Kraton Ok here we go!

[N.Mango]

Congratulations on the engagement! Not sure if you’ll have time or where you are going in Washington but if you need an RC fix while here you might put the word out and see if we can accommodate you. I have lots of trucks so I could loan you something to abuse.

Wow super generous thank you!
I have two trips planned and this one will have me super busy but the next will be a bit more for play.
Thank you!

Thank you!

As long as it isn’t the first week of September I could still support the offer. Have a great first trip!

My Kraton...sitting in pieces no end in sight and now it looks like it'll be slinging snow instead of sand which is fine by me. Even with all that's going on I'm gonna try to get her done asap once we're settled in Washington. I think this already holds the record for longest build thread

I cant wait to see these bad boys throwing snow!

 

[Megafandrew]

Slinging snow is kind of fun if the temps arent too cold. I was thinking of making a specific rig for snow this next winter. Looking forward to see this one complete been following it from the start you might have the record for longest build haha

Congrats on your engagement also!

Yes this very well may be a record for longest build. hahaha
Hopefully it doesn't get too cold like you said. I keep hearing how people break plastic parts in the winter.

Careful in the cold the plastic becomes brittle it’s prob something you didn’t get in paradise

No we don't get cold enough to make plastics brittle but we have heat and humidity to keep you swamp assed soggy sacked all day.

(sorry! I had to)​

Recap of my build so far. I cant wait to get settled in at our new home so I can continue this forever build.


8s K6 EXB before things got outta hand.

Trimmed the body and widened her stance

Fortress Tires

Then came the teardown and polishing.

Test fitting everything. At this point still wasn't sure how I wanted her to look.

Picked a Talion body. Dig the low profile of the Talion

 

[N.Mango]

That's where I stand so far. I'm looking forward to starting this project back up
and getting more tips and tricks from my fellow members!

TBC...​

 

[N.Mango]

So she got pulled off the rack dust blown off and Typhon arms added. Front wheels/tires are tbd but I love how the arms are.
Got quite a bit still to do especially since I roached parts for the Typhon, and because my vision for her keeps changing.
Color hasn't changed and why would it with that badass wing mount thanks to @3d-rc.myshopify.com.

Polished parts will also need and extra polishing to get back to the bling.
Well here I am back on track...kind of. My budget will be my biggest hurdle as my wife is keeping an eye on my purchases lately and I don't blame her with all that's going on. Not in a hurry though as has already been show, haha
Anyway mahalo much to @Hammer Down and @3d-rc.myshopify.com who has helped with this build big time!

When all is said and done, I'm taking a pic like this but with snow flinging high!​

 

[Hammer Down]

Can’t wait to see it finished buddy!!

Gonna need a wheelie bar.

 

[N.Mango]

Can’t wait to see it finished buddy!!

Thanks my man!
Me too...I want her done in time for some snow action!
