Overview
ARRMA® engineers have actually outfitted the KRATON™ 6S BLX 4WD with a brushless power system that now includes the Spektrum™ Firma™ 150A Smart ESC and Firma™ 2050Kv brushless motor. The mix provides extraordinary torque, velocity and speed. Durable aluminum and steel chassis and transmission parts take it all in its stride. For enhanced steering, ARRMA® also includes a brand-new, steel equipment Spektrum™ S652 Digital Servo which is 32% stronger and 5% faster than the previous variation's ADS-15M servo. Include your favorite 4S or six LiPo battery and watch this beast truck smash your speed expectations — up to 60+ MPH in maximum conditions with a 6S LiPo battery and the included optional speed pinion gear.
The ready-to-run package now also includes a 3-channel Spektrum™ SLT3™ radio and Spektrum™ SR315 dual protocol receiver. Perfect for long hours of fatigue-free slamming, the transmitter's ergonomic design includes a foam guiding wheel for accurate fingertip control and an improved hand grip and trigger feel. If you're a brand-new motorist, you'll have the ability to set throttle limitations at 50% or 75% until you're ready to use the complete speed capacity. The SLT3™ works with Technique® SLT™ receivers to run other RTR automobiles you might own, and includes a third channel to control optional features such as lights and winches on designs that have them. Since the SR315 receiver can use SLT™ and DSMR® protocols, you can easily update to a Spektrum™ DSMR® transmitter later — then, download the free Spektrum™ Dashboard™ app for your mobile device and make the most of the Smart telemetry abilities currently present in the Firma™ electronic devices. You'll have the ability to receive real-time updates of ESC temperature level, receiver (BEC) voltage, drive pack voltage and motor RPM.
With adjustable oil-filled shocks absorbing the bumps, the KRATON™ 6S BLX 4WD Speed Beast Truck blasts over dirt, asphalt and lawn — all surface and all conditions. The shocks are mounted on black-anodized aluminum towers. Multi-split-spoke wheels come outfitted with super-aggressive, multi-surface dBoots® COPPERHEAD 2™ tires. A high downforce wing assists keep the car grounded. Whatever in the design contributes to positive control and responsive handling at high speeds.
For the resilience required to support extreme brushless performance, ARRMA® uses a strengthened anodized aluminum chassis as the structure for the KRATON™ 6S BLX 4WD. A center body assistance, aluminum center brace and composite chassis side pods include more strength. All-metal diff outdrives and gearbox internals, plus durable steel driveshafts, supply a dependable, durable drivetrain that holds up to severe, high-speed slamming. A "never ever loose" aluminum steering servo saver and "never ever pop" ball ends supply more precision, dependability and confidence.
ARRMA® holds your maintenance downtime to the minimum with an effective, driver-friendly design. A moving mount allows quick, hassle-free motor access. The center diff is easy to reach and can be eliminated by getting simply 7 bolts. Topping all of it off is a monster truck body with structured good looks, featuring an attractive red/black or blue/black trim and comprehensive decals.

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
