I got mine a few days ago, Ive put 2 packs through it and it is by FAR the best Arrma ever made for sure! I threw a Tekno M5 Hardened Steel 14-Tooth Pinion gear on it as well as 300,000 CST Center diff fluid tuned the ESC with proper programming. I also picked up an 18-Tooth pinion for speed running. I think 14-Teeth is the best overall gearing for the stock motor - as you saw its very fast out of the box and really the factory 13-tooth is more than enough, but I felt the slight increase in wheel speed with the 14-tooth makes it spot-on and a blast to drive.
Another Great Video Bro! I just ordered mine. It’s been on back order for 5 weeks now…lol. It looks like it’ll be worth the wait. I also ordered a Felony, and SBR 2.0 that already came. So I’m not without an RC. Plus I already had a TLR tuned Typhon. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for doing that you do. I appreciate you my man! Keep up the great work!
I saw the intro and it flip and slide on the roof on that beautiful body even though there will be many tumbles and scratches cause it’s a Basher that first one always hurt can’t wait to see this super speed Saturday happy holidays jt
JayTee I would love to see it on 18t pinion. I be interested to see if the front end stays down and how the electronic hold up. I would be scared to run a 20t pinion. 😂
Everything about this is impressive. The upgrade parts, the design updates addressing gripes on prior versions, the speed on the out-of-the-box "basher" gearing. ARRMA was smart to crack these open before shipping them out to update the firmware so it doesn't get the stained by the ESC issue seen in the Big Rock release. Reviews for this beast should be pretty clean for the most part...except for perhaps the inevitable landing on the wheel in the worst possible way to break a driveshaft...or something along those lines! Does not look like they would be leaving me much left to upgrade...other than perhaps the A/B/C/D suspension blocks and I would probably do aluminum rear hub carriers. Perhaps I would also still do the servo at some point but the stock one doesn't seem too shabby.
Not sure if you were able to fix the issue with the truck cutting out or not. Despite performing the update properly both of mine are still cutting out. I can't imagine I am the only one with this issue. Especially since two new vechiles are doing the same damn thing and it is maddening. Should have saved money and gotten the Kagama which has a significantly better esc and motor to begin with. The scale body of the Big Rock lured me in but probably could have fous something after-market that would have more than done the job.
I got this truck preordered to when it was first out. Best Kraton they have made and a must have in a collection I wonder when we might see or if we will see a updated Talion exb or Outcast/Notorious exb type truck. We are April now! Mabey a summer time release? What you think Jay?
Man I want one sooo bad. Went to order it and got called a couple days later and was told order got canceled. Not sure why? I wish I could just go pick one up or order off Amazon.
That is the best way to build a car. Listen to the people that upgrade them listen to to the people that run them to the limits. And then use that to better your product simple as that arm does it track system does not and I have many arms and many Traxxas and it’s just the way I feel.
Pinion test….. as always great videos man is their anyway you can put the part numbers in comments for the lipos your running bud really appreciate it in advance….
I'm looking foward purchasing thos in two weeks after I worked 25th and bout work the first of January 2024 I think my money going somewhere ill totally have fun with 😊 do you think $750 will do ?
I believe that Kraton might be my next truth, I just got my 1st rc and it's a Infraction 6s,but I haven't got a chance to run it because being a newbie I brought the wrong 3s smart batteries and got the ones for an airplane or helicopter, now I can't send them back because that's Horizons policy so I have to wait for some more money to get the right ones 😂
Got mine from Horizon Hobby on Sunday!! Merry Christmas to me!!
nice!!!!
Yes we need to see the test with all 3 pionins

They always look so nice when they are brand new.
Yes

I think that's the same controller i got with the SCX6. I like the battery level display with the spectrum batteries.
I don't own a arrma but this truck is amazing the design the detailing with the anodizing reminds me of a expensive watch ...wow
yes it does
had no idea how big that was till u put your hand next to the tire. wow !@@JayTeeRC
i'll be hunting for those outdrives and bulkheads for my exb kraton!! upvoted!!
Great video as always....from your first experience with this and the new big rock...which one would you like and recommend...
Awesome brother awesome👍🏾👍🏾
Cool new truck!
Def wanna see with the taller pinion..Thanks for the upload.
Great job JayTee
How does this Kraton 6s exb v2 rtr compare to the Kraton 8s exb v2?
the 8s is much larger (1/5 vs 1/8 scale) but it looks very nice as well, it got a better servo too

Nice yes I would like to see the bigger pinion

Nice video as always!!! Jaytee, u dont think the stock motor can size is a bit small for a rig this size/weight ?
Hi,
The heatsink also allows two fans to be mounted as well.
Looks very nice, but i wish they would also sell the EXB models without the electronics like they used to when they first came out.
Is the Team Corally Kronos still faster out the box??
I'm wondering the same thing...if these Spektrum v2 ESCs have closed the gap on power compared to the ESCs Team Corally puts in their RCs.
Yep yep yep AND CHEAPER
Looks cool in these new colors🎉bet its a monster on grass/gravel💥🥂it would also be cool to see a typhon 6s exb upgrade soon!
Hey, what’s that gps that everyone is using? Can’t seem to find it anywhere😅
see link

If i want to run my futaba radio would it be easy to switch the receivers out?
yes
@@JayTeeRC thanks for the quick response. You have a subscribe from me. Where are you from? Im from Wisconsin

We probably will plus we'll see their 3s models with Center diff coming soon as well
@@JayTeeRC nice that will be cool the 3S lineup. And ya I’d love to get a Outcast or Notorious truck updated.
Man I want one sooo bad. Went to order it and got called a couple days later and was told order got canceled. Not sure why? I wish I could just go pick one up or order off Amazon.
Hey bro love the channel I'm stuck in between this and the kagama if you had to pick one which would you pick. Keep the vids coming..
May get a kagama if u can hold out for a few days

MY WIFE got me one of those for Christmas I crashed into a wooden sign and broke the sign but my RC car was fine. Things are beast.
Very nice 😊
Pinion test….. as always great videos man is their anyway you can put the part numbers in comments for the lipos your running bud really appreciate it in advance….

That thing needs some body sliders on it it doesn't have any protection
ikr
Pinion test, please sir
more looking forward towards the mojave v2 exb
How can I win a rc truck or car from you
Looks ok but I’d prefer rollers don’t want to use spectrum electronics I have the first EXB it’s a good basher all in all
there's no way to improve that truck but, maybe...
YOU SOOOOO slow 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Chantal 😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
