Kraton Kraton 1/10 Scale Project

[Pito]

Hi there! I’ve waited for a Kraton 4S for a long time and tired of waiting I picked up a KEXB that I converted to an Outcast EXB.
I’ve got some spare parts laying around and with some JRC help I started my project.

Notorious V5 chassis
Mojave EXB arms and turnbuckles
Kraton hub carriers, stub axles

EXB servo mount and servo saver
HR servo horn

Front diff with 50k oil and front suspensions ready

Metal diff case for center and rear diffs and started rear suspensions

Now I have to wait hexes, motor mount and towers from JRC (delivery in Italy take long time) and decide what motor and esc fit in this build, I already got a Team Corally CS 5226 servo and DXC5 transmitter with SR6100AT receiver.

If you have some ideas for motor and esc, I will be glad to hear it.

Thanks @BashingBrian for inspiration!

See you in this pages

What wheels/tires are you planning?

Nice build, looks great, what shocks and towers are you going with?

Nice build. Wondering how it turns out.

This is awesome, coming together really nicely. I recently did sort of the same thing with a swb chassis.. I love how it turned out, I went for a rip the other day and it drives amazing. I’m sure you’ll love yours too.
Here’s how mine turned out:

I‘ve got Backflip LP in my spare box, maybe I will try it with new belted Katars

Nice build, looks great, what shocks and towers are you going with?

I already have Mojave front shocks for the front and Kraton front for the back, and a set of Kraton EXB shocks arriving from JRC. I wait for Kraton/Notorious tower but I also took a set of EXB Talion tower, will try different set and decide

For the money they cost, they are very good, in the USA they are branded as Hobbystar if you want more infos..
I have some Rocket motors in various sizes 4092, 4082 and 4586 they are all very good, but best of all if they get damaged they are very cheap to replace

I can try one, thanx!

While I have to decide on what kind of electronics put on it, I add a few things

Talion EXB towers
Mojave front shocks in the front
Kraton EXB shocks in the rear

I almost find a way to fit the Kraton body

still waiting for hexes and motor mount, shipping is a pain in the ass…

Almost finished, I swapped Spectrum electronics from the other car and painted the body, not perfect but I like it. I've ordered a yellow unbreakable body
