Kraton Kraton Destroyed (Rebuild Started!)

[Steve]

Too late now, but you could have got a new Kraton and used what you can salvage for spares.

I did think about that...but the part list to repair added up to less than half that of a new Kraton.
A new V2 Kraton would be sweet though.

Simple math is always the best! WTG!

Progress!
It wont be long now...

Looking good....I've been trying to get a Thunder Tiger wheelie bar but they are out of stock all over the place. I got someone saying September it will be in.

That's where I ordered it form....the next day he E-Mails me and said they are all out. I'll try building one for now until it comes.

The braces look great, some parts are better off left with some give and some are worth beefing up. I notice some people put a huge I beam across the shock towers. It would be great is the metal braces just do the trick. The big I-beam braces wont fit under my body.

Wow, they look awesome.
Since I just put new plastic ones on I'll hold off for now but it is tempting. Thank's for the info!
I see he makes the servo mount too.

Bummer!
When I got mine, they were all over ebay...
There is one on Ebay but it is from Taiwan so shipping could take a month. No fun.

It's Alive!

The new motor (that I only ran once...) is the beastly Leopard 4092 1730KV. The Leo 4082 2000KV that I used to have in it went into my Senton. It was a monster in the Kraton but with the Pro-Line Trencher X's, temps were getting a bit high on 6s.

This thing is huge.
I believe this is similar to what Thomas-P runs in one of his Kratons. 14t pinion for now but I think I may have to gear up...

What an animal !!!

 

[Dubbl-A]

New body started!!

 

[Vanning]

Sweet

 

[mrbelloso]

Looks nice

 

[Vanning]

Dubb's must be busy painting....I can't wait for more.

 

[Dubbl-A]

Haha!! I've been slacking...The Olympics have been soaking up my evenings lately.
Need to get back to work!

 

[Vanning]
