Kraton First run on the Kraton V5

[jrea]

Well, my first ever rc car made it about 3 minutes into its first run and then operator error occurred. Ordered some new arms so I can have some spares. Should I also pick up some RPM arms and keep the others as backup?

I broke one arm early on and not again. I say replace as they break

What he said unless you get v4 towers in aftermarket form or stock. Not sure if they changed the shocks too but i'd bet they stayed the same. Also may change the way the sway bar fits so you'd prob need a set of those from a v4.

Thank you all. I wasn’t sure about the rpm arms. I was out on a farm and there was a thin wire fence I didn’t see and the left rear hooked one of the posts at about 40mph. Didn’t help it was about 30 degrees outside.
