that the best kraton exb build i have ever seen. hands down a true exb now. salute to ya
Thanks so much dude. See what happens when you get stuck in lockdown for too long. 🤪😜🥴👍
The best build just got better. I just dropped the video if you are interested. 👍
Work of art.
Thank you. 👍 and thanks for watching.
Looks awesome
Thanks buddy. It's evolved a bit since this video. 👍
Thing looks sweet! I have the v5 which is kitted with exb parts,rpm,proline and integy and hot racing parts as well. Truck is the best rc I have ever had so far. Go get it dirty and bash it!
Thanks buddy. Our lockdown rules relax this week so I'm getting it dirty 😜
Hi Buddy. Upgraded the kraton again. New video is available to watch. Hope you like it. 👍
Next in my list are the m2c hinge pin setup. I have two rigs I want to put these on. Look awesome
The M2C hingepin kit is a great piece of kit. 👍🙂👍
😳 whaaat that has got some serious performance parts 💵than my 4cylinder turbo car 🫣 . Just got in to this hobby really amused. Good job brother 👍👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks buddy. You'll enjoy this hobby. It's expensive but fun. 👍
@@TTRC yeahh i can see that , previous one (hobby) was getting out of hand 💰 + Hospital 🏥 bills 🤣, atlest this one i dont have to look for replacement 🦴 🏥 .. yo have a good one 👍..
@HOMEOFGAMES32 still be careful. You wouldn't believe how often someone takes a 50 mph truck to the head. A few have had broken legs and ankles. I'm not even going to talk about the batteries that explode into a fireball. All great fun 👍
@@TTRC thanks for the heads up 🙏.Just getting the picture from all the angles like you said .
@HOMEOFGAMES32 well I hope you enjoy it. My best tip is bring a small tool kit out with you. Sometimes bolts loosen and it can ruin your day if it happens in the first 10 minutes. What kind of rig are you thinking of?
Beautiful shelf queen
It gets worse. Check out the channel and see what happens when you get carried away with titanium. Thanks for watching buddy 👍
Damm all I see is money. Very expensive set up you have here. And you did it right!
Thanks buddy. 👍 it's had more upgrades since then. You can see the full titanium version on my channel. Thanks for watching. 👍
I wish, that is so awesome and amazing, some day I might be lucky enough to own one
Thanks. Glad you liked the video. 👍
Very solid build.
Thanks buddy. It's getting there. Thanks for watching 👀 🙂 👍
That's super sick !
Hi John. The fan covers are Yeah Racing. I got them on ebay. I think they were listed as 30 x 30mm whirlwind shrouds. The mesh was "aluminium modelling mesh" Thanks for the comments. Much appreciated. 👍
@@TTRC Thanks for the reply , already ordered them from Amain. That's why I edited the comment lol. Can't wait to see you run it ! Take care.
Hi John. It just got sicker. New video has just uploaded. Hope you like it. 👍
@@TTRC cool !! I'll check it out !
Beautiful rig Tony! #keepwrenching
Thanks buddy. Will post some videos of it running soon. It's raining today so will wait for it to dry up a bit.
@@TTRC awesome! Check out alwaysbuilding_RC on Instagram when you get a chance. Hopefully we’ll be throwing together a TH-cam page soon.
You need to do TH-cam as I don't have Instagram. Thanks for the reply 👍
Hi Chris. I kept wrenching. New video is out. Hope you like it. 👍
you did a good job with the truck should be a beast
Thanks for that. Looking forward to driving it.
Brother this build is a tank.
Where are the Arrma Parts 😱😂🤣
I hear ya man, most of my rigs are full beefcake as well and the confidence it inspires is tremendous.
You made some GREAT choices here brother and she is sure to take a Pounding.
Good you added the bash bar with the EXB chassis as the only other option is a M2C Chassis, if you sending it it is possible you would have bent the chassis eventually.
