Man that thing is insane! I thing the speed and gearing is perfect! Just some strong beat lock wheels or strongy glued tires and its perfect. Thumbs up!
Thats just insane. Awesome video. I'll be coming down to Florida sometime in December 2020 gonna have to come check out the exoplex and meet the man behind all the great videos. Awesome work bud keep it up
Those tires look like they hook up well on the wet grass. I'm just about sold on this setup, 12S looks like a good combo. I might be clicking "Buy" on this truggy sometime soon!
6s is plenty for my Kraton, this is gonna be EPIC! This beast really handles quite well... Those tires are great, almost like bigger Katars. I put Katars on my 6s and it handles like this, not as much rotation for big airs but supurb traction out of the turns with less slide. Nice setup.... Maybe extra rubberized CA glue will hold them?? Rock on brother
@@jcallesano yeah bro I was talking about my 6s Kraton, it's plenty for that rig. I don't have an 8s Kraton 1/5 scale, was just commenting 12s is a lot of sssss🤣🤣🤣😎👍
I 12s'd my Kraton EXB , and it has become favorite truck, the only problem i face is keeping the tires on the wheels 😂 but that's expected , Awesome video !
Since it came out I always said the Kraton 8S is a work of art. No question.. ever.. and I'm really Glad that Arrma didn't try to take the X-Maxx's throne cos' lets face it... that would be ULTRA tough. anyone that has an X-Maxx 8S would understand. There's a reason they're always sold out. Anyway... back on point....12S power, Suits this animal to a "T" Problem is tires. Belted tires are a great idea, but right now they're heavier than non belted.. few guys in the UK get fishing leader wire and wrap that around their tires and it's an absolute God Send... how they tie them off or finish the loops is beyond me ATM. Cheers for the vid mate... Hope you're keeping safe! Huge cheers from Sydney Australia!
Good Googily Moogily............ 63 mph on long wet grass. get that thing on some red dirt hard pack here in Oklahoma with perfect tuning of that ESC and geared right, im thinking 70 could be attainable. that thing is a beast.
Maybe tone down the punch a little bit to help keep the front end down more.. that’ll make the packs last little longer per charge, less strain on the packs too, and it’d make it bit more drivable as this thing is sick as hell for power... it’s like Paul Bunyan making the Grand Canyon or Moses parting the sea! I hope you have the driveline beefed up good as I have heard that Arma uses cheap “pot metal” in their driveline diff gears instead of stronger and more precise machined alloys...
I PAUSED THE VIDEO WHEN U FLIPPED IT OVER (5min mark.) SO I COULD HYPOTHESIZE, I BET YOUR MOTOR WILL BE SMOKIN ASS HOT! GREAT VIDEO, THANKYOU FOR THE SHOW! -WELL I GUESS I WAS WRONG. :/ GREAT JOB AT STAYIN COOL!
I swear I can remember watching you like on Saturday mornings or something I might be mistaken
every day I'm on here
12s is what it should of come with ! Not 8s! That's a beast now!! Awesome run brother!👍👍😎👽
This is a great advertisement for flier 400 amp esc...thank you for showing how durable it is.
I like how your recovery enstence skill are on point and most time
Man that thing is insane! I thing the speed and gearing is perfect! Just some strong beat lock wheels or strongy glued tires and its perfect. Thumbs up!
Sickness! It handled the power very well
Thats just insane. Awesome video. I'll be coming down to Florida sometime in December 2020 gonna have to come check out the exoplex and meet the man behind all the great videos. Awesome work bud keep it up
sure man, I should be here!

6s in this 8s 1/5 kraton s horribly boring. 6s in the smaller version is perfect but not for this much larger scale truck
@@jcallesano yeah bro I was talking about my 6s Kraton, it's plenty for that rig. I don't have an 8s Kraton 1/5 scale, was just commenting 12s is a lot of sssss🤣🤣🤣😎👍
@@3SonsRCwhen I first got mine, I only had 3s batteries. I was surely disappointed when using 6s. Booorrriiinnnggg. 8s if fun. Gears are next
Wow! 😱I was impressed with mine after I geared it up and put in 20mil in the center. This looks nuts 💪
I 12s'd my Kraton EXB , and it has become favorite truck, the only problem i face is keeping the tires on the wheels 😂 but that's expected , Awesome video !
And still handles great! Hats of for Arrma👍

DUDE!!! considering the scale and the weight of that monster! this is absolutely amazing!
Wow what a build and that rig is set on kill. Great video!! Bash on 😎😎
the torque look endless! nice build man...
This is the first time I've actually wanted one of these. Arrma should have it 12s from the factory lol
yeah and YES I agree!!!
That thing rips! I want one!!!
That slow-mo flip was epic
That’s just awesome!!! Great video. Love the channel. 🍻
thank you so much
Hope you fix the red and white wires
Mann you having way too much fun😁😁
That thang is cooking up some power
Great setup! Do you have a video for the installation of the esc?
no I don't, it was basically just ziptied in place
Wow, I see this ESC on Ebay, they're great.
Awesome this kraton is a beast! Nice job bro. Thumbs up 👍👍👍👍😎
Thanks 👍
if u rise back lil bit, u can use it more stable when back side not down to much it not wheelie so easy. You can rise it with shock rings
Makes me wanna put the X Maxx up and grab a Kraton and commence to upgrading.
That is mental power!!
Great video. I'm taking notes.😁 Been looking for a servo that fits the kraton 8s, be cool if you could find one.
