Kraton EXB first bash with the locked rear differential.

Took the EXB out for its first bash, with the locked differential spool in it and was very happy with the results the car held up awesome and performed great.
Here is the link to the differential locker

I locked up my EXBs diff and I definitely notice it doesn’t wanna turn at slow speeds. It’s kinda like your yelling at the tires to turn but they’re stubborn and they’re pushing back at you kinda like a rebellious teenager with their parents lol 😂

[@BarstoneRC]

Hahahahaha yeah that’s a great way of explaining it LOL.

[@redbeardrc1452]

Wow, what a beast! Great hard bash brother 👍🏻👍🏻. The EXB looks impressive once the diff issues get sorted out!

[@ervinmedina9014]

That locked diff worked out great! You got some serious air on those jumps! Glad your enjoying your EXB now, its a drag you have not gotten your slip diff yet. Stay safe and bash on!!!

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks buddy I appreciate that! Yeah it is a bummer it hasn’t showed up yet but at least this worked out and is holding up and working awesome!

[@jrc-fabs1634]

Sweet jumps! Youre a great driver with wait controll

[@horacewashington]

Nice bash! Glad you got the EXB running.

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks bud! I’m glad I finally got it running too it’s been sitting on my shelf for too long. But it’s holding up awesome now!!

[@CommanderAstigRC]

Awesome session with EXB Kraton brother. Getting some wicked launches off those mounds. Huge backflip and almost took your face off coming back LOL 😂🤣. Rear diff locker seems like a godsend savior for this Rig. Made it thru LVC without any issue WSE! Big roof landing was brutal but she took it like a champ! Awesome session brother.

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks buddy I appreciate it! Yeah the differential locker seems to be doing the trick so far, I’m pretty happy with how it’s holding up and performing so I’m going to leave it in there.

[@jean-marcrevill3175]

Finally ordered some propellers for my plane and they arrived and now I can fly my plane again for some reason it was so nostalgic going out and flying whilst wearing my thick coat in the cold field in autumn!! Reminds me of Year 8😭😭😭

[@BarstoneRC]

Autumn is probably my favorite time of the year, it’s not that season here yet it’s still shorts and T-shirt weather but it’s coming soon. But enjoy flying it man hope you have a good time with it.

[@jean-marcrevill3175]

Bars&tone RC thanks

[@reubydo]

Nailed it the second time, great video thanks for sharing ❤️

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks a lot for watching bud I really appreciate it!

[@cktennessee2356]

Packed my EXB rear diff with silicone ear plugs to the brim. It's pretty much locked up, but a little more forgiving in the turns. Waiting for limited slip diff from arrma like many folks are. Subbed and smashed the bell. Nice Vid Man !!!!

[@BarstoneRC]

Did yours have the limited slip plates in it? Has it been holding up well with the earplugs? And thanks a lot for the sub man I really appreciate it.

[@cktennessee2356]

Rear diff no slip plates. Yes, so far it has held up well. Watched Your skate park bash with the outcast 6s. Nice air. Keep sending it bud.

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks bud I appreciate it!!

[@earlmoorhead5555]

I feel the same way with it locked up in the rear I really love the open rear diff but now that I locked the rear I can use it till arrma decides to send us are parts (not happy we are still waiting ) appreciate the video 👍👍💯💯💯💯

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah so far it’s not bad I’m enjoying it. But yes I’m less than happy with how long it’s taking to get the new differential especially when they told me it was going to be here a couple weeks ago.

[@sprc3352]

Very nice !!! Great bashing spot !!!

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks a lot I appreciate that! Yeah that place is a ton of fun for sure.

[@rctezluh42069]

blew out my new exb rear diff, fixed it, next day blew out the front, what kind of cat and mouse game am i playing with this thing!!it feels so much great when it is good! upvoted!!!

