Holy f'ing crap. That was an amazing bash. This spot has so much to offer (other than the water). My favourite video of yours I believe. Eleven minutes of full on unedited bashing with only a few cuts. Huge air, doubles, triples, wonkies that still landed on all 4's. Only to be done in by the words "I'm getting away with way too much". I love Rich and Eric's videos but this was you doing it over and over and over on a STOCK RC (what most of us have) in just a few cuts. (You used the other pinion but it came with the car). I take back that I once wrote that you don't get the big air that they do. Well done. Have you adjusted the punch settings? I don't remember you saying so. I hope that ARRMA sent you a Mojave. ARRMA would do well to send one to someone who puts their RC through their paces in stock condition.
Wow, that's one of the nicest comments I've received in a long time, thank you very much. 😊👍 Punch settings are all stock. To be honest, I've never adjusted any of my ESC settings on any of my ARRMA cars, I leave them stock. Not for any particular reason other than I just don't need to change them... Maybe I should? 🤷♂️
ditto - what he said, above you.....Vas, I don't think you have to worry about missing out on the sycamore bmx track anymore. That was friggin awesome!
In fairness this v4 is not stock... he does have Aluminum Chassis braces and hinge Pin Braces all around... But nothing crazy! Awesome bash Vas.... That Misty was sick.... Especially if it was intentional 😉😏 Big triples and huge doubles.... Just very consistent solid landings bro! Kraton is a beast. If you get the M2C shock tower brace (not shock towers.... Though those help also) you could just remove the Tower to Tower... At that point its more problems than its worth, or just undo one end and zip tie that side so it has some give. You probably know all this.... Bash on brother 🎯👍💯
This video is the reason I love arrma. Their cars are the toughest on the market by far. The only other rc's I have owned that come close is my xmaxx, and my losi 8ight t.
I don't know what it is, but I reckon I could watch your videos all day long. This is one of my favourites too, it's good reminder of just how good the Kraton 6s is and why it's so popular. So much power and speed, yet still controllable. Loved it, thank you.
Hey vas. I just bought one of these, primarily because of You and rich duperbash! Watching you guys chuck these things sky high is unreal! I'm glad I got sucked back into this hobby👊😁
AWESOME bash Vas!!!😎😱Love the Mega Orbit launches and backies!! Great action for stock diff setup! I agree on the pinions! They are very capable with a little larger pinion to unleash the beast in them!💪5:24 must have entered orbit and come back down! It was out of my screen!!😂Man that last hit was BRUTAL!😱Not bad considering though! Sucks the body cracked like that! I haven't tried mine out yet but it's just the clear one...definitely going to reinforce the crap out of it! KILLER bash and vid Vas!!😎👊👊🤘🍻
Thank you so much Eric. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I saw it burning up a bit a couple of times as it re-entered the atmosphere. 🤣🤣 Kraton certainly took a bit of effort to break, but considering the landing and how much I was getting away with, I was very happy with the result. Bought a couple new links, hammered the tower back into shape and it's ready to go again. 😊👍💪
Another fantastic vid Vas!! Backflips with impunity!! The triple was Gold...as the front flip to whip... which you landed??!!! How!!??? hahaha Awesome cars the V4 Arrmas hey!!! You are fast becoming my fav RC reviewer on the Tube mate!! Keep it up brother!!
When you said she’s muddy and dirty but she’s oh so nice that way, my mind slipped off of Armma kraton 6s to ...... well let’s just say it wasn’t a car that slipped into my mind. Eeerm let’s just get back to the car now. I love the bashing body very nice for playing with and keeping the original pristine x
Simply insane. At one point thought you were driving a cat, just keep landing on it's wheels, minus 9:35😁 Disappointing on the brute body. Kraton is such a tank. Amazing as always Vas.
