Max 8- is an ESC-it is the power plant of the vehicle. Electronic Speed Control
As far as the Kraton, You can get a new one from Tower Hobbies for $425 shipped with warranty when in stock. The BLX 200 esc that comes in the Arrma Nero is a less programable Hobbywing Max8 built for Arrma. They are 150amp water proof powerful escs. The stock Kraton has an esc built by Hobbywing that is also 150amp but a little less frills, it is a WP 150 BL. I believe. The setup in the picture appears to be a combo with a 2200kv motor compared to the 2050 that come stock, less torque and more top end but can be geared either way. It sells for about $190 on eBay
In my opinion, not a bad deal with the batteries pictured. The motor and esc are superior to stock. If it is like new I would consider. However, you won't see that much difference in performance and you can get it new with warranty for less.
A win either way
Good luck and let us know how it works out

Thank you Jlolley! He is also throwing in an extra new body. This Kraton has upgraded front bumper, wheelie bar, and updated rear wing and 6s battery. He sent me pics and has receipts. My dilemma is there are no Kratons available anywhere and now Tower Hobbies is saying they 'think' now late July. Need to pick one up and get used to it as my son and I are driving (road trip) to Portland (to visit my buddy and his son who run Losi's) early August.

It's a better than stock Kraton from the looks of it. Fun trucks to drive, you will like it .

I 'd like to assume any upgrade is good XD
You should ask which servo it is; I am curious as well!
Good price. I got mine with an upgraded motor, esc, transmitter, receiver, wheelie bar, and a few other little things for $500, and that was a really sweet deal.

Yeah that looks like a good deal to me. If you have the chance to test before buying I would be all over it.

How is it slow? Like no top end or no torque? Have you checked the punch setting?
No top end speed
You may need to gear up. What size is the motor?
Nothing with gearing using the same combo that i used to wreak havoc with with the stock system.
Its also the torque.
Its like im running a 3d but it does detect a 6s.
I’m just throwing stuff out here but could there be a bad connection on the RX or the motor timing setting have anything to do with it? The drivetrain is free?
