Hello! New here, just ran my Kraton 6s into a brick mailbox at top speed. Yes, it caused a bit of damage. Chassis is bent pretty good, front gearbox broke, sounds like rear gears a toast along with both front and rear drive shaft. Trying to figure out what version I have to order correct upgrades.
Kraton Can Someone Please Identify What Version I Have?

Welcome! This is the best way to start out in the hobby! You'll get to know your rig really well by forced wrenching. I'm sure someone will chime in with your answer. Enjoy your Kraton!

Welcome to the ᴙRanch!
Did you know that mailboxes becomes more magnetic the Faster you run your K6S..
You need to find a large open field -where there's No light poles, concrete obstacles or parked 1:1 vehicles in the way...- IF you intend to properly run your 6S rigs at full speeds..
Looks like your's a V3
Take a look here for reference >>>

I usually run it in the field across from our house. My neighbor amd I had a few cocktails when he saw the truck and asked how fast it goes. So I took it out ripped a few passes and I think the last cocktail kicked in...the rest is history. But it now allows the opportunity to do some needed upgrades.

Everything damaged including chassis should be upgraded to at least EXB/v5

Anything will break if you drive it wrong enough.

FWIW all the V5 stuff will bolt right on, but for the rear you absolutely need to replace the shock towers and arms at the same time in order to retain the proper suspension geometry.
