Tear it Up with the 2018 ARRMA Kraton 6S BLX Monster Truck

If your search for speed has left you empty-handed, you'll love what ARRMA has planned for their 2018 Kraton 6S BLX. This 1/8-scale R/C monster truck is not only big on size, but it also packs a wallop in the power department, thanks in full to a brushless motor and 6S LiPo capability.

While previous versions of this model weren't slouches, the team at ARRMA has sprinkled some nice enhancements throughout this machine, making it more durable and agile in the process.

For starters, the Kraton 6S BLX now includes adjustable, oil-filled shocks that use a 4mm shaft. That beefed-up suspension is only part of the story, as the chassis also received a stiffer servo mount, front and rear chassis braces, bulkheads, and more. Along with those performance improvements, two color options are available, red/black and green/black.

A Tactic TTX300 transmitter is included, providing range, control, and comfort while you tear up terrain and torture the tires. Waterproof electronics throughout the new Kraton model allow you to keep running hard, even when the weather becomes soggy.
