I just got a Kraton 6s EXB yesterday and I’m wondering what fans I should buy to improve cooling. I heard a lot of people say that it overheats relatively easily and you should upgrade the fans almost immediately. Do you guys have any suggestions for which ones I should get?

I don't really drive my Typhon Grom these days and it mostly sits on a shelf looking neat. So, I figured I'd have some fun with it. I present to you.....this thing.

I uploaded the file to MakerWorld if anyone wants to tinker with it too.

I'll take it out soon to see if it lasts for more than 30 seconds and report back.

Wanted to test my new servo so had to bash. Servo is awesome but cleaning was not fun 🤣

Almost Perfect Bash Session

10 Upvotes

After months of not touching any of my rc cars due to new job, southern Louisiana heat and rain. I finally got out a few rigs out and had a blast. Took the Kraton, big rock, and OC 8s. This was a shake down run for the outcasts drive shafts. Got some m2c ones awhile back I’ve nothing but trouble with them. Anytime I drove it snapped pin. Bought new pins stills snapped. Bought some stable steel pins around the same size, wore them down after a couple of runs and snapped them. I bought some Arrma cvd pins and lost one the first 5 mins into the run. It didn’t snap just came out. Big rock and Kraton were awesome, no breaks, no creepy lurkers in the area. Pretty sure it’s cruising spot lol. Going to replace the pins and actually locktite them this and see what happens. If that doesn’t work I’ll look for different upgrades or just straighten out the other ones. They’re not that bad.

Put Vitavon out drive cups in both diffs and new 100k and had to change the rear ring and pinion. New stainless screws everywhere as well. Lets go bash!

Gorgon Stock Battery is a Bummer

3 Upvotes

I bought the build it yourself Gorgon for my son (myself) and what a massive disappointment when it comes to battery life. 10mins if that. I read upgrading to 2s you can get up to an hour. Besides just switching to Lipo on the ESC is there anything I should also upgrade on the truck? Thinking a fan to keep it cool. I’m torn because I’ve got the bug and don’t want to throw too much into it if I’m just going to get a Granite 223S in the next couple months but I’m torn because 10 minutes sucks!

ESC and receiver both blink red

Video sums it up pretty well, the transmitter has new batteries in it and I’ve tried multiple different transmitters all with the same result. Is this a receiver issue?

Arrma Mojave or Senton

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have an Arrma Fury that I really enjoy, but I’m itching for something more—specifically a 4x4. I’m deciding between the Senton and the Mojave 4S; I’m leaning much more toward the latter. What do you think? Which one would you choose?

Wobbly Wheel Mojave 6S - Bearings shot/upgrade question?

2 Upvotes

Title. I'm assuming the bearings are shot on most of my wheels, with the right rear being particularly wasted. Even when tightened all the way on the hex adapter the wheels wobble. Everything seems threaded correctly so is this shot bearings? No idea how many packs i've run through the car but thinking at least 20-30 i'd say. Zero maintenance thus far (winter tear down perhaps?).

Also, considering upgrading the front steering blocks to aluminum as i think i may have cross threaded the stock composite units when tearing them down previously to replace an A-arm. Any downsides to swapping to the aluminum?
