Kraton Will a Kraton 4s body fit on a Bigrock 3s?

[Ginglehopper]

I want to get a new body for my bigrock/typhon build, and I'm liking the look of the Kraton 4s body.

The wheel base of the Kraton and the wheel base of the Bigrock are the same. 327mm, 12.87 inches. Which makes sense because they have the same chassis. I can get the Kraton body mounts if needed.

My question is, is the Kraton 4s body too wide? Will the tires (dboots katars) rub for any reason?

If anyone has a Kraton 4s, I would appreciate it a lot if I could get the width of the body in a few places. Center, smallest width, largest width, width at the wheel wells or whatever, etc.

Maybe i'm asking too much, but maybe, just maybe a picture of a Kraton 4s body on a Bigrock??

Thanks a lot!

Yes .. they are both lwb chassis.....

Just need the 4s body mounts..
Hmmm... Didn't think of the width.. I'll see if I can get a few measurements

Should fit, they use the same chassis

Okay, sweet! I already have the body mounts, I got them for my Typhon, but then changed it to a Senton.

Okay, thanks!

Thanks! That looks better than I expected. I'm planning on having @Ajag paint one for me.

Here is one I did up for my nephew. Running Hot Racing 17mm Hex adapters and Traxxas Maxx tires.

Love it! Just checked the price of the tires at Jenny's, only $60, I may have to pick some up sometime...

Thanks!

So if the 4s Kraton has the same size chassis as the Big Rock what is the point of the 4s line (except you can run it on 4s instead of 3s)??? This could be why Arrma haven't released a new version of the 4s because of the success of the 3 especially the Big Rock which by all accounts is very similar in statue to the 4s Kraton.

The K4S is wider, faster, and better in the air.

Ah yes from an RC driver's perspective. But from a marketing point of view maybe it becomes cluttered with the 3s and 4s being so similar. Especially when there are already 5 different 3s rigs to choose from.

It's $100 per S. So 3S is $300, 4S is $400.

6S is $600. Get it?

What about the Limitless, Kraton EXB, Mojave EXB, TLRT, etc…

EXB stands for EXTRA BUCKS. Limitless refers to how much money you will spend trying to go FAST.

That’ll Lose to a Real TLR.

Hey there. I’ve just found this thread as I’m keen to put a kraton 4s body on my BR.
Which body mounts do I need please ?

Here you are!

These say Typhon, but the Kraton uses them too. The shorter piece goes in the front, longer in the rear.

This is just a misc body post set. It'll work.

I did find typhon posts too when I did a search and assumed they were wrong. So, the links show two very different types of sets but I need to buy both, right ?
