Kraton 6S BLX

About the Kraton 6S BLX

A 1/8 scale 4WD monster truck running Arrma's BLX 6S drivetrain — designed for hobbyists who want a large, fast platform capable of serious aerial jumps and sustained high-speed bashing. The Kraton's long suspension travel and high ground clearance make it one of the more versatile 1/8 platforms available, handling both flat-out speed runs and terrain bashing equally well. Arrma built the Kraton to be user-serviceable. Diffs pull apart without removing the drivetrain, shock rebuilds are accessible, and most components are available at hobby shops without special ordering. The 6S power level requires open space and an experienced driver — this isn't a backyard truck for new hobbyists.

Key Specs

Who It's For

Experienced bashers who want 1/8 scale performance with a platform known for parts availability and repairability. Drivers who run at open areas — parks, empty lots, fields — where the speed and size can be used without restriction.

Upgrade Notes

The stock slipper clutch pads wear under repeated hard launches on 6S — replacing them with an upgraded set is a common early maintenance item. Diff fluid weights affect how the truck launches and corners, and many drivers tune all three diffs within the first few packs. The outdrives are a known weak point on hard 6S hits.

Common first mods:upgraded slipper pads, diff fluid repack, metal outdrives, 6S LiPo battery (2x 3S), motor heatsink
