Yup ordered one about a hour ago. More carnage just inspected my wheels and all four have cracks in them no wonder that truck was harder than normal to drive. Any recommendations for tires I was thinking of trying the Xmaxx tires. I have the duratrax and for jumping they are to hard.

Give the Xmaxx tires a spin!
I haven’t experimented much yet but I think Duperbash likes the Xmaxx tires.

I just answered you on YouTube ? See the grass stuck in the cracks? That's the giveaway. I bet if you look on the other side it's even worse!

I still keep using the stock tires. Buy the wheels only and bake the rubber off the broken wheels. Or get a set from JRC ???

Several have asked about the droop screw for the Kraton 8s arms. I put two M3 bolts x 14mm per arm see the picture.

It finally came the extreme basher kit. This is what it includes. I will let you know if I have any problems mounting it to the M2c chassis. TGIF

Newb question. What are droop screws and what purpose do they serve?

Newb question. What are droop screws and what purpose do they serve?

The are screws that are put in the a-arms that stop downward travel of the arms when the screw hits the chassis tabs below. This effectively lowers the ride height and saves shock ends from being the limiter on travel.

Just check my thread https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/r4nd0ms-kraton-8s-kratonstein-build-log.21079/ the only issue is the rear brace but you can see what I did for the moment

I lost one a while back, looked everywhere at the landing zone, found it eventually........in the run up area to the jump..it was a Hot Racing nut so I’m glad to have found it.
