Great collection of cars.

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks bud

[@redbeardrc1452]

You've really got this Kraton dialed in nicely. 👌 Clearing that tabletop was so fun to watch! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@WINBIG14]

Try to

[@vensevenhelijunkie]

What a backflip that was man! Smooth air control 👌. Love the Kraton 😀👍

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks buddy! That car has great control absolutely love this thing

[@droningharry]

So I have the 4S Kraton and really enjoy bashing with it. I've been looking at the 6S pretty hard. My Guys at the Shop say my Talion is more than a match for it. I'm thinking more and more that a 6S Basher would be a great buy. Keep my Talion for Speed and just Bash the Kraton til there's no more tomorrows. I have to say I'm really liking your videos. You and Rich Duperbash are true bashers and I always enjoy and good Bash. I'm 58 and every bit a Kid at heart, at least that's what my wife and 13 Y.O. Grandson say.

[@BarstoneRC]

I have a great time bashing the 4S Kraton also the Talion is an awesome car it has a lower center of gravity and stays planted to the ground really well, the Kraton might be slightly better just do to more suspension but yeah it will definitely give it a run for it’s money. but I really appreciate the kind words and watching the videos man, I don’t think we ever really grow up we just grow older LOL

[@rclife9725]

Omg it's so adorable I'm gonna call it dory

[@camaroboy383]

Great bash brother! Doubles were awsome..😎.. Kraton taking it like a champ!...💪💪💪

Thanks buddy I appreciate it!!!

[@bygun5329]

man! its my favorit💪👍💯 so powerfull! ilovemyk6s!

[@BarstoneRC]

They really are an awesome car they handle great they jump awesome and overall they’re tough as hell!!

[@rcticket4334]

Nice bash brother!!!

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks bud

[@devonbettolo]

Nice to see someone actually driving their cars the way they are meant! So many videos of people doing speed runs it’s bs. Nice video, I love my kraton

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks for watching man I appreciate it! Yeah I like to see what the cars can actually do and for the most part see what they can do in their stock form especially with stock electronics.

[@rcbang3123]

Nice vid mate, I just got backflips for my kraton, lovely combo, great fun on dirt 👌🏽

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks buddy! Yeah those tires are a nice pair on the Kraton 6s

[@skybasherrc2372]

Great vid Bro 👊. Yeah I agree with you on the Kraton. It’s hard to beat. Awesome rig 👍

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks buddy I appreciate it! But yeah it’s hard to beat it’s an all-around great basher

[@donuttime2507]

Always bringing the Armma content, love it mate!

[@BarstoneRC]

I might be a little bit of a fan of Arrma lol. Thanks buddy

[@vensevenhelijunkie]

Well I have the 6s and 8s and literally on the cusp of getting the 4s.. 🤣 Think I'm a Kraton fan lol

[@donuttime2507]

@@vensevenhelijunkie yeah I'm close to getting my next RC too. A few more weeks until I've saved enough. Thinking 6s but leaning towards the Typhon but it's a 50/50

[@vensevenhelijunkie]

@@donuttime2507 I would say to choose between those 2 trucks would depend on your terrain.. Also 6s has more ground clearance, typhon is nimble. Obviously a massive weight and cost difference lol. Both awesome trucks tho 👌

[@ruffridersrc1654]

Great Video👌🏻💪🏼 Greetings from Germany✌🏻

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks buddy I appreciate it. !!

[@Xofroggy]

the more and more i watch you drive the 6s it makes me want one, but with the new redcat hopper i kinda want to preorder it as well XD so many cool rcs i want lol, great vid bro

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks buddy I really appreciate it and the support man. But honestly the 6S line is my favorite overall lots of power they handle great and the Kraton is just a blast it’s so easy to control and predictable it makes it a ton of fun to drive.

[@jrubjrub82]

Wow..drove past this hobby store a couple times but never stopped at it

[@BarstoneRC]

They got lots of good stuff in there especially right now they got a lot of inventory coming in. Thanks for watching man.

[@paulrakis]

Nice bashing bro. That place looks like alot of fun. What do you have in your Kraton ? All BLX electronics still.

