I bought an Arrma Typhon and an Outcast. After running them for a few days I sold my Jato, Stampede VXL 4x4, Rustler VXL, and Redcat Hurricane XTE. Once you drive an 8th scale Arrma, Traxxas feels like a Walmart toy. Arrma is amazing.
Sean Nagle thanks I'm gonna go with Arrma, I wanted another traxxas because I had one in the past but these are fast!
I just sold all my traxxas on eBay and after I ship them out tomorrow I'm headed straight to the hobby shop to pick up an arrma 8th scale.
Ditto for me after driving my neighbors Arrma. Rustler vxl on the skiing block
Just got my 6s Kraton! Don't like Traxxas anymore really lol. I could really use some help working on it though. Its completely different from anything else I've had. All 1/10 scale nitro trucks in the past.
Same story with me! Owned traxxas, bought my first arrma, sold all my traxxas and won't be going back! I really compare it to traxxas is for the yuppie who has money who will go to his local hobby shop and they will push traxxas on them and they will spend 500$ and just have an inferior truck and not realize it. Traxxas is produced for t he e masses. Highly priced, outdated platforms and break so easy. Then you buy a arrma and it feels like a legit hobby grade rc. Traxxas for kids.....Arrmas for adults is how I look at it. Lol
Ever since URC came down i've been watching this channel a lot and i love it. Keep up the good work.
I miss URC. But ya. This is a good channel
Bought a 2018 Kraton and Wow I'm impressed hands down I was not expecting how much fun it would be I own an e revo and now I can say the Kraton is my new favorite truggy
Oh my goodness! What a great looking machine and another great review Greg.
I have one of these ! I'm glad you decided to do this video, they are amazing !
I love my Talion. Broke my 1st A Arm yesterday when I was playing. Now today took out wing.
The Kraton is a BEAST !! Loved the vid good work 😀 U forgot to backflip baby on that sweet track u have there 👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻😁
The Kraton is an amazing RC. Well done Greg.
Give me that TRUCKlol
What a beast. Might get one..one day .great review my freind ☺😁😊☺
Gotta have one. I've been interested in this RC since they first came out but now it looks so much better and well built. Being poor sucks!
Can't wait to get mine! Nice video bro!
Awesome video badass RC
Enjoy your video's, like this one especially due to looking into getting one next. Cheers.
Great review!
Kraton is a Beast
Bethel. I love that track. I have jumped my Xmaxx there 80FT I made the transfer from the beginning jump to the third jump . Nice video
Great video.
Nice!
now that... is the shnizzle!!! gi-me one!
Very nice car
nice video
I love this truck I may honestly have to sell a few others and buy myself a new 1/8 Arrma sometime in the fall. I bought the new erevo 2.0but honestly both times I ran it so far I broke something. Even if minor. I had an original Talion and that was awesome. I’m thinking this Kraton or the Typhon is my next rc from arrma
How can u throw ur transmitter n body on the ground like that? I know it's gonna get worse when bashing but when I spend over $600 with batteries I treat it like it's my baby lol I know u got it for free from arrma but when u just throw it on the ground it hits a spot for us guys that pay that top dollar for this truck, anyways no disrespect just saying great unboxing otherwise 👍👍👍📹📹
Hi Steve, Did you listen to the sound when the radio dropped? The crinkling sound was it falling in a box of bubble wrap I had placed there before filming. And after 30+ years in the hobby, I know that tossing a true Lexan body on the ground (which the floor in my shop is actually a thick padded floor from a trade show booth) is not going to do any damage whatsoever. With any video on UA-cam or elsewhere, people need to think beyond what they see. Things can be planned out in advanced to keep viewers attention, positive or seemingly negative; that's why we're called creators. One additional note, nothing in life is free. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Thanks for watching; glad you liked the unboxing!
RCDriver_Online I'm a huge fan I was just bustin ur chops, really didn't mean nothing by it hope u no I was just giving u crap love ur vids keep them coming n stop throwing ur stuff around j.k. 👍👍👍📹📹
Always a joy to read intended disrespect, covered with an “LOL” here and there, combined with the classic closer sentence assuring the other person that there is no disrespect meant. But.... opening sentence is..... yeah..... not feeling too much respect! Oh hey, theres that lol! Weak..... and to assume because someone owns a business and/or has a UA-cam channel they then at that point are receiving free stuff to do as they will, is just shitty. At a minimum short and close-minded. As a former business owner, and as one that grew up with nothing, obtained much beyond what i thought possible, lost it all due to shady shady people with the same assumption that I must be livin the big dream with tons of money, what i can tell you is that there are no employees that work for any small business owner that came to be successful through their own blood sweat and tears that could ever imagine how much work it really is. 7 days a week, consuming a ridiculous amount of what other people use as personal time off, and then getting looked at by people you have been generous enough to give a job to like your the pos and shouldnt be where you are. “I know you get your shit for free...” wtf is that about? Even if he did get it given to him, I’d say dues have been paid and being able to enjoy a few perks in exchange for providing jobs for people that arent generally too grateful, ummm.. kicking ass hard enough for years to have barely been able to make the sacrifice to get to that point,... yeah... free RC car my ass.
