Product Information

Workability: The modular nature of the X-Maxx makes it very simple to repair. It wasn’t straightforward to work on, but it didn’t have any particularly challenging places. Handling: Perhaps the best handling big-scale RTR of all time is the 8S Kraton. The standard suspension is effective for serious hammering, and the driver feels very confident thanks to the chassis design. Depending on what size of RC truggy you are looking for, make sure to research each of the different models. Not only do the different versions have different battery requirements, but also have different dimensions. An 8S power system produces a lot of power. Arrma has built this truggy with an all-metal drivetrain. All-metal parts will help keep your truggy from breaking under the intense voltage the 8S system provides to the ESC and motor.
