One of the biggest things with Arrma RCs is that the plastics are slightly brittle from the factory - hence the breakages you encountered. I haven't crashed my 6S Kraton EXB RTR V2 as badly as yours but I have sent it just as high and yet mine has never had a single part replaced or upgraded since I got it on Christmas Eve 2023. The secret is plastic conditioning... Since Arrma plastics are slightly brittle from the factory, I always set aside a few days to condition the plastics of any Arrma I buy. I use a product called Muck-Off MO-94. Its a modified PTFE coating used for UTVs and Mountain Biking. Essentially its WD-40 but dries and doesn't attract dirt after drying, instead leaving a dry slippery film behind. After doing any preparations (I install my own receiver for Futaba 7PXR and glue Yoga Mat in the battery tray as well as under the motor to protect from big impacts, then change diff fluids to my liking), I coat the entire truck in MO-94 and let it dry for 3 full days before I ever take the truck out for its first run. While the MO-94 is drying is a perfect time to re-enforce the Body with E-6000 and Cement Board Tape. MO-94 will soak into the plastics, conditioning them and softening them up slightly, making them closer to RPM plastics rather than Arrma plastics. It helps to do this conditioning once or twice per year after an extensive deep cleaning or full rebuild. I hope this info helps you with getting Factory-Stock plastics to hold up better!
I finally realized after a long time. Skate parks are great to bash on for big air and fun, but they totally F up your car.😂. Mostly in the dirt for me.
Yeah, the breakages are justified, since they were bad landings from very high distances. It was able to take several huge bad landings indeed. Thanks for the video 👍
This was an awesome show Max😎👊🏿 The Kid’dery between you and Kevin is now a staple welcome bro🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing Can’t wait to see what the upgrades do😉
I had a kraton 8s and every single time I took it out some sort of suspension part broke 😢…..I think every drive axle shaft broke at least twice over my 3 months of owning it…it never got huge air either ….maybe 10 ft off the ground. Sick of fixing it all the time so after the last repair I sold it….put the money towards an Xmaxx….we’ll see how that goes 😂. Great video ….very entertaining cause it’s not my rig breaking 😅😅😅😅
I wish I would’ve waited a little bit longer to get my EXB. Looks like Arrma has sorted a lot out again.. they’re gonna have the perfect basher after a while. Good video max.👍🏼💪🏻🔥☄️💥
Only as I use all the m2c parts on all of my other cars I thought to try something different as the viewers may like it But m2c all the way however both are great brand and I have used the kcrc ones in a bigrock and they are very strong and amazing quality like the m2c ones
Hey man. Why dont u do a comparison of the maxx slash and the kraton also do u use wd 40 the trick is to soak the plastics in water put then in the microwave and immediately soak them in wd 40 makes them 10 times stronger
Would you buy the newer version or the older version? one cost $699 and the other cost $479 right now. Would it just be better to buy the old version and buy that beefcake setup?
5:23 is the moment that I disliked the most this video. One could agree or not about the bashing at skatepark being too aggressive, but jumping on two feet on another's car, throwing them around or kicking them is in my opinion simply disrespecting the hobby itself. Glad that you have a genuine connection with Kevin but from a viewer perspective, it felt very childish.
A buddy broke his new Fireteam doing the same thing, sometimes your car just nosedives off a big jump and there's no amount of throttle that will save it.
Did you have a cold when you filmed this? No where near as madmax as usual. I was expecting a little more rdionkulous 🤣. Still cool video. Yeah prefer normal video. But live videos are ok too. Good banter. 👍🏻
@@nathan2000100 try putting some fuel tubing at the bottom of the shock shafts to stop it over compressing Also try the m2c shafts as they are 1mm longer
Just sold my Kraton 8S, broke way to easily, and seemed slow. Keep in mind i dont do big jumps, or skateparks. Taking the cash and buying the 6S with some what I call essential upgrades. IM not a Vitavon fanboy, so integy, or GPM for me.