If you could add anything, I would say the M2C rear Chassis Brace is one of my favorite upgrades, and you mentioned the M2C Bladderless ZRS Shock System... Those are amazing... If you do that you WON'T need to thicken up the fluid because thicker fluid with ZRS is counter productive.....even with the weight your running.
Great job with the video, lighting, and perfect walk through one take was perfect... Man I gotta edit my stuff because my brain takes a crap or my head is thinking faster than my lips 😱😂🤣😜
Now you BETTER send this thing! JK bro you send it to what level you are comfortable with... Give fun, see ya round brother
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and the cool feedback. The M2C shock upgrade is definitely on the list and the front and rear chassis braces will happen along with the tower brace. The one take thing is because I have never done videos before and have no idea how to edit. So I just waffle and stop when I run out of stuff to say, but I'm glad you liked it. Thanks so much again and keep your videos coming. I got the hingepin kit after watching one of your videos. 🙂👍👍👍
P.S. Lockdown in Scotland ends this weekend so it will be getting SENT.!!! I will be heading to a place called "Cathkin Braes pump track". Check out the new bashing site on TH-cam. It has to be RC Nirvana. 🤔🙂😀🤪
The tank just got upgraded to stage 2. I just dropped the video. 👍
I just got a kraton exb 1/8 with max 6 combo, my top speed is only 58 miles with 20t pinion. It slower than my erevo with stock motor. Top speed is 64 miles!!!
Not sure why. AussieRC ran it straight out of the box on a 19 tooth pinion with the max6 on stock tyres and got a GPS reading of 64mph on tarmac. 🤔 what batteries are you using?
@@TTRC 3s 2 batteries 80c, both are same battery
@@just719 I don't use GPS as I'm alright with how fast it goes already, but I would think you should be getting over 65mph with a max6 and 20 tooth. Is you gear mesh set properly? Is there anything slowing it down like an over shimmed diff? Try taking the motor out and giving it a push. If everything is free and running properly then the truck should roll freely. Otherwise I'm not sure. But there have been a few speed runs on TH-cam with a kraton exb and max6 combo. 19 tooth is about 64mph, 20 tooth was 68mph and 21 tooth going over 70mph. It should blow an e-revo away with that motor. I hope this helps. 👍
@@TTRC thanks bro
Veru Very Nice my friend, Really Great Job 😉, you did well to mount the case of the vitavon, because otherwise the rear one would have opened in two at the second jump, Another very positive thing you did is the bar bash under the chassis, even if '7075 is not a good quality', I fold it at every exit 🤷♂️.
GOOOOD the Hobbywing max 6 combo, and also all the M2c and Hot racing parts, you did a really great build, my compliments brother 💪💪🙂
Thanks so much. Now I need to go bash it and see what gives. Thanks again for the feedback.
Epic build 👍
Looks Amazing👍👍👍 I like the look of the vitavon bulkheads, I have them for the 8s but all my 6s have hot racing. Those moter fans look cool too..
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch this. The fans and shrouds are Yeah Racing. The same as the power hobby kit. They are supposed to fit a 42mm motor but were quite easy to modify for the 49mm can. I just moulded the aluminium mesh to fit inside the fan shrouds.
@@TTRC well it looks awesome brother 👍👍
The only bad thing is that I have been bitten by the RC bug again.!! I have been looking at the 8s outcast. This could be bad for my marriage. 🤪
@@TTRC I've thought about the 8s outcast... im hoping arrma does an EXB roller version. 👍👍
Here's hoping. 🤞👍
That car looks like a tank now, you have have done a beaut job on that, im planning on doing the same but as and when parts break, looks awesome buddy good job
Thanks mate. I blame lockdown boredom. I just got carried away. 🙄👍
@@TTRC if you don't mind me asking how much did all them upgrades cost? How much is the worth now and is it better?
