Buying Guide: ARRMA 1/8 KRATON 6S BLX 4WD Brushless Speed Monster Truck (V4)
Please visit www.horizonhobby.com/SearchDi... for more information on the 1/8 KRATON 6S BLX 4WD Brushless Speed Monster Truck.
To put so much incredible speed into the hands of intermediate-level bashers, ARRMA® has outfitted the new KRATON™ Speed Monster Truck with a potent 2050Kv brushless motor. It's paired with the BLX185 ESC, featuring 1C5™ connectors and compatible with standard EC5™ connectors. Bashing is a "go" even through mud and snow, thanks to waterproof electronics. Add your favorite 4S or 6S LiPo battery and watch this monster truck smash your speed expectations, especially when running with the optional recommended pinion gear.
With adjustable oil-filled shocks soaking up the bumps, the KRATON™ 6S BLX 4WD Speed Monster Truck blasts over dirt, asphalt, grass - all terrain and all conditions. The shocks are mounted on black-anodized aluminum towers. New, multi-split spoke wheels come outfitted with super-aggressive, multi-surface DBoots® COPPERHEAD 2 tires. A high downforce wing helps keep the vehicle grounded. Everything contributes to confident control and responsive handling at thrilling high speeds.
For the durability needed to support intense brushless performance, ARRMA® uses a strong anodized aluminum chassis as the foundation. A center body support and new aluminum center brace plus composite chassis side pods add more strength. All-metal diff outdrives and gearbox internals plus durable steel driveshafts provide a reliable, heavy-duty drivetrain that holds up to extreme, high-speed bashing. A new "never loose" aluminum steering servo saver and "never pop" ball ends supply more precision, reliability and confidence.
ARRMA® holds your maintenance downtime to the minimum with an efficient, driver-friendly design. A sliding mount allows quick, hassle-free motor access. The center diff is easy to reach and can be removed by taking out just seven bolts. Topping it all off is a monster truck body with streamlined good looks, featuring a red/black or blue/black trim and ultra-detailed decals.
The ready-to-run KRATON™ 6S BLX 4WD Speed Monster Truck includes the new Spektrum™ 2.4GHz STX2® transmitter and comes with its SRX200 receiver and ADS-15M metal-geared servo already factory-installed. The only required items are a 4S or 6S LiPo battery, compatible charger, safe charging bag, and 4 x AA transmitter batteries. ARRMA® recommends the Dynamite® Powerstage™ Stage 6 bundle (DYN1540), which includes a Passport™ Ultra P2 100W AC/DC Multi-Charger and two Reaction HD 5000mAh 3S hardcase LiPo batteries with EC5™ connectors.

Not gonna lie, I was a traxxas fan boy! Then the Nero 6S BLX pretty much became my favorite rc monster truck, in the last 45 years that I have been playing with rc cars!!! I seriously love the Diff-Brain because I could be scale trail driving my Nero, around 5 mph. Then I could trigger whip it, and totally pizza cut the front tires!!! And best of all, I had a total of 3 differentials that could be locked!!! This made my Nero the ultimate 4X4 running in any terrain!!!!! And my Fazon just screamed speed, even when it was sitting still!!!!! I seriously miss the Nero based platform, so much.....
I just bought mine, waiting for it to arrive.
Pretty keen.
Love my kraton 6s thing is a beast
Horizon Hobby service has been great... This was for a Granite 4x4 Mega that kept having motor issues. [Finally did a mild brushless upgrade; haven't needed warranty support since the upgrade.]
Bill K except for their radios suck
I think the Kraton is the better of the 2 between it and the E-Revo 2.0 ,but the only reason I got the E-Revo 2.0 instead is because one of my biggest RC passions is airbrushing custom bodies for my trucks and unfortunately there isn't many aftermarket bodies that fit the Kraton. Next time you guys release a new Basher,atleast make it more aftermarket body friendly.
Late to the party but I'm making this my second truck. Oonly just starting out (46) just bought a £100 truck to get used to things then it's a toss up between this and the typhon 6s although I'm not sure if I will be able to make the most of the Typhon's speed.
