Thank you Brother 🤗

Thanks so very much Brother 🤗. This truck might be worth saving up for if it's in the budget. Been trying to get Andrew back out bashing, but I'm competing for his time with his friends and other interests. We've been hiking and fishing together lately 😍. Hope you had a great Christmas and awesome New Year too my friend!!!

@@richduperbash2966 rich that’s awesome! It doesn’t matter what you and Andrew are doing as long as you’re doing something together. I hope as my daughter grows up, we are able to do fun stuff together. It’s definitely been a change, having full custody of her and having to try and fill both roles. yeah it will take me a while to save up but I’m gonna try and get that truck truck for sure. When I still had all my cara and trucks My favorite truck I ever owned was my Kraton 6s with m2c goodies and a max6 combo.

Was this run on 6s ?

So awesome to see your comment Brother 😱🤙🤙. Love the sound of wheels on the concrete. Hope you get back out for some fun. I've been chilling out recovering from hernia surgery, but should be back to 100% soon. 🍻

Thanks so much Brother and Happy New Year to you too🤗🚀🚀

Agree 100% Kimberly 😍. ARRMA hit a serious home run with this new EXB. Definitely saved the best for last in 2023 😱. Merry Christmas and Happy New year my friend 😘😘

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. Truly appreciate the support. 🍻

Thank you Brother 🤗

Thanks Brother and happy bashing 🍻🤙🤙

Thanks so much Brother Avery 🤗. ARRMA put some great engineering into this one. Grateful to slip out to the skatepark before the rain hit. It was cold and slick, but fun as always. 🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

After watching him drive at the skate park I feel this should be an Olympic sport like gymnastics with a point system guess who taking home the Gold, Rich

Thanks so much for the kind words Brother 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thank you Brother 🤗. Appreciate the kind words 🍻

Thanks so much Ervin 🤗. After a quiet first part of 2023, ARRMA dropped some big ones to close out the year 😱. Stoked to see the progression and without an insane asking price. Happy holidays to you too Brother!!! 🍻

Thanks so very much Brother 🤗

Yes indeed Brother 😱. ARRMA did a fantastic job with this version 🍻

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. Truly appreciate it. 😎💪👊👊

ARRMA meant business with this one Brother 😱. Absolutely stoked to see the progression. Alloy bulkheads are like a dream come true 👀. Hope we can connect again soon John. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Steve 🤗. ARRMA definitely put some thought and solid engineering into this one. Happy New Year Brother!!! 🍻

Thanks so much Phil 🤗. It's pretty incredible how far ARRMA has progressed. This latest EXB RTR is impressive no doubt 👀

Yes indeed Phil 😱. ARRMA stepping up once again 🚀🚀

Thank you Brother 🤗. This is the best EXB by far 😱

Thanks so very much Jason 🤗. I honestly think the Kraton's are the best do it all rigs too. I would grab one up. Props to you for supporting your local shops 😍

Yeah I think they nailed it with this one. The K8s is an absolute beast. It's nice having the 6s too for all around ripping. 🍻

So How does this Kraton 6s exb v2 rtr compare to the Kraton 8s exb v2 rtr? Try to find which is best or if there both very good 😂

Both really good , the 8s is huge though so it’s naturally a better ground pounder , if you’re into stunting go 6s . IMO you don’t want to go nuts with 8s till you’re good with the 6s .

Thanks so much Michael 🤗. Still getting use to her, but she handles great overall right out of the box. Cheers my friend 🍻

Thank you Brother 😁. Stoked I could get out to the skatepark again 🍻

Thanks so very much my friend 🤗

Thanks so much for the kind words Brother 🤗. Very impressed with this latest version. ARRMA truly stepped it up this year. 🍻

Thank you Brother and Happy New Year 😱🚀🚀

@@richduperbash2966 Happy new year to you to! Best wishes and many bashes to come

Thanks so much Brother 👊. ARRMA's closing out 2023 with a bang 🚀🚀🤙

Thanks so very much Brother David 🤗. I noticed even more awesome upgrades and updates after closer inspection 👀. ARRMA included an alloy center diff support for the front bearing (vs the old plastic one) and replaced the rear camber link mount at the tower (old M3 nut and screw) with a flared ball mount so the link can't pop off the swivel ball. I keep finding hidden gems with this new EXB 😍. It's clear ARRMA was set on making this the toughest Kraton RTR ever. Truly appreciate the kind words my friend and have a great New Year!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 woooow brother, great news about arrma, these new things you explained to me are interesting, I'm really curious to see them with my own eyes, yes you are right, as you say they really wanted to make a tank this time. thanks to you my friend, a happy new year to you and your family too👊👊😉😉🥳🥳🥳🥳

