Infraction Kraton or Infraction?

[TN-RC]

I was thinking about getting a 6S arrma and I was deciding between the kraton 6s and the infraction 6s I was wondering what you guys thought, I have talked to two people and they both say infraction over Kraton.

So very different, depends on what you want to do.

 

[GRIFFINJ]

That like asking, should I buy a Corvette or an Escalade.

they are both near the same price, but completely different vehicles

I have both and like them both, but rarely take them out for the same type of bashing.

 

[Engineer]

As above, totally different. What you want to do should dictate which one you buy.

 

[Sosnl]

I have a kraton and I would very much like to have the infraction
but the answer has already been given to you. Because you have to ask yourself what you want to do with it

 

[Hammer Down]

I only see one solution to this dilemma...
You need both!!

 

[Just Joe]

I agree with Hammer Down's solution!! I have the kraton 6s & waiting for my infraction to show up at my LHS

 

[arrmadillo]

Ones street, other bash, what do you want to do. Infraction can't bash offroad.

 

[sanara.kenshin]

Get a Typhon and truggify it. Then get some MX28 for bash and Hoons for street/drift.

 

[LuigiMain]

Kraton because off-road is just more fun

 

[beefy nugz]

On road - speed runs- drifting = INFRACTION!

On road - dirt/mud/sand/snow/water - speed runs - bashing - massive air jumps = KRATON!

your choice!

 

[L3phturn]

Kraton EXB. Get a set of Hoons to run it on the street and you are set.

 

[Lukas412]

I have both. I think they are both really fun, but if I had to choose one it would be the Kraton. Its so versatile, and I love sending it.

Take into acct. you will be putting new tires on an infraction more often.

 

[jkflow]

Infraction - road only and cost $50 every 10 packs for GRP tires, make that $70 for Hoons plus the occasional $15 front splitter.
Kraton - $20 each pack if you are new to jumping, until you are experienced and upgraded all your stuff, that is averaged over 10 packs. Typically you break something you can fix and that is not in the above.

Look at the area you will run in before you pick something. Infractions needs a good road/parking place with lots of free room.
Kraton needs gras/dirt areas. Not all that great on the road unless you change tires but it's not an onroad car.

Like most of the other folks, I have both. If I had a choice again, I'd prefer the Talion over the Kraton but that is how you feel.

 

[TriggerHappy]

Or infraction if goes offroad @75mph= out big$$$$$$$$

 

[arrmadillo]

Like others have said, set of tires for Infraction are $60 a pop. Imagine some people get Infraction because it's cool but don't have the budget to constantly go through tires and become discouraged/buyers remorse.

 

[Onnexx]

If its your first I'd go Kraton. If you get tired of the Kraton, you can easily convert to an Outcast with little more than a chassis swap and if you want to go typhon(few more parts necessary of course), you can do that as well and still use 3.8" size tires with the spiral gears(ring&pinion) in the Kraton. Also they aren't lying about the infraction tire cost, you can easily burn through a full set in one run with long burnout or an unlucky rock chipping the tread. To be honest though I agree with Hammer Down, your going to wind up with both so you might as well get the off roader first and then get the infraction later.

 

[parcou]

I only have the one on your list, Infraction. As others said have a budget for tires if you bash it...speed runs you can get a bit more life.

Good luck!

What one do you like better?

I have both and like them both, but rarely take them out for the same type of bashing.

I know, I have a slash and getting a Ruckus or a stamped.

Get a Typhon and truggify it. Then get some MX28 for bash and Hoons for street/drift.
