ARRMA 1/8 KRATON 6S Monster Truck RTR Overview

The 1/8 scale ARRMA KRATON 6S BLX 4X4 earned its reputation as the ultimate speed monster truck. The 6S-ready design, reinforced with legendary ARRMA toughness, handles big air and brutal bashing right out of the box. Now, the KRATON launches a new chapter with this latest evolution. ARRMA takes its epic speed and strength to the next level, adding key upgrades to elevate its performance to new extremes.

The chassis plate, differentials, front bumper, skid plate, and even the wing mount have all been improved with EXB (Extreme Bash) toughness. New side guards, a two-piece tower-to-tower brace, and inner body tower add more strength and simplify maintenance. The iconic KRATON monster truck body now comes in four striking new multi-colour factory finishes, and has a convenient, quick-release, clipless body retention system.

With its 6S-capable Spektrum brushless system, you can send the KRATON 6S BLX 4X4 racing and leaping at incredible 65+ mph real speeds. Components include a Firma 150A Smart V2 ESC with new, more powerful firmware, a Firma 2050Kv brushless motor, and reliable, steel geared S665 steering servo. The electronics are waterproof so you can blast without worry in any conditions - even mud or snow.

Install a 6S LiPo battery and your KRATON 6S BLX 4X4 unleashes next-level speeds and performs jaw-dropping jumps. If you’d prefer to log more bashing experience before hitting those extremes, simply start with a 4S LiPo pack. You’ll have plenty of fast and fearless fun without leaving your comfort zone. Then, when you’re ready to take it up to eleven, plug in a 6S battery and blast off!

With its throttle limiting feature, the Spektrum SLT3 transmitter can also help smooth your transition into 6S power. When activated, throttle limiting automatically limits top speed to a level you select until you’re confident you can manage it all. Set the throttle limiter switch to 50% or 75% and you won’t have to worry that your KRATON 6S BLX 4X4 will go faster than you can handle. You’ll make the move up 6S brushless speeds confidently and in complete control.

Take the ready-to-run KRATON 6S BLX 4X4 blasting on any terrain, including asphalt, dirt, gravel, or short grass. Set up some ramps or build a few mounds in the dirt - set a new long distance record every time you jump. With your choice of 4S or 6S battery and charger, you’ll have everything you need for speed monster truck thrills the way only ARRMA makes them.

We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:

  • For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
  • Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
  • Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
  • If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
  • We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
  • As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
  • If a product is marked as "Dispatched within 3 working days" delivery usually takes around 3 to 5 working days from when your order is placed.
  • For customers in Inverness and other parts of the Scottish Highlands deliveries can take up to 2 working days even if you select next day delivery as couriers do not currently offer a guaranteed next day service to those areas.
