Had my Kraton well over a year of some hard driving. But time after time, I seem to have more fun with my shorter wheelbase rigs (MT410, Sketer, Outcast, Typhon truggy), and the Kraton was due for a complete tear down and rebuild anyways. At least I have my diff building spot on....the three diffs that were in it have been going strong for about 8 months.
Found some minor issues during the build like bent hinge pin, some tie rod ends were stretched and warped, etc., so she will be like a new rig now. Had 3 diffs built as spares with aluminum cases and M2C drive cups, and a few other aluminum hinge pin holders that had not been installed yet, so they all went on. New front upper and lower arms also, old ones were getting a bit too much play in them.
So...is this just an Outcast now? Some may say so....but I say it is a SWB Kraton. Also put on some Backflip LPs.
