Got a kraton for xmas - yeah.
Still waiting to run it - I guess mine was not a RTR
Out of the box the front right wheel had a talion AR310484 17.6mm wheel hex with a broken pin?
The three other wheels had the correct kraton AR310592 24.6mm wheel hex.
Ha - I guess 3 out of 4 ain't bad.
Anyway tower hobby was good to ship out the correct parts.
So took apart the whole thing to make sure everything else was in good working order.
Used lots of loctite everywhere - good - but used red "permanent" loctite on the diff input cup grub screws?
Those grub screws where hard to remove.
The front diff cup had so much red loctite it seized the cup onto the shaft and the shaft onto the outer bearing. Had to use some acetone and some force to separate cup from shaft and shaft from bearing. Wow!
Front diff was full but center and rear diff were pretty empty.
Anyway, everything else looks good and have some fast eddy bearings on order.
Also not sure why they used brass bushings for steering bell-cranks?
The bearing kit will fix that.
Looks like a solid design and it is easy to work on.
But I would recommend a complete inspection and tear down before your RTR is ready to run.
Curious if anyone else has had similar issues.