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah everything is stock, I usually leave most of the electronics with the stock systems but I do think I’m going to get a max six combo for the EXB possibly.

[@paulrakis]

@@BarstoneRC Kool. Yeah man that sounds sweet man. My EXB I have the stock BLX electronics and a nice power hobby servo. Definitely get over 300oz at 6V if you ever get a servo.

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah I put the stock BLX system in it when I got it but I’m contemplating putting something bigger and it’s just to see how I like it?

[@jimcarroll9733]

another great video

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks buddy!!

[@trashj1g568]

I have the kraton 6s and its amazing I still can't believe it goes 60mph

[@BarstoneRC]

That’s a great truck love mine!!!

[@norcalrc]

The 6s Arrma line up is epic. Not a stinker in there

[@BarstoneRC]

That is true my friend all of the 6s cars are a ton of fun for sure!!

[@norcalrc]

@@BarstoneRC really haven’t drove an Arrma product yet I didn’t like . But the fun factor and durability with the 6s is unique to the industry. The Kraton 6s is the first rc that ive felt just begs you to send it you know

[@yyckey5022]

An other great bash.👍

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks for watching I had a blast making it!!

[@tiffinhappy9744]

Trying to decide between this or the Sledge. I have a coupleof 5000 Traxxas batteries already for my Rustler. They just dropped price on Sledge but it is a toss up between the two.

[@BarstoneRC]

Both cars have their strengths and weaknesses, but I will say this the differentials and drive training are a little better in the Kraton

[@paderbasherrc7666]

Oh man the shop looks like a steahls bomber 😂awesome BLAST bro kraton flys high 💪😎💣did you watch my last Video?

[@BarstoneRC]

It’s a pretty cool place for sure. I’ll ck it out I have been out of town for work.

[@paderbasherrc7666]

@@BarstoneRC your place is the Paradies ❤one day when I have a lot of money 😫i come to you bro and we let the ARRMAS fly😎💣💪

[@BarstoneRC]

Sounds like a plan buddy

[@paderbasherrc7666]

Thanks for pushing me buddy💪

[@zip2692]

Are you using the high speed gear

[@BarstoneRC]

I geared it up a couple teeth but I have changed this car a lot now recently

[@user-ou9jx9hu8f]

Great video! Your jumps are sooo smooth. I can't tell which handles better for you, the regular Kraton v4 or EXB. Can you tell a big difference between them performance wise?

[@BarstoneRC]

Well as of right now I would say the regular V4 handles better but that’s probably because the EXB has a locker in the rear differential right now. When and if I ever get the new differential from Horizon Hobby I’ll be curious to see if the EXP handles as well as the V4

[@BesNewFails]

What do you think about the differentials?

[@BarstoneRC]

If they are shimmed from the start they’re usually pretty solid

[@dirtrider88]

how the hell do you get access to a mx track when its closed? every track i have ever seen is locked up, real well

[@BarstoneRC]

I spoke with the owner a couple years ago and told me as long as there’s not bikes on the track I’m welcome to use it

[@dirtrider88]

@@BarstoneRC your lucky to be able to have that spot. I have gone up to multiple property owners and noone wants to let me drive my rc on their property. Its no wonder theres no hobby shops left, no one will let me drive my car. If i was just getting into the hobby for the first time i would have sold whatever stuff i had and be done with it because there no good spots to drive.

[@LowBlow]

great vid mate. In the time since filming this have you had to replace the chassis at all?

[@BarstoneRC]

No the chassis so far has been holding up well.

[@jamesandgames7567]

Is this the v5?? I’m thinking about getting it for my second arrma rc...I want a 1/5 Kraton or outcast but I think the 6s are more durable looking

[@BarstoneRC]

This is the V4 bought it about 4 months ago. The truck it a blast, probably my favorite but I just got the Kraton 8S also and so far I have been very surprised with how it’s been holding up and pretty durable.

[@eddiediaz3480]

I know you said you switched to 70w shock oil. What is it originally?

