The Arrma Kraton 6S BLX RTR 1/8 4WD Brushless Monster Truck V5 is driven by an updated, 6S-capable power system and supported by a strengthened chassis design. The Kraton 6S BLX 4WD Speed Monster Truck is ready out of the box to reach incredible speeds for thrilling, all-terrain bashing.

ARRMA engineers have outfitted the KRATON 6S BLX 4WD with a brushless power system that now features the Spektrum Firma 150A Smart ESC and Firma 2050Kv brushless motor. The combination delivers incredible torque, acceleration and speed. Heavy-duty aluminum and steel chassis and transmission components take it all in its stride. For improved steering, ARRMA also includes a steel gear Spektrum S652 Digital Servo which is 32% stronger and 5% faster than the previous version's ADS-15M servo. Add your favorite 4S or 6S LiPo battery and watch this monster truck smash your speed expectations — up to 60+ MPH in optimum conditions with a 6S LiPo battery and the included optional speed pinion gear.

The ready-to-run package now also includes a 3-channel Spektrum SLT3 radio and Spektrum SR315 dual protocol receiver. Perfect for long hours of fatigue-free bashing, the transmitter's ergonomic design features a foam steering wheel for precise fingertip control and an improved hand grip and trigger feel. If you're a new driver, you'll be able to set throttle limits at 50% or 75% until you're ready to use the full speed potential. The SLT3 is compatible with Tactic SLT receivers to run other RTR vehicles you may own, and includes a third channel to control optional features such as lights and winches on models that have them. Because the SR315 receiver can use SLT and DSMR protocols, you can easily upgrade to a Spektrum DSMR transmitter later — then, download the free Spektrum Dashboard app for your mobile device and take full advantage of the Smart telemetry capabilities already present in the Firma electronics. You'll be able to receive real-time updates of ESC temperature, receiver (BEC) voltage, drive pack voltage and motor RPM.

Arrma Kraton 6S BLX RTR 1/8 4WD Brushless Monster Truck (Blue) (V5)
Received the Kraton 6s V5 about a week ago. Ran the truck for about 3hrs now. On 6s it's really fast and fun to bash and seems pretty durable. The only issue I had was the grub screw on the pinion gear backed out and the pinion slipped off the diff gear. Luckily the e-clip retained the pinion on the shaft and the grub screw didn't come completely out. I would suggest a little blue thread lock before running the truck.

It a great vehicle. Much like any rc you have to do your due diligence before you run it the first time. Check every screw, check for grease and oil in the shocks, etc. Then again after you run it each time. The Kraton is very stable. It doesn’t do out of control wheelies or get squirrelly at high speeds. It is very stable in the sir and had a nice low center of gravity. I definitely recommend this vehicle over the competition.

Most of the parts on the Kraton EXB are included on the V5. The EXB is built off the V5 so it gets all these improvements. There are the obvious upgrades but much, much more is similar than different. Open the owners manual and check the part numbers. I'm adding the front/rear support braces for $25. and running it like that for awhile. Super capable and fun!!!

This BLX 6s Kraton truck was good for the first month and now the whole thing is starting to fall apart, I have put more money into this thing than if I would have just bought the EXB in first place. Not sure how much better the EXB is but I definitely would not buy this BLX again.

Arrma Kraton 6S BLX RTR 1/8 4WD Brushless Monster Truck (Blue) (V5)
Awesome truck i pulled all the spektrum electronics and installed a Hobbywing max8g2 esc and a 2250kv motor combo. With a futaba radio and servo. Running gens ace redline 4s lipo even on 4s has plenty of speed and power for me. Who knows I may throw a 6s pack in it someday. I was looking for a great set up for smaller areas and 4s is just right for that. I’m not a basher so I don’t need a land rocket. The truck itself is a tank, excellent construction the open design of the chassis let’s all the debris exit instead of collecting. Defiantly a keeper.
Thanks A main for the excellent service.

Arrma Kraton 6S BLX RTR 1/8 4WD Brushless Monster Truck (Blue) (V5)
Love my Kraton 6s, she's a beast and takes a beating like none of my other trucks. The only thing is, if you don't get the EXB 'Extreme Bash' model you'll HAVE to upgrade alot of components to give your kraton the strength it needs for 6s madness. I upgraded my entire Kraton with M2C, Basherqueen and EXB parts. Shock towers, cnc braces, upgraded steering servo would be my 1st immediate upgrades. The steering servo is just horrible but I never planned on keeping the Spektrum so now with a Monster Perfect Pass Servo I get full steering power in all conditions. I love this truck, it's fast as hell, I've geared it up to 75mph with the stock motor. It's durable once you upgrade the necessary pieces. All the 6S BLX parts are interchangeable for the most part so you can get spare parts very easily. For the price of $550 I say it's definitely worth it. Not overly large like a 1:5 but it's beefy enough to make you feel like you're controlling a 'real' RC and not some Amazon toy.

I love my K6S, it's the best of both worlds when it comes to speed and off-road capabilities. Easy to work on as well and plenty of upgrades. I would highly recommend this to anyone

This vehicle lasted 3 weeks. It will not even turn on. $588 for something to last such a short time. Of course I get no response from AMain Hobby or Horizon Hobby. They know there is a problem with the ESC. Do not buy this product.

Junk! started falling apart after 2 mins of use, pins and screws falling out, loose screws and bolts all over...got jerked around by Horizon and Amain says they are only authorized to replace parts...how about replacing everything but the body...this thing is a turd and terrible customer service from Horizon and Amain....they seem to not care. $500+ of junk!
