Hi All,
Here are links to all the images/albums (and some more) in this thread
This will be my build thread around my Kraton EXB 1/8 but it will start of as bit of a rant
I bought the EXB two weeks ago and i f***** it up pretty much from day one. To start off it inherited the Electronics from my Felony (Spektrum Smart ESC150A, SPEKTRUM FIRMA 4074). After about 20 minutes into my first bashing session i broke the shock shaft of my right front shock.
Some spares are hard to come by in europe especially in Switzerland so i decided, while the shock shafts and cups are on their way from oversees i'll fit the front shocks from my Reely Raptor to go and do some bashing today.
Blue fits the red ... NOT!
While i'm at it i also wanted to change the bushings from the steering rack into ball bearings and fit a smaller pinion. That was the plan.
which worked rather well.
The mess started when i tried to take off the motor to install the smaller pinion
Screw Head round, no way to loosen this screw so i have to take off the whole motormount.
Aaaaaaaannnnndddddddd ... i managed to fiddlestick up the next screw. So i directly drilled that one out.
Since i was mad as hell already... messing up the pinion screw and the motor shaft rounded up (sorry for the pun) my day
Now here i am beautiful day outside, three of three RCs down, spares ordered: eta three to four weeks. I'm going to bed. Good night.
