#ARRMA KRATON VS E REVO UPDATE#
#ARRMA KRATON VS E REVO SERIES#

The WideMaxx kit puts it just over 16'.Doubtful. Almost the same length and height, yet the Maxx has a 14.5' width and T-Maxx at 16.5'. Look at the original T-Maxx that came out over 20 years ago. To me, it was a pure cash grab for Traxxas. The WideMaxx kit puts it where it should've been from the factory. Rolls over easily in the grass at low/moderate speeds on 3S. Turning radius seems large on the Kraton on my initial run. Going to tear it apart once I get the diff fluid and check to see if it needs shimmed. Haven't heard much of the V5 Kraton diffs yet, but hoping they hold up. I don't go for huge air, so hopefully I won't be a casualty of that. Although, the plastic chassis on a Traxxas can flex and be okay.if an aluminum chassis 'flexes'.well, it's going to stay 'flexed'. I do like the aluminum chassis and layout of the Arrma more than an Erevo/comparable Traxxas. Traxxas has really built their cars to be easier to use - clipless body system is effortless, their battery trays are quicker than the velcro system (I never cared for the Erevo battery trays, however).

Traxxas has the better radio, the TQ series remotes have always been issue free with good enough range/etc and they just feel more premium than the Kraton's (my V5 radio didn't have any issues) Some differences in my opinion comparing my Traxxas experience and this Kraton as a RTR unit:

I'll have to update in a few weeks once I have some time with it. That should be arriving in the next day or two. The center diff definitely needs higher diff fluid for my liking. Only drove it around (no jumps yet) for about 5-10 minutes and liking it so far. Been a bit busy and just started tearing off my roof this week. Now that's it's been 10+ years, Arrma has come a long way. Plus, back then Arrma was just starting out. I'm certainly not biased towards just one RC company, but Traxxas just had the better looking cars/trucks to me that suited my tastes. Was really tough but decided to take a risk and see if Arrma is as good as everyone claims it to be. The new Erevo 2.0 intrigued me as it got rid of the slipper clutch and upgraded the diffs. As this V5 gets more time on the market, hoping to see how it performs with the new chassis design, better TX/RX, etc. I hope I made the right choice! I know the first thing I need to do is add heavier fluid to the center diff. Spent many hours debating between the Erevo 2.0 and the new V5 Kraton 6S (for less than a Maxx, at $570). Had the 8S Xmaxx for a year or so (awesome truck, just too big for our house/yard.) and also a 1st gen ERBE. I've previously owned many Traxxas vehicles. So we just picked up the Maxx kit today (make that $600 now for the truck). Indeed think it's overpriced at $550, especially considering my wife is tired of it flipping over in the backyard at moderate speeds. Great little truck have only been running it on 3S thus far. Recently got back into the hobby and bought the wife a Traxxas Maxx.

I hope I made the right choice.first ever Arrma!
