ARRMA Kraton 4s 1st & 2nd Bash and Slipper Clutch Adjustment How To

Күн бұрын

First bashes done with the ARRMA Kraton 4s and I really like how it drives. It handles like a dream on the ground and in the air. As you can see, the first run didn't go perfectly for me. We had a break off a medium size backflip. I'll detail this below. I break a lot of RCs and am used to it happening when doing flips - but usually only for missed flips.
First off, I was sent this Kraton by Horizon Hobby to review, but will stress that I do not get paid by them or anyone for reviews. As always, I show what happens and give fair and honest reviews for you. There is no perfect RC and if someone says so in their reviews, I'd question it - especially and RTR. These are assembled by real people and there is always room for error during that process. My slipper was set looser than I would choose for it out of box, but other RTRs I've received have come too tight at times. So you will need to make some minor adjustments to tune it them to your liking.
The first break that you see in the video is partly due to the rotation during landing. Because I was still accelerating, it caused it to hit hard on landing. Should it have broke? Probably not. But you watch full size monster trucks break axles on backflips depending on how they land. The new stock part I bought took much harder hits and it fine. After inspecting the part, it looks like the plastic hadn't cured quite right or something because it was rough.
With any RC you plan to launch, you can usually expect for A-Arms or C-hubs to break at some point. Some cars I've even broke rims. It happens and is luckily an easy fix. When you do replace them, there are options out there like RPM which many in the hobby see as an upgrade. Their plastics are very durable. When I bough the replacement arm for this, I put it on to continue testing it, but also bought RPM arms that I plan to put on because I do like them on my bashers because they are flexible.
I'll also be showing how the truck handles and what it can take with those arms on. They are a less than $30 upgrade to replace all 4 lower arms. But for a truck that handles this well and is so much fun to jump, I think it will add to the overall durability and take it to the next level for a small investment.

I regularly soak all my Plastic parts & tires in WD40 while they're sitting in the sun, it keeps plastic and rubber... hydrated, for lack of a better term. The effect on tires (especially on the road) is instantly noticeable and it keeps plastics rods, arms and such from drying out and going brittle. And its a great way to but a nice shine on everything. Thanks for the Movie, Bro 👍🏻

I’m a little late to the party but.. the wd40 deal has been around for at least the 20 years I’ve been playing. I”ve never heard about it contributing to flexibility. That’s awesome. It does displace water, hence the wd and makes cleanup a breeze. I use it after every outing. Great channel, PEACE!!!

Not to mention that if you send your 6s Kraton or outcast (Typhon can take it) more than 20ft, your chassis will bend. I had to put the $130 M2c chassis on my Kraton already. And that's not counting the $ for the shock towers and chassis braces and upgraded servo and servo mount. It's easily $800+ of upgrades on each of the 6s rigs to make them more bashable and they STILL BREAK more than the 3s and 4s line.

@CCxRC 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah. It’s like monster jam though, depending on the rotation speed at the end of the flip it can end their run with a break or bounce and let continue. My indecisiveness because I wasn’t planning to flip or bash led to a late rotation and increased G-Force on impact. I also feel like the factory may not have cured that plastic properly. Regardless, the new one took some big hits and kept going for me. Already run and recorded more videos with it. I’m loving this truck. Even raced it yesterday at Diggers Dungeon.

Hey all. Awesome video, definitely something to learn here. I am new to RC trucks (have an Arrma Granite) and have a quick, probably "noob" question... I noticed that just like in the video, when I push my car by hand (unpowered) there is the same grinding noise coming out from the "gear-box". I did open it to check on the pinion and the spur... and they both look perfectly fine. Is this grinding noise just normal (caused by the friction) or it should be like super smooth and quiet? Help would be super appreciated :)

@icy_rx 4 жыл бұрын

K A I received mine a couple of days ago and it’s the same way, It don’t make the noise when it actually drives so I’m sure it’s normal. However I’m having issues with my slipper clutch staying tight, after about half a battery it comes loose and I have to tighten it again. Gonna be shooting some emails later to see if I can get it replaced under warranty

Recently sold my Outcast 4s to a neighbor that I just got into RC and then I bought a Maxx. Enjoyed that for a little over a month and did all kinds of upgrades. But I started missing Arrma. So I just sold my Maxx yesterday and bought a used highly upgraded Kraton 4s. Cant wait to get it. I have some Zeee 7000mah 100C 4s packs that are gonna make the thing rip for sure. I do have a question. Whats your opinion on the STX2? Ive never even used one despite having several Arrmas that came with it. I always yanked it first thing and put a Flysky FS-GT5 receiver in them. The one I just bought has the Spektrum included, but I am most likely swapping it out with the Flysky again.

You sure make an argument for soaking the plastic in WD-40. I have to admit that arm broke way to easy. Do you just spray the truck down and not wipe excess off for 24 hours, or do you take it apart and soak the parts covered in WD-40 in a bowl? This sure lands and drives off way better than the Maxx. Maxx lands like an over inflated basketball and the Kraton lands and drives off. Did you use the big ramp with the Maxx? I don't remember it flying that high. Are there any other racing companies making monster trucks like the Tekno MT-410? Can you compare those to the Kraton and Maxx? Thanks

Just buy some RPM arms they are almost indestructible and are not much more $ than the stock ones

Why not use loctite on slipper?

Well, about that wd40 thing.... i heard that a lot now on different channels.... i dont think its a good idea. Silicon spray might be good for the plastic. As well as the tires (slippery tho). But wd40 is only weakening the material on long term i think. That's why it flexes more i guess. Just my two cents on it.

Yeah. Doesn’t actually seem to help from tests I saw.
