Kraton Hi, I would like to purchase a new rc car for backyard driving. Lots of grass and no jumps. Not much road space. Preferably 6s. Can you recommend arig

It’s really my favorite rig to drive but I’m careful. I easily spent 500 in parts after I ripped the rear end off one side!

A 1 acre back yard?!? You’ll have no problem with a 6s rig stretching its legs. Not to sound like a broken record, but…Typhon!!!

Will the typhoon have enough ground clearance for the grass? It’s tall

I say Out/Noto 6s

You don’t need a lot of room to have fun with these!!

It’s About same size as 3s and can run on 4 or 6s

Sounds like you should just stick with the K6 you already have my man. It's pretty ideal for your situation.

Kraton would most likely be better, you will want the longer chassis for more stability. Has bigger tires than a buggy for grass. I wouldn't get to caught up in the extra aluminum, keep costs low as you will learn what your next RC will be. Not like your buying only one RC haha.

When I’m in my yard or driveway I run my 6s Typhon on 4s.

This man shares wisdom...... you can always slow down/ turn down / power down, but 3S vs 6S ......... well....... just in case you find a new bash spot..... more open to put the pedal to the metal....... a 6S rig can do that.......

I agree.......

6S Big Rock is pretty fun. Fast and on stock tires? Totally planted. With the meats on mine? Wheelie machine.

As for when I inquired as to what should be my first RC rig, this was my top vote getter by the long timers....... but 3S, of course..... and I still might be my next rig

My 3S Senton does fine with tall grass and my lot, which is smaller than your lot......

My advise, look around....... within 20-30 miles even........ construction sites, factory parking lots, etc........ you can find places to bash....... parks, etc....... I say this cause I was able to find MANY places to bash (more than I thought) by looking a bit. FWIW, my favorite spot is about 45 minutes away, in Johnson City TN. I gladly drive there for the experience.

The one thing i DO NOT have...... is anything for speed rigs...... not here in the stix of the mtns of NC.
