2026 RC Truck of the Year? Maybe. | NEW ARRMA Mini Kraton

It might be too early to call Truck of the Year for 2026, but the new ARRMA Mini Kraton 3S BLX is already shaping up to be a serious contender. In this video, I unbox, break down, and bash ARRMA’s latest mini monster, highlighting five standout features including the full-length aluminum chassis skid, one-hand body removal system, sealed center differential, upgraded aluminum shocks, and the new Power Guard key. We cover what’s included in the box, pricing options, electronics, drivetrain, suspension, and how the Power Guard system changes the driving experience from tame to full chaos mode. Then it’s time to hit the skatepark and asphalt for real-world bashing and speed runs, with results pushing the mid-40 mph range on 3S. From build quality to performance and a few honest critiques, this is a full first look at what could be one of ARRMA’s most exciting releases yet.
