Main portion of this video is removing the center diff and replacing the diff oil with 20 million weight. I also changed from the stock 17t pinion to a 22t pinion. Major improvement.

Just put 22t pinion gear in my Kraton and man what a big difference, I didn't mess with the diff but it wheelie on command 👍🏾😎👍🏾

If you don’t have a heat gun you can put the tip of your soldering iron onto the head of the screw for 10-15 seconds, this works just as good.

the only way to send more power to the FRONT would be to hold the rear wheels from spinning and the gear ratio INSIDE of the center diff will spin the front wheels almost twice as fast causing balloon. The same thing will happen with the REAR wheels if you hold the front wheels from spinning. If you were to LOCK the center diff, NEITHER front nor rear will get "more" power... they infact will get "EQUAL" amount of power. The reason thicker grease is suggested for the center diff is because when a vehicle accelerates "forward", all the weight is transferred to the "rear" of the vehicle. This causes the front of the car to lift up allowing the front wheels to loose traction and spin free. The funny thing about a diff is that it DOES NOT sent power to the wheels with the most traction! In turn, what a diff DOES DO is send power to the wheels with the "least" traction! CRAZY RIGHT! So now that we understand how a diff (differential) works, how do we fix the problem? There are TWO solutions.... OPTION #1 lock the diff so that equal power is sent to all wheels at all times NO MATTER WHAT all wheels will get 100% power under ANY condition but it is NOT RECOMMENDED unless you understand the consequences so that you can avoid and try to prevent them. OPTION #2...... Do what Jason did and use THICK GREASE. This is the "equivalent" of (partially) locking the diff because the inner spider gears are still allowed "some movement" but its ability to fully behave as a diff is restricted by 50% because of the resistance of the thicker grease. This feature is like a safety net in the event that your vehicles moving parts are under A LOT of stress, the diff will be allowed to transfer some of that power to the wheels with the least traction allowing your motor to continue to spin free and not burn up or over heat. Im sure this answered a lot of ppl's questions and thank you Jason for an inside look on the Kraton rc.

Great vid! Bud, I share your pain with the Kraton 8 Loc-Tite! Crazy over use of red (!!!) Loc-Tite. I've used the heat gun or apply a soldering iron to the offending bolt. Madness, Arrma need to get on top of build quality control. But, all worth it (?!) for an awesome truck. I run a 21 pinion in UK conditions and get great run times (twin 7600mAh) and motor/ESC run super cool. I wanted offload punch and reasonable speed over hard terrain. Gonna upgrade the diff oil and try a 23. Thinking that actually speccing true 1million (or 2) fluid might be pretty good. Stock fluid looks junk. Also I'm running a Spektrum 9020 servo - great improvement.

I'll just put the 23t pinion in there. It can do a wheelie from a dead start. I'm fine with that. I was treating it nice, but then I went to backflip it off the chain link fence at work like I do with the xmaxx. Nailed it three times and the rear bumper just go scratched because it was on concrete. Not a lot of people would do that to their $900 truck on the first run 😂👍.
