HERE IT IS!!
KRONOS XTR!!
FLYSKY FS-GT5 & FS-BS6
HOBBYWING XeRun XR8 Pro G2
HOBBYWING XeRun 4268 2000Kv G2
DS3235 35kg Digital RC Servo
And a shiiiiaaattttt (poop) ton of OEM parts because somehow he knew i will be needing them!

 

[Horatio]

Nice rig!!

It will be interesting to see what you modify in due course...

I note that you have a very interested assistant. Your black cat would love ours - also well into RC!

I would love to hear how the XTR drives compared to your Kagama!

Thank you kindly sir!! Haha there's more assistance then I can ask for hahaha!

They help keep me distracted and unorganized everytime! Lol they are the sole reasons why i had to get all magnetic trays or else it's GAME ON!! Let's see how many screws I can knock off the table before dad flips his poop lol. I'm a huge animal lover! 5 peepee-head cats and 2 asshole dogs that I love to no end lol!

That picture of your kitty made my day!! Tell him/her i said PSST PSSTT HEY KITTY KITTY

MODIFY!?! LOL what better can I do!! Kidding
Ohhh I'm thinking hard here lol... I have to make the wife happy for a little while before I can dive back in on the bank account again tehe...but don't you worry!!
Also the pay in 4 takes some of the sting away so I have that angle to pitch when the time comes to "Hop-up" this bad boy!
(No one says Hop Up anymore... how come)?

I got nervous about the receiver not being gyro but it's built in...

Also the front shocks seem terribly soft! Like barely any resistance if that makes sense... I push down let's say 2 inches and it only returns an inch... make sense? Ugh I haven't ordered oils yet but I guess that's going to be the first now... hmmm. Any advice or thoughts on this? I'll try to post a clip.

Thats a score with all the spares even got the spare body too. I’ve pulled the trigger & ordered last of the upgrades I’ve planned for mine, more shiny parts & a couple other little mods think that should be about it for my Kronos build & get it finished soon.

Doesn’t need any mods really , only just noticed carbon inserts on bottom of arms nice but personally I stick them on top just for the looks, just rebuild shocks see how they feel could change springs for stiffer if still feels soft after new fluids. Must be one of the early Kronos xtr as doesn’t have spring steel outdrive cups, could change them down the line, if break an arm can upgrade to kagama arms. Other than that it’s want more than need to modify things. Just enjoy it.

Seen some say Kronos drives a little nicer, different diff location & Kronos sits a little lower stock out the box.

I can't wait to see what you drop on us! I'm sure it's going to be AMAZING!! I wish I was at the end but I guess the beginning is just as fun!

Yes I'm see that too! Oh well like you said there's things I can do and I will probably switch them and or just add the kagama arms since they are bulkier. Not sure if longer though. The motor is an on road motor with a turbo timing sensor.... not sure this is the motor I want as I'm 95% off road driving..

https://www.hobbywingdirect.com/collections/xerun-8th-competition-motor-g3
So ya after reading... the on road motors are NOT IP5X which is their patented dustproof design.. only the off road motors are. Yay. Not a bad motor it seems though. Just not what I want for this bad boy!
I still have the arrma typhon 6s esc motor... just don't really want to do that to a corally rig... so motor, shock and diff fluid... OOOOHH HUNNY CAN I ORDER SOME STUFF??!?

Usually the 4274 2250kv recommended for trucks but do 4268 1900kv also might stay a little cooler both for off road use. Vid might help learn a little about esc skip the soldering bit get to setup, think yours is g2 but have vid on g3 also if thats what you have. You can still use that motor off road but with openings on case dirt or debris could hurt performance or kill it, could try covering openings with tape or a heat sink & send it replace it when it needs replacing

What a great find especially with all the spares!!!! Kronos is a great driving car, liek other be interesting to see how it drives compared to the Kagama.

I had that a version of that esc on a previous car. I fantastic performance, but I don't know if it's fully waterproof

It's not even dustproof. It's for on road really strictly from what I gathered..... but a nyon dust cover will make it an off road in not time lol... I was given adive to just send it so... once the cover comes she will get her wings

I believe those systems are quite expensive. If you don't think you will use them in the future you might be able to sell or trade them for a offroad system.

Yaaa it think I'm going to pull out the esc and motor and see if I can get a trade or money to get the off road motor. Just to be safe. Honestly besides not being element proof like off roads can be, it's still a banging ass motor... so idk... anyone on here wanna trade?! Lol

 

[Horatio]

The off-road version is very similar - but with less perforations!

Keep the speed controller - it's water and dust proof. The motor can be described as 'new other'. No doubt still has it's box, right?

Just get a replacement motor.

My 69mph run was done with a £50 Surpass Rocket Motor, 4292, 1780kv (4200watt). In fairness, it still works well.

Yaaa lol. DUST COVER ORDERED! I'm sure I'll kill the motor if I don't replace it.. that's how my luck works! Though I'm looking into making a smaller dust cover that will provide the best chance for protection while allowing maximum airflow. I'm using this material. https://drainageproducts.us/6-x-100-white-drain-sleeve-filter-sock/
There's a smaller package that's around $10 the link wouldn't copy right for me but I wanted everyone to be able to read the product description if interested. It's obviously not waterproof but it's sewable
Very stretchy and strong. I used a piece on my Kagama with safety pins and it worked just as well as the dust covers! JUST REMEMBER ITS DESIGNED TO ALLOW WATER TO FLOW FREELY SO ITS 100% NOT WATERPROOF!! LOL

No box. I bought the XTR off ebay. I'll see if the guy has the box still.... he seems like that kind of guy that saves everything... I should probably start doing that as well
I'm going to post the system online see what happens... I just made sure it works and it definitely does!... I relocated my front shocks to a more vertical stance and also tightened the collars 2 turns... that definitely helped give more stiffness to the front but I for sure need to add oil. I dropped the truck from let's say 3ft and the front chassis slapped the ground like there was no shocks at all.... thought I broke the damn thing it hit so hard ugh. I want to run 600cst in the fronts and 400cst for the backs... any thoughts? Lol GOT OIL?

A little light on the rear by corally recommendations. Can swap to hard springs also if needed.

Very true. I'm getting way ahead of myself and not looking at the TC recommendations first! Thank you!

 

[Tommyguns89]

How do you tell if the shock spring is hard/med/soft? Thickness?
