Mounting a Traxxas Sledge Body on an Arrma Kraton | Clipless Body | Basherqueen Shock Towers
มุมมอง 1.2K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Video about my issues installing a Traxxas Sledge body on an Arrma Kraton. The shock towers are Carbon Fiber and made by Basherqueen - they're available on ebay. Along with the shock tower "adapters" you need to buy the Traxxas Sledge body mounts and a Sledge body. The body mounts affix to the Basherqueen towers and allow you to mount the Sledge body on the Kraton once everything is installed. ...
Is the Tekno ET48 2.0 a Good Basher?
มุมมอง 4.4K2 ปีที่แล้ว
My opinions on running the Tekno ET48 2.0 as a basher, with some comparisons to the Arrma 6S EXB line. Note: Looks like TBR actually has bumpers out for these at the time of posting, they're not my favorite but at least there is an option. I'm of the opinion it's a bit lightweight for serious bashing, but it drives amazing! Check out the video to see why!

WE G39 Airsoft Gun Lower Receiver/Trigger Pack disassembly

Disassembly video. Be warned there are a few difficult parts to this, and reassembly is difficult as well. Make sure you look over everything as you dissasemble it so you know how to reassemble it. If you can't fix your gun, I warned you. If there is enough demand, I'll make a reassembly video. But since it is hard to film that (it takes me around 1/2 hour to reassemble it) it would take me a w...
lmao yea ok. the kraton is made of butter. pins snapping all the time, drive cups not lasting long AT ALL, dogbones popping out CONSTANTLY even though there absolutely nothing wrong with anything, diffs giving up, shit bending all time, the screws for the rear wing snapping off in the bulkhead super easily. shocks leaking like a sieve after only a battery pack or 2 (leaking immediately from the start after completely rebuilding). nothing lasts long in that car. i dont bash very hard or jump very high at all either

lmfao
You're gunna want to add some arguments to your "lmfao". Especially with the pricepoint and features of the newer Kraton EXB V2.
does it have the 6s diffs? or plastic ones
They are metal but not the same as the 6S diffs. Different design.
@@TheFatAssCat ok thx
Great review! good comparisons thanks
What size is your battery? Have some 9000mah 4s
That SMC pack was 8000mah (was originally a pair for my Xmaxx the other one died)
great review thanks!
Awesome im waiting on mine...i think next year Arrma will upgrade the 6s versions
how is it compared to the traxxas slash? i never owned any short course trucks. i am also wondering if it's better to wait for the kyosho's new tacoma to come out...
It's more powerful but definitly needs more space. The 1/10 scale trucks you can run on your average street, park or even backyard, this guy needs space to stretch its legs. The Kyosho looks great too, but it would be hard to beat on without feeling bad lol.
I like arrma 4s line , but the part availability is terrible . I waited months for a plastic outcast 4s chassis. Definitely gonna be the same case here .
Yeah, for me this one isn't a big jumper. My other cars can handle that. Its a great driver, and without the big sends not a huge risk to the chassis. Very low maintenance, I've been enjoying it.
@@TheFatAssCat yeah I feel you . I would of got me one if I didn't have the Mojave exb already. The 4s line looks fun
Looks like you are one of the first guys to get one! I was the second guy to post running footage outside of Horizon Hobby. I 100% agree with all of your points! Especially with the battery tray 😅 I figured it out though, no issues after I sat there for 15 minutes trying to figure it out 🤣 Nice vid man!
Very good review. I appreciate the upfront opinion and clear explanation. I agree that it’s okay to turn a racer into a basher when the racing days are just not happening. But probably better to buy a basher if you only intend to do so.
Man I don’t know how all of you got to yours fully assembled. They didn’t have the key rings and pins attaching it to the drive cup assembled. Getting that key ring around that shit is a nightmare. I just ruined one trying to get it on. Gonna try some rubber O rings instead.
They must have done so to cut costs or somthing. Disappointing when they change a product that way.
Thank you! Seriously . You saved me from spending $1,000 building a Tekno to bash. My Talion EXB and Notorious are where it's at.
hello bro nice video .... tell me what you like best et 48 or kraton what do you recommend
They do different things. I mostly bash, so the Kraton is what I run the most.
