ARRMA Kraton 1/5th 8s "Complete Animal" 29T Mega pit session... 

Thanks so much Jason 🤗!!!! She just keeps getting better 😱🥰🥰. This platform is simply amazing. Thanks so much for this design and the kind words 😉🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Boss Jason please release the Outcast 8s

Thanks so much Kimberly 😍!!!! It felt Crazy sending the K8s off that big mound the first time 🤣. Almost slow motion watching her soaring past 👀. This rig feels night and day different from box stock. Finally reaching her true potential. I'll admit it's a rush to bash now 😜🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Thanks Kev 🤗!!!! Between the M2C goodies and Hobbywing set-up she's reaching her potential 😍. Feels great with the 29 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 Fantastic run brother. How are your batteries holding up? I've got the m2c hotness on it, but been holding off on motor just because I feel like I'll need to get a whole new fleet of higher quality 4s packs to handle the amp draw of the motor and the additional weight.

@@dis3nchant3d42 thanks Brother 🤗!!!! My packs are holding up great Bro👊. I did have to close my trays back up and start using yoga mat under my packs though. I'd earlier moved the rear tray portion rearward with padding in the front to change the weight distribution. That created a gap on the bottom. Turns out it was allowing my packs to flex in that gap and cracked my casings across the middle at the gravel pit 😱. Fortunately, all my cells are fine. Gorilla tape to the rescue. Now running the trays stock with padding and the truck is doing Killer 😍🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Kevin Talbot I’m surprised you actually commented

Thanks so much Brother 😜!!!! She's feeling like a BIG 8th scale with this setup 👀. So much power plus the already Killer handling 👌. I'm loving this Big Girl 🥰🥰😎💪👊👊

Thanks Brother 😊!!!! I absolutely LOVE this Big Girl 😍. She fly's and corrects so nicely. Feels Killer with the power setup. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Bro 👊!!!! We always have some sketchy moments at the gravel pit 😱. Trying to land on the ramp wasn't the best idea though 🤣🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😜!!!! Hope all is well. The K8s is quite incredible for it's immense size and weight 😱. With the M2C chassis and mount and Hobbywing set-up she's gone from fairly nuts to downright ridiculous 👀🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 🤣🤣‼️‼️.... Cheers Rich 🍻.... M2C ruling the RC upgrades for sure.... Doing great here thanks & hope you & family are great also 👍👍

Thanks so much Brother 🤗!!!! It's true, the 29 gives her that extra push with all the torque on tap👌. Big Girl is hauling ass now 😍👍👍😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😊!!!! My hope is these videos help turn people on to our hobby 🥰. Just such Mad fun wrenching and bashing 🤗. Aaron was 100% going for it out there 👀🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother Eric 😜!!!! Had such a Killer time with Aaron. It got really cold towards the end, but we kept sending it 🚀🚀. Can't wait to do more rake work and create some different lines out there 😍. Definitely had some close calls 🤣. The K8s feels great with the 29T. Finally has a perfect amount of speed and torque on tap 👍. The sounds out there were awesome. She's like an angry animal on harder throttle now. I'm super excited to try the SWB 8s 😱. Mitch is full steam ahead for 2020!!!! 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Scott 😜!!!! Another wild Fun session out there 🤣. The Kraton 8s has exceeded my expectations big-time 👀. Seemed like forever watching her floating on by. Such a Blast to drive her with this set-up. Tons of power and fantastic handling for a Big Girl 🥰🥰😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 🤗!!!! The K8s is underwhelming box stock for most 😝. Now that she's tuned and powered up, she's just a Blast to rip around 👀🥰🥰. Finally showing her potential I think. Really appreciate it my friend. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much James 👊!!!! Had a Blast with the K8s 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Matt 🤗!!!! Had such a great time with Aaron back at the pit 😱. That gap was a full throttle affair 👀. I was shocked how the K8s did over it. Hope to get back there again soon. Cheers Brother 🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Chris 😜!!!! This sucker is loving the extra power 😱. Such a Killer fun spot to test her out at too. Absolutely loving this platform Brother 😍. Can't wait to see your latest freestyle run. Trying to sneak in a watch here at work right now actually 😂👍👍😎💪👊👊

