This is definitely one of my favorite bash vids. The Kraton has been in one or two shorts since this lol. Definitely time for me to replace the $3 diff bearing and get it back out 😂
LOL at 4:12. Complete disregard. I just got a V5 and am planning eventually on the M2C mods. Once I bend stuff lol. Doing all new steering first. Great video!
1:12 my bumper is cracked on both sides in that exact location. seems to be doing alright, it just gives the bumper a little more flex and i dont see that as bad.
Thanks! I’m glad you like the video. It’s really one of my favorites as well. I agree it’s such a fun car, and even better once you do upgrades. Especially to the steering servo and the servo saver
6:03 The people slowing down as sht is flying through air crashing into trees next to them while driving is hilarious. Gotta wonder what they were thinking. I'm also surprised TPU isn't used a lot more on RC cars. Of course it's useless for structural, but I can imagine a lot of areas it could help with durability.
Really enjoyed both videos especially the first one because of the wrenching, trying to learn as much as I can and I have a question. Do I need to remove the rear assembly of the kraton to install the rear hinge pin blocks?
Glad you like the videos! I can’t remember off the top of my head, but I don’t think you do. Remove what’s behind it to gain access to the screws holding it in.
Power Hobby 190MG servo: $30 on Amazon. 6 or 7.4v BEC supported. I think it's 29kg ? Very fast. I run one in my Felony, which is not a lightweight car.
I just put a direct power AGF RC 12-16.8 volt servo in my Kagama. I got it for $78 but Amazon is sold out of them. I run it off a separate 3s battery and it handles my 20 pound truck very well. It's 48 kilos at 12v with 0.129 response rate. I'm so glad I spent the extra money (I still had to tighten my servo saver) because it makes such a difference in handling at high speeds. Here's a clip of it turning on laminate floor and in the air ruclips.net/user/shortsTdErAVShI7g?si=CJ6a7gvWhbWOnw1Q Best servo I've used and if I wanna run it on 4s it's 62 kilos at 0.089 milliseconds response time. Steel gears, waterproof. It was my Christmas present to me.
Haha! Thanks! It doesn’t necessarily look like it, but those wing mounts took a hell of a beating in this video. They got twisted, folded, and downright slammed and no splits or cracks! 🤣👍👍
Oh I definitely lost count of the hits it took lol glad you are enjoying them. We also have the front bumper support to replace that cracked one 👍 as always very entertaining watch.
I sorta decided I’m not going to get an 8s Kraton (for now atleast) only because of the expense to upgrade, but I’d say most likely the same parts I did for my 6s. I may be going for an XRT soon.
This was the stock pinion. Can’t remember teeth number, but not the high speed pinion it comes with as an option. This wasn’t all shot the same day, but I haven’t even checked temps on it. One of these days I’ll replace the battery in my temp gun so I can do check that again! Been running it hard like this for over a year and hvent burned up any electronics yet. Thought I did once, but was just a wire I pinched on accident under the esc mounting block.
Another AWESOME REVIEW!!! I spoke with you a few days ago regarding the life altering decision between an Arrma Granite, Arrma Big Rock, Team Associated RIVAL MT10 or Rlaarlo Omni Terminator. From your advice I was leaning towards the Granit or MT10. However, an opportunity has come up and I would like your opinion. I found a local person selling a like new 6s Kraton EXB for $450. Even though that's seems like a great price it's a bit more than I was hoping to spend LOL (I fly RC planes so I already have a few of the 6s 50c batteries available that would help absorb a bit of the initial cost). Would the 6s Kraton be more than a newbie RC truck person should try??? I just don't want to bite off more than I can chew for my first truck LOL.
Thanks!! My opinion is if you can spend that much, go the 4s route. Still has a center differential, and is easier and cheaper to repair! Plus same price for a brand new truck. Only thing is you need a 4s batt (or two 2s batts). Have you seen my 4s outcast review?
I’m planning on getting on there’s a 4s upgraded one that’s same color as this one and almost as big and that 4s one almost same price as the 6s debating on which to get I don’t wanna do all that type mods to it if I get the 6s I see a lot of ppls talking bout that steering issue
The 4s is cheaper to maintain as well. Cheaper parts, and a bit easier to work on in my opinion. I don’t have the Kraton 4s but I have the outcast and Mojave 4s. You see my videos on those? They’re two of my all time favorites.
Hello , I'm kinda new to RC cars.I want to buy ARRMA Outcast 6s EXB RTR but i saw on arma website is discontinued 😮 some shops still got It tho.Is that fact changing anything for me as an customer ? Are the parts will be still available ? Or maybe best decision will be to wait for that new version of Kraton 6s EXB RTR.Thank you in advance for the reply 😊 and great videos 😊
I would wait for the new version. Parts will likely still be available either way, but the new one supposed to have aluminum differential housings and other upgrades. 👍👍
I just got one but only use 4s right now how do I stop it from doing a backflip on launch lol mine was used has some mods and the tx300 radio I think it's v2
Well besides just being easier on the trigger, it’s possible the original owners put thick fluid in the center diff. If you hold the front wheels still and try to roll the rear ones, is there a lot of resistance or do they roll easily? If there’s a lot of resistance, I’d put thinner fluid in there. I kinda like 500k
It's been 2 years we haven't seen the kraton in a while I love this video you should do another one 👍🙏😄
This is definitely one of my favorite bash vids. The Kraton has been in one or two shorts since this lol. Definitely time for me to replace the $3 diff bearing and get it back out 😂
I have to say this is one of my favorite bash videos. It cost me $500 and I thank you. Subbed...
Thanks! And you’re welcome! Lol
Thanks!
Thanks a ton man!!
Holy moly you weren't kidding about that wing mount! That thing took some gnarly hits right on the booty!
I know for reelz!!!!
Now that's what I call a BEATDOWN! Well done!🤙🏾🙌
Haha!
Thanks bro!! 🤘😎👍
How to jump and fly safely😂😂
Absolutely!! 🤣
LOL at 4:12. Complete disregard. I just got a V5 and am planning eventually on the M2C mods. Once I bend stuff lol. Doing all new steering first. Great video!
Thanks!! Ya my stock chassis bent pretty quick 🤣🤣
@@DerbyCityRC I picked up the BLX on the last sale for $475, figuring I could M2C it up later. Why go EXB and replace the expensive EXB stuff?
Yup that was exactly my thought! I paid full price for it last year 😭
Now that was a beat down Evan! You’d make Kevin Talbot proud brother. Awesome video. Brother!! That things a scalded beast!
Thanks Robby!!
Ya this was a blast!!
Awesome RC and test on the servo
Thanks bro!!
1:12 my bumper is cracked on both sides in that exact location. seems to be doing alright, it just gives the bumper a little more flex and i dont see that as bad.
I agree! It hasn’t gotten worse yet. The flex certainly helps!! 👍👍
Love the music!!! Love your videos.
Thanks!!😊
holy mackerel. What a weapon. Welp. I guess I'll just add this to the list. Awesome video, as always!
Thanks!!!
That's awesome , your son's truck wasn't even a speed bump haha cracked me up. I do that to my boy with my fireteam all the time. Great bash man!
Lol ya he’s not always good at staying out of the way! 🤣🤣
Thanks bro!!
Sick jumps
Thanks! It’s a fun car for sure!
One word my friend AWESOME 👍💯
Much appreciated!! 🤘😎👍
I’ve been watching this video for weeks now. To the point where I went out and bought the same rc car. Thing is amazingly stupid fast
Thanks! I’m glad you like the video. It’s really one of my favorites as well. I agree it’s such a fun car, and even better once you do upgrades. Especially to the steering servo and the servo saver
i always enjoy watching your content thanks ...............
Thanks man, and you’re welcome!!
6:03 The people slowing down as sht is flying through air crashing into trees next to them while driving is hilarious. Gotta wonder what they were thinking.

