Shock Kit for Kraton 6S EXB V2

[rcheli1]

Does ARRMA make a shock rebuild kit for the Shock Kit for Kraton 6S EXB V2? If not, what parts are typically needed when rebuilding the shocks?

Enjoying my Kraton!

I haven't been able to find a kit that has all the consumables so Im following.

ARAC7451 - lower orings
ARAC8972 - spacers, flanges, pistons
ARAC7415 - upper oring
ARAC8992 - bladder
ARAC3029 - upper ball
ARAC8965 - shock cap protector
ARAC8971 - lower end link + spring perch
(varies) - Rubber bootie
(???????) - Lower shock end ball

just change the oil if nothing is leaking I've not changed my o rings in my cars for years and there still fine

For what it’s worth the x-ring and Delrin bushings from the tlr typhon fit all other 6s shocks. The delrin is harder than the usual Arrma plastic and therefor it will help keep the shock rod straighter for longer. Mine always develop some side to side movement after the first couple runs.

Do you happen to have part numbers? Not lazy, asking for a friend..

Nevermind, I put in the “effort”.. $20 to rebuild, not bad. Still looking for a good alternative for the shock cap bushings. I refuse to pay what M2C is charging, LOL.

The M2C shock piston / o ring kit works well . Running it on my xl kraton with Fireteam springs .

Nice. I built a Kraton XL a while back. Initially had a RC Shredder body on it, fit wasn't great, but worked. It lost it's battle with physics earlier than I liked, so I took a grinder to a Mojo 6s EXB body and adjusted to fit. Not much left of the wheel wells these days, but in order to clear CH MT's I had to go quite aggressive. The shocks were always too soft though.. I just recently splurged on a set of FT (or BR, not sure, but they're the same) take-off shocks. Much better.

I did my last 6s set on my Talion with these. Nice! The X rings & POM, delrin bushings. They are a TLR Arrma part

Absolutely this. If I could recommend anything from m2c it would be the piston and shock cap kit. It’s one of the upgrades that have shown the most improvement for me.
