Absolute MONSTER!! ARRMA Kraton 8S with Leopard 58113 1050kv Motor and Max5 ESC 

Tell him you've been coming to the track since before he was born and that you great grandfather built it. That will shut him up 😄.

Vas+ARRMA = Best Vids

Most important thing is you can hear the enjoyment in your voice. That thing gets around nicely..

And here I am again watching it over again, just can't get over the huge jumps

Buddy of mine overshot one of our big jumps with either his K8S or O8S and flat landed the face of the jump. We heard this "ting" sound, it was his shock shafts literally exploding into 3-4 pieces! He got the M2C 7mm ones, don't think he's had issues since. You were airing that thing out nicely! Looked like the air/speed of a 6s kraton, until you realize it's actual size and distance! I just got a kraton exb 6s and could not be happier with it. I knew they were easier to drive than an outcast 6s... but wow, it's sooooo much nicer! Keep up the good work!

Looks a blast now! Glad your more happy with it👍 shame about the breakages but that’s a lot of weight slamming down. Fair play with the guy at the end I think I would have told him kindly where to go but he’s probably best ignored👏

Some extremely competent driving there. Kudos.

Man what a beast, this truck has power for days! Super fun to watch :)

Love it mate, look forward to being in touch building my one in coming weeks!!! Let’s make it faster!!!!

Really enjoyed this video. 🔥

I have not run my Kraton in 3 months. I don't watch Kraton 8s videos, but your video caught my attention. I will bring it back out the next warm day and rip it at the park. Great video!

That's great at jumping and very quick for its size great videos keep them up

Very happy with xlx2 castle 800kv. Love the sensored system.

With great power comes great responsibility 😅 that motor is a beast 💪🏾✌🏾. It is scary how that thing flies and jumps. I miss your neighborhood races with your friends.

Man, I think I can hear the car flying through the air. Absolutely wild 🤩

Wow that's seriously powerful. The air time is huge. Seems it needs a lot of beefing up to be sent like that though. That wasn't a bad landing. I think the weight of these makes the landing very important, you can't get away with anything less than perfect.

Nice bash run Vas! Looks like you got the motor/gearing dialed in. The stock shocks and chassis brace needs upgrading for bash jumping especially how high and far you were getting it. Pretty impressive 👍

I have the same motor when this things passes by you can feel the ground vibrating. Love the grunt ,

Awesome truck and I always love your videos!

That is just insane, couldn't imagine driving something that powerful. I absolutely love it though 😄

Thumbs up for handling the male Karen. I so more than my fair share of these in the wild.

I am 💯 doing that upgrade. Thank you! I can’t believe how far you were launching that beast. 😂

Great video Aussie, good as always, happy to see you upload arrma car's, I got the outcast and I'ma thinking to buy Typhon or kraton 6s, what would you choose ? I can only afford one of those.

Nice video mate until 👍👍I'm running the 8s system in my 1/8 kraton and it's a beast now I'm very happy with it 😁🤣🤣👍

Great driving skill, amazing style. It's a beautiful bashing machine that kraton 8s

Spewing mate, that thing looks a beast.

That kraton is a fire breathing beast now vas, i remember your first videos it was so underwelming. That leopard motor is a perfect fit for the k8s

An excellent pinion grinder. Enjoy!

What a BEAST! 👏👍👌

I would've loved to see it do a standing backflip like you said it could. That's extremely impressive for such a heavy rig with a long wheelbase being able to do it.

Not sure what it would cost you to get them in Australia but M2c valves/pistons are awesome I put them in mine with a think 50 weight oil it made the truck handle and fly so much better and it lands like butter now. I haven’t even upgraded the shafts or anything yet. I may have to Palmer 800 motor out and get one of these definitely seems like he’s running right where it needs to be

With such a power system this plattform is absolut crazy

That is a very powerful K8S you got on your hands there mate. Check out the M2C brace rod ends and front motormount brace support. Replace those inner more inaccessible ones with aluminium and leave the outers plastic that way the give point is way easier to access. Those plastic brace ends are a consumable thats for sure. M2C3215 M2C3586

Sick vid bro once again

Man oh man, this thing sounds kinda scary...like you said, you got it where you want it 👍

That is a scary exciting truggy now mate.

