I love the honesty great job vas!!!

This is by far the best, most objective and fairest review of that car - not so much brand-driven and more (too) forgiving like others. So thank you for that! I hope Arrma notices that in a positive way. You're not doing them a favor in a long run if you just love everything blindly that they do and praise the ground they're walking on. I wholeheartedly agree their intentions were the best (I guess really everyone agrees on that) but their testing seems to be flawed because otherwise they should have noticed the twistend and bended chassis which occured massively right after start. They improved certain things like the more shimmed diffs, the motor mount and servo saver but really wrecked some other areas to a bigger and more expensive extent (radio and tower brace) and that all for higher price than before and part support still sucks. So either they should stiffen up the chassis plate for the V5’s with 7075 aluminium and maybe 1mm more thickness or deliver the car already with aluminium or steel chassis braces and a good radio.

@@richduperbash2966 and Vas, So far on my Kraton V4, I've put on Voltage chassis braces and purchased a new radio system. I'm not a wealthy man by any stretch so I went with the RadioLink system (not loving the antenna on rx or tx) but the price is right and got a semi deal. The chassis braces from Voltage are a standard upgrade for my rigs already so they were ordered when I ordered the truck sight unseen. Automatic upgrade imo. I've run the new Kraton through maybe three packs but got scared to continue with so many ugly stories about radio failure / *failsafe. Hence shopping and settling on RadioLink. I really like the tires, love the sliding motor mount, and am indifferent about the T2T brace...which didn't sell me on the truck anyway. These (maybe necessary) upgrades don't run me off or make me feel disappointed in Arrma at all because I find it refreshing that they obviously at least try to make improvements based on consumer loyalty and feedback. Still, I know I can blast any of my Arrma rigs considerably harder than any other rtr available by a huge margin. Great review and great feedback from the Arrma bashing community here. I'll always support and stand by #ArrmaTough 👍💪👌🍻😊

Awesome review Vas. Thanks for keeping it honest and legit. I hope Arrma realizes you speak for all of us and takes the criticism positively and addresses the issues.

Thumbs up for a very reasoned review. A lot of us don't do the jumping you do, live in the USA and would naturally/understandably figure a higher value for the Kraton 6S.

Great job a fair review

Well done brother. Very well covered review on the V4 Kraton. I don't mind "Change" but it must be for the betterment and positive outcome not negative and issues. I hope they'll address the radio issue with the V4 line. T2T brace sounds good and looks good but if you think and look a bit deeper on what the issue and what you are trying to protect the T2T in my honest opinion is Not the right choice or option to take. Better quality or thicker chassis or aluminum chassis braces has to be considered a better option. Hopefully parts availability ramps up soon especially where you are brother. I applaud Arrma for all the improvements done on the V4 line and the 3S and 4S Rigs. Arrma RC a truly basher at Heart company.

great that you pointed out the servo. I never had an issue with the steering servo the only time i had issue with the servo is when my coworker cranked the dual rate up and stripped it out. if that didnt happen i wouldve still been running my stock steering servo in my 2018 Outcast. My Kraton V4 is still running stock eletrics minus the radio. The chassis does bend but i just use the M2C chassis and its dialed.

Great review

Great review 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you, Vas, for providing this honest review. It's a shame that Arrma didn't equip these V4 trucks with aluminum chassis braces instead of the tower-to-tower brace. It seems the cost would have been fairly similar. Ironically, the T-to-T brace appears to breaking the plastic chassis braces. Arrma's going to have to address this.

The chassis braces are more eye candy than anything. They always cause forces to build up at the chassis' motor mount section, leading to the bowing. Then add the under-engineered T2T brace that don't actually incorporate the towers & then you have a problem which all elements together is jacking up the chassis rather than keeping it straight. So these cars either need a stronger chassis, stronger braces, or both. A M2C 7075 chassis with aluminum braces is so strong that it doesn't need the T2T. Of course, forces will still be built up @ the motor mount section, but the chassis can easily handle it. There are also several brands with super weak 6061 chassis with full upper chassis supports that have absolutely no problems with bending. A full upper support that tie all 3 diffs together is a PITA for maintenance but I've never bent a chassis on any flat plate chassis car I put it on. Arrma needs to go back to the drawing board with these improvements. They're causing more problems than solving. The crappy radio feels like poo, but there are several accounts of steering problems, loss of signal, & runaways. The servo saver is unadjustable & isn't putting enough pressure on the spring in some cases.The adjustable motor mount & ball joint upgrades are awesome. I never had a problem with the pillow balls but I don't see the seal hurting anything. The entire car is give & take, but all the bad is making the thing unbashable out the box.

@AussieRCPlayground

All good points, but a M2C chassis is about $200aud here and despite how tough it might be, that's a very high price to pay. Add that to a $800+ car and you're at grand just so you can jump it? Nah, sorry. Take the T2T brace off and the car is fine as it is. If the chassis bends, then it's because you crashed it, not because you bashed it. But I do agree that ARRMA need to rethink this design. They've taken 2 steps forward and one step back.

