Hey guys, had my Kraton for about 6 months now and loving it. Moving up to a 6s really made the difference and now my son can bash around with my old ECX Ruckus.
I will preface by saying that I have done absolutely nothing to the truck being that most of the time I have used it, it was pretty cold out and did a lot of driving in the snow and such. Now that it has gotten warmer, I am wanting to start upgrading this monster. That being said, when I first took it out of the box and drove it around on grass and pavement, I couldn't believe that the damn thing would not flip. The steering was so responsive and tight that friends that had other RC cars/trucks were impressed at how she stayed on all four wheels most of the time.
Now, I took it out yesterday and noticed that my turning radius was not nearly as good as it used to be. I could go up one side of my street, and make a turn without even getting within 6 feet from the curb. Now when I try to make a turn I have to go up and over the curbs, or just stop and pop it into reverse for a few feet and go on my way.
Nothing seems broken, and everything else is fine. I just wanted to put the 14t gear that came with it for a little added speed (again keeping everything stock for now). What I don't want to do is be going faster and all of a sudden need to make a turn and continue to feel like it has the turning radius of an 18 wheeler.
Has anyone had any issues with steering etc. I know the servos are know to be a little weak, but I don't know if I just need to make an adjustment somewhere because the wheels do turn like they are supposed to, just not when the car is on the ground.
Thanks!
