I can see the weight and handling difference in the video. The Kraton bounces around over the bumps quite a bit vs the Sledge staying quite well planted, just soaking it up. Kraton is lighter, quicker on it's feet and more eager. My local hobby shop had them both side by side today. The tire compound and foams are much softer on the Sledge. The Kraton s are very Hard and firm by comparison. Kraton harder tire set, better for smooth track and high speed handling Sledge soft tire set, Better for off road rough terrain handling. Great vid, great comparison
The sledge is $699 compared to a Kraton 6s which is only $549 and the Kraton can easily accept all different motor and esc upgrades while cuz the sledges motor mount is a caged fit around the included motor it’s made specifically to fit it so in order to use bigger more powerful motor you gotta speed more extra money to buy a different designed motor mount/center diff mount to fit that different setup
Just a brilliant video. Yes I was waiting for it. You did a superb job. Hats off to your for your hard work and thought you put into your videos for us. Lost time fan of you and your channel. John. Thanks again for sharing.
For the Kraton being and older rc car I have to say it was ahead of its time when first released 💯💯the sledge now feels better to me as far as control in the air for sure & the stability of the sledge is what I love about it as well cool video 👍
Forsure earl! The kraton been out for some years and wasnt even the most up to date kraton he ran being rtr and not the exb. But I understand why he chose to do rtr vs rtr and not rtr vs exb. I think he was fair forsure in the video but his traxxas love deff showed just a little. I noticed him say "ohh no" on one of the categories when the kraton performed the trick that the sledge didnt lol. Both cars r dope, and I think traxxas and arrma both give us a damn good reason to buy both brands!
Lol lol lol yes he got a bit more love for traxxas.Also 55mph out the box with tsm off so why not up that kraton punch to 8 atleast. No jumping distance test but it's obvious in the video that the kraton jumps further
Thanks for the great review so far.. I love your enthusiasm for the hobby.. I am not in the market for either rc but I enjoy the approach that you are taking with this.. keep on driving!
I dunno, the erevo is kind of in a different class, externally is looks similar, but under the body its different story. Doesnt even drive like a truggy 😅
Great video, I love that both of these were new out of the box! I loved my kraton, but enjoyed driving my erevo 2.0 more. Hoping to see how you compare those two!! Keep up the great content!!
Great video and testing! These two are great cars. I have the kraton and I have a lot of traxxas vehicles, but I'm not sure I need the sledge. I don't have a problem with traxxas making a direct competitor, but I have always liked them because they go their own way and make different types of vehicles.
I think what's amazing about the Kraton is the fact its older and over $200 cheaper. I just don't know what justifies the difference. Also to buy arms for the Sledge are $70! I own both Traxxas and Arrma, Arrma is STILL impressive, I have a feeling a new Kraton is coming. Great video.
Looks to me like the kraton flies better, straighter and with the longer wheel base would just flip a little slower. I'd still go for the kraton. Love your content.
Great comparison and like the plan for further comparing over time. I do have the sledge and amazed even with the slower servo how well it drives. Thought that would be more of a problem being slow but so far no problems getting it to drive how I want.
I have the Sledge and the Kraton too. I have the feeling that the Sledge has more Punch, and Batteries last longer. The Kraton feels really stable at top Speed. I Ordered a Motor Fan for the Sledge, but i have the feel its not really nessesary. The Kraton really need one, without u have to do breaks and wait a bit to cool down. The Copperhead Tires are better glued by factory. The diffs on that kraton makes me crazy. I broke 1 front Driveshaft on my Sledge, my maxx is still my number 1 hardcore basher.
I’m sticking with the Erevo 2.0 myself as the battery compartment built into the chassis keeps the lowest centre of gravity that’s awesome for such a big truck. Happy new year to you from 🇬🇧
Great job 👏👍👌spot on very fair. Excellent work 💪. Few extra trys for the sledge but otherwise very good. It's your video you can do as you like 👍. I will own both
I think this review was decent. Not a fanboy but you can hear the excitement more so for the sledge albeit a newer car which is understandable. Both seem capable and fun depending on the driver. I will say this for 200 more rtr there should definitely be a wider gap as far as performance is concerned.
