Yeah it’s been a while bro since we’ve seen this monster. But it is my favorite I love the other ones to but this one just has a special place in my heart🥰
100% the Kraton is a beast,love mine. You don't even need the EXB version. Mine is the BLX RTR with Rpm arms only,stock system even the servo and it takes an absolute beating,I send that thing and it just keeps going. It absolutely outperforms the Xmaxx in every way accept durability in my opinion.
Ya haven that longer wheel base is nice. Holds it to the ground nice and imo helps it fly nice too. Ur setup is def perfect for this rig. U hit the nail on the head in this ⚡
BRO! That hair! LMFAO! Nice! Your production quality has matured very nicely, not that there’s anything wrong with this video, but your new ones are just rockstar
Thunder, found old footage of my outcast exb, I had way to much power running through the thing. I sometimes regret giving up on it. I did land a hard side landing and blew all the stock tires in a few minutes. I love that you love it! ❤️ Epic as usual my brother! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️🏆
So I would have to agree 💯 with you here. Don’t get me wrong I think the X-Maxx is a beast and I love mine but there’s no way to make up for the weight this has and how it handles because of that. It’s an absolute weapon!!!! I’m running the 780kv Spektrum motor with the Max 5 36/39 gearing in my Kraton EXB and boy she’s lively!! Great video bro 👊👊👍👍
Thanks for helping me make up my mind. Been in RC for years and years with all the "toy" scales.... At almost 60 years of age I finally have the opportunity to step up to 1/5th scale. I've watched many videos on this piece, and this video was very convincing... I'm a conservative driver so it's good to know that if I decide to push this a wee bit it can take it. Great job!!!! :)
Awesome video as always Eric. Some truly inspiring camera work combined with experienced driving skill. Good to see the Chanel finally growing, you deserve it. Keep up the inspiration. Thanks for sharing with us. Oh yeah gotta love Arrma. John
man, ill give it to ya, that thing flies so smooth through the air!! Still think Traxxas wins me over, but Arrma's been cookin up some good stuff lately.
I do love the kratons but o love my k6, I e never owned a k8 so I can't say I don't love it but the way the kraton platform handles, flys and the all round performance of them r epic brother 😉🤙💪👊⚡⚡⚡
I believe 3s and 4s ok for skateparks, anything bigger for grass, dirt and hauling butt just having fun. I do run the Notorious 6s at the skatepark once in awhile like a remote control skateboard with no flips.
Another killer video there brother great bashing and I just keep telling myself that I don't need one of these rigs so I just need you to stop with these videos I don't need 1 of these stop trying to convince me I'm happy with what I got you're right but I need you to stop😊
Bro those solder joints!!!! Sorry man had to say something. Love my k8s exb as well. Had the 1100 in it with a 30t. Loved it then went with a 800kv and a 35t with 39spur and love it more. Either way I agree these things fly so much better than the xmaxx. I have all 3 the x/o8s/k8s. The k8s flies like no other!!
Haha yeah man that was my last Xt90 I had left that was used and in a desperate attempt to make it work until I get my next shipment of connectors 🤣🤣Yes this truck flies amazingly well through the air!🤩⚡⚡
Wats up bro I need your honest opinion..I have a notorious and want to upgrade it to exb parts but I want to do a Mojave conversion??what do you think upgrade the notorious or convert it..love that’s I can do stunts but not big fan of swb
The thing about skate parks is you have to pretend that it's you on a skateboard. Only practice tricks you know you can land without crashing. It takes practice. If you just go there and hit full throttle the whole time you're gonna break it. Skaters practice every day, it's the same with RC. I prefer 1/8 scale truggies at skate parks. The tekno et48 2.0 jumps, flips and predictably lands better than any rc I've driven so far. I agree about the kraton, durability has as much to do with your driving skills as the car itself.
Right on, definitely a cool model. *I wanted to take this opportunity to ask Santa for cash money this year again….I was extra good this year and my wife hardly had to nag on me. 😂😂
Looking to build a very similar setup to this, what size Spur gear are you running with that 31T pinion? Looks like it rips!! I also saw you switched to an 800KV recently, how do you like the two setups compared to each other?
Hey brotha! Yes I like the 1100 kv motor way better for my style of driving. It is lighter and more aggressive. 31 tooth pinion and 47 spur. However I now have it on a 31 pinion and a 39 spare and it is super fast 🚀💯💯⚡
@@thunderrc quick question, when you were running the 31p/47s setup with the 1100kv, how were your temps? Any speed runs made to get mph? I saw you switched to a 31/39 but mentioned she runs hot
I feel that Arrma needs to make a Talion EXB 8S after seeing how awesome the 6S was. I bet it would be the new king 👑 if it would be made. Is the Kraton and Outcast 8S use same chassis and steering composites? Or are they totally different rigs? Awesome video man the Kraton is killer Much love and best wishes brother 👊🔥👊
Hey what’s going on bro, I just built the same truck. I’m having problems with the steering. The truck just does a hard left circle I tried to set sub trim but I had to set it to like -70 for it to go straight. Any suggestions of why this would be? Thanks
HMmmm let me seee.. May try to reset your steering all together. Take off the servo horn and plug in batteries, than reset you steering trim to zero even and screw horn back on. I hope this helps 🤩⚡️🏆
Yes sir, took my max 5 off and put the original back on before I sold it, so yea I have a nice esc just need to get the roller, I’m kinda sick I sold it. But I’ll have another next pay period 🤙🏼👍🏼
I would say it has potential to perform that way LOL you definitely need skills to handle this beast this is not a beginner rc. Get the X max first and practice LOLIt definitely blows my X maxx away in distance as well
@@stuntzbelowzero7255 out of all the big guys it’s the only one you could just hand the controller over to any beginner in the hobby , and not have to worry about it being destroyed. Lol.
RCs are like drones. The smaller ones are all over the place like a tazmanian devil even with flips and crashes. The larger they get, the more stable it is to control. Imo
I’m going to do a video on mine as well I’d like you to check it out I’m just waiting on a steering servo I stripped mine out by putting some badlands on it
Anytime brotha! Get the Hobbywing Max 5 esc and the Spektrum 1100 kv motor. Any 4s dual batteries will work. Gearing is a 30/39 30 pinion and and 39 spur 👍
@@thunderrc Thanks a bunch! Appreciate it! I'm building it and then I'm sending it! Here in Stockholm Sweden the climate is a bit different and I really look forward to bashing in the snow. Also, what servo should I get? Thanks for replying! 😀

The steering on the 1/5 kraton and outcast is flawed. I would not recommend this truck because mine has been sitting for 4 of the 6 months I have had it
More info, I had steering binding issues. I tightened down the rod ends of the chassis braces because it was putting pressure onto the steering bellcrank

I have already noodled it once but i haven't got the m2c chassis or brace yet, and I still like tekno better anyway
Great review , I’m building one rite now and not sure what servo to put in it ??

Question? What made you run the spectrum 1100 with the max5
I wanted to keep weight down to a min without sacrificing power. 1100 kv is considerably lighter than 800 kv
