Rich great vid! Quick question for anybody’s opinion. Just picked up possibly last EXB Kraton 6 from hobby shop and did not run it yet but immediately threw a 18t pinion in. Is that a bad idea? Gonna have issues? Still all stock other than pinion swap 🤘🏻
@richduperbash2966Күн бұрын
You should be fine temp wise during winter with the 18T. I'd just watch your temps come summertime depending on how hot your ambient temps get. Much past 150F motor and 140F ESC is getting toasty.

The guy does a FY review, states it will not be for bashing, more of a driver's rig. A few months later, sending it to the moon! 🤣 The rear shafts should be level under acceleration, so slightly just a little bit higher standing still. Because if it is level when accelerating if leveled, it will be under.

Hello mr.rich, so i have a very heavily modified kraton 6s exb v2 that has every m2c part offered plus many other top tier upgrades as it is a full custom build. Only thing stock is the esc and motor, but I just purchased a max 6 combo with the 4990 1650kv motor to put in it. It's definitely heavy now. Wanted to know what pinion size you recommend? I have a similar driving style as you with big airs and also like laying down the throttle on big stretches. Also what diff fluid do you recommend on front,center, and rear? And pinion ?

The Mojave 4s has decent ground clearance and handling for an SCT or desert racer. Tons of shock travel overall. The Typhon 6s is a superb handler and incredibly fast by comparison with it's low center of gravity. It's almost unfair to compare as they're completely different designs.

Thank you Brother 🤗. Aluminum chassis braces are a must front and rear. Beyond that, aluminum rear suspension mounts (C and D blocks) and an aluminum upper front suspension mount are highly recommended.

I have the EXB Kraton V2 and can't wait for spring. Do you think 300k is too much for the center diff with LSD? I shimmed all the diffs, M2c Droop screws, skid plate, Schorched Knuckles.. that's my baby.. Then I had to order a new Notorious V6.. which I will beat on and run on the dandy beach lol.. so I agree after taking apart that one and shimming diffs.. not only are the aluminum housings worth it.. EXB you also get Aluminum Chassis braces, upper front hinge mount, center diff mount.. wheras V6 are plastic.. So far I've upgraded those parts with ADU. If you want V6 hubs, that's a 20 upgrade and bearings.. no sweat. So the value is there.. Glad I bought the EXB before it was discontinued 😊

It’s super cold here right now so I’ve only ran it once since swapping it,it seems to be a bit better but i haven’t ran it real hard. I’m only running it on 4s, i may upgrade it to run 6s but then i imagine I’ll just have different issues to deal with lol.

Yeah my buddy John was constantly busting front bulkheads with his V1.

No shim behind input gear but metal shavings from diff is inside the housing.. cant seem to find the clicking sound when inspecting the rig..only when under power it clicks yes it’s the rear n that’s way I noticed the shaving but no teeth are missing and diff are brand new..check the front still looks good just the rear dig is now two tone?? I need help bro. Yes I still have stock bulkheads.
@richduperbash29669 күн бұрын
Clicking usually comes from teeth skipping. I only use shims on the crown gear side bearing. That brings the crown gear closer to the input. Metal shavings indicate a problem no question. Make sure your bearings are all good and the teeth aren't worn and that the output cup hasn't floated forward off the input shaft. If you have the plastic stock bulkhead, make sure to inspect carefully for cracks including on the bottom. A cracked bulkhead will allow the gears to slip. Hope you get it sorted Devin. 🍻