@Megasty15

@@AussieRCPlayground The price of the M2C here is tough to swallow as well, which is why I only have 1. I also tried a 6mm thick 7075 chassis - which is fine if you like heavy tanks. It doesn't need any braces at all. It could probably be bent in a 20t press 😅 It's still not heavy enough to cause suspension problems but it does look empty w/o the braces. The AUS dollar being toilet paper, import taxes, & no parts must really be making the hobby hard for you guys. Over here, thanks to the Hobbico stuff, we had nothing (parts, cars, info) for 3-4 months. I can only imagine what it was like there. Hopefully it gets better there soon.

Great review and thanks for the good and simple explanations. Looking at getting the new Notorious myself, will this be impacted the same as the Kraton or will the shorter wheelbase help it from bending so easily with the added t2t brace?

I also miss being able to drive the car one handed like with the tactic radio. Sounds dumb but it bugs me ha ha. I agree with you on the radio. I LOVED the tactic remote. Was a little disappointed. But it does at least do the job. Good range, added features etc.

My LHS has already sold a V4 Typhon, has a V4 Talion and the full range of 3s/4s in stock, so the only reason I can think of for a delay in Kraton V4 is larger markets than ours sucking up supply. You can’t really blame Arrma for making such a popular product, and this isn’t restriction unprecedented with the woes they have had. As an aside though, this review definitely puts to bed the notion that you don’t highlight the negative points 👍

Damn.. i really like to see you talking about the cars, thx for the review and keep doing the great work. Off topic: Where is the senton 1/6 scale and the Arrma anti-X-Maxx? X-maxx needs competition eheh.

Great review again. You are spot on with the parts supply for these trucks. I bought the 4S recently and have needed some spares and it’s been so slow to get parts. Very frustrating having spent the money only to have it sit on the shelf. Coming across from a Traxxas it’s not a great experience.

I agree with your score friend. Good job!!!!!

Nice review Vas, I paid near 900$ in Canada, I put M2C chassis with HR brace, HR arm mount and TTX300 transmitter :)

Enjoyed the review mate, excellently done as usual. Being 1 of those early mt4 G3 owners... I did run two chassis at one point and a tower to tower brace hahahah and then innovative-rc here in the UK came up with a proper chassis and all was sorted for £65 i think it was, and a beautiful chassis that was too.... made the whole car feel like quality rather than rtr. Back to the Kraton... I am going to own an arrma soon!... have to try it, but the bending chassis thing is a bit of a shame.... the price point is the reason though as u point out... to keep that reasonable price something has to give. The way arrma keeps its nose to the ground and keeps making improvements deserves massive respect. Radio though.... must be a horizon hobby deal behind that 1!... a shame as it looks and as u say feels very poor. well done mate. Thumbs UP!

I vote for another interview at the end of the year with Jason Dearden. Would love more input from him and maybe feature some of his design team and company transparency vs consumer feedback.

Brilliant true review as all ways Vaz .. will post to the Arrma UK page if you don’t mind..

Well done video, and I'm impressed with your honesty. I know how hard it is to bite the hand that feeds. IMO, the reason people complain about the STX2 is because the Tactic was such a good RTR radio. But if you look at every other RTR radio from the other companies, they all suck. TQi, DX2E, Associated XP120, Kyosho Synchro-whatever, Redcat radios are a joke... the STX2 is really no worse than the lot of them.

Good review yet again Vas. Sad to see some people think the world is ending for Arrma based on this review. Makes no sense. Even with the problems there are a number of serious improvements and it is still better than Traxxas. The issues simply move it back closer to the pack IMO but definitely not at the back of the pack by a long way. The V4 is still a good car and there aren’t a lot of options that are better...again IMO.

I totally agree with you , I'm in the USA Chicago area and we have lost a lot of Arrma fans with all the new changes , lack of parts and that cheap ass radio . You can get a losi for $249 and they give you a 6 channel receiver with AVC wtf . I try not to say negative things but every since the merger I've noticed a change on durability and still waiting on optional parts .

If you put a capacitor on the aux receiver port it solves most of the signal drop outs and glitches etc. Electric motors and escs can pull large loads and cause momentary current spikes which cause the receiver to reboot. Capacitors are used in all electric cars, helis and drones to filter the noise.

Now you can cut the front and rear tabs off the old chassis and use them as skid plates to protect the new one.

Nice one👍 ARRMA impress me😁. I am still UDR lover...

Just got the v5. Hopes are high.

Real honest review. Wasn’t expecting a 74% score. When I recently got my Outcast I was suprised to see the chassis doesn’t bottom out when the suspension is fully compressed. Luckily I never jump my cars that high so I think it will not be that kind of problem to myself. I sold the tx right away. Didn’t like the feel of it too. Thanks for another awesome review.

Well it doesn’t. Maybe if I press real hard, but that more due to the deformation of the tires perhaps. It’s mainly the front side that’s difficult to bottem out.

