The worst thing about it is the fact that it isn’t mine other than that it looks good to me

I bought one when it was a roller. Installed stock electronics. Best basher I own. My adult daughter saw it for her first time and asked me why is it so angry 
. It's a beast. I love it.

It's a nice looking truck, I like the improvements, and I think you get a lot for your money, but my credit card can't make it past the V5 diffs. Been there, done that, and don't want to do it again.

I've been checking out the V6 upgrades. The bellcrank seems promising, just ordered one.

Like Bbqguy52 said, the original Kraton EXB roller is a beast! I couldn't agree more. The new Kraton 6s EXB RTR should be a hit! Arrma sure has listened and learned from user input. I love all the new improvements in the key areas, but I just can't get there with the electronics that are included... mainly the motor, radio, and servo. Make the new Kraton 6s EXB a roller, then we'll talk.

Looking to order one for my sons birthday, does anyone have some dual 3S battery suggestions for this?

I've had good luck with CNHL.
I just ordered another 6s brick for my Kraton.

I was looking at this one, any idea if it will fit or would be a good match?

I used to own one of those. It was a press fit in my battery box and eventually dumped it guts out the back side killing the balance plug. Gens smart batteries suck. 6800mah, out of the three I've owned the most I ever got was about 4800mah and they all died within 4 months. My son has killed 4 of them.

Gens_Ace LiPos are overpriced for what they are. Some of their batteries are crap, some of them are decent but even the decent ones are over priced.
