[TyroneRich]

What type of roof rails are you guys using for the Kraton 6s ??

I was using the universal roof skids from rpm and they worked great on top of the Kraton. I switched over to using a full roll cage recently though.

What do roof skids do btw?

A lot of people are printing their own. Several STL files on Thingiverse for roof skids.

Using Mojave roof rails. Just to find the screws and nuts to attach them.

Save the body from scratches and damage when you flip it. Especially useful on concrete and such.

How are they attached underneath? I'm concerned that without a suitable plate behind, they might just rip a hole in the roof if they only have a nut.

I got 5mm screws from HD plus flat washers and locknuts. If you get them mounted flushed there's no chance it will rip out, it will just slide.

This looks just like mine, but they don't do much anymore with the roll cage over them.... lol

I run a set from @Camaroboy383 they work great

I bought a set of Pro-line body skids PRO636000 (~$20) for my rigs, it comes with different sizes and enough to do 2 of my trucks. Worth considering.

Thanks Daywalker, that looks pretty cool, I'm thinking that could be 3d printed pretty easy. Or something similar.

I made my own. 3d printed out of nylon and carbon fiber. Works great, long wear resistance.

That's the go, I have thought a few times.... what if you put monster truck wheels on the kraton or talion and the body would never get touched it would be all tyres all the time. Gearing obviously would need adjusting, I wonder.........
