UpliFT-RC - v3 KRATON 6s Monster Truck Build Log

[Uplift-RC]

Boom it's ALMOST completed w/ the hop-ups that I have installed on my 6s KRATON.
First thing, I installed the larger pinion that comes with your KRATON. The major thing that I could tell is when I upgraded the Servo from the Stock Arrma one. What a massive difference on this Monster Truck compared to the stock Servo along w/ Mitch's new M2c racing Goliath Chassis and the RPM A-arms, plus the GPM Racing Turnbuckles front and rear. I think I just need to install my new #M2c racing standoffs that I bought off Mitch and this truck is ready to be unleashed like a rocket ?????

New body update: I bought the Proline Dodge ram body for my #v3 KRATON and it fits like a glove as you can see from the LAST attachment! I used the following Tamiya colors for this body - 1st, I sprayed the - PS-59 DARK METALLIC BLUE and then the - PS-12 SILVER and then last I sprayed 3 coats of PS-55 FLAT CLEAR to give that flat look instead of that shinny look on the outside of the body! For reinforcement - I start off using drywall tape and do the enter inside of the car and then and speared it all over the inside of the body with a paint brush or you can use your fingers. I normally can get the job done with 2 - 3oz bottles of Shoe Goo and fiberglass it in sort of speak and then I let it dry overnight! Last thing I add is 3 layers of Flex Seal to the inside of the shell and I go super thick especially where the body mounts are since thats where the most damaged gets done from your shock towers and then let that dry overnight. After that you will have yourself a body that 100% more durable that a stock one ? ? ? ?

My new #M2CRACING #ARRMA 16mm ZRC Bleeder style Shock cap kit for my #v3 #KRATON! Also, I am installing them on my 6s stunt truck!

I ordered Mitch's #M2CRacing rear & front chassis braces so i can ditch the stock plastic ones to beef up my #KRATON a bit more!! I installed the rear one today but waiting on the front chassis brace to get back in stock. Anyways, this is what my KRATON looks like so far!
