Bought this RC for my birthday, took it to a RC bash session with some local hobby friends, and this truck absolutely stole the show by backflipping non-stop with ease. At the end of the day the only damage I had was the ESC cooling fan
The servo. I love my Arrma vehicles, and no offense meant to you, but maybe you don't remember what a good servo feels like. I'm a cheap bastard, I'm not talking about buying a $70-$100+ servo. The stock s652 19 kilo servo in the Kraton 6s BLX is not powerful enough to move a tiny mouse turd. I don't know if the EXB version comes with a radically different servo, but a $30 Power Hobby 190mg servo felt twice as fast and stronger than that s652 stock servo. Once again, not trying to dis you or make fun, but after my second Arrma vehicle (Felony) I realized that any time I buy an Arrma vehicle, it is imperative to include a new servo in the budgeting. Once again, I'm not the kinda person who would spend $$$ on a servo, I'm sure a triple digit servo would feel great, though I am a cheap bastard, I have come to the realization that no stock servo will make me feel warm and fuzzy inside, and $30 isn't much extra to make a $700 truck feel so much better to drive. I hope that your servo is magical and doesn't break within the first year, but I predict a dire future for any Spektrum servos, out of the box they are doomed to a short painful life. More power to you if your Speccy servo has a long and enjoyable life, but you really should give yourself a aftermarket servo, it feels so good, I even have naughty dreams about servos, the kind of dreams I have to go to confession afterwards, and wear the hair shirt for penitence. A new servo is the best cheap upgrade for any RTR, as long as you don't buy a Reefs servo or anything ludicrous, it won't break the bank. I just can't feel satisfaction from stock servos, and I know it's not snobbery, because my servo was only $30, and you can barely buy any aftermarket parts for that cheap. Buy a new servo. If you're losing your hair, the servo will help. Buy a new servo, if your wife is leaving you, it will bring her back. Buy a new servo, if you have ED, you'll get a priapism instead. Buy a new servo, if you have a potbelly, it'll turn into a six-pack Buy a new servo, it'll make the voices in your head stop. Buy a new servo. It'll stop the PTSD. Buy a damn new damn servo damn it. Just listen to Emperor Palpatine when he says: "do it" I bought a new servo, and I was even able to score with a chick for once. A human chick, too. Coincidence? Hardly.
Love that you kept everything (other than the driveshafts) stock! If you watch some of these reviews they’ve already changed the ESC, motor, servos, hubs etc…! It doesn’t allow someone who might want to buy the truck a good idea of what might break or how durable the truck really is! M2C parts are not cheap and if I were to replace broken parts I want to know if the stock parts are all I need! It also makes the truck seem like it needs those parts to compete with other brands that claim to be more durable! Especially from all the Arrma haters! Great video as usual! You never let me down!
@@RazorRC Kraton 6S EXB v2 is "best rc" until Outcast 6S EXB v2 comes along and unseats it...am i rite? ARRMA is wise to put this out first and let it run for a few months before releasing the next Outcast. I would love to get my hands on one of these Kratons eventually.
Arrma hit a homerun with this one. I totally agree, who really needs more power? Why? Just asking for breakage IMO too. Just when TC made up some ground with the Kagama, Arrma dropped the hammer and pulled ahead again. Sure the Sludge is capable, no argument there, but the cost just adds up to too much. Doesn't seem worth it to me. Nicely done Razor.👍 Cheers!
I agree with your comments. And I feel the same more power just mean more breakage and heavier wear a lot of time. That and the new system is plenty powerful! It’s a hard tie for me on the Kagama VS2E this new Kraton though and I did preorder and own this new Kraton.
@@longboardguy Sweet! Congrats! I really like both as well. I just think the Kraton edges the Kagama out by a bit. I would be happy with either though.
Love this truck, i have the same one. have had it for about a month now. And my 6S Fireteam just came in today! about to go run that tomorrow and see how it compares. Coming over from a Traxxis slash. Loving Arrma so far.
So I have a K6 EXB V2. First thing I did was replace the stock shock cap bushings with m2c bushings. The stock ones are a rubber sleeve style that in stock form have a lot of slack. Then I tuned the diffs. 500k in center, 60k front and 30k rear. After that I sent it. Went through 10 packs. No breaks. 100 foot plus sends off of a Freshpark ramp. This new K6, in my opinion, is the best rtr out right now. Bar none. For 700 bux idk of anything else that packs this many upgrades, durability and performance.
