Our description
The ARRMA Kraton 6S V6 BLX (ARA8608V6) is a 1/8 4WD speed monster truck and one of the most popular bashers around. Powered by a Spektrum Firma 2050 kV brushless motor on a 150 A Smart V2 ESC, it exceeds 100 km/h per the manufacturer. It ships ready to run (RTR) including an SLT3 radio and a waterproof servo – but without battery and charger. It runs on 4S or 6S LiPo (IC5 connector); for 6S you need one or two powerful packs plus a capable charger – realistically €200–350 on top of the purchase price. The V6 is essentially a durability re-release of the V5: tougher EXB differentials (29 mm), reinforced diff cases and hinge-pin braces, a 7075 aluminium chassis plate and a clipless body mount. Spare parts and hop-ups are abundant. Reported weak points under hard use remain the differentials, wing mounts and A-arms. Honestly: despite RTR, full 6S power is not a beginner toy – on 4S it is far tamer and more controllable.
