First of all, THIS THING IS A BEAST! Watching the Amazon delivery guy carrying this huge box up my driveway brought a grin to my face like a 5 year old kid!
First I’ll point out the absolute uncalled for oversights on an RC car of this caliber/price point. EVERY SINGLE BOLT AND NUT WAS LOOSE! front wheel nut was literally about to fall off. I went through and tightened everything right out if the box and literally every single bolt and screw was loose.
And with all the issues reported of steering servos frying out, it’s absolutely unbelievable that there’s nothing in the manual about setting the servo end point adjustment! This thing was set WAY TOO HIGH putting unnecessary strain on the servo, I went through and readjusted following a YouTube video on how to do it.
No included front bumper or wheelie bar is kind of a punch in the gut when shelling out this much cash on an RC. I mean seriously, how much would it have possibly cost them to include these two plastic parts!? Petty stinginess imo to make the customer have to go out and buy these parts that should be standard equipment on the truck.
Also, there’s a lot of people complaining about turning radius being terrible but I haven’t had any issues, in fact I was driving It in the tight confines of my backyard making turns just fine manipulating the brake to help aid digging into a tight turn.
I’ll update this review as time goes on but initial impressions are great. This thing absolutely rips right out of the box! My street in under construction at the moment which is perfect timing to have this truck. I’m having a blast ripping up and down the street. This thing makes some serious noise at WOT and with the loud tires resonating at speed, it’s impossible not to have a grin from ear to ear while driving this thing. I’d hate to get hit in the shins by this thing at WOT. Probably take a leg clean off! This thing is definitely not a toy and could cause some MAJOR damage to people, pets, property etc adult supervision mandatory

This is a proper hobby grade monster truck. I have been flying RC aircraft and driving RC cars/trucks/boats for decades. Let me tell you, it is a quality built item. Competes and is superior to Traxxas depending on who you ask. It is very powerful, brushless powered off two 3s 5000+ lipo batteries with EC5 connectors. It is also very fast and big and heavy, therefore I only recommend for experienced RC drivers. You crash this into someone at full speed 50-60mph and guaranteed they will need to go to the hospital ER. Be careful, this is not a simple kids toy.
Excellent, durable and powerful RC vehicle. Not for the inexperienced or children.
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2021
It is fully waterproof, has very good suspension and large tires, it will go over any terrain. Make sure to have plenty of space and first tune the suspension and steering on flat concrete road.
Things I like over my Traxxas products. Price, aluminum parts everywhere, 6s capable, more stable at high speeds compared to Traxxas trucks, shocks have rubber shielding for dust protection, rubber protected bearings installed as well, and the screws do not rust as easy.
Most importantly, learn about LIPO battery safety. LIPO batteries if stored or charged incorrectly are an extreme fire hazard that HAVE burned peoples homes and buildings down in the past. Learn how to correctly handle these batteries. In a dedicated fireproof container, and always supervise the batteries while charging. Never leave unattended! Have fun! :)

Fast, Durable, Fun
Color: RedVerified Purchase
I thought I enjoyed my 1/16 scale car. This Kraton is way better. Note, this is my first larger RC car, so my judgement is based on limited RC knowledge. (I'm an RC noob). Started using Jan 11 this review is Jan 23.NatalieFast, Durable, Fun
Reviewed in Canada on January 24, 2024
Pro's:
- Durable: I've been jumping it every day for the past week, some good landings some not so great. Keep in mind it's -20C here, so I was definitely concerned about snapping anything and everything. It's holding up great.
- Speed: For the price, this thing is fast. I haven't switched the pinion, not sure if I will or not as I don't really intend on doing speed runs with it, but it still hauls, and handles well through snowy terrain.
Handling: ......I don't have much to compare it to, I would say it handles quite well.
Cons:
- Not really a con, but....You do need a lot of space to rip this thing, my track in the back yard is about 60' by 50' and there is no way I'm hitting top speed without flying off every side of the track.....and I do
- Every battery seems to have a different connection type, be prepared to buy adaptors.
- Too early to tell, it's too much fun to bash it already ;)
Things to consider before buying based on budget:
- You will burn through batteries like they are going out of style if you are running hard. I'm running 2 Roaringtop 5200mAh 3S 50C. I get about 20-25min of run time before it shuts down. (Technically these batteries are 2mm (H) too big....Velcro holds them in place perfectly)
- If you plan on going to events or hanging out with friends and driving for hours, make sure to stock up on either large batteries, or a handful of backups....Maybe a charger as well (Batteries like to charge slow)
- Battery types: Honestly, I know nothing about battery brands, so I'm testing out the cheapy's and so far so good. I've browsed though a ton on Amazon and made a list (Posted in the pics attached) and sorted them by price per mAh (After tax after including the promotional discounts) .....I'm not a mathematician, use at your own risk ;) I'll get to reviewing a few more once I get more.
The Hoovo 10000 mAh is catching my eye. Note, it does say it's 11 mm too longs, but I think it will fit with the extra room in the battery slot, and it would be great to have the extra run time.

KRATON 6s best out there
Color: RedVerified Purchase
after i got big rock i was so happy with it we decided to get another arrma truck and this time we ordered KRATON 6s and lets just say its a big upgrade! car is big heavy and of very good quality. no issues so far but it does need some work out the box! service and shim the diffs out the box and i suggest to undo pinion and reapply threadlock as it came loose on our car and we had to replace the pinion. but other than that its strong and had no failures yet when our big rock already need diff rebuild after just 3 weeks of use on weekends. this is very stable at speed and on 6s theres loads of power and speed so needs a little getting used to that it takes time to stop all that weight at speed. suspension is good and you can easly do speed runs on grass with full controll. servo is weak from the box so that will need an upgrade but i knew that before we ordered. i think it will be the first component to fail. Well worth the money and great fun!!!SkyisthelimitKRATON 6s best out there
