ARRMA RC Truck KRATON 4X4 8S BLX 1/5 Speed Monster Truck Black, RTR (Transmitter and Receiver Included, Batteries and Charger Not Included), ARA5808V2T1

If you want one of the best ever built, this is the one, tough, fast, fun, out of the box it is very impressive no need to upgrade it's set up very well.

What's not to love about this thing. Big, heavy and powerful. Got it 4 months ago and have run her maybe 15 packs. No issues that can't be fixed with the included tools.

ARRMA Kraton 8S has to be the best RC vehicle in the world. I sent this truck off a jump a distance of 87 feet, landed on cement, and drove away like nothing. The sound of that landing sounded like a gun shot echoed through the park canyon. I’m literally trying to break this thing and it won’t break. ARRMA made it so your RC doesn’t break anymore if you run into something, but God help whatever you run into. I did break a couple minor easy to replace parts after beating this RC up a lot, but that was totally expected and I intended to push this to the breaking point. If you plan on just racing and hitting just regular jumps at the track, you will never break this RC. Thank you ARRMA!!! I won’t buy any other brand now!!!

Lot of fun. On the expensive side but worth it, if you’re into RC cars and bashers. Plenty of speed and power. Comes with all the necessary upgrades already installed, although there is still room for improvement. Compared to different brands, this one comes with an aluminum chassis, opposed to most having a plastic chassis. So for the money, you actually feel like you’re receiving something substantial, opposed to engineered plastic. It’s really fast too. But yourself a wheelie bar, you will need it.

Arrma's 6s Kraton is my absolute favorite RC of all time but the 8s is also excellent! I have owned well over 100 RC cars. I currently have somewhere between 70 to 80 I would guess. I've owned more than a dozen Kratons, in all of their various sizes. This is one of the funnest, most durable, extremely capable and overall great value of any RC car for heavy bashing. I have abused these vehicles. I mean abused! To the point that if they were alive, I would be arrested without a doubt and locked away for many, many decades lol. When you take them to the skate park and hit a quarter pipe at 50+ MPH, they defy gravity and physics! There's something amazing about a nearly indestructible RC car! I send mine vertically at over 50 miles an hour, heading to the moon! It can land absolutely horribly and most likely, you'll be able to do it a bunch of times before you break something, if at all. When you gain some skill with air control (this car is excellent at handling in the air, almost as good as the Notorious 6s), you will be able to land on all fours absorbing forces and extending the life of your nearly immortal RC car. Don't get me wrong, you will break stuff. But if you're used to something like Traxxas you can unbuckle your seatbelt and breathe now, you found Arrma! You can now spend much less money on better products. You will not be having to repair nearly as often and although upgrading is fun it is not necessary with Arma like it is with Traxxas.

Many common/known manufacturing defects. Breaks OFTEN due to weight. NOT durable.

It's HUGE. This is a beast of a truck. It was received timely and in perfect condition. This is an adult model and should be treated as such. It big, heavy and fast. It can do some damage in the wrong hands.

The car is good overall, but the servo is bad on these; it got weak very quickly after a couple of hours of use

La plataforma 1/5 de arrma simplemente es la mejor, muy fácil de trabajar en ella, y muy robusta. Es una máquina impresionante. Le sobra potencia, tiene mucha estabilidad en piso así como en el aire. En un mes de uso, saltos, pista y bashing medio, no he roto nada, y he tenido algunos aterrizajes muy malos, cómo se ven en los videos. Lo único es que hay que revisar todo el carro antes de correrlo, ajustar todos los tornillos, el mesh del piñón, y si pueden enlainar los diferenciales, aunque lo corrí algunos pack stock antes de que llegaran mis shims de Ali express y no tuve mingun problema.

Absolute Monster! My only complaint is that for over $1700 Canadian BEFORE tax this Demon should come with belted tires. I see those tires BALLOON BIGTIME as soon as I crank the throttle & I'm a full throttle kind of basher. It's only a matter of time till they rip. I use two 4s CNHL 6200 mAh racing batteries https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0C6LVM1TV?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title & I get about 7 minutes of full throttle donuts, speed runs, Catwalks. I run it in a large gravel lot that's about 300 feet x 50 feet so I'm full speed all the time. This is NOT your average RC, it's MASSIVE, reading the measurement doesn't do it justice until it's in your face . When I put in the trunk of my car I have to put my Maxx & Typhon in the back seat. Should be noted that due to it's size, weight & power this unit is extremely dangerous if used carelessly.

This Arrma 8s rig is a monster, if you are looking for a large scale RC basher you can not go wrong with this RC. When purchased it was at a competitive price so make sure to watch instore pricing and compare to here. arrived in perfect condition, no damage to shipping box or product box. All you need to do is add a couple 4s batteries and you are up and running.

What a beast! This machine is ridiculous, powerful, looks awesome, fun to drive. I was on the fence for a couple months, should have bought it sooner.

The thing is a monster. Dont get it unless you have room to run it its huge. My only complaint is the spoiler is brittle, and it makes my other cars seem slow.
