Hi all, spent the afternoon installing my Just Bash It Chassis on my new Kraton. Only problem I had, was I tried using stainless screws from RCscrewz. Bummer, way soft, heads strip very easy. I should have know better, after reading about the tensil strength on a thread here. Oh well. Might do the shock towers tomorrow. All in all, I wish I'd left it alone. The chassis is heavy. No way is it going to bend, but kinda like a flying brick! I also did the "T Bone" front bumper, and wheelie bar. The wheelie bar works great, can walk it on the wheelie bar most of the way down the street. Don't know yet how well it will hold up to bad landings though. Wheels are on ball bearings. Being sorta new to this hobby, I can't quite decide which way I want to go, and so far it looks like I'm going all directions. This new heavy duty Kraton will probably be best suited for just bashing around. My new Typhon 3S will probably wind up with a 6S system in it (smile), and I have a new Nortorious coming Thursday, that I will use to try to learn jumps, flips, etc. etc. Now I need to build a ramp. My advice to anyone here newer than me, is, as has been said many times here, when you get your new truck, whatever it is, just run it, and upgrade on repairs if not just replacing the stock parts. Some of this bling stuff is just that, Bling. $$$$
