I hope this means that Jenny will be sending me some email notifications.

If you drive like a dill weed or like me a spare set of rear a-arms and a spare wing mount would be a good thing. The new EXB is a pretty solid truck.

Congratulations on the new rig. I'm sure it was worth the wait! Those exb's are some serious trucks in stock form

 

[Johnny b]

This stuff for sure!...J/K. You bought a great rig. Enjoy!

 

[332_RC]

Congratulations! Probably doesn't need much. Solid rig. Keep an eye on your outdrives. Some folks have had issues with them breaking.

I've bent a couple driveshafts, and get you a 3d printed wing mount. Other than that, it's as solid as they come.

Stock up on bearings.

Depending on how you’re going to run it, I would suggest putting bump stops in the bottom of the front shocks. This will keep you from breaking out drives 1/16 or even a quarter inch piece of fuel tubing at the very bottom of the shock rod. Other than that mine has been rock-solid. I did up the pinion gear to 15 tooth. The next thing you’ll need is time a good place and batteries.

Nothing.

Bash it as is. Your style will emerge, and you will see what is needed, if any. None of us bash the same; this list is more personal.

Enjoy

Congrats on the EXB. That’s a great truck.

I agree with @parcou. Just run it how you run it and see what breaks or wears out.

Wheels nuts were a thing for me. They seem to loosen up no matter how tight I tighten them.

And I just blew up a center diff…but parts are easy to get so just have fun.

Do you have any pictures of this? Or is there a discussion somewhere? I broke a front outdrive 10 minutes into owning my EXB presumably due to too much up travel and am looking for solutions.

Welcome to the forum
I do not have a pic here at work, but I will take one when I get home. This happen to me 3 times before I got it figured out.
you just need to pull the bottom of the shock out of the A-arm then pull the rod end off then put the tube on and reinstall.

I just got on this train! I think a lot of my RCs end up being a spur of the moment decision. I saw the deal in the classifieds and I started reading a little and now I'm worried I bought a truck truck too big for my usual running areas-lol. And then I read about the Corrally Kagama and now I'm worried I should have gotten a different truck!

A Kraton is a very versatile truck. My advice is Google your location plus "dirtpark", "pump track", "skatepark", and "BMX track", and see what's available. Also search your neighboring cities. There are 5 dirt parks and 3 skateparks with a fourth under construction within 30 minutes of my house. An hours drive there's a racetrack. Do the search and see what you got to work with.

I do know of a few. I read somewhere that skate parks are pretty rough on RC trucks? I never tried though. I will do a google too to see what else there is!