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah it seems like differentials like playing those games, lol thank you buddy

[@rockyrc9942]

Great bash spot brother 👌 and sucks we have to deal with les handling but I rather deal with a lose rear end then broken gears any day lol and lets hope they send those diffs soon

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah I’m definitely going to try to limited slip differential whenever it arrives but for now this is still fun I’m actually kind of liking it and it’s actually holding together so that’s a plus.

[@rockyrc9942]

@@BarstoneRC I've done a few speed runs and test passes on 8s and its holding up well but I figured that 8s is a little much for this platform in my opinion. On that note got the day off heading to the BMX track later today! See how she does

[@BarstoneRC]

Rocky Yeah I have been hearing quite a few cases of people running 8S on the EXB and it’s not turning out very well. Lol

[@gonzodetroitify]

Awesome show right here what shock oil weight do u use I also noticed a lot less bounce on landings it just soaks those right 🆙 this video shows how good this rug can actually be 😎😉

[@BarstoneRC]

It had the stock still in it then. The rear shocks on that thing really work great.

[@onemansvideos2134]

Seems to work better in the rear

[@paderbasherrc7666]

Don't just Bash.... BLAST man the double awesome bro ❤👍👍👍😎💣💣💪we Don't have so nice spots here in my place 😫

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks man I really appreciate it! As I use that track more and more I’m getting more used to what I can do with it.

[@paderbasherrc7666]

[@BarstoneRC]

It’s in Pennsylvania A little north of Pittsburgh

[@BarstoneRC]

Absolutely man I always love having company at the track! And thanks bud I really appreciate that a lot.

[@Mr.Wednesday.]

It was going fine for the double backflip until you hit the brakes got to see my mind was a little blown at that. But rad vid man good camera work.

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah, it’s funny how sometimes your fingers don’t do what your brain is telling it lol

[@rcpd3157]

Did you say 12 ft.? That's a good jump. Was that other HR diff locker for the 4s line? You are getting out some great videos! Keep it up and keep having fun!

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah the top of that jump is somewhere around 12 feet high it launches them pretty good LOL and yes that hot racing one is for the 4S and 3s line unfortunately, after I ordered it I kind of realized that but figured I would try it in one of the other cars at some point

[@BarstoneRC]

And thanks for the great comment I really appreciate that!

[@EXTREMERC416]

Put a v4 differential built with mugen shims in the front (you need a complete diff not only ring and pinion. Then you move the front diff to the rear

[@TheATeam_2014]

Amazing video! Around 6 mins into the video, you mention fixing your Diff issues. I have an EXB and already rebuilt my rear Diff. Just waiting for it to fail again. What did you do to fix your Diff issues? Thanks!

[@BarstoneRC]

I put a locking spool in the rear end. It’s been in there since The limited slip broke I’ve been really happy with it and it’s been holding up well.

[@lonewolf6169]

i put the lock in the center on my kraton8s exb, got proline street tires and 1100kv motor firma is a beast! and thinking put 1mill front and rear

[@BarstoneRC]

I bet that thing rips in drifts pretty well

[@lonewolf6169]

🔥🔥🔥 i thinking to remove the center lock and put earplugs but runs very well only fail is broke rear right drive shaft right in the pin🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah, I’ve ran the air plugs in most of the center differentials of my cars. It allows a little bit of give still but locks it up.

[@onemansvideos2134]

Don't put it in the center there won't be any power transfer and you will break gears i had one in my xmaxx and I was going through gears I went back to the center diff with ear plugs and haven't had to replace a gear since

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah I’m going to leave it in the rear for now whenever I get my limited slip differential from Horizon I’m gonna put that in and see how I like that

[@robcanthandlestupidy9249]

Hello I'm a big fan and a new subscriber I have a question,

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks I really appreciate you subscribing buddy

[@HardcoreRC]

Love the EXB - its east up what ever is thrown at it and spits it back at you 👍👍👍 what body strips are you using on the roof and front to protect the shell ?

