Hi

You may also want to try 30k in the rear, 100k in the middle, and 50k in the front.

Hi

This is what I use in my E-Revo. I know it's not a Kraton but they are both 1/8 scale Truggies. "USUALLY" the 1k-10k oils are used in 1/8th scale Buggies and 10k-500k are used in 1/8th scale Truggies and Monster Trucks.

Just got the truck haven't changed it yet.trying to work out rear shocks and servo mount .I ordered springs and UPGRADES for the mount

Might try the speed pinion that came with the truck

i'd love to know this as well

Well from what I know the Kraton comes with 7k front and rear 10k center . When you go thicker it evens out the power flow , with stock setup lots of power goes to the front wheels , I ended up going with 500k center and 100k front/rear . You can tell a diff but still on 6s power the Kraton still wheelies like crazy running Trencher X. So I really could go to 50 k rear an see how it does . In 4s it is awesome right now and that's the battery I like to run .

so higher weight fluid keeps the front down more and reduces ballooning? or is that with lighter weight fluid?

Heavier weight ...

 

[gmanw54]

ahh yes. i actually meant to type that

ok is there a performance loss (like loss of top speed/acceleration) with heavier weight?

Not at all , I thought the same but no .

15T pinion is the sweetspot I've found for bashing. Running on 4s

 

[Heeb3]

Cool thanks i will try that, I've been running the 17t but i will try the 15t..

 

[Morgan1211]

Cool thanks i will try that, I've been running the 17t but i will try the 15t..

17T wow! Are you running stock motor and tires? Does your motor head up at all?

 

[Heeb3]

Running Trencher x 3.8 motor and esc are stock, the motor does not get to be too hot,it has never gone into protection mode. I will try the 15t though and see how it does..
