ARRMA KRATON 6S BLX V6 1/8 4WD RTR Brushless Speed Monster Truck

The ARRMA KRATON 6S BLX V6 is a high-performance 1/8 scale 4WD brushless speed monster truck designed for extreme bashing, big jumps, high-speed off-road driving and serious all-terrain performance.

The ARA8608V6 combines the proven KRATON platform with upgraded EXB-inspired durability components, a powerful Spektrum brushless system and a new clipless body retention system.

Powered by a Spektrum FIRMA 4074 2050Kv 4-pole brushless motor and Spektrum FIRMA 150A Smart ESC, the KRATON delivers 4S performance that is easier to manage for newer drivers while providing 65+ mph / 104 km/h capability on 6S under suitable conditions.

Powerful 6S Brushless System

The KRATON V6 uses a Spektrum FIRMA 4074 2050Kv 4-pole brushless motor paired with a Spektrum FIRMA 150A Smart ESC.

The system is compatible with both 4S and 6S LiPo batteries.

4S provides strong, controllable performance for drivers who are new to the 6S platform, while 6S unleashes the full power of the KRATON for extreme acceleration, wheelies, jumps and high-speed bashing.

The Smart ESC provides telemetry when paired with compatible Spektrum Smart equipment and features programmable throttle punch, braking, motor timing and other settings.

65+ MPH Performance

With a suitable 6S LiPo battery and appropriate gearing, the KRATON V6 is capable of 65+ mph / 104 km/h.

The long-wheelbase 1/8 scale chassis, large tyres and low centre of gravity provide stability at high speed while the 4WD drivetrain delivers strong traction across dirt, grass, gravel and other suitable off-road surfaces.

EXB-Inspired Durability

The KRATON V6 incorporates several upgraded components developed from ARRMA's Extreme Bash platform.

The chassis uses a strong 3 mm 6061-T6 aluminium plate, supported by a reinforced centre brace.

The vehicle also features strengthened suspension components, updated drivetrain parts and taller composite side guards designed to provide additional protection from dirt, rocks and debris.

These upgrades make the KRATON V6 better equipped to withstand repeated jumps, hard landings and aggressive bashing.

Heavy-Duty 4WD Drivetrain

The KRATON features a robust 4WD drivetrain designed to handle the high torque generated by the 6S brushless system.

The drivetrain uses three oil-filled gear differentials and durable steel driveshafts.

Heavy-duty metal drivetrain components provide improved durability under high-power operation.

The 1.0 MOD drivetrain gearing is designed specifically for the demands of the large 1/8 scale platform.

Clipless Quick-Release Body

A major V6 feature is the new clipless body retention system.

The updated KRATON body can be removed and installed quickly without traditional body clips, providing easier access to the chassis and electronics.

The system also gives the truck a cleaner appearance while reducing the chance of losing body clips during hard driving.

Taller Composite Side Guards

The V6 KRATON features taller composite side guards designed to provide improved protection against dirt and debris.

The side guards help shield the chassis, drivetrain and electronics during aggressive off-road driving.

Independent Suspension

The KRATON uses fully independent suspension with large oil-filled coil-over shocks.

The aluminium shock bodies provide smooth and consistent damping while the large suspension arms allow the truck to absorb jumps and rough terrain.

The front and rear shock towers provide multiple mounting positions for suspension tuning.

Factory shock oil is 1300 cSt.

dBoots COPPERHEAD 2 Tyres

The KRATON V6 is equipped with large dBoots COPPERHEAD 2 tyres.

The aggressive tread pattern provides traction on dirt, grass, gravel and other off-road surfaces.

The tyres have a diameter of approximately 169 mm and are mounted on durable wheels using 17 mm wheel hexes.

Spektrum Radio System

The KRATON V6 includes a Spektrum SLT3 3-channel 2.4GHz transmitter and Spektrum SR315 dual-protocol receiver.

The transmitter includes adjustable throttle limiting, allowing drivers to select 50%, 75% or 100% throttle.

This provides a useful way for newer drivers to become familiar with the KRATON before moving to full 6S power.

The SR315 supports both SLT and DSMR protocols.

High-Torque Steering Servo

The KRATON V6 is fitted with a Spektrum S665 high-torque waterproof digital steering servo with a steel gear train.

The S665 provides strong steering torque suitable for the large 1/8 scale platform and the high loads generated by aggressive off-road driving.
