I thought you had something 6sKraton is sold and on its way to its new home. Not sure how much more I will contribute to this sub-forum, I am currently Arrma-less, which probably means I need to get a Kraton 8S or something!
So get one, so you can stop being sad.sadly no
Bended first meh landing lolJust get the HR one. I've run a BLX185 motor one of those and never bent it.
Bended first meh landing lol
Became a banana
It's not like you can return it, lol. Avoid coming down straight on the nose and you'll be fine.The last few post here make me worry about my 4s purchase, lol
No dude was a 5-6 foot landing on the nose with a tbone bumperThat's rough. Must have been one hell of a sh!tty landing. Go with a 3s. They are more forgiving.
Also acording to the arrma specs for the 3s motor and 4s motorFinal thoughts on why I think the Kraton has some fundamental problems hopefully they can address. Main problem is that it's basically the same as the 3S, which is basically the same as the Mega.
1. Stock motor plate worked fine on the 3S, but the cast aluminum plate housed in a plastic mount that is simply pressed into the chassis is too weak for the bigger, heavier, 4S motor. Worked fine with the lighter 3S motor, but there's too much flex and leverage in the 4S truck.
2. Plastic center driveshaft is a carryover from the 3S and might even be the same as the Mega? Needs a metal driveshaft, they probably found it too hard or expensive to make one fit in the chassis.
3. Plastic arms have the same mount as the Mega. Same size hingepins and same width mounting point, but really needs a wider mount for the longer arms that have more leverage. But because they stick with the same Mega chassis, there's no way to mount thicker or wider arms on there in the same space.
4. Top brace is kind of stupid. It has a rubber shock absorber on the front, but one crash and it gets jammed to be ineffectual unless you take it off and try to extend it again. A better design might work but the plastic parts aren't really that strong.
I like having an adjustable motor mount but it's your call. I don't think it's as big of an issue and it's being made out to be. @Surchaufeur has broken his 4S more than I've ever seen a person break an RC ever. Either he got a lemon or is the worst driver in the world.should I get a new motor mount on the way to me and swap out if or when mine starts giving me issues? if so, which one?
You already have the blx motor mount the one who was almost impossible to get the last couple of monthsshould I get a new motor mount on the way to me and swap out if or when mine starts giving me issues? if so, which one?
Woah woah woah buddy! Pump the brakes! Not so fast on the worst driver in the world talk. Something that bold must be defended with facts. ????????well i am the worst driver in the world, lol.
I will see some breaks.
When I get my rig im going to start a thread of my own where I can post breakages and and questions and advice.
If all the deliveries are on time, i should be able to drive by wednesday.
But one question I have that might set this back a day or two is about a jumper I saw mentioned somehwere.
If I plan on running the Kraton on 1 3s or 1 4s pack, do these come with a jumper that needs to plug in to the empty ecs battery plug?
