Kraton Kraton EXB 1/8 Build

[JJay18]

Getting back into the hobby after quite a few years away. Wanted a basher first to have fun anywhere while I get a track area setup. I will list all my parts and try to explain some of them.

Very nice build bro!

Thanks, I was trying to keep it reliable without too much overkill. Will see how this holds up.

@JJay18 I really like those aluminum hubs and ESC mount.

Great build man!

What did you use to make that front body support on the shock tower? I’ve been trying to come up with something for my Kraton.

Just a piece of rubber I found laying in the shop which I cut to size.

Well done. Looks good. The power switch works well there, that’s where I put mine as well, but I zip tied it through a couple holes I drilled lol . Looks like you got most of the good mods done. Shhhweeet

Thanks, I am still thinking about getting some m2c output cups for when my new diffs get here and their shock cap kit.

Went and got a screen repair kit to hopefully keep the grass out of my fan blades. Now I need to figure out a way to do the esc fan cleanly.

Get these as a replacement for the stock hexes. They’re thicker and offer more surface capture in your wheel hex…….they are the stock fireteam hexes.
