Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Check out the new ARRMA Kraton 8s BLX 1/5 scale monster truggy! This thing is a beast. Not only is it the largest ARRMA, but it comes with all new SMART Technology electronics from Spektrum. It's running the Firma 160 amp ECX and Firma 4685 1250kv brushless motor. Lots to talk about and look at, so I'll let the video do the talking.

Going to put down money this weekend for this bad boy. Super excited!
You are so lucky to be able to afford this bro
Love your excitement Tony 😁 dont think I've seen you that excited lol, absolutely fantastic review and unboxing bro, ARRMA HAVE KNOCKED IT OUT THE PARK........ A- GAIN 😱really enjoyed every minute of this video 👍🥰👍😎👍,
It’s like you knew what the ARRMA big release was all along! Imagine that!?
👽 I don’t know what you are talking about 👽
🤐🤐🤐🤐🧐🤨😂🤣
I saw this unboxing and aussie rc, no one did a size comparrison dang it!!! Apart from that great job sir. 👍
check JayTee RC. He just did a comparison with the X-maxx 8s for size ua-cam.com/video/RrrkvTTSn0k/v-deo.html
Kevin talbot does a size comparison compared to the 8s and the x maxx
Very good detail in this and I like that you showed the Bluetooth setup too. Well done man. 👍😉
Great video, can't wait to get mine this Saturday!!
You did a fantastic job on this video 👍 That intro was sweet and great job with the cameras and lights. Great overview of the vehicle 👍👍
Love the channel mate! And loving this new kraton! 👍😎🇦🇺
👍It looks big that's for sure!! Nice showcase Tony!
it's really heavy. I think I pulled my neck moving it to the garage
I seen one of those in person yesterday, omg I must have one soon
Lol same.here today.. damn its huge!!
Great detailed video. Looks like I may have to add one to my arrma collection.
Congrats Tony brother,, what a Beautiful Beast,,, awesome job like Always bro
FYI.. M2C upgrades is a must for bashing and high jumps......and also you'll need the Hot Racing aluminum pillow ball caps..stock will not stay in.....they pop out too easy...
Wow first the DBXL-E 2.0 n now this, they been sending u some sweet rigs, I had to edit cus u did pay for it, but still bro thats so kewl u got one of the 1st ones, I seen Kevin Talbot got one too
I love it.
Rich Duperbash, RCDude81 has one..I don't lol,🤷🏾♂️
I went backwards and watched the live stream of the two rigs running before i watched this one. This looks like an excellent rig and Aarma really did a great job designing it to be super tough. It has such a squatted look to it and width makes me think this is going to handle really well. Great Video as always!!!
I actually released them backwards. I figured everyone else would lead with an unboxing, so I started with my first run...then the live and then this. :)
Precision engineered.
Oh yeah rc stuff is my favorite
Well done unboxing👏👏👍 awesome rig Tony😁
Really wish it was priced at $799 instead of $899. Parts availability and support would lean my toward and Xmaxx.
I think part support for this will be right up there with the X-maxx, but you are right...there is great part support for the X-maxx. Our stores carry a lot of traxxas and arrma parts.
@@CCxRC unfortunately even though I live in one of the biggest cities in the country. Our local hobbytown closed down. I have to go to other hobby shops you rarely have a good selection of Arrma parts. On the other hand. I have 3 authorized Traxxas dealers near me. I'm looking forward to other 8s arrmas. Was never a big fan of the Kraton. Was hoping for a big rock or something.
Its a conspiracy ! You knew what this was all along even though you had streams talking about it LOL It looks like an EXCELLENT rig!
👽 I'll never tell 😈 😂😉
Woww James would love this when he gets older, too young rn!!
Good job on the review.
Has potential for sure..
Damn I am blown away by this truck 🔥🔥🔥can’t wait to see what everyone does to customize this beautiful machine 👑
Really like how you did this video 👍👍
Thanks for the feedback. Definitely helps me understand what people like and dislike.
@@CCxRC Well I am into details so what I like might not be the norm. I figure everyone has different terrain but the construction of the truck doesn't change so I like to learn as much as I can. I was looking at the exploded views on Arrma's site yesterday 🤣
I am wondering though why they decided not to go for the square 18mm instead of the 24mm hex. I believe that the 18mm square drive is mostly used in 1/5 vehicles? That way you could easily use any 1/5 wheels without mods
Hi Tony, Was thinking of getting a XRT for this summer's bash vehicle, but am now looking at this Kraton. Would you say this would be a good truck to jump and bash around with? Thank you, Tony, and wanted to also share I have really enjoyed your products for my SCX24 especially the servos and motors. Great stuff. Traxxas has certainly caused an 'Arrma Gett'n' :)
Get one you will love it!
0:45 unboxing
2:15 specs on the box
7:30 first look at the kraton 8s
7:42 transmitter & instructions
12:15 wheels and rear assembly
16:10 body and exterior
18:00 inside look at the electronics
27:53 final thoughts
With no knowledge on it, you did pretty good!
