Big rocks a fantastic motor don't be disheartened pal, and remember this kraton 4s is nearly 40% more expensive. I am saving for this car tho and watching Chris' vids on tuning it up (before 1st run) and the actual 1st run just gets me more excited.

Hi Chris, great video. The Kraton 4s is a rocket !!!! I wanted to ask though isn't there another location with more dirt in your area ? I only ask because I believe that it will unleash it's full potential. Alright I understand that it is winter and it rains a lot in the UK, but even a little bit of British mud would be quite a spectacle. 😁

Hey there buddy , well the MT8 is more weighty that’s for sure and also to be honest it’s more of a stunt truck we’re as this is a rocket on the floor and very stable . I adore my 4s arrmas but also have a soft spot for my MT8 . But pound for pound this is the better 4s truck 🛻 , but I will say with the way the price is in the Uk the mt8 offers the better bang for buck Hope that helped ? Stay awesome Chris

Thanks Chris, I picked up an Arm Big Rock as my first "decent" RC,, still learning to drive it well but I love it. There are great deals on the MT8 and I keep looking at it, I decided on the Big Rock simply because I got is less than 1 year old off eBay at a silly price with updated Arrma shocks, extra body shell and battery, don't regret buying it at all but do love the idea of having both the MT8 and Big Rock. :)@@ChriswithaCrc
