Kraton EXB vs RTR Kraton

[mariniam]

Hi everyone happy to be here!

I'm between buying the EXB or RTR v5 kraton and cost is not a concern atm.

My question, is an EXB with a Max6 4985sl combo superior speedwise to the v5 RTR on 6S ?

Bashwise I know the EXB is tougher than the RTR so no issues there.

Many Thanks

Speed is about the same between the Max6 4985 combo and the stock system the 4985 just has a lot more torque and for me it runs a lot cooler.

Would going for the Castle 1/6 setup make any sense on 6S? It costs almost double!

I can only recommend what I'm running. I bought the exb kraton and installed a Spektrum 1250kv motor with the 160amp esc. I went with a protek 370tbl black label servo and I'm really happy so far. I have options with pinion choice, tons of power and I can for fun run 8s if I'm wanting to do so. My temps have been fine?

Exb is in here in the UK tomorrow, mine will be getting the 4985 combo I have waiting on the shelf, 4 and a bit months wait has seemed like an eternity.

If cost is not an issue, pick one and bling it out with M2C stuff. Otherwise the choice comes down to whether or not you want stock electronics or something better.
