Kraton Hi, new here, my first Arrma build, K8S EXB, nothing crazy

[erikinsac]

Hi AF, figured I would share what I threw together in the last 10 days. k8s exb, its a super fun truck so far. Thanks for all of the info shared on this site, helps narrow down decision making!
I didnt go crazy on parts spec. I had no experience with 1/5 30lb trucks haha. So I started with a HW Max5/1100KV, Primal RC servo and a few minor upgrades, like the RadicalRC bash bar and 3dRC bumper insert. I did 500k/earplugs/500K in the diffs, the arrma aluminum rear diff carrier and added the wheelie bar. I kept flipping it onto its lid.
Rest of the build is a few custom parts, carbon plate for the ESC and made the arrma roof support brace fit the taller Proline Brute body. My paint skills arent the best, but its a basher, right? hehe. I ordered a few logo stickers from ebay and the wing decal I did in photoshop.

Here are the pics. Sucks it isnt sunny today, the one day I wanted to take photos and it rained in Sacramento. Odd. The dark blue stripe pops in the sun, looks black otherwise.

Anyway, thanks for looking and thanks for the awesome forum.

Welcome aboard and very cool! I wouldn't want to get that lid dirty though! It's sharp looking!

Thanks guys!
I hear ya on the dirty part, but cleaning them is part of the fun I guess. I did apply paint protection film all over the major scuff areas. I let my 12yo drive it and she flipped it into a roof skid in grand fashion haha.
sure, NOW the sun comes out