Haha, thanks man. Yeah, I got lucky a few times there, but the Kraton can take so much abuse that you just feel like you can try things you normally wouldn't dare with other trucks. Haha. Thanks for watching, my friend, appreciate the support. 😊👍🤜🤛
Ohhhh hell yeah 😜!!!! Going full sends again Vas 😱. AWESOME Bash Brother 👊. You landed some wicked huge airs and flips. I'd say the Kraton did fantastic too. The last one was rough, but something had to give. Bummer on the body 👀. I can say 100% I won't be getting one after seeing that split. Thanks for the Killer upload my friend!!!! 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊
Thank you so much Rich. Yeah, a bit disappointed about the body as well. Not sure if that's the typical reviewer's curse at it again or these bodies really do split or break like this on a regular. I have the clear version of the Brute body, so I might bring the Kraton back here with that one and see how it fairs.
Im really surprised about the body it was a big hit but mine has had some shockers also and is holding up awesome. Go for the tripple next time it will clear it 👍
👍#391: I’m slowly getting caught up😣 I'm glad to see you guys "Down Under" having some warmer weather, while we cool off here. I'm looking forward to watching your videos during the months we cannot get out to play.😍 Bring on RC Carnage and Race Wars!😮👌 You DID sound like you were having fun. Good for ya!😎😁 I knew you were pushing it but it could have been MUCH worse.😉
Sick bashing session mate! I just got the same body for my #6s #KRATON but i went with the a precut clear body so I can customize it and painted myself! All the best from FL!
Awesome bash! I am now the proud owner of a lightly used Arrma OutKast I am very happy with it so far. I have a couple videos of it up so far on my channel. Just recently installed a 16 tooth pinion to see how it reacts with that. Between the videos you make and some of the other guys with their Arrma rc’s I couldn’t help but go get one. 🤘🏻👊🏻 Bash on!!!
Wow Vas that that was crazy! awesomely good! With the V3 KRATON FLYING Bash session. I bet the people on the freeway 😲we're looking at what is that going up that high? 1 of the BEST. 😉👋👍👍👏👏
Is it a crazy coincidence that your Kraton broke in almost exactly the same place as mine on it's first pretty big crash? Same side of the car and everything bro. Think they must have had a bad batch of rods made because I haven't had the problem since and I've battered it with bad landings galore. But it's far from stock. All I need is a 5mm thick chassis to complete my mission. Awesome video man, epic bashing 👍
Excellent buddy, that's the vids I love to see you making!!! You can't complain about the damage with the abuse it took, very little damage for the landing it took, how did the shock shafts hold up?
Awesome freakin bash session my friend the Kraton is such an amazing platform my absolute favorite you had some great jumps there man very nice happy bashing bro👍👍🤙😎🤪😜😝🙈🙉🙊👊✌
Are you using the stock radio? You said that it kinda sucks and have lag on the other review. What radio upgrade do you suggest? What brands? Please help us mortals in the RC world! heheeh and BIG THANKS for your videos!
Hey mate... Just getting back into RC cars, its been about 25 years, so im a bit behind i feel😊... Like your vids and was wondering what u think og the e revo Vs the kraton or maby outcast... Cant Seem to find and vids of u bashing the e revo.. Cheers from Denmark
Aussie RC Playground I remember back a few years ago you did a go pro bash session with that thing. It was cool looking, and entertaining. But yeah. Doubt it was durable at all. Probably broke as much as it ran. Smart Cash is on not lasting long.
Aussie RC Playground it was a great video. Wish you’d do more like that. I’m sure it was a bunch of work, all the edits and shots. But if I wasn’t halfway around the world, I’d help in a heartbeat if you needed.
