I'm planning on trying it with the Outcast soon, just think keeping the nose down might mean turning the punch down from 9....Lol!!! I'm just glad the sun was out. Working next 4 days and more rain this weekend I think. Sure happy to have the Kraton Beast back!!!
Thanks Vanning, went too long without the Kraton up, never again. Did get my son's Outcast finally finished though with proper truck body and tower to tower brace. Just needs some Backflips on it.
Va-jeeper, that's funny bro! You're probably right about the punch, steering is overrated, that's why I'm still bashing stock servos...Lol. I'll make sure to test it far away from trees and poles....
I've heard good things about Reeper motors, especially for the price, let us know how that works out.
Thanks Vanning, appreciate it. The foam block was one thought, may still do it like with Axis brace for Slash I think. Was planning to modify stock Kraton body support to support roof from cave in, possibly extend foam off of it. My tower brace tunnels through it as is. Open to all ideas for sure. Simple and effective is my goal. I'll post pics of whatever I decide to go with. Ohhhh, just saw it through the window, thanks for the pic, that's more or less what I was thinking of, firm/padded top support. Nice!
Don't have the Axis brace, but do have a heavily modded Backslash that rips with MIP shafts, Revo slipper and mod 1 spur. Running 18/40 gearing with CC Sidewinder 8th 2200kv, mostly 4s, sometimes 6s, but it gets ridiculous. Thing is crazy fast and very durable since taking most of the Traxxas out of it with RPM arms, Tekno big bone...Etc. I've launched it big-time off the ramps.
Just read the rest of your post, thanks again Vanning, I too like the classic truck look. You just reminded me that I never upgraded my Slash diffs. I had thought about it for quite a while, but had already dumped so much bread into it. This is the 3rd carnation of this rig. Leaving it as a Backslash, way lighter and better jumping with 17 hex buggy wheels. My kids are doing 3s with their modded ECX Ruckuses. They really like bashing the Arrmas more now...Lol. I actually like driving their 2wd on 3s, but Dad's happy bashing anything!!!
My Backflips are holding up well vented with 50k front, 200k center diff fluid. Hope your next tires hold up better. Were they taped or premounts?
I have a set too, but bought tires with 3.8 Desperados and taped with one rap of 2" Gorilla tape. So far doing well with no ballooning. Also vented them and plugged rim holes to keep water out. Proline makes great tires, just balloon a lot on big power. Glad you noticed the power difference with Nero motor, albeit in less than ideal way. Sometimes you don't know until you try.
