Description

The KRATON 1/5 8S Speed Monster Truck showcases ARRMA bashing performance at its biggest and best — and in this new ready-to-run version, it's better than ever before. Loaded with EXtreme Bash parts for improved durability, plus a powerful 8S LiPo-capable Spektrum brushless system, the ARRMA KRATON 1/5 8S EXB Speed Monster Truck RTR is the ultimate Speed Monster Truck experience for large-scale bashers. The new Spektrum 8S-capable brushless system is more powerful than ever. It features a massive 5687 FIRMA 1100Kv brushless motor, with a huge 56mm diameter and 10% more torque than the previous KRATON 8S RTR motor. The new motor is paired with a Spektrum S6510 steel gear servo that offers 820 oz-in of torque at 8.4V — nearly 50% more torque than its predecessor. The new RTR package also includes a Spektrum FIRMA 160A V2 Smart ESC and Spektrum DX3 3-channel 2.4GHz DSMR radio system with Spektrum AVC technology built-in to keep the huge power under control. Numerous EXB-hardened parts and options give the ready-to-run ARRMA KRATON 1/5 8S EXtreme Bash Speed Monster Truck virtually unstoppable strength right out of the box. They include a 5mm thick EXB 7075 T6 CNC aluminum laser-etched chassis plate; EXB red-anodized CNC aluminum front brace mount; and EXB front bumper with impact-absorbing design. Topping it off is a monster truck body finished with an aggressive new EXB color scheme for a look unlike any other vehicle. No "Candy Crush" designs here — the KRATON 1/5 8S EXtreme Bash Speed Monster Truck is built to be as purposeful as it looks! Adjustable, oil-filled, 20mm bore shocks with 6mm thick shock shafts and ultra-thick composite towers soak up bumps. The KRATON 1/5 8S EXtreme Bash Speed Monster Truck RTR blasts over dirt, asphalt, and grass — all terrain and all conditions. Beefy dBoots COPPERHEAD 2 big block tires on multi-spoke wheels with durable hubs add all-terrain traction. Everything in the durable design contributes to confident control and responsive handling at high speeds. A center body support, aluminum center braces and composite chassis side pods add more strength. All-metal diff outdrives and gearbox internals, plus durable steel driveshafts, provide a reliable, heavy-duty drivetrain that holds up to extreme, high-speed bashing. ARRMA keeps your maintenance downtime to the minimum with its proven efficient, easy-access modular design. Considering its performance, convenience, and value, the KRATON 1/5 8S EXtreme Bash Speed Monster Truck is more than a massive and powerful bashing machine. It's the biggest and best ARRMA ready-to-run basher to date! EXB (EXtreme Bash) Components In The Box Needed to Complete ARRMA's biggest RTR speed monster truck now has EXtreme Bash toughness everywhere it counts, plus a powerful 8S LiPo-capable Spektrum brushless system and aggressive new EXB color scheme. Bash with more power and more control, at a game-changing value! Heavy-duty components including the 8mm thick steel rear turnbuckles and 7mm thick steel steering turnbuckles enable the 1/5 scale KRATON EXB to withstand extreme off-road bashing. Mounted on ultra-thick composite front and rear towers and featuring plush shock tuning, the adjustable, oil-filled, 20mm bore shocks with 6mm thick shock shafts easily soak up bumps. Beefy dBoots COPPERHEAD 2 big block tires on multi-spoke wheels with durable hubs deliver all-terrain traction — and add an aggressive edge to the EXB matte and gloss effect finished truck body. ARRMA holds your maintenance downtime to the minimum with an efficient, driver-friendly design. For example, the easy-access, 3-bolt sliding motor mount allows quick motor removal. The easy-access, molded electronics module screwed to the chassis contains a waterproof receiver box, servo mount and ESC tray — ready to protect the electronics from dirt and moisture Durable steel driveshafts plus all-metal diff outdrives and gearbox internals keep the heavy-duty 4-wheel drivetrain rolling over punishing tracks.

  • Love this truck!
Frickn love this truck! I was disappointed that parts aren't upgraded to aluminum diffs, etc. like the 6s exb is. For me that was a big part of the exb selling point, to see that was not the case for the 8s was as I said disappointing. The truck is a blast, no problems at all, aside from it not rolling away from a head on collision @ roughly 60mph with a boulder unscathed 🤣. Even then only required about $100 in replacement parts & it was good as new. Huge perk to this truck is the availability of replacement & aftermarket parts on amazon & aliexpress you wont find as many options for the 8s as you will the 6s but man is this thing huge, stable & a speed demon! ... show more

  • Fast Fun
Lot of fun. On the expensive side but worth it, if you’re into RC cars and bashers. Plenty of speed and power. Comes with all the necessary upgrades already installed, although there is still room for improvement. Compared to different brands, this one comes with an aluminum chassis, opposed to most having a plastic chassis. So for the money, you actually feel like you’re receiving something substantial, opposed to engineered plastic. It’s really fast too. But yourself a wheelie bar, you will need it. ... show more

  • Impressive vehicle
What's not to love about this thing. Big, heavy and powerful. Got it 4 months ago and have run her maybe 15 packs. No issues that can't be fixed with the included tools.

  • Incredible!!!
ARRMA Kraton 8S has to be the best RC vehicle in the world. I sent this truck off a jump a distance of 87 feet, landed on cement, and drove away like nothing. The sound of that landing sounded like a gun shot echoed through the park canyon. I’m literally trying to break this thing and it won’t break. ARRMA made it so your RC doesn’t break anymore if you run into something, but God help whatever you run into. I did break a couple minor easy to replace parts after beating this RC up a lot, but that was totally expected and I intended to push this to the breaking point. If you plan on just racing and hitting just regular jumps at the track, you will never break this RC. Thank you ARRMA!!! I won’t buy any other brand now!!! ... show more

  • The best!
Arrma's 6s Kraton is my absolute favorite RC of all time but the 8s is also excellent! I have owned well over 100 RC cars. I currently have somewhere between 70 to 80 I would guess. I've owned more than a dozen Kratons, in all of their various sizes. This is one of the funnest, most durable, extremely capable and overall great value of any RC car for heavy bashing. I have abused these vehicles. I mean abused! To the point that if they were alive, I would be arrested without a doubt and locked away for many, many decades lol. When you take them to the skate park and hit a quarter pipe at 50+ MPH, they defy gravity and physics! There's something amazing about a nearly indestructible RC car! I send mine vertically at over 50 miles an hour, heading to the moon! It can land absolutely horribly and most likely, you'll be able to do it a bunch of times before you break something, if at all. When you gain some skill with air control (this car is excellent at handling in the air, almost as good as the Notorious 6s), you will be able to land on all fours absorbing forces and extending the life of your nearly immortal RC car. Don't get me wrong, you will break stuff. But if you're used to something like Traxxas you can unbuckle your seatbelt and breathe now, you found Arrma! You can now spend much less money on better products. You will not be having to repair nearly as often and although upgrading is fun it is not necessary with Arma like it is with Traxxas. ... show more

  • Buy locally. This company will not support Lemons or call you back
Horrible company, buy this locally if you can. This company will not return phone calls or talk to you. They only want to email. If you are new to this hobby and don't know how to break it down and repair it. I will advise to buy locally. Out the box rc leaked and the second time I run it. Wouldn't start up. Took it to my local hobby spot to figure out what's wrong and it almost caught fire while they were looking at it. This is ridiculous, for something so expensive. I didn't jump it or do anything to this car. Not sure why it's bad. But it will be returned. ... show more