Thanks Brother 👊!!!! She feels WAY more capable with this setup 😍. Have a great week too Bro🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Kenny 🤗!!!! Finally getting this K8s dialed and loaded with power 👀. Such a capable Big Beast 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Alex 🤗!!!! Happy bashing Brother 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😊!!!! Really appreciate the kind words. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Philip 🤗!!!! She's shaped into a BEAST with the upgrades 😱. I'm loving it Brother. 👍👍😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😜!!!! Definitely had a great time out there 🤗. All the ARRMA's did great. The K8s was Killin it over that rough terrain. 👀🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😜!!!! This rig is such a Beast 👀. Absolutely LOVE it 😍🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 your welcome big brother 💪👊💯😎🤝

Thanks so much Brother 😜!!!! She's a Beast 👀👍👍😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😜!!!! Happy bashing 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

This was a Killer FUN bash John 😱!!!! The K8s made a statement of sorts 👀. Big Girl is the real deal with the right setup. She took flight at the pit 🤣🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Aaron 🤗!!!! This gravel pit pushes these rigs to the max 😜. It's a Crazy feeling watching them fly off that huge takeoff 🤣. We had a few close calls for sure. The Kraton 8s literally soars through the air. Big Girl is just plain NUTS 😱. Now she has the torque and wheel spin to cover serious ground. Such a Blast to bash her 😍👍👍😎💪👊👊

Tp-Parts Rc-Xtreme I so wish you could of bashed the K8S man!!!

@@jasondearden1394 there was a time back in the days i felt the same. 😊. My time was expired 🤗

@@TpPartsRcXtreme thanks so much dear Brother 😍!!!! This bash felt special for me. Aaron and I hadn't bashed in quite a while and almost couldn't meet up 👀. Think we both needed a hard session with some laughs and close calls 😱🤣🤣. The Kraton 8s felt tuned and did fantastic 😉🥰🥰. It just thrives on bigger terrain 👀. I gotta agree with Jason too dear friend. Really wish you still had an ARRMA in the fleet 🤗. Variety is great, but I miss seeing you work your TP Magic with them Brother. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words and inspiration 🤗🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 thank you brother, i do understand you all, but it will never happen, at least not for me. Its like going back to a wife that you have divorced. Nuff with that, i sure moved from one, to at least different brands, the future is brighter then ever. But ☝️text above ,is 2ndary.. This is it 👇 its the way you filmed, you voice brother, i was almost lost for words, so good. I love your ramp,dirt vids i do, but when you let all out in a pit, its like another dimension of you dear brother. ARRMA, HH and M2C are more then proud i am sure, for the OUTSTANDING job you do. You are such an inspiration for me and all other basher on this planet ❤. You are the best brother Rich 🥰

@@TpPartsRcXtreme thank you so much dear Brother 🥰🥰🥰. I'm beyond honored 🤗. Speechless 😋

Thanks so much Olivier 😉. Happy bashing 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Pete 😜!!!! Been wanting to do this for awhile 👀. Now she has the tools in place to fly like the Beast she is. 🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😜!!!! Sending the K8s is a complete rush 😱. She's completely exceeded my expectations 👀🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Glad you're digging yours Brother 👊!!!! Mitch will have a SWB Kraton 8s chassis kit available soon 👀. Going to utilize a front driveshaft in the rear for practicality. Just have to sort out a body and adjust the rear body mount setup. 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Thanks my friend 🤗!!!! That gravel pit is ridiculous 🤣. So fun to hammer it off those huge mounds. 🥰🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Thanks Brother 😊!!!! I'm super impressed with the K8s👀. Even stock with a tune and bigger gear she's a Beast. She's feeling next level with the M2C and Hobbywing power 😱👍👍😎💪👊👊