I did put aluminum chassis braces and my chassis still bent like the one on this video. I took off the center brace and installed an M2c chassis.

What would be the best material to make the chassis out of? Chrome molley? There's a welding shop by where i live & they got a water jet for cutting out parts.

Wow. I'm less bummed now for having bought the V3 in December :) I agree about parts availability. I'm in Japan and have found no online stores here with parts (but I knew that before I purchased). I order from the USA. Both Horizon and now Tower charge a minimum of $35 to ship even one part. Tower just changed from $6 in April. So... I'm absolutely farked if I can't find a part from another online store with reasonable shipping costs. I just bought an Outcast 4s and broke an A Arm first time out. I could order from Amain but they aren't carrying A Arms for the new Outcast 4s. Hopefully RPM will put some out soon. Makes me wonder if Horizon is stuffing Amain on purpose or not. I'm not paying $43 for one set of A arms. I found them elsewhere for $8 shipping (and my fix is still holding). Oh, and it SUCKS that Arrma didn't include a loop for the Outcast/Kraton 4s. I had to order from China since they were out of stock online everywhere I checked in the USA.

Hey man I have this truck I hate the radio but Separately everyone talks about the 50/75/100 switch when the throttle rate knob dies the same thing I can just turn the knob down when handing off to my kids and turn the power down as much as I want. Second this radio uhg I feel like just like you said such a disconnect I feel like the throttle trigger is just I don't know different every time sometimes I barely touch the trigger and my truck does a back flip sometimes I have to give it full throttle and a second later the truck finally goes that's why I just put flysky in all my arrmas . I wish they would just add 1mm thickness to the chassis on the kraton being so long! Then I wouldn't have to spend 3 hundred dollars on a machined aluminum aftermarket chassis

Does the 1/8 TALION 6S BLX 4WD Brushless V4 have this issue too? Thanks! The frame bending?

In 2017, this got a 5/5 on durability. Is it really just the center rod that actually made it less durable to a point where it got deducted to 3/5? I'm having a harder and harder time deciding between Kraton and Notorious. I like the wheelie-ability of the short wheel base of the Notorious, but seems like handling on Kraton is better based on the styling. I currently only have a Big Rock. Which do you think would be better for me. I'm not looking for more of the same. The Big Rock handles well as it's a long wheelbase (similar to the Kraton), yet it's a monster truck style (similar to Notorious). What else should I be asking myself to pick? I know I want a 6S and one of these two.

Awesome review and video. It makes more sense to get the V3 or V2 right? I don't know honestly. I did buy an ARRMA 4X4 3S granite a few days ago and it came with that nice basic radio and not the the one on this car. But the V4 TALION 6s is on sale right now with 15% off, so the US price is $467 with free shipping. But it comes with that crappy spectrum radio 😂🤔. Subscribed!

Am I the only one mad we can’t get a green one still? As always a great and detailed review bro.

Did they change the diff fluid with these v4’s? Or do the front tires still turn into pizza cutters? The running video seemed to be better tuned? 🤔

do the tires come separate on this truck meaning no rims glued to them?? will these 6s shocks fit the 4s truck?

Do you have a recommendation for a good controller for this RC car ?

Hello!!! Need help... could you create a brace that connects from the rod to the chassis? Also what is the best battery for a cheaper price that’s safe for this car? What a upgrades radio to go with this too? Thanks

My only complaint as a light basher was the "never tight" servo saver. I wish i didnt know what a circlip is now

Great review on it mate nice 4x4 great vid don 👍🤠🇬🇧👌

Amazing review as always!! I really didn’t notice the price jump here in the US? Did it? If so I’d take all the new models into consideration, especially the 4s models.. they have to make up for the R&D that went into those somewhere.. either way thx for ur time bud!

They need to connect that red rod to the chasiss somewhere in the middle with some aluminum support, another small red rod that will act like a shock tower... The question is whether the bigger red rod will flexed with the chassis because of that, and then the rod itself will bend.... And that is not good lol

I got a new remote for my kraton. A gt5 I bind the the receiver. But when I go to sent my throttle point the green light never comes on. First step turn on radio. Second hold set button and turn on power until red light starts flashing. Now I press set for neutral I don't get a green light. Full throttle no green and reverse no green light. What I'm I doing wrong? I thought that's how you sent the throttle.

Why a new chassis and not bend the original one back? I'm confused...

@@dis3nchant3d42 As soon you change the stock layout of a truck, you put more stress on certain parts then they were designed for. My V2 Kraton has not one single original/stock part on it. Same is true for my V1 E-revo. If you bash it hardcore you have to upgrade it. And this is fine with me. The main reason why Kyosho, Losi etc don't outsell Traxxas & Arrma is because there is not much possibility -because of the lack of upgradable parts- to tweek upgrade them. The 1/8 scale Arrma is fun because of the loads of aftermarket parts you can get to make the truck look your own, handle your own driving style. I like a well built stock truck, but I will never have so much fun with those, compared to the upgradeable ones. Evolution and evolving IS FUN. And this is why I personally am into Rc-ing.
