Kraton Why baby Jesus why. I just wanna go fast

[NastyNate]

I'm bashing the Kraton very hard.

Waiting on parts to fix my mistress.

It is holding up sweet... I cant believe she loves getting railed this hard.

After double backflip, landed. Rough terrain.

She keeps popping out the passenger side dogbone.

No washers, droop screws set, bla bla. I am sending her hard though.

3.8 trenchers may be the issue. I got LPs coming but in the meantime these are the shoes I got.

Let me know your thoughts.

I've had that issue too often on my V4 Kraton and it finally happened again yesterday. I'm gonna install Hot Racing blocks and see if it helps.
For me it happens on stock Copperhead 2 tires and yesterday on standard Backflips.
Pillar ball pulls straight through the steering block for me. Easy fix but happens now too often and I'm also hoping for the solution. I expect the HR blocks will help as it's one of their better upgrades

Hr hubs and zero washers fixed that issue for me. Used to happen every time I took it out.

RPM arms probably aren't helping the issue

Mine kept doin that until I straightened the Ackerman plate. That cured it ?‍

Guys,

Running HR blocks, and M2C Ackerman plate.

I think I'll shave the arms to push the axle into the cup deeper.

Arms are cheap! Give it a try and let us know how it works out for ya. ?

Ok.

Definitely RPM arms are the culprit. After using the SEARH button and researching this, the problem is the arms, ( they flex) and the trenchers I'm running - super heavy.

And I have lately been sending this thing ALOT farther, higher, ect, thanks to the inspiration from y'all ???

I know I know but trenchers is all I got right now, the new LP's will be here Monday.

So, what is the consensus? Throw the stock arms back on or throw on a new set of RPMs on? I have both.

I'm leaning towards back to stock...

I think RPM rears, and wing mount are the only products of theirs I will run.

I usually snap stock arms 5 min into jumping. Rpm arms and wing mount always ? I like the stock copperheads myself. Lots of grip and tons of air control with them.

After a bit of time, the RPM arms stretch/wear at the hinge pins that allows for a bit of extra slop. On my outcast, I removed the washers/shims and shaved 1mm or so off the ends of the arms. Haven't had the bone pop out in a very long time.

6S with trencher 3.8's that are wrapped with kevlar cord, RPM on all 4 corners. Stock axle carriers with titanium ackerman bar and carrier tips.

I trimmed down my RPM arms just slightly (~2 mm) to keep the dogbone further into the cup, no washers/spacers either.
Do it equally on upper and lower arm and don't overdo it.

So far so good.

This is the only situation where the rubbery RPM arms can cause grief. Try flipping sides with the arms, and continue to do it till they snap.

Having the same issue with the driveshaft coming out with stock arms. Gonna remove the washers and shims to see if that cures it. shaving the arms if that doesn't work. Good ideas guys!
