ARRMA 1/16 Mini Kraton 3S BLX
Who's ready to take their small-scale, go-fast fun to another level? ARRMA and Horizon Hobby have introduced a scaled-down version of the 1/10 and 1/8 Kraton to not only provide a smaller basher but also to give this new model unique features to extend your R/C entertainment.
A spitting image of its larger counterparts, the 1/16 ARRMA Mini Kraton 3S BLX is a compact R/C basher that looks like a great option for ripping around smaller spaces like suburban back yards and parks.
The Mini Kraton 3S BLX features a durable chassis design and metal gears to keep this machine rolling, no matter how hard you push it. Powered by a Spektrum Firma 3000kv brushless motor and a 3S LiPo battery, there's no shortage of power running to all four wheels of this mini speed truck.
If you're thinking about handing this model to a new or younger hobbyist, features like Dynamic Stability Control help make the driving performance of this truck manageable, while PowerGuard helps the flow of juice from the battery, letting you choose from Adrenaline Mode for longer runtimes and Chaos Mode for lightning-quick acceleration and throttle response.
ARRMA has released several versions of the Mini Kraton 3S BLX, each aimed at different budgets and needs. If you have your own 3S battery and charger (with an IC2 connector), the $299.99 option (ARA2508T1), with its red and black body, is for you.
If you want to start fresh, with everything you need in the box, the $339.99 Mini Kraton 3S BLX with Battery and Charger Combo is your best bet. Available with either a blue/silver/red (ARA2508ST1) or teal/purple/pink (ARA2508ST2) body, this version includes a Spektrum High Power Smart 11.1V 2000mah 3S 30C Hard Case LiPo Battery and a Spektrum S22 Mini USB-C Charger.
For even more value, Horizon Hobby is offering a special edition, green and black-bodied Mini Kraton 3S with the Spektrum S22 Mini USB-C Charger and two Spektrum High Power Smart 11.1V 2000mah 3S 30C Hard Case LiPo Batteries. This version (ARA2508ST3), priced at $339.99, is only available at horizonhobby.com.
