@@SupercarAlex150 What's up brother? I have some more coming in on Wednesday of next week. If you would like to order my website I would reship the same day I receive 💯
I just received my Kraton 6s V5 this morning and cannot realize how big it is. Not knowing, I ordered the wrong batteries , I ordered my connector adaptor this morning and they should come in next week. I am impressed on how big those RC cars are and I almost ordered a 8s, but that one comes with the batteries.
It’s crazy how quickly some of these releases are becoming available. I hope to get this truck out for a first run video very soon. 😄 As always, thanks for watching!
From my experience, the E-Revo 2.0 has stronger drivetrain components and ARRMA 1/8th scale vehicles have stronger suspension components. If you’ll be jumping often, I’d probably recommend the Kraton over the E-Revo. 👍 Thanks for watching!
@@skycorrigan6511 The transmitter/receiver is kind of hit or miss from my experience. It’s a great combo when it works. The system had some range issues in my Kraton, but the one in my Notorious was perfectly fine. If you have any issues, Horizon Hobby’s customer service usually does an excellent job.
Everybody is saying the upgrades aren't worth the extra $(50), but those are a lot of useful upgrades I won't have to do myself, so it could actualy save me money: $50 transmitter $ a lot for the small upgrades Hope the chassis wil be stronger than the old one
I agree, it includes a lot of nice upgrades considering the price difference.👌 I’m definitely hoping to put this new chassis to the test, I’m also very curious. Thanks for taking the time to watch!
@@LVC_RC If that new chassis is worth something, normal bashers like me won't need 70/75 stuff. Also, could you compare the responsiveness of the new radio to the old one and to something else, for example the Traxxas stock one?
Hey dude, nice video.. so it comes with/o batteries.. so which batteries do you recommend… and connector type.. do you have a link to exact batteries specs to buy.. thanks man.
Thanks! Here are some links to batteries I would recommend: 4S LiPo: genstattu.ositracker.com/322778/13968/url_30048 6S LiPo I use in my Kraton: genstattu.ositracker.com/322778/13968/url_29424 Both of the batteries I linked come with EC5 connectors, which are compatible with the IC5 connectors included on the Kraton. You will have to remove the sliding retainer on the Kraton's battery tray in order to fit the batteries mentioned due to their size. It's a tight fit, but they are excellent batteries. 😄👍
So have a question whats that red and black wire that's next to the spektrum fan whats it for? You can see it in this video time stamp is 5:07 please let me know
Jason seems to be doing well. I haven't heard from him much recently, but I saw on Instagram that they were putting up the sign for their new shop the other day. Not sure about the details. 👍
The electronics, steering top plate, and the C/D blocks should fit the V4, but the chassis and a-arms would need to be updated in order to fit the rest of the upgrades I believe.
@@LVC_RC Does the Kraton 6s v5 still has the diff issue of the older models? Sorry for the noob question. Getting into the hobby and gunning for the k6 as my first car. Cant find any info about it anywhere.

The diffs actually hold up pretty well. I'd recommend adding one of the included spare shims to the front and rear diffs on the ring gear side (total of 2 shims on each diff). It really helps improve durability; especially on 6s.
@@blackriderph4340 The transmitter should already be bound to the receiver out of the box and the throttle trim should already be set too. 👍 Have fun with it! Congrats. 😄
just received mine yesterday, I opened the box and found a damaged transmitter and front shock leaked oil over the entire truck😒, sending it back and getting a refund.
@@ByronRC Don’t get the fun with out the failures in this hobby, so it is still part of the fun. Also $1,000???? What the hell you got ripped tf off my friend
The IC5 is new the Smart Technology version of the EC5. It’s just a different color and has an added pin between the two main bullets for Smart batteries.
Great unboxing Garrett!!! Look forward to many more. Thank you for all the support 🙏
Thanks a lot, Jason!! I really appreciate it. 👊😎
JJ Customs do you have more V5 Kratons in Stock?

That’s awesome! Can’t wait to get my hands on the Notorious v5. I’ll be looking out for more videos on this truck😁🤘🏼
That’ll be awesome, the Outcast/Notorious platform is one of my favorites. You’ll have a blast with it!! 😎👌 Thanks for watching!
@@LVC_RC Thanks🤙🏼
Looks wicked. Can't wait to try it out.
It’s looking like a beast for sure. 😅 Thanks for tuning in!

