The legendary ARRMA KRATON welcomes a fierce new member to the family. The MINI KRATON 3S BLX 4X4 delivers full-scale KRATON aggression in a compact 1/16 scale package—leaner, meaner, and absolutely fearless.
At Aerobertics, we love vehicles that punch far above their weight. This MINI KRATON does exactly that, combining brutal 3S brushless power, smart electronics, and true ARRMA durability to create a basher that’s ready to dominate anywhere.
Mini Scale. Maximum Chaos.
Don’t be fooled by its size. The MINI KRATON features a reinforced composite chassis, heavy-duty bumpers, and an enclosed all-metal drivetrain built to survive extreme bashing. The aggressive KRATON body comes factory-painted with detailed graphics and a clipless quick-release system for fast access and zero fuss.
This all-new MINI platform faithfully recreates the performance and toughness of larger KRATON models—perfect for backyard bashing, skate parks, dirt tracks, or anywhere space is limited but fun is mandatory.
PowerGuard™ – One Truck, Two Personalities
The MINI KRATON 3S BLX is the first ARRMA vehicle equipped with PowerGuard™, a revolutionary power-control system:
Adrenaline Mode (Standard 3S)Smooth and manageable 30+ mph performance with 20+ minutes of runtime—ideal for learning and skill development.
Extended Runtime ModeActivate throttle limiting for 30+ minutes of playtime, perfect for relaxed bashing sessions.
Chaos Mode (PowerKey Installed)Plug in the PowerKey and unleash the full potential: 50+ mph 3S performance that turns this compact truck into a true KRATON chaos machine.
At Aerobertics, we call this controlled madness—until you unlock the chaos.

MINI SIZE, BIG-SCALE PERFORMANCE
The MINI platform is the next evolution of small-scale ARRMA chaos, debuting with the MINI KRATON 3S BLX 4x4. Built to deliver the performance and durability of its larger-scale counterparts, it packs signature ARRMA speed, toughness, and full-send attitude into a bash-anywhere size. From backyards and driveways to tight bash spots, the MINI platform lets you rip harder, anywhere.
3S READY WITH POWERGUARD
PowerGuard is a new power-control technology that lets a single 3S battery deliver two distinct driving experiences without swapping packs: Adrenaline Mode for smooth, controlled power and long runtimes, and Chaos Mode for full 3S performance and maximum speed. By default, the truck runs in Adrenaline Mode, offering manageable acceleration, 20–30+ MPH speeds, and extended runtimes ideal for newer drivers or backyard bashing. Inserting the included PowerKey into the PowerGuard unlocks Chaos Mode, unleashing explosive acceleration, 50+ MPH capability, and shorter, more intense runs for experienced drivers. This system eliminates the need for both 2S and 3S batteries and gives drivers complete control over performance. Cruise longer when you want or flip the switch to go full send, all with one battery.
DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL
With four selectable modes, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). will automatically apply steering corrections to improve your control, confidence, and safety, whether you're bashing on high- or low-grip surfaces. As you gain experience, just turn off the DSC and rely on your own skills.
ICONIC KRATON BODY
The MINI KRATON monster truck body is available in four striking, multi-color factory finishes. Its quick-release, clipless body retention system doubles as protection against body punch through.
CLIP-FREE BODY ATTACHMENT
The MINI KRATON 3S BLX 4X4 monster truck body snaps onto the chassis easily, quickly, and securely, and comes off with a simple press-and-release. With no tiny clips to force into place, it's a body attachment system that's perfect even for young bashers.
RUGGED 4WD DRIVETRAIN
The enclosed drivetrain with rugged metal gears carries power from the installed Spektrum Brushless Motor to all four all-terrain wheels and tires for high traction. The entire power system is well-protected for dependable performance on all terrain.
TOUGH METAL GEARS
Enjoy carefree bashing with your MINI KRATON 3S BLX 4X4 monster truck in any conditions. The drivetrain is metal geared for durability.
The high-quality Spektrum SLT2 2-channel transmitter is perfectly equipped for all drivers. With 3S power, it can help you learn control skills safely by limiting the desert truck's maximum available speed to 50% or 75% until you're ready for it all. Four AA batteries included.
