- RC Pit-Stop EP32 - ARRMA Kraton 6S Rebuild & Power Upgrades
My ARRMA Kraton has been among one of the best RCs in my collection and because it has been so heavily used, I figured it was time for a rebuild and, while I was at it, throw in some fresh electrics. So now the Kraton 6S is reborn with a new look and a new power system that's an absolute butt-clencher. Keep an eye out for a running video soon...
Thank you for watching and hope you enjoyed the video. :)
Motor: Leopard 4082 2000kv
ESC: Hobbywing Xerun 150amp (not waterproof)
Servo: Savox 1256TG

We are always our worst critics. You did a great job on that body.
Thank you so much. 😊👍
The kraton has came a long way
Indeed.
That is, by far, the best looking Kraton I have EVER seen.
And, as a fellow Melbournian, I feel your pain about this awful weather - every bash spot is soaked at the moment!
***** Thank you very much for the kind words. :) Yes, Melbourne weather kinda sucks at the moment and I can't wait until some nice Spring weather.
I like it you did a great job on it all very impressive Vas, now I'm looking forward to watching just how hard the Kraton goes now with it's upgrades thanks for sharing I enjoyed that RC Pit-Stop episode 2 thumbs up !!
Looks great! Pro Line Trenchers have such an aggressive look. I use those on one my other vehicles.
Paint turned out great!
clockwoood Thank you. :)
Can't wait to see it run! Great job on the body as well.
Nice paint, and upgrades! I can't wait to see it get cheeky on the street!
Looks sweet! Love the Proline Trenchers on there. The diffs on my Arrma Granite are built the same way. I actually shredded them with a 5700kv system on 3s
That paint job is too nice to bash it. Especially after all that time and effort. Well done.
a gixxer Thanks. Yeah, I think so too, but it's all part of it. You build it, paint it, service it only to bash it, break it and do it all again. ;)
I like what you have done with this whip, One Luv!
Good job mate! looks good! cant wait for the running video!!!!
Vas, well dun with the paint job. Looks great.
Great job!! cant wait for a running vid.
Great episode. I have been wanting to change the oil in mine for some time, but I have only had crawlers before this that don't use oil in the diffs. Can't wait for the running video.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
AWESOME VIDEO, and this video answers my question about the power system swap ;)
Wow, it sure looks awesome in that red color. In the future when it's time for a new body i will make a red one as well. I got a white wing now, the black ones are out of stock. And i think that would match perfectly. Great job with that beast! 👍👌🚗😁
Love the Kool-Aid man grin on the front. Thanks for the info on how the HW 150 A ESC does in these trucks.
nice paint job
Nice job Vas! I sure do enjoy your channel and I love the Kraton....I got mine after watching your videos and it qwickly became my favorite basher of all time! I sold my e-revo and after some tweaks and upgrades the Kraton is a absolute beast! I am selling a steering bearing upgrade now for the Kraton and typhon for 7.00 US it really helps smooth out the steering between that and shiming the A-arms my Kraton turns on a dime now instead of needing a 40 acre field to turn around in...lol
Craig Schofield Thank you for the kind words, Craig. Glad you're enjoying the Kraton, it's certainly an awesome RC. Thanks for stopping by, buddy, always nice to hear from you. :)
Good video the weather in Melbourne is crapy haha I'm in Sydney
Looks great wanna see how it does out on the track
Sweet!
Good looking, Vas!
Thanks Rich. :)
+Aussie RC Playground your videos are awesome. keep it up. Would you recommend these electronics for the basher sabertooth?
+Aussie RC Playground how do you switch a pinion gear plz make a vid
Great pit video. Very informative!
Thanks. :)
Nice... 😀 👍
Hi Vas
First time commenter, long time watcher.
Well done. It looks and sounds like it should be be fantastic.
I love and commented basically because of the rebuild and repaint etc. is what i love about RC. You always have a great segment but double thumbs up because of upgrades. As a fellow Aussie your info is very relevant to me keep up the good work
Garszy
Garszy Thank you Garszy. Appreciate the comment. :)
***** I do them through my editing program (Sony Vegas) and then just upload thumbnail when my video is uploading. Hope that helps
amazing O-O
nice !!
Thanks for this Vas. I'm yet to do exactly the same electronics swap in my Typhon and this has helped me get motivated to do it finally. Would be interested to find out if the 500,000 weight oil is thick enough for better rear to front power distribution. Looking forward to the bashing vid!!
Very nice work,cant wait to see you bash it...And i hope to see you bash the shit out of a 1/5 on that bmx track 😊
You are nr1 on youtube...Love youre videos
hey Vas nice job...i have the Talion and i'm also not Italian..anyway i may use 100,000 wt in the center dif and 60,000 on the ends.do you think that would improve performance mate.
Wonder if that pulled system is gonna end up in the TM E6 III?
you're my Favorite channel to watch! always Good Builds,Bashing and Great Info!! i learn something new every time i watch!! keep up the GREAT WORK!! im Hoping you do a 1/5 review someday?!
twrecks116 Thank you very much for your support. :) Maybe one day I will review a 1/5 scale, you just never know...
nice build dude, is there any other body's that will fit my kraton?
Have u post a video of it being geared up past 15 pinion
Ok thanks
Can the leopard motor work with the v2 esc? Please reply!
