Was curious about opening my ESC Module to maybe upgrade my Receiver on my Kraton 8s and luckily this video was one of the first ones. I love the camera view and narrating, I love this new hobby I recently got into
i didn’t realize how old this was but i sure needed I never thought it was going to be this EASY 😮 I’m shocked been looking for a video like this for a few months. i bought the EXB version it was missing wheel wrench , it had no glue on one tire, left upper arm broken with like a crack and a lot of slop, all shocks leaking from bottom... i just received a care package basically even sway bars took. thank you 🙏 did i need this
Good to see you keep your fuilds up. 😂 Good vid. Tidy Rig too. Enjoy. PS: It is better to take to skid plates off before you slide the rear and front and that way to dont damage to O'rings that seal the lower diff housing. Up to you tho.
Excellent instructional video, to the best of my knowledge your the first owner doing so. Much appreciated, (saved). Very nice blend of bashing videos and with these instructional video. Makes your channel a one stop shop.
The thick bead rolls in the chassis are exactly what these trucks (including the 6s versions) need. I’ve said it since the v4 came out. That being said, if there was a way to extend the bead rolls the entire length of the chassis, it would not bend near as easily (at least not front to rear). That may interfere with the attachment of the font and rear diffs, but I’m sure they could figure it out. Where do bends normally occur? Right at the front or back, where the chassis narrows at the front and rear bulkhead attatchment points. That’s where those bead rolls are needed most. This would lessen the need for pricey aftermarket chassis. Thanks for the tear down, informative👍🏻
But if the chassis were not to bend so easily there would be no need for the aftermarket high dollar chassis everyone's buying.Its all apart of there strategy 😉
The highest the Max5 puts out is 7.4 and from what I can see that puts the 2290 at 694 oz. Not enough. Plus I know the optional electronics mount is due very soon 😎👍👊
@@bicketybamRC Thanks man. I was able to get my Kr8ton apart super easy and straighten everything out. Had a slight twist in the front due to a concrete pipe shooting up out of the ground when I wasn't looking. It's all good now. Keep up the great videos.
Nice breakdown and tips of disassembly Ed!👊Very helpful info to a lot!! I don't usually take time to do vids like this although I've been asked to a lot!😂I even hate doing unboxings..I leave that to the professionals! I just want to bash!!😅🤘👊👊🍻
I hear you, Eric. I don't do many but I figured since I was tearing it apart anyway I would try and help some people out. I remember when I first started with Arrma 18 months ago. I relied on "How to" videos all the time. Now I just wing it 😎👍👊
@@bicketybamRC first day out with hit a cement light pole. Broke front bumper and bellcrank so bummed. It ripped until that happened. Thank for your videos. Reason I bought one was for its durability.
The black connectors on the end of the motor fan wire and the ESC fan wire on mine was broken off during a crash, can those ends be replaced or can those wires be soldered back inside?
Have you had your shock bodies apart yet? I got some hotracing upper and lower caps and cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove the lower cap that the shaft goes through.
Great Video buddy 👌 👌 First tear down I've seen on UA-cam of K8S! Can you tell me please what you use to heat up Threadlocked Screws? I use a Soldering Iron which works most of the time & gets in nooks n crannies, but sometimes just not enough heat!! Do you use torch maybe? TIA
Yes. I will be adding a lot of mods to this beast so I'm sure I will have it apart I'm the future 😎👍👊 One thing I wont be taking apart are the diffs. Man they are huge and so well made. I wonder if they could be retrofitted into an Xmaxx 😂
I think if you're into RC and not taking things apart a lot, you're doing it wrong. :-) I'm personally glad to see this is such a breeze to disassemble into respective modules. Nice engineering.

thank you 🙏 did i need this
Just ordered this truck. I found your presentation very informative and enjoyed watching-even though 2 years after you produced it.
Thank you!
Nice dude! I just landed from a work trip and I'm literally driving right now at this moment to pick mine up. Super excited.
Nice video. These types of videos are really useful, and seem to just get repeated views over time.
Well done!
Awesome instructional video.👍👍👍. Might be using it again. 👊🏻👊🏻
Such a beautiful chassis.

Wow. You wasted no time taking it apart. 👍 Chances of me getting one is more likely the more I watch vids like this

Loving the videos bro learning a lot 💯💪🤜🤛🤝🤙💯💯💯

If you have to replace the servo saver, would you have to readjust the servo when you put on the new servo saver?
14:14 Wow, that was a near miss... Can't rebuild that as easy!!! LOL Great info.
Would it be ok to use a heat gun on the screws under the chassis cause they are way to tight and must have a good amount of thread lock
Instead of waiting for a bigger servo mount, why not use a reducer and get a Savox 2290sg? Over 900oz of torque at 8.4v in a standard case
Did I just see dual droop screws per arm? I was looking for them thinking "wow wonder how big those monsters are gonna be?", then saw dual M4s🤔

Great video! Can you tell me how much the front should kick up when laid flat on the table? I'm going to check mine this weekend thanks to this guide.
I'll measure the angle in a bit.
Hi Ian. I used my angle finder and came up with a kick up of 8.3 degrees 😎 I hope that helps!
@@bicketybamRC Awesome. THANKS!!
@@bicketybamRC Thanks man. I was able to get my Kr8ton apart super easy and straighten everything out. Had a slight twist in the front due to a concrete pipe shooting up out of the ground when I wasn't looking. It's all good now. Keep up the great videos.

Have done a video of how to change the steering bellcrank kraton 8S?
I have not but it's not that hard. I think I show how to get it off in my bearing replacement video.
@@bicketybamRC first day out with hit a cement light pole. Broke front bumper and bellcrank so bummed. It ripped until that happened. Thank for your videos. Reason I bought one was for its durability.

I would just buy a new fan. They are pretty cheap. But you can repair it if you have the tools and the skill.
Have you had your shock bodies apart yet? I got some hotracing upper and lower caps and cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove the lower cap that the shaft goes through.
I have not.
Hey can u use rear shocks for front shocks I can’t find the fronts shocks no where complete i
Rear shocks are longer.
bicketybam thanks alots
Great Video buddy 👌 👌 First tear down I've seen on UA-cam of K8S! Can you tell me please what you use to heat up Threadlocked Screws? I use a Soldering Iron which works most of the time & gets in nooks n crannies, but sometimes just not enough heat!! Do you use torch maybe? TIA
I use a mini torch or a heat gun. Both work well 😎👊👍
Yeah man getting to the center diff is a bit cumbersome 🤔 Nice teardown video 👍
It's a piece of cake compared to my Losi Super Rock Rey!😂
@@bicketybamRC 😂😂 Yeah SRR like the SBR ain't easy to get to!
In this video did you change the rear cvd..?..if not what's going to happen cause i have a same issue..thanks
I can't remember if I did. What is the issue you are having? Is it bent?
@@bicketybamRC little bit it's look like your cvd..
Cause im worried if i run the rc is gonna ruin the diff..center or rear
@@hendrybudi8462 Well I just replaced mine this morning. I had a spare floating around so I did it.
@@bicketybamRC but my question is..is there something happened with your Diff center or rear when u run it or bashed it with bent cvd..?
Does HobbyWing make the stock esc?
It looks like a watered down Max6.
What bits do you use for your impact
MIP
Your going to take it apart alot lol
Yes. I will be adding a lot of mods to this beast so I'm sure I will have it apart I'm the future 😎👍👊 One thing I wont be taking apart are the diffs. Man they are huge and so well made. I wonder if they could be retrofitted into an Xmaxx 😂
