Agreed. Don't like them

I like the paint jobs. Man they've come a long way with the small upgrades compaeed to the v3 I got.

I agree. And that notorious with the yellow nose

I'm glad they are continuing the Kraton and Notorious but the schemes

I hope they continue with the 6s Outcast too.

Jay Tee hit 66mph with the new Kraton V6. Thing sounds insane!!

Don't get me wrong. I love my Kraton EXB. It's just the whole pillow ball thing. It's not for me. But, hold on! Now, the new Kraton 6S has this...

and this...

and these...

I don't know what to say other than... I'm sold. The lame arse body colors almost prevented me from digging deeper into Arrma's new monster truggy.

It's funny. I never have had an issue with the pillow balls. One came slightly loose once but once I fitted Teflon tape to the nut threads it was all good.

What issue are you having?

Yeah, I remember a Teflon tape debate on Arrma Forum with this very subject that many have had. Pillow balls are a high maintenance area for me on the Kraton EXB. I would get maybe a run or two in before the hub nuts w/o-rings loosened up enough to show signs of slop. Thankfully, the wheels spoke design allowed me to get in to tighten things up without taking the wheels off. I'm most certain the EXB would have been sold in quick fashion if it weren't for spokes . Hot Racing has the hot ticket "fix".

I must have been lucky. What was different about the HR parts that fixed the issue?

 

[332_RC]

I've had issues with the pillow ball retainers backing out on my aluminum front knuckles/hubs. Not the composite ones. Even with Teflon tape the aluminum knuckles need looking at often. The composite ones stay put w/ Teflon tape. The new design looks really good
