Nice Stopped raining here a couple hours ago.

How do you like the leopard 4092 1730kv motor; running on 6s? I am thinking about getting one for a senton project because a tp 4070 won’t fit

I like the motor, but adding a fan wouldn’t hurt. It has no cooling fins so I check my temps more often during WOT runs. I should probably add a fan. I’m running a 17t pinion on 6s and it’s a totally different beast from the stock setup.

Here's my new body. The Proline thats been on here before. Not fancy paint but I like the all black. New bumpers, wheel bar, tires and a new Hobbywing ESC so far. Experts may notice the tires are not bolted on, I was running stock so I wouldn't tear up the grass. They are on for these pics Use the big guns for the dirt!View attachment 19214View attachment 19215

It's a discontinued HPI Savage XL body. They are hard to find, but sometimes they pop up on ebay. Try ebay UK or Australia.

Did you need aftermarket body posts for the front? I cut my proline vw body and looks like I need to get higher body posts

I will try this lil setup. I raised the front posts and added a piece of thick lexan as a brace with a couple of spacers. Hope it holds


Actually after looking at it for a bit, I will add a couple little braces that go to the lower screws too

@Moffe I like the your Proline Milita body, looks good.

One of my personal favorite bodies for the Arrma Kraton is the Proline Bulldog (for the MBX-6T).

Another one done by Proline is the Chevy Silverado body, though it's not really my style for the Arrma Kraton.

This looks incredible! nice job I want one!

I'm liking the look of this. Since I'm a huge Vw bug fan, I might just give it a go.

Did you ever do this body? Im looking now Vs the one i got and this body is 5.75" top to bottom Vs mine 6.5 top to bottom and it comes to the side of the Kraton chassis side plastic perfect so i don't think that one will, unless im missing something? Kinda odd how that body is 4" longer but shorter then mine. I so want to lose the wing and wing mount on my kraton...

Hi All - I just got a Kraton (OMFG it's fun!). I was going back and forth between a Talion and a Kraton, mostly because I wanted the Kraton's better bashing abilities but much preferred the look of the Talion. Then it occurred to me that I could just change the body...

I've found three that I like the look of. The first is a 'safe option' from Pro-Line, in that it's pre-cut, already coloured and designed for the Kraton: https://www.prolineracing.com/bodies/pre-cut-brute-bash-armor-white-body-kraton.asp

The other two are from a Russian supplier on eBay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Unbreakabl...r-Tiger-Mt4g3-Hpi-Savage-Traxxas/202577582937

One says it fits the Kraton, and it seems possible that the other can be made to fit with some work. Has anyone else tried one of their bodies? They're only on eBay and called ProBodyRC (https://www.ebay.com/sch/probodyrc/m.html).

The Militia body is my favourite, but I can't work out how they did the row of 6 lights...

The unbreakables looks like they are ripping off the molds from proline by melting his material over proline bodys. They also look horrible but thats just me.

 

[Brandon]

Curious but haven’t pulled the trigger on one yet.

To be fair, though, the Proline militia body isn't available any more, so it's not like they're taking business away from Proline.

 

[Brandon]

That’s fair. I put a bid in on one. Just can’t see $80.00 for a bootleg?

I was speaking for all the bodys they/he ripped off, even all the brands that are still selling theirs. Im not saying not to buy, i just thought i'd point that out.

I almost ordered the pro-line desert raid body but got another Bajr body instead, and now I see this has been discontinued! Dadgum!! I really like the lines on this one to...

How well did that body fit? Do you have any pics?

 

[neonspeed]

I've had a few bodies. The stock body is very good but I did learn that I prefer no wing and also prefer covering the rear shock tower. I like this Parma Grave Digger and also the ones you mentioned. The orange body I have is for a Mugen truggy.... it looks pretty cool but like I said, I rather ditch the wing and have a more rounded roof body.

What's the orange body called or the part number for it?

Where did you get that? That is awesome?

I'm going for the Pro-line Brute. This winter has been hell on my bodies. The cold makes everything so brittle.
