Super Speed Saturday - Arrma Kraton 6s EXB 16t & 18t pinion run

[@cjchannel12RC]

I think it cuts out due to current limiting which Hobbywing and rebranded Hobbywing ESC's do when there is over current, voltage spike or voltage drop i think Spektrum ESC's are just Hobbywing based although you might be right maybe it needs a firmware update. Great Content as always JayTee can't wait to see more.

[@universalhead]

Nice , this EXB is fast and well loaded with parts. What a beautiful machine. Would love to be a fly on the wall in the Traxxas boardroom. Well done.

[@longboardguy]

O man I love how this trucks runs can’t wait for spring time weather which is a few months off yet. 😅. I opened my truck up today and it’s a beauty these videos don’t do the looks justice the truck and it’s pacakging this time around is amazing. The box looks great. Even the Arrma branded tape that closes the radio in the air bubble packaging was a nice touch! Nice look at the truck Jay and I wish we had that weather here ☃️🇨🇦

[@jasondemers8522]

I love the more red they put in the body along with the aluminum parts!

[@rcbeast101]

The same thing happened to me. Happened with the Kraton and outcast 4s . I think it is all the vs esc.I. turned down the lvc to 3.2 .

[@LosihoTTT]

Nice video Jay, it looks really good. I ran both of my 6S Kratons today, i have a V5 BLX with the speed 15T pinion and upgraded ESC & motor fans (stock Firma system) and i also have an EXB roller with the Castle MMX8S / 1520 1650kv combo with a 20T pinion and both are stupid fast & good fun. I did break an upper front arm in the EXB 😆. Easy fix, that's the game we play.

[@The_RC_Guru]

For speed runs you end up fighting wind resistance. Weight isn’t a big factor. Also you can run two of the same batteries in parallel and get less voltage drop. You’re dipping down to the esc lvc on your hard amp pulls.

[@daig1984]

Nice runs dude, a few other channels have had there new 4s outcast shutdown, with fully charged lipos

[@RON4RC]

Now thats a sharp RC... Yes the cutting out would really annoy me tbh that needs sorted... Still wouldn't put tme off getting one tho..... Looking forward to seeing it run at the pk.

[@TravisBourgeois]

My new k8 has done that a couple times recently also

[@TravisBourgeois]

Maybe it’s the cold batteries ?

[@Barberev]

That happened when the battery voltage drops when you punch it makes the esc goes into Lipo cut off

[@jbish26]

LVC is too high. The sudden drain when you punch it sets off the low voltage cut off.

[@TorchedRC]

This drop can be made worse by using deans.

[@LosihoTTT]

@@TorchedRC He's not using Deans connectors. I don't know what video you're watching.

[@TorchedRC]

@LosihoTTT I may have jumped to conclusions there and see the IC5 Spektrum connectors later on but at 59 seconds in I can clearly see a deans connector. Maybe for an accessory.

[@cue03]

Completely disable avc and see what happens with that shutdown. I mean disable through the receiver itself and the remote sequence. AVC has some throttle management stuff associated with it. If that isn’t it, I’m looking forward to hear your findings after contacting Arma.

[@TheDudeRc]

Great content my man! Loving your videos! I just threw the speed gear on mine today to shoot some video and I cant believe I am saying this but I kinda prefer the rig on the stock gear. I could NOT keep my nose down at all even off road! LOL Glad to see what it does as I lost my SKY RC last week and have a new one on the way. I will just link people to this video if you are okay with it on my semi basher video.

[@JayTeeRC]

that fine

[@drawingslim]

It's the lvc kicking in, too much voltage drop when you pin it.

[@XWXW-lk4jf]

These same issues I am dealing with both my new BigRock and Mojave. Finally after doing the update successfully several times, the BigRock is no longer doing it and the Mojave is better. I had to also turn on the Dx5c radio in addition to the esc when performing the update in order to get the update to start. When I only turned on the esc and not also the radio, the update would not work for some reason. I am still not convinced the update completely solves these problems. It also turned out that my BigRock also had a faulty Receiver which complicated things some more. Again, it seems better now with both brand new vechiles but still not perfect. Arrma supposedly performed the update on all the new Kraton's prior to releasing them, because of the BigRock's issues. Slightly frustrating because they are great vechiles.

