You need to join our group: https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/rcholics-not-so-anonymous.9815/ . You will find many who have fought the battle similar to yours. There is a light and the end of this rc affliction tunnel.Don't come down under....I'd be only too happy to buy a Kraton for even $600! I paid $729 for mine at the end of last year from my LHS, could have got slightly cheaper on line but would have been up for postage so much of a muchness.
I looked at Traxxas before buying my Kraton as I have a 2wd stampede and like the guys say, Traxxas do a good job making their rigs look good but I did considerable research ($700+ will do that to you) and the Kraton became a no brainer for me and since buying it I could not be happier with the choice.
As for the tires, I have no issue with the stock ones at this stage, but like others have said it depends on what you are doing and the type of terrain. I have a set of Backflips ready to go for when I need them (another $120 so super envious of you US guys) but for now I'm not needing them but will prob given them a crack this weekend.
Your money, your choice. Remember this is an Arrma forum so while I believe the opinions here are balanced due to many guys having both as you have read, you might also want to drop the same post on the Traxxas forum....I know I would.....but I'd also buy the Kraton any day.
