Kraton Kraton EXB solid rear axle option???

[Loadsofnothing20]

Hello I have read maybe 30 threads on similar things but nothing like a solid axle option for the EXB. I have my exb fitted with a castle 2028 mamba xlx combo running 8s, I don't bash my car. Its more for speed i have had it at 101mph with 34t pinion and stock 50t spur But I'm wanting to try and pop another 2028 under the hood and go direct drive to the front and rear eliminating the center diff entirely. And maybe try for 16s but I can't get past the thought of Immediately blowing out the rear diff or either diff for that matter.
What do you guys think about it. Is it just madness ? or am I just dreaming????lmao thanks not really sure what exactly I'm asking for here maybe just pointers on the build

How do you figure you went 101mph with that setup?

Solid rear axel on that truck? That's a new one for sure! That is the motor I planned on using if I ever picked up mine, I decided not to. I'd go MMX8S though. You should look into the @PPS-RC mount, it will/should allow for more pinion to be used.

His mount may not be as "Polished" as mine, but it looks like it's getting the job done! Kudos for putting in the elbow grease!

As for the solid axle, there are differential locker inserts available which replace the gears inside the diffs. Something like this.

There are also spools available for the center diff.

Good luck with your build!

I was thinking "solid rear axle option" how about a UDR rear end..???

Should be nice and light

Get some spools for front and rear. You don’t need diffs at all.

Honestly the speed is only as accurate As the app on my phone...and for the motor mount I only roughed that in to fit that 34t pinion. I switched out the stock tires for belted street tires plugged in 2 8500mah 50c batteries and thats how it preformed.

Thank you I think this is what I'm looking for.

It’s mathematically impossible for a 800kv motor on 8s (34/50T -4.3ratio diff) to run over 100mph unless you were running tires with a diameter of approximately 10 inches. You may be able to get close to 100mph on 12s but not 8s.

70mph should be to most you’d see with any tire less and 170mm diameter

I almost feel like at that point it would just be for show. The weight of those motors for that platform would be ridiculous. Would be a cool build to see tho ?? So have at it. I’ll watch

As I said it's only as accurate as an App on my phone. I don't know how to factor any of that stuff in quite frankly I wouldn't be surprised if it was wrong.

That's kind of what I was hoping would help keep it on the ground and make it easier to break a few ankles
