You can fix the ESC thermal problems, with an aftermarket fan, such as Game changer, or others. You will need a separate 3S Lipo, or you can wire the fan to plug to your Current Lipos. To be able to fully take advantage of the fan. I did it to my Kraton 6S after similar thermal issues with my max6. Haven't ran into the same problem since.
They are a beast! Good combo too 👌🏻 I have the same in mine but think my motor is 1650 🤔 it's called a rocket too but exactly the same as hobbystar. Nice bash dude 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Ok that makes a little more sense. I built up a v5 instead of dealing with those issues they were having at the time. Went with all M2c almost everything and all voltage hobbies hinge pin braces except for the top front got M2c so they lock in and I promise the weight added I don’t even notice and I absolutely launch this thing. Probably 3 to 4 hundred jumps under her belt with only 2 broken wing mounts💪 these trucks are amazing. One thing I did was soak the stock wing mount in wd40 for a week and it helps a lot. Rpm wing mounts snap like a lil twig stay away. Also don’t ever put rpm arms on a v5 or exb they don’t fit also I believe they are too flexible and cause other damage like driveshafts bending. You are pretty easy on your trucks tho
Nice to see the EXB fly! You don't need a taller ramp, just hit is with more speed 🚀🚀I thought that blinking green was LVC 🤔 You said that it was thermal. I bust fan blades on the Max6 all the time. They make some 30mm aluminum case fans. They hold on with one screw fine 👍
@@JasonPerrinRCVlogs I’m using the HW 1650 combo. I think I misspoke on the teeth. I think it’s a 21T. Either way it gets too hot. Only one I had. What size should I put on it with my combo that will keep it fast but not overheat?
You should have gone through the diffs it does not take much time at all. My rear was empty and the rest had been low, the shocks needed just a bit of oil as well. Several screws needed to be tightened. Front camber needed to be adjusted so I re-shimmed the front pillow balls.
What GPS are you running? Why did you go with the Max6 and Hobbystar? Did you consider the Castle Creations Mamba Monster X 8S 1/6 ESC/Motor Combo w/1717 Sensored Motor (CSE010-0165-02 )? That is what I was looking at for my Kraton 6S EXB build out
@@JasonPerrinRCVlogs Cool thanks I will check it out. Been meaning to pick up a GPS just was trying to find out which one people use and it seems like they are all the same normally. Gotcha that makes total sense easier to use what you have especially if it is good and will work. I was just curious that is all, thanks again.
They are a big investment and most wife’s don’t like us dropping a grand plus upgrades and before you know it you have a $2000 Toy 😆 When you get one tho they are a absolute blast
I run the stock v4 electronics minus the controler and The servo. 14t pinion its beast and i run hard. Overheated once or twice when i was doing donuts but not since i got the powerhobby fans
Well the V5 kraton has a few of the exb parts on it now. Plus some of the truck was redesigned too. TBH I bought the EXB because it was cheaper than the rtr ans I had electronics for it. Unless you a serious basher (I'm not) I think the rtr would be an awesome truck.
What is the best motor and esc combo for the kraton 6s exb, I have the 185a blx with 2000kv motor its not fun to bash Please help me choose the best combo
Max 6 is the best of the best from what I hear I got the rocket 1650 kv hooked to my stock blx and it's got a bit more power is like 70 bucks than once my esc goes I will prolly get Max 6
That's the highest you have ever jumped your kraton! Really, all the money and parts you put on your cars. What a waste! You can do what you do with a rustler!

Hoping to get this soon. Already have a max 8 combo, servo and dumborc transmitter all ready for it 😃
Nothing like a nice long pavement slide on the new body 5 minutes into the first run. lol, I’ve been there.
It was awful. LOL
That "ughhh" sound. I felt that in my bones
a year later how did the 4092/max6 combo do? what pinion size did you settle with? i see a eliminator decal!
Been eyeing up the EXB on and off. Would love to have one. Maybe one day.
Same but I'm waiting for v2
@@Alphabet7 exb v2?
You’ve had this truck for almost a year and this is the first Time running it. 😝
This is my 3rd EXB :). The other two were sold to my friends.

Nice to see something other than max5 combo or xlx2 for a change lol
Well this is the 6s. Xlx2 would be huge in this.
@@JasonPerrinRCVlogs ahh, I thought that was a high kv for a 8s rig haha but still pretty cool man

Hey Aaron can you send me the link. I break so many fans that I barely use them anymore.
Just took mine out today! I need a smaller pinion. 23T. Gets hot 🥵
What motor?

Huge shout out to gens ace for providing an oversized battery that hangs off the chassis that will explode on impact.. how’s that battery holding up?

SkyRC, which is the same as the PowerHobby one.
The 1650kv is awesome. I already had these electronics so I wanted to try them in the EXB.

Hi do you recommend the hobbystar motor?
I'm so conflicted right now. Do it build my typhon into the truggy or just buy the exb
One day I’ll be able to get one!!
You will be happy when you do. This truck went right to my #1! :)
They are a big investment and most wife’s don’t like us dropping a grand plus upgrades and before you know it you have a $2000 Toy 😆 When you get one tho they are a absolute blast
How much run time did you get off that battery pack??
Probably not much. Probably got punctured and blew up since it hangs over the chassis.
If the fan size is the same size as the blx 185 esc the 30x30x10 from powerhobbies will fit
I run the stock v4 electronics minus the controler and The servo. 14t pinion its beast and i run hard. Overheated once or twice when i was doing donuts but not since i got the powerhobby fans
Hey Jason. Thought I subbed months ago but I guess I didn’t. Great video. Greetings from Brantford brother!
Cheers,
Kev
I hated them balloons tires try it with method rc you’ll love it
Hey Jason on the fence when it comes to a kraton I think it’s solid truck do u recommend the exb or an rtr and just upgrade as things break

@@JasonPerrinRCVlogs thanks for the insight its definitely on my radar
Exb plat out imo. You wont have chassi issues and all of the typical v4-v5 issues aftr a while.
Oh good!! 👍👍👍
Awesome cool!!! 😀 😁
Hello I’m running the same set up and I’m in running into overheating temps where the esc cuts out. What tooth spur gear are you running?
Stock
What is the best motor and esc combo for the kraton 6s exb, I have the 185a blx with 2000kv motor its not fun to bash

What was the servo?
I think your getting a drag slash
Those are small jumps XD

Poor kraton, got a poser for a owner!
