Kraton Building my Kraton

Don't use stainless steel screws, they will bend break and strip. Coat the screw heads in wd40 before and after a run.

Oh got it. I just sprayed it also to give that shine lube look. Lol

That bar is a good upgrade. The stock one bent on mine right away, and while a hammer does "fix" it, the part is weakened and bends easier next time. Since the replacement with the Voltage Hobbies Part, no bends.

Yes just Changed it. And i notice the servo will need to be upgraded i see how it turns quick on one side and the other side turns like a semi making wide turn.

 

[KrazyKraton14]

Lasted 30mins.

I think i neeed New servo to get a bit more response, ducking car cnt do sharp turns no more. It dors wide turns due to tires. Lol

Ill need new Arms now.

 

[slick2500]

Might as well get the Rpms.

 

[KrazyKraton14]

I got stock for now to get by today. Ordered rpm also

Parts came also so had to do Upgrade.

Couldn't wait ended up doing the work at my chinese food spot. Lol

Looking good man.
If you want to protect your chassis from scratches I recommend some automotive vinyl sheet. I got a 1 foot by 5 foot roll off eBay for like $6. I've run 4 packs through my Outcast since wrapping the chassis and it is holding up a lot better than I expected. This is what I wrapped mine in just to give you an example http://www.ebay.com/itm/Morning-Woo...var=551728884409&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
I thought it turned out really nice.

Why is your servo mounted backwards? Maybe that is why you are having issues with the steering.
