Kraton Anyone running tp 4070cm 2200kv on 6s

[Jerry-rigged]

Prett much done now. I have Tekno orange springs installed. Anyone have any ideas about how to solve the suspenion sagging issue?

Thanx,

Justin

Normally the Tekno Orange springs ARE the cure for saggy chassis. Are you sure you got the right length? Maybe buy the next size longer than what you have on the rear, and move your current rear springs to the front?

Seems like you have the buggy springs, not truggy. I have the ET48 shocks with yellow front and stock green rear and on a 6S 5Ah battery both spring nuts are 10mm from the shock body flange when the arms are level.

Tekno orange 80mm front and 90mm rear.

Have these coming from the suspension thread:

Kyosho Big Shock Spring(M/Blue/8-1.6/L=84) (KYOIS106-816)

Kyosho IF348-1016 95mm Rear Big Shock Spring (2) Inferno MP9 / MP777 / ST-R

Also some 60w and 80w associated oils.

V3 shocks and springs was the cure. Better than any v2 shock and spring combo I tried.

Going to measure for mounting the clear Traxxas summit body this weekend. I would like to try and keep the wing, but will see how it goes once the body is mounted.

Removing the outcast wheelie bar and adding the thunder tiger wheelie bar like Vanning and Dpricenator with the panel van gravedigger body. Thanx for the help with suv style body mounting info Thunder tiger wheelie bar ooks like a straight fit from your pics.

The summit body is going to look awesome on the Kraton. The fender flares are very kewl looking. Just have to get the mount locations dialed in - body work is my least favorite thing...

 

[joostin420]

Front and rear body mounting is finalized. Think I am going to design extension of the HR wing mount into a shape like a < with carbon fiber with the wing raised to the height of the body at the top and use the outcast wheelie bar at the bottom.

almost ready to start cutting

[joostin420]

Finished then custom wing/wheelie bar mount and installed the GKA rear brace. Also made a cf wing brace. Now I can finally paint the body.

I am not going higher than 6s. is the hobbywing max 5 good enough esc, because I also have a castle xlx?

Thanx,

What the name of the part you used to support your motor ? Do you have a link ? I wan't to use the same motor in my tekno truggy for offroad bashing

 

[joostin420]

The motor brace is actually a 40mm nitro exhaust bracket. I just checked and the seller on eBay no longer has the part in 40mm. Maybe you could contact them and inquire:

[joostin420]

Had to cover up those holes on the sides. CF body side mouldings

 

[djangorc]

wow what a transformation! Last days ago I read that yo change your pinion gear to another better but I cant find it, can you say me what it is? Ty

Edit: I think find brand https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_...s&keywords=pinion+gear&ie=UTF8&qid=1521407310

Im not trying to increase speed because im noob , so my 12t stock and 13t in the box are broken, first one was because I use lube with PTFE on this (my fault ) after that I put the 13T optional and was right after 2 runs with 4s, then I put the car on the fly and test the new 6s grafhene and the pinion gear literaly exploded in front on my eyes, was very scare because my hands was very close lol.

So what do you recomend me? Ty a lot!

 

[joostin420]

Right now I have a 20t Robinson hardened pinion installed. Haven’t run yet so I have no feedback as to speed.
