Looks good!

Nice comparison beside the Infraction! Looks almost the same length..although I’m sure the K8S has a more impressive stature..

Very nice! You got the fast color too ? It's good to see that these are starting to land in the hands of masses. It's such a cool truck. I am definitely biased but I would take this over an Xmaxx any day ???

i thought the infraction was huge when i got it but looks smaller now
the picture does lie a bit, the kraton is longer wider and yes more impressive

yes, they finally arrived in Sweden, the UK guys got theirs last week. The Kraton is really cool but if you like monster trucks though the x-maxx ain't bad, the Kraton is more like a very large truggy.

Congrats @servalac! I saw one for the first time yesterday and was in awe of its size. Hope you have an airport close by where you can launch that monster????

It's funny. A lot of people will bemoan the fact that it isn't a monster truck but they have no problem bashing their 6s trucks ? As far as I'm concerned, Arrma doesn't make a 6s monster truck even though people will call the Outcast one. The only difference between it and a Kraton is a shortened chassis. The rest of the truck is the same!

i agree, arrma does not make a real monster truck, the closest one was the big rock imo, idk granite ?. i really believe arrma will release the Outcast as an 1/5 soon, like you say same stuff except short chassi and body

Every Arrma is a monster! Scary beasts that will bite you if you're not careful. Not sure why there needs to be justifications by so many people on what they call their rc's. If you're not racing or crawling, than aren't they all just bashers?

The narrow arms on a Granite make it a MT to me. It’s all subjective tho

I got the same one and I love it as well - didnt take any pictures right out the box so no longer as clean

Have you taken it out already - whats your thoughts on its out of the box behaviour?

I think your ramp is way to wide. You have almost half an inch on either side of those wheels. Doesn't seem very challenging?Looks like you had tons of fun, at least that's what the giggling lead me to believe. Bash on brother???
