The HW Max6 4985 1650kv with a 18-20t pinion is a great combo with more torque and less heat. There's more scope of power and tuneability with this system, and the diffs should take it if you shim them up 👍 And if you wanted to upgrade the diffs, the new EXB diffs have a wider tooth profile and have a limited slip option too 👍 definite upgrade for me when they're available
Really really really like your Kraton! This thing is done up beautifully and you keep it MINT AF. Really appreciate you putting this out there because this sets the standard for me now!!
1730kv leopard 4092 with a max8 or a max6 esc, this is the perfect balance and also is very reliable and will support the weight of the truck and keep the power balanced
I wish you put out the links to all the parts upgrades. Great video. Just got my first RC, a Kraton 6S, the other day. Waiting for batteries, etc. Gonna upgrade when I can. First thing, servo and cooling fan. Can't wait.
If I may offer a suggestion for an electronics package. TP power 4250 6D 1950kv motor and a Max 6. I don't suggest the Max 6 because I want you to run 8S or a ton of power, but rather because it will fit well with your theme of reliability and efficiency. I run this combo in a few 6S Arrmas, and it has been the best thing I've ever done. It does not overpower the driveline, but it is VERY healthy. And due to the fact that the system can theoretically run 8S, everything is always cool. It basically means the system.is always "coasting", even when I bash hard. It has also given me nice runtimes, simply because the system generates propulsion rather than excessive heat. The slightly lower kv is a non-issue. Simy add two teeth to your pinion and you're back to stock top speed. As for how wild it can get, the punch setting is of course part of the equation. But I have run mine at 3 through 5 on my Kraton V3, Typhon V4 and Nero. Never an issue and reliable fun by the bucket load. Could you use a Max8? Possibly, but why would you. The system's going to draw the amps no matter what, so it's just a question of whether you want to create heat or not. I have ran much bigger power in my Kraton with a TP 4070CM just for the hell of it, and the driveline is shockingly durable. With the 4050 combo, you are adding about 20% of overall power give or take, but the neat thing will be in how light and nimble it will feel on the "pick-up-and-go".
Great motor option is the Leopard 4275 2000kv. I got it from RCJuice. Awesome power paired with a max6. I did a just bash it build with that setup on my talion. Really fantastic.
Great video! I've got a tank in the works and will upgrade my electronics but will likely keep the punch intentionally as you are aiming for aswell. Safe driving sending 🛫🚀💪.
Love the vids and of the few hobbywing systems I’ve had have been super reliable even though I bash all my cars also they were a great increase in power even with the same kv, 2200 kv hobbywing is what you want you won’t regret it
Hello from BC! Very nice.. i just ordered the same chassis just yesterday. I agree motors out there are in 2000ish kv range and then jump to 800!.. not much in between.. so ill keep stock motor for now but getting the spectrum 160 amp esc ( stock isnt very good and acts funny alot). The spectum takes 8s batts but ill stick to 6s i think .... BUT... more power is addicting!.. cheers fellow Canuck !
Awesome truck and vid buddy. Good luck selling your traxxas 😕 For weight savings concerns I would have thought you would have gone M2c Goliath chassis as that's plenty strong. Either way the JBIR stuff is still incredible stuff 🤜💪
Beautiful truck dude. I got to get me a just bash it chassis 😁 If you haven't done it already, don't forget to shim your diffs bro. Team Durango TD310476 are the shims you need 👍
Still trying to figure out why he bought the truck, then replaced every single thing. He could take all the spare, stock parts and build a co.plete stock truck. Anyone do math and see if it's cheaper to build an entire aftermarket truck with stock electronics?
Quick question if you can get back to me is that Traxxas Revo still available and how much are you asking for it I hear you haven't been able to get rid of it you just have it up there on the show it's in the video that I am watching right now let me know thanks buddy
