Most broken parts on this RC since its release (from what I’ve seen).
From what I have seen too
Well when I’m jumping usually I am thinking about where the car will land and I don’t face the ramp towards a tree so that usually doesn’t happen. In my defense it was a brand new car and I didn’t know it’s power because it was the first bash. At least it made a funny video🤷♂️
My Kraton 4s arrives tomorrow. Thanks for showing me what not to do to it!
Thanks for learning from my mistakes 😉
So you lined your ramp up with a huge tree and expected what to happen😂❤
Hey in my defense it was my first or second run with the car and I didn’t expect it to jump that far😂
@traxrc true 👍, that ramp is not an Up ramp it's an OUT RAMP!🤣
Sorry for your loss buddy but that was the best review video ever!!! Lol I'm picking one up tomorrow and look for some trees!
10/10 would not recommend tree hunting with the Kraton 4S lol.
I got mine today and already slammed against a wall, a fence and a big garbage bin! The Kraton is stupid fast and fun! Lol
My tip is don’t hit trees at 40mph with rc cars😂😂😂
thanks for the advice... I'll be sure to aim for the grass next time.
@@traxrc 😂
I've hit shit with my Traxxas Maxx even hit posts at almost full spead have cracked a chassis never broke in half Traxxas makes better plastic chassis especially in the 4s range but for anything bigger arrma is better
While I think that Arrma chassis plastics aren’t the strongest, I do think that not all bigger Arrmas are strong, unless it is an EXB version.
No worries man. I did the same thing to a big rock. I just wasn't in the air. When you've been in this hobby long enough, it's inevitable that you will eventually screw up and wreck something hard. I wrecked a brand new 8s boat into an overflow pipe in the middle of a lake and it was totaled. First run. Done. The hull split down the middle. I gutted the electronics and stuck them in a custom Fiberglass boat someone had for sale online. Now it's the fastest boat I own. Just keep with it and don't be afraid to screw up. After all, it's just a hobby.
I laughed, I cried, I f#@kin" near pissed myself. Dude! Right Fkin on!
You sir get the Like and Share, with a Subscribe and Bell ta boot.
The chassis and center brace should be the only hard parts to find, all others can be replaced with parts from any of the 3S/4S lines.
Well done sir.
Haha I laughed just reading your comment!! My jaw drops every time I rewatch the crash lol. Thanks for the sun brotha 👍. The chassis was actually in stock to my surprise. The only parts on back order is the center brace rod ends and the radio box.
Spot on😂
Best comment😂
@@RealRcbasher 💯
Just saw this and I can top you. My V1 Kraton was going full bore and I hit a Park swing set pole. I watched it explode the whole front end was gone the ESC was trash, it took me 15 minutes to find the left front wheel assembly, I jammed the drive shaft into the slipper clutch. After I took it, well what was left of it to my Hobby Shop and ordered parts cost me 150 it was my first rebuild. Then I kept finding more problems as I went, ended up taking me 3 months to get all the parts and get it back together. I now have the V1 and V2 and still bash hard, just smarter. Sorry for the disaster but I know the pain you felt.
That’s awesome😂 It was no big deal fixing mine I knew what I needed and ordered everything 10 minutes after I broke it. The worst thing was waiting for the parts to come in cuz I needed more content😂
U could here the chassis smack the tree so hard!
It’s honestly violent in video. You could hear it break. Didn’t sound as bad in person imo
@@traxrc well we also didn’t know what happened at first!
Yeah I was hoping for the best lol.
LOL ITS SO IRONIC!!! At the end you said see you guys in the next video and hopefully I won’t break another chassis!!! Everyone just wait and watch😂😂😂
I meant not break another one on this car, but I clearly didn't specify enough lol. I was honestly depressed when I broke the other chassis on the other car too.
@@traxrc so true I mean you couldn’t stop saying two??? Two???
@@RealRcbasher honestly I was just upset that I broke 2 in a day when I’ve never actually broke one before
@@traxrc so true
I’m still buying one of these for my next ride lol. Love your videos dood! Just got my first rc car recently since I was a kid it’s so much fun.
