NEW ARRMA FIRETEAM 1/7 6s Assault Ripper 😱 Review & Run 1 

LMFAO 😂

Yea they were waving their arms around trying to tell us 😂💯

"Sir what about the mission?" "This is the mission son!!"

😄

Thanks so much Gerald 🤗. Very grateful and honored to get one of these 😱. I'm truly impressed with it. She's a joy to bash 😍🍻😎💪👊👊

I said the exact thing on everyone else's channel haha I named it the cartel cruiser 😂

@@never-stock-rc2968 a light bar would be perfect for night cartel runs 🤣🤣

@@richduperbash2966 oh yeah and some paddles in rear and mohawks in the front take front center driveshaft out and a nasty sand rail will cartel cruiser will appear...

So freaking awesome!!

@@danjones3402 thanks Brother 🤗

It's probably possible to take/cut out the plastic soldiers and then replace with an aftermarket cover? I'm interested to see what anyone comes up, I think I'm going to love tinkering with this body it looks very capable :D

For those of you complaining about the military men inside the car rounding out the Fireteam theme... I encourage you to think about whom has up help your freedom all these years? Whom was there taking care of your country while you were working the privileged 9 to 5 life that you have fooled yourself into thinking is difficult. You haven't seen nothing yet. Those who have served will never talk down on this theme and I welcome to inspire you to be the same. #MilitaryUnderstands #DontLookDownOnUSa #ThereisNoWeInMilitary

Thanks so much Brother 😜. I've actually wanted a cage style body for years 😱. I think it's nuts they finally released one 😍🍻😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 ay brother hope you're safe. Tsunami advisory on the left coast and all that mother natureness.

I understand with u there the platform really I don't think is for me has I like sending mine like u do my man??👌💥👍

Ay dude hope ur all safe with the tsunami b safe man and keep rolling man and high air, it's all good???

I haven't driven a ZD Racing DBX07 to know 🤔. The shock length and tower geometry looks different to me. 🍻

Thanks Brother 🤗. I'm so stoked about this new Beast 😱. Not knocking the Mojave, but this sucker is far more capable and stable at speed 😍🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😜!!!! Truly appreciate it. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😜!!!! I saw your Mocast 👍. Bummer on busting a link, but damn if that V2 didn't last awhile 😱. Truly appreciate your comment. Many simply won't understand the XL handling until they see and experience it first-hand.🍻😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 agree Ada at the center to Tower brace all I got to do is add that little front and back piece that it connects to right

@@blacksheeprc8113 yes indeed Brother 👊. You need those molded block pieces that the brace attaches to plus the two M4 screws that secure the brace to the blocks. 👍

@@richduperbash2966 👍

Thanks so much Brother 😜. Yeah I shot some sick onboard footage, but the camera couldn't get enough lighting from its position unfortunately 😂. It was really whited out. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother Rocky 😜. ARRMA stepped it up big-time with this sucker 😱🥰🥰. The stance is literally perfect for all around Killer handling and hauling ass!!!! You'll definitely dig it Bro. 🍻😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 Awesome man! I can't wait! Stoked to bash this sucker!⚡🤩🤩💥🚀

Thanks so much Brother Ed 😜. I think ARRMA did the best they possibly could engineering it to distribute forces evenly during impacts. We shall see over time.🍻 🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Yo comon man are they paying you for this cause it seems that way

@@waldo420proof no I'm not payed, don't have affiliate links, t shirts for sale and all that crap 😂. I'm genuinely impressed with this truck. Tons of engineering and attention to detail and it performs Killer 😎💪👊👊

