Overview
ARRMAengineers have outfitted the KRATON6S BLX 4WD with a brushless power system that now features the SpektrumFirma150A Smart ESC and Firma2050Kv brushless motor. The combination delivers incredible torque, acceleration and speed. Heavy-duty aluminum and steel chassis and transmission components take it all in its stride. For improved steering, ARRMAalso includes a new, steel gear SpektrumS652 Digital Servo which is 32% stronger and 5% faster than the previous version’s ADS-15M servo. Add your favorite 4S or 6S LiPo battery and watch this monster truck smash your speed expectations up to 60+ MPH in optimum conditions with a 6S LiPo battery and the included optional speed pinion gear.
The ready-to-run package now also includes a 3-channel SpektrumSLT3radio and SpektrumSR315 dual protocol receiver. Perfect for long hours of fatigue-free bashing, the transmitter’s ergonomic design features a foam steering wheel for precise fingertip control and an improved hand grip and trigger feel. If you’re a new driver, you’ll be able to set throttle limits at 50% or 75% until you’re ready to use the full speed potential. The SLT3is compatible with TacticSLTreceivers to run other RTR vehicles you may own, and includes a third channel to control optional features such as lights and winches on models that have them. Because the SR315 receiver can use SLTand DSMRprotocols, you can easily upgrade to a SpektrumDSMRtransmitter later then, download the free SpektrumDashboardapp for your mobile device and take full advantage of the Smart telemetry capabilities already present in the Firmaelectronics. You’ll be able to receive real-time updates of ESC temperature, receiver (BEC) voltage, drive pack voltage and motor RPM.
With adjustable oil-filled shocks soaking up the bumps, the KRATON6S BLX 4WD Speed Monster Truck blasts over dirt, asphalt and grass all terrain and all conditions. The shocks are mounted on black-anodized aluminum towers. Multi-split-spoke wheels come outfitted with super-aggressive, multi-surface dBootsCOPPERHEAD 2tires. A high downforce wing helps keep the vehicle grounded. Everything in the design contributes to confident control and responsive handling at high speeds.
For the durability needed to support intense brushless performance, ARRMAuses a strengthened anodized aluminum chassis as the foundation for the KRATON6S BLX 4WD. A center body support, aluminum center brace and composite chassis side pods add more strength. All-metal diff outdrives and gearbox internals, plus durable steel driveshafts, provide a reliable, heavy-duty drivetrain that holds up to extreme, high-speed bashing. A “never loose” aluminum steering servo saver and “never pop” ball ends supply more precision, reliability and confidence.
ARRMAholds your maintenance downtime to the minimum with an efficient, driver-friendly design. A sliding mount allows quick, hassle-free motor access. The center diff is easy to reach and can be removed by taking out just seven bolts. Topping it all off is a monster truck body with streamlined good looks, featuring an eye-catching red/black or blue/black trim and detailed decals.
