Kraton 12S Upgrade to Kraton 8S

[Frumba57]

Used Arrma Kraton 8S (should have just bought new or at least a roller)

Hobbywing G2 ESC/Motor combo; MAX5/800kV 56118 motor (smooth censored motor-easy install)
M2C 3630 GEN 2 Arrma 8s steering bell crank kit for 56118 motor (needed to fit longer motor)
M2C 8S pillow ball retainer (not sure I needed but I saw Kev with it...lol)
OTA Smartphone ESC programmer (60 bucks worth it)
Transmission gearbox center diff complete (original was toast)
39/39T Pinion/Spur (Sweet spot for me...very fast and torque for days)
Pro-Line MX43 Badland (beaded so they will not rip off rim as easy)
Specktrum DX3 and radio (box stock)
RCAWD aluminum front lower suspension arms (must have plus look great)
Differential F/R (original was toast)
RCAWD aluminum diff cups (plastic OEM will melt-it's happened to me)
Metal rear tie rod kit stabilizer (great for surviving cartwheels)
2x CNHL 6s batteries (bogus holiday sale)
RC Hex Wheel Nuts 4 pcs, 24mm (fits Badlands and covers grub)
Arrma sliding motor mount plate 54 series (original was too small)

As of this post, I only ran it at the 75% on remote power settings. Never getting a full throttle pull in the neighborhood. But it is already a monster!!! Standing backflips no problem, ESC set to factory settings.

Getting the Badland on? Not sure your question. But I think you are asking because it comes as 17mm and 8s Arrma is 24mm.

My tools of choice to make the hole bigger and get the washer on tight tight!

Forgot to mention QS8 no spark connectors.

-Max 5 to the QS8.
-QS8 to IC5 parallel harness
-IC5 to EC5 batteries x 2

The 8 awg wire made EC5 almost impossible to solder. All my batteries are EC5. So I swapped to IC5 connectors, much easier for me to get the solder right.

IC5 directly connect to EC5 batteries.
