HELL YEAH GUY!!! 👍🏼💯🔥🚀 One of my favorite bashers.... Well balanced w/plenty of air control & perfect wide foot print...👍🏼💯 With a little TLC, it has the potential to be an amazing RC. In my opinion 😊
I was never into these big type of RC’s but bro, because of you I’m now looking at the kraton, big rock and the vrt. Awesome stuff. Watching all the way from Southern California.
The servo saver is the weak point in the steering, replace it with a adjustable one from the exb or an after market one, there is plenty available for this truck
After the tirst two servos failed... I went to the top shelf and put in a Savox 2290. And I did the snap ring trick to tighten the servo saver up. Took the stock tires off and went to DBoots Back Flip. 50T aluminum center diff along with some other upgrades and its not bad.
The servo saver needs upgraded.I put tracks on my 6s over a year ago and kinda miss doing standing back flips with it. But it steering was so bad I was done with it.
I came here because of the title trying to discourage me from buying one. Now I'm mad after seeing this and bought one! I think this guy works for Arrma. Nice commercial :)
The thing really has some weak points, I've improved a lot in the meantime, but the problem with the diffs at the front and rear still exists! The ring gears keep breaking! and the problem with the steering is due to the servo saver, I tuned the spring a little harder with a few washers and now it steers properly - it's not the fault of the servo!
I also have those front and rear diff problems with 2 of my arrmas..but it's not my ring gears but the diff gears themselves keep wearing down. Just today my Kraton 6s did a few somersaults then started making a large scratching noise from the rear diff..either the gear stripped or became dislodged from the ring gear somehow
@@rogerrabbit7469 In my opinion, 6s are simply too much power for the diffs and the wheels are too heavy. This means that a lot of power is put into a very small point in the diff, which means that it eats its teeth, I now plan to only drive with 4s!
@@bygun5329 "by George I think I got it" now that you mention that I when reduced the throttle to 75% (which is similar to running 4s) I didnt hear the scratching stress noise from the rear diff. I don't think any of these arrma 6s are designed for 6s power. Now I gotta open up the rear diff again and make sure its seated properly and the teeth are not worn out
@@rogerrabbit7469 you just right buddy,i don’t no why? but the talion had no issues at all! i swapt the wheels with backflips lp from outcast 4s and they works awesome!
Nice rip. Looks like it transforms into a plane mid air then back to a truck for the landing. Super fun to watch. That vibration was weird. Thanks guy👍✌🏼
@@jamesm2698 tighten up the center diff meaning tune it with a little bit of a thicker fluid to stop the front from a ballooning is what I'm assuming I was getting at. This video is old
The steering issue you’re having is because of the servo saver. Throw 3/4 C clips on the servo saver’s spring and you’ll be golden. Also looks like your end points are set a bit too far: there’s actually a bump stop on the steering.
I only have the 4s Kraton. But it jumps well. I've driven the 6s V5 a few times and it has good air control but it's easy to over correct sometimes!! They do fly pretty straight and flat for the most part though! 👍🤙💯
@@rcguygarage MASHITY FOR SURE. They are selling more Shredder shocks, because people use them on the MASHITY. The only monster truck they had they discounted, the Landslide. Their 20% off sale was a disaster.
Hi mate yeah the standard shock towers are soft but ive broken a few EXB and 7075 shock towers. Until i put two standard shock towers together with some modification and if i have a hard crash they bend but can be bent back and all good. And a third of the price and that's buying two standard shock tower's. I love my kraton's that much I've got two of them and one runs 1250kv motor max 6 esc and on 8s it's a animal 👌 😂🤪🤣🤣🤣.
@@rcguygarageadd some c clips Guy and you’ll be swinging those arms all over the place with more conviction 😁 Even a fast servo on stock saver will be not much better 🙁
@@rcguygarage while your there doing the c clips also check to see if they have bearings on the steering posts Some say they’re fine for bashing and some prefer to have 4 less points of possible binding due to constant bashing😳 🫵🏿 decide Guy
Good bash 👌 i put 1mil in my centre diff but i like to send it high and do more stunts. 500k is the sweet spot for all round bashing and full throttle action
@@rcguygarage you'll love the truck more and more after each use in the right way I love mine. Putting a few c-clips between the servo spring is a nice mod for the steering aswell
Im a outcast 6s exb kinda guy. A tricksta😂 but i like running on 4s to save diff long-term longevity. Every now and then she gets the big 8000 100c 3s basher packs to make 6s.
Yes I have 2 of them👍💯 the original one where the diff blew out and had to wait over 6 months for warranty and that was I think 1.5 packs. That just added to my DESPISE of the Kraton line
I have a v3 kraton that i beat the tar out of and never had those issues. Its totally upgraded now, but only after repeated moon sends breaking parts. Thats on me. Guy, i love ya. Been a subscriber for a long time. I value your opinion on all things rc. But your driving skills have not improved in all the years ive been following you 😂
So the servo you swapped itself is the issue? On my Maxx v2 the servo saver acted up, giving full swing of the servo but the saver was „catching“ all the action making it impossible to turn the car.

@@earlmoorhead5555 I respect you both and subscribe to both channels, but you're quibbling.

You can lower the collars and raise that ride height just like the others...
I would think the towers in the regular Kraton would be made out of the same aluminum alloy as the Big Rock and Fireteam towers. Perhaps it is just the additional body structure on those other RCs that minimize impacts to the towers. I think the EXB tower will work out well for you. Shock mounts could start becoming an issue though.
Yes the handful of original issues I had with this thing caused me to not like the Kraton line and honestly sometimes that's all it takes.OTB the receiver, servo and then the towers were junk. And this thing was NEW.
Kraton is one of my favorite rigs it has a wheelbase that performs well on the ground and in the air.only arrma rig that jumps better is the typhon but it sucks off road🤪that must of been a important phone call you never came back😂
@@rcguygarage same but i didnt run mine. I put the front exb diff in the rear and a blx diff in the front. The blx diff was just terrible. Maybe because i nose landed quite a bit by how hard i was running it. Then i got the lsd plates and put the exb diff back in
not my favorite eighter but it does fly like an eagle in the right hands (cough cough, RCdude81, Duperbash) LOL they are only truly good fully modded out.

Yeah, never been a fan the Kraton, I just don't care for my bashers to have such low clearance. I'm sure it's great on relatively smooth surfaces but I like high clearance for bumps and rocks! Great video brother 💯 🤜 🤛
yea armma , pay big bucks and then big bucks to upgrade. keeps mc2 in buis, great for them. i quit buying arma , will buy them off ebay or rc groups for cheap. and will never buy a so called new version , let everyone else test them. not good when you have just a arma cc maxed out , and my corraly 's maybe 2 parts bought in a year. but they all break ,doesn't matter. get them right and there good rc's

it’s the junk v5 servo saver u can adjust it using c clips under spring plate

See Guy how this drives with one Red Shock Tower. Just imagine changing rear to Red one. Smiles for miles. Send it Guy 👍

Nice bash spot and some sick air there, Guy!
It was definitely fun for sure
I just picked up a K6 v5 and im loving it. Put 18t pinion in and the thing will not stay on the ground.
Out of curiosity, would you consider this your normal driving situation for the Kraton? Also, have you had any problems with your diffs?

I second that. I have done it my self. Or you can get the new Kraton exb rtr, adjustable servo saver included 😉

Rubber, they were blocked at the rim
the little wiggle they do ive named the jack sparrow wheelie