I love my Kraton 4S, you’ll love it too. It’s a great RC. Just was a dumb situation I went through lol
@@traxrc that’s was so gnarly tho. Seems like you are pretty good at fixing these things. Can’t wait to see it all fixed up and back running again.
Ya I've had my fair share of breaking things lol. Usually my other bashers break every run so that fact that the Kraton broke on the 4th is a win in my book, even though it was 100% my fault. I'm going to make a video on fixing it so stay tuned!
Dang bro!!!! I think just getting a new one would be cheaper and pilfer the wasted one for parts if any are left!!! If they warrantied it, that would be crazy!!! I will say I didn't think it would hit the tree like that, awesome!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
A new one would cost $518 again, so $418 more than just buying the broken parts. I think imma stick with just fixing it lol. I broke the chassis on my buddys truck the same day so I have to pay for that too 😂. And I’m omw to check out a set of mud tires for my Jeep rn so that’s gonna be $800 haha
@@traxrc Epic breakage!!! At least it wasn't your full size!!! What tires are you getting?
Ya Frrrr. The ones I’m going to look at are 33x12.5r15 Mickey Thompson Deegan 38 on 15x10 procomp rims. Biggest thing is that there is a spare. It’s been a struggle find a set of mud terrains on decent wheels with a spare.
Hey if @ARRMA RC sees his video then maybe they can do something…
@@RealRcbasher lol that would be nice.
Hello warranty department? Yeah I blasted it per your slogan and there was only one tree in the lot so…
Tough one man. That was brutal.
Lol! It was violent.
LOLOL
Edit that would be funny😂
frrr
Damn I just had surgery to repair a complete torn rotator cuff and bicep damage and I just took to pain killers watching this video. Rebuild better, stronger and faster. 4S Million Dollar RC
😂😂 I’m going to work on rebuilding tomorrow, so video will be live Saturday or Sunday. Hopefully you have a speedy recovery 🙏
awww pooooop. was hopin' she'd hang in there. oh my gosh the ONLY tree in the field and you made a line drive for it.🤦♂ my virgin bash with the v2 was yesterday and i had a BLAST!. no breakage. just a lost CVD pin. fixed her right up and we were back in business. footage tomorrow!
For a second I thought it would be fine then as I walked towards it I knew it was done. I surprised that I haven’t had CVD issues. Seems like more and more people are. Someone will come out with a better design in the aftermarket hopefully.
Great video man! We're both members of RCs vs Trees Club!! 🤣 We're both 0-2 🤙🏾 My Serpent 811te back flipped into tree & buddies channel got it on video 😆 Broke A arm & outer aluminum brace..... worse thing was I rushed out to bash that day and didn't install T-Bone bumper..probably would have saved it 😆 About same distance too, I prefer to stand behind ramp for better approach angles. I was standing in front & to side---ergo, terrible run up angle
The trees did us dirty for sure! I’ve been driving RCs for so long that where I stand doesn’t matter most of the time. It is definitely easier to stand behind it though, but for filming purposes, it’s better to stand next to it so you guys can see the action.
Lol! Congratulations 🍾🎊🎉
thanks lol
That was awesome! Oncor.
Thanks! Not planned but it worked out ig lol
This why I'd get the Arrma Kraton 6s tons of less issues only issue is arms that might break but never the chassi. You can get the M2C 5mm chassi and it's stupid strong you can also get rpm arms for it too but at the end of the day the parts and upgrades is the big issue to all RC cars if they aren't so reliable to fix
They both have issues and u need parts for both tbh
Ouch, dude there's like a whole field and one tree there and you managed to hit it LOL. I'm still going to buy one though just not going to run it into trees.
P.S I got you bro watched all your ads and click on one lol
Your the man 🤙🤙
Damm dude, slapped that tree like a red-headed stepchild.
Haha right 😂😂
It was SENT, and there was much rejoicing.
💯💯
That’s the most damaged kraton on yt I think!
From what I've seen it is.
Never rolled doing a wheelie. Are you still 6 years old?
