Kraton Center Diff?

[YakAttack]

After running my 4s kraton a few times I really like its performance and durability, so far...
Is there any chance they will ever release a center differential to replace the slipper assembly?
I think with a center diff it would be near perfect in my opinion.

That's one thing that's keeping me away from considering getting rid of something I have to get one of the 4S models.

I have a stampede 4x4 vxl, when stock, it's solid axle like the 3s/4s trucks. On 2S, it was liveable, but once I started running 3S, it was a pain to drive. It's COG is quite a bit higher than the arrma 3s/4s series, so it's very tippy and wheelie prone. Putting a center diff in it was a night and day difference. Now I can really drive it like a fool and it just scoots!

No.

 

[olds97_lss]

No.

Why so definite? Did they say something about that?

The logistics make it nearly impossible with the current chassis.

I haven't had one in my hands for more than 20 seconds to see how things go together. Oddly, traxxas shoehorns one into the stampede/slash platform.

They also made a diff conversion for the emaxx slipper clutch. Anything is possible. The only immediate upgrade needed for the Kraton 4s is a stronger servo, stock is garbage. Everything else is pretty good for 4s power and plastic components, especially the drivetrain. It's pretty amazing what arrma has accomplished with this truck.

 

[E-fanatic]

Yeah a stronger servo saver , better servo and a center diff. All my rc trucks have a center diff but this one. It's the main thing stopping this from being one of my absolute favorites

 

[MyZuC]

The servo saver isn't an issue once you change the servo. Yeah the center diff would be nice, but it's not a problem in the this truck. You just have to adjust how you drive. You can't power through turns, you have to slow down to initiate turns otherwise it will push hard through the turns. It's a different driving experience than a center diff truck. Still very capable once you adjust.

How loose can I set the slipper to keep good acceleration without damage.
I can finesse the throttle but one of the reasons I bought this truck was to let other people drive it.
Or just I just dial down the punch?

Having a 6s outcast I realize how much difference a diff makes.

Yeah, having one on my stampede took it from "OMG THIS IS ANNOYING TO DRIVE" to "THIS IS AWESOME!!!".

My rustler 4x4 is the same.

I wouldn't set it loose as it will just burn up the pads.

Me, I squeeze to the maximum and leave a quarter turn.
I changed the radio for the DX5C.
This allows me to add a little expo, for the power of the engine.

Yeah you’re right. Finesse it is.

I’ll probably switch to a better radio eventually.

Why no center diff arrma why!!!!!!

Cost and simplicity.

 

[bicketybam]

Cost and simplicity.

Exactly!

 

[olds97_lss]

Cost and simplicity.

Well... they could figure something out as an option part like traxxas does with the stampede 4x4/slash 4x4/rustler 4x4.

I like this size of truck. the whole driveline could have upgrades for them. I would buy them all!
