I finally get to test out the Arrma Kraton "Race Spec" I put together, this was mostly built from spare parts I had and was put to the test in very tough race conditions.

I ended up getting Truggy Champion for July with this build, I'm ecstatic with the result and for a $600 aud car it was very quick against some very nice Kit cars. I ended up with a 2nd and a 3rd in the races.

If you would like details of the build I am happy to post the setup and parts used?

EDIT
My new Kraton "Race Spec"!

This is a car I built from spare parts I had laying around, plus a couple of upgrades I've made.

It has Talion hubs and axles to reduce the width, a HR sliding motor mount for easy pinion changes, Tekjo diff and gearbox seals, all diffs shimmed, all fluids changed to run in Henry Lawson(amateur track) conditions, some weight removed where possible, RPM wing mount, Leadfinger Racing body and wing, full set of Plaig bearings, and fan system installed.

The power system is a stock BLX185 and BLX 2050KV

So I've gone for a setup to maximise traction, the track at Henry Lawson is very loose and bumpy. Everything is setup soft sway bars and suspension.

Diff Oils:-

Front 7k Center 10k Rear 3k (I will be changing the rear to 2k, I want a little more turn in).

I'll be running stock gearing in the diffs, I have shimmed the diffs and the wheel hexes. To start I've gone with a 16t pinion(I wanted to start with 14t but I can't find mine, thus reason for the fans). (The 16t was perfect on 4s and no overheating at all!)

Shock Oils:-

Front 35 wt with #13 piston

Rear 32.5 wt with #12 piston

This will be a good starting point I think, I can easily change things after a few runs. I'm looking for good turn in and this setup should be very responsive.

The tyres I've chosen are the Proline Blockade Truggy set.

This is basically a brand new car, but better!

Please feel free to ask any questions about the build.