[@DJKadilac]

Mine is still in the box, I thought they opened them up and updated the ESCs, this sucks if mine has that issue too

[@kaskalo2]

You charged your lipo yesterday to drive it today? 😮

[@craigpoer]

I stopped running the stock esc and put in max 6. I think the kraton is at the max weight for that system. Thats way it comes with a small pinion. Max 6 helped me

[@am12eaz93]

Your lvc cutoff is kicking in due to those zee lipos I had a few sets and they seem to voltage sag a lot...try gens ace bashing 120c 6800s and you will be good to go

[@fangrc3404]

Cool run 😎 bro!!!

[@JamesGrates]

Hi bud love your channel you up for a challenge my wife just got her kraton 8 s how about a run off can only change batteries and tires and gears our channel vs yours our weather is turning bad so kraton would be best lol H and w racing channel

[@CrazyDuck80]

Cold lipo batteries will cause LVC

[@hassansharbatly8792]

HELLO I HAVE A KRATON 8S EXB AN CHANGED THE MOTOR TO 800 CASTLE AND ESC TO XLX 2 BUT I AM STRRIPING MY OUTDRIVE DAY AND NIGHT DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY RECOMANDAION RUNNING STOCK SPUR 47 I THINK AND 32 P ?

[@TheThetruthmaster1]

What ki d of tires

[@Jarcademis]

Hobbytown in Buford is the best HT. I drove 3 hrs to get there😅Worth every drop of gas!

[@Christina_and_Terry]

It’s geared to high mine cuts out with the 18 tooth on it as well

[@frankiep2314]

Maybe they added a new feature in the esc can't wait to get mine awesome video and happy new year and keep on rcing ✌️

[@JayTeeRC]

Thanks, you too!

[@rctezluh42069]

i run a 20t with the 2050kv it is wild and crazy!! 🤪 upvoted!!

[@SuperchargedJester]

What is your LVC set at? Stock?

[@bradd145]

Don't know exactly where you are located. But we are doing a run later today at Pitner Rd. dog park in Acworth. There is a nice mountain bike area that is great for rc. Respond back if you want to join us, we will be running a 8s Kraton and a couple of Xmaxx's. Hope to hear from you. What skate park do you run at?

[@JayTeeRC]

Thanks for the info!

[@synfpv9097]

Whats this ABC? and how do you adjust it?

[@JayTeeRC]

AVC www.spektrumrc.com/content/AVC/index.html..

[@cacanjacowans540]

Definitely amp draw due to LVC. This has been a spektrum issue for years. You could also try a larger pack. That SMC 10800 looks phenomenal. I personally still run *DV EXTREME 6500* or larger for speedruns. Definitely looks like a *MAX8 G2* is gonna be needed for successful speedruns 😏 *spektrum cutouts*

[@wallacengineering8096]

Ya man if you stored your battery in under 40 deg F garage, ur not gonna get full power. Thats too cold for full power, thats why the 16T run got a bit quicker the second run as the battery warmed up.

[@Frikkietube]

I just can't make my mind up between the arrma kraton exb rtr 8s or 6s. Please help. Which one do you think is better to have. Thanks

[@JayTeeRC]

Where do you plan on running it at? Whichever one you get? Also what's your budget?

[@Frikkietube]

Budget is not an issue. Nether is the place I am going to run the rc car. I just want to have fun and enjoy the rc car. The only problem is to make my mind up on the 1/5 or 1/8 scale kraton exb, hahahaha.

