I love the JX servo... I just don't love it in a monster truggy 😉 😁. After a year of abuse, the gears inside did wear down. I could feel the slop building, and a tooth or two let loose.

The front camber, on these Kratons, seems to be about -4° on each side. :oops: I'm more of a -0.5° to -1° type of guy for my ride's front camber setting. First, I pushed the top of the steering block/pillowball out a millimeter. Then, I went ahead and ground off about 1.2mm of material from the...

Itchin' to run this thing. Just waiting for the weather to break and the temps to get close to something on the warmer side of things. My poor beaten down Hobbywing WP-SC8 was just sitting around...into the EXB it went. The ESC has it's onboard caps blown from trying to move a rotor with blown...

The size of the Kraton's wheels, and Copperhead2 MT tires had me a bit concerned with the stock droop settings. I mainly didn't want the arms to yankin' on the shocks. After taking the front and rear shocks off, I found the stock droop settings to be off by about 4mm more than I had liked to see...

Okay, it's time for my roast. ?? Will a 120A speed control be enough to handle my motor of choice and 4S? Yes, that's not a typo. 4S is where I plan to start with the Kraton. I believe the Taurus 1700kv motor is spec'ed on paper at 95 amps maximum. Not only will I be using a 120A ESC, the ESC...

All soldered up... We'll soon see if this motor can get the Kraton up to speed and hold it. I am new to this whole "monster truggy" scene. I figured Arrma throws a 4074 in their RTR Kratons so that's where I'm gonna start with my EXB. I do know, a Hobbywing Max6/4985 SL-1650KV combo will be...

Been wanting to try one of Surpass Hobby's Rocket Taurus 1700Kv motors for awhile now. The 4274 Taurus motor had been on standby... waiting for a truggy to show up. The Kraton just so happens to be that truggy to get the Surpass Hobby treatment. As bonus, matching color scheme. I use their 4068...

One thing that I did get annoyed about was the fact that I came so close to stripping the motor mount out. I really don't know what to say. The motor mount screws were already installed, and I had a heck of a time getting the one screw out in order to get the mount off. Look at the threads on...

Took apart the diffs and found everything to be better than expected. Fluid level was fine. I don't know what people are talking about. When you pop off the sun gear, there is a lot of fluid clinging to it and makes the diff case look emptier then should be. I added a few drops of fluid and...

It's been a long time coming. The Kraton EXB...my first Arrma RC. It took me awhile to get onboard with buying an Arrma as I normally seek out kits for my kicks. The EXB roller option from Arrma is probably as close to a kit as I'm gonna get from the brand. The EXB was, honestly, an after...
