Arrma 1/8 Kration 4WD EXtreme Bash Roller monster truck

Coming soon from Arrma is their new 1/8th scale Kraton 4WD Extreme Bash Roller speed monster truck. The trucks builds on the proven 1/8th scale Kraton RTR and made of strong anodised 7075 T6 aluminium, its laser-etched chassis plate gains further rigidity from the use of front and rear aluminium chassis braces. Strong composite chassis side pods and a centre body support and brace provide more rugged resilience. Durable steel driveshafts plus all-metal diff outdrives and gearbox internals keep the heavy-duty 4-wheel drivetrain rolling over punishing tracks. An EXtreme Bash toughened suspension system smooths the ride, with a steel rear suspension mount and adjustable oil-filled shocks mounted on 7075 T6 anodised aluminium front and rear shock towers. Also included are EXB heavy-duty front and rear arms with aluminium strengthening cap, EXB heavy-duty steel turnbuckles, EXB heavy-duty front upper steel hinge pins, EXB plated limited-slip differentials, an EXB red-anodised aluminium servo mount, the EXB large volume waterproof receiver box, and an EXB front bumper. The trucks roll on aggressive dBoots Copperhead 2 tyres mounted on multi-spoke wheels with durable hubs to deliver all-terrain traction — assisted by a high downforce wing that adds an aggressive edge to the look of the exclusive EXB matte and gloss effect finished truck body.
