Kraton Edough's RC K6s build from chassis up

[Edough13]

First off want to give a huge shout out and thank you to @Hammer Down @Lovestricken @jondilly1974 for helping me out with parts to fix my current K6s and parts that will go to the new build!!! Ok so to start, K6s chassis, A arms, center braces(@Lovestricken), motor/center diff mount, aluminum servo mount(@jondilly1974) BLX185 ESC, BLX 4074 2050kv motor, copperhead 2 tires, Spektrum STX3 rx/tx(for now). Ordered and on the way from Jenny'sRC front and rear towers, front and rear gear boxes with complete diffs, stock servo, steering assembly. Probably be a while to knock everything off the list but want to keep track of progress. Again huge thanks guys!!!! @Hammer Down @Lovestricken @jondilly1974

More than glad to help. If I ever have things that I have no use for, I would be selfish not to share them with others.

 

[Edough13]

I am very thankful to have met all you guys, you guys are truly amazing people!! Be it the knowledge and input, the support or you guys going over and beyond by helping me with parts, I can't say thank you enough!!!

What is it you still need? I have enough parts for a couple kratons

 

[Edough13]

I still need F/R hubs/pillow balls, F/R shocks, rear tie rods, driveshafts all around, F&R suspension mounts & bumpers, center brace, wing,wheelie bar, center diff. Plan on ordering the hardware kit from JennysRC for battery tray, side guards, roll cage etc. Think that's about it lol, oh and maybe a body so it's not naked?

 

[Hammer Down]

Gald to help as well ???

 

[Edough13]

@Lovestricken let me know if you have anything your willing to part with off my list and what price you want sir, I appreciate it!!

 

[Edough13]

Just ordered the hardware from Jenny's and some shims for diffs

 

[Edough13]

Slowly but surely coming along... Need hardware to get things down and connected hopefully be here next couple days....

It’s almost like an itch you GOTTA scratch when there is an extra chassis lying around huh? Lol nice progress bud ✌?

 

[Edough13]

For sure!! Then I'll have two K6s rigs and can pass the Granite 3s down to my boy so he can keep up and bash along with Dad. His WLtoys 144001 just can't hang, but we are doing a brushless conversion on that as well waiting on last few things then it will stand a chance lol.

 

[Edough13]

More progress... Got the towers screwed on, f/r gearboxes/diffs, steering assembly, servo mount and servo, shock posts all screwed down. About all I can do until more parts arrive....

Awesome!! I’m watching closely, I plan on doing something similar if not basically exactly the same thing. It’ll probably be awhile before I can start. I’ve built a couple of rigs from scratch and and they ended up being very pricey ? but pride of ownership is worth it.
Share the final price tag when it’s finished.?

Shouldn't be too bad honestly. Motor, esc,tires, rx/tx, A arms, motor mount all pretty much free from some awesome guys on here and also bunch of free stuff from horizon for "customer satisfaction" so I'll have to see when done. Also a lot of stuff from Jenny's and again some awesome help from forum members for lower price parts.

Got my next set of parts going to the build thanks to @Lovestricken. Huge thank you for the deal on the parts! Might get motivated and get some more bolted on tonight...

What can I say I have spares lmaooooo

 

[Edough13]

Ok got what else I could get bolted down on. Rear hubs, bearings/hex's, rear tie rods, wing mount assembled, suspension hangers all around, RPM front bumper and rear skid plate, center brace mount and brace. Now if Jenny's would get the side guard, battery tray, esc mount, roll tower etc kit in stock I'd be able to finish her up....