LMAO 🤣!!!! Thanks so much Brett 👊. This place puts a serious test on any rig. Having a rig this size and weight take it so well is Nuts👀. I'm convinced the Kraton 8s is unique compared to others it's size. 👍👍😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Joseph 🤗!!!! Sounds like you got her dialed in nice 👊. This platform has so much potential 👀. Props to ARRMA for such a Killer modular design. The stock electronics are very efficient too. Just tested my prototype M2C SWB Kraton 8s chassis ... AKA "Stunt truck" version today 😱. It's a dang wild animal 😜. Was able to front flip it, but didn't have the traction for a double BF. Hopefully post a vid on it by tomorrow. Really opens the doors on this platform. Appreciate the kind words Brother 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

Thanks Brother 👊!!!! Definitely try one sometime 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 🤗!!!! We can't get there very often, but it's MAD fun when we do 😱😍😍. Perfect harsh spot to just hammer it and go BIG 👀. Really appreciate the kind words my friend 😉👍👍😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Garrett 🤗!!!! Yes... definitely ground shaking and thud echos going down at the pit 😱. That massive launch has a tricky face and lip to it 👀. Only has one or 2 clean lines. We tried our best to smooth things out, but it's still gravel in the end. Really appreciate it Brother 👊!!!! 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Cam 🤗!!!! Yeah it's Crazy how the K8s floats in the air 👀. Definitely feels like slow mo in person 🤣🤣. Aaron and I spent some time raking the jump faces. Definitely planning on doing more when are schedules allow. This place has Mad potential 👀🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Thanks Brother 😊. The pit is such Crazy Fun 😱👍👍😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Trent 🤗!!!! Had an absolute Blast with Aaron out there 😱. That spot is just sick 😜🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Gary 🤗!!!! Had an absolute Blast out there. It's nice not having to worry about bikes and foot traffic out there 😍. Can't wait to hook up again Bro. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Stevo 😜!!!! Spots like this make the K8s feel right at home. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

Hey Jason 🤗!!!! Thanks so much Brother. Sounds like you've gotten yours dialed in nicely 👍. I doubt the 25T will cause thermal issues atleast this time of year. I'm getting good run times with my Hobbywing set-up. System seems very efficient overall. Has way more torque now. Hope you're digging this Big Beast 😱👍👍😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😊!!!! The Kraton 8s truly sails through the air great. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊

Sorry I missed this Brian 👀. Great question. My feeling is not necessarily. It's perfectly fine to upgrade based on your needs as you go. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks Bill 🤗. Looking forward to seeing you out there again 🍻😎💪👊👊

Congrats Saul 😱!!!! She's a bit slow out of the box, but wakes right up with more gear and tuning 😍. I too love the sound of this Beast 👀. Especially flying by with some throttle. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊

Hi rich hope you are doing well 👍💪 I have a little bit of a problem with the kraton 8s 🤔 I bought two smart batteries from spektrum and the charger s1200 DCsmart charger But the problem is that the charger doesn't come with a leed cord and the connectors ove the charger are too small for the spektrum smart batterys that i bought. So my questions are the following : no1 :can I put xt 60 on the batterys and not connect the wire of the smart chip, and charge them with my over charger. No2 :will xt60 connectors be big enough for the power? No3 :if i put xt60 on the car will that limit the power going to the esc and servos!? Hope you can help me out mate because don't want to do something stupid See you Saul 👍👌💪✌️👊

Love bashing in the wet 😱!!!! Bet you had a Blast sliding around making rooster tails Brother. 🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 controlled mayhem !