I reckon it was about £1250 without the batteries. ($1500) 🙄
Sorry, yeah I reckon it's better. I knew I would have to beef it up a bit as the Max6 combo is quite big. The vitavon bulkheads were needed as a lot of people were blowing the diffs and I reckon it is because there is a bit of flex in the plastic ones. Hot racing hubs as folk were breaking the front ones and the RadicalRCUK bash bar because of the weight. It's about 17lbs all in withe the batteries. The best mod is free and it was strengthening the battery tray. Look up Bournemouth RC for this. It only needs 2 captive nuts and 2 10mm bolts but it stops your batteries and radio gear being torn out with a bad landing. 👍
Amazing I wouldn't want to run it! It would be my awesome shelf queen 😉👍
It's not so clean at the moment, but check my channel and look up kraton exb stage 2 . It's now got full titanium upgrades. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
Looks like a piece of candy. very well done!
Thanks buddy. It currently looks like it's been dipped in chocolate and rolled in sprinkles. 🤣👍
@@TTRC As it should!
That looks awesome,have fun with it👍
Thanks very much. I just need a break in the weather and I am out there. It was actually snowing today in-between rain storms
I can't wait to run it properly. I took it out for a blast round the local park to bed everything in. Got my 8 year old boy to film a bit and he had his finger partially over the lens so I didn't upload it. It is really quick compared to my arrma nero, and the nero is a bit of a missile. Should be fun at the bmx track. 👍
Just upgraded a few parts. Video is out. Hope you like it. 👍
Nice build
Thank you 👍
Tony that looks awesome buddy , I’m waiting on titanium drive shafts to come in as well. I will say this keep an eye on the grub screw in the top front hinge pins as they like to thread and the hinge pin works it way out. I changed mine out to the standard set up then M2c towers with retainers . Love the idea of the Nero springs been looking to beef mine up . Do you have a part number or link please bud. But great job lovely truck 👍🏻
Thanks for the feedback buddy. I'll keep an eye on the grub screws. I will change the front out eventually I just need the aftermarket crowd to catch up with the exb compatibility. I did hear Rich Duperbash saying that M2C might be doing a lower hingepin kit for the exb so I'm hoping they do top and bottom kits. I also have arrma metal diff cases coming next month so there is still a bit to do yet. Thanks for the heads up The part number for the nero springs is AR330417. The springs make a big difference. Thanks again. 😊👍
One other thing buddy. Your videos are great but you could do with some more viewers. I went on to the arrma forum and asked people what they thought of my car and put a link on the site. I got about 400 views in a week and 15 subscribers. Hope this helps. 👍
@@TTRC Tony did you put the Nero springs on all 4 shocks ? Ie are they all the same length as I’m thinking I might order them tomorrow?
Yep. You'll need 2 packs. They fit front and rear. 👍
@@TTRC as I thought thank you Tony I’ll give them ago.
Another killer build mate ! Subbed you for sure and looking forward to more !
Thanks buddy. Appreciate the sub. 👍
@@TTRC no worries !
Perfect vid bro...looks great
Kip it up champ👑
More to come soon. Lockdown in Scotland is almost over. 😍 Thanks for the comment. 👍
Just dropped a new video my friend. 👍
Nice build, I got the Max8 2200kv for mine 👍
Thanks buddy. The 2200kv is a great unit and a lot lighter too. 👍
What the silver chassis brace underneath the truck?
It's a 5mm thick piece of 7075 t6 aluminium that bolts directly to the bulkheads and center braces. It's made by "RadicalRCUK". They make them for most Arrma vehicles.
Hey man, great videos! Quick question, would your front bumper work on my Kraton 6S v5 BLX? I feel like the rpm ones are too small. I want a bigger bumper.
Hi Buddy. Thanks for watching and commenting.
The EXB bumper will work on your Kraton v5, but you will need a few extra parts as the mounting points are different. The hingepin holders are the mounting points.
