    Check the droop screws on the lower A-arms. I installed my JBI chassis over the weekend and found they all needed reset. I have read if they are not set to touch or slightly limit full extension then you are more likely to bend the shock shafts. I haven't experienced this but if you read it on a forum it must be true...

    Hi Kev.
    That's awesome.
    I've also built in a very strong servo in my BSR Berserker. It's a PDI-HV7246MG! This thing is a "Hulk" on my car. I've made my Chassis stronger with some more Aluminum on it. But such a chassis like your's is a dream!
    Great job.

    Some of you might think that we call it a drive shaft just in the United States. I have an old Chilton motor manual from the 1930s that calls it a propeller shaft so it's not just a UK thing. All we did is do what we Americans always do, rename something that already has a name. LOL

    • @SebastianLong
      @SebastianLong 6 років тому +1

      I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think they discontinued it because they weren't selling enough of them to keep them going. I think it may have something to do with it's competition from Traxxas in the form of the Revo. Just my guess though as I'm not sure if that is the reason.

    • @morganhay859
      @morganhay859 6 років тому +2

      Lane Waite probably true because they have the new erevo and udr and Xmaxx and people don’t have enough money to go out and buy one because they would rather get a Xmaxx. I guess I will just have to build one

    • @SebastianLong
      @SebastianLong 6 років тому +1

      @@morganhay859 That's probably the best way to do it to be honest. The weird thing is that the T-maxx/Emaxx are good platforms to build on, duel shocks at each corner and durable to boot. My brother has a T-maxx, but needs a motor as the guy who gave it to him overheated it. I have the Revo 3.3. I preferred the spec sheet over the T-maxx as that was the other RC I was looking at at the time. It's expensive building an RC from scratch when you compare the cost of new to the parts you need tally cost, but if you want one and are obligated to build one from scratch, not much of a choice. Best of luck!

    You need a chassis protector if any will fit. That Chassis prob cost a lot to destroy with scrapes...

    Been thinking of starting a new hobby something to replace quad and bikes but still tweakable and something I can involve my boy in as he gets older and I’m leaning towards roc cars was looking at savage x’s cause I kinda wanted to mod it to take a toyan engine at some point but now I’m leaning more towards a kraton or outcast thinking brushless is the way forward rather than nitro less people bitching about noise and constant cost of fuel and oils plus I’m looking at pre owned and the way I see it pre owned nitro is cheaper upfront but with more running costs and the potential of a bad engine where as brushless is more upfront but much less running costs not counting tweaking and replacing damaged parts
    So what do you think of a kraton in the hands of a beginner ?
