How about a Kraton Pre-Build thread? (Now a build thread!)

I haven't updated this in a while.

Upgrades since my last post:

- Full upgrade of stock bearings and bushings to Jim's bearings.
- Added Power Hobby motor fans and heatsink.
- Switched the stock servo to a DS Servo 35KG.
- Robinson Racing 14T pinion.

Also just noticed that one of my front, lower A-arms is busted, so I'm going to have to add RPM arms.

Here's an updated picture. She needs a bath!

I got the RPM a arm set. Since only one side was busted, I went cheap and only bought one set. Now my Kraton looks like this guy:

I just fixed the same issue ? I didn’t read the listing well enough. On eBay they sell complete sets (3 packs) for less.
 
Update time! As mentioned in another thread, my chassis snapped in half. 🙁

Time to transfer everything over to a new chassis. Thankfully, @Jimbobjr had a spare that he very graciously sent me to get my Kraton back on it’s feet!

Of course, I couldn’t leave well enough alone, so I took some time to do something I had wanted to do with my original chassis before it snapped. Custom paint!

I know the paint probably won’t last long, but I’m excited with the way it turned out. Now I just need to get this put back together. I also ordered a rear m2c chassis brace since it looked like my old one was a bit beat up. I’m sure there will be more to fix as I tear into it. Hopefully not too much!
