Kraton 6S, 3D printed upgrades

[Malibusteve70]

Been designing and printing a lot of parts for my Kraton 6s since I bought it 4 months ago. Here's the list of what I have so far:

• ABS Rear Skid plate

• TPU Mud guards

• Polycarbonate front bumper+skid plate

• Polycarbonate shock rod ends

• Ninjaflex body clip retainers

• TPU GoPro Hero5,6,7,8 mounts- (Video of how it holds up to the abuse and still keeps the gopro hero8 safe without a case! -

• ABS FPV roof and windshield housing

Aside from that, fast eddy's bearings, new servo, and a Flysky GT5 are the only other upgrades. Not sure what is next! Any suggestions?

Awesome!
I am amazed that you can print functional body clip retainers. Gotta get myself some of that ninjaflex filament.

And they're 10x stronger than the stock ones. I've yet to break one.

How much for a set?

Nice work mate!
I like your body clip retainers!
Been doing the same with mine at the moment.
Printed some mud guards and a rear skid plate too.

Quick tip:
Make the countersinked holes a bit bigger/deeper on your rear skid plate otherwise you kill the screw heads at some point and can't remove them anymore. Been there, wasn't fun.

Hmmm, like $2.50 plus shipping?

Thanks for the advice! I was actually noticing the heads starting to get warn down, so I just swapped it for a new one. I'll tweak the design so I have a little more room!