It’s obvious that you “want” the sledge to win. You can hear it in your voice and comments made. I’m not sure how unbiased this comparison is. I do think however that the sledge is much tougher out of the box
@@josea.1975 It’s always hilarious to watch fanboys go out of their way to call each others fanboys on the internet, like it matters 😂. Dopey children or man-boys.
Which ramp angle do you find most useful? I’m looking into building one. Great review by the way. The kraton surprised me, and I’ll definitely keep my eye on them, probably the EXB though!
I"m deciding Sledge or E Revo 2.0 (cost not a factor). Which do you like better for speed runs and minor to moderate bashing? Novice at fixing (I only have a Rustler VXL 4x4) but getting better as I go. Feel free to do a comparison video but an answer with lite detail would help a lot. Main draw to the E Revo is the passion of the people behind it and my buds have one which means I could get help fixing it. Draw to the Sledge is future proof and apparently it's easy to fix. Thanks for any help.
Great review thanks. I sold my Erevo 2.0 for a Kraton V5. I miss the Erevo but I do love the Kraton it’s a versatile fun truck and it’s easy to work on. The sledge looks pretty nice also. If I didn’t have and enjoy the Kraton so much I’d look into one. Mabey later on.
Great job bro, awesome content, very thorough😉👍🏼💯 bro i have both trucks and like them both in different areas, both are beasts. Thank you for this video , makes so much more sense, being a owner of both vehicles 😉👍🏼💯 *NOTE-when i checked my rear axles my sledge had O-rings on there from factory. You think i need to add more? Or that will be ok, ? Thanks in advance
Loved the video. I don’t own either, but it looks like it would be great to own either car. Just wondering if there were some upgrades the Traxxas had over the Arrma since it is so much more expensive?
Great video comparison dude ……. My Sledge is now upgraded with Arrma Backflip Wheels/Tyres, Hobbywing Max6 combo, Upgraded servo, did these upgrades over a 3 month period & now it’s 👌🏼
Love Traxxas and Arrma. I had a kraton couple years back and the durability of this rc is a beast when it comes to taken a beaten. Since seeing the video now. I would definitely get both, but if I really had to choose... The kraton for me
Congratulations, you nailed both of your comparison videos! Plus, it was a lot of fun watching. I don't have a horse in this race as I have the erevo 2.0 and the 6s kraton exb as well as a serpent 811t for 1/8 fun. All different, all a blast. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. There is no perfect rc. It looks like traxxas used lighter shock oil or maybe the extra weight allowing the suspension to soak up the rough stuff without bottoming out constantly, looking at you erevo. Putting 70w in the rear shocks takes most of the bounce out of the kraton and I agree, on a track the lighter kraton wins. Not a clock cleaning but a win. Arrma and traxxas both did a good job on suspension tune out of the box for most drivers and terrain. Air control definitely favors the sledge and as far as chassis/driveline goes probably the more durable. Pretty sure traxxas will address the spur gear quickly. Try putting the copperhead 2's on your erevo. Don't know what the air control is but on the ground they're the best I've tried. Weight and offset are just right.Traxxas ptfe coated shocks are a huge improvement as well. Great video, glad both gave a good showing and stayed together. Choices and competition are always welcome. Drive/bash on!
Awesome video! I love my Kraton and I’m glad Traxxas put together a worthy competitor. I feel like Traxxas stepped up their game with the 2021 Bronco TRX4 and have just been delivering some really impressive models ever since. Let me break down the cost difference. You can call Traxxas about anything on your RC and they will accommodate you. Horizon’s customer service, while not the easiest to navigate, is average.
I have not personally dealt with Traxxas customer service, but Trust Pilot does not show them (or Horizon Hobby) in a very good light with 73% one star ratings and 1.6/5 total. HH was 71% with 1.9/5 total rating. Horizon Hobby has better rating, but both were poor 😢.
I love your vidoes man. You are so enthusiastic about it. Great comparison :) but I still dont know which one to get haha. If Sledge would be at 600$ price tag them it would be easier
Just watched the new ending. Too harsh a critic to yourself 😉 Look forward to future videos of them together. I think with both of these just like an other RC’s some are just going to be better than others and their will be lemons etc. I love driving my EXB but it had a lot of issues that I had to deal with. Almost just got rid of it but glad I didn’t. I love driving it now. I like em all. 😂🤷🏼♂️
Thought the sledge would win and wanted the sledge to win. Great video. Makes me want the sledge more now. I have the kraton exb already so I could do my own comparison.
