Kraton Kraton 6S EXB or BLX

[JSnook]

You’ve got good 4S electronics on the shelf, 2000KV motor, 4S ESC and batteries. Do you just run that in the EXB roller for a while and upgrade to 6S later or get the RTR and slowly upgrade to EXB(or similar) durability parts later? I’d love to get the EXB, I just don’t know if the Kraton would be too much car for my motor and esc.

Imo go with the EXB Kraton.
Better starting platform and it's fun to do a build

On the flip side I hear the Kraton RTR is a beast out of the box and that the chassis rarely bend (maybe even less than the EXB?) Someone with more experience could confirm but I hear very little bad things about the RTR.

I also hear the EXB is one tough cookie as well

Do you know the current on that ESC? 8th scale has quite a bit of weight, I would want at least a 150A esc (even with 4S).

I’m pretty certain the EXB chassis is made out of a much stronger grade aluminum. Same with the rest of the aluminum red parts.

This is all I’ve been able to find on the ESC.

up to you the diffs are better in the EXB and the chassis braces that's it as far as I at concerned
