Greetings,
Looking to build a dedicated 6S jumper this winter and thought I’d ask the collective what they like and why. (Hopefully I didn’t miss a thread about this already)
Quick background: I have most of the 6S Arrma line and enjoy them all for different reasons. (Kraton EXB/M2C, Kraton XL, Notorious V5, Typhon 6S V5, Talion EXB, Mojave EXB) Having these all makes me have a good start for any build and they all will get jumped on the regular anyways. Expect to use M2C and Basherqueen parts for strength, 3D-RC parts for flexibility.
Almost bought a SWB tank build but felt like I wanted a longer base to put power down more effectively on the run up. (Plus the OP thought Washington was out of country)
My initial thoughts are a longer wheelbase, Kraton or Mojave with Mojave arms/shocks/shock towers. Thinking that the shorter arms might be less prone to breaking because less leverage and that the narrower width might make hitting the ramp easier. (But I’d lose some suspension travel.)
- Would the Talion chassis be better because the center diff is more centered than the Kraton? (but a longer front driveshaft that might be more prone to bending)
- Longer arms for more suspension travel?
- What chassis length do you like… SWB, Kraton wheelbase or Mojave wheelbase?
- 6S tires, Backflip LP‘s or Mojave Fortress tires?
- max6/1650 combo or a ~2050kv to be lighter?
- anything else important that I left out?
Thanks for your time and sharing your insights!
