Kraton Arrma karton 6s exb questions

[flyxii]

I have been enjoying the kraton for a month, I made a m2c pattern plate because I noticed that my chassis was starting to bend, currently a piece of paper is going through [not too bad].

What else should I do to improve the model? What oils do you suggest for diff and shock for bash and jump? So far I have managed to break one rear lower arm and a shock bolt.

Is there anything else I should pay attention to?
On the kraton I turned the punch up from 5 to 7 on the kraton v6 pattern and the brake 50%, I use 16t pinion

Thanks !

Welcome to the fun ahead. Love that chassis brace. Sounds like you bash like a bastid. Have fun. I haven't even run mine yet, sorta chilly here. .

I’ve changed the center diff form lsd to open with the Arrma diff kit and changed the center diff to 500k I also put nitro fuel tubing on the front shocks to help keep the cvds from popping out of the diff cups I’ve seen some take the spacer and red spacer off the arms for the hubs I also bought the garage life wheelie wing mount for it that’s bout all I’ve done along with the skid plate on the rear that the new v6 comes with

That's not even a little bent. I'm almost positive they come like that from the factory.

This is a little bent.

I have put the scorched rc rear skid plate on mine just wish it was a little longer

If you go to YouTube you a look up rc chassis brace K6, I bet something will show. This Company in Canada makes some.

Nice Chassis brace! I have been wanting to try making something similar but Santa did not bring a drill press or a big garage .

Welcome to the forum, if you do some searching you will find a huge repository of threads discussing fluid weights and all kinds of mods and upgrades. I prefer the stock fluid weights for the shocks and for the diff's I like to up the weight a little, especially the center diff (500k to 1M-ish) for non LSD Diff setups.

The stock arms are pretty good, there is not much I would change on the EXB.

I like mine the way it is. But @flyxii . I like that brace.

Today I made two jumps and the outdrive cup broke
Exactly on this side I broke my lower arm. Do you think it was already weakened or is it a coincidence?

 

[blaster27]

Depends Was it cold out?

 

[flyxii]

Minus one degree, it cracked on landing, I took apart the factory rear differential and noticed that there was almost no oil at all and in my hands spinning it skipped without resistance.

I need to look into all the diff.

Welcome to the Forum!
Anything under 40 degrees the plastic becomes less flexible. Arrma is known for sending out rc's with diffs very low on fluids.

Wind chill at 30+ mph just how cold does the front end get during a 20 minute +run???

 

[blaster27]

Too cold for me , means too cold to run a rig. .
