This will be my documentation thread for speed with the Kraton v4 6s (Blue)
I purchased this RC with specific intent to not turn it into a speed rig, and here I am…
Restrictions mostly as a challenge to myself:
#1 Retain the OEM body and look with exception wheels/tires & wing.
#2 Find limits of the OEM BLX system (both motor and esc)
#3 Run single 6s LiPo pack.
#4 Have fun and don’t pull too much funds away from my primary speed project.
Expectations are to find myself getting up to right around 100mph with the OEM BLX 185 system. (Should be fun to see just what it can do. )
Hopes if I could break 110mph on the factory electronics I would be very happy.
So Far I have reached 65.6 mph on a 100% original truck with the 15t optional speed gear installed. The only adjustment was spring pre-load and 500k diff fluid. I have been very impressed with this RC and imagine it will continue to impress me as I push into higher speeds.
Setup
GRP S3 (soft) speed tires (wish they made larger diameter sizes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
HR center diff spool
Revo 34t mod 1spur gear.
500k rear diff / original 30k front diff
TBR front bumper will likely need to come off although I like the added protection it provides.
