I built a monster kraton a couple years ago. It so cool to see one out of the box. Wish I could get one as a slider. A max 6 and good belted tires. Yeah. Great video format. 😊
Drives like the Big Rock 3s version - more about handling then hard core bashing. The name pretty much says it all and expecting more from it is not realistic. I'm just not sure how the release of the Kraton EXB RTR, with better specs, is going to affect sales? And, come on Horizon, step up and make the updated firmware available at no cost - expecting customers to purchase a programmer to correct YOUR mistake is not cool!
There is only one thing out of the box that I didn't like as it comes, and that is that front plastic bearing carrier on the center diff. I was always finding metal shavings in mine, originally thought I'd messed up rebuilding the center diff (or that the gear was somehow warped), kept seeing uneven wear, and destroyed one pinion, after eventually identifying that was where the misalignment was coming from. I changed to a metal one, the mesh got quieter, no more gear shavings, the mesh was consistant all the way around.
Thank for your review. Honest and very knowledgeable. You can tell you know about RC trucks. It get old of others ranting and bitching and just dissing on the rig all the way through there vid. Traxxas fanboys get old. You hit on the issues and didnt go iff about it. And kept it in a review about the whole rig.Thanks again. Keep up the great videos. Have Fun
Good comparison that I really wanted to see. I think I wrote in the first test of the Big Rock 6S that I have a friend who previously had an Outcast 6S and was now hesitating between this and the MTX that I have. He already decided on Big Rock. As soon as I have it we can compare them directly although I think I generally agree with the conclusions of your video. I have not seen the Cen Reeper for sale in a store in my country and the HPi Savage XL has a reputation for being more fragile. That's why I didn't value them back in the day and neither did my friend. All the best
ZD Racing MX-07 is another option at a cheap price. I don't have one, but have been pretty happy with my DBX-07. Parts are cheap, and it's been very durable so far.
Man that looks good. Was hoping the tires would be good for the Fireteam. Can you suggest any that are a little lower profile than stock? Really appreciate your reviews!
It’s just the beginning but thank you so much for the Vlog style review where you’re gonna actually drive the vehicle and talk about how you feel about it that’s an excellent approach. Honestly I like your channel you know a ton but the reviews can get kind of boring so just being honest thank you very much. Let you know how it goes after I watch a video, since you hated the fire team and you love this, it’s the same vehicle and I’m not trying to be a dick maybe a little😂
I use a Turnigy branded program card on all my HW and HW rebranded esc's, such as the v1 Firma 160, v2 also. It's over 10 years old. Definitely not updating software with it though, unfortunately.
I had a Mojave EXB and an Outcast 6s EXB, so I made K6SXL with those two vehicles, which is almost the same as the 6s BRCC 😂. They body on the new BRCC is really nice. Lading upside seems to damage it a lot though since it's a MT body with no wing protection. It's expected. Don't land upside down 😅
Still wondering if i should get the new Kraton 6S EXB RTR our the Big Rock for the same price here in Canada? I own a Kraton EXB half upgrade with EXB part…. What do you think?
@RazorRC spunds like one of mine on my outcast have to have brakes on 25%. I had an esc Ece die real early on my felony also, but I was running on a velodrome with 6s often. But died under low load.
That's my next purchase.. I HAVE the original 6S Kraton EXB with a Max 8 combo, a Corally Muraco and recently bought Corally Asuga.. Hanging to get the KAGAMA now. For the money, $890 here in Australia you can't beat them.. I'm no jumper we just love racing around on gravel /dirt or grass on makeshift tracks and I have to say the Corally Muraco with Louise T pirate truggy racing wheels/tyres on it is absolutely INCREDIBLE to drive.. I could drive it for hours it's so good.. So fast on 4S I can't recommend it highly enough.. Cheers
Nicely done Razor. I like this format better, talking while driving. Makes you a better driver?! HaHa, Just kidding. Soo, lost front drive there at the end, what happened? Might have to deduct a star on durability? Truck is still pretty new to be losing front drive already, we'll have to wait and see what all happened there.. does this really drive any different than the FT? All the same equipment more or less? Tires are different, but what else? I haven't driven either, which is why I ask. The BR is a looker though, and I honestly have no issues with the FT visually myself either. I didn't have GI Joe as a kid so.. maybe I should have an FT so I can have toy soldiers now? LOL. Keep up the great work Sir!!💯🤙👍
Anyone who has driven this and the Fireteam can tell right away this is so much different. People won't believe it, but they haven't driven a Big Rock.
My opinion on it is that they should provide the service through their dealer network. Won't work for everyone, but isn't that what a dealer network is for?
Brushless electric has gotten so boring to me. It’s nice looking sure but sounds like a vacuum cleaner. No soul at all. All my vehicles are nitro. To bad nitro options are very limited. Brushless was fun for a while as a novelty. Now iits everywhere. .

