Kraton Guess it's about time to start breaking stuff

[Rexyboy]

Decided yesterday to build a ramp for my Kraton 6S so I could more consistently find some jumps nearby. Kraton is box spec at the moment so expect a little carnage in the coming days. Hopefully this weekend I can get it sheeted and try it out.

Ramp has 45 degree takeoff and a smoother transition than what appears in the photo.

Any bets on the first thing to break?

Chassi brace will break if still plastic somwhere

My guess is you’ll break a shock rod end.
Nice ramp! ?

What are you going to use for the deck?

What are you going to use for the deck?

I have a 6mm sheet of marine ply ready to go. I considered two layers of 4mm but went for simplicity.

 

[Hammer Down]

I wouldn’t go any less than 6mm or you’ll start putting holes in the ramp with any speed.

Wing mount. I would order it (x2) now. ?? Otherwise, send it!

Bumper screws

Wing mount

It's funny, I'm yet to break a wing mount. Everyone seems to have issues with them but I'm still running the original one which is quite flexible. *** touch wood.

Front right a arm my bet?

I’ve yet to break mine too. But I have no wing left?

You know at least someone could say ...'you'll be solid. I reckon you will run out of packs before you break anything'. Either way I will keep this thread updated.

Nice ramp!

 

[rgfast]

I'd say wing mounts and ESC fan

 

[JtkBrew]

The ramp??? ?‍

Does bent shock tower count as broken?

What was your H/L/W measurements? I'm about to build something similar

looks great...any final pics or action video??

I would go about 2-3’H, 3-4’L and min 3’ wide. If that’s not enough you can always build another. ?

OK. I have finally had a chance to sheet up the ramp and it is ready for a run prior to painting assuming it doesn't need mod's.

Size is 1060mm (42") long x 600mm (24") high by 810mm (32") wide. Most of the dimensions chose themselves. I couldn't fit anything longer in my car (this just fits), the width is a standard sheet of ply and any wider would mean more cost and the height was cause I had some ply lying around the house. I initially wanted to go twice the width of the Kraton (2x450mm) but the standard sheet size was close enough.

Over 40 degrees C (104 F+) here today so not sure it will get a look in. Watch this space.......

Yeah man, looks great.
I'm in the same situation. Restricted by where the ramp is gonna go (transport), for me it's the back of the minivan. So plan is 30 inches tall, 50in long, and 45 inches wide.
The ideal is for every inch in height, you have 2 in length. I'm not too far off that but I really wanted more than two feet because I actually could go as high as 36....but that would likely be too steep. I'm restricted by the length of 50 inches. I might just trim a few inches more off the height to be more proportional. This would nemy big ramp.... Somehow I want to make another one to fit in my mini cooper ??
Thoughts?