Gotta love the KRATON. 👍👍 Probably my favorite. 🤩 So stable in the air. Absolutely killer bash session. 🚀🚀 The aerials were awesome. 👏👏👏👏. Great job on the bash. That blue wire came loose on my V4 as well. Hmmm #sendit. Bash on 😎😎
Hey Vas love the kraton, is there any chance you could do a vid explaining diff fluids, I'm used to 2wd cars and am a bit intimidated at the thought of tearing this thing apart. You should know it was your awesome videos that convinced me to buy the Kraton. Appreciate all that you do for the hobby. Take care
Unbelievable bashing. I don't even know what else to say. Wow, Vas. Maybe your best stunt vid ever? And that's saying something! This is RC awesomeness defined. 👑👑 👏👏👊🏼👊🏼
Ermmmm that's all that broke? From that height ? Unbelievable. Great video as always. Straight to the point. It would be interesting to see the E-revo or equivalent doing the same jumps to compare.
I don't think Traxxas would want to see how that ends up, lol. Not hating, as I own a handful of TRX stuff. But these massive air launches and imperfect landings would make for a short bash session with a Revo, or even the ridiculously overpriced $1000 "hunk-o-plastic" X-Maxx.
That was an awesome bash!!! Now I have some ideas of how I’m going to treat my Kraton V4 hahaha so far I’ve only installed the chassis braces and it’s held up to my 8yr old with a heavy trigger finger
Epic bash fella 💪 👊. 'Subbed' Great torque on the stock diff oil. Not sure what they use on Kraton centre diff, but don't think it's more than 7k - 10k max.... How long you been running car on the stock diff oil ? Greetings from blighty. 👍🏿
Thanks Jason. My rigs generally stay with the stock oils unless I want a specific type of performance. Thanks for the sub and welcome to the channel. 😊👍
Keep practicing, my man, you'll get there. Start small and work your way up. But be warned, mistakes and broken parts are inevitable. It's all part of the learning process. The important thing is that you learn and keep trying to improve. 👍😊
Honey, I’m home! So many cars to choose from indeed. But nothing bashes quite like the kraton or outcast. I thought those tires would hook up better. Kinda losing traction? Backflips are cheap and imo best for these cars. Proline mx38s also hook up well and give a lot more rotation for flips. Heavier but they’re fun. Sorry about the body. Def not indestructible eh? Was an awesome bash Vas! A gnarly landing will send any car to the shop. Cheers!
Tyres were fine, but of course there's always better or different if you prefer. For me, these stock tyres work fine, but like you said, a heavier tyre will definitely promote more aggressive backflips. And I think a slight diff tune will also help... Thanks for watching, man, really appreciate the support. 😊👍
Nice session. I was bashing the skatepark yesterday with my completely built V3 Notorious, and I pulled this streetlight high lazy double (you know the kind when you have so much hang time you can take a second to leave her hanging inverted😉), and their was about 8 sub 12 yo. kids there. After landing, and driving away I here from across the skatepark, "OMG!!! DID YOU SEE HOW HIGH THAT WENT! THAT'S THE KINDA RC CAR I NEED!". Arrma tough kid, Arrma tough!💪💪💪😎
Thoughts on the 4s 1/10 version of this guy? After looking at lots of RCs a brushless 4s Kraton seems like its a heck of a value. I only currently have a brushed e-maxx so this would be quite an upgrade for me i believe. Any other $400 ish RCs to consider? thanx all
What time and date were you at the Altona Stunt Park? I was there on the 25th September 11am - 1:30pm with my Outcast, but I had no where near the Balls to go that big 😂💪
Does any aftermarket company make a wing mount/wheelie bar for the Notorious that doesn’t break the back screws every other run? Bout to sell it, I have an aluminum mount, I’m getting sick of picking broken screws out of the top of the diff case
No disrespect, but stop landing on the wing. I've never broken a wing mount on any of my ARRMA cars and as you can see, I don't exactly go easy on them. Also, an aluminium wing mount is about the worst upgrade you can put on these cars for bashing. That and aluminium a-arms. But anyway, just my experience with this cars and I can't relate to yours, sorry. Thanks for watching and the comment though. 👍😊🤜🤛
Vas would I be ok with motor temps running the bigger pinion and bashing? Obviously I don't bash as hard as you so think it will all stay cool enough? Great video buddy. Also did you remove t2t or did you upgrade braces on this v4? I forgot it you said it or not
@@AussieRCPlayground lol yeah I finally saw it at the end. But also you've never had any heat issues running the bigger pinion and bashing? I'm thinking of throwing it on now after you said that.