I would honestly stick with the rpm bumper. I run one on my Typhon, and in my honest opinion it is as good, if not better than the EXB one.
@@TTRC Alright man! I appreciate your input! Thanks a lot!
Hi mate. It looks great but after taking it a few times and really bash it. It's going to look like the rest of ours 🤣😂. I fix and upgrade what needs to be done and I don't bend chassis because I'm a retired mechanic and made my own braces that stop chassi from bending. But it's not werth me making and saleing because China will steal my idea and mass produce it like covid 👍👍
Do you run these or just build to set on shelf? Real question
They get run. Mostly on the beach or grass. I do tend to avoid mud as I'm a bit OCD with cleaning. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂 👍
Nice tires
Thanks buddy. I'm liking all your videos. You seem to get out every day. We are still locked down in Scotland. Sub'd you a few weeks ago.👍
Thanks man! I need to get me some fat springs like that. This is a very clean build. Looks strong! 👊
Thanks buddy. I've had a lot of time during lockdown to build it. If you want the springs then get the ones from the nero big rock as they are 75mm long. The standard nero is only 65mm long. East tactics has a video on this. He was also looking to beef up the suspension due to additional weight. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. 🙂👍
Sorry I meant to include the part number. AR330417 . You'll need 2 packs. 👍
Looks really good where did u get the dual motor fan
The fans are from YEAH RACING. I modified a 41mm heatsink to fit the 49mm motor. I think power hobby do the same fan kit. I got the cowls from Yeah Racing too.
Nice build there buddy!! How does the rear doff holding up for you? Open or LSD diff? Thank you.
It's holding up fine. No issues at all and I've run a dozen batteries through it. It's got the LSD plates on the the rear. The vitavon cases may be helping as they are so precise and don't need a shim. Thanks for watching. More upgrades coming soon. 👍
@@TTRC great to hear that sir! Damn it, watching your video gonna make a hole in my pocket as well. Super solid build there mate!!
LOL. Wait till you see what is coming next. You can get a quick look if you check "Arrma Kraton EXB super-build". The video is only 2.25 long. Hope you like it. 👍
Hi mate. Got to ask if you're using RPM wing mount they are the best. With original wing mount I take the wheely bar off because it breaks the wing mount every time I'm out 🤣😁
It's still the arrma wing mount and I have sheered the bolts in it already. Will look into the RPM one. Thanks buddy. 👍
Did u ever put a 21 tooth pinion on that motor buddy?
Not yet. I went to change it over and the grub screw on the 19 tooth that's on it, rounded out. Usual Arrma cheese screws! 🤣
I will need to drill it out to get it off. DHOH!
I've still not damaged the 19 tooth and it is pretty quick on it, but once it starts to wear too much I'll get the dremmel out and fit the 21 tooth. How's Monk?
what diff oils are you using , any advise on how to keep the front wheels down
I'm using 30,000 cst in the rear, 60,000cst in the front and 500,000 cst in the centre diff. What motor, esc and radio are you using?
@@TTRC thankyou 🙏 my build is similar to your max 6 20t , do I need fans or will I be OK
Max 6 combo , 20 t pinion , m2c chassis so far , iv been looking everywhere for the hot racing fixed link but can't find it in the UK
You should be fine without the fans. It's a big motor so it doesn't need to work as hard. If you want to get hot racing parts quickly then type the part number into ebay or amazon. Don’t get it from the States. Buy it from Europe, China or Hong Kong and you will probably get them within a few days. As for the keeping the front end down bit, it's just the nature of truck due to the power. 20t pinion is pretty much spot on for a max6 combo. You can alter the punch settings on the ESC and your transmitter may also be able to deliver the power in a more progressive manner. 👍👍👍
@@TTRC your the best thankyou Tony, and I'm coming to you for advise from now on
That’s an amazing build brother!!
