Project Kraton Worldbeater: Phase 1

[TinyTimTekno]

Welcome to our post & thanks for your time!

Christmas came early for us and we're going to share our vision with you! We will be chronicling our special 1/5 Arrma Kraton EXB 8S build on this continued thread over the next few months. We're taking our time on this one and it's for a good cause. We are still currently shopping potential sponsors for the remaining performance parts & upgrades. Once we obtain the goal we're after with this rig, this 1 of 1 build will be raffled off and the proceeds will go to purchasing 10 Arrma Grom RTRs for hospitalized & underserved youths in the PNW(5 going to each demographic). Stay tuned ladies & gentlemen, we promise an informed, detailed and community-centric thread! Please free to join in with your feedback and thoughts, as long as you follow the rules and conduct of this respected forum. We will take you through the ups and downs on this journey. Again, thanks for your time & Happy Holidays!
