Kraton Is there a REAL manual for Kraton 4s?

[Barmaleus]

Hi all!

Does anyone know if a real, detailed manual for Kraton 4s exists? All I could find on the official website is the exploded view and a basic manual about inserting batteries into a transmitter (with some other basics). Could not find any papers about all the fluid types used, detailed descriptions of chassis components, shocks settings/adjustment recommendations, overall settings tips/recommendations. Like, something that a person new to RC could refer to.

Perhaps I just could not find it =)

No. Refer to this forum. It does stink that Arrma has never released a decent build manual for any of their rigs.

The manual that is included in the box is the real and only manual. Traxxas really does make some good manuals explaining all the adjustments and fluids.

This forum does exist for people to ask questions so please even if it is a really simple question, don't be afraid to ask or just search on google "Arrma Kraton 4s diff fluid arrma forum"

Make sure to put arrma forum at the end of the search to bring up the forum threads.

If you go on the page for the K4s on horizon hobby they have a section for all the quick links. Here is a link to all that
Here is what it looks like:

Hope this helps!

It used to come with a little folded sheet on the v2 on how to adjust the slipper and the oil weights.by memory the diffs were 10k and the center is 100k the shocks i believe are 550cst.

Thanks! Yep, I found all the official links and stuff. Was just kinda saddened a bit that a lot of things are not covered officially
But sure, search and forums are our friends.

Useful, thank you! I wonder why Arrma does not hold all those extra details in the manual. To be the main source of all the information. Would be very nice
