Kraton 6s arrma Custom/homemade mods

[samuelppeters5]

Alright guys, custom and homemade mods has gotten my interest lately because it puts a "custom" title to your rc, so let's see them homemade mods.

One i'm doing to a lot of my 6s swb rigs now (including the one on my profile pic) is to take a t bone front or rear bumper and add the wfo maxx whelie bar bracket with skateboard wheels.
The other "homemade" mod is cutting 47mm out of the chassis in front of the center diff on a typhon chassis to make the wheelbase right for the lightning mcqueen push toy. It was a blast but only 2wd and running it into a curb at speed tacoed the chassis Just Bash it has a custom shorty chassis on the way that will fit two of the shorter center drive shafts in it so it can still be awd and darn near the same wheelbase.

Been a bit since I started but here are some of my mods

Car door edge protector to prevent splits

M5 bolts for shock standoffs

Small pieces of foam under electrics to dampen shock

Custom antenna mount (because stock is hard to get at and is low down)

homemade mud guards on rear Arms

rear wing braces made from erevo 2.0 rear track rods to stop the mounts from snapping every other jump

Ngl I hate the Arrma RX box. It's such a pain to route the wires into unless you remove the chassis brace.

I feel like this needs to go in the Jerry Rig thread! Nice modding!

I third the wing mount brace but I used erevo endlinks on one side of a kraton 4s turnbuckle, and then with a 3s/4s front hinge pin brace I was able to put a swb 6s rear chassis brace as another means of load transfer

Looks like you might have lost a body mount screw there on the bottom left side too

Thanks for reminding me to put that back in lol I had it off so I could get to the wing mount front bolts and remove the broken rear screws (hopefully the last time I break those)

I couldn't find a proper way to mount an antenna, i came up with this.

Wtf is that?

It is intended for connecting wires. Usually 220Volt connections.
Like you, I have no clue what this is called in English. We call it a kroonsteentje.

We have implemented "No Wear" bushings on A-arms and Rear axle housings.
Made "No Wear" bushings for the Ackermann plate
Made "No Wear" shims for Top front a-arms & Lower Rear ( Different thickness's for Castor angle tweaks )
Made "No Wear" bushings for the servo steering link.
All done using Polyether ether ketone (PEEK)

Made mud wipers for inside wheels
Made Mud guards
Made Ghetto center chassis braces ( Plate as well rod types )

ust made in the last hour ... a TRUE 7075-T651 alloy Ackermann plate

Shown was the parts prefab evolution on the Typhon, the Kraton has followed along with similar fabrications.

Think it ... Design it ... Build it