Me too my friend 🤗. Such a cool design all around. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Mark 🤗. I was bummed because the lighting got whited out with the onboard GoPro 😝. Thought I'd toss in a couple short clips anyways. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so very much Brother Chris 😜!!!! You're absolutely right my friend 😍. Come to think of it, I think I sent them a link to your build vid 😂. Wouldn't surprise me if it actually helped inspire them to create the Fireteam 👀. Such a Killer platform for all around high speed bashing!!!! Thanks for the kind words Brother. Loving this little Tank. 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Hey Chris you finally got past the prototype faze and allowed our favorite manufacturer to begin mass producing that Mojave Monster Buggy that I absolutely believe may have been the reason for this new design by arrma d (might have been a bit too similar to other brands under the HH umbrella if arrma was to release a new rig/krojave/kraton xl making it appear to look like another one of HH's core brand body design...so a side by side with a bit of a gimmick helped it to be less comparable to the bodies we see on axial losi etc but built tough and very well designed body from what rich just pointed out indeed shows how well the krojave/kraton xl truly is or was lol an amazing hybrid since it seemsbto me that without the body, wheels and bumpers... that is a krojave for most part. All in all I've had my m2c'ified krojave built as soon as I saw your original Mojave hybrid Chris, actually had the same color body as Rich's "orange Darling" C-10 chevy body on it that I painted years ago but never used it until tge Mojave/kraton hybrid build came along which has only recently turned into what looks and runs similar to what ide assume a 1/7 buggy would by modifying a limitless shell, some shock tuning as well as a set of belted/non belted katars (I run both) the thing looks and feels almost like a 1/7 buggy for sure. I found it odd how I (like myself) managed to build any rig/arrma hybrid prior to rich building one as I've found great benefit and joy by "copying" Rich in alota if ways since day 1 when I took stock v3 typhon wheels off before running typhon 6s based upon your reasoning fir the " truggified " mods, except 5+ years later I've had what looks like the twin of Rich Duberbash' " orange darling" which is strange for two reasons ... first my krojave built just after commander astig built his original version and it appears to be almost exact same truck from m2c chassis on up that you, rich, later built many many months after...ok maybe I don't have a completely m2c'd krojave but 90% and same body and exact same burnt orange color to a "t"... usually you guys build em and I sorta copy you but to see what is almost exactly the same choice of aftermarket parts, similar tuning and kids along with identical c10 orange body...maybe I'm starting to get the hang if the hobby in which I gratefully learned by watching guys such as you both (2 out of 3 of my favorite rc enthusiasts as well as my "go to" YT channels for entertainment and most certainly to learn from such knowledgeable guys who really take great time/energy creating vids and replying to comments from guys just like myself in turn allowing us to skip alot of tge time consuming and rather expensive trial and error process on damn near every rig I have purchased or built in last 5 years 100% don't know what ide do without you guys to help me with ideas, tips, amazing arrma hybrids that i actually enjoy buiding/bashing/rebuilding differently than before which has def become my favorite party of the hobby. Thanks to you both for sharing teaching and taking time/effort to share all the vids that literally got me into the hobby years ago and continue to keep me intrigued entertained and grateful for the hobby,, Thank you both🍻 ** side note about this new release... is the chassis any different than the Mojave? Same but with some mounting holes for rear handbrake? Not a big fan of the "cartel figurines" personally and never really liked the heads in my Mojave body either... but I wonder what could be done to remove the little guys inside, maybe make/buy some lexan panels/interior cover or even just a windshield to avoid getting too much debree logged inside 🤔 wonder what it would look like without the 4 guys looking a bit trigger happy lol either way I've been searching for an alternative body for my krojave build since Chris Anthony built his v1 krojave now I believe I've got one for when I want to yet again change the krojave which went from a c10 body truggy like performance into a 1/7 limitless buggy after body swap diff/shock tuning and some katars(belted & non belted depending on environment I'm running). Need to know more about the newly designed rear mounted handbrake design as I removed my v2 infraction handbrake simply due to poor performance/problems with center diff etc but a Rear Mounted handbrake might be fun to try out if it's designed to really lock up the rear wheels as I hoped the original handbrake design would on the infraction(I'm itching fir you to start doing what you do best with this new "firesquad" or whatever the name is and look firwardvto seeing how these newly designed parts can be applied to my other arrma rigs/hybrids etc). Long winded post but I really do appreciate you Rich as well as guys like Chris Anthony and a couple others who if not fir their kind efforts/work to show us less knowledgeable and budgeted bashers how or what can be done to make the best of an already great platform, brand of rc and ultimately the hobby as a whole fr me personally. Thanks again fir the great maiden session vid and will keep my eyes peeled fir any future vids related to this very interesting/unexpected newly released 1/7 arrma "Cartellified" krojave 🍻🤣🤪

I'm a medical professional, not a salesman 😂. My opinions are my own. Do RC for fun only and stress relief. Notice any links to stuff or commercials 👀. The one con I think was the motor mount screws. I HATE them. Nothing else negative to say. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Sorry I missed your comment Joe 🤗. Still love my Fireteam!!! Happy bashing my friend 🚀🚀

@@richduperbash2966 no worries 👊🏻

Yes indeed Brother 😜!!!! She's a screamer no question. The 16T on punch 9 is the ticket. Going 500k center and shifting the lipo rearward really gets the power down nicely. 🍻

Thanks so much for the support and kind words Kevin 🤗. You're right about handling being superior with the forward weight bias, but that would be more for cornering and doing fast laps like when racing. For bashing, I prefer rearward bias so I can wheelie over puddles, ruts, and have more level flying off jumps. It's also easier to load the rear wheels for drifting and pull cleaner backflips. If you hold the car mid chassis, you'll notice the front to rear balance feels better with the rearward tray setup. That's why I've stuck with it since first building my Orange Darling XL on the Mojave chassis. 🍻😎💪👊👊

With the weight on a Mojave being forward biased and my style of Larry😂 "just gonna send it" I need rearward weight on my rig because with upgrades it became heavy in front👍

@@richduperbash2966 Ahhh. Yes of course that makes sense! Thanks so much for taking the time in explaining this to me. I appreciate it! 🤜🏼🤛🏼catch you in the next video rich!