You get respectfully called out on it, and rightfully so (cause i damn sure know from RCDO’s comment he smelled that weak shit across state lines), but then backpedal away from your original statement so much so that I’m gonna say a damn unicycle would be a great side gig for ya.
He gave you a thumbs up not as a sign of believing your bullshit, but in good PR by showing continued effort to be the bigger person.
At a minimum, do yourself a favor and grow a pair before you comment on someones shit. If you think something is how you perceive it to be, ask. Or, roll with the dick-move full on. And stand by it. Dont cave and back away and make yourself look like a MUCH larger jackass than the original size. Sometimes, going super sized needs to be left at the fast food lane.
But... its ok. Not a single damn person including myself is perfect. Everyone reading this has no doubt made the same mistake and/or much worse. But someone somewhere at some point told them like it is.
Be real.
You’re good.
grumpybill lmfao! Seriously that’s fuckin funny.
Still working on it. It’s pretty deep. Lots of it too.
@@nicholasfrench4374 bwahahahaha good luck bud.
If you where in a raffle hipathetically, for your choice Arma outcast or kraton what would you choose and why?
can you please do a vid on which tire go`s to which surface
What about diff fluid does it need to be thicker?
Is there a cvd for the rear to replace the dog bones?
I got the v3 kraton now the diffs are on way out, will the v4 kraton diffs fit ?
I am planning to buy my husband the EREVO 2.0 and son the Arrma Keaton BLX 3s for Christmas. What do people think ... good decision?
Nice video and first
No wheely bar like on the outcast? Hmmm
loving the vids, I do have a motor squeal problem on my traxxas stampede, it has the stock titan 12t 550. can you help?
+koalafied games Put a drop of oil on the motor bushings.
Can you put a bag over the body. I seen them on ebay
Can the Traxxas ID charger ... charge non-traxxas batteries with traxxas connectors? We have several Traxxas batteries but my son purchase some non-traxxas batteries he is planning to put traxxas connectors on. Will the Traxxas ID charger charge them?
At the start I think I need a bigger work bench haha unbox the x maxx
1st comment. i love that. epic.
Great video! Trying to decide between this and the new Erevo. Test drove an Erevo at my LHS and it shredded the gear using the “self righting” feature. The employee said “yea that’s why we dont use that” not super impressive for what they charge for it. Also the whole Traxxas trying to force you to use their batteries turned me off. But they dont have a Kraton I can test. Anyone give me their opinion?
sam weidenbach I had the 2.0 and traded it for the v3 kraton I spend way less time wrenching and way more time bashing
E Revo is absolute shit the kraton is on a different level
The Keaton really is on a different level. I have a v4. I know this was a while ago but go get one! You probably already have one.
Great review. Always enjoy your objectivity and enthusiasm. However, I still don’t see why Arma/Horizon doesn’t equip these rigs with a better transmitter. Lots of examples out there about that Spectrum junk losing connection or having a delayed response when the RC is operating. To me that poses a safety issue. Here you have an RC that can run at 50 mph+ and operators are losing connection? That’s not good. Until Arma takes this issue seriously, may as well factor in another $100+ to the overall price to buy a worthy transmitter and receiver along side this Arma RTR.
Was that track in bethel ct?
How long battery time can you get out of this thing? Is there a big difference between 1:10 scales vs 1:8 in battery time?
This uses twice as much power as 1/10 scale vehicles so I think run times are comparable and pretty close. I just got a Kraton v4.
Do you think that, tuned properly, it’s able to beat some of the buggies at the track?
FoolishandHungry TV probably because truggy platforms are much more stable.
It's ok at the track. I also run a losi eight t 2.0. It handles the track much better.
Hold the camera higher up when filming! I can never actually tell whats going on
where is this rc made?
In my opinion the 8th scale line up from arrma r the best on the market hands down for the price u can't beat them there is nothing to compare then to what traxxes that's a joke
nah
Jay Jay, I couldn’t agree more! Traxxas customer service is great but they have to be with all of the product problems and breakages.
Finn Foster nah!! Lol
What about losi 3xl-e
@@finnfoster6237 I'd bet money you're a kid!! Traxxas is for kids, arrma is for big boys lol.
Hey Gregg I'm trying to decide on my next rc between a Kraton/outcast (499$) or a proline pro mt (400$) plus 130$ for a hobbywing max10 so around 550$-575$ for the build so I was wondering what you thought between them? I'm thinking arrma cause they are bigger 8th scale but can't decide.
Chris Watson get the Kraton you won't regret it. I bought one last month I love it so much that I bought the Talion last week. Arrma cars are awesome period .
Shit thanks for listing the price you saved me some research time lol
I have the kraton
Is that a 1/8 scale?
Steve Declark yes
it's funny how you throw all the stuff on the floor when here I am can bare afford one
I know this is an older video but i want to buy one of these. However, i'm new to this and i read that the battery is 1.5 minutes of ride time. This sounds absurd to me.
Any way i can fix this or something?
