Arrma Kraton EXB vs. Kraton V1 - How far has Arrma Come?

We have been driving both the Arrma Kraton EXB and the Arrma Kraton V1 for the past couple of months.
In this video, you'll see all the differences between them, a sick bashing edit and what we think of both of them! (spoiler: the V1 did better)

Hey, i would love to see a video of your whole collection! Also very quality comparison :) which one do you prefer?

[@ValRC1]

Oh yeah I can totally do that! Thanks for watching btw, and I kinda prefer my V1, especially knowing that it cost me 1/3rd of the exb so I'm not that afraid to get it dirty and wear it out, so I end up having more fun with it 😆
(Exb is also my friends, not mine :)

@@mattiazanni3086 it is, yeah. :) I think he prefers his, but he's very bummed it turned out to be less durable than mine until now.
He thinks mine's pretty ugly and I agree, but I don't really care

Nice video, I would see a video at the new nitro car

Thanks, I'll try to make an interesting one then! :)

I noticed It doesn't alot of wellies could you do smaller gears for a higher top speed but slower acceleration ik nothing about how rc cars work this is based off motorcycle knowledge

[@ValRC1]

yeah in theory that would definitely make it have more torque, but that's not actually the problem with this one.
The issue is that its center differential (distributing the power between front and rear axle) isn't locked up enough, and by that it looses a lot of power by spinning the front wheels when they get pushed into the air, instead of sending all that power to the rear axle where it's needed. Can be fixed by putting a thicker differential oil in the center diff. The newer car solves this a different way, by using limited-slip plates in the differential.
Torque from the motor is no issue, so the gearing change wouldn't really make a lot of sense for that purpose. I even limited the torque electronically to protect the drivetrain a little, if I gave it max torque and locked the center diff completely I might be able to get it to do standing backflips 😂👍

Hey dude love your content pls make a how to clean your vehicle video

Thanks man, I mean I would but I struggle with that myself lol!

[@atkracing]

I think the shock towers and the hubs are different

[@ValRC1]

Oh okay, I knew about the shock towers but the hubs as well? interesting

[@philthyco1]

Hobbico built better rigs than horizon does

[@ValRC1]

Seems like it, yeah. Sucks..but now I know to look for older arrmas in good condition instead of newer ones on the used market 😂👍
