ARRMA KRATON 6S - steering upgrades - shock spring adjustment

Arrma Kraton: amzn.to/3qRXIGA
Steering linkage bearings: amzn.to/3GpTfRF
Snap ring set: amzn.to/3CjhrCu
After our first run with the Kraton there were items that needed to be address right away. The steering servo being the biggest problem, followed by steering linkage bearings, and shock spring adjustments. I’m this video I show you how I modified these items to hopefully work better. Performance report will be in the next Kraton Bash video.
In my research, I found The UA-cam channel “East Tactics,” who had already done some of these things. Certainly a channel worth checking out!

Awesome fix on the servo saver.

[@DerbyCityRC]

West coast weather Gotta love the weather.
Keep up with videos like this and always side on the favor of sending it just like the 3 s bash vid when the wheel fell off. 👊😎
How’s the old saying go if you build it they will come
Well your doing what the companies who sell Rc parts want keep this up and you’ll find it will get cheaper as the help comes in 👊😎
For me it’s been a 4 year adventure and now I am beginning to be able to give back to the community 👍💪😊
Keep up the good work 👍👍

[@DerbyCityRC]

Thanks!! Really looking forward to when I can start giving back. I would love to be apart of that. And yes, I will always add as much bashing as I can. I have another 3s bash with that smaller car coming out this weekend with even more carnage! Really appreciate the kind words! 😎🤘🤘✊

[@Shadows-RC]

You actually can take apart that servo saver. I did.
To remedy the loose servo saver, I bought the heavier duty EXB spring, used a washer/shim from ARRMA's EXB open differential shim kit as a spacer to put more tension on the spring. Also inserted some ring gear shims inside the top part of the servo saver.

Put 2 sockets on both sides and push them together this is how to take it apart

[@DerbyCityRC]

Gotcha! I see what you’re saying. Next time I have it out, I’ll give that a try. Thanks!

[@JAM76ER]

Amen.

You don't check the sway bar fpr side to side play in the diffs 😅

[@DerbyCityRC]

Well a couple things lol.
First off, kudos to you for sitting through that video as it’s almost two years old and it’s boring AF. 🤣
Two, it almost looks like I’m moving the sway bar, but I’m actually pushing on the diff cups. However, yes you should remove the axles and center shaft for a better feel of actual play. I did end up adding shims and several other upgrades in another video.
Thanks for bringing this to the attention of other people who may have thought that’s what I was doing! Lol

[@Jamesmoore-mj5ke]

I added mojave springs on my kraton stiffens up the suspension greatly.

[@DerbyCityRC]

That’s good to know! I’ll have to add that to my list!
Thanks!