I put those axle carriers on my Senton and the steel knuckle balls were rusting which was causing it to stick so the suspension wasn't working correctly. Have you run into that issue?
Some came from HobbyWholesale out of Edmonton. And some came from Amain Hobbies out of the States. I have no idea why more shops in Canada don’t have mod parts in stock.
I've just recently started 3D printing A-Arms for the Kraton 6s. Haven't installed them but I love having them as back up. I can make several parts if you'd like to order something.
That a v3 not a v4 kraton cause mine has the red chassis brace an I am a machinist I made my diff case an housing don't do it very bad idea keep the case you have
Wow is there anything left besides the esc and motor that are stock why would you buy a rc if you have to spend so much money replacing all the part ? Iv herd the same thing from everyone who buys and arrma guess there a sucker born every minute you said it adds a little more waight but I'm willing to bet it's more like twice the waight and a lot slower. I have a revo 2.0 and only thing I upgraded was the rear toe rods and have only broken maybe 20/30 bucks in parts and my Chasse shock mounts pretty much every thing is still stock don't get it why someone would buy something that brakes so easy. I would love to buy your revo but already have one and since nothing brakes on it don't need a spare parts truck have fun dumping loads of money into the arrma and the cheap ass transmitter that arrma gives you with it not one video I watched did anyone say that it's good enough to use everyone said that it's junk and they were going to have to replace it so why would anyone want to buy an arrma?
Arrma makes much more tougher trucks than traxxas imo. I've owned both brands and since buying arrma I won't be buying anymore traxxas. I've had the revo 2.0 and the v4 kraton and the erevo was constantly breaking on me under mild bashing till I finally sold it just like he is trying to do. Also he's upgrading everything not cause he has to but wants to. Its just part of the hobby and the love of it. My v4 kraton is pretty much stock and the thing is a beast. The kraton is probably universally known as probably the toughest 8th scale on the market today. But it doesn't matter if you like arrma or traxxas.... Just buy and run what you like. I have both and since I've gotten my arrmas I'm team arrma all day everyday.
Is that why all the vids I see about the 6s arrmas all say how the chasse bends after the vary first time they take it out and why would you want to do all the upgrades just to have your truck weigh almost twice as much not to mention all the extra money no thanks ill stick with traxxas or any other car but arrmas why do you think people laugh when they say arrma tuff it's sarcasm
Brian Mahutga E Revo 2.0 shock ends pull out on tiny jumps needs modifying straight out the box limiting straps chassis brace so already you’ve had to reduce the offf road capability vxl esc fail quickly non Teflon shocks downgrade from previous model weak rod ends tyres are heavy and shred easy on 6s Traxxas is overpriced from the start and there’s no innovation plastic chassis and shock towers only Traxxas I’ve kept and kept stock was the summit excellent truck this man has decided to upgrade his truck through choice and making it last longer in time Arrma are very tough and tougher out the box than any Traxxas all rc need at some point upgrading this man I take my hat off too excellent build excellent durability and long term pleasure I’ve owned Traxxas and most of the rest and for bang for your buck Arrma is the best of the bunch excellent video sir 👍
@@tonytravers5122 I know by far the revo is not perfect but the things that break on the revo are far less expensive than the 6s arrmas I'd much rather replace a shock end for ten bucks than the shock towers which is far more expensive and more work and the chasse on the revo will way outlast the chasse on the 6s arrmas
@@tonytravers5122 you say that the revo is over priced. I'd rather spend 50 bucks more on the revo than save 50 on the arrma then have to dump 20p into shock towers and a thicker chasse and have it heavy as a tank

