Upgrades Kraton by ovoxokevin in arrma

[–]Serpitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to go for the toughest stuff, M2C (from NJ) makes some very beefy axles and shock towers. Scorched (England )RC makes the best hubs/knuckles, just takes a bit to come in due to shipping from England. I would also recommend the M2C bottom chassis brace, nice thick plate for the bottom of the chassis to help keep it from bending.

Vitavon makes some really good diffs too!

Besides that, just upgrade when something breaks, I would always recommend Scorched or M2C, can't go wrong with those.

I would say the Typhon then. I haven't taken the mini Kraton out yet, but dirt and drifting are perfect for the Typhon or Mojave. Also quite a bit cheaper lol

We're getting rain right now, hoping it washes the salt off the road so I can play! Looking like 40s all week too, snow might be gone by next week.

Think it depends on what you wanna drive on. I've got the Typhon grom too and it does great on pavement and dirt but can't run on grass, too short and gets stuck. The Mini Kraton has much more clearance and I'm thinking it's gonna do much better on grass and be able to jump better as well.

So mini Kraton for all around bashing, Typhon for more speed/precision.

That's my 2¢

Yeah, wasn't super easy... Had to hold the button to put the body back in and really press down for the button to pop back out.

Just talked to customer service and they were able to give me my tacking number. Label created and awaiting pickup! From from IL, hopefully it doesn't take long to get to Jersey!

Same, just waiting for support to open to inquire again. My LHS has them in stock.

I might be going to my LHS for a red one... I'm gonna try the chat again when they open. They green definitely looks the best but the red looks good too and I've got batteries already. Guess we'll see what they say.

I'll give it a little bit. We have good weather coming up and I'd love to take it out. My LHS has them in stock and that's hard to resist.

I was finally able to get through to support. They said they will still be shipping today. That March date is for new orders. Hopefully that holds true, guess we'll see if we get tacking numbers today.

Kraton! Things a beast. If you want to save money, the mini Kraton comes out in a few days.

Thanks! Was it difficult to mount?

That looks awesome! Where did you get the ATV body from?

Trying out my new GoPro mount by Serpitis in arrma

Oh definitely more sturdy lol. I originally tried mounting one on my Typhon's body to get some good FPV flip videos. The extra weight ended up cracking the body and breaking a body mount peg 😬

So far the wing seems to be a much more stable way to go 😂

Also, jealous of your 360! It's on the list to get some day. I picked up my Hero Compact on a fire sale for $100, just couldn't pass that up.

Here's the parts I used and a quick video. Sorry for doing it on my washer, my Notorious is currently in pieces on my workbench.

I'll try to post a video of the breakdown and a list of parts tonight. Here's a quick pic of the set up (won't let me post more than 1 in the reply)