Yes it sure does Andrew 🤗. I found one little gravel piece in the chassis bay. Thanks so much for the kind words Brother!!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊

Just an update Andrew, I did a sloppy mud bash today and that did get in the chassis bay 😱🤣🤣. Atleast we know there's good air flow getting to the electronics 👀

Thanks dear Brother 😍. It looks awesome flying by at warp speeds 😱🥰🥰. Cage is friggin solid too. ARRMA nailed it again Brother 🍻😎💪👊👊

Yeah the chassis still looks straight 👀. She'll need alloy chassis braces for jumping (sooner than later) and an M2C chassis for really big sends 😱. This platform isn't a true mega sender with the heavier cage. It's more an all around basher 😍. I've got my Orange Darling XL when I want to do orbits airs 😂😎💪👊👊

I agree, but she still moves nicely 👀. What's Crazy is I never got the stock electronics over 110F 😱. Wasn't expecting that running a 16T pinion. They have the timing advanced too. I was running max punch 9. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Congrats Brother 😱!!! Such a sweet deal for an awesome, super durable rig. 🍻

@@richduperbash2966 Thanks, got it because it reminds me a bit of the arrma Fazon 6s, that awesome looking truggy that got discontinued 😔

Well....ARRMA hadn't made one available for the public as an RTR until now 🤗. Lots of newer people in the hobby aren't comfortable building their own yet. I'm giving ARRMA credit for where it's due. Clearly they're still watching the bashing community closely. I waited quite awhile before building my Orange Darling XL 😍. That's when it sunk in how Killer this stance is if you enjoy high speed handling and hauling ass. 🍻😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 yeah it’s a great looking car for sure I give em credit for that. I love body. But yes I under where some won’t make it but I’m just saying it’s not a epic game changer or anything. I mean the body is a game changer but won’t last after big air bashes when landing wrong but they did incorporate a lot of support tho. But lost a lot of sales to all the guys that already built the fireteam platform. Heavy price tag. But just my opinion

Thanks so much Brother Aaron 😜!!!! Yeah the 12T wasn't lighting my fire in the front yard shakedown 😂. Feels Killer and ran very cool with the 16T 😍. Loving this Tactical Ripper!!!! 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother Chris 😜!!!! You'll friggin LOVE this rig 😍. Hope all is good in Florida Bro. 🍻😎💪👊👊

@Rich Duperbash yes sir, all is good my friend been super busy building my twin turbo Mustang S550 and staying safe. Hope you and your family are doing well 🙏. I seen your comment on one of my videos but it wouldn't let me respond to it who know.

@@12R1rcbashr holy crap the Mustang sounds Awesome 😱. All is well here. Finally got sick about a week ago from the virus 😝. Taking it slow and staying hydrated. Don't trip on the comments. RU-vid is just weird like that 😂

That will be super tall gearing, but perfect for say a 1400-1500kv high torque motor in this rig with these tires. 😎💪👊👊

Thanks David 🤗. She's super stable and handles Killer 😍. Air control isn't bad. It's better with a 15-16T pinion with the added wheelspin. The cage does add top weight so you have to account for it trying to pull flips, etc. The wheels honestly seem perfect for this Tactical bruiser 👌. Extremely fast, and no crazy ballooning. I'm super impressed. She isn't built for doing mega sends, really just pure bashing FUN 😍. With an M2C chassis and alloy braces, it would be game on in the gravity department 😱🤣😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😜. It's Crazy how adjustments can make such a profound difference in both handling and overall durability. Appreciate your feedback. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much my Italian Brothers 😍. Hope all is well. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thank you Michael 🤗. Appreciate your kind words. Just had my 2nd run yesterday 😍. She did Killer. Such a wonderfully FUN design. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😜. I honestly LOVE what they've done with this 😱🥰🥰. Handles and drifts Killer!!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much John 🤗. So stoked to see this 1/7 Beast 😱. The handling and drift ability is simply joyous 😍🍻😎💪👊👊

That's awesome Brother 😱!!! Congrats on an awesome purchase. Still one of my favorites hands down. 🍻😎💪👊👊

This sucker would definitely Rip with a bigger Hobbystar setup 😱. I had planned to run Backflips this session, but the stock tires exceeded my expectations 👀. I'll definitely try them on her soon 😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 i definitely think it has potential. I just wish it had a new chassis design instead of using one they already have, or if nothing else atleast have the exb part since its rtr and has an exb feel with the paint scheme

