Big Rock Pulled the trigger

[Big-D]

So I broke down and bought a new BR-6S today. Pretty stoked lol. Need to order a couple 6s batteries tonight. Just realized my charger does do 6s so...

Wanna do the light kit and dust cover (anyone have part #'s)?

Anything else that needs to be done to this beast for reliability or fun factor?

Congrats on the new addition, and welcome to the forum.

Check the diff fluid levels first. Enjoy.

Welcome @Big-D! That looks awesome congrats!

Congrats!

Look for Large open field to let it stretch its legs..
It's going to put a BIG smile on your face.

Welcome! Probably my favorite looking 6S. Congratulations!

 

[RCbuzz]

Congrats and welcome. That has to be my favorite body to date. Most arrma bodies are pretty cool imo!

I would also make sure the firmware is up to date on the Firma 150v2 and reduce the timing way down.

Check diff levels, gear mesh, shims, the usual

Nice!
I’m patiently waiting for my LHS to call me when the white one I ordered arrives.

Any interest in the new Kraton 6s. To be honest I have both and the Kraton has better parts and they are the same price.

Im not saying the Big Rock is bad. Just that if I knew the new Kraton was coming I would have waited the couple of weeks for that. Here is a youtube video discussing it:

Kinda partial to the grey. I did look hard at the red for a minute.

I’m not a huge fan of he Kraton. I think the Big Rock will suit my driving / bashing needs.

Be sure to at least check out the Kraton 6S EXB V2. Might be the most impressive K6 I have seen to date.

Agree through the Big Rock 6s looks like

Ok I'm having a brain fart here. I'm looking for leads for my charger to do ec5 connectors. In my mind you would need a female end on charger to go to male end on battery. But everything I see on-line have male ends. Or do I have it backwards.

 

[Big-D]

Never mind, I figured it out.

Congrats.
I think its a good idea to use Alloy Front and rear Braces first thing out the box. Maybe consider a Better radio and servo for sure.
You can probably do all that for about $150. if you shop smart.
RL RC4GS is a great radio, about $60. A DS3235 AMZ 35kg servo. $34.
Get your diff oils and shimming in order.
F60k./C500k/R30k cst diff oils.
A good motor fan solution is a given at some point.
Enjoy.

EXB diff housings, better tires would be my first upgrades. And update the firmware if it's not up to date.