Huh?? The car handles so good in a wheelie, that was the first time it rolled over in one… not sure how that relates to my age bud.
You can get it fixed on warranty after launching it straight at a tree? That's some warranty.😂
Yes sir
Damn, thats brutal😂
It was though😂
putting the jumps aiming at the tree, makes me feel this was done intentionally to get likes
Nah bro why would I ruin a whole day of filming in the first 5 minutes for a few likes. So far I’ve made literally $4.76 off this video so it ain’t for money either. Gotta understand that I’m pushing to get Kraton content out for you guys, but with a major setback like this, I just had to make the best out of the situation.
@@traxrc "I didn't aim for the tree bud it's just part of RC. And what did I get out of it?? I got a banger video that's blowing up more than most of my past videos. So I think I made out okay??"
THATS YOU WHO SAID THAT.
I never said blowing up was getting money. Blowing up for me means that it does wayyyy better than my previous 10 videos I posted.
My Big Rock is sitting in pieces as we speak. Same damage. Tie rod was the only thing keeping it together. I took it all apart last night and is gonna cost me about the same amount of money to put it back together. I feel for ya buddy, it sucks but it's part of the game.
💯. I’m not mad ab it at all and I’ve been in the hobby for 8 years so ik that it happens. I’m was just upset that I couldn’t use it for the rest of the day lol. I had like 4 videos planned with it
@@traxrc so true! You drove out to the camper for nothing!
Nah we still got 4 videos done
@@traxrc that’s true👍
Damage recap:
-chassis
-center shaft
-center brace rod ends in the best case
-servo
Not too bad
More than that lol. You forgot the receiver box and that small steering link lol
Bro you should see it in person I was there and you should have seen Joshes face it was the ultimate click bait thumbnail 😂😂👍
@@RealRcbasher not clickbait tho
@@traxrc Nooooooo I mean your face when you saw the chassis the first time all shattered and everything not the actual thumbnail🤦♂️
@@RealRcbasher Ya ik what you mean. I'm saying that even if I would have included my face like that in the thumbnail it wouldn't have been clickbait.
"warranty claim" i dont think there is a warranty on driving into a tree at full speed
Who said they had to know that??
@@traxrc they arent as stupid as you apparently think they are. they can figure out, more or less, what happened when theres that much damage and that many parts need replacing. also dont be an ass and abuse the system, you will ruin it for other people. if every idiot who slams into a tree as full speed, and i call you an idiot because you think this is warranty worthy not cause you hit a tree, tries to claim a warranty then they will stop having such amazing warranties on their products
Hi tree hi car ahhhhhhh nooooo hahaha that was epic... best crash damage video on the wacky web for sure
Haha thanks 🙏
Hell, in my opinion the chassis did what it was supposed to do - protect the inside of the car. These things are pretty much nuke-proof from everything I've seen, but NO rc cars of any scale are tree-proof haha. You hit it in a certain way, too, that just looked nasty. It looked like you hit the brake and brought the front end down so it hit even HARDER! That smack was nasty. But the fact that everything inside the car (aside from the center shaft and brace) was fine (battery, motor, esc) is pretty amazing.
Shame about the servo though, everything else is pretty cheap. But hey, now you can splurge a bit and get an upgrade! :D
I don’t disagree, but I also don’t really know if the damages were excessive.
The servo still works which is amazing. The case is just cracked lol.
That was brutal. Sorry man
Thanks Tony! It was a bummer lol
That was hard, man
Fr dude
Horizon would've probably replaced all of that for free under their 3 yr warranty.
I know that I could have done the horizon warranty but I needed the parts fast and I figured buying the parts would be faster than useless it.
Bravo Champion
👍
jenny's RC should have the XLWB chassis and other parts you're lookin' for in stock by later this week. sign up for their notifications.
They had some in stock when I checked but as a new Arrma owner I never heard of them and already ordered all of the parts from Horizon. I’ll have to order from Jenny’s RC in the future though.
We were wondering how you ordered all those parts. We can’t find it on horizon.
