Great advice and timing as my 6S is arriving tomorrow👍🏻
Nice, you will love it. They are amazing bits ohlf kit 👍👍
Subbed, great video! I'm new to arrma. I bought a v4 6s kraton in December. So these videos help!
Cheers man, glad they helped, it's an awesome truck I love mine 😁😁👍👍
@@bournemouthrc4371 they are awesome rc trucks. I've had all traxxas. These kratons are built very well. I've only ran 4s so far but love the truck. Happy bashing!
Great tips video! I think people that are new to the hobby should do research and watch videos like this before they go flat out with their rc. Like you said it’ll save you lots of trouble and $$ for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers man, yea a little bit of research goes a long way in this hobby. Yes big flat out jumps, is a no go until you have put in the time to make them strong 😁😁👍👍
thanks for the tips dude
No worrys, glad they helped
new Sub! very helpful video. we all want to bash the instant it arrives but at least some of the things you mentioned could definitely be accomplished immediately... like tightening the screws and adjusting droop. maybe it was mentioned by other comments but one thing to add would be to vent the tires and tape the holes in the inside wheel. saves tires for the long run.
Cheers man, yes on a separate video I showed strapping the tyres as well. This is the ultimate way of ensuring they don't split, also I'm proved the handling at speed as well. I have vented them too. Cheers for the sub 😁😁👍👍
Thanks mate, Great info much appreciated.
Cheers man, I'm glad it helped 😁😁
@@bournemouthrc4371 I got my Kraton yesterday and havent taken it out yet, do you know where I can purchase that front bumper from ?
@@adriandavis2796 modelsport or make it build it should have it in dude
@@bournemouthrc4371 thanks I will give modelsport a call.
Use drywall tape n shoe goo to strengthen the body, works great. Great vid. I needed all of this info. Subbed.
Cheers man, yea all my new bodies I have dry wall taped and shoe glued 😁😁👍👍
Mine arrives tomorrow so thanks for this vid, super helpful.. Subd...
Cheers man, You will not be disappointed, enjoy. 👍👍👍
@@bournemouthrc4371 just a quick one, wanted to break it in on 4s can you recommend a good, cheapish 4s lipo or 2x 2s? The kraton and my 2x 3s batteries kind of blew my budget lol am based in London uk...
@@lexusant64 the cheap ones I have had most luck with are the turnigy off hobbyking or zop power from banggood
@@bournemouthrc4371 awesome thanks will check em out
Excellent video. Only feedback I have is to zoom in on the parts you're talking about. Cheers
Cheers man, I will take that on board for future videos. 😁😁👍👍
instead of duct tape use mesh drywall tape and shoe goo just got mine and love it!
Very helpful video I’ll definitely have ago at the drop screws when my car arrives later today but I don’t think I’ll be able to do the whole Shim thing haha
Yes droop screws are a good little adjustment to save you breaking them, the shimming is also good to do but takes a little more work. Not as hard to do as it looks though, it is very easy
Bournemouth RC easy for you I’m a complete noob 😂
@@bennett7995 it's easier than you think, I have helped a few through it. If you do want to do it find me on facebook and I'll help you through it
Bournemouth RC do you have a video on how to change the pinion? There’s others on CZcams but I do like following yours. I’m happy with how it is for now but no doubt I’ll want to change it out at some point. Also if I do change it will everything be ok on the car if I constantly run it? Cheers Sam
Shoe goo and drywall tape works better for the body, triple layer around corners and all edges
Okay, I just bought it.. I'm ready to drop this from the rooftop.. This is my 1st hobby grade rc
Awesome enjoy the truck there brilliant fun. Perfect place to start
@@bournemouthrc4371 I saw your jumps.. It's wicked sick.. Did you already changed your chassis?
@@wolfreon yea I have fully upgraded mine over the time. You don't need to straight away just upgrade things as they brake. Most important is to just check the diffs and re shim them into the housing after you have run a few packs through it
@@bournemouthrc4371 good stuff brotha, thank you very much
Watched this vid when v5 is the latest model. Is this the same case as for the v5? Diff issue still?
I had 2 shims on the left side of the outdrive. It’s weird because I’ve seen multiple videos of others only having one shim. Both front and rear had 2 shims. I tried to add a 3rd but it was too tight
Yes it all depends in the free play in your gearbox case, a couple of mine needed 3 it total but the rest since have only needed 2 in total. Just all depends on how much free play is in the housing
Shoe goo and drywall tape works the best for me I’ve been on the same body after 2 years of bashing
Yea I have now done that to mine, works really really well.
Shoe goo is a miracle substance for tpughening anything up!
Got my Kraton and all the screws were so tight they squeaked when I tried turning them but best to check everything after each bash ;)
I also put silicone ear plugs in my center diff, so responsive!
@@jakejager its brilliant even better when you find a cheap version just as good
@@jakejager nice man, mine was pretty good, I just had a few loose, particularly the front upper hinge pin bolts, but as you say always check first
Listen carefully to adjusting droop screws!
Great advice, but i want to add a few more, use gorilla tape, it’s a lot better over time vs ducktape. Also get yourself some aluminum 7075 front and rear chassis braces, swap out reciever and radio to avoid issues and lagg. It’s a few cheap one with remote and controller for around 50-70 dollars.
