Honestly I prefer the 8s, it's a beast. My buddy brought his 6s kraton, I had my 8s and there was really no comparison, the 8s shoots off dust like a 4 wheeler
Honestly I've had them all twice got out of RC and thinking about getting back into it again but in my opinion the typhoon 6s is one of the best bashers out there and also the granite 3s or the little upgrades is a great basher but I'm probably going to go for the kraton 8s this time because I have not had that one yet the kraton 6s I had before was great for jumping flips and speed runs
Yeah that's a good choice but The stock one is way under powered You're way better off getting the EXB roller version of it And putting a castle system in it like the XLX2
I thought the 1/8 size I have is huge . Look at the size of the bigger one , lol . Dude I got it from said when you get one of these , there’s no upgrading to a better vehicle. This is where it’s at for top shelf RC cars
💭🤔It really all depends on what type of driving I’m doing at the time and where because I just noticed the donuts you were doing, how they jumped off that wall ❤Love them both🫡💯🔥
I like them both I would like to buy the 8s Kraton or XRT I have the blue 6s the exact same one you have and I also have the Arrma Typhon TLR Tuned 6s the Red White and Blue one and that car is amazing!
i just purchased the 6s maybe after its paid off i will get the 8s?? very very hard decision but i liked the speed of the 6s from vids i had seen most my runs are speed runs on a soccer and football field the 8s just seems to be too heavy thank you for a great video!
6S all day. The 8S has diminishing returns for gain when you factor in weight vs performance. When I see the 8S Kraton jump, I think....when pigs fly. The only 5th scales I like are the Losi DBXLE and the Losi 5B. Cheers
@@stringsattached67 To each their own, right? They are big and cool, I just feel like the performance is lost with all the extra weight. If you have the space to let them fully open up, I’m sure the fun isn’t lacking. The 6S is just the right size for me for most of the parks and places I would take them to, whereas the 8S would need WAY bigger spaces to fully use it’s size and weight….I feel.
I think the smaller 6s is more agile/nimble and has a good speed and balance...the 1/5 seem underpowered unless you upgrade the motor for higher power!!!! Imo it needs more kick for being so heavy
I just got the kraton 6s v5 but I dont know what oil to use on it... Thinking of 60K front 30k rear 500k center What do you suggest? Bare in mind I wanna baby my diffs for a long time and keep them good.. I run 2 3s
500k center, 60k front and 60k rear would be the best way As long as your oil in your center differential is thicker That's all that matters and Make sure to redo them every 90 days or so.
I just put one million weight oil in my center differentials on all my Arrma 6s vehicles just to try it out. So far it's been working pretty good The outcast Is a backflip beast now Even more than it was before And my kraton 6s is awesome 👌 now
This is a old video, but the 6s is better. You werent pushing as both could clear the full tar pit if you would have tried. Would have done it in only a few trys with both. The 8s didnt come close to impressing me. You drove it like it was made out of china. Should have saved the cash and got the new v5 6s hraton, an a 6s typhon. Just my 2 cents worlth.
10 pounds more than the X-Maxx is a bit of an exageration. The xmaxx is 19.6 and the Kraton is 24.2 pounds. I personally prefer the Losi Super Rock Rey for where i run RCs as far as electrics go. Next is the 3XLE before i retired it. The 5ive T is by far my favorite. I have the Outcast 8s and the Kraton EXB but i dont use them much. Especially the Outcast as it breaks 4 out of every 5 runs. Ive had it for probably about 6 months and probably ran it about 20 times. Just not my go to RC.
Can we all just appreciate how he filmed this whole video while driving with one hand?
Thanks for watching Appreciate this support
no we cant appreciate that.
Definitely!!!
5th scale is my favorite. I like them all but I own the Kraton 8s among many others and seem to always migrate to my 8s. Its just so much fun to bash.
It is definitely a beast
Honestly I prefer the 8s, it's a beast. My buddy brought his 6s kraton, I had my 8s and there was really no comparison, the 8s shoots off dust like a 4 wheeler
Yes it does
It's more realistic because it's so much bigger
both trucks are awesome.
Yes they are!
I can see Arrma going from the Vorteks $330 to the Kraton 4s for $450 and then the kraton 6s at $550, but then $999 for 8s..
-I'm thinking wtf!😂
I just bought a 4s Blitzkrieg so I’m going to get a 6s Keaton but the 8s Kagama is what I’m really waiting on!..👍🏽
Nice i've never heard of that company
I love both!
Me too!!!!
My kraton 8s arrives Wednesday! I can't wait.
Nice

@@nezzysrcadventures1256 I will look into that that is a pricey combo
Yeah it definitely is
Kraton 8s is nice...but to heavy...Typhon 6s all the way!!!!!

Oh, it definitely is.
I love both, I have the 6s BLX and will be getting the 8s and I get my Xmaxx
Nice
Very cool powerful Video Bro. Like it 👍👍😻🔥
Thanks
I got the EXB K8 but i gotta get the EXB K6 also love them both. Dope vid keep ripin😤
Thanks for watching
I have a Kraton 6S and Outcast 4S. I love them both better than my Maxx and Erevo traxxas
I agree, thanks for watching.
How water proof are these? I need something that can go through a stream/creek!
seems pretty similar in performance
i just purchased the 6s maybe after its paid off i will get the 8s?? very very hard decision but i liked the speed of the 6s from vids i had seen most my runs are speed runs on a soccer and football field the 8s just seems to be too heavy

No problem I appreciate the support
6s for sure...
Lightweight rigs bash way better, and less damage
I couldn't agree more

I agree 100 percent.
Nowhere near the wow factor though. I own all 3 and the 8s is the crowd favorite lol

@@i4nic256 They are all super fun I'm enjoying the 4s also . With a pinion change the 8s is a handful for sure and needs space for sure 😊
Oh yeah needs a lot of space It's a big boy and such a beast
Is that the Canfield fair grounds ? Looks similar to
It's the Brockton fairgrounds
I think the smaller 6s is more agile/nimble and has a good speed and balance...the 1/5 seem underpowered unless you upgrade the motor for higher power!!!! Imo it needs more kick for being so heavy
Exactly
it’s faster than the 6s
The king Arrma Kraton
Yes sir
Most viewed video on your channel congrats.
Thanks for watching
8s 👍👍
I have a 6s blx and am having problems burning servos 6 of them I think the Esc is the problem I have a v5 spectrum setup
I’m kraton 6s blx v5 all day long it will take a 90 0/0 turn at full speed and keeping on
Yeah that sounds like an ESC problem
Definitely agree with you
how much range do they have?
About 300 yards
Kraton 8s. What size pinion are you running?
It's all bone stock But I will be getting the hobby wing Max 5 ESC And motor combo
I just got the kraton 6s v5 but I dont know what oil to use on it...
Thinking of 60K front
30k rear
500k center
What do you suggest?
Bare in mind I wanna baby my diffs for a long time and keep them good.. I run 2 3s
500k center, 60k front and 60k rear would be the best way As long as your oil in your center differential is thicker That's all that matters and Make sure to redo them every 90 days or so.
Also thanks for watching
@@nezzysrcadventures1256 no problem thanks for answering man
Subbed.💪🏻💪🏻
Absolutely the bigger the car the heavier the oil I agree 100%

I agree. I do have both of those vehicles
did you say rochester

Yeah I like the X Maxx more then the kraton 8s And I wasn't sure how much more it weighed it was just a guess
Thanks for watching
I have A DBXL brushless conversion That weighs 33 pounds With all the upgrades that I put in it and the batteries
I'm sorry I had a DBXL I sold it
head-to-head huh..... FP
Yes sir
