The ARRMA KRATON 4X4 8S BLX is a 1/5-scale ready-to-run speed monster truck built for large-scale bashing. It runs a Spektrum 5687 FIRMA 1100Kv brushless motor and 160A Smart ESC on up to 8S LiPo, with a steel-gear S6510 servo rated at 820 oz-in and a DX3 radio with AVC stability control. EXtreme Bash hardware — a 5mm 7075 T6 CNC chassis plate, anodized front brace mount and impact-absorbing front bumper — sets it apart from lighter 6S trucks and older KRATON 8S versions. It suits experienced bashers with room to run and spare batteries; newcomers will find its size, weight and power demanding.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 10 ratings, owners treat it as a tough, fast large-scale basher. Praise centers on the EXB durability parts and the stronger motor and servo over the previous 8S RTR.
The ARRMA KRATON 1/5 8S EXB Speed Monster Truck RTR is a ready-to-run, 1/5 scale 4x4 monster truck for large-scale bashing. This version adds EXtreme Bash (EXB) parts for added durability. It has a monster truck body with an EXB color scheme.
It uses a Spektrum 8S LiPo-capable brushless system. The 5687 FIRMA 1100Kv brushless motor has a 56mm diameter and 10% more torque than the previous KRATON 8S RTR motor. A Spektrum S6510 steel gear servo gives 820 oz-in of torque at 8.4V, nearly 50% more than its predecessor. The package also includes a Spektrum FIRMA 160A V2 Smart ESC and a Spektrum DX3 3-channel 2.4GHz DSMR radio system with built-in Spektrum AVC technology.
The chassis has a 5mm thick EXB 7075 T6 CNC aluminum laser-etched plate, an EXB red-anodized CNC aluminum front brace mount, and an EXB front bumper with an impact-absorbing design. A center body support, aluminum center braces and composite chassis side pods add strength. The drivetrain has all-metal diff outdrives, metal gearbox internals and steel driveshafts. The modular design gives easy access for maintenance.
