Kraton New Kraton's first blood

[ShadyD]

Well, the new Kraton flew a LOT farther off the jump than I thought it would, went OVER a retaining wall and landed on the roof. First of many parts I'm sure I will have to replace.

Also cracked the hard case on my new Zeee battery.

Dang, I just looked through that post, that's a slamming find! Worst case, it's a fun tinker project for a while.

Check out JennysRC.com to get your OEM parts cheap.
Just a heads up though.. their shipping can be a bit much ,so try to bundle up your parts in one go..

I already ordered a HotRC alloy replacement. Haven't installed yet, but given the force this area takes when it hits the roof, I figured alloy way a goo way to go.

It didn’t break the cage at all? Must have been a poor injection setup parameter or void in the mold.

The cage didn't break, but it did pop 2 screws out, so it basically collapsed under the impact.

New diff cover in place. Cleaned the diff and replaced the fluid while I was at it.