Thanks so very much Brother 🤗. I truly think ARRMA nailed it this time around. Appreciate the kind words my friend 😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😁

Thanks so much Brother Aldo 🤗. I genuinely feel bad for anyone that chooses the Sledge over this. Traxxas completely exaggerated the durability and blew it when engineering their motor mount. Truly a recipe for disaster with those cheap powder gears. This new EXB is a WAY better value considering everything ARRMA threw at it 😱. Can't wait for better weather to get back out. Have an awesome New Year's my friend!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thank you Brother 😁

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. I felt mostly in the zone with this new Beast until my blood sugar dumped off at the end 🤣. Kinda forgot to eat before heading out, but it was mad fun as always. Truly appreciate the kind words my friend. 🍻🤙🤙

@richduperbash2966 Oh man ive been there😏 Be safe out there🍻

Thanks so very much dear Brother Thomas 😍. The alloy bulkheads, new top brace, new rear brace design, and beefy wing mount are perfect upgrades 😱. The servo saver and beefcake composite ball cups are like icing on the cake. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and the best New years ever my friend ❤❤

Thanks John 😁. Happy New Year Brother 🍻

Thanks so very much Mikeil 🤗. So awesome to hear your boys love the Kraton 😍. Appreciate the kind words and have a great New Year's 🍻🚀🚀

Thanks so much Chad 🤗. Happy New Year Brother 🍻

Thanks so much Jay 😁. Happy New Year's Brother 🍻

Thanks so much for the kind words my friend 🤗

Thanks so much Brother 🤗

@@richduperbash2966 i run a futaba 4pm radio. I really want to run that with this Kraton. I hear everybody talking about “punch”. I just want to make sure I will still have all the adjustment capabilities if I don’t use the stock radio and receiver. Im new to RCs. Thanks for your help

​@@FishHardGetLuckythe Futaba should work fine. The punch is programmable via ESC settings and shouldn't be affected by the controller. Not certain how compatible the stock receiver is with Futaba though.

@@richduperbash2966 if i want to run an extra fan on the motor.. How many receiver inputs do i need?

@FishHardGetLucky you could get a 4 port receiver or run a split connection adapter for the ESC fan and plug the motor fan to it. Personally, I only care about motor fans with my over geared street bashers. My regular bashers don't need motor fans. Better to use appropriate gearing and wheel selection to keep motor temps around 150F max. That's plenty safe for brushless motors. 🍻

Thank you Brother 😁

Thanks so very much my friend 🤗. ARRMA nailed it with the updates 🍻

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. This new King 6s sets a new benchmark for the 1/8 bashers 😱🚀🚀

Thanks so very much 😁

That's awesome you've had good luck with yours 👍. I've had to replace the bulkheads and ring gears several times before upgrading. The stock chassis was very tweaked before I converted to M2C and the stock hinge pins and holders aren't great. A-arms are absolutely stout 💪. I think some of the hate arose from Traxxas exaggerating the durability, particularly when they compared it to the Kraton 6s. The Sledge motor mount design was the biggest let down in my opinion. I don't want to completely slam the Sledge, but it was super hyped for the price. 🍻

Thanks Brother 😁. I'm finally using a GoPro Hero 7 black that was hidden in my office. Definitely not as shaky as my old Hero 4 😂

Thank you Brother 🙂

Me too , even though I have a handful of swb builds , I prefer the swb . Ultimately my favorite rc

Thank you Brother 🤗

Thank you Brother 🤗

@@richduperbash2966 your welcome!!

Thanks Paul 🤗

Thank you Brother 🤗. Happy New Year 🎉

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. Listening to and acting upon basher feedback is almost unheard of in the industry, except with ARRMA 😱. They just keep hitting home runs. Congrats on your awesome fleet my friend and have a great New Year's. 🍻

@@richduperbash2966 thanks man yeah I done a bit of shuffling some old stuff out I didn't run an ended up with twice as many lol.... love the hobby ARRMA is the best for sure Happy new year to you an your family my friend

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. Happy New Year 😱🚀🚀🍻

Thanks so much Brother 👊. The suspension feels very nice overall. Really prefer these bladderless, emulsion style set-ups. Not sure if you're running VG Racing springs, but those with M2C Racing "S series"caps and pistons with heavier oil is a great option. NorCal keeping it real. 🍻😎💪👊👊

So I put heavier springs on it but I believe they’re Traxxas brand. I used the m2c pistons and some 80wt oil front and back but at that time nobody had released any emulsion style caps so I went with the rubber bladder. They just don’t quite work how I’d like em to. I’ll definitely look into those suggestions thanks Rich!

