Wow, looks like a great deal. I don't think I can justify $480 + batteries cost to my wife. Brand new to the hobby. Only other RC is the Mini B that I saw on here.

How much for batteries? And how good of a deal is this? I was considering the 3S Typhon for outdoor use.

This is normally 600 was on sale for black Friday for 550.. Its the latest version (V5) and is ready to run.

Batteries are $60 right now and would need another charger ~60 for entry level that will work well. i.e. Tenergy etc.

I saw that the Typhon 6s was also on sale for $440. I was trying to decide between the two when both deals expired Frown Luckily, I had the Kraton in my cart and Amazon let me checked out for the sale price Smilie

Thank you for post this deal! I am glad I had an alert for Arrma. Which batteries and charger do you recommend?

This is a popular charger and it's on sale now too:
https://www.amazon.com/Tenergy-Ba...ljaz10cnVl


Do get a Lipo storage/charging bag to charge in though it will help prevent a fire if the battery shorts and is worth the $10-15. Lipos shouldn't be left unattended while charging. Watch some videos on how to use the charger as you always want to balance charge a lipo not just charge it.

For lipo batteries:

I think this is a pretty good deal right now on batteries Grab 1-2 of these 6s batteries. It's claiming 100c so should allow enough current draw.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0...YMNH&psc=1


CHina Hobby Line also sells some well reviewed batteries


Alternately you could do two 3s batteries and then those 3s batteries could be used in other vehicles that only took 3s, downside is you have two batteries to charge vs one larger one. So if you have a single charger it's a bit more stopping and starting when charging. Up side is if a cell goes bad in one pack you still have the other pack.


This is a completely different beast from the Losi Mini T or Mini B. Have fun!
