Kraton I bought a Kraton slider

[332_RC]

Been talking about it. Finally did it. I bought a Kraton slider. V5. RPM arms already & a aluminum servo mount. Should ship out today. Honestly it looked nearly new in the pics. Gonna put some sauce in this bad boy. I love my Notorious, now the Kraton

Ahh, the sweet process of building a roller with your desired electronics… Enjoy!

At least you're getting it... in one piece.

Have you seen my K roller?

 

[332_RC]

Nope. K roller. On your build lists??

Nice chassis! Builds are always fun!

Whoa that's wild. Yeah this looks like new really.
Few more pics. Tell me, in the pic of the  RED top front plate for the bulkhead, my Notorious came black. The Arrma website shows black on the Kraton. But some are like this w the Arrma logo holes. Factory plate? Aftermarket? Or is it a V4? I'm pretty sure it's a V5.

After snooping on the web I believe the red top plate is a V4. No matter. It's getting a big block

OR hopefully very soon

I got tracking. Should be here Monday. I'll go over it well. It has RPM arms F&R. I've read conflicting reports about them. Better than the V4 arms-super strong, worse than the V4 arms-too flexible. Axles popping out. Alignment issues. Anyone?

I have the RPM arms (F & R). Still in their original packaging..

The OEM arms that came on the dumpster fire are still going strong!
Even though they are scuffed to hell..
And one of them (front driver side) inner hinge area has been chewed up by a popped dogbone.

Axles popping out. Alignment issues. Anyone?

Double check the droop screws so the arms aren't sagging too far where the axles starts to bind etc.
or "shorten" the shocks** to limit the arms travel..

Either way should help alleviate any of those concerns.





**with Shock Limiters.

Kraton slider showed today. It looks great. It's a V3. RPM arms. Really clean & straight. No damage, very little use. I like it. I'll throw a tower brace on. Got leftover takeoff V5 Notorious parts if I need them. Got a V5 motor mount already. A weird Talion looking body came with it. I'm not sure about that yet. Looking at a 4292 motor. Considered a TP4060 but I think the 4292 is what I'll do.
