Man that thing is awesome, I absoloutly love your backyard.

Nice runs. Mines coming same color. Excited

Nice job Tony, great video. I have my 23T on the way and I’m looking forward to running it that way. As always, thanks for supporting this hobby!

Hey brother,I love your video’s,you’re a natural 👍🏼👍🏼I get inspired every time I watch one.great jumping with that monster!👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼❤️💪🏼

The 23t makes it a whole different truck!!

Love it brother Tony much respect 👊

oh wow... that looked fun!

All i want is a backyard like that please lol. Great run with the K8 looks like a blast!

Nice run Tony - catching up with my videos on you ;)!

lovely backyard mate

That is a Ripper with the 23t pinion!! Great Bash! 23t Where it’s at for that Monster!!

Great rip👍 I agree you don't really need to back flip this thing to enjoy it👍

Great video! Just picked mine up after Christmas. Going through the screws and am a little shocked that all were 1/4 to 1/2 turn loose except for the motor and at the axel carriers. Nice rig overall. Going to run it stock before I make any ESC or pinion changes. Using Gorilla Crystal Clear take on the inside of the shell for added strength. I’ve also ordered a carbon fiber tube to go over the center brace.

I agree Steve. It handles so well. A lot of precision for a big beast. Cut off wheel was my next option if I could find a tool that fit. Just weird to have it not fit the first time. I hadn't stripped it....and it didn't look stripped. Just sized weird

@@CCxRC Yea I came across some of those hex screws sometimes like that I swear sometimes the machine that makes them may be off a bit and throw off a bad weird batch of screws sometimes.

Great video. I installed the optional 23t pinion from the Kraton 8S in my new Mojave EXB and the fit was really really tie. I used a file to grind the edges of one side, and gave the pinion hits with the file to put it on my Rocket 4092. Taking that out will be quite difficult since I have no workwrench. I wanted to try the Kraton with 23t also since I´m almost blasting with my daugther on open gras fields. So max speed is fun :) With the standard pinion we reach around 55 km/h and with the size and weight of the Kraton it feels massive already. Another thing; my Kraton is now sitting still since steering isn´t going to one side. Also the shock of one side doesn´t works. It feels like something is blocking there. I looked for a stone or something but haven´t found something. Well probably need to dismantle some parts to look what is going on...

Hey been watching your vids! Good stuff man! I was wondering how you got your affiliate relationship w/ Horizon Hobby!? I'm looking to do the same and maybe you have the 411 on how to make that happen?

That 23T pinion has the effect of Dr. Jekyll into Mr. Hyde!!! 👊🏻👊🏻

Holy crap. Any overheating?

Hell yeah yall

I was wondering, can you add mechanical brakes to the Kraton 8S? If I'm not mistaken, the Losi dbxl-e, you have an option for adding mechanical brakes to it. It would be a whole lot better for the performance of the Kraton if you can add mechanical brakes to it.

Nice.

If you adjust the center diff fluid....I'm just warning you theres been some diff screws snapping due to the over use of lock tight that arrma has used so tons of heat before removing the screws

I think you can clear that fence with it

Why do your 2 screws in your red motor mount sit more towards the right side in the slot, when my one screw sits almost all the way to the left in the slot in the motor mount pretty much sitting against the plastic cage

Does changing the motor timing give you more top end speed and less torque?

Absolute beast now 👍🏼👌🏼

How did u build the ramp

kzread.info/dash/bejne/qqx5rrmxn5mzkbQ.html After replacing the 23t pinion, the braking distance was extended. Should the transmission draftbrake be set separately?

May i ask you if there are some troubles with the steering screw , couse to some other guy video after some small jumps steering was not responding and the reason was a loose screw !

@CCxRC

4 жыл бұрын

depends on which screw they had an issue with. They might have had the screw back out of the servo saver. My screw connected to the steering rack. If it backs out, the pivotball catches on the diff housing and limits steering...bends the screw and will eventually break it off...like happened to mine

Did you have to heat up any of the screws before removing them for the motor mount and/or pinion? My 23t gets here today. Cant wait to get it installed! Thanks!

Hey man, got a question for you. Changed my pinion to 23 one. But it's making lot more noise running. More metal noise, can't say it's a wrecking noise but scared I'll wrecked it. Do you noticed a different notice after the pinion switch? Grtz joury

Are u having any issues w over heating like the infraction when u change out the pin gear it shut down after 4 mins

@CCxRC

The infraction was overheating on the stock gear. I geared it down to a 16T to keep that from happening during bashes. No issues with overheating on this. Full battery runs every time. I didn't do a full run on the 23T because it was feeling warm and I want to have a temp gun with me to get real readings before I proceed to long that way. Also, I don't think my fan was running. I need to see if I accidentally unplugged it.

THat's a great tip. The MiPs are brand new, the DuBro hardly used, and the L wrench that came with the Kraton was brand new. They literally just spun in the one screw without any attempt to bite. It was odd. I need to order replacements for those right away. The other screws on the truck are fine, just those top two motor mount screws.

With all the chassis getting bent and Vas’s rant about them on Facebook these aren’t looking too good. I know a lot of guys that got them for review have been trying there best to hide it’s faults but I think there doing not only themselves and there channels a misjustice but also Arrma as a whole. Spending this much on a truck the last thing you want is a main component to have a flaw. They look awesome but imo there not worth the coin which is such a shame

@CCxRC

Grumpy Grandpa not sure if you are saying I’m one of those channels or not, but I’ve shown every break with this thing. I showed the overheating Infraction when I was only 1 of 6 to have them. I’m not trying to hide anything. Mines not bent because i drive it like a 1/5 scale. I would do with Deperbash or RCDude81 do with their vehicles. Granted, they are testing its limitations, but I’m not looking to just full-on send it and I’m not taking it to a skatepark. You can jump it big and not bend the chassis. I jump it every time I run it and have even landed on the nose, tumbled it, etc. the other guys straight away planned to get M2C chassis and show how tough they can be. They beef up all their rigs, because they are going insane with them. I actually have told people I still think the DBXLE 2.0 is still my favorite, 1/5 electric I’ve had, but this is definitely growing on me after the change to 23T. It has a lot of the handling characteristics of the DBXLE 2, but I trust this more for big jumping.
