So thats all i need because i looked at the exploded view and it says i have to spend 250 dollars on just plastic parts

It's cheaper to just buy the Kraton then to try to convert a Big Rock into one.

i just want it to look like a kraton with the big tires and wide stance any way to do that under $150?

Just jump on jennys rc buy the a arms, drive shafts, hubs, turnbuckles and camber links from the Kraton 4s or Outcast 4s and either the Copperhead LP or the Backflip LP tires. Not sure how much it is going to cost but that is literally going to be your cheapest option.

Idk if the driveshafts come with the wheel hexes and hex nuts but you need those too.

Sell the Big Rock then buy the Kraton, easiest and most cost effective conversion.

how much could i get for my big rock, brand new motor esc and servo bronco spare body

I'm sorry I forgot the hubs are different from 3s to 4s. I'm an idiot.

I looked i to just doing the kraton arms/axles/hubs etc to give the big rock the wide stance.
Even after looking up the parts from breakers on ebay the cost was WAY up there.. like 245$. You'd need the chassis (which is harder to find and more expensive) motor mount body and bumpers still...
Best bet if you want the kraton is just buy the kraton. Keep or sell the big rock if you need to/want to to offset the cost.

Welcome to the forum btw!

You don't have to do the chassi right away. If you just do driveshafts hubs, arms and connecting rods. The hubs and arms do not break easy at all! Or save, holiday sales are right around the corner. Brand new kraton .

 

[slick2500]

I say save up and get a real Kraton the 6s.

Where do you think i got the idea for "Wide Rock"?
On the granites swb it sure is crazy looking!
I liked the idea of the big rock cause- mid length chassis+ wide stance means stability and prob a little stronger then the kratons longer chassis. After pricing it all I became very content at leaving the big rock alone and purchasing a Notorious 6s instead. It didn't make sense at all $ wise.
