Kraton Kraton mess

[loots66]

Well I have some broken parts on my Kraton 6s and require a fix or an upgrade. Among the carnage is a broken shock bent frame a couple of missing screws and broken rear center brace along with a broken gearbox.

As part of my quarantine I have decided to rebuild replace and upgrade some of the broken parts. I ordered all of the necessary screws along with the set of eBay big bore shocks. Im in need of a new body since the stock one is toast.

My son and I just rebuilt the Outcast and fixed the broken parts. We are waiting on a couple of small things. We used flex seal to coat the underside of the body and added some lights for fun.

Thinking I need to add some lights eventually! Especially in the dark winter months

Unfortunately, I didn't to any research when I purchased the Big Bore Shocks. Anyway from what I've read they suck while other have decent comments. Oh well, I'm gonna find out on my own.

I’ve heard the suck.

They are assembled dry so make sure you put oil in them

And yes they suck, I’ve got a set

My wife loves her kitchen table, here is my current situation. Oh well she’ll get over it.

i’m straightened out the frame now I’m beginning to reassemble the front suspension gearbox. When I broke this section down I discover I was missing a bearing.
I nearly forgot, regarding the big bore shocks. I’ll be drilling another hole in the piston and switching springs for the stockers.

Good looking rig! Well done guys.

Can I ask how the street tires perform when offroad (gravel, dirt, etc.)? I typically use badlands or trenchers, but lately have been driving on my street most of the time. Are you still able to do the occasional off-road run?

Thanks!

Order all m2c racing parts and you will have a tank. Rpm arms, hot racing hubs and a good bearings set and she will be almost bulletproof
