Comparisons
The Kraton is a newer model and comes with brushless motor and 6s compatibility right out of the box. The T-Maxx requires a bit moresetup to get it running on 6s, but is still a great truck. Both trucks are built tough and can take a beating. The Kraton might be slightly fasterand have a bit more torque, but the T-Maxx is no slouch. If you are looking for a new monster truck, either of these would be a great choice.
