I have had great luck with traxxas rcs (I own a 2wd rustler vxl , a trx-4m and a trx-4 high trail) and am considering buying a 4x4 basher. I have been eyeing the kraton 4s v2.5 as it seems to have fixed all of the issues I ave had with the platform in the past. (Slipper clutch plastic diffs, and shock ends) this was on a granite 3s by the way. I would look at a traxxas maxx but for 570 it isn't worth it for me. What is everyone's opinions on this. Should I go with the traxxas 4x4 platform, or should I try an arrma again. I have seen many people rave about the kraton 4s on YouTube and other forums as it is such a good value. I just really don't want to have to constantly fix and throw away money upgrading the kraton like I did with my granite. The traxxas Rustler or stampede/hoss(haven't decided which I prefer) now includes the extreme hd kit which fixes the driveshaft issues traxxas have been known for in the past. Basically, I am asking if it would be worth getting the kraton 4s for $50 more than the rustler and has arrma truly fixed the reliability issues that plague the 3s/4s platform?
