"NUTS" TRAXXAS XRT 8s Back from the Dead... 

Thank you Michael 🤗. Truly appreciate it Brother 🍻

Thanks so much Kimberly 😍. M2C is fixing the weak spots one bit at a time. So grateful to get back to the lake with no bell crank issues 😱😘😘

Thanks so much Brother David 😜. Super fun session and lake visit. Ben and little Ben Jr. were super cool. He was definitely getting things sorted off the ramp 😱. Also met a heli pilot near the puddle area, dude had crazy skills 👀. You could hear him flying in the background 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😜!!! She's turned into a screamer for sure 👀. Truly appreciate it my friend. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. Little Ben was super excited to try the ramp 😍. So awesome to see him going for it 🍻🚀🚀

Thanks so much Brother Aaron 😜. I was pleasantly surprised with the old Copperheads 👀. You know I had to drop some T brand jokes in there 😱🤣😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Doug 🤗. It was a pleasure. Seeing the next generation of hobbiests going for it is awesome!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so very much dear Brother 😍. Makes my day reading this 🤗. Was a busy full day at work and after work with the fam. Truly appreciate it Thomas 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 👊. Yes indeed, I think the 5687 1100 is absolutely perfect for her 🚀🚀

Thanks so very much Brother Dennis 😜. Had a Killer time out there rippin around and making new friends 🤗. The XRT is definitely coming together thanks to Mitch and Avery's hard work. 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Nel 🤗. Traxxas did some great engineering in most areas, but fell short in others. Still think the XRT is tougher than the XMaxx overall 👍. Had a Blast watching Ben Jr. go for it!!! 🚀🚀

Thanks so much Brother Aldo 😜!!! So cool to meet Ben and Ben Jr out there 🤗. He was getting after it and his dad was super encouraging. I couldn't help myself with the Traxxas wisecracks 😂. Gotta rib the diehard fanboys once in awhile 🤣. Had a super FUN time out there Brother. Really appreciate it. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so very much Brother 🤗. With the right set-up, the XRT is crazy fast for it's size 👀. Truly appreciate the kind words my friend 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Shaun 🤗

Thanks so very much Brother Chris 😜!!! Super FUN session. I was surprised how well the Copperheads did out there. They got blasted through the wet and off tons of sharp granite rocks 😂. So cool seeing little Ben going for it off the ramp 🚀🚀. The XRT held together thanks to M2C. Can't wait for the chassis brace!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 😂. Yeah she hauls ass with this setup. She doesn't scare me like my K8s EXB, but I'm still careful not to tag myself regardless 😱🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Chad 🤗. Looking forward to testing the prototype XRT chassis brace 👀. Should greatly reinforce the front area. Ordered a Vitavon top brace to try out as well. So cool making new friends out bashing 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thank you Lance 🤗. Happy bashing Brother 🍻

Thanks so much Brother 😜!!! That's a good comparison and visual 😂. She definitely moves great with this setup. Really appreciate it my friend. 🍻

I went with 25/30 Vitavon 1.5 gears because I'd been running them on my XMaxx with the 1100 5687 HW for awhile and it's done awesome 😱. Temps have been very manageable and speed has been off the hook 🚀🚀

@@richduperbash2966 👍😊Thanks G! Definitely what I think I will also do. I just want reliability.

Thanks Brother 🤗. I still like the XMaxx, but the XRT hauls ass with bigger power and handles Killer 😱

Thanks so very much Brother 😜!!! Ben and Ben Jr were super cool. Awesome making new friends at the lake 🤗

@@richduperbash2966 I love meeting fellow RC friends at locations ! Always a good time and almost always become friends :)

Thanks so much Brother 😜. These rigs definitely have their limits. Super fun to explore what they can handle and sort how to strengthen them 🤗

Thanks so much Kyle 🤗. Yeah my buddy Ian found that S. River spot in West Sac awhile ago. We tried to shape up the jumps and pulled tons of weeds. Haven't been there in awhile, but have that spot in a few of my vids during group sessions 🚀🚀. A bash park in the area would be epic. Probably need to take it up with Rocklin parks department. If you just start building jumps, someone will likely spoil the party. There's a decent amount of foot traffic nearby for frisbee golf...etc. The space is there, but the city would have to be on board. I've seen lots of jump spots get flattened through the years. Dwight at Fast Track would be supportive if it was done through the proper channels through city parks. The alternative would be on private property with the land owners full blessing. 🍻

Thanks so much Brother Dave 😜!!! Well you know, when these plastic rigs let go they like to take all their buddies with them 😱😂. So stoked M2C is all over the weak spots 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Luke 🤗. I do my best to give solid, helpful feedback about these rigs. They all have weak points, some more than others. You have the right attitude Brother 👊. Keep on the hunt for cool bash spots. Google Earth maps can be helpful for scouting potential areas. Just takes time and sometimes good luck. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother and Congrats on your new ride 😍. Very fun rig no question.🍻

