Kraton I picked up a new toy today.

When I was at the hobby store getting some parts I needed, I decided to pick up a new toy just to have some fun with. Out of the box,this thing is huge,now I need to figure out what gears work the best for bashing and all around fun. If any of you have one, let me know how you like it.

Nice.
Just make sure to get to the Gym more frequently.
You might be carrying it around more than you think.

Definitely, it weighs enough

Thanks, I tried it out today, lots of fun,something different than doing speed runs, I geared it 27 pinion and stock 47 spool, lots of power

I would start with the 20 pound bar bells doing curls. Then work your way up to 30 pound bar bells.
If you plan on running 2 10k+ mah lipos. Work your way up to 40 pound Curls.

Looks great! Same motor/esc as mine but I’m currently running 34/47 gearing. So far I’ve managed to break the front bumper cushion deal, a rear link end and I blew up one of the rear tires last weekend.

How fast is it with the 34 pinion

How fast is it with the 34 pinion

Just ordered a skyrc gnss so I can get a reading. I will try to remember to report back here what this one does and what my outcast with a max5/980kv and 30/39 gearing does.

That's cool

Love mine

Max 5 / 1100 kv
30/39
Wheelie bar that doubles as a carrying handle (MUCH APPRECIATED)

Its a monster
and I love it.

Even though 30 lb will test the limits of all components, I haven't broke any thing yet in the few runs I have on it. (Just getting used to it, as it is my first 8S rig.....)

I just resolved and accepted that I will replace what breaks , as it breaks.....

Awesome car. And get one of these. Always carry that with me for the X-Maxx. Saved me a lot of sweat!

Is your 34/47 gearing good for all around bashing,Temps good

Word of advice, consider not using those batteries on that car.
I had those batteries on my X-Maxx with stock electronics and after with Hobbywing Max6+1100kv
No issues at all.

Then I got a K8S with a Hobbywing Max6+800kv geared at 39/39 and it destroyed two pairs of those batteries.
Too much power draw for them. All got puffed, one got a dead cell. Had to get rid of them, all 4.

Currently using gensacearespammers (brand name auto replaces on arrmaforum) 11000mah 4S2P

So far so good. Blew a tire last weekend but this weekend I’m hoping to try it with backflips, copperheads and trenchers.

I’m also using the same batteries as you and so far no issues.

Yeah, so far these batteries are working good, get about 20 min hard run time, going to put a 29 pinion in now and try in the morning

So far I put on rpm arms,badlands tires,m2c chassis, made an extra brace with the old chassis, shock mod to take care of the extra droop. So far it's an 80 mph truck,plenty for off road and occasional speed run,it's an all around fun vehicle.

I picked up supplies and started building a ramp for it,hopefully works out good when it's done

Actually, that is very little carnage. You did good so far.
