Our take on the Arrma Kraton 8S BLX 4WD Speed Monster Truck

The Kraton 8S BLX is Arrma's 1:5 scale brushless monster truck, built for high-speed bashing on rough ground. It runs on 8S LiPo through a Spektrum Firma 160A Smart ESC and a Spektrum S905 metal-geared servo, and comes ready to run with radio and receiver. Its size and 24 lb weight give it stability and ground clearance that smaller bashers lack, but it needs large 8S packs and open space. Owners rate its toughness and speed; the main complaints are weight, battery cost and the room it needs.