Man your property is like the ultimate RC playground lol. I've been eyeing up the Sledge since it came out. I'm definitely getting one, but I'll wait till all the bugs are worked out. I know down the line they'll be common issues that pop up like Traxxas had with the Rustler 4x4 and Maxx.
I currently fly spektrum equipped hellis/ drones. In geneneral, are Arma vehicles equipped with spektrum based hardware? If so, does this mean my spektrun transmitter will work with Arma vehicles with any modification? Thank you for your time.
Man I don’t know who to vote for! The Krayton has had a great record for a while now but I’m really impressed and hopeful for what the Sledge has the show.
I always try to see what all brands have to offer rather than be a fan of a single manufacturer because they all do some things differently and all in all it is the customer who is the winner anyway because of the market competition between the brands. This is why I have both Traxxas and Arrma RCs, Xbox and Playstation game consoles etc. That said, in this case I'm rooting for the new addition to the hobby which is the Sledge and I think it is going to win your competition because there is no way Traxxas didn't focus on improving things from the most popular truggy on the market which is the Kraton. But I also think that the Sledge, being all new, will have some issues that will be fixed along the way with updated revisions, just like in every other model from any manufacturer.
I know this was an out of the box test but I'd add a bigger pinion to the Arrma just by a couple of teeth and it flips a hell of alot better. The tyre's made a big difference too. The Sledgehammer's balloon a bit more than the Arrma's stock tyre's as one's designed to flip and the other is for a track. A truly fair test is to run them with the same tyre's. I'd love to see them go head to head with the same pinion size and matching boot's. Out of the box I agree the Sledge is slightly better,,, but give the Arrma stunt tyre's like the Sledge has got,,,, I think the Arrma would win. Nice video dude 👍 😎 🙏
Love your videos. You definitely seemed a little biased with the sledge. I personally think the kraton did awesome as well. But I have a kraton already. About to pull the trigger on a sledge as well
I like the Kraton a bit better but I think the Sledge is a bit tougher. Both are awesome RCs for sure. 🔥 Pretty interested to see this comparison vid. Let's see what happens. 🤔 edit If I was going to buy a basher I'd have to go with the Sledge but I'm more of a racer so I'd go with the Kraton. Now if I bought a Kraton I wouldn't buy the RTR I'd get the EXB so I could pick the electronics and of course it has a lot of upgrades. Cool comparison vid. I enjoyed that 🔥👍 Subbed ✌️
I can see the weight and handling difference in the video. The Kraton bounces around over the bumps quite a bit vs the Sledge staying quite well planted, just soaking it up. Kraton is lighter, quicker on it's feet and more eager.
My local hobby shop had them both side by side today. The tire compound and foams are much softer on the Sledge. The Kraton s are very Hard and firm by comparison.
Kraton harder tire set, better for smooth track and high speed handling
Sledge soft tire set, Better for off road rough terrain handling.
Great vid, great comparison
The sledge is $699 compared to a Kraton 6s which is only $549 and the Kraton can easily accept all different motor and esc upgrades while cuz the sledges motor mount is a caged fit around the included motor it’s made specifically to fit it so in order to use bigger more powerful motor you gotta speed more extra money to buy a different designed motor mount/center diff mount to fit that different setup

Yes the kraton set the standard for others to improve on and I think that's great in rc.We know for sure now arrma has something in the pipeline
Thanks for the great review so far.. I love your enthusiasm for the hobby.. I am not in the market for either rc but I enjoy the approach that you are taking with this.. keep on driving!
You are welcome!
Can't stop watching your videos honestly , love your enthusiasm. Excellent comparison and review of what most want to know . 👍👍👍👍
I have a kraton 6s v5 (Spektrum version) and it's a beast and great model👍
The first Kraton front flip was perfect! U messed it up on the throttle 😆
Great in depth video. You can tell you really love what you do. Thanks
"OH! I hit a tree with it"
😅😂 Pure gold dude. You keep it real and that's what I like. GREAT VIDEO
You are a good honest guy. Good job! I would like to see a comparison between Sledge and erevo 2.0
I dunno, the erevo is kind of in a different class, externally is looks similar, but under the body its different story. Doesnt even drive like a truggy 😅
Your videos are fantastic and I greatly appreciate your attitude and understanding of the hobby. :D
Thanks!
