That is, by far, the best looking Kraton I have EVER seen. And, as a fellow Melbournian, I feel your pain about this awful weather - every bash spot is soaked at the moment!
Looks sweet! Love the Proline Trenchers on there. The diffs on my Arrma Granite are built the same way. I actually shredded them with a 5700kv system on 3s
Great episode. I have been wanting to change the oil in mine for some time, but I have only had crawlers before this that don't use oil in the diffs. Can't wait for the running video.
I like it you did a great job on it all very impressive Vas, now I'm looking forward to watching just how hard the Kraton goes now with it's upgrades thanks for sharing I enjoyed that RC Pit-Stop episode 2 thumbs up !!
Nice job Vas! I sure do enjoy your channel and I love the Kraton....I got mine after watching your videos and it qwickly became my favorite basher of all time! I sold my e-revo and after some tweaks and upgrades the Kraton is a absolute beast! I am selling a steering bearing upgrade now for the Kraton and typhon for 7.00 US it really helps smooth out the steering between that and shiming the A-arms my Kraton turns on a dime now instead of needing a 40 acre field to turn around in...lol
Craig Schofield Thank you for the kind words, Craig. Glad you're enjoying the Kraton, it's certainly an awesome RC. Thanks for stopping by, buddy, always nice to hear from you. :)
Wow, it sure looks awesome in that red color. In the future when it's time for a new body i will make a red one as well. I got a white wing now, the black ones are out of stock. And i think that would match perfectly. Great job with that beast! 👍👌🚗😁
Thanks for this Vas. I'm yet to do exactly the same electronics swap in my Typhon and this has helped me get motivated to do it finally. Would be interested to find out if the 500,000 weight oil is thick enough for better rear to front power distribution. Looking forward to the bashing vid!!
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
hey Vas nice job...i have the Talion and i'm also not Italian..anyway i may use 100,000 wt in the center dif and 60,000 on the ends.do you think that would improve performance mate.
Hi Vas First time commenter, long time watcher. Well done. It looks and sounds like it should be be fantastic. I love and commented basically because of the rebuild and repaint etc. is what i love about RC. You always have a great segment but double thumbs up because of upgrades. As a fellow Aussie your info is very relevant to me keep up the good work Garszy
Just curious...do you still think the tower to tower brace is unnecessary if you upgrade to metal brackets on both sides of the chassis? Also, will you be reviewing the Kraton EXB? I’m interested in buying a Kraton but am somewhat concerned about the chassis durability.
great video as always Vas. I did have a question for you, I am having trouble fitting my Rx for my 4pls into that super tiny Rx box. How did you get that thing in there? Also just a FYI the Nitro Circus MT uses the same size springs as the kraton. I had the optional spring set from HK laying around and I think so far they are the best alternative. I'm running the Red Springs in the back and Black in the front. Lastly, I know you love experimenting with different tires, I've found the Losi 420s and ATX tires to be my goto all around bashing wheel tire combo.
Great review can't wait to hear how the test run goes . I still have the stock motor so far so good , I have watched all your vids on the Kraton what would you say is the best pinion to run? Also what are you going to run with the new motor and big tires ? I have the same tires as well .. Thanks
Hey Vas! Question: I just got my new Kraton today, and I'm noticing that from a dead spot there seems to be some hesitation when i floor the throttle. i'll get a split second of throttle, nothing, then it roars and takes off. like I_________I. When already moving she seems to have no issue responding immediately to throttle however! Did you experience this phenomenon with any of your ARRMA's with the BLX system? I believe mine is the updated system with the newer ESC.
Hey Vas, I would also like to change the standard Arrma motor for a leopard 4082 motor, but I can't deceide to go for the 1600kv or 2000kv motor. My standard Arrma motor runs really hot on 6s. I would like to bring down the temperature quite a bit, but ofcourse I don't want to lose power. Some people say that the 2000kv motor is too much for 6s, and I should go for 1600kv. How is the motor temperature with this setup on 6s? Does it run cooler than the 2050kv standard Arrma motor?
+Aussie RC Playground I didn't know they were so hard to come by... that's a shame. maybe kyosho will gift you one to test for us lol anyhow great videos as per usual!
you're my Favorite channel to watch! always Good Builds,Bashing and Great Info!! i learn something new every time i watch!! keep up the GREAT WORK!! im Hoping you do a 1/5 review someday?!
Very nice work,cant wait to see you bash it...And i hope to see you bash the shit out of a 1/5 on that bmx track 😊 You are nr1 on youtube...Love youre videos
HI there from UK im loking for some front springs for my kraton the v2 one and cant find a proper one ....can u help me ? what are u using on yours ? Thanks so much
Derrick Callies Traxxas are known for their great parts support and if that's what you want, then you'll get no objections from me. I would choose the LCG Platinum edition, though. Pretty good value and comes with some pretty good upgrades.
I got mine yesturday and i ran it, the escs are weird at first For me i had to run it on 3s twice before i ran it on 6s ( but i kinda blasted it with water sooo yeah )
HAHA, That may be a hard paint job for a novice, but when you're a pro airbrush artist you can do this, imgur.com/gallery/cNEvTQK To bad you're so far away, otherwise I could do a sick custom body for your channel. Still, you did get some clean lines, and pretty good for spray cans I take it?
Great review can't wait to hear how the test run goes . I still have the stock motor so far so good , I have watched all your vids on the Kraton what would you say is the best pinion to run? Also what are you going to run with the new motor and big tires ? I have the same tires as well .. Thanks