WoooW very nice amigo 🤟🏽😎🤟🏽

Awesome!!.

Great video Vaz , I use same set up super powerful

Love my V5 Kraton 6s

M2C shock upgrades for the win 👍💪💪💪

Looks like it now performs how it should have done out of the box.

Yo, RCP, wonderful, he steals this kraton !!

Get yourself some EXB K8S shocks for the front and rear. I rarely have trouble with my shocks after that with my EXB K8S and O8S. That brace end has to be replaced with and aluminum one bud. M2C sells it. Vivaton too. 👍. Also I would recommend putting some carbon tubes around your chassis braces so that they can don't Ben like a banana. Hehe

Super dope

that was crazy how that stick got caught in there hahah

Dam you can drive so good. I would make on my buggy s,truggies ECT. Out of house window screen full inside covers. Also for the fans separately. Sick video, want a breast, nice build🏁🏁🏁. Thank you for all the help! Sometimes I take a small tape wrap on all connectors, even battery connection s. Little electric tape. Helps but still can pull apart.

I had to lower my gearing on a 1/8 truggy to deal with the loosening pinion.

Great Video! I have the same Motor here for my Traxxas X-Maxx 8S. Will install it tomorrow. 😎

Old mate couldn’t let you have fun. Unlucky landing. Need m2c brace ends , bigger exb shocks . But like you said may as well have just got one by the time you have done all the better upgrades. Nice jumping 👍🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼😜

Wow she moves! What motor mount are you using? Do you know if the “56” mount Arrma includes with the exb would work with that leopard 58113?

Stick a flier 400amp esc in it, that really wakes up the leopard. I have 12s kraton with leo 870kv, baja with 1050kv and xmaxx with 1050kv. All on fliers and absolutely mental ! 👍

That things got wings

Ridiculous! But in a good way. I find even the EXB’s are fairly limited in how much you can send them, but they’re still impressive when they get up there! Nice run!

I have the exact motor, max 5 esc, you have any problems with it shutting down? and one battery gets warmer than the other? any suggestions

The 1050kv and Hobbystar 980kv are similar in size, which would you recommend for the 8s Outcast

Yeah, all mine did was break every run. 1800.00 later I have just about have every stock piece replaced and not including motor, servo or esc. Vitavon and m2c is what your bad boy needs. Now I rarely have an occurrence. Nothing worse than cutting your run time short due to breakage and these things break easily even on the exb.

“Male Karen” love it!!! Those Kraton are amazing. I have the EXB. They are heavy but definitely a beast! Thanks for the vid!!

Sou apaixonado automodelos, eletrico, nitro e gasolina, carro lindo e 💪 😃👍🏻

When you were running 39/39 how was the motor temps? Any cogging with that gearing?

What about the tp motors 56 series. Are they any good

Crcu chassis brace under the car. Been amazing.

It seems like the car reaches terminal velocity on the drop. As long as you can keep it level, it will probably land and drive away from any height.

That motor is total BEAST mode! The 1050kv might be perfect. Your starting to find the weak points now that your getting massive air 🤩 Luckily there are upgrades for the chassis brace ends and the shock rod ends 👍 Can't wait to see more!

What size are those bullets connectors wires

do you have a link for the motor mount and slide? or any parts numbers?

Small qeustion.. your battery wires are 12awg? Or 10awg?

Hi mate absolutely love you're channel will you please review the new traxxas maxx widebody?

What battery are you useing

Great video and great running truck.did the 1050kv Leopard motor plug into the max 5 esc without charging the bullets on the end of the motor wires or did you have to change them

What’s the top speed with gearing 34/39?

What's the difference in this motor and the castle 1100kv 2028?

Good driving, can you tell me where you got the fan shroud and fans from, I’m in Australia and have the same motor

Wow those fans must shift some air with all that noise they're making.

