I have finally finished my project, it has taken me a while to collect everything needed, but I'm impressed with the outcome and ready to show it off....
A mix of m2c and crcu. A painted body I did myself. First ever sprayed body!
Soldered new connection!
Built my own 12v fans and connections.
It's running with a max 6 combo.
The suspension is from a fireteam.

Hi, I ordered the centre drive shafts from m2c. I think you need 1 mojave front shaft and the front kraton on for the rear.
Rear mojave and front kraton are the same. The front mojave shaft is the longest.

Really appreciate the help,will post 📸 after done
 
I'm looking to something very similar with my Kraton 6s. Now was that conversion from an EXB or an RTR? I currently have the v5 RTR (Kraton) and was looking to do the Mojave chassis conversion as well.

Any idea of that shell you have would fit with the v5 RTR suspension and body mounts?

To be honest it was really made up from breakers, it's all new gear, front and rear drive was from a new kraton exb along with centre diff. The rest I got from m2c and crcu. I wasnt planning on using much from a kraton exb. So decided to buy the parts I wanted. I did have alot of spares from my other two cars. Outcast exb and a notorious v5.

The shell I used was a hpi savage xl but if you search through the forum you can see others.

I wanted the fire teams black shocks and motor mount, so stuff like that was cheaper to build from scratch than buy a kraton exb then modify to a xl. Lots of wasnt parts.

max 6 combo... Which motor? My biggest Bad Wolf needs a ESC and Motor upgrade badly.
 
If ya zoom waaaay in the 3rd pic you can see it's a 4985 1650kv, or @ least it was
I believe I read here that a 4985 WILL fit in a stock 6s BLX motor mount for a Typhon, FireTeam, etc. Is that correct?

Yes, you might have to loosen a few screws of the side guard and push it to the side to slide the motor in easier...but once in it fits perfectly.
