Rated 3 stars Kraton 6s
By Scott S on September 25, 2023

Got me a Arrma Kraton 6s it’s my first Arrma I have a Traxxas Sledge Hoss E-Revo 2.0 and out of the box and it’s between a Sledge or Kraton 6s the Traxxas quality is easily 4 out of 5 and the Kraton 6s 2–1/2 3. Durability Traxxas Sledge takes it power goes to the Kraton hands down price is better value with the Arrma Kraton 6s Traxxas is very pricey but they both have weak servos the Kraton is a little better. If you get the Arrma Kraton get GPM A-arms and a servo mount. And the bottom chassis brace. I’m running a Spektrum 6s 6800mah 120c pro basher lipo but it’s a beast happy with it
