As part of my 1st run preparation im replacing the droop screws with the Arrma double socket button head screws (AR727410) & wondered on the quickest/easiest way?. I'm assuming i'll have to fully remove the lower Arms? Or is there a quicker way? Any tips or advise would great! (Apologies for stupid question but this will be 1st time working on my Kraton!)
 
If it's the first time preparation i would go for a bulkhead removal, it's 5 screws for the back, 8 for the front. In addition for the access to the droop screws, you'll also have an opportunity to verify the gear mesh at the diffs.

It's quicker than removing the a-arms i think.
On the rear it's the 4 screws that hold the bulkhead to the chassis, plus 1 that connects it to the rear brace.
On the front it's 4 for the bulkhead, 2 for the steering rack, 1 for the brace and 1 for the servo arm linkage.

It varies a bit by model, but i think it should be it.
 
Yeah you have to remove the bottom A arms to thread them in from the bottom
Thanks ? assumed that was the case but thought it's worth asking anyway!. Will i get away with just taking hinge pin out & swinging Lower arm out to access underside or do top front arms have to come out also?

Thanks Yonic I'll have a look at that when I get to work on it! ?

Yep there won't be any need to remove the top arms, only the front lower hinge pin brace/bumper. @Yonic 's suggestion will work too and gives the opportunity to check the innards as well if you wanted to ?️