Sub’d ya
Thank you and thanks for the subscription. I've never done anything on TH-cam before and it is all new to me, but I am getting views and subs which is not bad as I have no idea how to edit. Thanks again buddy and keep the videos coming. I subscribed to you after watching the spring video and am now considering modifying my servo mount and fan mountings to protect against shocks. Thanks again. 😊👍
Hello Tony, what motor Heatsink mount are you using
It's a kit from "Yeah Racing ". It is the same as one that "Power Hobby " also do. It is supposed to be for a 42mm motor, but it is really easy to bend it out a little to fit the 49mm can. If you are doing this then fit the fans to the heatsink before bending the heatsink to fit the larger motor.
@@TTRC thankyou Tony appreciate it 🙏
No problem. Let me know if you have any issues.
@@TTRC thankyou for your help so far tony , iv managed to get the motor fan mount , iv also purchased a pair of m2c tower braces and both chassis braces , I adjusted my esc to punch setting 2 (max6) to keep front end down , I wanted to know if you use the middle shock tower hole or have changed to outer /inner.
Still using the middle hole but have used harder springs. Sounds like you are building a monster. Nice 👍 love the m2c stuff. Want some more for my own truck.
I'm very curious as to how you set up your suspension and side height ... could you explain it to me please
Hi Buddy. There is quite a bit to it. On that truck I used heavier springs, thicker shock oil, M2C shock upgrade kit. I set the droop screws first to stop the swing arms dropping too far. Then wind up the tension on the springs enough to hold the truck up. The correct tension on the springs should allow a small drop in the suspension. If the springs are too tight then the truck will bounce and lose traction. I have an updated video on my channel for that truck and I speak about the suspension set up. Hope this helps. 👍
I like the motor fans. Where did you get them?
I made one fit from a smaller motor. The fan kit is by Yeah Racing. Thanks for watching 👍
@@TTRC, thanks for the info and the content!. Your Kraton is definitely ready for some crazy bashing!
@@robertb.4202 you should see it now. Go to my channel and check out the titanium upgrades. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂 👍👍
do you have a Total cost on the build... roughly..
On this video I had spent just over £1200. I've done more modifications since then. It now has full titanium chassis, shock towers and driveshafts along with M2C parts. There is a more up to date video on my channel if you are interested in seeing it now. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
Geez how much roughly did all the upgrades set you back ?
I did get carried away a bit. Maybe about £1800 including the car and radio. I'm about to start a typhon TLR. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
I just noticed that you watched the first video. That was about £1200. It has had further titanium upgrades since. If you go to my channel you will see the final build. 👍
The aluminum wheel hubs are reducing the play/wooble of wheels?
The "hot racing" hub carriers reduce a bit of wobble, especially if you shim them but the proline aluminium centre hubs that I am still awaiting are to replace the plastic 17mm hexes on the proline wheels.
What's total cost of this build?
Around £1400.
Your missing carbon fiber Chassis 🤔
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yeah I was thinking I could take it a little further. I went for a titanium chassis from Scortched parts RC along with quite a few other parts from Scortched, M2C and Basherqueen. Video coming soon. You will get a notification if you would like to subscribe 👍
Just dropped a new video buddy.👍
See this is my problem with Arrma. You spend a boat load of cash on them (especially the EXB’s) and then you have to break them down and go through everything because the the engineering is shotty.
Why the hell should we have to break down the diffs and apply more grease or shims??
Why can’t I just expect them to be build correctly??
I’ll hold onto my money and if they ever get their shit together then I’ll start investing it into Arrma.
Thank you for at least doing this video.
To be fair, a lot of these cars are like this. The design is very good, but the build quality is not so hot. They all compete with each other for best product and also lowest price. The Arrma Kraton is a great design but it needs work if you want to thrash it. The EXB is a new design and this was an early model so I was expecting some issues. It does do 70mph and can land safely from 30 feet. The only other truck that competes is the X maxx and it also needs work. I hope you liked the video and thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
I am really happy with my Talion EXB RTR, I have torn it apart and rebuilt everything and fully upgraded to M2C racing and it's a thing of beauty. Price of the car is just the beginning, if you can't handle that, this toy ain't for you. Batteries and tires are probably the most expensive part, and that has nothing to do with the brand. I spent a fortune getting my Savage X SS to the level of performance of the Talion EXB stock rtr.