Really like this truck can't go wrong with the price and upgraded parts just add powerful batteries with charger it's a win win situation 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
Horizon hobby does the notorious buggy 6s with transmitter what are good BATTERYS and charger for this Truck snd are u based in Canada and if so were?
To horizon hobby ....i have one of these ,alot of people are disliking the radio that comes with these ,saying it lags,glitchy etc whats your say ?will you be upgrading it or swapping it out for owners that arent happy ? regards mark uk
2 year warranty. Will the modelshop in the uk sort this or do the customer have to sort this out . Asking because I'm getting one
Hey quick question, what charger do you use for the truck
I wish arrma would make an actual monster truck, like Traxxas has the xmaxx, arrma needs an actual monster truck instead of a monster truggy 🤞🏾
They do Make one
@@barracuda6817 what car?
Just got it today and already my reverse is not working? Any ideas? Something I might have pressed. ( Believe it or not, I went with this car as my first Ground RC ) lol
Using a super cheap radio in a sub-$200 brushed RC makes sense. Using the same radio in a +$500, 60mph, 8lb rocket is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Fix this, Horizon!
I agree
Agreed
Agree
I have a question for your
Why do you stop bougth you rc-car in France because the port was big
For more money can the optional gear be installed before shipped ?
Does it come with a jumper so if you like to run 1 battery you can. Please let me know thanks 😊
Where does the binding plug go?
Is the 2 years limited warranty applicable overseas, like in India?
Change that 15kg servo out, get front n rear chassis braces
I agree STEVO. And put back the Tactic TTX300 transmitter and return all the STX2 to the manufacturer. What i don't understand also is why a shop do a review on a truck that many users already reviewed? Who believe? a seller who search to make money on a product or a user who has bought the product with running videos?
@@NobodyNoWhereElse Right? And he called it a Monster Truck? I always thought it was a Truggy
And the trash radio.
Can't seem to find stock on any of these Arrma vehicles, this one, the Typhon 3S & 6S. Tried contacting Arrma to see when will they have stock again, no answer. Everything is 'backorder /pre-order'.
Amazon does have the kraton 6S & Typhon 6S, but for quite more $ than the normal price.
RC Bustanut tower has kraton 6s now
cant wait to buy my own there just sold out everywhere
Sameee😎😎
Tower has some now. Just ordered one
Controller settings. What do they do???
Can you use Traxxas batteries? They are 25c with 50c burst.
Arrma says 35c.
Clarity please
Thanks
You can use ANY battery if the connectors are the same.
I believe the term in the RC community is magic smoke!
Can I buy it without the Xmitter and receiver?
Is there anyway I can get this truck with a better transmitter out the box ?
Just buy a Dumbo handset for $30.
Easy install in 10 mins
Y’all recommend this or the big brother 1/5th K? I got some money to blow
What the best brand of 6s battery to use
lam D.R. That’s what I’d like to know
traxxas e revo killer
Pretty much ;).
@DeviousRC 66 bruh, the e revo kills itself out of the box with all the suspension and servo issues
@@abelvelazco5450 I love Arrma my only Arrma truck at the moment though is the Granite 4x4 BLX and I plan to have a Kraton eventually, but with that being said,my E-Revo 2.0 which is almost a year old now hasn't given me any trouble whatsoever...
Where is the best stockist in the UK to buy one of these and for aftercare??
Modelsport
Are the tires vented? This was probably already asked...
hi, will there be an arrma monster truck in the x-maxx size in the future?
We can neither CONFIRM nor deny this claim.
@@HorizonHobbyProducts I SEE what you did there.
Dam that’s fast. To expensive tho ):
544 is actually a decent price. Look at the e revo 2.0, that's a 600+ truck without the batteries
I wish it had self righting technology
Looking for an rc car that has good range and batterie life any suggestions for a noobie?
Just get any battery with high Millie amps
Can i Run a 6s Battery in my 4s kraton BLX 2400kv motor 5000mah 50 14.8 Battery?