@@richduperbash2966 thanks bro 🙂🤘🏻

Thanks so very much Brother Avery 😜!!! Loving the new 8s Surelock nuts, endbell support, and wingmount support!!! The M2C HDP is no joke 👀. Getting the bell crank sorted has been a complete game changer 😍. Thanks for everything you and Mitch do. 🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

Thanks Harry 🤗. So excited M2C is committed to fixing the weak spots on this sucker. They just keep hitting home runs with the upgrades!!! 🍻

Thanks so much Willis 🤗. Felt great to get her breathing again in the wide open terrain 😍

Nice 😁. No more busted bell cranks thanks to M2C 🍻😎💪👊👊

That would be a good idea for a speed rig (the metal or aluminum center skid plate) bud but for bashing i dont think it would be ideal as metal dosent flex. But the bash bar works amazing for the X-Maxx so im glad to hear m2c is working on some new stuff for the xrt. Its a badass rig

@@williamnutting9369 yeah, I know the metal definitely doesn't flex much, part of why my hobao still has all stock bracing

I think it will be better overall to design a skid/chassis support that strengthens the chassis and bulkhead connection points. There's very complex attachment points under the stock skid and replacing it will aluminum would add significant weight and likely contribute to other issues. 🍻

@@richduperbash2966 yeah true, I haven't really seen them much out of the truck

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. If I have a dry sand bash, I simply air compress and get out the granite rocks and shards. For wet bashing she gets a full shower afterwards with 50/50 mix of water and Simple Green, rinse, dry, and hit all bearings and hinge pins with Silicone Spray. Sand isn't as bad as fine construction dirt and dust. 🍻

Thanks so very much Brother 😜

Hey Brother 🤗. I wanted standard 24mm hexes that were wide enough to run whatever large scale wheel I wanted. The dboots Backflips wouldn't clear the upper A arms during full turning without an aftermarket hex extender. I absolutely love this setup 🤩. Still running my M2C axels and hexes (they pair together) and love the stance. I'll try and link you. m2cracing.net/shop/shop.php#!/M2C-1190-24MM-HEX-ADAPTER-FOR-X-SERIES-WIDE-KIT-ONLY/p/478044744/category=141639751 m2cracing.net/shop/shop.php#!/M2C-1192-X-SERIES-WIDE-KIT/p/478044743/category=141639751

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. There's a simple mod my friend Ian came up with that truly helps. Our buddy John did a video about it. I'll try to link you.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vyj-3-PuY7U.html

Traxxas screwed up with the manual 😝. The front XRT bulkhead is 7720X. It's got 2 extra raised bolt holes to secure the top brace onto.

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. I'm not sure on height or distance, but she's getting out there pretty far. I'll have to measure it out sometime. 🍻

I've found the bashers handle and turn better with the heavier front vs rear diff fluids. Same principals with race buggy and truggy set ups. 🍻.

@@richduperbash2966 thanks for the info. I appreciate it!

Don't do it Brother 👀. Stick with a lighter set-up that still hauls ass for bashing 👌. Way more agile with less chance of gears and other parts failing. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Yes indeed Matthew. I use Rite Aid premium soft. Just have to pack them in methodically in smaller pieces like puddy. The diff still has plenty of action, but works much better than 20mil CST. 🍻 www.riteaid.com/shop/rite-aid-pharmacy-silicone-ear-plugs-6-pair

Thats a great idea but if im not correct i think the holes on the bottom are for motor heat dissipation. That potentially could work though

The curved mount footing goes on the side facing the motor. Avery show's the mount orientation briefly in his M2C Racing video in the product description on the website. You want to mount the esc to the plate (bottom screws) prior to mount install onto the truck using the available existing holes. Hope this helps 🤗

The Beast will be back out again soon 😍. Same with the 08s running my old 980kv 34/39 setup 👀

Could just have to tighten 4 screws that attach the spur gear to the diff cup 🤔. I typically check or replace my diff fluids sooner than later. 500k center is my preferred in the K6s. TEKJO out of Canada sells awesome replacement ARRMA diff gaskets on eBay. 🍻

@@richduperbash2966 Thanks

The Freshpark ramp is super sturdy. My buddies all have high praise for it. 🍻

I'm running Hobbystar 7200 100c 4s soft packs and Ovonic 6000mah 60c. 🍻

@@richduperbash2966 awesome! thanks brother! Keep on with the awesome vids!!

Now say the word "vitamin" 😆 🤣 😆 Tomatoe potato!

@@captaincouldverc 😂😂😂 there should be an E after the I in vitamin to be pronounced that way. Vitavon doesn’t have an E after the I so… 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@RC_Berserker Vit-e-min Vit-a-von Sounds perfect to me, but then again, I'm half deaf in one ear. 😆

@@captaincouldverc but the A is after the T. The A would have to be before the T to make the eye sound, right?