@@UserNamedNone totally agree. I've seen some people complaining that their arrma broke after 5 runs etc. If you don't like working on these things then find another hobby.
I did the same as you with a hpi savage x. It was bombproof in the end, but it destroyed anything it hit. 🤣👍
@tony Templeton, do you have a parts list. I'd like to do this when I get my 1/8 roller.
The parts fitted are as follows.
Radical RC UK bashbar.
Vitavon front and rear bulkheads,
Hot Racing front and rear hub carriers,
Scortched Parts centre shafts,
Scortched Parts carbon fibre top bar,
Hot Racing top bar ends,
Hot Racing front and rear top bar mounts,
Hot Racing servo arm,
Hot Racing steering upgrade,
Hot Racing metal centre diff mount,
Hot Racing centre diff top cover,
Power hd s35 servo
Flysky noble nb4 radio and receiver,
Proline belted badland wheels and tyres,
Hobbywing 1650kv motor,
Hobbywing max6 ESC,
RPM rear chassis guard,
Big Rock 6s springs all round.
Diff oils - 30k rear, 60k front and 500k centre,
Shoe goo and drywall tape for the body,
Hope this helps. It runs really well but I am just about to upgrade even further with a titanium chassis, top plate, ackerman and outer driveshafts, M2C front and rear braces, rear tower support and shock upgrade. 👍
@@TTRC Thanks tony, this is the 1/8 scale right?
Yeah. It's the 6s 1/8 scale.
@@TTRC I haven't ordered from scorched before. The 8S parts will work on this 1/8 scale? Just asking cause the 1/8 is standard 6S.
The 8s parts are for the 1/5 scale and won't fit on the 6s 1/8 scale. Some people have fitted a 8s motor and ESC to the 1/8 scale but it really isn't needed. It just becomes uncontrollable. If you fit a hobbywing max6 combo with a 21 tooth pinion then you should be getting around 65 - 70mph on the 1/8 scale with 6s batteries. This is more than fast enough and will have enough power to do standing backflips.
Scortched parts are easy to deal with and they ship overseas. Where are you from?
After watching for 5 min.....
Me:.... what?
🤣👍
I understand about half of the words
I'm from Glasgow. That's Glasgow in Scotland. If you think I am hard to understand then watch "Chewin the fat " for pure Glaswegian.
Hope you liked the truck. 👍
@@TTRC I just ended up watching the video and didn't worry about the words. From California USA here. You would probably be able to understand me though. SICK CAR. been thinking about racing lately RC that is
Sorry about that. Thanks to Hollywood, Californian English is really easy to understand. Scottish English is always a bit more challenging and I'm not too bad. Try looking up "chewin the fat" and "still game". I have a lot of friends in the States and they all find it funny.
P.S. do the car racing as it is a lot of fun.
Ill give you $5 if you yelll at me that "ill never take your freedom"!
😆🤣👍🏴
I just bought 2 typhon 6s v5 last week and both broke on the 2nd run both ESC's one the wires got stripped out and the other had a cap pack wire fray due to the servo arm pinching it and cutting it, I contacted Horizon Hobby and they told me to go pound sand!......... I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HORIZON HOBBY PRODUCT EVER AGAIN!!! buyer beware
I'm not sure any of that is even possible but thanks for swearing on my channel. My 9 year old daughter saw this.
@@TTRC i hope this edit will make you feel better sir, but at the same time im not responsible for your kids
Stock chassis ..definatelly not the best
You are so right. Check out my latest video, you might like the new chassis. 👍