Vas I'm a huge Arrma supporter and not a fan of traxxas at all but have you ever considered getting a erevo 2.0? I always wondered how it would fair with guys like you and Rich Duperbash and other big air guys. It's not a coincidence most of the big air guys run Arrma but I've always been curious how it would fair. I'm guessing not too well.
From my experience with the E-REVO 2.0 at the hobby shop I work at, I think it would be lucky to go a full pack without it breaking. And with much less effort. But even if it didn't break, I doubt the motor would last. I've seen nearly every 2.0 we've sold burn out their motors within the first 6 packs and a couple of ESCs with thermal lockouts which can only be reset by TRX. Aside from all that, I'm not going to pay a grand (they retail for $999aud) for car I know won't last and will need $$$ on upgrades just to be on par with my ARRMA's. I wouldn't give any of my hard earned to that company, anyway, so not gonna ever happen on this channel. Unless someone wants to donate their car for testing or if TRX wants to put their money where their mouth is, they can send me one. But they won't because they know it will fail.
Bad crash. You bet the shock Tower a little bit. And snapped a steering rod. Oh my goodness. I can't believe it and that was a bad bad crash. And you were purposely Just Landing it on the flat many many times. That truck is super amazing tough. Vaz. I don't know if you read all of these. But I have the Sabertooth from HobbyKing. Do you think it would be possible to make one of those plastic cages in the middle of the Creighton screw into my truck. And for my next 8th scale do I go Outcast or. Karton. I also saw your video on Facebook today. About getting the anniversary edition Outkast. You could really feel your emotion and. I just want to tell you that you are one of the guys that really deserves to be given this truck. You have done so much for the hobby. And I just want you to know personally I think that you are definitely and RC God. Legend. right up there with Jimmy Page my brother. Anyways great video you did good job. I hope you get the max X. Buy Traxxas. I think you're going to be seriously disappointed. Doesn't even come with optional high speed gear. Which doesn't make sense. They probably spend about $5 in manufacturing. On the high side to put that on the truck. and when you do you know they're going to crash it so you going to make more money or of broken parts. And it has plastic drive shafts. the best thing about it I think is that they made a really good adapter 17 mm. On a 6 mm shaft. That everybody is probably going to used to make their 10th scale trucks be able to use 17 mm tires. I just watched a up-close video and. Traxxas drop the ball big time. What are your thoughts. I can't wait for you to get the truck and give it the torture test. Anyways love God bless .vaz. you're the best!
Thank you very much for your kind words, brother. Really appreciate you taking the time to write all that. 🤜🤛 As for the Maxx, no, I won't be getting one. I made a decision a while ago never to get anything from that brand on the channel again after the way they treated and threatened another UA-camr simply because they used the name of one of their trucks in the video title they didn't like. I since sold anything I had from that brand and will never named them again on my channel, so I will not be getting any of their products ever again. Sorry. Personally, the Maxx truck is very over priced. The truck retails for $550 in the US, which is the same as a 6S Kraton, but over here the 6S Kraton retails for $830 while the Maxx is $985. Huge difference and probably the worst value for money truck on the market today. The E-Revo is $999 and that was already too expensive compared to the Kraton, but now the Maxx truck is next level rip-off. The funny thing is that people will still buy it here simply because of the brand. Nothing to do with quality or durability or speed, it's just because it's from that brand and they'll just buy it. Meh, whatta ya do...?🤷♂️
With that optional 15 tooth pinion does the car motor overheat ever? I’m thinking about doing this to mine. I always run it on pavement or very short grass or light sand like this. What do you think?