Great vids man don’t listen to the people on Kevs channel saying your not good

Love the new spectrum setup. I kept the stock esc and fit a 4092 1730kv leopard motor 20t pinion.
5:25 That's not disrespect, that's love.
This was an awesome show Max😎👊🏿

@@marksrc-ri9jf yes definitely ok cool thank you
Live stream would lov it. Nice video max👏
Max..im subscribed..❤
I've just got a notorious I'm getting this as well stuff it lol looks really nice.
@@BuzzBuggiesRC they are amazing fun !!
I have the corally Kronos and the losi 8ight and there great.
Great video Fella..!! 🤟
cool video Max
You and Kevin are like two brothers separated at birth. LMFAO
You should make a video of the k8s. I wonder if it’ll hold up
Hey max you should try the team corally kagama it's a beast!! almost no upgrades needed.
I may have to give one a go at some point
I was wondering the same thing 😎💯
The Kagama is a beast. I got a RTR and fit a Max 6 G2 1650. You have to shave the shock tower arms a bit.
Good stuff, hopefully the RPM arms fare better.
Another awesome video buddy arm tough lol but it took some real abuse
You should make it 12s!
@@tinyrcguy that maybe an idea
Live or edited, just put on some trousers😁
Pushing it without gratuitously destroying it - Great Video!
damm kid, you can freaking drive when you want to. Impressive af
Thank you !!!
Thx max good vid 🎉❤
Your like "Sid" from Toy Story when it comes to RC cars
Dude what is that music at 11:00 ?? I recognize it from something a long time ago, help me out 😂
Normal video. Awesome run!
This is my first video watching you. I still think Kevin’s better.
A live stream would be cool 👌
When is he doing a upgrade video
Soon ha
Sick air I would like to see a build video 👌
Was this not released like 10 months ago?
WE NEED MORE 👍👌
Hi max could I ask why you went with the kc rc shock towers over the m2c ones thanks mate
Only as I use all the m2c parts on all of my other cars I thought to try something different as the viewers may like it
But m2c all the way however both are great brand and I have used the kcrc ones in a bigrock and they are very strong and amazing quality like the m2c ones
Thank you 👍
When do you think your next vids coming out
@@sk8lifefr hi there hopefully within the next couple days I have 3 videos which just need finishing off
@ ok thanks man for responding
Great Great channel 🤟🏻🤟🏻 normal Video
What do you think about the Scorched Titanium parts? should be the toughest!!??
I don’t think the plastics are getting worse. People just jump too high and they don’t know how to land right like you.
Live stream for sure. But try to make it around 6 est 😉
Hey man. Why dont u do a comparison of the maxx slash and the kraton also do u use wd 40 the trick is to soak the plastics in water put then in the microwave and immediately soak them in wd 40 makes them 10 times stronger
I chose the Traxxas sledge over the K6
Would you buy the newer version or the older version? one cost $699 and the other cost $479 right now. Would it just be better to buy the old version and buy that beefcake setup?
Build video. Well I don't care, I'm in Aus so a live will most likely be on at a stoopid time for me.
It’s so small and cute

Kev rage 🤣🤣😂😂
Extreme Bash, Breaks on first jump. Back to the drawing board Arrma
Landed on an arm lmfao. Grow up
A buddy broke his new Fireteam doing the same thing, sometimes your car just nosedives off a big jump and there's no amount of throttle that will save it.
@K5_RC aww did I hurt your feelings? We're talking about toys and u tell me to grow up 😅😂
@@SEEYAIAYE the traxxas xrt's are just as weak.

I've driven this car (hard) twice and both front drive cvds have bent and popped out. Its an annoyance
@@nathan2000100 try putting some fuel tubing at the bottom of the shock shafts to stop it over compressing
Also try the m2c shafts as they are 1mm longer
6:00 😂😂😂

Did Kevin skip his medication this morning?
Normal videos are better
Have you taken out an insurance policy on Kevin?
Anybody know that goof thief Farmerfpv?
You should try the Kagama , Max, it's tougher than the kraton out of the box.
@@Lander76 I may have to give one a go as a few people have mentioned them
@@Maddmax206 Yeah, the electronics are very good too!
You seem like a nice guy I hope you run them nice that Kevin t is a bad child that no one likes
They need to find a way to go clip less!😬
Haha mint ❤😅