Thanks so much Damon 🤗!!!! Some have been hypercritical of this new platform, but I say ARRMA hit a home run 👀👍👍😎💪👊👊

Thanks Terry 😜!!!! I love her sounds too 🤗. Such a Beast. 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 we got a cold snap going on now,-40/-50 degrees Celsius so getting my kraton8s or xmaxx out ramping them might b a few days wait for me haha at least warm up to -20 degrees Celsius haha

Thanks so much Sam 🤗!!!! I was cringing to bash big-time 😱. Really appreciate it. 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Sorry Jason 🤣. I misspoke at the end 👀. Probably hunger and fatigue. I'm running 30 front and 35 rear. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Ed 😜!!!! The 5687 1100kv is working great so far 👍. It's got all the power and torque I was really looking for. The K8s really is amazing for a first release. Fortunately, we're not seeing really cold weather this winter. That's helped with the plastics for sure. I bought spare arms but haven't needed them yet. Think I saw you posted up a vid earlier 👀. Gotta check it out here shortly. Bash on Brother 👊!!!! 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😊!!! Just give it a bit and someone will thumbs down 🤣🤣. Really appreciate it. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Stephane 😜!!!! Can't wait to try your new (to me) TEKJO diff case gaskets 👀. Going on my latest Truggified Typhon build 🥰🥰😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 Awesome, let me know what you think , also, soon to come 8s Tekjo gaskets !!!!

I'm currently running the M2C Racing Crusher SWB chassis kit and 7075 motor mount with Hobbywing 5687 1100kv and Max5 on a 29T pinion. I favor Hobbystar 6000 and 8000mah 100c 4s hard packs from RCJuice. Lots of guys seem happy with GensAce 😎💪👊👊

These pistons have very small holes and tight tolerances 👀. The stock 40 weight felt too firm, too much pack. Chassis slap for the win 😜. She handles amazing now. 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Ahhh ok makes sense now But yes I definitely learned from you chassis slap is the only way you WIN lol Great video by the way brother! I wanna check that place out!

Thanks Brother 👊. The sound is friggin NUTS 😱. Love it🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

Sorry I missed this Brother 👀. Running softer suspension with lighter 30-35 weight oils definitely helps. Thank goodness ARRMA went with beefier shafts and rod ends with the newer 8s EXB. They're a direct fit on the RTR 8s. 🍻😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 All good! droop screws seem to be the key for me

@@derka5581 most definitely for sparing the rod ends 👊. 3mm button head screws straight into the existing stock arm holes. I've found putting small M3 aluminum spacers under the screws helps keep them from pushing into the arms over time. 🍻

LMFAO 🤣!!!! That's honestly how this place feels Dave 👀. A few warm up jumps and then the launch pad gets cleared for take off 😱🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

My 6s servos get swapped ASAP 👀. They all have the same gear strip out after the right hit or tumble. No wonder they're dirt cheap on Jenny's RC 😜. Been running Power HD 23kg with good luck thus far. 38-40$ is more my style for decent performance and torque. This S905 1/5 Spectrum is starting to crap out 😱. It stopped holding center at the very end of the video 😝. Maybe there's a reason it's only 49$ 🤣🤣. I've beat the crap out of it so I can't complain. 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Rich Duperbash Your also saying power HD servo the 23 kg one. That’s perfect. Appreciate the help bud. I need it. Ya I was just running 2 s in my new typhon and the servo I had just went out with no hard bashing. It just happened easy. Your driving is up there with only a few who do this big sending and I am setting myself up here slowly to. With great help / ideas and advice I’ll make it fine. Have a wonderful evening Rich. 🤘😊❤️👍👊😀 Thank you for your help.

Thanks so much Seth 🤗!!!! Had a Blast with my buddy Aaron 😜. He totally goes for it. Nothing but fun and laughs. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Also @richduperbash when is Mitch gonna have those 6S suspension mounts?😫 Been waiting forever🤷‍♂️

@@Crewchief227 I would just run the 23T and watch temps. I'd think 21-23 would be about perfect with that kv anyways. Mitch should have the mounts up on his site by next week 🤔. The Delrin inserts make for silky smooth movement with the hinge pins 😍😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 thanks brother 👊🤘

Thanks so much Jay 👊!!!! Your K8s is looking Beastly too Bro 👀👍👍😎💪👊👊
