With EXB-hardened parts, including a 5mm thick CNC aluminum chassis plate and an impact-absorbing bumper, this truck promises invincibility right out of the box. The uniquely aggressive EXB color scheme adds flair to functionality.

It can handle any terrain, thanks to oil-filled shocks and beefy dBoots COPPERHEAD 2 big block tires, ensuring high-speed control and responsive handling. The durable drivetrain, featuring all-metal internals and robust steel driveshafts, withstands extreme, high-speed bashing.

Maintenance is kept to a minimum with ARRMA's efficient modular design, making the KRATON 1/5 8S EXtreme Bash Speed Monster Truck not only a bashing beast, but the best ARRMA® ready-to-run basher to date.
