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

  • 💨 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.

    • Awesome so far but a lot of minor annoyances!

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

    • Ready to upgrade right out of the box
Color: Red
I've been running my Kraton 6S for about two weeks now, and it's finally been upgraded/repaired out of the box to the point where I finally like it. I own 10+ RCs so I would say my experience is intermediate, a 50mph basher feels right at home for me. The list of pros about this truck is very long, as it should be for a $560 basher. However, there are several cons as well which shouldn't exist at this price point, let alone any hobby grade RC, which I'll get to. Pros: * 6S power. Hits 50+mph right out of the box. It will wheelie and flip onto its lid if you mash the throttle. * All terrain basher. 1/8 size with chonker tires and 3+ inches of ground clearance means you can drive this anywhere. * Durable. I've crashed head first a couple times with no broken parts so far. * Very stable. Long, wide, and relatively low center of gravity make this really easy to drive and controllable at any speed. * Sway bars included. This prevents the truck from rolling over during hard turns, unless you intentionally want to flip it. * Programmable ESC. You can set the punch and brake settings. * Lots of features on the radio, such as throttle limit (50/75/100), servo endpoints, and steering rate. * Big battery tray with velco straps. This makes it easy to use a wide range of battery sizes. * Relatively easy to work on and modular design. Although I haven't taken the truck apart yet to work on it, it doesn't look too difficult. Cons: * Screws are set with red threadlocker from the factory. This makes it a HUGE pain to take apart and do basic maintenance/repair. Why would Arrma do this? Why not just use blue threadlocker? * Servo saver is way too flexible, nonadjustable, and red threadlocked together. This causes the steering to be extremely sloppy out of the box, leading to a huge turning radius on hard cornering or when driving offroad, since every little bump will cause the servo saver to flex and the wheels to straighten out again. This is a V4 and V5 issue, the previous Kratons did not have this design. * Servo not centered and endpoints not set from the factory. This is just laziness, and the not set endpoints have been leading to tons of failed servos only a few runs in. * Spektrum servo is crap. Mine died after two runs, although I suspect it could have been because I didn't set the endpoints first. * Spektrum Firma motor runs HOT. On a 40 degree day after 30 minutes of running on 6S, my motor was at 170 degrees, which is the absolute limit the motor should be running at. If it was a 70 degree day, the motor would've been well into the 200+ degree range and I'd have a fried motor. Recommended out of the box upgrades/repairs: * Set the servo endpoints. * Add shims to the servo saver spring to tighten the steering. * Get a heatsink and fan for the motor. * Add a wheelie bar. Don't get me wrong, I really like the Kraton so far. At 50mph it's really controllable and stable, which is saying a lot. Most of my trucks are 1/10th scale and once they get past 40mph they become wild and uncontrollable, and they get bumped around by rough terrain due to their smaller scale. The Kraton is easy to drive at any speed on any terrain (once you fix the sloppy steering), tough, and easy to work on. ... show more
