Is the Mini Kraton 3S BLX good for beginners?

It is fast and lively, so it suits drivers with some RC experience better than total beginners. A beginner can run it on a lower-power battery and in open space while learning throttle control.

What battery does it need?

It is designed around 3S LiPo packs to use its full brushless power, and it can also run on 2S for calmer driving. You need a LiPo charger and a battery with the correct connector, which are not included.

How does it compare with the larger Kraton?

The Mini is smaller and lighter, so it fits in tighter spaces and is easier to carry, but it has less ground clearance and stability on rough ground than the full-size Kraton. Power is strong for its size but not equal to the bigger truck.

Can it run on grass and dirt?

It handles short grass, dirt and gravel well thanks to four-wheel drive and its monster-truck tires. Tall grass and very rough ground will stop a 1/16 truck, so stick to smoother surfaces.

What is included in the box?

It comes ready to run with the truck assembled, a radio transmitter, the brushless motor and ESC, and the servos installed. Battery, charger and basic tools for the battery are not included.

Are parts easy to find?

ARRMA supports the Mini Kraton with replacement parts and upgrades through hobby shops and online retailers. Common wear items like tires, arms and shock parts are generally available.