Thanks! It's funny, because my early review videos just featured the car on a table and me talking for 20 minutes with no running footage, now it's gone completely the other way, lol.
I've had no issues with my EXB OUTCAST and have had a ton of fun. I've used 4s and 6s,the stunt truck wheelies a lot but I mostly do jumping and bf so. Good value I agree.
Arrma warrantied the bent parts? Thats sweet. Glad you made it to the park when there were no puddles. Nothing wrong with being an arrma fanboy. Keep up the good work.
I was running my little 16980sa on 3s in the church parking lot and a dude walked out with his kid . Said he did RC full time , we got to talking and he had 20 cars from a hobby store that closed and said I would like the 6s arrma Kraton and said he has one bnib for $450 which is cheaper than Amazon by $100 . I think I’m gonna get it and not a 3s since all y’all guys are saying the 4s and up seem to be durable and fun . I’ve been having a ball with my little 16 size too . He said I should o get a 4 s battery before a 6s battery which also made sense . I did trash my first one into a stop sign post . It didn’t bounce off or nothing straight stuck it so hard on the nose the rear dogbones popped off . Broke the chassis in 3 spots I got lucky with hbx replacing so , i d say they re service was really good . They even sent me their brand new 3s battery designed to fit that size . It just cartwheeled for about 20 yards , slid further on its hood into a curb . I thought both times something would be wrong, but it was OK. I get it home and I spray it with silicone lubricant and then grab the air hose and spray it all off. Seems to work good . Thanks for making these vids so I can learn stuff . 👍🦅
Funny what you mentioned about parts availability, at least here in Mexico there is no Traxxas support, and they have removed most of their spares from Amazon prime, you can get them only from some resellers that charge you 50 usd in shipping for a 5 usd part. I just bought the kraton 8s exb v2, directly from Amazon, with prime, and most of the parts are there, also with prime, so no shipping fees even if they come from the US. I wanted an xmaxx or XTR, but it was a dick move from Traxxas to stop selling their parts on Amazon, don't know why. But arrma it's well stock there. That and the quality of their recent electronics drove me to go for the kraton. It's not a closed system like Traxxas, you can program with ease the ESC on the arrma RTR.
Always look forward to your video drops. Really love the EXB V2. I've been slowly upgrading my V5 and really enjoying it. Question - does the EXB V2 come with bearings in the steering posts? Just curious. Thanks again for the exellent content, you deserve to break 100k subs for the quality. 👍
I picked up a used 6s exb Kraton and it rocks. Only issue I have is none of my fans have come on yet on either the motor or the esc. Kind of odd for both to not be working !!
What are you running for weights in F/C/R for oils now? I realize everyone has tastes but watching your recent vids and what kind of terrain and driving it seems very balanced for power output to wheels etc.
I'm new to RC trucks (I fly RC planes) and was seriously looking at the Arrma Granite or the Team Associated MT10. However, I unexpectedly came across a very clean 6s Kraton EXB for a very good price. Is the 6s Kraton EXB to much for a newbie???
Love your channel. Best RC buying review channel on RUclips. If I want to run my Futaba 4pm radio that i use for racing.. Can I just buy a futaba receiver and put it in the Kraton and it will run well with the Spektrum stock electronics in the Kraton? Want to make sure it will still have all the functionality and “punch” options. Im new to RC. So i appreciate the knowledge. I sure wish they still made a roller.
Where are these jumps at? I just purchased the normal Kraton 6S because nobody had this in stock. I'm localish in Livermore and have friends that have bashers that live around the Bay Area.
Im running this right now with the stock electronics. Thickened up the diff fluid. What is the stock pinion and the speed pinion tooth? Id like a bit more top speed. But dont want to roast the electronics. Any suggestions for a pinion? Thanks!!

Is the 8s Kraton exb better? What do you suggest I do? I currently have an xrt ultimate that I love. I bought a sledge after owning the xrt ultimate. The pinion and spur break too often.

