First of all, THIS THING IS A BEAST! Watching the Amazon delivery guy carrying this huge box up my driveway brought a grin to my face like a 5 year old kid! First I’ll point out the absolute uncalled for oversights on an RC car of this caliber/price point. EVERY SINGLE BOLT AND NUT WAS LOOSE! front wheel nut was literally about to fall off. I went through and tightened everything right out if the box and literally every single bolt and screw was loose. And with all the issues reported of steering servos frying out, it’s absolutely unbelievable that there’s nothing in the manual about setting the servo end point adjustment! This thing was set WAY TOO HIGH putting unnecessary strain on the servo, I went through and readjusted following a YouTube video on how to do it. No included front bumper or wheelie bar is kind of a punch in the gut when shelling out this much cash on an RC. I mean seriously, how much would it have possibly cost them to include these two plastic parts!? Petty stinginess imo to make the customer have to go out and buy these parts that should be standard equipment on the truck. Also, there’s a lot of people complaining about turning radius being terrible but I haven’t had any issues, in fact I was driving It in the tight confines of my backyard making turns just fine manipulating the brake to help aid digging into a tight turn. I’ll update this review as time goes on but initial impressions are great. This thing absolutely rips right out of the box! My street in under construction at the moment which is perfect timing to have this truck. I’m having a blast ripping up and down the street. This thing makes some serious noise at WOT and with the loud tires resonating at speed, it’s impossible not to have a grin from ear to ear while driving this thing. I’d hate to get hit in the shins by this thing at WOT. Probably take a leg clean off! This thing is definitely not a toy and could cause some MAJOR damage to people, pets, property etc adult supervision mandatory

This truck is powerful, fast, and durable! The rugged tires handle any terrain, and the suspension ensures smooth rides. Perfect for off-road fun. Just remember to get batteries and a charger separately. Highly recommended!

This thing is an absolute beast. I really dont have much to criticize about it. The pros: Plenty of power on 6s. I haven't even bothered to put in the speed pinion yet. The bash capabilities out of the box are awesome. Ive run several packs doing moderate jumps and bashing and ir handles well. Performs well in wet and muddy conditions. The mud flaps on the front keep them inside relatively clean and dry. Its a wheelie monster. I love that it can easily pop and hold a wheelie even at high speeds. I could go on and on. The cons: It really should have come with a beefy fan. I wouldnt trust running the speed pinion for very long, even on pavement on a cool day. The motor runs hot on 6s with moderate driving even on pavement. The stock steering and servo suck. It doesnt steer very well at a stand still. The servo saver is too loose. The steering servo is slow. There is too much understeer so it takes a huge tuening radius to turn around, so it doesnt do too well at evasive maneuvering. If i wasnt a cautious person I would have smashed the arms like many others have done. I dont think it needs aluminum arms, it just need quicker steering. The battery tray could be a little better designed. You cant stack 2 hard case 3s lipos as the height of the case is not enough. The height adjustment needs to have more lock in locations instead of 1. I just remove it, put the batteries in, then use the horizontal strap to hold it down. All in all i give 5 stars, just be ready to do a few mods if you arent that great of a driver.

If you are reading reviews, you are probably looking to either compare this truck to another truck you are trying to decide between. This is not a review for you. If you have decided on the Kraton, here's what you should know: This thing is FAST! you can take a turn at full speed, and it is AGILE and will make the turn instead of tipping over and rolling. It comes with the optional high-speed pinion, but honestly, why use that if you can't keep it on while off roading? The difference in speed is about 10mph, and with the off-road pinion, you still go about 50mph and can bash, jump, crawl, do everything else too. Radio --> calibrate it! Out of the box, my left-turn limit on the servo was not the full left-turn travel of my wheels, and the right-turn was MORE than the travel, which was straining the servo. Calibration is easy, so do it. The throttle and brake were set to full (that's standard), but this thing has so much power that I set the reverse travel to a lot less so that when I back up the truck doesn't reverse 10 feet in half a second. Spare parts! If you are not jumping very high (not high = 5 feet or so imo), so long as you are landing on all four wheels, you will probably be able to jump for a year before parts break. But you didn't get this truck to hold back. The truck has the high-end parts that are most expensive to replace made of metal. My suggestion is to NOT replace the parts made of plastic - you want something to absorb the shock of a bad landing or very hard landing by flexing, and honestly by breaking before the expensive parts break. If you replace it all with metal, then you lose the flex and the expensive things will break more than they would otherwise. The parts that will break the most from bashing - shock arms (rear more than front in my experience). I bought several sets, and mud guards for the rears (mud guards keep rocks out of the moving/spinning parts in the rear). Last, buy the RPM or Arrma extre bash skid plates and front bumper. This thing doesn't have a front bumper, which is a huge risk because if you go full speed into something or land on the nose accidentally, the bumper flexes and takes the hit. Without it, your servo, steering arms, and the momentum of the entire car has nowhere to go but the solid front of the car - you'll break really expensive things if you crash without a front bumper. Have fun!
