ARRMA Kraton 6S BLX V3 Stock with 14T pinion on 6S

[@richduperbash2966]

Nice FAT AIRS Vas😱!!! The Kraton Beast takes such a thumping 👊. Not sure if you've heard of the motor wire mod, but it's simple and keeps the blue motor/ESC wire from getting chewed up by the pinion/spur. Just drill a small hole through both upper ends of the plastic wire retainer and run a skinny zip tie through them to lock the wires in. It happened to me twice after hard, big track jump landings and the ESC wire got ravaged 😥. An ounce of prevention🤔. Never again I say. 🍻😨😨😎💪👊👊

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

The Kraton chassis is just so unbelievably sorted it's sick.

[@nicolathompson3870]

Arrma not got any money left for glue cos them dicks at traxxas took it lol,kraton is my next RC

[@trentmarlowe7655]

I love this truck. It lifted the bar so high for rtr that Traxxas seem to have finally addressed the shortcomings of the Erevo. No small thing making Traxxas redesign something. Would love to see a side by side comparo of the Erevo 2.0 and the Kraton when the opportunity arises. Great vid as always Vas. 👍

[@brutallyhonestmf5578]

Trent MarloweThe E revo 2.0 is another plastic piece of overpriced garbage. I stay with Aarma.

[@trentmarlowe7655]

RCLegion good for you.

[@demitrisolvinski]

Just picked one up and put a 2200 castle with MAX8 and backflip tires = too much fun!!! Thanks for encouraging my addiction (:

[@Negern91]

Great vid Vas! It´s so much joy to watch your vids when you are really pushing and enjoying the cars and having a laugh while doing it! Would have made it to the table if the tire hadn´t become unglued! Re glue and try again!

[@dronecamps]

Aww man. I have seen a ton of these ARMAs around here lately at the tracks. I want one so bad! I love the wide wheel base and low stance this truck has. A couple guys had a few on 6S a few months ago on the street. I was like uhhh I think that might be too much on the road? He blew two tires on the second speed run. lol. Im no expert but I know brushless motors and power! haha. You drive great man. Keep killing it!

[@bakermob29]

Arrma 💪💪💪💪. Crazy nothing broke on the nose dive. A Traxxas would be in pieces.

[@downunder1275]

i agree i got traxxas xmaxx shells freakin weak my arrma typhon never broke a thing on bad landings

[@brutallyhonestmf5578]

Traxxas plastic sucks and the drive train is made out of glass apparently.

[@williamyette1031]

lol "a traxxas would be in pieces" we all know an xmaxx is wayyyyyyy tougher out the box than any arma....i mean.....bending chassis 24/7? who the hell wants that lmao..... keep in mind im not a fanboy like you....just got back into this a month ago, have a maxx4s, 8s xmaxx and a 6s kraton!!!! all different but to say thats tougher than traxxas is absurd

[@papocintron6420]

Definitely going to be the next rc I order.

[@longboardguy]

Papo Cintron same as me guys! Need to sell one or two myself to make this happen before summer/fall is over.

[@bitcheslovecannons5073]

I'm saving my money for one of the monsters myself.

[@longboardguy]

Andrew Sundbeck hey Andrew that’s my name too haha. Anyways I’ve seen the new Granite 4x4 blx I think I’m going to save for one of those

[@robfurlong85]

I put 100k diff fluid in the center and backflips on mine, a completely different animal! Awesome truck!

[@ReadySetRC]

What a tank!💪💪 It just took one hard landing after another. If that does not show the true testament of how tough this truck is I don't know what does. Great video as usual Vas! 👊👊👍👍

[@DA-eu2wx]

what 6s battery are you using or recommend? I have the v3 and still undecided what 6s battery to buy. any chance of making a video on the topic? thanks for all your videos they have been super helpful!

[@redbeardrc1452]

Oh yeah baby! The Kraton is King of the RTR Kingdom 👑

[@spt_killerwood]

Awesome vid vas. The kraton is just an absolute monster

[@subietech2019]

Just got the V3 since the prices are coming down and its amazing! This thing is a beast

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Probably the best bang for your buck you will find right now, great choice. :)

[@bakermob29]

Those stock tires seem to do well in that surface. I've been running the Outcast backflips in mine. Such a great tire. Just a bigger badlands.

[@clarenceanacleto9863]

awesome arrma rc bids vas you are the most smoothest rc driver with the biggest air jumping U make it look easy 👍👍👍😁

[@paultro8457]

Some times I wish I got the Kraton instead of the Outcast. Good video as always. 👍 👍 The Kraton is awesome.

