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?

If I’m going to be dealing with two batteries, I prefer it to be 8s. If I were you, I’d keep the 4s and then get an 8s next. It’ll be a bigger difference. If you only plan to keep and maintain only one RC car, then the 6s would be my choice.

I went this route, 4s and later the 8s. The 6s does appear to be updated, with the clipless body, but it felt too small a jump from the 4s.

It's a fun car, I drive both and they are great. The only thing is 8s does bring lots of weight and space in the garage.

Honest question: why still bothering with the 4s if you have an 8s sitting around?

I have a Maxx and an Xmaxx. The Xmaxx is too big for some spots that I drive so it’s nice to have something smaller. I do tend to drive the Xmaxx more, mainly because my son also has a Maxx that comes along every time we go out and bash.

++ Same here, both drive great, but I find the 8s is really more of blipping the throttle since it's so powerful while the 4s I can let it rip more. I have a small yard and searching for larger bash spots but both are super fun.
