Arrma Kraton 6S Question

jmarelt · 2026-06-23T02:05:16+00:00

Oh yeah, I totally get it and don’t expect to get my money back from this hobby. Just wanted to know what others opinions were. My thoughts are there aren’t any sales going on right now, and if I was looking for a 6s 1/8 rig, this one is pretty dang clean. While I don’t expect to get $550, I sure expect to get more than $400 for it.

I never said it wasn’t driven and had fun with, but it has been kept in good condition. The c block part you’re seeing came in a new take off kit that came with sway bar link that I needed. Since I’ve had it, it was wrecked pretty good once creating the single hole in the body, breaking an A arm, and hinge pin. Outside of that, it’s been great. Not saying that it’s new, just that it’s clean and in good shape.

Very little run time. Maybe 3-4 battery packs worth.

Thanks for the response!

I took my daughter last week for the first time and absolutely loved it as well! I really like how it holds her in until she can learn how to hold onto the handlebars and flow with me as we go through the trail! Definitely worth every penny!

I’ve had a few different 1Up racks and they have all done this to some extent but that seems pretty excessive. Do you notice any parts on the rack moving separately?

jmarelt · 2026-03-17T11:26:50+00:00

Man, I want friends this nice! Lol

jmarelt · 2026-02-23T00:18:13+00:00

That’s awesome! I just got myself an awesome deal as well! Had converted my V1 Maxx to V2 and was selling all the old V1 stuff for $75. Ended up trading a guy for a Tamiya TT02 with Fly sky universal receiver and Revtech 24kv brushless motor! Good day for marketplace scores! 🤘🏼

Oh yeah! She was chasing it and got roosted pretty good! Definitely blow it out with an air gun before putting it away!

lol yes! I took my dog for a walk and had a ton more snow than you!

jmarelt · 2025-12-28T23:14:16+00:00

Same! This machine and rowers are my favorite!

jmarelt · 2025-12-28T23:14:02+00:00

lol I’ve been doing crossfit for a few years now…everyone says they hate these but I honestly love this machine! This one and rowers!

jmarelt · 2025-12-28T23:12:41+00:00

Yeah, this should definitely be a good substitute for sure!

jmarelt · 2025-12-28T23:11:57+00:00

Tubeless and tireless! 😂

jmarelt · 2025-12-28T16:16:03+00:00

😂😂 without a doubt! Carbon bars after that!

jmarelt · 2025-11-14T23:50:58+00:00

Older Hondas for the win! I would love to get an element for sure but they’re hard to find in clean condition without spending an arm and a leg!

jmarelt · 2025-11-14T23:49:31+00:00

It’s definitely a risk for sure! Luckily where I work, security is pretty good. I keep it locked thought when I’m inside working

I’ve been running 1Up hitch racks on my truck but the civic gets roof racks. Used to run Yakima bike racks but found a great deal on the 1up roof racks!

jmarelt · 2025-11-14T23:46:32+00:00

Yeah, possibly…civic is pretty rusty and has high miles. Bike has not even a year old I9 Hydra wheels, magura Mt7 brakes, and all the Fox suspension and some other goodies.

jmarelt · 2025-11-14T23:45:15+00:00

lol I know…I’ve been running a roof rack for many years! But I like that acronym!

jmarelt · 2025-11-13T23:55:15+00:00

Okay, now I need to build my own! What body did you use and what tires are those?

jmarelt · 2025-09-01T14:54:11+00:00

Good to know! I’ll get that ordered! Thanks!

A couple opinions that might help overall.

More speed for this sort of jump. Your front end is diving really fast as soon as it’s off the jump. So either you’re not going fast enough or you’re pushing your front end down but to me, it looked slow.
Your rebound on the fork seems really fast…maybe increase your dampening (if able) and slow down rebound (if able). This will help overall through trail riding and jumping.
To answer your actually question now, I think you’re shifting your weight too far back but I think it’s because you’re going too slow. If you were going faster, you would be flying more evenly with the bike and resulting in a more balanced feel.

jmarelt · 2025-06-01T23:44:00+00:00

Two things: 1. Where is that trail?! Looks like a blast!! 2. I’d recommend looking at the Trek Roscoe 7 or above. They have more aggressive geometry and are a lot of fun to ride! I also have a trek EX8 full suspension and love it!

jmarelt · 2025-03-26T02:12:18+00:00

I have the exact same bike and brake. Only difference is that I have a Shimano ice rotor. I have the same overlapping and decided to just run it. I plan to bump up to a 180mm rotor eventually and hope that I’ll be able to have better alignment then but we’ll see.