Your esc will limit you and not let it run sometimes
The radio still junk that comes with these things?
STX2 on the v4 but the new v5 has a better one. Easy fix is to buy a dumborc for £25.
Plus 2100 smartcharger
Great truck, but the radio and servo just kills this thing.
Thank you for making an RC vehicle the way it should.... And or about time, ..lol! I need something to haul the airplanes out to the airfield... Or.. tow plane...lol....hi I conquered the wheels , so I put them away.. grab my wings... Yes I am towing a wagon with my... You want to see what else I can do¿?... Lol!!
It's a truggy..Not a Monster Truck though
@RC Daniel I'm sure they don't ..Lol
@@Shadows-RC I agree .. Kraton has a Truggy chassis..The Typhon and Outcast have the buggy chassis..But I get what you mean..The E-Maxx is a classic though, nothing to bash too hard with..If you want to bash hard get an Arrma..Everything they make is strong..Great company.
its not a truggy or not a monster truck its in bewteen truggys the suspeion is flat monster truck is high its in bewteen that more cleareance then truggy less then monster truck the perfec t blend for handling and jumping
@@kylerbuican7945 It's a monster truggy! Lol
@@philthyco1 yea thats what i would call it its perfect because monster has too much ground cleaarnce and it flips all the time but truggy doesnt have enoughs o i chasis slap all the time and driving over rocks the chasis hits them so arrma did great with it
I have 1000 to spend...what to buy? Hmmm
prove to me you still read this It would be nice if your remotes were good for more than 1 vehicle!! Kind of like that other company whos remotes can bind 30 cars why wont you do this??
Because many/most people prefer to upgrade to a programmable computer transmitter with more channels, features, and functions -- like the DX5C, DX5 Rugged, etc. -- when they have more than a few vehicles: www.horizonhobby.com/cars-and-trucks/radio-systems/transmitters/?cgid=cars-trucks-radio-systems-transmitters&prefn1=brand&prefv1=Spektrum&srule=price-low-to-high&sz=24
Toss the radio away soon as you unbox it because it's complete garbage, other than that it's freaking awesome 👍👍👍👍. Arma recall and change all the radios and you'll get 👍👍👍👍👍
Seems small, or does it just look that way on camera?
It’s actually quite big
I can't find an answer to this anywhere! Does anyone know how to adjust the new Arrma servo saver on all the new Arrmas? or are they non-adjustable? Part no. ARA340163
Yas not adjustable, it’s loctited on there good too, you will only damage it , there’s a few videos on UA-cam I saw already . I could be wrong but that’s what I remembered if I’m correct. Hope That helps
@@jaguarsrcfamily101 that's a shame! Mine doesn't need adjusting but it would have been nice if I could. Thanks for letting me know!
Only thing bad about this truck is that garbage radio
Why do you rip us off here in the UK? The price of your RCs when compared to the US is ludicrous! Especially when you consider Arrma are based in the UK.
I've a feeling ill be waiting a long time for a reply.
Come to Australia mate it’s a LOT worse here
The new servo saver is rubbish it’s to lose
That thin chassis tho. 6061.
A 7075 option at a good price, not like all the aftermarket chassis plates, would be welcome too.
@@NobodyNoWhereElse If they made one I would get the arrma cars
@@BillysRC That chassis is fine unless you want to go Rich Duperbash big air lol..Then a M2C chassis upgrade is needed..But just normal jumping and bashing it's fine and there are chassis braces available
U can’t do 5s
"Silly" ? Can you specify or define silly.
U can't run 5s on that esc LMAO 😂 🤦🏾♂️ bro u didn't do your homework
NIMH Mode 😶😮🙂🤫
@@RcA_Rc well duh
Can he run on 3s for my house ?
@@leo0528 can run 3s but don't know if esc can detect lvc so I put a lipo checker on
jay Andre I would like to know that question also, this one or the 8S the guy never answered you
5s?
If you want. Use a single 5s pack tho, not 2 separate packs. Ex: 1 2s pack and 1 3s pack. Stay away from doing that.