[@BarstoneRC]

They were made by one of my subscribers he has a 3-D printing machine and he made me some and sent them to me. I apologize I don’t have a link to them he doesn’t sell them. But yes the EXB is performing awesome right now really happy with it.

[@MrBoycie2009]

I got a infraction roll cage/roof bar kit and cut it down to fit the EXB roof worked out well. measured the internal roll cage and after applying masking tape to the roof marked a center line then marked a line on each side of the roof 32 mm from the center . used the holes in infraction roof bars to mark drill points . then using a square transferred to the other side. used a 2 mm drill bit for pilot holes than a body reamer to finish. came out sweet and the inner mounts lock up tight to the EXB roll cage

[@BarstoneRC]

Sounds like a nice set up should definitely help the body out a lot.

[@MrBoycie2009]

@@BarstoneRC Thanks for the reply. us RC guys just got to improvise lol

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah sometimes you just have to come up with your own solution to problems LOL.

[@bencarpenter8874]

Damn this really makes me want to lock my diff’s even more now. Beat that fucker like it owed you money!😂

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah she is holding strong I had it at the BMX track two days ago and beat the hell out of it also and it’s still holding

[@jrc-fabs1634]

Good luck with that locker. One bad landing and many things could go wrong

[@BarstoneRC]

Well so far I have had quite a few bad landings and hard landings and everything is holding up so far, but it’s better than the car not running and sitting on my shelf. Lol

[@jrc-fabs1634]

For sure!

[@navbes]

first double was terrible !!! lol exb seems to be really tough it's amazing !!! great jumps dude !

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah sometimes it’s hard judging the rotation whenever it’s up that high it seems? I was standing on top of the jump which was already almost 12feet high and it went probably 15 feet above me so it was up there pretty good. Lol

[@navbes]

@@BarstoneRC yes it's true , the height and the distance are inconvenients but it's the game

[@BarstoneRC]

Absolutely man! But it’s fun learning LOL

[@navbes]

@@BarstoneRC it makes a long time you are waiting for your lsd for the exb, at least 2 weeks?

It has been over a month now.

[@robcanthandlestupidy9249]

My kraton exb 8s lost power in rear and making grinding noise.did you put the locker in because the original failed or did you just wanna try it. in that situation

[@BarstoneRC]

I just wanted to try it out but sounds like your rear diff ring gear is stripped out

Awesome bashing spot you got there 😎 Great video as always man. Did you say you've locked the centre diff with earplugs? So you got centre and rear locked in this vid? 👊

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah I had the center locked up with earplugs I did just pull it out and put normal oil in it I’m going to see how I like that with the locked rear differential.

[@surfside75]

@@BarstoneRC any update with an oiled center and locked rear?

[@BarstoneRC]

It worked good. It definitely handled differently but I have now gone to a new differential in the back

[@surfside75]

@@BarstoneRC are you still oiled in the center bro? 500k?

[@BarstoneRC]

No I have silicone earplugs in the center.

[@AntonioDiaz-nb6br]

What does locking center diff do

[@BarstoneRC]

Distributes the power equally to the front and rear wheels

[@stephentagle5195]

Is your diff still locked? Did it cause any side affects?

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah I still have the locker in the rear differential and the center differential is packed with silicone earplugs, and I have beat the snot out of it and have had zero issues with it.

[@ShadeTree_RC]

just a small launch .....85 feet thru the air we go ....weee 😆

Lol it flies pretty nice off that jump. But I’m happy the car is finally holding together!! Thanks for the great comment LOL

[@taxpayertroy]

How is this holding up I wanna try w my exb

[@BarstoneRC]

Everything worked fine, but the handling was not very good

[@taxpayertroy]

Really?? Even though it’s in the rear?? I hate the shimming bs arrma has with this rig what should I do sire. My rear diff stripped at the track

[@BarstoneRC]

It likes to fish tail a lot and spin out. That was the issue I was having, and it was hard to keep it a straight line.
