Kraton V5 vs. EXB handling.

[AlbaRC]

So, I'm rocking the V5 Kraton and it's an epic rig, love it but my son has the EXB and the handling seems way better. Most noticeably when cornering. My V5 seems to have quite a loose back end when running on gravel/loose surfaces whereas the EXB is much more planted. Is this down to the LSDs? Or is there something else that could be doing this?

My EXB handles better than my brothers regular Kraton too, maybe it’s the premium parts?

Possibly. Would be good to know for sure, then I could make adjustments or upgrade. Must be something to do with the drivetrain, suspension parts are all identical.

I wouldn't really stress it though since it's just bashers running around the desert haha Try adding some backflip LP's and a hot racing bellcrank to it

The LSDs allow you to have more predictable control.

It's the predictability I'm interested in, especially lining up for a high speed send, launching sideways is never pretty haha
