Nice FAT AIRS Vas😱!!! The Kraton Beast takes such a thumping 👊. Not sure if you've heard of the motor wire mod, but it's simple and keeps the blue motor/ESC wire from getting chewed up by the pinion/spur. Just drill a small hole through both upper ends of the plastic wire retainer and run a skinny zip tie through them to lock the wires in. It happened to me twice after hard, big track jump landings and the ESC wire got ravaged 😥. An ounce of prevention🤔. Never again I say. 🍻😨😨😎💪👊👊

A couple guys had a few on 6S a few months ago on the street. I was like uhhh I think that might be too much on the road? He blew two tires on the second speed run. lol.

How does yours not overheat on the 14t pinion on 6s, with the stock Blx system? Should I be running a different power system, or gearing down 1 or more teeth on the pinion? I've mostly only run 4s, it just seems to me, that with ambient temps. on the higher end 14t on the pinion feels like it is right on the limit for general bashing, I don't know. Seemed like a good video to post this as my Kraton is still mostly a stock v3.

I’ve had my Kraton out 6 times and two different times the suspension arm broke and now I think the servo has stripped gears... I haven’t even jumped the thing...suspension arms broke from minor cartwheels... no idea why the servo is messed up!! 70% of the running I’ve done is straight aways! Kinda disappointing... it’s the only nice RC I have and I’m afraid to run it! 😂
@bendscrewrc27456 жыл бұрын
Something isn’t right. I’d really like to see how you’re driving it. Every Kraton breakage is from a LOT of abuse, as this video shows. For the shock rod to bust as well as steering servo teeth, then you’re hitting the arm VERY hard. Those cartwheels would be hitting with some serious force.

A bit of both, actually. The Big Rock is a unique truck; it's brushless with lots of power, but you can lock each diff or unlock them. If that's something you need or want to experience, then go for it. If you want a good all-round basher that's easy to work on and can roll with the best on the market, then go the Kraton. But if you choose the Big Rock, then look after it because parts could be an issue.