How do you get your kraton to wheelie so easy . Im using a 6s 80c lipo with 100 thousand diff fluid in the center and 50k in the front and rear and my punch is set on 4 and I can only wheelie once and a while ? Oh I'm running stock gearing to . Thanks Vas !
Good times bash Vas. You're getting launched way up there brother. that triple BF was NUTS 😲🤘👍💪👏👊. And the huge double BF out of the camera angle range was wicked!! Had some great saves on those front flips attempts. Sucks on the breakages.. but the Kraton is one Beastly of a truck. Hats off to Arrma!! The Proline bash armor body was a bust!! It's also known to take out body post due to its weight on hard bashing. I prefer ProBodyRC unbreakable body ( ua-cam.com/video/npy8rzWYDi4/v-deo.html ) Lite weight and does the job better IMHO. Awesome bash brother.
Thank you very much. Yeah, the Kraton took some effort before it caved in, but it's already fixed and ready for more. Only part I broke was the steering link, but I later found I also snapped a screw inside the GKA front chassis brace and that will take some work to fix (if I can fix it). Now I just need to either patch or replace the body and wait for a nice to go again. 💪😁👍
Thanks heaps for the support. 😊👍 I just hammered the tower back into shape and the car is good to go again. Took me 10min and saved myself the money. Considering I land on my feet most of the time, I'm happy to take my chances with the stock towers. Stronger towers will just transfer the impact down the line and the bulkheads could snap as a result. Rather have a bent tower I can straighten then a broken bulkhead I need to replace.
@@AussieRCPlayground that is all true. I have hammered my kraton towers back to straight propably three times. Its an easy fix and doesnt cost anything 👍 Some time ago i bought scorchedrc titanium towers but i have not put those in yet.
Yes it sucks when things happen to your R/C, like the chassis bending. But watching this video, I can totally see why something like that would happen. I mean it looks like fun to bash this truck so hard but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if something broke or bent.
Holy f'ing crap. That was an amazing bash. This spot has so much to offer (other than the water). My favourite video of yours I believe.

Looking at purchasing my first Arrma, Kraton or Outkast? Thanks for the time and sharing the videos!!
Which one did u get? Looking at the typhon or kraton...
Unbelievable bashing. I don't even know what else to say. Wow, Vas. Maybe your best stunt vid ever? And that's saying something! This is RC awesomeness defined. 👑👑 👏👏👊🏼👊🏼
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words. So glad you enjoyed it, it makes that breakage well worth it in the end. 😁👍💪🤜🤛
Can you share where this bike track is please? Theres nothing good like this around where i live
Ermmmm that's all that broke? From that height ? Unbelievable. Great video as always. Straight to the point. It would be interesting to see the E-revo or equivalent doing the same jumps to compare.
I don't think Traxxas would want to see how that ends up, lol. Not hating, as I own a handful of TRX stuff. But these massive air launches and imperfect landings would make for a short bash session with a Revo, or even the ridiculously overpriced $1000 "hunk-o-plastic" X-Maxx.
You cant compare traxxas with arrma lol..Traxxas is thrash
Is the X Maxx the only 5th scale RC with self-righting? or can you upgrade any RC to that option?
are you running hardcase batteries? just thinking that all those hard landings must affect the battery?
just watch the vlog al the way to the end... soft case. didn´t think they could take that much beating?
That was an awesome bash!!! Now I have some ideas of how I’m going to treat my Kraton V4 hahaha so far I’ve only installed the chassis braces and it’s held up to my 8yr old with a heavy trigger finger
Nice bash brother much love👊
You have the speed run gear in it on this run didn't it get hot
Epic bash fella 💪 👊. 'Subbed' Great torque on the stock diff oil. Not sure what they use on Kraton centre diff, but don't think it's more than 7k - 10k max.... How long you been running car on the stock diff oil ? Greetings from blighty. 👍🏿
Thanks Jason. My rigs generally stay with the stock oils unless I want a specific type of performance. Thanks for the sub and welcome to the channel. 😊👍
Worth the difference to go v4 if there is a deal on the v3?