Put a dust cover on I pit them on all my rigs

What’s the motor called 58/113

I have the exact setup in my X-maxx, it's a beast! 👍

Release the KRATON!! Ohh boy... Me likey

What’s your gear Ratio

I used this motor in a X Maxx and it was just to much motor for it. Nice video that K8s seems to run well with it….the extra weight of it will be very hard on the rest of the truck.

Hope your move went good brother!

backflip nosedive master is back

Definitely get your self a new servo there’s a lot out there that are cheap and better than stock for same price as the stock one then get you a hot racing servo saver 💯💪🏼 that’s all you’ll need

The bottom end of the brace is a big weak spot. Pick up an aluminum one👍

This motor been 2 years ago, right?

Crazy bashing!! Hahaah 😆

I'm just going to say it again... there's an appropriate use for each scale... it's physics... if you double the weight and double the lever arm, that's 4x the torque on any landing... I bought the outcast 8s just for the collection... but I won't send it off big jumps... it's broken a piece almost every run as it is... I prefer gas for 1:5 scales... and the old hsp frames and suspensions work fine... rugged and unsophisticated compared to the arrmas... but they don't break! At this large scale, size and tires and durability make the action awesome... you don't need all those fancy arrma parts... and you don't need to send it like an 1/8 scale... it doesn't even look as cool imo... the 1/5 scales look awesome tearing up massive terrain, going off natural land feature jumps, and imo making lots of petrol noise... when they're sent off huge jumps and they're made of plastic, they just look bloated and sound awful when they land, and they break every run... whereas i have dozens of hours through my gassers without any breakages at all...

That thing is a beast 🔥 That track looked sandy and loose It handled it very well No problem putting the power down and spinning out it just hooks and launches Yeah the EXB is the way to go if your going to spend that much cash for a RTR it's best to pay the difference and get the EXB and your choice of electronics I love the Kraton Cheers from the USA ✌️

EPIC K8s run Vas 😱. That Leo 1050 has gobs of power 👀. I'm running the smaller 5898 1100kv 32/39 in my O8s and it's a torque monster. Great to see her properly powered and going huge at Altona 😍. Gotta love male Karen's 😂. What a douchebag. Anyways, the EXB 8s shocks are a huge upgrade. M2C kit even more so. The alloy brace ends were something I insisted on and they've been flawless. Ed Morris with Eastern RC could get you sorted without Crazy post fees. Happy New Year. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Videos like this are what have prevented me from buying One of the 8S arrmas. I really want one but they seem to break just randomly and for no particular reason. I mean yeah that was a reasonably large jump with a non-perfect landing but still.....

I'm surprised it broke on that jump the X Max would have taken that hit all day. Armas Chassis imo is better but that's even debatable. Some favor the plastic over metal Since it does not bend. However what's not debatable is how well that Krayton handled that sandy track. I drive on the exact same kind of track here at home and I can hardly line that jump up with my x maxx or e revo. I'd say 50% of the time the traxxas are all over the track nearly spinning out trying to get enough power down out of the berms to line a jump like that up. Is it just the low wide stance of the Krayton that makes it handle so much better than the X Maxx? The e revo is More like to Krayton but even that truck seems to not handle quite as good.

I think that motor is a 56mm can. Thats the size of the hobbywing and castle 800kv

What would it do on 6s ? Just asking if it would take it down but still have a little bit of grunt to wheelie and make corrections in the air

Im still waiting for the 8s typhon that will never come...

Please tell me that location is in vic, id love to visit it looks awesome for bashing!

This motor is nuts for the price mate , how was the max 5 on temps after the bash?

Which do you think is more powerful, the leopard 58113 1050kv or the castle 2028 1100kv?

I agree that the riders have priority, it is a bike track after all. However, you were driving when the track was empty! I try to remain polite in situations like that, but inside you know what I want to say to tools like that!

Nice jumps there mate, loving it! Cyclist Karens were totally annoying. They don't like to share roads with motorist, and even now don't like to share bicycle tracks with rc cars!!! What the hell....

They permitted people to go outside again in Australia?! This RC is big fun I bet.