Great video, I love that both of these were new out of the box! I loved my kraton, but enjoyed driving my erevo 2.0 more. Hoping to see how you compare those two!! Keep up the great content!!
The erevo 2.0 is such a beast, arrma and traxxas make some great bashers.
Love ur excitement on ur reviews
Great video and testing! These two are great cars. I have the kraton and I have a lot of traxxas vehicles, but I'm not sure I need the sledge. I don't have a problem with traxxas making a direct competitor, but I have always liked them because they go their own way and make different types of vehicles.
100% agree. If they were gonna make a direct competitor for a popular model, I think most of us expected it to be SCX24 😅
I think what's amazing about the Kraton is the fact its older and over $200 cheaper. I just don't know what justifies the difference. Also to buy arms for the Sledge are $70! I own both Traxxas and Arrma, Arrma is STILL impressive, I have a feeling a new Kraton is coming. Great video.
Duuuuude awesome video great Info thank you so much! You are the man!
Really appreciate the unscientific approach to this and the fact that you ran them both stock!
Looks to me like the kraton flies better, straighter and with the longer wheel base would just flip a little slower. I'd still go for the kraton. Love your content.
This is awesome video that everyone wanted to see . Thank you !!!!!
Welcome!
Great video, bottom line having a blast with two great trucks
awesome rc's and great comparisons,awesome video
you rocked it as always!
Great video! So much fun yet objective. Good stuff man!
Great comparison and like the plan for further comparing over time. I do have the sledge and amazed even with the slower servo how well it drives. Thought that would be more of a problem being slow but so far no problems getting it to drive how I want.
Great content ! Tom curious to see how it Hold up over time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great video. Both are nice trucks. I just got my new Kraton last week and it runs great on 4s. 6s is insane. I'll get a Sledge later on. I like both.
I have the Sledge and the Kraton too. I have the feeling that the Sledge has more Punch, and Batteries last longer. The Kraton feels really stable at top Speed. I Ordered a Motor Fan for the Sledge, but i have the feel its not really nessesary. The Kraton really need one, without u have to do breaks and wait a bit to cool down.

Love your punch setting video it's the best
Great video. Lots of great information.
I think so far you have the best comparison video between sledge and kraton.
Love my Kraton EXB ,,,my next truck is the Traxxas Maxx V2 👍🏼😇 Wonderful video ❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Hobbywing EZRun MAX6 V3 Brushless ESC & Motor Combo w/4985SL (1650kV)
Enjoyed the video, tons of fun. Keep it up.😀
Dude you're a blast would love to learn from you in person back to back all day LOL nice videos Man
I’m sticking with the Erevo 2.0 myself as the battery compartment built into the chassis keeps the lowest centre of gravity that’s awesome for such a big truck. Happy new year to you from 🇬🇧
But breaks down nonstop. Sledge all the way.

It better be for $699 lol
@ryand5665 He's a traxxas fan boy. It's obvious he's doing these reviews for views
@HugeMonkey88there both good lol
I'm thumbs'd up for the arrma salt. 🤣
@@josea.1975 It’s always hilarious to watch fanboys go out of their way to call each others fanboys on the internet, like it matters 😂. Dopey children or man-boys.

Good one man. I would love to see a video of ya just out bashing somewhere. Just enjoying your self. Therapeutic
I can't wait to see you videos in the future. thx outsourced rc
awsome vid traxxas cars have always had pretty good air control but the kraton is still a awsome rc keep up the good work

Wow, what a great video. Thank you so much as I was very torn between the 2. I think I will go with ARRMA…
Great video dude. You can tell you love what you do. I like the Traxxas as well just wish the price would come down
What do you use for recording your action video? A GoPro on your head?
That’s exactly it.
which would you like to drive better. one of these two or a Erevo 2.0!?! Please and Thankyou
I like air control with the sledge. Diffs are probably nicer too.
I rather get an Kraton EXB, but that’s just me. Putting my own electronics and changing the diff fluid sounds like fun
Your a genuine true dude😎👍
Great presentation, man💨💨
Subbed💯
Good comparison.
