🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.

The ARRMA RC truck has garnered high praise for its durability, speed, and capability to handle all terrains right out of the box. Whether it's surviving a collision with a real vehicle or offering exhilarating speed and power that's not typically expected from RC vehicles, this truck appears to stand up to the challenge. Although it shines in performance and resilience, it does have its drawbacks, particularly in its maintenance and the initial quality of some components.

Pros

  • 🚀 Exceptional durability, capable of withstanding high impact scenarios
  • 💨 High speed and power, offering an exhilarating experience
  • 🔄 All-terrain capability, making it versatile for various environments
  • 📐 Adjustable and feature-rich controls for personalized driving
  • ⚙️ Relatively simple to work on, thanks to its modular design

Cons

  • 🔩 Factory-applied red threadlocker complicates disassembly for maintenance
  • 🛑 Sloppy steering due to an overly flexible and non-adjustable servo saver
  • 🔧 Servos and motors may require immediate upgrades to avoid failure

Should I Buy It?

If you're seeking an RC truck that combines speed, power, and the ability to handle rough play, the ARRMA is a strong contender. While it does require some upfront tweaks and potential upgrades, its performance and resilience are worth the effort for serious hobbyists. Just be prepared for some maintenance work to get it to your exact specifications.

Bought this for my son and I for Christmas. We ripped around the yard for a hour or two without missing a lick. It's fast, and so far durable. If i decide I don't like it I'll update my review.

First of all, THIS THING IS A BEAST! Watching the Amazon delivery guy carrying this huge box up my driveway brought a grin to my face like a 5 year old kid! First I’ll point out the absolute uncalled for oversights on an RC car of this caliber/price point. EVERY SINGLE BOLT AND NUT WAS LOOSE! front wheel nut was literally about to fall off. I went through and tightened everything right out if the box and literally every single bolt and screw was loose. And with all the issues reported of steering servos frying out, it’s absolutely unbelievable that there’s nothing in the manual about setting the servo end point adjustment! This thing was set WAY TOO HIGH putting unnecessary strain on the servo, I went through and readjusted following a YouTube video on how to do it. No included front bumper or wheelie bar is kind of a punch in the gut when shelling out this much cash on an RC. I mean seriously, how much would it have possibly cost them to include these two plastic parts!? Petty stinginess imo to make the customer have to go out and buy these parts that should be standard equipment on the truck. Also, there’s a lot of people complaining about turning radius being terrible but I haven’t had any issues, in fact I was driving It in the tight confines of my backyard making turns just fine manipulating the brake to help aid digging into a tight turn. I’ll update this review as time goes on but initial impressions are great. This thing absolutely rips right out of the box! My street in under construction at the moment which is perfect timing to have this truck. I’m having a blast ripping up and down the street. This thing makes some serious noise at WOT and with the loud tires resonating at speed, it’s impossible not to have a grin from ear to ear while driving this thing. I’d hate to get hit in the shins by this thing at WOT. Probably take a leg clean off! This thing is definitely not a toy and could cause some MAJOR damage to people, pets, property etc adult supervision mandatory ... show more

Where do I begin? This thing is good. Like really, REALLY good. I just got into the RC car hobby after a friend of mine from high school mentioned RC cars to me and then took me to try some of them (he himself has been 20+ years into the RC thing). The same evening I'm online looking at my new hobby: RC cars. I quickly began my journey by purchasing a few cheaper RC car options on Amazon, but ended up feeling underwhelmed; fast forward to me getting the ARRMA Big Rock two days days later and liking every minute of running that thing, it was great. Now another 2 weeks have gone by and this monster arrives at my doorstep. Whoa. This is on another level: BIG, heavy, aggressive, loud (open middle diff), intimidating, all of the above. This thing rips and everyone around wants to know what it is and where they can purchase one... The pictures show the Kraton 6S compared to the Big Rock and some accessories being installed (I highly recommend the following ---> AR320366 Wheelie Bar Set ; ARRMA Super Basher Front Bumper EXB ARA320573 ; ARRMA Motor Heatsink 4074, ARA390299 ; Front Bumper and Skid Plate ARRMA Kraton 6S RPM81812 (PUTTING THIS ON THE BACK!). Last 2 pictures are with different tires since I tend to run almost exclusively on asphalt. One last thing, make sure to set the servo endpoints prior to running, some have mentioned issues with their servo burning out without doing this prior to running it and I did immediately out of the box and can report the servo has survived 20+ 4S and 6S runs. Cheers and enjoy. ... show more

    • Fast, Durable RC Truck!
Color: Red
Great build quality, fast car, plenty of power! Definitely great for the desertscape and open areas. The only downside was the steering quality, and after playing with it for 2 weeks or so. About an hour and a half or 2 hours of play time total, the truck is stuck in reverse steering. Not sure if the remote is stuck in reverse steering (checked the switch multiple times, did nothing.) Or something is off with the servo or receiver. Didn't contact any water or harsh drops. So I might have to buy a new remote/receiver or servo. Not used to using rc's in reverse steering. ... show more

    • Fast and durable
Color: Blue
This car is fast and durable! We did some crazy jumps with lots of hard crashes and nothing broke. Nothing at all. I’m impressed and very happy with this car. I also have an E-revo 2.0 and the Kraton was more durable out of the box in my opinión. Both are Similar as far as speed and handling, but I had to put a lot of money into the erevo for the Same durability as the Kraton had out of the box. The body clips are tight, really tight and a pain in the .... I like the body system and durability of the E-revo body much better, hands down, but the rest of the Kraton is better out of the box. Especially the battery tray. You have many more battery options because the battery tray is larger and can accommodate more types and sizes of HARD CASE batteries. Running the soft shell/case batteries like Traxxas uses (and it’s the only type that fit in E-revos) in the sand leaves pits in the shell of the soft batteries. Where I live and drive in desert terrain, soft shell/case batteries don’t make me feel comfortable after they get pitted so quickly and easily. I’m worried about damaging them to the point of fire/explosion. The Kraton being able to use hard case batteries to me is much better in desert terrains. I still like other things about my E-revo, but I have to say if I was only buying one of the two as a basher, I would buy the Kraton. Time will tell if I still feel that way in the future, because it’s my first Arrma and I don’t have any experience with their customer service or parts availability/prices. But out of the box with the first drive, I love the Kraton 6S V5. I will update if I find any problems. I was running with dual Zeee 7200mah 3S Lipo batts that was also purchased from Amazon. Pleased with the combination for speed and battery run time for the price. ... show more
