

[@rcdriver]

I’ve only watched that clip like a dozen times. 😆

[@williamkirk6512]

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?

[@loum7008]

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

[@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

[@Hungrybird474]

Can’t wait to see someone throw in a max6 1650kv combo 😊. It’s insane fast . I did it and wanted the stock one as well afterwards so the build is almost complete on my second k6s . Hopefully I can get this body on there

[@milknutcheerio4060]

would love to see if any of the new parts are compatible with v5 if i ever wanted to upgrade 😄

[@scarifrougeone7225]

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. 🏁🏁🏎️🏁🏁

[@KouroshKhamisy]

Colors are crazy good not boring

[@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.

[@malsmith2012]

Awesome video Greg.. I'd love to see you cut some laps at RC madness.. He great to hear how it handles on track...

[@djcrash77]

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

Very tight. Pushes out the cradle a bit, but I got it in there.

[@shuster1921]

Brother, you have the Greatest spots to drive your cars, from bashing to crawling to race tracks, color me envious!! Makes for some Excellent videos👊🤩

[@rcdriver]

I spend a looooot of time on the road to get to those spots. Great to hear people enjoy it.

[@harlyquin]

Didnt they do a Kraton EXB V2 with a 7075 chassis not to long ago? is this better than that or the same?

[@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.

[@V8chump]

Oh man I hope this is the new truggy king. Arrma does basher suspension so well, it’s so plush, so now that some of the issues are fixed I hope it’s a good truck! Please tell me the diffs are better!

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

You not going to see that in a few rips ., I suspect they are because left out the plates . Duperbash is really good with arrma diffs he says these are strongest .

[@Batchat2352]

The exb have red shocks. Only the foreteam and TlR typhon had black bodies. No more popping nice red under the body. It was arrma signature

[@joshcutlip7548]

This happens all the time just made my kraton 4s just about bullet proof then this comes out. I want one !

[@warehouse1429]

Always wanted a 6s kraton! But I would do a clear body painted custom

Thanks! Driving and videoing at the same time at the skate park was a bit tricky with this one. 😆

[@jeremycravens6973]

Not my favorite colors, but atleast it's something different. And that makes arrma what 1 body out of the last hundred that you might not like. And there's always clear bodies. That skate park looked amazing! Thanks Greg

[@lyricofwise6894]

It runs so smooth🔥 The dome of doom seems dangerous with a metallic fast rc tho

[@rcdriver]

I stood back far for that. Especially after the earlier incident in the video.

[@craigtriacca3967]

That was a sick jump at the skate park nice vid

[@rcdriver]

Yeah, that could have gone either way. Little punch of throttle right at the end rotated it enough.

[@eleis9380]

Thank you!

[@raymondcreighton1691]

Where is the bmx track and the skate park?

[@V8chump]

I’d love to see a follow up tuning video. Put some thicker oil in those shocks and check the diffs…. I’ve almost never seen a properly filed factory diff but then again this isn’t a production model

[@sethreinhard7900]

Love the new look man. Glad I waited and did not buy any of the other new models out

[@kevincain6843]

Should have went with Paint jobs similar to the brushless Mojave groms. These are ok just really liked the grom schemes. To me the 1/8 is the best Kraton version. I think its the right size for bashing and not break as easily as the 5th.

I might have to check out that skatepark on my trips to CT. I’ve been meaning to go to the Wolcott one but this looks way better. The new Arrma looks awesome but I think the Notorious looks better. I wouldn’t mind one as I haven’t had an Arrma since the release of the OG 6s Outcast.

[@rcdriver]

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.

[@BashOnHobbies]

I’ve had many wars in my head over what cars I was buying this year and Traxxas won. Mostly because I wanted an X-Maxx again as I had to sell mine a few years back to pay rent and utilities after getting divorced. Next years around the corner sooo maybe a 4s outcast and a 6s notorious will find a new home here 😂

[@CrazyRC_Cars]

whats the price?

[@1Stunna2323]

I can’t decide between these two for RC Car of the year: Redcat Ascent 18 or Traxxas Mini Maxx

Recently replaced the 6s Mojave's V2 Spektrum esc and motor with the new Hobbywing 200 amp sensored system. Had I known this was coming out, I would have saved the money and just perforned the update. The Hobbywing system is not worth the money. The stock Spekrum system offers the same throttle control and the truck is faster with the Spektrum system. Waate of money.

[@matrixrc28]

To answer your question. I don’t like the body color scheme. And I know they have a reason for it but will stay silent on it to see how it sells. However everything underneath is excellent except for the clip-less body mechanics. I know it’s convenient but like Traxxas body system it is annoying. Especially if you’re bashing hard having fun. And please why do they not make the cars with cvd axles all around we will loose less dog bones that way. Overall I give it 4/5 stars ⭐️

[@mhods4457]

That color scheme reminds me a very particular logo/flag that absolutely disgusts me. I hope that was just a coincidence and not intentional on Arrma's part...

[@Batchat2352]

How are they getting 67mph? Its optional speed gearing who makes ur electrics cooking if u dare run it.

[@cwatson42785]

You should donate that old beat up v2 kraton to a teen from a poor family for xmas. Alot of struggling families and would be a nice gift for xmas for them now that you got the new much better version. I dunno, just a thought! Great video as always Greg