We’ve got a bad axle from the factory and can’t find replacements.
But dammm that was a crazy tree slap. Can’t wait for the content you had planned 👍🤘
@@ekimyhael9964 whoa. The RUclips "Bots In Black" just deleted my last response. have no idea why. But yeah Jenny's RC is THE resource for me in trying to find replacement backorder parts. I have a MESS of Arrma spare parts, used and new, so by all means feel free to reach if you need anything. i love the content and commentary in these videos! i'm learning new davinci editing techniques so my episodes are a little slower than most. anyway keep up the awesome work yall!
If you go to the Kraton 4S product site, click on replacement parts and it shows a lot. Some are on backorder but most are in stock, including the chassis to my surprise!
Nice!! I've heard a lot about Jenny's RC since I posted this video. They just got another customer haha.
Keep up at editing bro. I've never used DaVinci Resolve, but my cousin does for some gaming videos he makes, and my other cousin makes Jeep/Offroading videos on DaVinci too. I use FCPX, as I came from learning iMovie. It was just a smoother transition. Didn't take me long to outgrow the basic functions in FCPX and now I've been playing around with effects, plugins, and more advanced features. One of the best features of DaVinci Resolve is the color grading. I've heard that it is the best out there and there are plugins for FCPX I can get to make the color grading process like DaVinci.
A little rip for the chassis brace unthread the nut a bit to add preload to the rubber damper.
Ya I messed with that nut when I first got it and didn't know if it was better to have it tight/loose.
@@traxrc make it looser or unthread the back rod end and put a washer between it and the tube theres a thread on the arrma forum on it
I’ll look into it
Best head on tree crash with a brand new Kraton ever ! Ouch !
Yep lol!
A wise man learns from another man's mistakes. Thank you.
Note to self..... do not hit a tree @ 50 mph
Haha 😂
😂
Well, you have a great clip to randomly put in other videos.
Haha yeah ig
Should of put a m2c chassis brace on there 😢
Idk if even that would have saved it. I’m getting one now but when the chassis broke, the car was new so it would have been almost impossible to actually get one.
I hear ya I'm just thinking it would of slapped the brace and took most of the shock away from the plastic.
Ur probably right cuz even if the chassis cracked it would have been held together so I’d still be able to drive it🤷♂️
Yeah that's my thoughts o well rebuild and get back out there.
Yes sir!
Definitely the tree's fault, not yours haha
lol I suppose
Tree rc car enemy number 1
Ofc I hit the only one in the field.
Looks like a warranty claim. Lol
I honestly didn't even want to mess with a claim so I just bought the parts lol.
I can almost guarantee that that RC car had some weak stress points in it already because all that damage is insane
I thought about that, but I don’t know how true that is because everytime I was ran it I take out the motor module, clean, and inspect everything on the truck. Never found any damage before.
It was in pretty much perfect condition I saw it irl
Yea just set up the ramps right in front of a tree
They weren’t aiming at it but I was hitting the ramps at an angle that happened to be aimed at the tree…
Even a 6s car woulda had a bent straight up chassis. That wreck was nastyyy
Your probably right. It that scenario what breaks is based on how you hit the tree, and I don’t think there is that much you can do.
A 6s car might have been worse it would have been going faster!!!
Idk if a metal chassis would have survive that impact tbh
Damn bro , you border line to buy a new truck . I recommend for future jumping to not set ramps in front of trees !
Lol. A new truck would cost a lot more. Def gonna watch out for the trees 👀
@@traxrc I feel ya , when I have 50% of cost in damage I just buy a new rig lol but I raided Jenny's rc lol . I have chassis, arms , diff , etc for when I do break my rig .
Haha nice. What I broke was only 1/5 of the price so it really wasn’t too bad, but still a good chunk of $$
@@traxrc still better than crashing a rc plane into the ground from my experience lol
I bet 😂
Jenny’s RC has all the parts for cheap
Ah you mean a site not a channel. They don’t have everything I broke and I ordered everything already. What they do have in stock that I broke wasn’t much cheaper than horizons price. I did see some good prices though!! How much do they charge for shipping??
