This video helped me reach the epiphany that Arrma was a legitimate brand. I have no regrets adding the Kraton to the collection. Whether you're a Traxxas, Arrma, Losi , HPI or other fanboy, if you limit yourself to 1 brand you truly are missing out

Wow, what great gifts! That is exciting to know. They're going to be so excited to see those trucks! I'm excited for them. One thing to note about those two selections, Traxxas vehicles use their proprietary battery connector, so you will have to buy their batteries, and battery charger. If you cut the connector off and replace it with something different, you void their warranty. With the Kraton, you can use any batteries, any chargers, as long as it has an EC5 connector. And if you want to change that to something different, you can without worry or issue. Hope I haven't made things worse, but you don't want to buy duplicate chargers and batteries. If you have any questions, let me know. Happy Holidays. -Brett

Don't know if anybody mentioned it but on high traction surfaces like asphalt and cement etc. Vehicles with grippy tires tend to traction roll without sway bars. Some people like traction rolling but I don't. On loose traction surfaces sometimes I remove my sway bars to get that cool body rolling effect that you mentioned.

So I said this on another comment already but I'll repeat... Strangely enough, and this surprises me... I actually like the music. These videos are great, the music is pleasant (go ahead haters, flame away, I can take it) and the music actually just adds a good background to the great informational and entertaining vid. Awesome job man.
Thanks for the video. We have a Kraton and Senton. They have been working great. No problems except had to replace Kraton servo after a head on crash with a other RC.

Thanks for posting this!!
Glad to see this comparison from three years ago! The E-Revo 2.0 was hands down better than the Kraton V3. But Arrma has been making updates every year, and currently the Kraton V5 is hands down better than the E-Revo 2.0. Traxxas is way behind the competition these days, they just can't keep up. Meanwhile Arrma keeps making big changes every year and keeps improving! I just ordered my Arrma Outcast 6S EXB RTR and I can't wait to get it.
Great review. That center diff oil point is so crucial when comparing these two. I think the people would love to see a long term durability test between these cars!

Great comparison, especially regarding the diff fluids and how it affects the driving experience of each truck. In my Kraton I run 500k in my center diff and 100k front and rear diffs, for me this is great for bashing...though if I were to do it over, I may go with 50-60k weight in the front and rear diffs.

Am i the only one who loves seeing the revo going up the curb ? It kinda like slithers up haha i love seeing it
Thank alot buddy
This is a much better comparison than the Arrma Kraton vs. Traxxas UDR. The UDR is more a trophy truck and more about details. Kraton and the E-Revo 2.0 are real bashers! I sense a little favoritism in the Kraton. The sway bar pretty much sucks and the E-Revo has strong plastic and bigger better tires. Sounds like when you read through it, the E-Revo is the real winner here! I am not a fan of the 2 motor steering servo on the E-Revo is my only complaint!
Good video. Pretty sure if someone owns either of these monsters, they'll be driving with a big smile on their face. Nonetheless, when comparing two products, don't you have to take cost into account? Sure prices change but I'd be okay if comparison reviews said "as of right now this retails for X and this for X." to help people get a better gauge between the two.
Nice comparison man! Its like the edited professional version of my RC video comparisons LOL!! I think I'm invest in a new camera and take a video editing course. Amain hobbies for life.

Nice work.
Couple up grades and the kraton is bullet proof. I snapped a pin in the diff and an axle shaft at the bmx track but other than that it's a tank m2c chassis is next on the list
Great comparision! Thank you! @AMain Hobbies could you please give us more info about sway bars? I own Kraton v2 btw. What are recomendation for removing sway bars? If the model goes better without them, why Arrma is using them in Kraton? What are the benefits if they are installed?

Nice review. Just turn the music down. What's the name of the track btw??
I have the full size EREVO 2.0 I done some suspension work like a lil lift, heavier springs, limiting straps, center diff grease as traxxas skimps out on it. Motor cooling fan, front and rear lights, and the MAX wheels(I machine some titanium hex nuts) also I installed the telemetry systems pack, heavy DUTY servos, A-arms, sealed ceramic bearings, heavier AWG & terminal to battery wire cables and speed controller,. Next I am prototyping a wireless camera to send a video live feed via wifi to my phone so I can record and have a point of view.

If the E-Revo 2.0 is like the E-Revo then you can run it on one battery if you change the way the wires are in the plug. I've done it several times in my E-Revo.
The Kraton is also good for running over the Senton 6S as a buddy found out the hard way when he was talking about outrunning me then stopped behind me.
Ditto on 🎶(too high). Great info/video!
Of the two trucks which would you say is the most durable out of the box? Great video!
I have both trucks, and both trucks are great. However, I find myself using and enjoying the Kraton a lot more.
Ffs stop the music in u videos!! So enjoying!!
I connected my headphones so I can read the comments to a chill beat 😆
race on a track .... then drag race ... then highest jump / durability test ... .. um yes please , thank you , good video
6.35 minute subtitles are interrupted .... can you fix it? I'm very interested in this review thank's for your job

He had a big yellow spoiler on the back and that literally became the wheelie bar
So it basically comes down to spare parts then. I know that many of the Arrma parts are compatible across their 1/8 scale line. Is Traxxas the same way? Nice video, seems like you had a great time testing both trucks 👍 The Kraton is very versatile and can be tuned many different ways. I dont see the e-revo as having as many tuning options, I could be wrong though...
Great video. Small suggestion.... Would be easier to hear you if you lowered the music volume while you were talking. Music is cool, but it's drowning you out a bit. But still great informative video.
Hey great comparison but the music is verry loud like people have been saying. I would suggest just getting some more calm music and making it a bit quieter. Have a look at some of the urc vids and see what he did with his music. not saying copy him but kind of take a more calm tone. other than that, this was a verry well put together video. :)
Love the content in the video. You could lose the music. It's annoying.

With all the positive buzz surrounding Arrma and the Kraton in general i'm pretty excited to bust open the box! Picked up a fresh 6s pack and i'm itching to pull that trigger. Gotta wait til xmas though lol. It's nice to see Pro-line and Jconcepts coming out with bodies for the Kraton and I hope they don't stop there. Man this hobby is a sickness i'm already thinking about whats gonna come after the Kraton. UDR? Baja Rey? Hmmmmmm.... lol. Keep up the good videos man and have a Merry Christmas!
