Thoughts on New Kraton 8s EXB

[MrJoe]

Couldn't see a post like this so just wanted to get peoples thoughts on the new Kraton 8s EXB.

Are there any issues with it out of the box or any must do mods? How durable are the diffs and electronics?

This thing is pretty much good to go out of the box and loaded with every single EXB part with a 7075 chassis plate.

It also runs on the next gen V2 of Spektrum electronics built by Hobbywing (per ARRMA specs).

I don't see a need to upgrade anything on this.

I got one last week only run it twice once off road and once on road. runs really good for a 5th scale which weights a ton but don't no how durable it is yet but watching rcdude 81 its going to last me a lifetime

Typically come under geared for the general public. Don't waste your time with the stock pinion as a seasoned basher.

yes I put a 26t pinion on stock is 23t been advised to put a 28t on though. don't need it to be too fast where I run
