Arrma Kraton 6S Basher
This Kraton 6s is a great, durable RC vehicle. “It” is built extremely tough. The only downside that I can find to this vehicle is, the esc seems to have some issues. Some of them are fine, however others are not so. There are several that come with I don’t know what you would say. Maybe defective! They seem fine and work well, then all of a sudden the esc burns up. That seems to be far and few in between.
Do you self a favor, and get a replacement esc as well. “I” just buy a roller chassis and install my own electronics and everything is great. The Arrma Kraton is an extremely powerful and quick R/C that is great for bashing.
Feel free to leave me your comments!
Wow! The Arrma Kraton looks like a big RC car. I like the looks of it, it does look tough and fast. It be be awesome to have this rc but the 6s battery along has to be expensive. Great article thanks.

Hi Dean,
Yes the Arrma Kraton is an 1/8 scale RC Truggy, so it is on the big side. As for the battery, it takes two 2s or 3s batteries. Batteries range in price depending on brand. The Arrma Kraton is designed to bash hard and built tough. Thank you