Sounds like better option than exb version
Cant wait for this to be sent...
And I can’t wait to send it... 😄 Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed the unboxing. 👊
damn im still paying off my v4, just kidding. love the chassis and shock tower upgrades
Awesome review my friend! Glad Horizon got rid of that horrible STX2 Remote. Sweet!
Thanks man! I was excited to see that too, this SLT3 seems pretty solid. 👌
This or the Erevo 2.0? I like to jump my RC's but I also run in the grass often. Which is better?
I want to know this too! So I’m replying so I get notified when you get an answer, if you don’t mind👍

Why dont they put the DX3 in this newest version if this thing should be there flagship? The SLT3 looks like from a 30 bugs toy...
So have a question whats that red and black wire that's next to the spektrum fan whats it for? You can see it in this video time stamp is 5:07 please let me know
What is parts availability and support like for the Kraton
Here's a tip.... To everyone who wants a V5 Kraton.... pull your diffs and snug up your screws.
Y love e Revo 2.0
I got a question can you run the truck on 2 3s I have two 5,ooo 50cc discharge is the 11.1 volt will two of them get the job done
Yes the Kraton can handle 4-6S LiPo. Two 3S batteries plugged in will equal 6S. 👍
Which motor would you guys suggest as an upgrade?
Imagine a V8 😂👍🏼
Oh man, 2023 will be amazing. 😂
Hi ive got mine on order wat battery plug needed to fit to car thanks
Awesome! This vehicle runs IC5 connectors. 👍
Hi will ec5 blue plug fit thanks muchly
Yes, EC5 plugs will work with IC5. 😄
something i never understood. if its a 150 amp ESC how the hell does it only use ic5 connectors?
Did you need to add shims?
Yes, I added another shim to the front/rear diffs on the ring gear side. 👍
So nice ya don’t even wanna ruin it !😂
😂 Almost. Gotta rip off the band aid though! 🤘😎
How is Jason doing? I used to go there all the time and now I herd they closed shop because of covid is that true? And if so were did he move to?.
Jason seems to be doing well. I haven't heard from him much recently, but I saw on Instagram that they were putting up the sign for their new shop the other day. Not sure about the details. 👍
Whats the plug for by the esc has red and black wire not plugged into anything
Arrma Kraton V5 6s or Carson Specter 6s? I cant make up my mind
Kraton hands down. 😄👍
What battery and charger should I get I don’t care about price so what spektrum smart batteries and charger should I get
The Spektrum S1200 G2 and a Smart G2 6s 5000mah pack should work well. 👍
Nice!!!
Will any of the upgrades fit on the v4?
The electronics, steering top plate, and the C/D blocks should fit the V4, but the chassis and a-arms would need to be updated in order to fit the rest of the upgrades I believe.
What battery connector does kraton 6s v5 use? Xt90 or ic5? Thanks! New sub

@@LVC_RC thank you! You’ve helped me a lot with all my questions.
This or notorious v5 6s?
I prefer shorter wheelbase trucks, so I’d say the Notorious 6s V5. 👍
Is it faster to run on one 6s or 2x3s ?
It should be the exact same speed either way. 👍
@@LVC_RC do I have to run a certain brand battery or does it not matter?
@@AMS_EnzoYou can choose any brand you’d like. Just make sure that if you run 2x3s, both batteries you use are the same brand, spec, and age.
I think ill get one
Have fun 🤘😎
Did they vent the tires yet?
No, still just the usual holes on the inside of the wheels.
@@LVC_RC I see.. thank you!
Have you needed to play with the diffs
I’ll probably add an extra shim to the front and rear diffs before the first run. 👍
No one seems to know is the rear diff LSD or open like the exb
@@eddieroadrunner6691 It’s open like the V4 lineup.
How is the v5 going have you used it much
Now I’m sad with my v4😢
Don’t worry, you’ll still have a blast with it. 😄👍 Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed a great video let's be friends. 🤩🤩
우리 친구 해요!!!!!
How much is it?
They go for around $570 most places. 👍
A unboxing? Theres thousands already done. Why another?
This video was uploaded when the V5 Kraton was first released, so there weren’t any/many unboxings of this vehicle at the time.
just received mine yesterday, I opened the box and found a damaged transmitter and front shock leaked oil over the entire truck😒, sending it back and getting a refund.

Ic5 or ec5?
