Hi,
My name is Adi, I'm from Romania and this will be the build log of my 2018 kraton.
This is my first ever hobby grade RC, I've never built anything like this before. I have zero experience in RC. Furthermore, I live in an apartment building so no garage or big tools for me. Also I try and keep things as least expensive as possible but we all know how this works... So please bare with me .
I've purchased my kraton about 2 months ago, just as stocks were starting to dissapear (that actually made me take the leap and buy it).
So far I have on it:
HR front and rear alu chassis braces
YeahRacing dual fan + radiator cooling YA-0261BK
RPM front and rear suspension arms (those are actually unmounted, beeing a newbie i didn't wanna break the rpm ones first so i've stuck with stock.. but the damn things won't give )
RPM front bumper/skid 81472
POS Racing rear skid plate
POS Racing Center Diff mount (built by M³)
50k/300k/50k diff oil setup
Turnigy GT5 radio and receiver setup (with gyro built in)
Voltage Hobbies Servo Mount
Servo: Power HD DW-25LV
Reinforced body with shoe goo, drywall tape and liquid rubber layer
All of the above are pretty standard upgrades i'd say of the plug and play nature (well, screw and play). I did strip a few threads here, mounted the receiver vertical instead of horizontal there... but other than that all went as smooth as it could for a newbie like me.
Moving on to the custom stuff i've added and of which i'll be showing pictures in the below post.
