To me that seems more like 4S then 6S.. i can even hear your motor sag on the top side.
By contrast my unit geared up is insane..my Nitro's will run 50 MPH and the 6S Kraton smashes them badly on the top end, hell at a 45 MPH roll the Kraton will pick the front end up so violently that it will slam itself on the body so hard that it bounces back onto its tires.. Gearing makes a big difference and a 6S system is capable of 60 MPH like nothing, your rig is either not set to full power, your batteries are bad or your just undergeared and not loading the motor....
I kid you not, my 6S rig is soo crazy I can't hold it on top end, it just flips over on itself pretty much at any speed... It wasn't till I geared it up did I really start seeing the power of the system, on stock gearing it wasn't being loaded... I even ran mine on small race tires with stock gearing and it was terrible, lacked power, wouldn't wheely and had no top end...However once I geared it up the power felt like it tripled...wheelies violently, wicked acceleration and at least a 60 MPH top end..The electric motor accelerates at a fixed rate and the gearing amplifies the performance, if you gear too high the system gets hot, you gear too low and the system isn't loaded enough to make power....

Pretty amazing. 7 runs, beating the thing, nothing broken. Much better than the Nero experience. This platform is bulletproof, my Kraton has only broke a few times and I jump it extensively. I'm going to do jump session for this this weekend.
Here is my last Kraton jump session.

Here's a comparison of the tires against the Badlands 3.8 and MX38:

Can anyone that has the truck post dimensions and weight of the tires (without mud
) please?

Truck drives great. Interesting, on this truck the stock servo feels fine, don't think I'll upgrade it. On the Kraton it needed more. Perhaps short wheelbase makes a difference.
Jumps great. This is on 4s. Shock weight, 35 front, and 30 rear. Diffs 60,000/150,000/10,000

I was curious about the replica Proline Badlands as well. They're 6.8" diameter and 3" wide.

. Based on my location I get EU price right away, 38 EUR for a set, that's a bit less than Prolines typically cost here.

Billy, look at post #39, for comparison between Kraton and outcast.

Outcast looks to be pretty awesome. If I didn't just order the Big Rock i would be ordering one. Just hoping the Big Rock treats me good. I may have to sweet talk the wife over the winter and still get the Outcast.

If you want Sparks there is a much easier way. They are called Tail Devils. Designed for skateboards. I had them on the wing on my ERevo.n
Not best video. From few years ago

Billy, so what do you think of the Outcast so far, has taken some serious abuse and still running strong. I also put on the tekno orange springs and I really like them. I run Tekno springs on my Kraton too.
Lookin good.