Great video dude, I’m only 7yo’s old and would love to learn how to jump like that
Keep practicing, my man, you'll get there. Start small and work your way up. But be warned, mistakes and broken parts are inevitable. It's all part of the learning process. The important thing is that you learn and keep trying to improve. 👍😊
Thanks dude I’m sure my dad won’t mind me braking the car haha it will keep him busy haha
Do you think you could subscribe to my channel please I would love to have you watch as I start to get better
What sort of runtime do you get?
That’s awesome driving mate! Would you recommend this or the e revo 2.0 for a basher?
I haven't owned a E-REVO before, but I deal with them on many occasions through the hobby shop. From what I've seen, the Kraton wins every time.
Thanks for the reply!
Honey, I’m home! So many cars to choose from indeed. But nothing bashes quite like the kraton or outcast. I thought those tires would hook up better. Kinda losing traction? Backflips are cheap and imo best for these cars. Proline mx38s also hook up well and give a lot more rotation for flips. Heavier but they’re fun. Sorry about the body. Def not indestructible eh? Was an awesome bash Vas! A gnarly landing will send any car to the shop. Cheers!
Tyres were fine, but of course there's always better or different if you prefer. For me, these stock tyres work fine, but like you said, a heavier tyre will definitely promote more aggressive backflips. And I think a slight diff tune will also help...
Thanks for watching, man, really appreciate the support. 😊👍
Nice session. I was bashing the skatepark yesterday with my completely built V3 Notorious, and I pulled this streetlight high lazy double (you know the kind when you have so much hang time you can take a second to leave her hanging inverted😉), and their was about 8 sub 12 yo. kids there. After landing, and driving away I here from across the skatepark, "OMG!!! DID YOU SEE HOW HIGH THAT WENT! THAT'S THE KINDA RC CAR I NEED!". Arrma tough kid, Arrma tough!💪💪💪😎
Amazing big air bash with some bonus backety flips and frontery flips lmao nice vas
I’m scared to jump that high. Lol. I be nervous at skate parks 💨
I know you will. Give me a straight answer. For General around messing around no hard bashing or the Mojave?
Thoughts on the 4s 1/10 version of this guy? After looking at lots of RCs a brushless 4s Kraton seems like its a heck of a value. I only currently have a brushed e-maxx so this would be quite an upgrade for me i believe.
Any other $400 ish RCs to consider?
thanx all
that is a Proper Bash Vas!!! what Pinion is on that? it Rips!!!
Nice run dude you beat the hell out of it 👍
what is blk and 4 stand for
What time and date were you at the Altona Stunt Park? I was there on the 25th September 11am - 1:30pm with my Outcast, but I had no where near the Balls to go that big 😂💪
Does any aftermarket company make a wing mount/wheelie bar for the Notorious that doesn’t break the back screws every other run? Bout to sell it, I have an aluminum mount, I’m getting sick of picking broken screws out of the top of the diff case
No disrespect, but stop landing on the wing. I've never broken a wing mount on any of my ARRMA cars and as you can see, I don't exactly go easy on them. Also, an aluminium wing mount is about the worst upgrade you can put on these cars for bashing. That and aluminium a-arms.
But anyway, just my experience with this cars and I can't relate to yours, sorry.
Thanks for watching and the comment though. 👍😊🤜🤛
Vas would I be ok with motor temps running the bigger pinion and bashing? Obviously I don't bash as hard as you so think it will all stay cool enough? Great video buddy. Also did you remove t2t or did you upgrade braces on this v4? I forgot it you said it or not
I show it at the end, you can see under the body. I'm guessing you didn't watch until the end?
