ARRMA RC Truck 1/8 KRATON 6S V5 4WD BLX Speed Monster RC Truck with Spektrum Firma RTR (Transmitter and Receiver Included, Batteries and Charger Required), Blue, ARA8608V5T2

This truck is powerful, fast, and durable! The rugged tires handle any terrain, and the suspension ensures smooth rides. Perfect for off-road fun. Just remember to get batteries and a charger separately. Highly recommended!

5 plus stars, i had purchased a hosim vexaro a week ago, literally 5 runs, shattered lexan body, and completely stripped gears , what a joke, got my Kraton v5 6s today, and multiple runs and omg, what a strong basher, solid and built to be beat on! Great design armma! Thanks for the fun, the days in the 90s with Tamiya Blackfoot and Clodbuster, and associated rc10l don't even have an ounce of comparison to this artistic gem!!!! Buy it , heck, buy 2!!! ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

This was one of the best decisions I've ever made lol! Wife wasn't mad either, she actually wants her own lol.. Anyways, if ur in the market to get one, don't hesitate and just purchase it, you wont regret it at all!!! It's fast AF!!! Great basher!

First of all, THIS THING IS A BEAST! Watching the Amazon delivery guy carrying this huge box up my driveway brought a grin to my face like a 5 year old kid!First I’ll point out the absolute uncalled for oversights on an RC car of this caliber/price point. EVERY SINGLE BOLT AND NUT WAS LOOSE! front wheel nut was literally about to fall off. I went through and tightened everything right out if the box and literally every single bolt and screw was loose.And with all the issues reported of steering servos frying out, it’s absolutely unbelievable that there’s nothing in the manual about setting the servo end point adjustment! This thing was set WAY TOO HIGH putting unnecessary strain on the servo, I went through and readjusted following a YouTube video on how to do it.No included front bumper or wheelie bar is kind of a punch in the gut when shelling out this much cash on an RC. I mean seriously, how much would it have possibly cost them to include these two plastic parts!? Petty stinginess imo to make the customer have to go out and buy these parts that should be standard equipment on the truck.Also, there’s a lot of people complaining about turning radius being terrible but I haven’t had any issues, in fact I was driving It in the tight confines of my backyard making turns just fine manipulating the brake to help aid digging into a tight turn.I’ll update this review as time goes on but initial impressions are great. This thing absolutely rips right out of the box! My street in under construction at the moment which is perfect timing to have this truck. I’m having a blast ripping up and down the street. This thing makes some serious noise at WOT and with the loud tires resonating at speed, it’s impossible not to have a grin from ear to ear while driving this thing. I’d hate to get hit in the shins by this thing at WOT. Probably take a leg clean off! This thing is definitely not a toy and could cause some MAJOR damage to people, pets, property etc adult supervision mandatory

I've been running my Kraton 6S for about two weeks now, and it's finally been upgraded/repaired out of the box to the point where I finally like it. I own 10+ RCs so I would say my experience is intermediate, a 50mph basher feels right at home for me. The list of pros about this truck is very long, as it should be for a $560 basher. However, there are several cons as well which shouldn't exist at this price point, let alone any hobby grade RC, which I'll get to.Pros:* 6S power. Hits 50+mph right out of the box. It will wheelie and flip onto its lid if you mash the throttle.* All terrain basher. 1/8 size with chonker tires and 3+ inches of ground clearance means you can drive this anywhere.* Durable. I've crashed head first a couple times with no broken parts so far.* Very stable. Long, wide, and relatively low center of gravity make this really easy to drive and controllable at any speed.* Sway bars included. This prevents the truck from rolling over during hard turns, unless you intentionally want to flip it.* Programmable ESC. You can set the punch and brake settings.* Lots of features on the radio, such as throttle limit (50/75/100), servo endpoints, and steering rate.* Big battery tray with velco straps. This makes it easy to use a wide range of battery sizes.* Relatively easy to work on and modular design. Although I haven't taken the truck apart yet to work on it, it doesn't look too difficult.Cons:* Screws are set with red threadlocker from the factory. This makes it a HUGE pain to take apart and do basic maintenance/repair. Why would Arrma do this? Why not just use blue threadlocker?* Servo saver is way too flexible, nonadjustable, and red threadlocked together. This causes the steering to be extremely sloppy out of the box, leading to a huge turning radius on hard cornering or when driving offroad, since every little bump will cause the servo saver to flex and the wheels to straighten out again. This is a V4 and V5 issue, the previous Kratons did not have this design.* Servo not centered and endpoints not set from the factory. This is just laziness, and the not set endpoints have been leading to tons of failed servos only a few runs in.* Spektrum servo is crap. Mine died after two runs, although I suspect it could have been because I didn't set the endpoints first.* Spektrum Firma motor runs HOT. On a 40 degree day after 30 minutes of running on 6S, my motor was at 170 degrees, which is the absolute limit the motor should be running at. If it was a 70 degree day, the motor would've been well into the 200+ degree range and I'd have a fried motor.Recommended out of the box upgrades/repairs:* Set the servo endpoints.* Add shims to the servo saver spring to tighten the steering.* Get a heatsink and fan for the motor.* Add a wheelie bar.Don't get me wrong, I really like the Kraton so far. At 50mph it's really controllable and stable, which is saying a lot. Most of my trucks are 1/10th scale and once they get past 40mph they become wild and uncontrollable, and they get bumped around by rough terrain due to their smaller scale. The Kraton is easy to drive at any speed on any terrain (once you fix the sloppy steering), tough, and easy to work on.