I have an XLX2 combo.... the seller says I should use a 17T pinion with it...
Why would he say that?
For speed runs would a front wing keep it somewhat planted in the front....
If it’s big enough
The kraton had a ghillie suit on for a sec
Just need to see a 12s outcast now, that would be fun.
it’s like adding 400hp to a motorcycle 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Diffs will be kaput soon 🤣👆
Not as fast as a stock xmaxx
@@meanf1502 stock kraton is faster than stock xmaxx
Gostaria de saber qual motor é esc você usou , quero colocar no meu
Wow badass RC
Good Googily Moogily............ 63 mph on long wet grass. get that thing on some red dirt hard pack here in Oklahoma with perfect tuning of that ESC and geared right, im thinking 70 could be attainable. that thing is a beast.
That thing is a beast, just good luck finding tires that hold up
yeah he will have to get some belted tires for it
That thing is insane
How has the ESC held up?
Don’t like the flier esc.
It needs the proline trenchers for the x maxx
That’ll rip up the ground. It is nice to have extra power in these RCs
also a few of those links dont work. silicone ear buds and 400a 16s esc dont work
Wish the 6s had dif gears like the 8s
the 8s has a very nice gear setup
Can u put the link in for the tuning cord
Where can i get that temperature meter or whatever it's called
Awsome power 👍🏻💪
How much would something like this cost
Well the Kraton is $900. Then the motor, motor mount and esc. Then 2 6S batteries to power it.
Nice video amigo 😀👍
Did you used to have your own four-wheel drive show
I wish, but no sir
Ok thanks . What's your opinion on the snake you see is it worth getting to run 12s
I've been trying to find those batteries with no luck? There not linked to the video are they lol
It shreds so hard in the grass 🤤😎
Do you build 12s for xmax?
I have not put 12s in an Xmaxx.
@@ExocagedRC ok do you do builds for others?
Is this in middleburg ??
yes it sure is. Omega Park
Why do the tires expand out ? I just got into RC, also do any rcs have real brakes?
Rpms, ywah I have mechanical brakes on my Losi dbxle
how much is the truck?
so for fun cut 8 scale tires with duct tape inside the rim glue them well you will fly less rubber
What temp gun is that?
just a cheap one I got off ebay
always love your review.... take a look.. 👍🏻
Wheels what are they
Those are the Giant Grip tires from Dave’s Discount Motors
Super weapon 👌🏻💎💣
My guy always looks like he just rolled out of bed hahah
2:40 Pedestrian is thinking, “It’s just a toy car...no danger there.”
3:23 Always wear eye protection peeps, even if it is just a toy car!
LoL yeah that coulda been bad
🤨
If you ever want to sell it, I’ll definitely buy 😁
well its not mine.
Need a little weight on the nose to keep it down, then run speed check
Maybe tone down the punch a little bit to help keep the front end down more.. that’ll make the packs last little longer per charge, less strain on the packs too, and it’d make it bit more drivable as this thing is sick as hell for power... it’s like Paul Bunyan making the Grand Canyon or Moses parting the sea! I hope you have the driveline beefed up good as I have heard that Arma uses cheap “pot metal” in their driveline diff gears instead of stronger and more precise machined alloys...
Paddles in the sand 👍🏼
Thing is an animal with that setup in it..✌
I have the bell on and this video didn't show up man i just randomly found it
Make it rear wheel drive, it’ll help keep the nose down
Monster
I PAUSED THE VIDEO WHEN U FLIPPED IT OVER (5min mark.) SO I COULD HYPOTHESIZE, I BET YOUR MOTOR WILL BE SMOKIN ASS HOT! GREAT VIDEO, THANKYOU FOR THE SHOW! -WELL I GUESS I WAS WRONG. :/ GREAT JOB AT STAYIN COOL!
Wouldn’t it be easier to scribble a #1 in front of the 8s and build an 18s than to confuse ppl that it’s a 12s but says 8s?
I didn’t gradumenate and become a bottle rocket scientist but I did come here to see a 12s Kraton lol!! Rock on that’s what’s up!!💪💪🧨
Here the million dollar ? How mich was that esc lol but that thing is a freaking beast
$266 on ebay
Geez..those rooster tails though 💪🏾
What the hell kind of drive train is in that thing ? !
Make an xmaxx 12 S pls
Dam that thing is sick as fk
That shit mean 💯
Mad man shit there nice love it
Wide, no, much WIDER tyres needed. Maybe some spikes too, for grip and added danger.
That thing is straight nasty.
That is so fuking cool
A lot quiter 👍👍👍
Looks like needs some steel belted tires to stop balloning
It’s going to get some foam tires and a lot more gear to see what it’s got.
Nice shoot body is time 4:48 😎
Awesome
Why does it sound like its playing jingle bells?
All metal driveline has a jingle to it.
Dayum!
I wanna see a big balls to the wall pavement speed run!
based_will agreed! Put a wheelie bar on it so it doesn’t pull the front tires lol
Thats going to happen, the owner is getting foams made for it so hopefully soon
bruh. i love this. fucking savage. lol. probably 70 on pavement.
🧨💣🔥🌪⚡️💥❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Screw that,.. I want to RIDE ON THAT bad boy lol!!!
wow
#BEAST
Gears sound worn in
Too much power not enough brap. Rather see you chooch a 30cc two stroke into one of these instead.
Damn!
Buddy beating it and its not even his.
The BUSH! Why doesn't someone take 10 minutes and remove the BUUUSH.
Is that it? Lol
Yeah that’s it. I expected more.
