What an improvement these V2 trucks are over the original! Definitely better. -Brett

@lamboplays1663 2 года назад

Thank you for doing a review of these. I have been waiting for these videos to decide wether to go with one of these or a v5 typhon 6s. I Think the 6s typhon but I still absolutely loved the video, great as always guys!

This was a Killer comparison of both options Brett 🤗. Wicked street freestyling too. That 3 rail flip with the Kraton on the loading dock was sick 😱. The Outcast 4s is a stunting Beast no question. Huge props to ARRMA for the solid upgrades with these new versions. That battery eject hit was absolutely nasty in slow-mo 👀 and a testament to how durable the beefy new control arms really are. Mine has taken a beating and just keeps going. Great overview Brother!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊

@williamoleary9330 4 месяца назад

I may have figured out the servo issue on Arrma Outcast 4s V2. So I turned those black guards on the front shocks to face away from the drive shaft and now it’s turning almost on a dime. I’ve had mine for about 5 months and the turning radius was always bad. I saw the wear on the drive shaft where those guard were so I just lifted the spring and now have them facing away from the drive shaft and now it’s awesome. I mean that has to be it because I haven’t changed it from stock at all. Let me know if it works for you and if it does just give me a shout out on a video. Good luck, I hope it works for you. 🤙🏻

@SpicyBurger Год назад

I had one of the pin retainer C-clips on the left rear driveshaft rotate and spit the pin halfway out. It locked up the wheel from spinning. No big deal though, took the wheel off, poked the pin back in and positioned the C-clamp properly. Hasn't happened since. I hope someone makes a better system for retaining those pins.

@vivos71 2 года назад

@theAessaya 2 года назад

The front shock tower poking/grinding through the bodyshell is also an issue for the 6S Kraton, and might be for the 4S if you bash it hard enough. Aside from foam pads just raising the bodyshell posts up one indent can help as well by giving it more clearance. Great review otherwise, thanks!

Important question! Can u make these 8s with the spektrum combo 180esc 1250kv?

@joseCalderon1976 2 года назад

Nice. Very nice. I usually don't trust just two battery straps. Is there a way to put another battery strap across the battery the long way? That usually fixes the battery straps breaking since the battery strap across helps in strength. That's what I do with my 8s Arrmas and even my 6s Arrmas. I would put a piece of foam where the Outcast 4e body mount is damaging that body. That's why I kind of prefer the truggie bodies. They are protected better than the MT bodies. Hehe.

@alexmeador6739 Год назад

I went and bought the kraton 4s and the left rear driveshaft came undone do I have to take the whole differential apart to fix it

@jalee6587 2 года назад

They finally fixed the crappy plastic leaky shock problem with the big bore shocks upgrade. Now they need to seal the spur gear casing so dirt doesn't get in to shred the spurs.after that then I think these will then be the best in class cars. I had the senton and the plastic driveshaft melting, leaky plastic shocks, stripped spur gear. Servo getting jammed by rocks diff input shafts breaking. The senton was a pretty crappy truck. Hope they fixed most of these issues.

Nice! Congrats on wanting to get into r/c. For this Kraton 4S BLX, we used this battery: www.amainhobbies.com/gens-ace-bashing-pro-4s-lipo-battery-pack-120c-14.8v-6800mah-gea68004s12e5/p1331197 The Kraton 4S BLX is also compatible with less powerful batteries, like a 3S LiPo. Less power, easier to drive, and less wear and tear. For the entire Kraton family, battery compatibility is: Kraton 8S BLX is compatible with 8S (2x 4S) and 6S batteries; Kraton 6S BLX is compatible with 6S and 4S batteries; Kraton 4S BLX is compatible with 4S and 3S batteries.

@thejeepinrealtor5742 2 года назад

Surprised at how close in size these are to the 6s EXB. Bet they end up being a tougher truck in stock form. But is the 4s Kraton as fun as the 6s EXB? I kinda doubt it. What say you?

@AMain_Hobbies 2 года назад

It's as fun, but not as capable. The extra size and weight from the 6S trucks helps increase stability in really harsh, rough terrain. For more street style bashing, the plastic based 4S truck would be ideal. Which is tougher? They're both pretty darn tough! -Brett

Cool video. That Outcast looks rather hyper when hitting the throttle. 😎 What’s the comparable between the Kraton and the Traxxas WIDEMaxx V2? Id be interested to hear your thoughts if you don’t mind sharing. Thank you for the video and your time.

@AMain_Hobbies Год назад

The shorter chassis is to thanks for that "hyper" nature; it's very reactive. Between Kraton 4S and WideMaxx V2, they're very similar platforms and both are exceptional. One big difference between them is the chassis, with the WideMaxx having a higher, more monster truck stance, and the Kraton is very low like a race truck. In one way, the Kraton will hug the ground a little more when corning and turning, but the Maxx has more chassis clearance. There are a lot of other minor differences too, like the clipless body and battery compartment on the Maxx are easier and more convenient to use, but these are personal preferences. Honestly, they're both great trucks. -Brett

@flhandster4395 Год назад

@@AMain_Hobbies Too many variable to consider. 🤣 Thank you though for your time and detailed explanation. What about warranty differences, and is that something you’d seriously take into consideration?

@AMain_Hobbies Год назад

@@flhandster4395 Both companies will take care of you if something comes broken on the car when new, typically an electronic component (although it's rare). Traxxas offers a telephone number to call for support, while Arrma provides email support only. Ideally, you shouldn't have to ever contact either though. Parts support is great for both, and you'd flip the bill for any parts broken while driving, tires coming unglued, shocks that blow out, links that bend, etc. It's a high-performance machine, it happens. -Brett

Here in NZ the prices are so close between the 4s and 6s, 100-150 NZD difference and the Typhon 6s is $50 cheaper than a Kraton 4s. The Typhon is a tank and IMO the best around RC you can buy. I bash the snott out of mine and race it at the local track as well.

@AMain_Hobbies 2 года назад

I'm sorry Dave, I feel for you guys in Australia. Prices tend to be higher for r/c in AU and I'm not really sure why. In the states, the V1 trucks went on market in 2019 for $399 USD and never increased in price. Now 2022, and the V2 trucks are $469, which isn't too bad considering all the chassis and electronic updates, if you can get it for that price. Is it any cheaper to have a friend in the states buy it and ship it to you? I'm unfamiliar with what customs fees are like, so maybe it's not. -Brett