Absolutely sick looking truck. Got to be the best I've seen.
Myself I love the tooling marks makes it look like a well made machine baby
Can you put a list of parts changed?
1730kv leopard 4092 with a max8 or a max6 esc, this is the perfect balance and also is very reliable and will support the weight of the truck and keep the power balanced
I will check that out. Thank you.
@@JasonPerrinRCVlogs Hey buddy what front bumper is that? You never said. Thanks
That's an RPM bumper
Awesome looking love the wheels
just got mine today and am looking to do similar upgrades. great video keep them coming..
I wish you put out the links to all the parts upgrades. Great video.

Nice showcase :) just like this is good for me to view with coffee every morning also. The JBIRC look awesome
I like your Kraton brother.👍🏽 I just got one a few days ago still in the box. Arrma 💪🏽💪🏽
Love the kraton! I'm getting one next weekend and will be modding the shit out of it👍💪
Same here! Just bought mine last week, and it's still in the box. Still waiting on a few parts before I start the build.

Awesome video very nice upgrades on the Kraton great job thumbs up 👍
Love your vids man. Well presented and layout was great. Very informative and interesting. Thanks for all the work 👍😊
Hay my brother I love arma kraton 6s to yours is looking good thanks

Get the hobby wing 1600kv max 6 it’s solid and reliable
Looks great
Awesome truck and vid buddy.
Good luck selling your traxxas 😕

Let’s go great hobbies that’s my rc store
You gotta do this. Trust me. You gotta do this.
fantastic! what are the parts to buy? why didn't you put the links in the description? thank you
Beautiful truck dude. I got to get me a just bash it chassis 😁
If you haven't done it already, don't forget to shim your diffs bro. Team Durango TD310476 are the shims you need 👍
the tires are nice!
Nice build
Nice ornament to admire when drinking coffee lol I can see why, did you remove the receiver to remove the temptation to actually use it?
What would all the upgrades cost roughly
Do you like still like that RPM front bumper - I hear mostly positive but mixed reviews. Your thoughts?
Still trying to figure out why he bought the truck, then replaced every single thing. He could take all the spare, stock parts and build a co.plete stock truck. Anyone do math and see if it's cheaper to build an entire aftermarket truck with stock electronics?
Sadly your probably right
Yep
Hobbywing Max8 ESC and 2200kv motor would be nice in this truck.
Surpass 4092 1730kv motor with max6 esc I put in line on 6s and is great
Real nice
Awesome looking Kraton! Looks like it can handle anything you throw at it. Where abouts are you in Canada?
I'm liking the tbone front bumper. I got tbone bumpers on a few trucks. Think I'm gonna grab that for the kraton too. Oh wait that's not tbone?
Rpm
So if I'm getting this right, you have an almost complete Kraton in parts? LOL! :p
@Miguel Fletcher what series?
I'm confused as why y'all brought up flixzone...
💪🏼💪🏼
On this build what differential setup did you go with? I was thinking of going with all three LSD
Quick question if you can get back to me is that Traxxas Revo still available and how much are you asking for it I hear you haven't been able to get rid of it you just have it up there on the show it's in the video that I am watching right now let me know thanks buddy
How much total were those upgrades?
Really Nice truck dude! I have one question, where did you get that silver plate? I NEEED one. Please respond 🙏
Just bash it rc
I put those axle carriers on my Senton and the steel knuckle balls were rusting which was causing it to stick so the suspension wasn't working correctly. Have you run into that issue?
Maybe a 1650kv hw with max6 on 6s
Hi Jason, where do you buy your HR parts and/or GPM? I'm from Canada and it is very expensive shipping and handling.
Cheers.
Some came from HobbyWholesale out of Edmonton. And some came from Amain Hobbies out of the States. I have no idea why more shops in Canada don’t have mod parts in stock.
@@JasonPerrinRCVlogs Do you know anything about GPM Racing?
Any solutions to the wing mount screws snapping in the tower?
This is what im aiming for just not that chassis
I've just recently started 3D printing A-Arms for the Kraton 6s. Haven't installed them but I love having them as back up. I can make several parts if you'd like to order something.
I have this setup
Do you recommend a wheelie bar? I’m in Ontario Canada and can’t seem to find any wheelie bars for the KRATON.
Most of the ones for the notorious will work I used ut on my blx v4
will a 1250 spectrum Firma combo fit on kraton 6s
Are you using stock droop screws?
What are you asking for the revo id be interested in it if it was priced right
did you remove the tower to tower brace? dose it mount with the just bash it billet towers?
I know the motor fits but about esc unit
What tires are these ?
Does your servo horn look ok?
What is the make of the front bumper and where did you get it from?
Swanky K rpm front bumper. You can get it on amazon
@@Leo-ly2pm thanks! The hobbyhobby by me had some so I ordered!
How much h for the revo
how much for the erevo?
Why did you get rid of the shock tower to shock tower bar ?
Don't need w chassis
