Kraton 6s EXB V2 Review 

I bought that truck the same day I bought my Mojave 4s. I said to myself as soon as the Mojave breaks I'll open up the Kraton. It is still in the box.

My biggest problem with this has been broken arms. It's not a new problem with the platform but it's become less tolerable as more durable cars have come out. I think you're scoring is pretty fair though you might catch some flack from some other channels :-)

Greetings, my hobby is playing RC from Indonesia and I really idolize the Arrma Kraton RC😍😍☺️☺️🙏🙏

Love my Kraton, still rocking the Gen 1 EXB. For my use its been faultless, smiles all day!

My notorious sounds like that out the box I wish they could of make these car with less noise make it sound smoother

Always love the videos man!! Personally I’d rather hear you talk about the cars and watch you work on them with your experience and insight. If I wanna see RCs in action I’ll just charge a battery and go outside. But nonetheless love your channel!!! 👍

One thing I don’t think most people take into consideration with Arrma is just how much heavier their cars are compared to most other comparable brands at the same scales. My buddy has the 6s Arrma notorious. And it’s almost as heavy as my traxxas XRT. Heavy duty parts add weight. So a heavier car has more potential for breakage when jumping, crashing, etc, than others. So far I’ve had real good luck with my 3s granite and 4s outcast. Great video man.

The running footage is always awesome. Then again, the informative stuff you give is amazing as well. I guess a combination of both is perfect.

Oh yeah. The stock hubs and bearings on this rig are not very tough. But this is a 6S rig issue across the lineup. I just replace the entire hub with Hot Racing hubs. The HR hubs use oversized bearings. Reduces maintenance. Takes a bigger beating. Removes chance of having the ball pop out of the socket. And it it looks cool.

I appreciate all that you do for RC Regards, A Subscriber

Mate I love your channel. One thing the new EXB needs is metal front hub's. Great video mate 👍 👌 💯😃

Thank you AJ for what you do!

Great stuff !! Just picked one up and have had the same issues. thx again !!

I personally don’t mind the noisyness of Arrma. My 3s granite is a little noisy too. But that thing is a friggin wheelie beast. That round bowl area where you’re driving looks fun as hell.

Great review thanks man!👍

Thanks for a great review !!

yup we ordinary joes need to work hard to make ends meet, love ur reviews 👍🏻

Спасибо за видео, познавательно. Заказал себе EXB v2

Great video AJ. Have to agree with your assessment. I think there's too much of an assumption in the hobby that "bigger, 1/8 scale, and metal" automatically equals "fewer issues" and that's just not the case. Everyone I've seen who speaks honestly about this truck is having more problems with it than I have with my 1/10 scales that cost 1/3 as much.

Top level review AJ. Take care brother 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 👍

I have a exb v2 and after servo upgrades mount servo servo horn it's solid the wing mounts are unabtanium when they break and they break the wings are fragile replace the hubs with triple bearing hubs I love it it's a good build platform

Bought same kraton here also...beat the bat out of it and still no problems yet...but of course my losi truggy will still spank this kraton lol....but I love arrma also😅

The solution for the drive cups is to install M2C RACING diff cups. Unfortunately this is common across the 6S lineup. Once you install the M2C diff cups you don't have that problem. Also even the EBS V2 you gotta remove the spacer at the end of the lower arm. Another issue is the stock shock cap bushings. They're a rubber sleeve style. And there's a lot of slop. Again install M2C delrin bushings. Problem solved. Realistically with any rtr that is mass produced you should be taking the diffs out to fill and or replace the fluids to spec or liking. All fasteners that require loctite should be checked. All before the first run. I still feel that this EBS V2 offers a lot of rc for 700 bux. Compared to anything else at this price point.

Funny you mention it being incredibly noisy. I thought I was the only one that got bothered by that. I bought the 6s Big Rock after it came out and dealt with the same problem. No matter what I did, I could not get it to quiet down. I finally got so annoyed I went back to the hobby shop in early April and traded it for a new one. I had also bought the Kraton exb and neither of these has had this problem however unlike the first Big Rock, for these two I have not changed the pinion gears. Never had that problem with the Talion or Mojave but I am wondering if these new ones don't respond well to pinion gear changes.

garage life rc wing mount is AWESOME

22 of 30 is a C. This truck should be at least a B (24). Which 1/8 truggies do you think are and A and B?

First, keep the videos coming along

M2C Racing has Outdrive Cups in stock, my front OEM cups broke in the first two battery packs.

Sounds like there's no fluid in the center diff. I bought same kraton and out of the box was perfect. No noise like that. I beat the hell out of it and have had no axle cup issue yet.

Have a question. I got the 8s Outcast EXB Rtr V2. Costa the same as a regular Rtr but but the 6s is 150 more. The 8 S outcast is a beast. Got her in October and the only part broken was a front tie rod end. Wonder why she extra cost on the 6s but not the 8 ?? Thank you. Much appreciated

Im suprised that people are breaking drive cups on these. Mine have been holding up knock on wood. I did break a front arm that was my fault and I broke a rear arm on a bad landing. I changed the tires to db backflips just like them better.

That's weird how loud it is. I have 2 K6's. None of them sound like that. Hmmmmm. I'd like to know what's going on there.

Have you had an HoBao on the channel before. Iv heard they are very underrated.

Have to ask is this in Oregon. Specifically Central Oregon?

Run out of the box shouldnt mean "even with faults". If if has a minor manufacturing issue then it should be corrected. If it had loose wheel nuts, you are saying you wouldnt tighten them up before the first run?

Can you upgrade the v5 to be super durable and to the exb v2 version?

Can fun same-same and E-MAXX

😅

It’s whisper quiet.

All rigs will break and it's usually driver error. Usually when something breaks when it shouldn't have its from a previous impact that should have broke it but only cracked or weakened it enough for the next jolt to finish it off. What's unacceptable for me is poor design and engineering. Things like Traxxas electronics in general and proprietary parts, pieces, and plugs.

Do you guys at the channel have an email address?
