An excellent foundation—and a custom build where every part had a job.

The Kraton 6S EXB is one of my favorite platforms. For the Titanium Edition in this video, a customer asked me to develop it further with carefully selected M2C, Scorched RC and Castle components.

• Know what is already good. I praised the EXB's factory shocks and kept the standard S665 steering servo on this build. An available upgrade is not automatically an upgrade you need.
• Choose a driving character. The smaller belted tires were my preference for this precision-focused setup. A driver who prioritizes a different kind of jumping may want a different tire.
• Make the project work as a whole. The chassis, mounting hardware, electronics and steering details were developed together. The result was about control and balance, as well as appearance.

Parts from the Titanium Edition conversion: Castle Cobra 8 ESC as part of the matched electronics conversion; RPM Cobra 8 mount for Arrma 6S to secure the converted ESC and switch.

My take: the EXB is a strong place to start, and it deserves time on the ground before you decide what to change. The Titanium Edition shows one of my favorite directions for a custom project.

The video features an extensively modified customer EXB. M2C chassis parts, Scorched RC titanium components, Castle electronics and aftermarket tires are optional and are not included with this factory EXB listing.
