I'm sure you've done some tweaks by now... entirely too stiff and that giant motor has altered your cg in this one... I'd be very interested in an update? Love mine. Just ordered some stiffer springs after installing the t bone kit

I don’t think so. It’s possible, but you’d have to find the supporting parts needed to beef up the axles, diff, motor plate etc. it’s why I buy the 3s models to start off with in case I do go big. Maybe better looking for a used 6s arrma.

I only own 4 Rcs: Typhon 3S, Losi DB Pro 3S, Kraton 4S V2, and Vortex 3S. All stock, EXCEPT Typhon (1st RC). I have a total of $2200 in as of right now, and saving up for my $520 Cart (Ebay), then she as maxed as I think I can make her. I love my Typhon, and been buying parts for her now 3 years. LOVE that RC, so much. My boys play with Vortex 100% stock. Wife plays with Losi DB Pro. The Kraton gets little love, sadly.

Best place for prices is by EBay. I reckon it’ll be cheaper than I got it because I live in Hawaii and have to pay for shipping. However, if you can, I always suggest you buy it at your local hobby shop. You’ll support small business and your community and you can start forging a relationship with workers there if you ever have questions and problems. Good luck. For Arrma stock parts, I look on JennyRC which are takeoffs and resold. You save on cost vs brand new.
