KRATON 6S & TYPHON 6S RTRs: ready for 6S LiPo and 60+ mph speeds!

ARRMA isn’t known for 1/8 scale or 4WD vehicles —but they will be soon. The KRATON Speed Monster and the TYPHON Speed Buggy are in the new “Speed“ class of vehicles. The name fits well for several reasons. Speed is the biggest, and both vehicles feature the race-inspired designs and equipment to deliver exceptional speeds without updates, upgrades or modifications. Part of the reason is that both vehicles were designed to accept 6S packs — a fact that has a huge impact on speed. Top end for the KRATON Speed Monster with a 6S pack is 65 mph. The  TYPHON Speed Buggy pushes it a few mph higher to 67 mph. There’s no way to know now what top speeds will be with hop-ups and  modifications— but chances are good that it won’t be long to find out and that the results will be insane 1/8 scale speeds.

A high-efficiency brushless power system makes the best of the power. It includes an ESC that’s rated for 180A continuous and a staggering 900A burst currents. The metal-geared steering servo is just as impressive, capable of delivering a massive 208 ounce-inches of turning torque in just 0.12 seconds. Brute, 1/8 scale power is accompanied by superb control finesse. Both vehicles offer exceptionally stable, balanced 4WD handling for amazing traction on all terrain, as well as a host of other construction/performance features.

Highlights include:

• 6S LiPo compatibility for extreme high speeds
• Waterproof radio box
• Aluminum motor mount to keep the brushless motor running smooth and fast
• Adjustable hook and loop battery straps for ease and security
• Race-proven roll bars, front and back, for professional race handling
• Adjustable servo saver
• Turnbuckle-tunable suspension
• Aluminum servo horns for fast, responsive steering

The KRATON and TYPHON also share features found on ARRMA 1/10 scale vehicles, including multi-lingual documentation, an online owner registry and an industry-leading 2-year limited warranty.