@@AussieRCPlayground lol yeah I finally saw it at the end. But also you've never had any heat issues running the bigger pinion and bashing? I'm thinking of throwing it on now after you said that.
No, no heat issues to report using the optional pinion. You're good to go. 😊👍
@@AussieRCPlayground Thanks for the advice brotha!!! Very much appreciated!😁👌👍👍👊
What's the normal motor temperature for arma kranton 6s
Next to a Tekno this has to be the best bang for buck basher on the market rtr or otherwise.
More fun to drive this or outcast 6s or Notorious? Getting one help me out guys please thanks
That was a great bash! Very impressive.
Thank you Graham. 😊👍
Would owners of the v4 Kraton say that it's the most durable yet? If not, what version is the toughest?
OMG!!!! That is for sure insane!
Thank you, brother. Glad you liked it. 😊👍
Love this vid. I just wish Pro Line has option bodies for Arrma 1/10 bashers.
I'm looking for a solid dirt track to go to, where is this track and do you know any other dirt tracks near Ringwood or Box Hill?
This one is in Altona, but unfortunately I don't your area too well to recommend any tracks there. Sorry mate.
Nice run.
Vas I'm a huge Arrma supporter and not a fan of traxxas at all but have you ever considered getting a erevo 2.0? I always wondered how it would fair with guys like you and Rich Duperbash and other big air guys. It's not a coincidence most of the big air guys run Arrma but I've always been curious how it would fair. I'm guessing not too well.
From my experience with the E-REVO 2.0 at the hobby shop I work at, I think it would be lucky to go a full pack without it breaking. And with much less effort. But even if it didn't break, I doubt the motor would last. I've seen nearly every 2.0 we've sold burn out their motors within the first 6 packs and a couple of ESCs with thermal lockouts which can only be reset by TRX.
Aside from all that, I'm not going to pay a grand (they retail for $999aud) for car I know won't last and will need $$$ on upgrades just to be on par with my ARRMA's. I wouldn't give any of my hard earned to that company, anyway, so not gonna ever happen on this channel. Unless someone wants to donate their car for testing or if TRX wants to put their money where their mouth is, they can send me one. But they won't because they know it will fail.
@@AussieRCPlayground I agree 100% Vas with everything you said. Great points. They won't be getting my hard earned money either! Well said!
Where did you get the white body?
Proline have them. 😉
Bad crash. You bet the shock Tower a little bit. And snapped a steering rod. Oh my goodness. I can't believe it and that was a bad bad crash. And you were purposely Just Landing it on the flat many many times. That truck is super amazing tough. Vaz. I don't know if you read all of these. But I have the Sabertooth from HobbyKing. Do you think it would be possible to make one of those plastic cages in the middle of the Creighton screw into my truck. And for my next 8th scale do I go Outcast or. Karton. I also saw your video on Facebook today. About getting the anniversary edition Outkast. You could really feel your emotion and. I just want to tell you that you are one of the guys that really deserves to be given this truck. You have done so much for the hobby. And I just want you to know personally I think that you are definitely and RC God. Legend. right up there with Jimmy Page my brother. Anyways great video you did good job. I hope you get the max X. Buy Traxxas. I think you're going to be seriously disappointed. Doesn't even come with optional high speed gear. Which doesn't make sense. They probably spend about $5 in manufacturing. On the high side to put that on the truck. and when you do you know they're going to crash it so you going to make more money or of broken parts. And it has plastic drive shafts. the best thing about it I think is that they made a really good adapter 17 mm. On a 6 mm shaft. That everybody is probably going to used to make their 10th scale trucks be able to use 17 mm tires. I just watched a up-close video and. Traxxas drop the ball big time. What are your thoughts. I can't wait for you to get the truck and give it the torture test. Anyways love God bless
.vaz. you're the best!