This came in clutch
Dude I agree with you 110 percent! I have went through the exact same progression from sct410.3 to et48 2.0. My experience has been the exact same as yours! Landed my mt410 on it's ass in the grass one time and it bent the chassis and shock tower! Never had that happen with my arrma 6s rigs!
It's not a XMAXX! If it was then they call it the XMAXX - 2. It is designed to race as their AD's says so. So it doesn't flip. Oh well. It is for speed and lite bashing.
I mean... it's like... 65% xmaxx lol. Just lower slung and wider. Ours has taken the abuse thrown at it so far without much thought. Definitely not the one I'd take to the skate park though.
i mean i dont run my brace in the xmaxx anymore lately its a paint work on the xmaxx with it on and yes it breaks easily but doesn't add damage by not having it from my experience. and ye the body clippers are in a really terrible place to dismantle the truck.
Nice truck ✌️
Nice 👍🔥
Pinned error correction: I realized that I'm likely overvolting the Traxxas servo at 7.4v from the spektrum ESC so with the stock ESC at 6v the servo might feel a little slow.
Yea agree not a fully capable basher certainly designed for track racing on prepared surfaces where it excells. If bashed rocks pelted from the fronts bounce around the rear suspension and end up inside the cabin where it can damage spur, pinion and center shaft a little too often. Rocks can get wedged in the gaps of rear drive shaft and hinge pins. A rear stone gaurd is a must in these circumstances. Front arms have a lot of leverage and because the arms are designed to be flexible the softness of plastics can with a cumulation of small front crashes elongate the hinge pin holes and A/B block bushing to cause play rather quickly. It's still an awesome vehicle and responds well to tuning setups which is the hallmark difference between other bashers. A little more thought must be taken for this Tekno to be bashed responsibly that's all.
did you really just say the Arrmas come with excellent diffs? lol ok
I'd wager the Arrma EXB diffs are the strongest ones in a 1/8 scale platform. Are they the highest quality materials? No. But their ring and sun gears/pins are oversized compared to differentials built for 4S (like the Arrma BLX differentials, Tekno differentials, etc). They are certainly not as smooth or consistant as a Tekno differential, but they are made for handling lots of power, not for racing. Which is why I prefer them for a bashing platform.
Awesome Video! Thanks for sharing with us! 👍👍👍 The Traxxas plastic part fits fine with my Carbon Fiber Center braces without modification. 💪 Genius tip with the Outcast Center support 😻
I have an ET48 2.0 and it seems like a great truck so far I haven’t had a lot of issues. That said I run on 4S always and have never used 6S. I think Tekno is high quality. But I think they are built for the track like you said. I am really debating selling my ET and getting back into a Arrma Truggy, the Talion exb specifically would suit my driving style best. Tough choice. I think Tekno 1/8 buggies are awsome bashers though, I have a EB48.4 and that thing took a pounding and kept on ticking. I’m tempted to sell my Typhon TLR and Kyosho MP9 and pick up a EB48 2.0. That or a Hobao VS2e. Those buggies seem to get rave review and they look stout
My 7 year old daughter ran my mt410, with the same ESC/Motor combo, into the rear bumper of a tractor at full throtle lol. The Gorilla tape reinforced body got a small dimple that I had to pop out with a finger and it was good to go for another 2 batteries. The T-bone front bumper or something similar is 100% recommended if bashing a Tekno, similar to what Arrma does with their bumper design...it's meant to take the majority of the impact force off the front suspension components. Many of my buddies have a fleet of arrmas and I have 3 teknos. Don't get me wrong tho, I had to give my teknos the full M2C racing treatment to be as rock solid as they are. The arrmas are very reliable as they come.
PЯӨMӨƧM 🍀
👍Nice work
I foresee a cease and desist letter coming out of this
Yeah I bought these the second I saw them. Seems risky but idk, traxxas gets about $100 for this little conversation and their rival is wearing their colors. Maybe they'll let this one slide.