I haven't even had time to go over the specs sheets that came out yesterday or all their how-to videos. Hoping to learn even more about it.
@@CCxRC if you could only choose one between kraton 8s and dbxl-e 2.0, which one?
Yes that's sick, I better start saving, can you do a size comparison to be 6s Kraton.
I don't have a Kraton 6s, but I know that Rich Duperbash has posted photos of the comparison. JayTee RC might do that as well. I think he has a Kraton 6s as well.
@@CCxRC thank you,
I worry about the drive shafts seems small would of thought 6mm at the smallest. I guess if there's not much flex in the arm might not matter, time will tell
They look really proportionate to the size
I put the losi mtxl gas wheels on it and oh my god does it so much cooler on it
That’s gotta look massive with those!
That's pretty amazing 👍🏼
This is big!
Very cool
Great chassis, Why that 1/10 scale body ?
As I just bought a 6s Kraton I think I'm gonna wait and hold out hope for a outcast 8s. Its really nice but I don't see spending that much for a bigger truck I already got. Which is why if there outcast comes out which I imagine it will I'm sold! Very cool! Tony can you ask that guy from arrma tonight please??
We'll have Greg Sopa from Horizon Hobby on RC Conspiracies this coming Monday, but I'm sure they can't disclose that. would be cool. Just a shorter chassis right?
@@CCxRC yeah that's would be awesome! As I already own a kraton a outcast version would be nice. Plus shorter arms and shorter wheel base for insane wheelies! Glad you got one bud!! Can't wait for what you have to come! 👌👊
Nice!!!
Que top e que coleção legal vc tem esse é bruto mesmo 😎👍
Hello, may you help me that is kraton 8s exb is more batter or rtr is more batter? I want even know what is difference between exb and rtr 😢😢
Another great video ! How do you think it compares to the new Losi dbxl e 2.0. Only asking cause I can only afford one lol
Hard to say at this point. Does have a bigger motor system
Question how did you guys and I mean rc UA-camrs get it early before everyone?
Beautifull 8s. 😁
Why aluminum chassis? Maaaaan I wish it wasn't so. That would save a ton of weight, bc this thing is unnecessarily heavy.
Please tell me there is gonna be a outcast coming too! Congrats Tony! You bought it you said? Or did they send it?
I bought it. Maybe we can RC Conspiracy an Outcast into existence!
@@williamperri3437 Yeah that shocked me a little. I think they should of just sent it to Tony lol. Hey I've been looking for you on here to let you know about the losi 22s st is on sale for 150$!! 50mph brushless stadium truck 2wd for that money is great! I bought one and it's due in tomorrow! I don't own a st or a 2wd truck so thought for that money it be great to add to my collection. It was originally 300$. Fiqured I'd give you a heads up just in case bro! 👊👌. It looks nice, especially at that price!
899???
I bought a brand new one for 700 got so lucky
This one or xmaxx better???🤔🤔
Totally different driving style. This is more planted.
@@CCxRC had 2 xmaxx's before,just got the kraton 8s on offer up for 640dls in very good conditions and honestly is a beast!!!im more excited with this one..
🐸 So you “buy” some of your RC’s at Horizon huh. Nice that those free 4s Spektrum Smart batteries will work. Hope Venom doesn’t get jealous with all this cheating on them you’ve been up to. LOL So far it doesn’t look like a XMAXX killer guess we will see, some day, maybe after this 1/2 hour unboxing is finished. Later
😂 You always have the best comments. Yes, I do have to buy some RCs still. lol. Most actually. And the K8S has only ever seen Venom batteries. 😂 Get some popcorn and a magazine...this is a long one.
CCxRC 🐸 Do I really need the magazine to entertain myself during your video, not usually. Lol
i want it....
its a 24mm
Thanks. They didn’t give us any specs when we got these so I just measured it and got 25. Good to know what it’s actually classified as
I like it by why another Kraton? Should of came out with a real monster truck ?! It’s just a bigger Kraton in my opinion ☹️
I think they went with a Kraton because Kraton's sell. They already have name recognition and a loyal fanbase. I also think they went truggy, because it sets them apart.
CCxRC 🤔makes sense
That was painful, you took forever to actually get to the unboxing......then you skipped it!
$899 plus sway bars? 🤔
I don't think it needs sway bars.
@@CCxRC So why did they put sway bars on the Kraton 6s then? I just think that Arrma is becoming more and more like Traxxas unfortunately. They leave stuff out and then you have to go buy it yourself. My opinion. I'm assuming that an Outcast 1/5 8s is coming too. That would be more interesting TO ME. 😁
Sway bars extra....so is the must have M2C upgrades.....yeah price those and see how much your investment really is🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😱
@@redblue40rc33 And now the EXB has "EXB optional equipment". Yup just like Traxxas 🤣. Oh well.
No unboxing. Disappointed.
1/5 scale? Where the engine? Boooooring...
I'm glad that in better light the anodized parts are red not orange. Still sad only 2 color choices