I used the stock Spectrum SLT3 radio. AVC is absolutely not necessary with this rig Roy. 😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😜. This rig is the funnest RTR I've ever bashed 😂. I love all of them as a hobbiest, but this guy takes the cake 😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother Clarence 😜. Several guys actually inspired me to build Orange Darling 😍. The Kraton XL concept was too much to ignore. They simply took it to a different level with a Tactical Monster 😱😂. So happy they listen to basher feedback and watch what guys are doing 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Congrats Brother 😱!!! The Fireteam is a Beast. The action figures are really just along for the ride 😂. Hope you enjoy it my friend. 😎💪👊👊

You bet Brother 🤗. Indeed, she comes with a 12T pinion. I'm running a 16T Robinson Racing Extra Hard #1216. 😎💪👊👊

Yes indeed 👍. Check your temps with an infrared temp gun, but I haven't had any issues with a 16T. Below 150F motor is perfectly fine. I haven't gotten anywhere near that. 😎💪👊👊

That's AWESOME Emanuel 😱. Congrats Brother!!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊

No doubt Brother 👊. Yes, I think their bodies are bolted in 😂😎💪👊👊

Thanks John 🤗. Much appreciated Brother 😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😜. Appreciate the support my friend. 🍻😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 I really enjoy what your doing for the RC Community very detailed and really just a joy to watch. Your videos I believe give us something to strive for. Your collection is totally on point. Thanks Brother 👍🤯👍👍

Well....they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder 😍. She'll be the best handling basher we're going to see this year. The stance, suspension, and ground clearance is simply phenomenal 🤗😎💪👊👊

Thanks Brother 🤗. Really appreciate it. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much my friend 🤗. I'm super impressed with the details and thought they put into this one. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks Joseph 🤗. For durability and function it's actually awesome 😱. Rolls back on its wheels most times and let's air right through front to back 👌. The look adds to the fun factor for me anyways. 🍻😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 that’s cool you replied!! I watch your videos daily and since I have , I feel like my RC game for sure has stepped up. Keep bashing and giving awesome tips and sick builds!! No one else on RU-vid even comes close to your skills and wrench abilities

@@richduperbash2966 hey rich I finally got one! With a max 8 and 2020 kv motor. No e break on it. Power hobby servo. It’s so smooth!!

@@josephlowden9495 Congrats Brother and thanks for your previous message 🤗. I had missed your reply until now 👀. Hope you're digging the Fireteam!!!

Thanks so much Aldo 🤗. I'm sitting on some good XMaxx test footage right now 😱. Mitch and Avery's latest "bash bar" prototype actually works 👀💪💪. Bertha held together despite repeated full sends and a horrible nose dart 😂🍻😎💪👊👊

I wouldn't go a tooth past 16 for bashing. Maybe for straight speed passes, but 16 is the safe limit. 😎💪👊👊

I'm probably get around 15-20 minutes of hard run time using Hobbystar 5000mah 100c single 6s hardcase packs. 😎💪👊👊

Thanks Brother 🤗. Well everyone has different tastes of course. The look grew on me pretty quickly. I've wanted a caged basher for years though so maybe I'm biased in that regard. I'm honestly not using the handbrake much, but it works great for pitching her around quickly and changing directions. 😎💪👊👊

All good. Will zee what it's like in person, I'm sure it's a cracking bit of kit. Glad it something different, could have been just another trophy truck ect. Have a good weekend pal, 🖐👍

The body and cage takes a pretty good beating 👍. I've added some rubber washers under some of the body screws after my 2nd and 3rd run. Adding more surface area has helped stabilize and protect the body panels. Very tough truck!!!! 😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 right on man! And thanks for the heads-up!!! 😎

I think they nailed it Brother 😱. Super rad design with crazy attention to detail 👀😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 goes to show how versatile the mohave chassis can be -arrma wasnt afraid To push the envelope this extreme for this rig. Hope to one day get my hands on one. keep it full blast bro

Thanks so very much again Brother David 😜!!!! I was so excited and honored to get your gifts 😱. Love the shirt, stickers, and custom placard 😍. Shout out definitely well deserved my friend 🤗. Loving this new bold design by ARRMA!!!! Think they nailed this one 100% with the Tactical styling and size 🥰🥰🥰. So stoked about this rig Brother. The durability and performance is simply Incredible 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 As always, it was a pleasure, my friend, and thank you again. Yes, I've seen it, it's really powerful, I really like this new arrma design. Good Bash bro 👊😁🤝😎

Thanks so much Grant. Agree 100% with your comment. God bless you Brother 🙏

@@richduperbash2966 I liked you before and I love you now.

I'm not sure, but that's a great idea. 😎💪👊👊

That's in Lincoln, CA off H-65 and 12 Bridges. 🍻

@@richduperbash2966 Thanks! One of these days I'll make it a detour on the way to Tahoe.
