ARRMA KRATON 6s V5 first bash & damage report

[@kamakazirc2829]

I had the same problem with these servos but what I did to fix it was I shimmed the servo spring with retaining clips. so when you turn it doesn't split. And I use losi 100wt shock fluid and I tighten the springs all the way down. Happy BASHING! 👍🏻

[@DerbyCityRC]

Awesome, man. Thanks!

[@LVC_RC]

Sweet jumps! Looked like a fun first bash. Stock ARRMA 6s trucks definitely don’t have the best steering. The servo saver is set up a little too soft unfortunately. Great video!

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks! I love your videos and am subbed to your channel. Really appreciate the comment! 👍😎🤘

This is an hbx durability test! Ran that thin over like 3 times! Nice

[@DerbyCityRC]

Haha! Very true! HBX makes some solid stuff for sure!!

[@stephenfranklin6923]

Thanks for this video, this determined if I was going to get a senton or a kraton. also with the turning issue, it may just be a weak servo.

[@DerbyCityRC]

You’re welcome! Yes definitely a weak servo. Also a loose servo saver. I’ve got a few more videos on the Kraton as well. It has broken for me, but Nothing you wouldn’t really expect from the big air I give it!

[@tonysmith7989]

50 weight shock oil seems perfect front and rear to stop bottoming out for my setup. Also steering rate will help turn quicker or slower.

[@DerbyCityRC]

That’s helpful, thank you!! I was leaning towards 60 but may take your advice. Does it come stock with 40 wt?

[@tonysmith7989]

@@DerbyCityRC be honest everything I have and others I hear that they only throw 30 weight in everything, like 30k diff lube IN front and rear diffs just about everything under 8s. Center diff in 6s is 100k. I put 500k in the center of the Kraton and the Notorious left the center at 100k and changed the rear and front diffs to 50k.

[@tonysmith7989]

@@DerbyCityRC I think they do that so its cheaper on them and we dial in with the weight we want on how we drive.

[@DerbyCityRC]

@@tonysmith7989 awesome! I’ve been wondering what I want in my center diff. Thanks for the help! Hope you like my videos.

[@DerbyCityRC]

Also, I have a bigger badder bash video with the Kraton I just put out!

Wow!! Epic jumps! Great run! Awesome video! Keep it up my friend! 😁☺️😊😉👍🙌😝

Well thank you very much!

[@NeighberhoodRC]

Does that come with Willie bar or you have to purchase it separately?

[@DerbyCityRC]

If I remember right, I don’t believe this model comes with one but I think they are available.

[@jamesrowe6632]

Maybe more pre load? some thicker shock fluid and two hole piston? or as you say stiffer springs nice vid its super stable in the air. My guess on steering is servo saver.

[@DerbyCityRC]

I’ll definitely experiment with the preload adjustment and shock oil. I’ll probably start with that servo saver as well. Seemed weak for the size of the truck. Thanks!

[@sadow51]

I just got one and it has the same steering issue. Did you fix it?

[@DerbyCityRC]

Yes, I added some shims/ snap rings to the servo saver and replaced with this servo. amzn.to/47vdWrp I also added bearings to my steering linkage. It’s an old one but here’s the video on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4atoJtmYsajZtUsi=xaBUVxlE6DRdkZpV And here’s many more upgrades: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3m4l2Z5Zdx1rJosi=s2DMQ_mL5vL6nN9B

Great! Hopefully you find them to be good 👍 😎

[@Murphys_Law9]

Just sent mine back shock broke and one front dog bone keeps popping out 👎🏾

[@DerbyCityRC]

Dang sorry to hear that. After much abuse I finally have one bent shock shaft. Pretty much everything else got upgraded. Never ever had a dog bone pop out but I’ve heard of that happening quite a bit.

[@Murphys_Law9]

@@DerbyCityRC And this is light bashing, maybe a 3ft jump in the grass, i didn’t land correctly but still shouldn’t be that fragile. I repaired it but it happened again. Hopefully i have better luck with this Kagama that came in today.

[@DerbyCityRC]

@Murphys_Law9 I’ve been pretty darn mean to my Kraton, lol. Plenty of breaks though! The Kagama looks sweet for sure!

Good jumps. I see a little guy with you. My son has been bashing with me since he was 3 and a half years old. He's 5 and a half years old now. Great driver for his age. He's been driving by himself all that time. Check out my channel for some Xmaxx and Outcast 8s action and EXB K8S Plus more! Subscribed
