1st RUN! Arrma KRATON 8S EXB with V2 RTR 2023 electronics 🔥🔥 SKATEPARK BASH! 🚀💥✈ DID IT SURVIVE?? 🤔

Alright... I know I've used this sound track before but is sooo good and suits my filming style to a tee.... I had to use it again. I apologise!
Now you know I had to drop the v2 electronics into the kraton 8s exb to see how it preformed. I loved it in the outcast! This time my 1st test run was at the skatepark. I got some decent sends and awsome rips & wheelie action 🔥🚀✈💥
Watch and see how it did...

    Yeah. The kraton 8s isn't made for concrete landings I'm afraid. This skatepark is my local and I use it as my testing grounds. Just got to watch out for dogs 🙁 It gives me a good feel for the rig with regards to air control etc... It's usually a fun place to bash and the grass landings aren't as harsh on the cars. Thx for watching buddy 👍

    That power system is perfect for the Outcast. I was impressed that ARRMA went with this appropriatley size motor in the new v2 RTR EXB instead of the just getting by, min spec motor in the previous RTR. I don't think most people would really need to upgrade that motor in an Outcast. Like you though I do wonder if it is good in the long term for a Kraton, or if eventually people with that system in a Kraton will desire more power.

    Hi buddy. Although the 1100kv is a decent size motor the 30/46 gearing is at the max you can fit. Tbh I didn't feel I had enough juice. I'm thinking of going 27/39 to see if it helps. A max 5 combo will add weight so could result in more breakages. I think I need more run time before I can decide. One things for certain its defo a fun large scale ripper!

    I had the same problem it’s not the servo it’s the PILLOW BALL RETAINER, takeoff your two front tires you’ll see 2 big plastic screws they tend to tighten up so you can’t turn. M2C racing makes aluminum ones with a plastic insert. Or just wrap piping tape around the screw and put it back in, that’s what I do haven’t had many issues

    This is the biggest size pinion I can get in with the 47t spur. I didn't have any temp issues, but it is winter. I was considering going for a 39t spur with may a 25t/ 26t pinion to get more power. I recon I'm getting around 50mph at the moment. I haven't put the GPS on it though.

  • @inspiredrc

    7 ай бұрын

    Unfortunately the c clip holding the rear bearing In pinged off which allowed the bearing holding the input gear in place to slip out. This could have ended badly. The loose mesh between the input gear and ring gear could break teeth and ruin diffs. Luckily it must have just happened and my diff was unaffected. 🙂👍

  • @inspiredrc

    @thepatternforms859 it's hard to decide which better hence why I have both. Personally the shorter wheelbase makes the outcast more fun. I can get a double backflip with the outcast where I only get a single backflip with the kraton on the same jump. The outcast wants to wheelie alot which make it difficult to get it to turn as the front wheels are always lifting up. If you like to do speed runs the kraton is better at it being more stable. I prefer my outcast as I like to jump my rc's and its more suited for that. Tbh from what you said the kraton will fit your bill. In the future you can ear plug the center diff to help with stunts and wheelie. If after that you still have the outcast itch it wouldn't take much to convert the kraton to an outcast.....

    Yes but that size battery will be really heavy not to mention most likely to be very expensive. Also not sure if it will fit in the trays. I wouldn't recommend going with such a big batt. I've had good luck with zeee lipos. The biggest I would go is prob a zeee 9000mah 4s pack.

    The pizza slicer effect on tires is simply ridiculous for a $1k RC, come on Arrma...Shouldnt have to go buy new tires 1st thing, on a $1k RC, plus RTR Servo should simply be better. . .Like $1k for a RC is no laughing matter, respect peoples hard earned money, and give us a solid setup, and that includes ALL electronics...Or give us our Rollers, so we can, without the added Spectrum tax.

    Dude I agree. They should have released this as a roller as well. Alot of people have electronics from their v1 they could use. Why not release a roller and an rtr??? Imo it needs a max5 with an 800kv motor. Servo needs to be alot better. I actually got more run time with the old sr905 servo at 8.4v.... thats crazy arrma.