@@traxrc ok bro just thought I’d throw it out there.
Someone else commented the same thing and I got the comments mixed up lol. I thought the other comment was talking about another channel I should watch because I’ve never heard of it lol. I know that first sentence probably confused you but I meant it for the other comment.
@@traxrc shipping is only a couple bucks. I order so much stuff from them
Awesome!!
lmao, im so sorry
🥲
Gonna order this beast of a bitch tommorow lol expected by Wednesday. I dont go this hard at all cuz id be super pissed if that was mine. That was painful to watch for real bro. Subbed and shared! 👍
Sick you are going to love it! It’s still my favorite RC to this day. Also if I asked Horizon hobbies they probably would have given me new parts for free from their warranty so keep that in mind when you break yours😂
Why would you aim it at a tree 🌴 one tree n you had to aim for the tree that's what you get
He didn’t think it would jump that far lol
I didn't aim for the tree bud it's just part of RC. And what did I get out of it?? I got a banger video that's blowing up more than most of my past videos. So I think I made out okay??
@@traxrc true there are so many comments!
Edit: and it’s a sick video!
@@traxrc you were definitely signing a different tune in another comment

You need to visit Jenny's RC!
I'm confused where you're coming from because his channel is all crawling content.
@@traxrc Well, for the Kraton...doesn't seem like a crawler...
I thought you were talking about another RUclips channel lol. I didn’t know you meant a website. I did look at the site though and they have some decent prices. Some parts aren’t super cheap compared to the horizon prices. I already order everything though so I’ll keep this website in mind! Thanks for the info 🤙
@@traxrc No worries... I was just trying to help you out as Jenny's RC is very cheap!
Yes I appreciate it! Definitely going to make use of them in the future!
Quick, check JRC for spares. You destroyed that new RC, the sound when it hit the tree 🤐🤐🤐 not sure warranty covers jumping into a tree truck 😋
Yeah I already ordered everything from Horizon so I'll make use of Jenny's RC in the future. Never heard of it until I've gotten a million comments about Jenny's on this video lol. I didn't expect a warranty to cover it but it sure got people commenting about it lol.
Thanks for watching brotha!
Hey I’ve said it before and I will say it again if @ARRMA RC sees the video maybe they can send him something I mean from what Josh and I can tell it’s the worst damaged kraton on yt!
I don’t t think warranty will cover that? Lol
No I think it will😂😂😂
Sure, just tell 'em it came like that and the box was damaged lol. I don't even care. I already ordered the parts to fix it. If any representives @ARRMA RC see this I'd glady accept a reiemburstment for the damage costs lol.
Man that’s straight suicidal! At least you played it calm while you shooting the video. Speedy recovery!
@@a-train7715 lol. My goal is to provide quality content, which is why I bought this RC. This is a prime example of one of a kind content. I really do think that I have the first Kraton in half.
Hopefully the reciever box and center brace rod ends don't take too long though as they are on backorder.
Hole shit
yep..
😂🤣
ikr lol
Nice way to burn $500
More like $600 because I need to fix everything. But I bought it for content so ig I'm okay with it happening. I just wish it wasnt that day because I had so much planned.
Yeah 600 with battery. I’m about to pick up the outcast & Kraton in a couple week. I just wanted to wait what’s everyone on RUclips saying or complaining about it. Plus I wanted to wait till they start stocking the parts.
@@a-train7715 I absolutely love this RC, and would recommend it, despite it breaking in half. As long as you know how to drive and are considerate, it's strong and handles perfect.

Bout sums in up 😂
That was barely ten feet bro terrible acting
10ft high?? Nah your trippin. It went over my head 100%. Who said I was acting?? All of my videos are 100% real life. No acting over here.
Play stupid games....
Make cool videos 🤷♂️
@@traxrc lol, you should take your own advice. Running your truck into a tree off a tiny plastic ramp isn't a cool video. Lol. It was obvious by the intro music and your first few comments that you're just a youngster without a clue. Your reply here proves it.
Ok😂
