I've got neither (axial weirdooo), but from Kev's vids the 8s Kraton just looks sloooow. Bent braces and plates do it no favours, although I actually prefer the way it looks, which seems lower and sleeker and suggests better handling at speed. Ultimately though, looks like you'll have to pay at least it's stock price again in upgrades to get the same performance and durability that the Xmaxx has out of the box.

Great comparison on the chassis parts cost. Staggered that in the UK the Kraton weighs in at....$371 more than the $899 it's selling for here. That's unreal! Gotta be a joke about 'dem arms somewhere in there. You've convinced me to get the Xmaxx. Broke a cup on my 4S maxx at the weekend.....huge cost to replace it.......$6 for a pair!!!! The comparison you did will help people make a decision way better than just filming them side by side on the bench. Gives me food for thought for future videos. One of your best comparison ones to date. Anyone else love the format?

I just bought a new XMAXX. I had the K8s on pre-order but I cancelled, The main reason I did not buy the Kraton 8s is because last time I placed a pre-order for the Arrma Typhon 3s it took Arrma 6 months or longer to even have parts available for the vehicle once I had it. And I was told the Arrma is on a promo price right now of $899 but will go up to $999 after the pre-orders are shipped.

Got an Xmaxx and love it , rpm arms and aluminium chassis brace plus a pair of aluminium rear c cups plus a tbone front basher bumper. Had a lot of tbone stuff on it but was too heavy so sold the lot. Kraton 8s needs about £300 spent on it to make it durable. Still thinking about getting a maxx But great vid as always. Sold my Outcast 6s as broke down all the time it was a money pit. Traxxas tough baby.

HEY KEVIN GOOD REVIEW. YOU MAKE GOOD POINTS ON BOTH, BUT I THINK THE XMAXX WINS IT. I LOVE MY XMAXX. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY MAJOR ISSUES WITH IT AND IT'S JUST AN ALL AROUND TOUGH TRUCK THATS MORE FUN TO DRIVE THAN ANY THING ELSE I HAVE . I HAVE 50 YEARS IN THE RC HOBBY SO YOU CAN IMAGINE MY COLLECTION. I WAS PLAYING WITH RC CARS SINCE BEFORE ALOT OF YOU KIDS WERE BORN. THE KRATON HAS A LOWER CG SO IT DOES CORNER AND GRIP THE DIRT A LITTLE TIGHTER. BUT ONCE YOU LEARN TO CONTROL THE XMAXX YOU CAN DO MORE TRICKS WITH IT. THE XMAXX IS MY FAVORITE TRUCK IN MY COLLECTION AND PROBABLY OF ALL TIME. IT'S ALL ABOUT FUN. I HAVE FUN DRIVING ALL OF MY RC'S. BUT THE XMAXX TAKES THE FUN LEVEL OVER THE TOP FOR ME. SORRY FOR THE LONG SPEECH. TRIPLE T RC. (TTT).

I’ve had two brands of RC cars with metal chassis and have bent both brands. I’ve also had RC cars with plastic chassis and have never broken any, up until recently. But I was sending that RC like no tomorrow, and was landing on concrete. IMO I feel like the best option, is a plastic chassis with a metal bash bar. If the plastic chassis some how finds a way to crack, the bash bar will still hold it together enough to finish your lipos. It’s not even about brand anymore. It’s about getting the best bang for your buck. I’ve seen 3S / 4S cars out perform 6S / 8S cars. And I’ve also seen no name off brand cars out perform all of the above. Not everyone is bashing the same RC the same way. So it really boils down to your experience as a driver, and what your style of bashing is.

After running a few battery packs through the xmaxx 8s Kraton 8s and Outcast 8s I can definitely say that the xmaxx is more forgiving when it comes to bad landings. I jump my rigs 12-15 ft off my ramps into grass and dirt. I've broken a couple of wing mounts and two sets of bolts that hold the steering knuckle to the steering links on both 8s Arrma trucks. Also the Kraton is so much heavier than the O8S that it also bends the driveshafts easily like a banana on bad landings. I'm actually going to sell the K8S for that reason alone. The Outcast is staying to play with the xmaxx.

