Kraton Tall Side Guards

[Rcproponent]

Are there any kit-breakers operating in the UK? I'm in Canada so I'd rather find one in-country but it's unlikely. The UK is big enough that you may have such a thing.

Bad touch breakers? There is @Rons RC He’s on the vendor here..

I'm assuming it's this - "Tall Side Guards Outcast Z-AR320352" ?

Is there a similar one for the Kraton EXB that goes all the way to the rear section?

I believe all Kratons get the shorter side guards stock. They allow more debris to get into the chassis. Using Not/OC high side guards just helps keep dirt out better. ? The reason the noto/OC get taller side guards is because the OB/Noto bodies sit much higher off the chassis. The Kraton body sits much lower. Kraton body has lower dropping sides. That's how I see it at least. Makes sense.

They aren’t trying or make cents! They are trying to make dollars ??

Alsof like what you die with the steering plate and the red ? look Nice ?

I had wanted to brace the stock Kraton chassis at the rear where they tend to fold and twist. I found extra St Top plates in my bin and by trial and error while the chassis was bare, I found where the chassis tends to twist the most. It looks easier than it appears. The plate has to be precisely placed and chassis drilled with M4 hardware so whatever chassis flex or twist remains is balanced left/right. I put the Top plate where it keeps the chassis most rigid. So far no tweaks or bends. I want an M2C chassis when or if stock even bends. It's the original chassis and I cant seem to bend it. At least yet.?‍
Using CF sleeve over the stock T2T really helped a lot also IMHO.

Yep, there's one but it's limited stock.

This is on my EXB, you have to cut the rear side section because of the width of the motor..

It’s a custom mount. It’s a unicorn in these days, haha.

I ordered a couple of the fans found here. The move a crap ton of air, even on 6v.

I didn’t do the mounts or grills, just the fans so far. You will need some long M2 screws to attach them but so far I attached one with zip ties. ?‍

Well then, my bad... the m2c chassis must be different there. ? well I’ll be damned. Sorry guys ??‍ the oem chassis the side guards bolt up fine.. I had to dig a stock chassis out of the bins! I’ve been modding them for the m2c chassis so many times it was like yea that needs trimmed... well. No It doesn’t... ??

Can you post a pic with your mod for the M2C chassis?

 

[MrTJox1]

Just looked everything over and the ONLY mods may be to make room for the motor. Thinking about heating it up and molding.

Tuesday, I should be official.

Happy New Year people!

 

[MrTJox1]

Did have to make slight mods...I know, I'm not a dremel god, but I got 'er done!


May do some other side guards in the distant future!

Cool, glad you got it to fit. I’ve found that it’s almost easier to modify those plastic guards with a pair of sharp and pointy snips. Just gotta be careful not to stab yourself ??

Agreed. Good old tin snips work great.

These taller side guards fit the V5 Kraton as well I assume?

Yeah, the basic chassis have not changed much, and definitely not around the outside edge where the side guards attach.

JennysRC - side guards and a bag of other bits for a great price.

Thanks!

Where you get those braided wire covers? I need to pick up these OC side guards as well.
