Arrma Typhon 6s or Arrma Kraton 6s? (FULL Comparison/Race/BASH)

Today we do a full comparison of the Arrma Typhon 6s and the Arrma Kraton 6s we race them, bash them and let you know which RC is best for you!
Both of these Arrma RC's are very popular 1/8 scale, 4wd rc cars that come RTR but you will require your own lipo batteries, charger and 4AA batteries for the radio to get these trucks going!
Which one is best for bashing and offroad? Which is best for the track or speed runs? Don't forget to comment below which one you like best and if you own one or both, what has been your experience with them?

The best part of your channel is your enthusiasm for the hobby. Who cares if you crash now and then as long as you have fun together! Love that you both have a good laugh and share it with us.

[@DanosGarage]

I had an older Kraton and a V2 Typhon, both on 6S. I personally found the Kraton to be more of a stunt truck-basher and the Typhon to be a race-basher. The Kraton was easy to do flips and stunts and jumps with, but I found the Typhon was better balanced in the air but harder to backflip. I got rid of them both but regretted selling the Typhon... As luck would have it, I now own a V5 Typhon and I LOVE it!! Love your videos and just have fun!! That is what matters in this hobby!!

Great vid Kiwis 🥝 I’ve got a Traxxas WideMaxx and personally I feel like it compares to the Kraton 6S. Similar speeds and everything. I think I’ll go with the Typhon for my next basher, plus that price difference is a perk. WideMaxx = Stunts. Typhon = Long jumps.

[@in-cogrc9037]

Great vid. Awesome info.

[@TheLazerTank]

I think the way the Typhon really effortlessly climbed that mound while the Kraton struggled it’s way up is what did it for me. I was unsure of which car I wanted, but seeing that the better power to weight of the typhon in action helped me realize what I wanted more out of a 6s car.

[@christianhvidt6823]

Really nice vid of the 2 best bashers i the World right now⚡️💥👍keep it up guys✌️

[@George.T.83]

Nice video guys. We want a comparison of kraton vs e revo!!

[@VestedUTuber]

For future reference, you might want to run your comparisons on the same batteries to eliminate unnecessary variables.

[@joseCalderon1976]

Out of my 6s Arrma rigs that I've had (V4 Kraton and V2 Outcast 6s) the Typhon v3 has been the most durable one of them. And it can run better on the road, and since I put K6s hubs on the front and rear, plus K6s axle ends, I can put 2.8 or 3.8 monster truck tires. Plus the body lasts way longer. The Typhon 6s would be my choice. Good comparison and video as usual 👍

[@mrtambourineman6107]

Typhon is an absolute beaut to drive too - so controllable - love it - never tried a Kraton though

[@joseCalderon1976]

[@teslacybertruck750]

I love you guys, you guys should check out the Floureon Lipos. After being in the hobby for over 20 years, I truly believe these batteries are overpowered. I once ran my X01 with some "Ovonic Lipos".. its top speed was 80mph, with those and it couldnt get past that, I later switched to the Floureon Lipos and it reached 102!

[@rpmspeedyblue]

Good info on the arrma 6s👍Get both!

[@shottingham]

Very nearly bought the Typhon (no doubt I'll get a buggy soon enough, cos ya know, it becomes additive to collect), but got the Kraton today! After shimming the diff, managing to squeeze in a Gens Ace 6800MAH 6S 120c, took it out for a bash. Absolutely amazing. Unfortunately for me though, I forgot to calibrate the steering so I killed it after 20 mins :D Lesson learnt! Got a 35kg on it's way. Only just come across your vids but really enjoying them!

[@PierreLEFORT]

[@ianbudgetrc2574]

Kraton 6s vs E revo 2.0 would be better. Kraton eats the Maxx any day. It's just that the Maxx is nearly as expensive as the kraton 6s but it doesn't mean the 2 are comparable. ✌️

[@freddieparrydrums]

@@ianbudgetrc2574 Exaftly and the Maxx is overpriced its only 4S

[@ZozzMiata]

@@freddieparrydrums 4s batteries are cheaper. At my country they are priced the same but Arrma has really bad parts support here and Traxxas has a distributor who has everything on shelf. So for me parts support matters more. Even if I had the Maxx for almost 2 months now and nothing has broke on it. Not even the chassis bent ;)

[@robertlongley9153]

I think this was a fun video to watch yes they are the same but different vehicles? One difference is the size factor. Do you have the room to run the bigger one. Filming wise epic.

I am on my second typhon 6s, first one blew up got another on warranty, for the stock rtr version of the 6s it is impressive, I keep up with my buddies an their 2k losi eight e, if you are going to run that spectrum motor I will say take it apart after every few runs they suck in alot an I mean alot of dirt an dust, I have sealed mine off with set screws an shoe goo around motor wires, the only open hole in my motor is around the front where the gear goes on because that is hard to seal up, and blew the tires off the rims, an that was only the outside bead,, other than that it's been a really good buggy, typhoon 6s v5 rtr

I swear I was subbed to this channel . 100% was subbed . So got the K6s . It’s sweet . The copperhead 2 s are large . I might try some 4s backflips to see how it handles . I can always go back to copperhead 2 s 👍. This sucker is scary with a 6s battery , for real . I’ve been satisfied with 4s battery power mostly but it’s nice to know it’s there . I do the same with the 1/14 size 2s/3s brushless cars . 3s seems to be a faster way to repairs . Nonetheless , very fun . After trying different sizes 1/8 -1/16 I won’t be getting any more 1/16 or 1/14 due to handling but he rlaarlo 1/14 truggy 3s (2s): does handle good imho . The only other size I can compare with is the rlaarlo cf Omni termknator . That sucker is sweet . Really like that one . She gets down like no other RC I’ve tried thst size . I d say it’s a 1/12 . I d like to see a 1/10 version of the OT . It would be legit
