I’m trying and thanks bro !!keep making vids and get better man....
Next time I go to skate park “if I do again” I will take some videos of itwe all aspire to jump these things like rich d...
No that’s my buddies truck and the Kraton is my other buddies I just have a granite .... my buddies notorious always breaks too but he’s rough on it idk how many times he’s had to replace things on it like shocks a arms etc etc if I got a higher end arma I’d definitely get the Kratondo you jump the notorious?
Yeah I’ve heard good things about tbone stuff and I ordered me some last week and they will be here Thursday I will post pics for yaGetting back on track to my original post. I had itchy ordering fingers at work again today. I ordered a tbone racing wing mount and xv4 front bumper/skid.
So the lowest ride height is better when jumping? I didn't know that. I figured a higher ride help would be better. I also thought shock oil was to control rebound?[/QUOTE
Dialing in more preload will give you a higher ride height, that will help with landing by reducing chassis slap somewhat, but on huge jumps thicker shock oil will help more. The purpose of shock oil is to provide damping, in both compression and rebound.
It definitely needs some upgrades out of the box, #1 thing I would spend money on is some Tekno shock springs, and maybe the shocks too, but I haven't tried the Arrma since they made the thicker shafts, maybe OK for a while if you have the recent Arrma shocks. See various threads about Tekno springs, I forget what I'm running, but it makes a world of difference. Stock springs and oil weights are garbage.
#2 hardened pinion gear, I like 15t for Outcast, but I'm also running a 2000kv motor from the Nero and MMX ESC, both with Wild Turbo fans attached, so trial and error so you don't overheat the electronics.
#3 RPM front bumper
#4 metal servo mount - your choice, or do the $3 aluminum post mod if you're cheap
#5 metal chassis braces - also haven't tried the stock plastic ones since they were updated for V3 trucks, eliminates flex, but I never broke a plastic one.
#6 HR aluminum cup for center diff, add heavy oil, prevents blowout of the plastic cup
These are all pretty cheap items that will harden up the truck a lot and make it work better. After that you can get into more HR parts and Mugen diff internals. I also like the HR motor mount setup, makes for easy change of pinion or motor.
I've never broken a stock wing mount running as Kraton or Outcast (I have parts to make mine either truck).
Good to know. Got any part numbers on the mugen diff internals? If I end up getting a HR center cup, might go with the better internal gears as well, just for longevity.Didn't know about change in springs, but the all Orange were too stiff for me. I went through lots of tuning with springs and oils to get it where I wanted it, handling like a trophy truck.
I went with the complete Mugen diff internals last time I broke the front, harder gears and the shims.
4s isn't even a challenge, if you want to run 6s you're going to break cheap Arrma pinion almost day 1, and maybe diff gears.
