ARRMA's Kraton EXB Extreme Bash Roller 1/8-scale Monster Truck

By: Tim Gluth

ARRMA has taken the wraps off their latest creation, the Kraton EXB Speed Monster Truck. What sets this beast apart from their Kraton 8S BLX is the fact that this machine is a fully-optioned roller, allowing you to select your electronics to make it move.

Since the Kraton EXB is based on it's ready-to-run (RTR) brother, you're getting quite a bit of durability built into this model right off the bat. However, ARRMA has amped up the durability and performance of their Extreme Bash Roller with a number of pre-installed hop-up parts, including all metal internal gears, anodized red aluminum support braces, aluminum-capped heavy-duty suspension arms, and more.
