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.

Baught from LHS. HobbyTown in NLR Arkansas is the best. Oh and the Kraton is great. I have its cousin the notorious 6s v4. The notorious needs a valium to settle it down as it likes to break dance whe the kraton stays planted a lil more with the longe chassis. Thank you Hobbytown for being there when I need an impulse buy. Maybe I need to have the notorious share before I come into your store. ????

First RC Car and I love it. It's fast, wide and low which keeps me from tipping over too often. I take pretty tight turns at speeds and just slip right through the corners like a greased biscuit on a hot pan! It was pretty intuitive to pick up right from the start and I have enjoyed the heck out of myself every time I have taken her out. 10/10 would order again!

This truck is amazing!!! If you want a truck that you can bash, speed run, etc this is the truck for you. I think Arrma did an amazing job on making parts better(servo) but all an all just a great fun truck to own. I’ll be looking in to get the outcast next an extending my collection of RC with more Arrma,s. So there you go get one an have a blast with this RTR truck.

Arrma Kraton 6S BLX RTR 1/8 4WD Brushless Monster Truck (Red) (V5)
I have owned a couple of rc cars over the years and this is probably my favorite the way it handles is unreal it jumps really well in the air and you can wheelie it for miles and it's really tough.


But it does have 3 weaknesses number one the diffs are way too small for this truck it's mostly the internals but they are too small the spur gear is ok but it could be better. The screws on this think are mostly M3 I wish they used more M4 screws and the electronics I killed every one within a week .The receiver gave my kraton a run away for a 18 pound truck to have a runaway is scary luckily no was hurt Besides that .I beat this truck jumping it 30-60 feet in the air never bent the chassis great truck but the diffs the electronics and screws aren't the greatest.

This is my first rc product since I was a kid. Nice truck & really quick. It has taken me a few runs to get familiar with it. The only reason I give the Kraton a 4 star is because of the battery tray. Im running 2 3s lipo’s and it a little annoying fumbling around with the straps. But this is just my pet peave. Great truck all in all. Buying an infraction next. Thanks hobby town!!

Wow!!! This thing rock. I'm no expert in bashing but this feels solid. Strapped on a 6S and it wheelies. There's no taming this beast. More than I expected.

Arrma Kraton 6S BLX RTR 1/8 4WD Brushless Monster Truck (Red) (V5)
Wanted to like this 1/8 scale basher. But debating on throwing it in the dumpster.
Looked pretty promising at first more adjustability than traxxas models.
I liked it at first look because it appeared to have adjustability like my older model MP9 TKI3.
Unfortunately when doing preliminary inspections (Shimming diffs, checking shocks assemblies) there were quality control issues.

1st off I don't expect this model to compare to my Kyosho and Mugen cars but I do have the experience in assembling kits.
The set screw in the rear input drive cup was rounded out found it that way before sticking anything in there but worked at it anyway as it needed to get done. So instead of waiting for a reply for possible replacement I choose to go to the local hobby store to get the replacement parts myself. 70 dollars or so to get a new pinion, diff housing bulkhead, and bearings.

Second issue was the rear shocks, not sure if the front shocks will have the same issue. I heard a lot of air bubbles when actuating the shocks so planned to re-oil them. I needed pliers and cresent wrench to remove the oring retainer on the bottom of the shocks only to find that what appeared to be locktite. I mean who puts loctite there? Ridiculous!!

Sure this is a Basher but when this vehicle hasn't even been power on yet it get aggrevating. Now my question to myself is should I spend the money to replace the gouged up and ruined shocks or dump the car. At this point I'm banging my head against the wall knowing I could have upgraded to the latest model mp10 TKI 2 for cheaper.

This model is not worth it.

Arrma Kraton 6S BLX RTR 1/8 4WD Brushless Monster Truck (Red) (V5)
Very disappointed in this purchase. Didn’t last 15min on brand new lipo battery’s. The motor overheated and burnt up after only 15min run time. The radio is very laggy and doesn’t let you get very far away. For the price I was expecting a bad to the bone basher I can drive hard and beat up but wasn’t even able to drain my dual 3s lipos
