Hello, All!
Long time RC guy, newbie to Arrma. Just rebuilt my (new) Kraton to put in some upgrades and change out the diff fluids. Please let me ask you:
1) Are there any better build manuals than the horrible exploded views that come in the manual? Guess I like the big ol’ diagrams that show the entire assembly process and actual size of the screws. When you have the entire thing apart, it’s impossible not to mix up screws...
2) Is it just me, or are these diff covers a pain in the rear to align and re-assemble? It’s like they don’t pop on - you need to find a way to get all 4 screws pre-aligned which is not easy at all
3) The v4 seems to have shims in all the right places and there is so little slop - nice! However, the alignment of the spur gear with the main gear (even with the included shim to bring them closer) is not perfect. On both the front and rear diffs, they are smooth with one exception - at a certain point on the gear there is a hot spot where it is extremely tight. Anyone else see this?
Thanks, guys!