I broke a cup on my 6S outcast 3 minutes into my last bash session with it. Landed relatively hard on a left or right (can't recall which) rear arm. Also bent the hinge pin and destroyed both hinge pin retainers. First one in the year and 4 months I've had it. My biggest issue with the 6S line of arrma's are the diff ring/pinion. The input pinion is just too stinking small (too many revolutions per revolution of the ring gear) and teeth are too shallow for what's asked of them. I'm on my 5th or 6th diff. Hope the 8S stuff holds up better for those that have the truck.

Every single diff has been dismantled, cleaned, shimmed internally when dry for best mesh, filled up to the top of the x bars with oil, then shimmed the ring and pinion as close as possible without binding, then grease applied to the ring/pinion. Used to use typical axle grease, but this last diff got some lucas red-n-tacky instead as it seems to adhere better and doesn't just get a path cut through it.

X Maxx does it all in my opinion, and is still unrivalled. Built like a tank and actually worth the money despite the premium price tag. The Kraton 8s is just too expensive, it should be around the £800 mark. You could buy two premium Arrma Bashers and still have £100 in your pocket to spend for the price of the new Kraton.

I got the xmaxx after wanting one for years. I would probably get a Kraton if it was cheap enough.

man thanks for the great review....i was thinking that the Kraton would be better just because its metal but after watching the beating you gave it and the price of parts....its hard to say now....as you said only time will tell how Kraton takes more of a beating

So heavy that impacts are much greater. More than double the weight of the 6s. With the proper upgrades on the 6s it’s unbreakable unless you drive it full speed into a pole. Mine actually survived such impact because it hit the Center of the bumper and bent the front shock tower. I use the gpm braces and hot racing rear brace support rpm rear skid plate bumper. Removed the rear wing/wheelie bar all together and havnt broken anything since

I watch your videos and I see the way you jump the trucks,you beat the shit out of them and you jump them so far and so high.Most of us would never attempt to jump them like you do for fear of breaking them.I like your honest review and I wanted to buy one of these trucks and after watching your review it only makes me think x max.I have seen one reviewer bash the kraton 8S and he was honest in his review and he said the truck was not worth the money where as the 6s was.Some youtubers who get the truck for free will probably never tell you the truth because of sponsorship and fear of never getting a free or discounted product where you can afford to buy it yourself and break it,modify it etc.Keep up the great work.

Easy : buy BOTH 😂. Why choose? Hehehe. Thanks for the video. On a smaller scale, I have the Kraton 6s and Outcast 6s and prefer the Outcast for the "tricks" when I'm off road. When I want to go fast on the pavement, then I go for a Kraton. So you need both 👍

Yoooo! Lol! Your voice reminds me of the mandarins voice from iron man. Awesome 👏🏾 video bro. I just bought the xmaxx a few days ago and absolutely love it. Went ahead and upgraded a few needed areas for reliability and performance. I was going to buy a keystone today just to have another dynamic. But, this video convinced me it’s not worth it. The XMaXX is supreme in my opinion. Especially if you aren’t tracking your truck/truggy on the regular. Thanks

Ok I lost the fight... I'm not a fan boy of either brand, but parts are cheaper for the X-Maxx if you shop around.... Having 1/8th buggies and racing them..back in the day, I'm kinda over setting them up to handle like scalpels at 80kph... I'm 3 days into a 8s X-Maxx ownership and can VERY much see why this car is loved so much. Mind you I've only run it on 6s... still waiting for my twin 4s 6000mah 60c lipos. Man this thing even on stock gearing, running twin 3S 3700mah 35c Lipos out of my edf jets is a weapon!! Thank You Kev for beating the living hell out of your X-Maxx... You have a way of selling them hey!! Hahahaa This video alone should easily sell the X-Maxx... Just hope she's in production for many years to come!!!

👌😁👌 Yep totally different trucks, I think the plastic chassis is better maybe unless they made a aluminum one like 3 times as thick as what all these RTR RC's come with out of the box it would be good in aluminum.