[@BarstoneRC]

I believe it was 60wt

[@Funcentric]

Fun bash session and nice place to do it at! Thanks for the video. I saw your bash session of a Big Rock V3 which I have. My one and only legit basher RC. Was looking at a 6S model but can't decide between a Krayton and Outcast. Would one of those be too similar to the Big Rock I already have? or is the 6S really making both a different beast all together? Anything you recommend I ask myself to help decide between Krayton and Outcast? I do like doing wheelies like the Outcast offers, but figure the Krayton can do it too but with more intention and it seems to handle better on flat turns. Thoughts?

[@BarstoneRC]

The outcast is a great and really fun car you can really backflips really easily and it doesn’t handle bad at all but yes the Kraton does handle better and flies a little easier in the air but it depends on what kind of terrain you’re going to be running on also, I don’t know if you thought about a buggy but the Typhon 6s is a blast it’s extremely fast it handles great it jumps nice but if you’re going to be running it in taller grass it’s not as good for that stuff.

[@Funcentric]

@@BarstoneRC Thanks for the quick response. When you say the Kraton is easier to handle in the air is that b/c it tries to keep level due to the longer wheel base? Meaning the Outcast is harder not because it falls short but rather it flips too easily and is sensitive to rotating it to where you want it? Meaning Outcast is easier to flip but Krayton is easier to control? Not interested in the buggy b/c I do want to run it in mostly offroad and mostly interested in wheelies and air.

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah that’s exactly what I mean the Kraton because of the long wheelbase it doesn’t flip and rotate as easily it will do it, but it’s just a little more controllable in the air now if you’re looking for backflips and a more touchy car in the air than the outcast is the way to go. But I run my Typhon 6s off-road all the time on motocross tracks and BMX tracks and it’s my favorite car for jumping and big air.

[@paulrakis]

Nice man do you have the M2C Chassis on her? Great driving man I'm gonna flim my notorious on the snow Monday or Tuesday hopefully we get alot here in Jersey.

[@BarstoneRC]

No I actually put the EXB chassis under it it’s held up very well so far.

[@paulrakis]

@@BarstoneRC nice man yeah EXB chassis is alot tougher. You don't get more than 60 feet she will hold up well. Arrma is now sending me a new rear diff for my EXB. It's V5 Kraton diff case and whole differential so that's what they're doing now since the LSD are on back order. My rear differential now with new gears install still is very crunchy and locks up so can't use it. Not sure probably diff case or something is bad. Very werid.

[@BarstoneRC]

Well I haven’t heard too many problems with those differentials yet so hopefully it holds up for you. But that chassis has held up very well I’ve launched it over 130 feet distance with about 35 to 40 feet in the air and I have yet to bend it or tweak it.

[@paulrakis]

@@BarstoneRC wow that's nice 👍. Yeah thanks man I'm sure it will.

[@jean-marcrevill3175]

Wow it’s been a while since I’ve actually bashed so I think I might go next weekend that should be fun and how come the esc breaks from physical impact!?

[@BarstoneRC]

You broke your ESC?

[@jean-marcrevill3175]

@@BarstoneRC no I thought you broke yours? Isn’t that what you said at the start?

[@BarstoneRC]

Ohh on the 4s. Yeah when it landed really hard multiple times it broke the wire loose from that little cap Pack that’s on the ESC wires I have now soldered it back on and fixed it.

[@jean-marcrevill3175]

@@BarstoneRC of course you managed that with your esc! How didn’t the car break as well or did the entire thing combust along with the esc

[@BarstoneRC]

Lmao no believe it or not the truck is completely intact I just broke a wire on the ESC I don’t understand you make it sound like I’m rough on my cars or something? LOL

[@jrc-fabs1634]

Awesome vid the body looks great tires are grippy! What happened to your rustler 4wd?

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks bud! But I recently sold the rustler i’m going to be replacing it with a different Traxxas car.

[@jrc-fabs1634]

Nice! How much did it sell for?

[@BarstoneRC]

$200.

[@scottmclinden228]

Is that a after market bumper?

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah it’s an RPM bumper

[@leroy5202]

thoughts on v5 Notorious and Kraton? Just ordered the Notorious :)

[@BarstoneRC]

They look pretty nice I like the upgraded components and the ferma system. I want to see one in person and check it out hopefully here soon.

[@jaguar2164]

This or notorious v5 6s?

Personally I love the Kraton platform. Very stable jumps nice and controlled.
