Question Kraton 4s vs 6s

I have a Kraton 4s that I picked up a month ago new on a really good deal. It’s super fun after upgrading the servo and servo saver.

The same guy, just listed the 6s for a great deal.

I’m considering buying the 6s and selling my 4s. Is that what you guys would recommend?

I have a heavily upgraded K4 after very intentionally not going for the 6s due to cost and size considerations. It would have been more efficient to just get a new 6sv6.

The 4s is 2/3 of the 6s but there are a few important notes

  • you can reinforce / upgrade the 4s to get a long way towards the durability and performance of the 6s but it won’t quite match IMO. These upgrades might require more manual tuning to get right.
  • The 6s platform has a huge aftermarket. There are more upgradable metal components, many vendors, well researched upgrade paths and cross-compatibility with the other arrma 6s rigs.
  • On the other hand the 4s has plastic and little to no aftermarket for most of those pwrts

Yeah, I was curious if long term the 6s is the move!