Thank you very much for your kind words, brother. Really appreciate you taking the time to write all that. 🤜🤛
As for the Maxx, no, I won't be getting one. I made a decision a while ago never to get anything from that brand on the channel again after the way they treated and threatened another UA-camr simply because they used the name of one of their trucks in the video title they didn't like. I since sold anything I had from that brand and will never named them again on my channel, so I will not be getting any of their products ever again. Sorry.
Personally, the Maxx truck is very over priced. The truck retails for $550 in the US, which is the same as a 6S Kraton, but over here the 6S Kraton retails for $830 while the Maxx is $985. Huge difference and probably the worst value for money truck on the market today. The E-Revo is $999 and that was already too expensive compared to the Kraton, but now the Maxx truck is next level rip-off. The funny thing is that people will still buy it here simply because of the brand. Nothing to do with quality or durability or speed, it's just because it's from that brand and they'll just buy it. Meh, whatta ya do...?🤷♂️
With that optional 15 tooth pinion does the car motor overheat ever? I’m thinking about doing this to mine. I always run it on pavement or very short grass or light sand like this. What do you think?
Haven't had any heating issues so far, but I guess that might change depending on your style of driving.
How do you get your kraton to wheelie so easy . Im using a 6s 80c lipo with 100 thousand diff fluid in the center and 50k in the front and rear and my punch is set on 4 and I can only wheelie once and a while ? Oh I'm running stock gearing to . Thanks Vas !
.....set your punch on 9 lol
@@gabthefisherman5030 thanks I'll give it a try .
What does the BLX stand for?
Brushless.
wow great test
Rad dude! This makes me want to get the Notorious out
what do you have your punch and brake settings at ?
All stock, my friend. 😊
Good times bash Vas. You're getting launched way up there brother. that triple BF was NUTS 😲🤘👍💪👏👊. And the huge double BF out of the camera angle range was wicked!! Had some great saves on those front flips attempts. Sucks on the breakages.. but the Kraton is one Beastly of a truck. Hats off to Arrma!! The Proline bash armor body was a bust!! It's also known to take out body post due to its weight on hard bashing. I prefer ProBodyRC unbreakable body ( ua-cam.com/video/npy8rzWYDi4/v-deo.html ) Lite weight and does the job better IMHO. Awesome bash brother.
Thank you very much. Yeah, the Kraton took some effort before it caved in, but it's already fixed and ready for more. Only part I broke was the steering link, but I later found I also snapped a screw inside the GKA front chassis brace and that will take some work to fix (if I can fix it). Now I just need to either patch or replace the body and wait for a nice to go again. 💪😁👍
My kraton v4 broke the sterring link the same place!
Insane Jumps✌️
Awesome jumps 🤟 How about some markhor towers 😜
Thanks heaps for the support. 😊👍
I just hammered the tower back into shape and the car is good to go again. Took me 10min and saved myself the money. Considering I land on my feet most of the time, I'm happy to take my chances with the stock towers. Stronger towers will just transfer the impact down the line and the bulkheads could snap as a result. Rather have a bent tower I can straighten then a broken bulkhead I need to replace.
@@AussieRCPlayground that is all true. I have hammered my kraton towers back to straight propably three times. Its an easy fix and doesnt cost anything 👍 Some time ago i bought scorchedrc titanium towers but i have not put those in yet.
Jeezus Vas you slammed that sucker into the ground!. What brand battery?
NXE. It's not a bad battery, but it also took a bit of a beating that day and lived to tell the tale. 😁💪
Arrma tough baby!
Continue comme ça ça fais plaisir ;)
Love it ,it really takes a bash 👍🏻
Yes it sucks when things happen to your R/C, like the chassis bending. But watching this video, I can totally see why something like that would happen. I mean it looks like fun to bash this truck so hard but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if something broke or bent.
Maybe one day i can get one of this..
For now i will try to buy an zd racing :(
Hi friend.did you buy a zd racing 9021v3 truggy?
Exzellent driving 😁
Mad skills
6:34 Tumble wumble!