Great review can't wait to hear how the test run goes . I still have the stock motor so far so good , I have watched all your vids on the Kraton what would you say is the best pinion to run? Also what are you going to run with the new motor and big tires ? I have the same tires as well .. Thanks
How do you cut the extra plastic around the cover.
did you change your dif oil it improves it heaps.!!!!
great video as always Vas. I did have a question for you, I am having trouble fitting my Rx for my 4pls into that super tiny Rx box. How did you get that thing in there? Also just a FYI the Nitro Circus MT uses the same size springs as the kraton. I had the optional spring set from HK laying around and I think so far they are the best alternative. I'm running the Red Springs in the back and Black in the front. Lastly, I know you love experimenting with different tires, I've found the Losi 420s and ATX tires to be my goto all around bashing wheel tire combo.
needs to add a kyosho phsyco kruiser to your collection for the ultimate 6s battle! would love to see that truck on your channel :)
sethpettman If only I could afford one and find one locally. They're not easy to come by and neither are the parts.
+Aussie RC Playground
I didn't know they were so hard to come by... that's a shame. maybe kyosho will gift you one to test for us lol anyhow great videos as per usual!
sethpettman If only that would happen. Haha. Not likely though...
Quick question. I have an arrma typhon 3s blx and I have no idea how to get the pins that hold the wheel hexes out. Any tips?
What is the track set, toe-in or toe?
HI there from UK im loking for some front springs for my kraton the v2 one and cant find a proper one ....can u help me ? what are u using on yours ?
Thanks so much
hey can you tell me what way diff oil you have in your front and rear diff and Center diff for the arrma kraton on 6s thank you
the motor sensored or sensoreless?
What size and type of tires are those?
How many packs did you put throught it?
Hey Vas! Question: I just got my new Kraton today, and I'm noticing that from a dead spot there seems to be some hesitation when i floor the throttle. i'll get a split second of throttle, nothing, then it roars and takes off. like I_________I. When already moving she seems to have no issue responding immediately to throttle however! Did you experience this phenomenon with any of your ARRMA's with the BLX system? I believe mine is the updated system with the newer ESC.
Hey Vas, I would also like to change the standard Arrma motor for a leopard 4082 motor, but I can't deceide to go for the 1600kv or 2000kv motor. My standard Arrma motor runs really hot on 6s. I would like to bring down the temperature quite a bit, but ofcourse I don't want to lose power. Some people say that the 2000kv motor is too much for 6s, and I should go for 1600kv. How is the motor temperature with this setup on 6s? Does it run cooler than the 2050kv standard Arrma motor?
Yo kraton 6s what did you updated to
500,000 in the center diff when it calls for 7k or 10k in the manual? Does this help with anything? I am a dedicated basher not a speed racer.
Hey man, which springs have you put in the rear shocks?
Snowakei They are the ST4/MT4 springs.
Just curious...do you still think the tower to tower brace is unnecessary if you upgrade to metal brackets on both sides of the chassis? Also, will you be reviewing the Kraton EXB? I’m interested in buying a Kraton but am somewhat concerned about the chassis durability.
Trencher x?
Do you sell the custom painted bodies?
hey my kraton keeps stripping rear diffs and literally burning up the center diff HELP?
What body is that?
1080p 50 YAY :)
He said rear end 😜
Got the Kraton out justnow actually
I got mine yesturday and i ran it, the escs are weird at first
For me i had to run it on 3s twice before i ran it on 6s ( but i kinda blasted it with water sooo yeah )
Rear springs ??
Ross Penny The springs are from the ST4/MT4 from Thunder Tiger. Straight fit and work great. :)
is that your most powerful brushless motor you ever had ?
looking forward to hear from you !
No, but it's very close. The most powerful one I've had so far is the HOBBYWING Max8 Combo. Incredible power.
+Aussie RC Playground So the ezrun 2200 kv Motor is more powerful than the leopard?
+Aussie RC Playground would you ever test the castle 1515 ?
I have been looking at budget crisis truck I am thinking on buying a slasher 4X4 would this be a good buy?
Derrick Callies Traxxas are known for their great parts support and if that's what you want, then you'll get no objections from me. I would choose the LCG Platinum edition, though. Pretty good value and comes with some pretty good upgrades.
Thanks for the help
Why did u take the gear boxes out
Hey have a question what's a better axels and stuff for this
All that power going thru Deans T plugs....hmmm why would one do this?
Old video, I now use XT150 plugs in all my 1/8 scale cars. 😉
can you give me the name of the tyers
+Gerard Verstappen Proline 3.8" TrencherX pre-mounted on Desperado rims with 1/2" offset. Cheers. :)

PL1184-13 is this nummer richt
You should sell me the old esc and motor ☺
Haaa you have plans for old kit nice.
😂
Do you have to play the music so loud for 21 minutes..?!
HAHA, That may be a hard paint job for a novice, but when you're a pro airbrush artist you can do this, imgur.com/gallery/cNEvTQK
To bad you're so far away, otherwise I could do a sick custom body for your channel. Still, you did get some clean lines, and pretty good for spray cans I take it?
Great review can't wait to hear how the test run goes . I still have the stock motor so far so good , I have watched all your vids on the Kraton what would you say is the best pinion to run? Also what are you going to run with the new motor and big tires ? I have the same tires as well .. Thanks