That’s like putting a Chevy motor in a ford 😂 , rich I’m going slap outcast 6s shocks in the 4s guy today , I may have to go back to your old videos for the spacers , I just ordered from a main last night and forgot all about that truck .

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. I'm done buying pricey lipos. Been running Ovonic AIR 5200mah 100c single 6s packs and Zeee 4000mah 100c (smaller than recommended but works). I try and grab them on sale off Amazon often in pairs for a better price. There's so many brands out there. Compact 6s packs are my preferred. I try and find lighter packs in the 600g range to not weigh the rigs down too badly.

They're both very fun with lots of potential. The XRT is more Kraton K8s in terms of size 👀. Just realize the XRT needs a fair amount of upgrades to make durable vs the K6s EXB being stout right out of the box.

Agreed 100% Brother 👊. I love my Jackhammr, but it's far from a stock Sledge now and doesn't have much Traxxas left 🤣. This new K6s EXB is leaps ahead in the value category 🚀🚀

Yes but you can buy the complete bulkheads now treal for 50 bucks , I wonder if arrma partnered with them for these diffs , treal still has the 100$ ones on there site , maybe little more quality, idk . I’m sure you already have a kraton so why not something new 😂

I agree though with the little upgrades but a lot of these parts like the wheels body are already mass produced so it’s easier for them to give more value , and the kraton is there bread and butter and always the first to have revisions , maybe they’ll make a exb brcc next , they should’ve charged 729.00 with a better radio or 800 with better radio and the metal bulkheads but that’s all marketing strategies, they know what they’re doing

Thanks so much Brother Aaron 🤗. The Big Rock is a great looking 1/7th, but I see way more value with this new K6s EXB 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. I'm fairly certain these bulkheads are compatible across the entire 6s line. The mounting points all appear unchanged.

Thanks so much Josh 👊. This version is way more than just new graphics on the body. The updates are absolutely huge 😱👀. Speaking about value, there's zero chance I will get an XMaxx Ultimate. 1500$ is ridiculous especially considering they didn't upgrade the gears, electronics, or drivetrain. I think Traxxas is a huge marketing machine and feel the Ultimate is just another money grab. 🍻

@richduperbash2966 that's funny. You took the words right out of my mouth. Arrma has been listening to everyone, including the little guy's. I am an rc guy till the end, not brand loyal, but I will say that for the money and performance, arrma has my money.

Yeah it's a bummer. I still can't understand why. It would help their long term objectives to involve customers in the discussion.

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. I was running the 16T pinion (always do with these 2050kv motors). The truck is still fast with the stock 13T, but the electronics can handle 16T no problem and I like the extra speed and wheelspin for pulling flips. I mentioned it during the street portion, but started laughing because she wheelied up when I was talking 😂

@@richduperbash2966 Can't wait to see what else you do with this new Kraton 6S, Subbed!

It's usually the small logo on the receiver. It's actually a tab/button you can press.

You bet Chris 🤗. Sounds like the rear input cup popping loose. Not sure if you've tried it, but try cleaning the grub screw, cup threads, and input shaft thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol before using Permatex Orange thread locker on the grub. This works awesome if you give it 20+ hours of set time.

@@richduperbash2966 hilarious !! I did exactly that , but have not run it yet , been drying for three days , it just can't come off , it's on there good this time , thanx so much for your response !

@@chrisryder4709 you bet Brother and good luck. Should stay on now 🤙

It's not too much for a first basher 🤗. You could start on 4s if you prefer, but 6s is more fun and you'll get the hang of it quickly 🍻

Thanks so much my friend 🤗. I just run my off-road tires. The ARRMA dboots compound is fairly durable.

@@richduperbash2966thanks!

I'm not sure, but my best guess would be the aluminum bulkheads. I've been told they require a 5 axis CNC machine (which is very costly) plus a large piece of alloy to produce. That said, the standard 8s rigs were 899$ vs 999$ USD for the EXB. RC pricing fluctates over time, but the EXB models have better components and that's reflected in the price.

Well I absolutely love both the K8s and K6s 😍. For all around bashing the 6s is faster, can take more abuse being lighter, and can be run safely and loaded up easily just about anywhere. Both are fantastic, but the 6s is a must have in the arsenal in my opinion.🍻

I was running Zeee 4000mah 100c compact single 6s packs I grabbed on sale off Amazon. They're smaller than recommended for the electronics (usually atleast 5000mah) but they perform well and only weigh around 600g. I gave up on pricier lipos because none of them lasted longer or performed any better. I like graphenes for their discharge ability, but they're generally too heavy for my liking.

@@richduperbash2966 appreciate the information.