Awesome review , i like watching it bash while you give the review .... I honestly love mine ... So far im having a blast with it 🔥
Awesome, I watched one of your early run videos, looks like you have a nice place to bash!
@@RazorRC thanks for also watching mine ... Really appreciate it 👍🏻
@@RazorRC thanks , yes the track we have is a lot of fun

I’m literally at four minutes in and you’re just jumping and talking you got those shocks tuned nice job
I like this rolling review. You are reviewing it while you drive it 👍
Thank for your review. Honest and very knowledgeable. You can tell you know about RC trucks.

Thanks for the honest feedback! Yeah I think I like this Vlog-style review better too.
Great review. Enjoyed the new format too. What did break at the end when you lost power ?
Diff housing broken, bent tower to tower brace. Chassis still straight though!
Earl just posted his ESC update video. The HW program card (not the USB kind, the cheaper one!) works on the v2 spektrum ESC
Good to know!
I use a Turnigy branded program card on all my HW and HW rebranded esc's, such as the v1 Firma 160, v2 also. It's over 10 years old. Definitely not updating software with it though, unfortunately.
Doesn't it still use the old servo saver system compared with the new Kraton 6s EXB?
Yes..
@@BeauchMane then I don't think it should get 5 stars as it's pretty awful
@@Luke-en2tk it gives a little, but not too much.
Got 2 days to make up my mind between the big rock 6s, and the Typhon 6s TLR
I had a Mojave EXB and an Outcast 6s EXB, so I made K6SXL with those two vehicles, which is almost the same as the 6s BRCC 😂. They body on the new BRCC is really nice. Lading upside seems to damage it a lot though since it's a MT body with no wing protection. It's expected. Don't land upside down 😅

EXB should be tougher, BRCC will be more stable in larger areas/rougher terrain.
Which would be a better tire Option in your opinion?
Probably Arrma Backflips
@@RazorRC thanks. Do you know which are the bigest and widest mt tires with 17mm hax for loos dirt?
if i got one id have to get a set of Renegades 2.6x3.8 tires to put on that truck
What does the firmware improve
the old one had a problem where it would sometimes brake excessively
@RazorRC spunds like one of mine on my outcast have to have brakes on 25%. I had an esc Ece die real early on my felony also, but I was running on a velodrome with 6s often. But died under low load.
They just made an off the shelf kraton xl
How would you compare it to the Team Corally Kagama?
Sorry, I've never driven a Kagama.
That's my next purchase.. I HAVE the original 6S Kraton EXB with a Max 8 combo, a Corally Muraco and recently bought Corally Asuga.. Hanging to get the KAGAMA now.

I have a Shogun, it’s a beast, all Rc in Australia is far to expensive, parts is a cash cow, 5 year old tech , it’s a joke . ✌️🤙💯
Nice review 👍 If you already bought the truck and don’t have the program card Horizon will send it to you for free. Or at least they did for me.
Nice, I’m not sure they’ll do it for everyone, but glad they took care of you. 👍
@@RazorRC I certainly hope they will do it for any customer that purchased the Big Rock before they made this announcement 🤞
8:09 seconds. Looks like the brakes got hit?
The rear smacked off the ramp sending the nose forward.

How is everything the best, fastest or most underrated rc that comes out with. Everything
It’s an amazing time we live in
Im staying away from that new 150a ESC v2 since I can't fix it and certainly cannot justify paying to fix a manufacturer defective product.
My opinion on it is that they should provide the service through their dealer network. Won't work for everyone, but isn't that what a dealer network is for?
Estaría bien que tuviese los subtítulos, y si es con la opción en Español sería genial
Es capaz de traducirse automáticamente al español para mí, ¿aún no te aparece?
Ahora si. Gracias 😉
Cash Cow
New firmware to fix ESC!
yup
It's over price for what it is a sledge would be better value and durable if driven right
1,000,001 episodes. 🤣
I see what you did there!
Another downside is price
First :P
always!
Brushless electric has gotten so boring to me. It’s nice looking sure but sounds like a vacuum cleaner. No soul at all. All my vehicles are nitro. To bad nitro options are very limited. Brushless was fun for a while as a novelty. Now iits everywhere. .
Performance and reliability makes up for it but nitro is still cool
Both have their places. But nothing more fun than a nitro on a track, that’s for sure!