Haha! They’re probably thinking, dang im gonna get a Kraton now!
Yes there’s a lot of aftermarket TPU, but so weird OEMs haven’t tapped that yet.
I have a TPU wheelie bar and wing mount on my Kagama and it is so flexible and tough.
I gotta buy a 3D printer next year.
I love the Kraton 6s
Me too! King Beast it is. Especially once upgraded
Really enjoyed both videos especially the first one because of the wrenching, trying to learn as much as I can and I have a question. Do I need to remove the rear assembly of the kraton to install the rear hinge pin blocks?

I can’t remember off the top of my head, but I don’t think you do. Remove what’s behind it to gain access to the screws holding it in.
@@DerbyCityRC I appreciate your feedback 😊👍
You’re welcome!! 😀
Nice video mate
Thanks!
If u setup ur end points that will save the servo from being to extended.
That’s true and now I can’t remember if I did that on here or not. May not have!
👍👍

Or get one of those Amazon 35 kg Dsservo (blue case, 7.4v) for under $30
I ran one for 6 months, no issues.

Oh does that fit the exb bumper? I’ll order that shortly!
Thanks man! I appreciate you watching!
Yes sir
3d-rc.online/products/arrma-6s-exb-bumper-support
Its getting to be more of a beast all the time!!!! Fun bash for sure!!! 😁
Sure is!!
Thanks!
Nice bashing session! That Kraton took all that and could have kept going!
Thanks! Yes she’s a tank now! It could not have handled all that in stock form!
Really nice video.
Where can I find the wing mount?
Thanks!
It’s from 3d-rc.online
So awesome
Well that was a great bash sir😁
Thanks very much!! 🤘😎👍
Hey @derby what about the Kraton 1/5th 8s thoughts if any on the upgrades you would do to one?
I sorta decided I’m not going to get an 8s Kraton (for now atleast) only because of the expense to upgrade, but I’d say most likely the same parts I did for my 6s.
I may be going for an XRT soon.
Best part of this 3:19
The frontflip off the sidewalk crack? lol ya that was pretty cool 😎 😎
@@DerbyCityRC HoW diD YoU LaNd ThaT!? 👦
Lol!! Man was he excited about that one 😎😎🤣🤣🤣
Basher queen just got the carbon fiber chassis brace back in stock. eBay
Nice, thanks!
What tooth pinion and punch setting are u running
Stock pinion but punch is all the way up.
@@DerbyCityRC ok thx, I’m running the 18t pinion on punch 5
Sweet!!
U put the metal chassis ya self ?
I did
What size pin gear and what were your temps.
This was the stock pinion. Can’t remember teeth number, but not the high speed pinion it comes with as an option.
This wasn’t all shot the same day, but I haven’t even checked temps on it. One of these days I’ll replace the battery in my temp gun so I can do check that again!

This thing seems like the ultimate beast. How much run time do you get out of those 5200 mAh batteries?
Ya it’s awesome!
Unfortunately I didn’t time it. But I’d say I got around 20 minutes. Pretty much full throttle the whole time lol
lets bash ✌
Cause even though the small cars have the same speed kraton hass more mass. As mass increases inertia increases so the kraton flies more
poor little car that got in front of him
Poor thing!
But she lived!!
Hear vie?? Wrrlklllly
I gotta say, Mr Speed, not real sure what you mean there lol