@@TheFatAssCat maybe I am to old and one of few that's just not a fan of the clipless body anyway good video thanks for sharing
@@TheFatAssCat exactly. traxxas will love the free advertising when every kraton with this mod looks like a traxxas, ESPECIALLY considering arrma makes a far better car. not to mention they will sell more bodys and body mounts like you said. its a win win win for traxxas.
Why i love my tekno is for me skate parks. They jump and flip and land so well that it will make an armma look like a fat flying pig. At a skate park with big pools and many angles to jump from then the tekno is nimble, predictable and you can practice your tricks better and be more consistent. I can actually drive the longer without crashing with my tekno
I just found this out myself, I loved my 48.3 so my tho. But i do agree
Hello witch Wells do you use with your tekno ?
I was running the Arrma 6S Backflips
I've been bashing with Tekno for years, and decided to try an X-Maxx and Aarma 8s Outcast. If you want to spend more time bashing then repairs, go with the Tekno. Sounds like this guy hasn't spent enough time on a Tekno to be judging it as a good/bad basher. After a couple years I bet you spend twice as much on Aarma and Traxxas then Tekno.
Trust me, I've put in the time. My two key factors for me that decided to stick with the Arrmas: 1. Tekno differentials are not made for 6S power and don't stand up well, and nobody makes any worthwhile upgrades for them. You simply cannot bulletproof them. 4S is fine but you lose a lot of bashing performance. 2. All of the upgrades you'll want for the Tekno are going to get expensive in a rig that costs $200 more than an Arrma Kraton EXB from the start. Drive what you like my dude. My Tekno SCT410.3 will be sticking around for a long time as both a racer and a basher. These Truggies on the other hand don't really keep up with my dedicated bashing fleet so, I'm going to keep them on the track where I think they belong. I bought into the hype a couple years ago when I decided to pick up a MT410 and I just wanted to make a video expressing my opinion. Bash on 💪
comes down to driver skill too! Not as forgiving of a platform but more fun and smooth
Same here, keeping my ET 48. 2.0 for a mild basher/ pure racer and got the Maxx V2 for heavy bashing and planning to get a Kraton EXB for a more durable/heavy weight basher..
Many thanks for this video! Trying to decide on whether to sell my Kraton v4 with many m2c goodies (including chassis) in order to pickup an ET48.3 (also with an m2c chassis). I do some medium level bashing on 6s with my Kraton, however, my latest obsession has been running a local outdoor track with it. It handles like a total pig on track. Can I get away with some moderate bashing with the Tekno? 15 to 20 high airs with downward sloping grass landings is the most common bash setup for me.
Great video, I have a 410 kit waiting for assembly this winter, I bought it a few months ago but had no rush to put it together while bashing weather was good. I also have a fleet of arrmas 1/8ths, think, that are almost all exb’b or been upgraded to exb spec and there bullet proof! Even the v5 stuff is pretty damn stout… you don’t get the metal braces or LS diffs, but you can buy eBay braces all around for $25 and truthfully I like the regular diffs tuned to LS with heavy fluid almost as much, either way, for bashing arrmas are top of food chain!
Thanks! Man if I had a BMX track or somthing similar I would have liked the MT410 so much more. Regardless it is a fun build and drives very well, you'll be pleased. For me most of my spots are grass fields so the ET48 with a little more weight and larger tires seemed ideal, I just am not sure it is for me. Drives great but for sending stuff off ramps like we do it falls a little short imo.
Having suffered the parts failures on the ARRMA 3S line (still ove my big rock, it really flies so nice),and having seen what breaks on the arrma 6s rigs, I went back a step and rather than a Tekno I went buggy instead and Hobao Hyper VSE and it's a damn tank, and the roller is only £230. Was temped by the tekno but decided on something with more parts availability here in the uk. Glad I did now.
I've been tempted by a few Hobao's over the years, especially their 1/10 truggy. Seem like a great cross between bashers and racers like Arrma. The Tekno is still great quality stuff but for bashing, quite expensive!