[@jonathanrichard6066]

Just bought one today because of this video...

[@andrewwong3950]

Do you do anything extra to protect the Lipos? Are you afraid they may get punctured on jumps?

[@downunder1275]

vasc the man did it again!

[@anthonyarnold906]

This thing is badass man. Can’t wait til I get mine

[@STEVOD313]

Loving my v3 kraton that looks like my rig on film awesome!👍👍👍📹📹

[@themaninthemirror3447]

Could you do a video on the BG1510 and then put a brushless system in it. You can find how to do it on the creative channel also could you do a speed test on it stock and upgraded. Would really be appreciated if you did.

[@henryrowan1889]

Awesome as always Vas what battery did you use for this run? Does your big graphene fit in there? Perhaps you could add the battery info on your tests/runs in the description or as an overlay at start of vid!

[@dylanabbott2518]

Amazing videos one of the best rc car you tubers I reckon massive thumbs up from me 👍

[@lexusant64]

And this doesn't overheat with 14t pinion? Is this the additional pinion that comes with the car? Need to put mine on if it is!

[@GreatLakesRC]

Best RTR ever!! To borrow a phrase it's so "dialed" 👍👍😵😱 6s is tough on tires no matter what, I am always regluing tires after a 6s run, lol!

[@corykobelski4215]

What do you run for lipo battery’s

[@MrGdbsti05]

That kraton is awesome it makes a really fun rc and great price I need to buy another one.

[@abrekker]

Where in Australia is this track? Looks perfect!

[@terryinri]

What Weight diff fluids are you running Vas ?

[@massourc2908]

Awesome video , it's a good car , if you have a traxxas x maxx can you make comparison. Thanks

[@22Tech]

what an epic truck

[@rogeliopena2433]

what type of glue can I use for the gears? I got the outcast and the gear ares like yours gear

[@kizzelgarrett8251]

Nice awesome work RC brother 👊

[@timpetsche8963]

are you having any problems with the pinions

[@bashmasterRC]

Do you remember what the stock spur gear tooth count was?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

I think it was 52T.

[@strokernotch7937]

I run 200k in my center diff. Totally different truck. Breaks up the power to more of a 50/50 front and rear.

[@jamesgordon4433]

That accident makes up for the unglued tire. Yes?

[@Danny-fc2je]

How much run time do you get on the Kraton from 6s battery setup?

[@FoolishandHungry]

Hey Vas, why don’t you also review the Typhon 6s 2018 edition, I was considering it to race at my local rc track, I currently have a Losi 8ight 4.0 nitro and I wanted to get in electric racing. I’ve heard that the new typhon is a beast but I would also like to know what you think! Thanks man.

[@InTheDogHouse3DPrinting]

There is a guy locally that has one of these for sale, and he is claiming 70+ MPH out of the box, and over 100+ MPH with the optional gear. Is he smoking something, or are these capable of those speeds?

[@topchoice32]

where is this park at mate.

[@rc4life315]

Mr Aussie i have a v3 talion and need tires i have a set of old school proline big joes big difference in grip but i think there to big and might stress the drive train what do you think

[@marcossrojas2085]

I only run mines on 6s with the 2 3s 5400mah 50c batteries and the optional pinion gear, it sure puts your throttle control to the test. One slight pull of the trigger will make flip on it's back like a turtle, fun stuff what an Amazing RC

[@clownrock9558]

aprox. run time?

[@bakermob29]

I'm so jealous looking at your weather. I want to take my Kraton to the bmx track! Looking at a bunch of snow hear. Can't wait for winter to end. I can watch you drive this rig all day.🤙🤙🤙🤙💪💪💪💪

[@bogosero2637]

Bakerboyzzz RC Same thing here in Canada

[@hadzmat758]

Hey Vas, I was wondering if you were planning on making a video or maybe a Facebook post about the Hobbico bankruptcy? I'd love to know what you think about what it means for brands like Arrma and Axial, and also what it means for the hobby in general. I absolutely love my kraton and want more from the Arrma line up in my future.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Yes, I already did a video about on my Facebook page a few weeks ago. 😊

[@drog343]

How does yours not overheat on the 14t pinion on 6s, with the stock Blx system? Should I be running a different power system, or gearing down 1 or more teeth on the pinion? I've mostly only run 4s, it just seems to me, that with ambient temps. on the higher end 14t on the pinion feels like it is right on the limit for general bashing, I don't know. Seemed like a good video to post this as my Kraton is still mostly a stock v3.