What would you consider the absolute best basher in the 6s class? And what would you consider the absolute best basher in the 8s class?
You should have picked a kraton over the sledge from the start tbh. You might as well buy the m2c parts for the sledge and ride it out now! it's apparently a great truck once you upgrade it.
@@BeautyBeastRC you know what. I’ll just buy the Kraton. I know I made a huge mistake getting the sledge over the Kraton. Which Keaton is better! The 6s or the 8s? I know I love my xrt ultimate.
@@joemomma707If you have the room to store it, haul it, and run it, go 8s. For most, the 6s is the sweet spot. It's faster, nimber, and can jump awesome too.
I still have it with mine, but for me it’s partly my fault. I’m hitting big, 10-15 foot snow jumps and when it’s soft the suspension is forced down, past where it normally would be due to the forgiving snow. This forces the arms all the way up, and the axles travel all the way out. Sometimes you can hear a crunch sound as the dog bones try to find the slit in the cup. I used my normal fix of some nitro fuel tubing on the shock shaft but I just popped another last weekend still. When the jump firms up it’s not a problem it’s just when it’s more powdery.
@@StraitJacketRC I broke the drive shaft on mine two days ago. Didn’t slip out but broke. It’s an interesting design. My brothers Losi dogbone goes in towards the differential. Vs our KRATON where it comes out. Be cool if that was what ours did lol
I think Traxxas may pay some of these stores to carry them exclusively or maybe it's just my local shop. They have maybe 2 different Arrma trucks they sell with just a couple parts. Then every Traxxas car with every part you could ever need. Either I buy it online or drive an hour if I need it now. Irritating to say the least.
We have a local small store with not much space and Traxxas forced the owner to either stock up with Traxxas cars and parts or they will terminate his right to even sell Traxxas parts or trucks. We told him to get in touch with arrma instead, but it’s sad since we drive Traxxas trucks too. Dick move from Traxxas
My LHS guys give me honest thoughts and opinions based on Frontline experiences. If I want one or the other, they respect it. But I walk-around ND point out what I like and they give me unbiased, wrench based opinions. On everything. Some Arrmas are good and some Traxxas cars are not so good. Life 101. 6S, I prefer the Kraton, 8S, prefer the XRT as gar as TRUGGIES. Mass doesn't have an equal as far as MONSTER TRUCKS! On road is a toss up and the Felony is preferred but the Xo1 is great. I'm a RC fan, couldn't care less who makes it, if I like it, I buy it
@@GamezOfWarwell then explain to me why arrma is better if you have to replace almost every part for them to be durable you don't have to do that with Traxxas

Kraton 6S if you wqnt speed and handling. Xmaxx if you want higher jumping and less control over it (which is a different kind of fun, really).
You could have adjusted the droop screws instead of the o-rings in the shocks.
They're outside the shock, on the shock shaft for the compression stroke.

I'm a RC fan, couldn't care less who makes it, if I like it, I buy it
Can it actually go 65 mph or eh?
Yep with speed pinion and some nice batteries
@@magnusstone no but does it actually go 65 mph out of box and without adding anything?
@@dijsjsjdjshsjjsjd6025 if you just put in batteries and run I believe it goes low 50s, but there is a speed pinion in the box
Dam, really?
I would say with the Sledge you get better value and plus this is coming from someone who's had terrible experience with Arrma
That’s a joke right??Traxxas is the most overpriced junk in rc..can’t believe people still support them to be honest.
@@GamezOfWarwell then explain to me why arrma is better if you have to replace almost every part for them to be durable you don't have to do that with Traxxas
@@Brayl129a1which parts are you replacing on this new EXB V2? Looks like it only needs a couple things.
@@magnusstone you shouldn't have to replace a chassis after a few runs which is a huge red flag in my opinion
@@GamezOfWaragree Traxxas I go to 2 hobby shops that's what you see 6 minimum on the bench and didn't run long then all the shiny crap I dropped $1000 in upgrades alone to later sell it bought Traxxas before along with my brother can say arrma listens and learns the first Traxxas doesn't they drop some flash body colors and some cheap parts don't address the problems esc and servos have always been bad esc is down right crap at best not if it's when it will fail and it's a simple esc.
Did you really cut that lady off at the gate? BOO!!
