Arrma 6S tuning adjustments guide  

You are the man when it comes to explaining race tuning . Thanks!!

This video has been a complete game changer for me and my Arrmy! Thank you sooo much for making this video. Excellent!

Such an in depth look and description. I just got one of these, and your vid is top shelf! thank you!

This has to be one of the most educational video for this exb model yet... 🤜🤛

absolutely learned a lot!!! thank you. ive always wondered but could never find anyone to explain what all the different locations of shocks, etc. were and how it effects driving

Great video, people really need to understand these adjustments so they get the most out of their vehicle! 👍

Great video, thanks! I would love to see a video about setting ride height, shock preload and toe. It would also be good to show common handling problems and the adjustments that you should try to solve them.

I really appreciated this video, I already had the shocks, swaybar,caster/camber down but up till now hadn't understood or used the roll center or ackerman adjustments.Understanding all these makes rc's even more fun.Thx for sharing your racing knowledge.

Fantastic Video, its great to see CORRECT information delivered in an easy to understand way.

That's a great little tutorial and easy to understand. Thank you for explaining

Great info explained in a very relatable way. Thanks for sharing ✊

Dude you are the king of RC videos from a mechanical perspective. I probably owe you a beer.

Thanks for posting this!! Very informative video!! 😊

I didn’t know Durango had anything to do with Arrma. Thanks for always dropping some good info.

Thanks for the excellent info and presentation, also on the diff shimming-video for the Kraton. (Which I am currently building)

Thank you for this vid!! Awesome information.

Very good! Thanks for sharing your deep knowledge about setting up a rig. This can help a lot, thanks for sharing! 😘😘

Thanks for doing this video!

Dude, you sound a lot like “RJ the bike guy”! Both of you explain things awesome! Great video !

Thanks for the explanation sir. Great educational video.

Thanks man I forgot about that and couldn’t figure it out, thanks

Well I learned a lot from this video for sure , not sure I'm gonna mess with any of it on my kraton, but I deff understand it better

Haha I use the same green yoga block for several different purposes. Great video thanks for sharing!

This is a very nice video about tuning. Thanks

Sweet! Love the explanation 👍👍

Extremely informative. Thanks!

I think running shocks on the outer hole on the arm helps with better stability also. More support further out on the arm.

Very informative video , and awesome unit.... TFS!

This is why the kraton is my favorite basher. So much to tune.

One clarification about shock location, though. People often say that laying the shock down softens the suspension. While this is true, it only applies to changing the mounting location on the *shock tower*. When laying the shock down on the *suspension arm*, the opposite is true - the suspension gets stiffer because the leverage of the spring on the arms increases as the arm moves upwards. To make it easier to remember, any time you move the shock mounting location inwards, on the tower or the arm, the suspension will be softer.

I believe that outer hole on the a arms is actually to allow for those beefy arms to be compatible with the V4 shock tower. So if version four owners want to upgrade to those arms they could. They would have to pick up other things though to make it all work out. For instance they would have to switch from the V4 swaybar to the V5 sway bar

Great info and well done thanks

Great informative Vid 👌

Perfect video💯💯 Thank you

At 3:00 the It looks like an Arrma Transformer..lol I just love this design by Arrma. The chassis looks like its staring at you!

GREAT INFO RAZOR. 👍 THANKS BRO... 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

Very helpful video thank you

Absolutely beautiful rig. Right up my alley. I am so tempted to snag one of these!

Can’t wait to get mine! Hobbywing 2200Kv

Ok, one thing about roll center. Always think of roll centre as applying to the inner ball stud location. If you raise the inner ball stud, you raise/increase the traction (lower roll center) and, similarly, if you lower the inner ball stud, you lower/decrease the traction (higher roll center). Therefore, the opposite is true when adjusting the outer ball stud (at the hub) - if you raise this ball stud you decrease traction (you are effectively lowering the inner ball stud) and if you lower the outer ball stud, you increase traction (you are effectively raising the inner ball stud). Again, just trying to clarify, no offense intended to Razor RC 👍

great video and explanation

Learned a lot...ty vm

Interesting. Must be something in the setup, because I dont really hear of anyone else complaining about this. However, that is exactly what happened when I put stupid power in my Tamiya TT-02. Hit WOT and it would just spin out. I always assumed it was diffing out left-right.

Hi, thank u for this informativ Video. May i ask : what Front bumper did u Install? Thx ;-)

I always wondered what the extra holes in the steering plate did.

I changed the plastic steering knuckles to aluminum on my notorious and get better steering, when u screw the cap back on into the plastic one it can get massed up and mess with ya steering

Excellent video, should travel be equal front to back ? Should A arms be parallel with the chassis or is higher ride height ok for a kraton. ? Ride height is achieved with spring preload? Thx for the video !

Nice thanks help so much

Very detailed 👌🏻subbed

Excellent!

My droop was set a bit low. Didn’t check before running. Both rear shocks destroyed first run. No big jumps just fast over uneven ground. Adjusted band hasnt happened again. I’ve got extras not though just in case.