Bye bye traxxas and hpi arrma's in town
Traxxas will come back
It's there diffs pure garbage
Amen! Traxxas WILL RETURN... Bigger, Badder, Meaner, and easy to use. with much fun too!
you got that right
Finn Foster Traxxas hasn't upgraded there rigs in decades! Same platforms year after year. Maybe now they will be forced to make quality, innovative rc's now that arrma has stepped up the game in rc.
im shopping around. this or the serpent truggy rtr?. thanx in advance
For bashing Arrma Kraton (cheaper parts/ waterproof) for racing serpent ( expensive spares/ 4s/ not waterproof but excellent design)
Watched your videos looking for a good 1/10 size rc monster truck or truggy basser going to run on grass mostly . $400.00 range not counting batteries. Please give your advice. Fly drones want a rc car will run on windy days or a little wet.
Traxxas rustler
@@victorpedersen3182 No I got 2 traxxas and they break too easily
I don't know of any 1/10 scale truggies. You may need to get an 1/8 scale if you want a truggy so you may as well get the Kraton. Unless you are completely new. It may be a bit overwhelming if you are new but you could do it.
My rustler has the front scoop bumper
Steve Declark I have a rustler what u mean
Rovu Utuama he was talking about how arrma now has a new front scoop bumper n how he likes it I was just saying the rustler already has that style bumper nothing new for the rustler
Steve Declark thx now I understand
Lol don't even compare a fragile chassis ruslter to this monster lmao your ruslter has a similar bumper ooohhh this thing could run your ruslter over and leave it in pieces.
I wish I could afford one
Omar Jackson if you have a local hobby shop put it on layaway like i did that's how i got my v3 talion and going to do the same for this truck
it lookes awesome but my hobby store has it realy expensive .
Tell them that, look at prices on the internet and ask your shop if they can offer you a better price.
thanks
I glad I could give you an advice^^
Kraton is nice, but the chassy gets bent easily; it's weak. I'd go change ball ends anytime (they're cheap), rather than change a bent chassy. But hey probably this year I will get a Kraton, but IMO the chassy and suspension design, just mere architecture the Revo wins. Traxxas just technically look great and a good basher.
Titan520 the chassy is hardly weak....plus you can easily bend it back to shape. Plus with the v4, it should be less of a problem
@@opairsoft8100 Any chassy that bends out of shape, not by design is no good, for one it does not bend back on its own and will create a tweak; It suppose to perform like a solid piece firewall. It is the same reason why they placed support bars, with the intention of it not to move; It should not go out of proportion. It is not by design to flex like a suspension, which are moving parts. Whereas if you compare the monocoque design of the E-Revo, it does not contort and require to be bent back. I own 2 E-Revos and looking into getting the Kraton, but I think I will need to wait for the next version.
Titan520 the kraton might have some minor problems but it’s hardly bad, unless you are completely nuts and bash it stupidly hard. Which at that point the e revo would break to. For all the problems the kraton has, it is just as much if not less than the e revo...but 50$ cheaper before the v4 came out, which most likely fixed the chassy bending for most normal jumps and slight big ones.
@@opairsoft8100 So you say the chassy is pretty strong ("the chassy is hardly weak") and that it can be easily bent back to shape; a contradiction. Now your rebuttal claims of a different idea, pretty confusing.. So running your logic, you are willing to pay for an RC basher chassy that is is not designed to be bent, yet is weak (not strong) but argue that it can easily be bent back. That is pretty hard to accept when this hobby is not cheap, whereas the chassy is expensive compared to ball end links.. The issue with the Kraton is it was designed as a basher like the E-Revo. Although I agree that any action that is stupidly insane will damage any RC vehicle, but the thing is even on just normal bashing, the chassy of the Kraton bends out of shape. This is why I suppose you tell me that it can easily be bent back. So with that idea the chassy is not strong and that $50 off does not justify the revisions (not an improvement) that will be considered acceptable to most consumers. The problem of the E-Revo are the rod ends, which arguably is a moving part and prone to wear and tear. Whereas a chassy as a support structure, that is not meant to move given that it was even re-enforced with two braces; to which you claim that it going out of shape and being able to bend back is acceptable? I dunno how that is an efficient way of looking at value and purpose. IMO, a major part that is constructed not flex out shape, is not good when it fails to do its purpose by design. For now, I will stick to my E-Revo, I can replace rods ends easy and cheap, it does not happen often anyways. I also do not need to push the chassy back to shape (sorta) like a monkey kicking on it. Honestly speaking, Kraton's chassy is not thin and from most UA-cam videos I have seen they are either forcing it with a foot or taking off the whole chassy out and hammering their best to get it back to shape (kinda). FYI, when you have big 3.8 wheels and tires and centrifugal force running that is a lot of suspension and chassy stress, other than the jumping and terrain.
Everyone I've talk to says that arrama are not race vehicles
Why thought your stuff around like that your like a little rich kid that doesn't have to pay for anything.
the one and only Already answered that question in this videos comments.
the one and only Maybe He can do whatever he likes with something he bought. He could set it on fire if he wanted to cause it's his. Also he was just joking around.
He threw** it in a box full of bubble wrap you baby bum
Nice!
