  • Welcome back to another episode of Thunder RC! This is a recap video showing off the differences between the Traxxas Xmaxx and the Arrma Kraton 8s EXB. Both of these truck are pretty much in stock form minus the electronics and gearing. The Xmaxx and Kraton 8s battle it out off the Death Ramp and then we take their battle to the sand at the beach! Which truck did the bash best? In the end it is a tough decision to make as to which RC Car is the winer of this battle! Enjoy!

    Dude this video was next level! The slow mo shots and different angles really made it a great watch. I'm loving my Kraton 8s if I can only keep it in one piece after each bash session. Keep em coming Homie🤘

    Love it.

    Awesome video and comparison of the Kings of Monster trucks. I think the Kraton did better in the air due its low profile. But the XMAXX was a totally beast on the sand. I would definitely own both if I had the money. Thank you for sharing your wealth of RC knowledge.

    I can’t believe that K8 held up! Mine used to break if you look at it wrong. That’s the reason I sold it. Loved driving it, but got tired of replacing shock shafts, arms, chassis, etc. From personal experience, I say the Xmaxx is the bashing king. All day.

    Honestly I've said this before many times. If Traxxas would make rollers so I didn't have to buy there electronics I would say there really close. But having to spend the extra few hundred on a xmaxx then buy the electronics and few other tidbits for upgrades just doesn't make sense to me. I love my Xmaxx but the Kraton is just so much more fun for me to drive absolutely beast. Great vid thunder.