[@SilverGearRC02]

Nice video! how long does the battery last?

[@chrischupp9760]

Yup, can see the front tires inflating

[@rsoul7282]

Well, after that you certainly leave no doubt as to whether or not the Kraton can roll with the punches, landing smack bang on the face of the other jump, comes back for more.

[@kreizmann2943]

Nice videos Vas!

[@redbeardrc1452]

Vas, I'd love to see the new E-REVO 2.0 take on those jumps you did at the end of the video and survive unscathed. I've been hearing a lot of talk about how great it's going to be, but I'm not sold. Landing into the face of a huge jump at 50 or so mph over and over without damage is a testament to the ruggedness of this BEAST! 👊

[@elliotnazos6220]

RedBeard RC, agree! Vas, pretty please test the e-revo 2.0 once it comes out. I would love to see how it compares (or doesn’t) to the Kraton. I love my Kraton, my e-revo hasn’t been touched since since the Kraton arrived.

[@redbeardrc1452]

Jay Rocket I'm not so sure it has to do with "hating Traxxas" so much as they are so very expensive in Australia.

[@timc9773]

I will get that soon hopefully

[@nickmcbride1208]

Why did you say easy on the throttle is it because of the 14t or what

[@AussieRCPlayground]

I think that may have been so I don't loose control of the car...

[@Darylcrossbow]

wow that thing is strong wow ! 👍

[@bunndyboy]

How much armour kraton?

[@philipwild9134]

Are you going to do an unboxing of the new Traxxas Trophy Truck once it gets releaced?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Very, very unlikely. Sorry.

[@philipwild9134]

Aussie RC Playground Okay, will have to look for another Rc youtuber that does the reviews as good as you do. It's quite tricky to find somebody who does ;)

[@Mikiep777]

I’ve had my Kraton out 6 times and two different times the suspension arm broke and now I think the servo has stripped gears... I haven’t even jumped the thing...suspension arms broke from minor cartwheels... no idea why the servo is messed up!! 70% of the running I’ve done is straight aways! Kinda disappointing... it’s the only nice RC I have and I’m afraid to run it! 😂

[@bendscrewrc2745]

Something isn’t right. I’d really like to see how you’re driving it. Every Kraton breakage is from a LOT of abuse, as this video shows. For the shock rod to bust as well as steering servo teeth, then you’re hitting the arm VERY hard. Those cartwheels would be hitting with some serious force.

[@failureface1837]

I just got this isit possible to get the speed up to 100mph what do I need?

[@ELValenin]

Oooh not much, you just need to buy stuff for double the price of the car and experiment a lot.

[@milopon7967]

What is better kraton v2 or talion v2?

[@demitrisolvinski]

Kraton V3

[@berata.251]

4s or 6s for Bashing?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

I mainly use 4S. I only use 6S when I'm showing off or for speed runs.

[@berata.251]

Aussie RC Playground 12T or 14T pinion on this car for bashing?

[@randy4487]

Im interested in what pinion too...

[@bondebos3478]

Whats better on v3 than v2?

[@subietech2019]

I think you can get between 20-30 min . Depends how hard your on it

[@Juoperi]

Great vid. Thanks!

[@Crazyd2050]

I need help. This or big rock??

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Got the Kraton. The Big Rock is discontinued.

[@Crazyd2050]

@@AussieRCPlayground I appreciate the feedback. I see it on Amazon. Truck for truck kraton better tho? Or just dont buy because discontinued and parts hard to find?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

A bit of both, actually. The Big Rock is a unique truck; it's brushless with lots of power, but you can lock each diff or unlock them. If that's something you need or want to experience, then go for it. If you want a good all-round basher that's easy to work on and can roll with the best on the market, then go the Kraton. But if you choose the Big Rock, then look after it because parts could be an issue.

[@Crazyd2050]

@@AussieRCPlayground so kraton is better and faster and easy to work on. No brainer then. On videos they look same speed. The blue truck just lools super fast sometimes. But kraton faster for sure ya.thx

Hey Vas great video as always! You were the first R/C channel I subscribed too and I really enjoy your detailed reviews of rc cars and trucks. I bought an Arrma Outcast from watching your 6s bash and since then got a Tekno mt410. Btw have you thought about reviewing this kit? Just wanted to say that you have inspired me to record my bashing sessions and I am having a blast...from one fellow porkchop to another great job from Toronto Canada!