@@TheFatAssCat the overall quality was what drew me to the to the teknos in the first place, I've seen a few different TH-cam rc people with them and they seem to perform really well. The hyper is superb though, I've been really impressed with the handling the only weak spot I've found so far is the shock pistons. If you stack it really badly somehow then they're easily shattered. The driveline is incredibly stout though and there is a surprising amount of good upgrade parts both manufacturer and aftermarket.
Great video brother. I agree with some and disagree with some. I had Tekno MT410 it was a great basher no doubt and I recently got the Tekno ET48 2.0. Optional basher bumpers would have been awesome for the 2.0 I totally agree. In terms of upgrade parts M2C got you covered. In terms diffs? Proper shimming is key to long lasting diffs. What I love the most about Tekno as a basher is precise handling and superb air control. They're as good of a basher or maybe even better bashers of dialed in and tuned right.
They can't be beat in drivability that is for sure. The price to get them aftermarket tough is high though! I am just hoping to avert a repeat of my V4 Kraton that had a lot of great aftermarket bits but could not keep the diffs together (it was otherwise a total tank). The EXB arrma lineup has been a game changer for me, big value and no more blowing diffs if you go big power. I still have the ET48 kicking about (put the motor/esc into my Maxx for now) and we'll see, if others have luck going big I might follow. I think I've spent the rest of this year's RC money over black friday weekend lol. Rock on man!
@@TheFatAssCat Well, my Kraton EXB is still blowing diffs... I'm considering going for a proper truggy kit and away from Arrma 😅
The crash that destroyed the shock also broke the front bulkhead, which takes a while to replace. It seems to be a weak point in the tekno platform as I've also seen racers with similar breaks. Just hard to say the Tekno is a better platform when the EXB Kraton roller is almost $200 less and all around a better basher aside from the steering.
Do you think the arrma diffs are more durable then the Tekno diffs?
I do believe the Arrma EXB differentials are stronger yes, the MT48 2.0 diffs are not all that different from the MT410 differentials. If you shim these right and don't add a lot of weight the ET48 2.0 diffs will probably last a while. But from the facebook groups I've talked to a number of people who have blown diffs on these. I've only seen a handful of blown EXB differentials, and there are a lot more people bashing with the 6S EXB arrmas than the Tekno.
do you know if they are ok for widemaxx equipped maxx?
I have not used them on the widemaxx myself but I do know from the facebook groups that they do work with the widemaxx kit. There is a lot of extra spline on each end of the driveshaft so it still works. Not sure if it would hold up terribly well to 6S abuse but 4S is mucho bueno.
@@TheFatAssCat great. Thanks heaps for the info buddy 👍
Good to hear. I bought some GPM driveshafts for my Granite BLX 4x4 V3 afternoon snapping off some stock driveshafts. Do you still have this truck since it's been like a year now. If you do, how much are those gpm driveshafts holding up? Thanks!
Do you have wheel wobble on the granite with the Gpm driveshafts?
What are those wheels/tires? I like
They're Traxxas Maxx Chevrons. They might have blown up when I went 6S but they were real good for 4S. I would probably go with the Outcast 4S tires though. They've been money for the Maxx and MT410
My dealer send me e maxx driveshafts 😡😡😡
Use Hot glue the pin wont fall out
The plastic ones are like $6 a set and fit all 4 wheels and I’ve yet to break one with the stock suspension. Could buy 10 sets of plastic ones for the price of those.
Yeah but he is using bigger heavier tires than the stock ones an he is running 6s on his rig. The stock plastic ones would be twist and break off quickly.
Hey buddy are these still holding up for you ?
Yessir! Even been running them on 6S since December.
Junk. Bent one first battery.
Bad luck mate. Been running em 6 months so far and even on 6S. Though I stay off concrete.
I liked the wheels. Can you tell me what is the model number of these wheels.
They're Traxxas Maxx Chevrons. Great performing tires but they didn't hold up as well as I had hoped, though the set I had was a little old and I didn't vent them. Part number for the tires is TRA5171 . I had them mounted on Traxxas TRA8671 wheels if I remember correctly.
Do these axles work with the stock configuration without the widners?
Yup.
