Hey rc astronaut ! I have a dilemma I have the 6s exb but I’m getting the outcast 8s exb soon was gonna sell my 6s exb and upgrade to the 8s exb my question is am I better off sticking to 1/8 scale on this one money isn’t a factor or weight of vehicle just vehicle stock for stock if you could only have one which one would you keep ?
If I’m only having one I’d stick with a 6s all day. I love my 8s trucks but they’re a lot more work and maintenance, plus when they do break it’s more expensive
Get on dudes liking the air with ur rigs beautiful? I love my kraton to got x maxx 8s but kraton good for the ramps I'm going to press that bell lol 🎉🎉🎉
@@thepatternforms859 the 8s trucks are wild beasts but more expensive to run and higher maintenance so I only get them out every now and then for that reason. 6s way more well rounded
@@StevenYDG69 if I don’t plan on jumping more than 6-7 feet and mainly just do aggressive off-roading can the 1/5 outcast 8s hold up as well as a 6s? I really love the power fun of the 8s being able the jump little curbs, crawl up and back flip off large tree trunks, run faster over more varied terrains, etc but If they are weak and break too easy it’s not worth it…. I’m not one of those jumpers sending them off huge ramps…if they are not flying high then am I safe with the 1/5? In videos I see them running pretty hard, way harder than I would run mine and they seem ok…. I’m asking bc I know videos can be edited and don’t always show the true aftermath….
@@thepatternforms859 yeah they’ll hold up great for that. Although I’ll say the traxxas 8s trucks are a little more suited for that style of bashing. The 8s arrma is great for that too, just higher maintenance and I only prefer them cause I bash hardcore
Dang dude . Couldn’t imagine hauling around this size . I just got the 6s and I think it’s huge . Seems like a special occasion car . 👍 mine felt powerful with a 4 s but I haven’t tried 6s yet .
I have the option to go pick one of these up bnib down the street . Can’t believe I met a guy who does RC full time zipping around with my little hbx 16980sa in a church parking lot . Apparently , he bought the remainder of a hobby store that was closing . Has one of these though so I ll let you know how it goes so keep posting updates every week . All the shit that breaks and looks like there’s some good aftermarket stuff like knuckles to keep the bones in . Uncles they already fixed that issue from over extending
I highly suggesting getting one of these. I knew I was getting a good quality RC, but this kinda blew me and my family away when I unboxed it. Been bashing for a couple months, 30 foot jumps, tons of bad landings, and the only thing I’ve broken was one rear control arm, a $15 fix.
@@RcSpeedFreak-kk8wj I did have to throw a fan on in the big rock, that extra weight and low air flow isn’t helping. But in my kraton I didn’t need a fan with 21 pinion, but I do notice it gets hot if I’m on a smaller area on and off throttle
Ok good to know. I had a 21t but I got 180 on the motor in 40 to 50 degrees weather. I have gone to a 17 t and still got 167. So I checked my bearings and only 2 were bad. I haven’t got to try it out with all the new bearings And see what the temps are. It’s really annoying but I’ll have to see if the bearings make a difference
Good vid dude I love my exb it’s an absolute beast just took it out for a run and took some crashes and nothing broke 💪. I agree I have no idea why anyone would buy a sledge in 2024 from what I’ve seen online. Unless you wanted to build a m2c jackhammr I do want to do that but I would get a slider on eBay.
@@StevenYDG69hmm I think both are great but for the bashing you do I think exb is your best bet parts availability but kagama from a fun factor is just like an outcast mixed with the Kraton lol I broke a few stuff on the kagama but I had asuga parts I used just a shock rod and dog bones bent but keep in mind all me being a dumb ass too Kraton though long run wins I think
@@TMIVRC I do try and avoid being here on days they work, although this particular site has never had signs up or anything saying I can’t be there so hoping that luck continues 🤘🏻🤘🏻
😂 I just wrote a short story to rc guy garage that was meant for this channel/video. Anyway, great video, and I am glad your friend wasn't decapitated. Short version - I was hit by a 12s kraton... OUCH🤕
Yessir I love my K8. 8s truck are definitely beasts I don’t seem to play with em much just because they’re a lot to deal with compared to 6s rigs but I do have a blast when I drive em.
Thanks bro!! It’s a great spot, been going here for awhile but it’s changed a lot over the years. I’m on borrowed time before the construction takes over so enjoying it while I can 🤘🏻🙏
Hello G first time here 😎 if your remove the battery tray stopper maybe you’ll have less lipo hanging out I use turnigy 5000 mah green lipos and remove the stopper as it cuts into the lipo slightly 😎 sweet bash here tho
You had some great footage. Killer smooth landings on a pile of munched asphalt are impressive!!! The slo-mo wall shaver could have been a whole other different mess. 😢 it's unfortunate for the nozer. I have a feeling it will be back even stronger!
Thanks dude! It was a good time, definitely one of my better bash spots since my biggest spot finally disappeared 🫠 She’s definitely gonna get the beef treatment 😝😎🤘🏻
Good stuff! I subbed earlier. I just built a big rock up accept for the motor. It's a tank now and definitely needs it. I tried looking up rc deuce and couldn't find it. Do you have a little more info. For that price, I might need 2. 😁
