I recently found a great deal on a used Kraton, it's a v2 had only a dozen or so batteries ran through it and came with the following: (including all of the original parts)
Mamba Monster 2 ESC and motor
Spektrum DX4C receiver and radio
Savox servo
ProLine Trenchers
T-Bone front bumper and wheelie bar
Brand new Tekno orange springs
One 3s battery and various other parts, pinions and such.
All for $450.00
I did have an issue immediately and it leads into my question, the Mamba ESC burned out the first time running it. I swapped it and the motor for the stock BLX setup and everything has been fine. I found that I can get the Mamba ESC 'repaired' or exchanged through Castle direct for $80. Is there any benefit of the Castle setup over the BLX system? I do plan to replace the ESC, because, why not? I can pick up a rolling chassis and build another car with the extra parts, but if the Castle is a better system I'll swap it back. Thanks!