I happen to have a crooked left wheel and don’t know how to straighten it out, I don’t know if the servo could be failing but when I try to go straight, on it’s own it starts turning right, even after numerous calibrations

I have a Question My DriveShaft Keeps Popping Out Out the Cup in the Front Right Side How Would I Go About Fixing

I want to setup my kraton 6s v5 for street bashing. Do I just lower the ride height thru the droop screws and removing preload on shocks? Or should I adjust shock position as well? I want to do some on-road speed bashes with it. Running it with a 17t and slightly smaller 5inch tall street wheels :)

Hi, I'm a newbie, I just bought my exb and had my first bad jump and dis-aligned the rear shock tower, and when I disassembled it to fix there's a crack a threaded, my question is how to avoid that and is there any parts that more durable, I think it's a gear box case

How much suspension travel does the kraton 6s have? I can’t find that advertised anywhere.

Hi Razor RC, I have bought some kraton 6s shocks to go on my 3s granite. It looks like the springs rub a lot on the shock body and there is a small play side to side from the shock shaft in the shock body. Do you know if I can sort these issue out at all? Appreciate any ideas in advance

Curious if you still have Kraton and what diff weights you ever went to?

Can you adjust the toe? I dont think I heard you mention it.

where do you get those clips for adjusting camber? is it a arrma part?

Keep up the good vids

Very new to this what does EXB stand for?

LOOKING TO BUY A NEW 6s EXB I SPOKE TO HORIZON WAS ADVISED THAT ALL THE NEW SHIPMENTS HAVE BEEN UPDATED REGARDING SHIMS TO REARS....BUT THERES NO WAY OF IDENTIFYING THE NEW UPDATED VERSIONS WHICH IS BAD BEC NOBODY WANTS TO SPEND MONEY ON A CAR THATS NEEDS REPAIRS BEFORE U DRIVE IT.....ANY RELIABLE PLACES U GUYS RECOMMEND THAT HAVE UPDATED NEW INVENTORY ON EXBs

Another RU-vid mentioned that he replaced the shock end cap 3 times before he realized there was a droop adjustment and made it so the shock couldn't bottom out

Can that front bumper fit on notorious 6s v5 blx ?

* Stiffering the sway bars will reduce the roll in turns... Less tilt while cornering...

The sway bars help the car stay flat instead of dipping side to side when cornering. Thats why its called a "sway" bar (or more correctly an anti-sway bar). The stiffer the sway bar the more level the cornering as the spring resists any movement from the suspension that is not equal on both sides. This may just be another way to say what you said here but I was not able to understand that from the words used.

Is the bearings of these exb same as the v4 ?

I have a 4s kraton 110 2400kv Motor 120 ADS SERVO. And the Rest that came with the 4S 2020 kraton its stocked though 13 Tooth pinion gear mah5000 14.8 battery 50c battery mah5000 14 .8 great Truck Overall but slipper Clutch keeps Coming loose so i put loctite blue medium strength on my slipper Clutch snd just waiting for a part for my input GEAR that melted very hard to see THE Owner of hobby shop spotted it thank god but he has to order it should be there by Next week hopefully WITH All this Covid who knows but Iam getting steel GEARS put in the spring maybe shim THE GEARS to Anyways very inspiring video thank you for showing it 👍

Takk!

How come your mud flaps are tucked in?

Learn so much my head hurts

Awesome Intel inside Razor🤔 my Q is can we use the theory here to apply to another model say talion or typhon 6s tho🏁😎 thank you either way Razor,

Anybody else sees a robotic 3CPO style face with elf ears on the car? The top of the shock towers being it’s eyes 😆

Does the motor spin CW or CCW? I’m installing a new power plant and idk if they judge it looking at the motor or from the motor perspective

Nice rig brother!! Is it the Hobby Wing MAX6 ESC w/ a V3 Sensorless Brushless (1650kV) motor?

Just got my EXB and on my first time running it the front left dog bone kept popping out! 🤷🏽‍♂️ I have the Kraton 6s BLX and that never happened to me. It happens occasionally on my outcast 6s. Do you know of a fix for that?? I was was kinda bummed it happened on a brand new Kraton EXB. Thanks

Are there no toe block inserts?

Where would I be without you?

👌👍

I can not believe you didn't mention anything about toe or spring pre load adjustment. Unbelievable!

🤦🏽sway bars literally doing exactly what this description say they are. You also can achieve stiffness I just rotating the screw on the shocks. Changing the shock location does change that behavior but also changes the geometry. If the shocks are changed from their original location Camber and toe we'll have to be adjusted as well. To achieve a stiffer or softer ride you can do so by just loosening or tightening the screw that is on the shock or changing the shock fluid

👍👀🇭🇷

The dislikes are traxxas fan boys

Good video but completely wrong on the sway bar info. A smaller sway bar makes your front kinda loose and thicker makes it stiffer and what the sway bar does is when the one tire comes up in the corner it pushes the other tire into the turn

Please help me the owner of shop pulled the battery out of the bottom loop I cannot get it back in it seems impossible.
