I have moved the shocks in to the third hole and put 70wt oil in front and 60wt in rear. Also you can adjust the preload to help stop bottoming out by screwing shock retainers down and increasing the preload on the shocks. Stock is always soft in every rtr truck ive bought, how high are you jumping? A few feet or launching it? Be careful the shock rod ends and pushrod ends are weak and will break if ypur jumping it high.
Josh - Can you please speak to the differences between the Kraton and Nero ? I am planning on the Kraton 2.0 but I have two Mts already and was thinking maybe a 1/10 scale car like a HPI RSR Sport or a buggy maybe.
The nero is a monster truck type vehicle the kraton is like a monster truggy... completely diffrent platforms, the kraton has an aluminum chasis with everything on top, easily accessible. The nero is more like an erevo but built much much better. Love both trucks, my kraton has badlands, 16 tooth pinion, 70 wt front 60 wt rear shock oil, tekno orange 90mm springs on all 4 corners, 100k rear diff 50k center diff 50k and a touch of 100k in front diff. Nero has same combo of shock oil and diff lube. If i was to vuy another nero it would be the one without the lockers. Nothing wrong with lockers just i don't use them much... kraton jumps high, its fast, tons of fun... nero is also fun it does not jump as well as the kraton but im working on getting it dialed in... nero has more tunability with shocks and diff lockers. I am buying a talion or typhoon to make in to my fast as hell street car...
I had adapters made when i had traxxas chargers... but i have sold off all my traxxas batteries and chargers... i now have a venom duo pro 2 charger and love it. I have the onyx batteries 5400mah 3s 50c and i just ordered 7200mah 70c spc batteries. I also need to get myself a soldering stationary i take all my stuff to lhs and have him do my soldering.
I have a Venom Dual too josh - LOVE it. Solid and fast. Hey - do you use fast charge or charge? I use charge for overnight and if Im just popping outside - I use fast charge.
I am getting my unassembled Super Swampers today / tomorrow - I am taping the foam so no ballooning pizza pies. I absolutely LOVE them on the nero. I was going to get the Kraton stock wheels - Ive heard they are fantatsic but - F-It. Im getting the Kraton bud with my next commission check. The Kraton first caught my eye back in February and I was hesitant because of parts availability ..... not anymore!!
I bought the hi tec x2 plus charer and am very happy with it. It's my first lipo charger amd the menus are intuitive and reviews were good as well. It's about $100 but there are discount codes that will bring it lower to around $80(?)
