Arrma Kraton EXB First run with Hobbywing Max 6 combo 1650kv

Arrma Kraton EXB finally made it to the UK, only a month after the USA 😥
Took her out for a first shake down run to make sure everything running well and see what sort of speed she would do.

did you have to mob the battery tray to get those turnigy panthers to fix?

They just fit - very tight and the battery tray expends on the side a bit, but they do fit. Only thing that i would suggest is the sides of the top sliding bit you just trim / dremmel the insides so the top of the Panthers has a bit more room on the edge of the top sliding part.

[@HardcoreRC]

Sorry for the late reply - this has only just appeared in my list of comment notifications, not sure why: Have used both in the Kraton EXB. The Rapids are great but if doing very high jumps etc the case can spit round the seam, when they are stacked on top of each other, i have super glued and put gorilla tape round the seam to stop it happening. The Panthers are the best no question, but are a very tight fit in the stock battery tray, you will need to either run without the top sliding part of the battery tray or dremel the inside sides of it down so it fits over the panther. Hope this helps

would you say that power is actually to much for this vehicle? Ive seen alot of people raving about it but it looks like it just flips as soon as you punch it full throttle?

[@HardcoreRC]

Depends where you live really - i live in UK so options are limited. The Hobbywing Max8 with 2200kv motor would be fine, just its recommended to add the extra caps packs to the ESC (comes in the box) to the Max8 for a tuck this size, and i dont like to solder, so easier optiojn for me was just to go max6. Like any car it you punch it hard it will flip, its easy enough to control, but still enough power to have fun 😂😂😂 naother option would be Max6 ESC or Castle ESC and the hobbywing 4274 2200kv motor - just you cant buy that as a combo

[@HardcoreRC]

The other option is to check if you have the right number and size of shims in the rear. Only way to be sure is to measure them - they should be minimum 0.7mm to 0.8mm in total each side - just having the right number doesnt mean its right as some shims were not the right thickness. www.arrma-rc.com/part/ARA311066

Hey hardcore can someone tell me at8:43 what are the lsds doing are they loosening up for the right turns or tighten up😱🤔 why do we need lsd TIA

[@HardcoreRC]

In most RC cars the diffs are what is called open, this means that the power gets transferred to the wheels with the least resistance, that is why when a car wheelies the front wheels turn into pizza cutters, all the power is being transferred to the front, the normal way of fixing this is by using thicker diff fluid. The LSD (Limited Slip) plates means that as the wheels with less traction start to spin up the plates cause friction inside the diff and effectively make the fluid thicker and thus stopping the transfer of power to the wheels with no traction. In a normal open diff when driving on two wheels like at 8:43 the power would have been transferred to the wheels off the ground. This may help you in the benefits of Limited Slip Diffs (albeit for real cars 😂) drivetribe.com/p/how-limited-slip-diffs-make-you-aKo9i9p4TdiBurut_Y4zSg?iid=Rj0Evvl7Tv2rgLF9BkMsGA

Option between Mojave / Kraton 8s / Outcast 8s or Xmaxx would really come down to what you wanted to do with the car, Mojave is really only good on lose material like dirt, gravel, sand etc, to be honest it sucks on grass, concrete or Astroturf, then between the O8S / K8S and Xmaxx would depend if you wanted something a bit more stable round corners then K8S / O8S, or more durable and cheaper to fix then Xmaxx

Hey bro... Perfect vid👑 I have now stock arrma motor.on my kraton 6s v3. I want to put 1650kv.. It is more power/moment from 2050kv motor ? And..how much pinion i wil shuld to put...on 6s... Thanks

[@HardcoreRC]

The 1650kv is more power than the 2050kv for sure, the stock 2050 KV is good for about 53 mph without over heating. i know the 1650kv will go over 60mph on 20/21 tooth pinion with no heat issues, plus a lot more torque low down. We run a 19 tooth pinion and clocked it at 57mph

@@g.bjumpsbashing3062 If going with the 1650KV motor i would recommend going to the Max6 ESC as well

I keep looking for reasons not to buy the EXB. You've given me absolutely nothing to work with. 😆

[@HardcoreRC]

LOL - it is my #1 RC at the moment, If you are after a Kraton this is the one to get, and if in the UK its a way way way better deal than the V5 - you know you want to buy one really 😂😂

[@gonzodetroitify]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 nothing to work with Stellar call shadey

@@HardcoreRC what if u have the v4 6s🤔 is this worth it or the Mojave

[@HardcoreRC]

@@gonzodetroitify I have the V4 6s and it sits on a shelve now looking pretty 😂😂 so only buy the Kraton EXB if you dont want to drive the V4 6s any more 😂😂

Any news on the diff

Not yet - will be chasing tomorrow if nothing in the post

[@eddieroadrunner6691]

HardcoreRC interesting to see personally I think they are clutching at straws and need to go back to the drawing board

[@eddieroadrunner6691]

HardcoreRC I have no cars at the moment doing me head in but at least I have my dji mavic pro lol

[@HardcoreRC]

@@eddieroadrunner6691 I have the 3 star plates in mine currently as i had a spare diff i bought as a just in case, but i haven tested it properly yet, first outing my motor had moved so lost mesh, second time out i landed hard on the back and broker the rear diff case. M2C chassis and tower brace going on this week

[@HardcoreRC]

@@eddieroadrunner6691 Are all the spares you need out of stock ? that sucks bad

[@caymandiver75]

Is this the motor/esc combo you have? EXB specs show max motor diameter size is 43mm and the motor in this combo is 49mm. Thanks! www.amainhobbies.com/hobbywing-ezrun-max6-v3-sensorless-brushless-esc-motor-combo-w-4985sl-1650kv-hwa38010801/p971791

[@HardcoreRC]

Yes thats what i have and it fits fine with stock motor mount up to a 23 tooth pinion, but would suggest 19 - 21 tooth is best

[@caymandiver75]

@@HardcoreRC Just took my EKB out for it's Maidan yesterday fully inspired by this video running the same setup as you except I went with a Castle Mamba Monster X 8s ESC since that was all that was available at my local hobby store and is probably overkill. Running the 19t pinion and WOW this truck really does move! I would like to add a wheelie bar at some point but they all seem to be out of stock at the moment. Quick question for you...do you think it's necessary to run a fan on my ESC? I would like to run my vehicle and not worry about hitting some water puddles and with the fan being the only part that isn't water resistant I wanted to ask since it looks like you are running without a fan on your max6.

[@HardcoreRC]

@@caymandiver75 Yep the EXB sure is a beast with the 1650kv set up - MMX is a great ESC. Will really depend on temps if you need to run a fan, most fans dont have an issue with water believe it or not. I do run a fan on mine but not the stock fan as they just break almost every bash, so i now use this kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYWvnZ5riZaBedU