[@JayTeeRC]

@@Frikkietube will my choice would be the exb. A lot easier to carry around and with the 16 tooth they can do standing backflips. The xrt can never do that. Plus it's going to be a little cheaper on batteries and you'll have a lot of hop-ups for it as well. I will go with that first and then later if you still want something bigger like the xrt. If you want to support the channel there's a link in the description to purchase exb. There's also one leak for the xrt to if you decide to go that route

[@soheilmd]

Nice run! Are you running it on stock electronics? Its realy fast

[@JayTeeRC]

Yes I am

[@soheilmd]

@@JayTeeRC Wow its amazing! My EXB with Max6 combo doesnt go this fast. Nice video as usual! Have a nice 2024!

[@dgitalchaos]

I got 58MPH fully stock, but it kept cutting off like yours with the 16T pinion. Firmware is B5.07. Wonder if it’s a new issue or drawing too much amperage, or if the batteries were too cold. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWnUhWaLbbNli80si=RNnbUGxwCQW1FB6f

[@lterra72]

what’s abc?

[@LosihoTTT]

AVC - it's a gyro in the receiver that acts like stability control.

[@electricnitrorc]

The best is probably to put in a smaller pinion. There is no need to go 60mph off-road 😀 at least not for me 🙂

[@rcfamily4life74]

AWESOME VIDEO!!! I love the Kraton and now EXB!!!! A whole new level of RC'ing from ARRMA!! Happy RC'ing Y'all!!!

[@RC-Closer1313]

You did great… but no tools and spares?? You know better 😎

[@MrMan-ol4ic]

Gearing is to high! The ESC is protecting itself from burning up.

[@hassansharbatly8792]

GETTING SO FRUSTRATING HINKING TO GO BACK TO STOCK MOTOR

[@MrMad2424]

Over amping and shutting off. Gearing too high. Can ease into it and maybe fool it into not shutting down other than that it's the overconservative Hobbywing esc they use. Good stuff bro!

[@hassansharbatly8792]

[@Bill14886]

Zee packs are way over-rated. Try some HRB or better yet get so CNHL or SMC Racing LiHV packs.

[@Brushlessmarc]

get u a mm8s in there man those esc are rubbish

[@BrianWoodall-b8s]

When you ride them on street you don’t wanna wear that you don’t wanna drive with them tires cause you wanna wear them out Jermaine really for dirt and like the grass and all that you should get yourself some street tires that’s what I’m doing for my sledge, cause I’m telling my my own Does sledgehammer tires I’m wearing them out so fast that’s why I ordered a set of street tires and I didn’t get them yet but I bet you I would notice a difference and I’m doing I’m doing like 60 and I guarantee I wanna do like 10 more miles What the hell I want to be doing 10 more miles faster when I’m doing now said doing 60 I wanna be doing 70 and I didn’t even put the high gear in it yet so if I did that I guarantee you probably do 80 tops so you know me I was you what are you said a couple set of street tires cause I’m getting the Same exact vehicle you’re getting but I wanna get straight tires for that too. I just ordered the big rock I wanna keep them tires just for dirt and and grass and and I wanna get street tires too so I have street tires on each vehicle and they will have their own street, their own street tires I’m not gonna take them off and put them on this vehicle and all that I rather just buy a set for each vehicle then I know cause you know dude , the wear and tear difference to me I think it’s stuff like that so don’t don’t I don’t care if I’m spending the extra money it’s worth it to me in my eyes and my little MAXX2.0 I wanna end up buying three tires for that little monster two so and I got I got the 25 gear… and the 46 gear so I can imagine that I just ordered the 25 gear I didn’t get out and ride it yet. I went out and bought the four battery for it. I was running it mostly on three ass and it was still all right on three ass man, but I’m like this is the fore ass bat RC so I might as well get the pack and put it in here so that’s what I did so I can’t wait I’m getting the end of this month I got like 1315 more days I say 13 May pay for and a day or two days shipping IN HAND so I got like 15 more days I can’t wait man. I’ve been waiting for this for a while with my big rock then after that, I’m getting my crayon next the following month I’m getting my crayon. I can’t wait on that one. Can’t wait.

Those top motor mount screws are impossible to remove. i stripped down half the buggy to remove and blow torch them off. now swopped out with titanium screws.