Hi buddy Andy mogg rc here just to let you know I'm getting mine tomorrow 8th October can't wait I will strip my down to do all my diffs which I ordered the lot
Awesome man. There amazing trucks enjoy yours buddy 😁😁👍👍
When it arrives Tomorrow should I do the diffs straight away with all the other bits you said about buddy 🤔 or wait
Did you say that I got to put 2 shims on.the rear back has well as the middle and front 👌
@@Moggmodels23 it depends on how tight yours are on mine my center need 2 extra shims on the planet gear and both rears needed 4 extra inside the diffs and 2 extra on the outside
When it arrives tomorrow what have I got to look out for on my diffs to know if there loose or not because I'm new to rc sorry buddy just need some advice on it all because I don't like stripping my diffs out if I haven't got to.
Hi there nice video, what 6s or 2 3s batteries would you recommend me to get?
I have 3 brands I'm really happy with the zop power from banggood but shipping to uk is a nightmare at the moment. The turnigy heavy duty and rhino batteries from hobbyking have also been really good. Those 3 are the best i have used for sensible prices
Thanks for the recommendation man, just another question: does the kraton 6s come with the battery low voltage cutoff already set up or do I need to set it up myself?
@@marvinmikha202 outcomes as standard on the esc and will cut out at LVC so not to damage the batteries 👍
Hi mate that front bumper did you have to change the bumper underneath it for the rpm one to fit??
It was the talion one, it's in this part number comes in a set

Excellent mate thanks 👍🏻
Took Mann out for a run the other day it wasn’t terribly hot probably upper 70s outside running it mostly on asphalt but not doing speed runs back-and-forth just driving sliding around goofing off the thing was going into thermal shut down a lot and the motor and the ESC got really hot is this normal for one of these should I look at upgrading or is this something I should see about having warranty I ordered a cooling fan for the motor but the ESC fan was howling away and still it was overheating running to 3S 5200 million Batteries at the time
That does sound odd to be getting hot that quickly, were you in a small confined space like a garden or out in the open. Mine gets hot quick in the garden, lots of stop starts. If it's going to thermal cut out on wide open spaces and you have done nothing to it contact them and see what they say
Bournemouth RC I was actually in a big open parking lot but I was doing a lot of it’s hard acceleration and then pretty hard braking sliding the back and around and stuff like that sort of some light drifting so definitely a lot of acceleration and breaking I guess that could’ve had something to do with it but I was in a pretty open area
@@LargeeeScaleLife did it go into shutdown from the overheating cut off? you will find these rigs do get hot if you constantly on gas and brakes for a long period of time.
Bournemouth RC That was probably the cars because I was doing hard accelerations then getting really hard on the brakes getting the back in to break loose and getting back into the throttle pretty hard was it doing speed runs but was definitely running it pretty hard put my hand underneath it and the whole underside of the chassis was really hot ordered some cooling fans for the motor hopefully that will help
@@LargeeeScaleLife yea some cooling fans will help for that, keep the motor a little cooler. Plus just take breathes every now and then let the fans cool it for a min then carry on
Sorry to be a pain but you seem to have cut yourself off at around 7:44 when you were about to make a point about the centre diff oil. I'm putting together a shopping list for diff oils and shims going off your videos and 500k oil seems more difficult to get hold of than the 300k and as I've never removed or stripped a diff before I want to try and get the shopping list right before taking all this apart.
Thanks again.
300k will still work well, I run 500k but anywhere between 300k - 500k for the normal motor will be good 😁😁👍👍
Use gorilla tape idk why the kraton 6s have thin body because the 3-4s line are thick
I do that to all my rc bodys! Great tip!
No mention about changing that horrible STX2 for a better transmitter?
Yes you are right it's up there on the things to do, I think I need to do the other 5 to make a top 10 if I'm honest
@@bournemouthrc4371 I upgraded to the DX3 ;)
@@mortenbjerremannnielsen4388 good choice I went for the dumbo
Dropskrew adjust griplevel of car. You now have drop like a touringcar. Its ok if you drive on smooth surface. Your car will land much harder when you remove downtravel.
Just send it
Can this really handle 6s power or should I run it on 4s?
6s power is fine for these, if you shim the diffs properly there perfect. I run 8s on mine
@@bournemouthrc4371 wow lol, ill have to watch your video on how to do that. Thnx
@@bournemouthrc4371 do you have a link on how to?
@@jamesrobinson4950 yes here is a link to one of the videos and in the description is the right shims to get and a link 2 the other 2 videos on how to shimm. There are 3 places to shimm in total. Then they are strong
@@bournemouthrc4371 great my k6s should be here early July thnx👍
Personally I think the kraton is a really cool rc but there are so many upgrades needed to make it decent and I find the xmax is much better stock and its my dream rc so I'm saving to get a second hand xmax and maybe when I am older I might get a kraton as it's going to take ages for me to afford parts for upgrades
Yea to do some heavy bashing you will need upgrades, but the cost difference between the 2 well and truly make up for needing to buy a few parts
@@bournemouthrc4371 I'd say I moderately bash, by the time I have enough for a kraton the v5 would probably be out
Xmaxx is way to expensive for a bunch of plastic. Just my opinion
@@mg90q61 yea the cost puts me right off the XMAXX, and the looks it's big but does look like a bit of a toy still
@@bournemouthrc4371 yeah I have two kratons and I will be getting the typhon next. Just sucks they put 15 dollar radios in them
All gpm stuff is rubbish they consentrate on looks over quality
"Light" bashing KILLS this P.O.S.!!