Great video. I have a Maxx. Is the XMaxx a similar experience but in bigger form? I can't decide on an XMaxx or Sledge. Sledge is really tempting me.
Anyone have any good tips for upgrades I have a kraton 6s exb I think 2016-17
I want traxxas to win I think traxxas will win
I love your vidoes man. You are so enthusiastic about it. Great comparison :) but I still dont know which one to get haha. If Sledge would be at 600$ price tag them it would be easier
What should i have between kraton 6s, outcast 6s, erevo 6s. Can you help me pls 😢😢
Just watched the new ending. Too harsh a critic to yourself 😉
Look forward to future videos of them together. I think with both of these just like an other RC’s some are just going to be better than others and their will be lemons etc. I love driving my EXB but it had a lot of issues that I had to deal with. Almost just got rid of it but glad I didn’t. I love driving it now.
I like em all. 😂🤷🏼♂️
did you get both???
Nice comparison
Awesome vid 😎 would like to see you do the same tests with the punch levels maxed and both on the same tyres 🤔
The punch isn't adjustable on the Traxxas esc.
Change the punch setting to 7 on the Kraton, it will DEFINITELY do a standing backflip
Great video buddy!
Thought the sledge would win and wanted the sledge to win. Great video. Makes me want the sledge more now. I have the kraton exb already so I could do my own comparison.
Man your property is like the ultimate RC playground lol.
I've been eyeing up the Sledge since it came out. I'm definitely getting one, but I'll wait till all the bugs are worked out. I know down the line they'll be common issues that pop up like Traxxas had with the Rustler 4x4 and Maxx.
That’s not a bad idea.
Nice vid dude!
Just got home from school, plugged in the Maxx, and I'm boutta watch this video and go outside and bash right after 😈
Should I get rid of my revo 2.0 for the sledge ? Great video brotha
I currently fly spektrum equipped hellis/ drones. In geneneral, are Arma vehicles equipped with spektrum based hardware? If so, does this mean my spektrun transmitter will work with Arma vehicles with any modification? Thank you for your time.
Yes the high end Spectrum TX's will bind with any Spectrum RX.
I've increased the punch on my Kraton and oh boy. It moves and helps with backflips and really picks up the front end
Man I don’t know who to vote for! The Krayton has had a great record for a while now but I’m really impressed and hopeful for what the Sledge has the show.
Nice job I love my sledge however not stock
Just bought Traxxas XRt 8s! Lastet a few days before battery fire! Big Upgrade from Kraton 6s though!
I always try to see what all brands have to offer rather than be a fan of a single manufacturer because they all do some things differently and all in all it is the customer who is the winner anyway because of the market competition between the brands.

But I also think that the Sledge, being all new, will have some issues that will be fixed along the way with updated revisions, just like in every other model from any manufacturer.
I like both. Only have the kraton v5 6s. But definitely plan to get the sledge.
Arrma = Traxxas - Traxxas = Arrma 😎😎
arrma for me thumbs up
I upped my centre diff fluid to 500k on my kraton and it made it flip much much better. Sledge looks like n awesome rig
I know this was an out of the box test but I'd add a bigger pinion to the Arrma just by a couple of teeth and it flips a hell of alot better. The tyre's made a big difference too.

I have and love them both! I am not a fan boy, I am a fan of good RC's, no matter the brand.
I have the Arrma Typhon V1,V4 and V5 and the Kraton V1 6s and since last week the Kraton 8s...
Never ever I lost a wheel nut or had 1 loose....
Love your videos. You definitely seemed a little biased with the sledge. I personally think the kraton did awesome as well. But I have a kraton already. About to pull the trigger on a sledge as well
I like the Kraton a bit better but I think the Sledge is a bit tougher. Both are awesome RCs for sure. 🔥 Pretty interested to see this comparison vid. Let's see what happens. 🤔
edit
If I was going to buy a basher I'd have to go with the Sledge but I'm more of a racer so I'd go with the Kraton. Now if I bought a Kraton I wouldn't buy the RTR I'd get the EXB so I could pick the electronics and of course it has a lot of upgrades. Cool comparison vid. I enjoyed that 🔥👍 Subbed ✌️
