I bought a Kraton, I was going to ship it back, however the shipping is a little extreme. I have the brand new system and SMC 4500 6S batteries.

Would this set-up be adequate for the MT410? Everyone says 4S, maybe I can gear it down? I have no clue.

I put so much thought into the Kraton but hindsight now. Great truck just thinking whether I should eat the shipping or just use what I have (system, tires).
 
The Kraton is awesome! You can scavenge the electronics from it and put it into a mt410 and it will operate just fine on 4s and 6s. The servo that comes with the Arrma BLX systems is a bit weak though. The tires on the Kraton are not my favorite. I would switch them up with the backflips but that’s just my personal preference.
 
I have the Arrma BLX185 and BLX2050 in my MT410 and I love it. The thing fricken rips with 4s standing backflips. The smallest pinion that I could get to work was a 15t and that's what i normally run it with on 4s and 6s with Dboot Backflips. On 6s it does get a little warm, like 160-170 if I remember right, but nothing outrageous. I still do stop every 5 minutes though and zap it with the thermometer to make sure.

What pinion are you using with the backflips?

I've used 15t in my MT410 and that is all that I have used. With the 15t on 6s the temps were 160-170 and I didn't want to go any higher with the temperature, so I never changed the pinion and still run with the 15t. Most of my running is on 4s, probably about 75-80% of the time. I've never run back to back 6s packs, so I'm sure that helps me with keeping temps cooler.

I actually just finished up a mt410 this week with the blx185 system and it is more than enough power especially on 6s running 16 pinion. The servo is actually working too from a kraton but i just ordered a savox 1270tg. This is my new favorite rig! Im new here so this post might be messed up
 
I bought the EcoPower 120T. Still need to get the powerplant/esc. I sent it back :(

Can you post a picture of how it's organized inside, if you still have the mt410 set up with the blx180 and 2050kv . I am working on fitting the esc and motor from new kraton 6s. I am almost finished with my build but it's a very tight fit. I am considering cutting off the mounting brackets on the 185blx so it can fit like a sardine? Am I wrong it cutting it off and making it fit or should I mount the esc or the rx box?

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

I did cut them on one of my builds. I have to confess that it actually runs great!

I did have to cut the tabs on my esc to get it to fit. It fits snuggly but it fits.
