"OVERKILL" TRAXXAS XRT 8s gets BIG Power 1100kv Combo!!! 

Apologize for the gear noise 😝. Regret not inspecting my front diff (seemed fine until putting the power down). Definitely still getting this rig sorted. I'd recommend running the servo saver loose if you like jumping and harder bashing. Looking forward to an upgraded alloy one 🍻

Wow I absolutely love your setup on this truck! That brace for the wing is looking like an absolute must for this rig and its very nice seeing the good guys at M2C busting out high quality parts too! As always, great bash brother! Looking forward to the next!! 😎😎

Love the videos. I just upgraded the XMAXX with the 1100kv HW motor, Max 5 HW ESC paired with vitavon 1.5 gears The m2c motor mount and chassis brace was a pro choice, Thought I would say thanks for all the hard work and product testing

Even with issues you still turned this into a great video!!

Dude you're awesome I like how you give gearing advice and Temps 💯👍🏿💪🏿

Great Run and set up! I definitely need to get me one of those garage Rc wing Mounts!

Just picked up an XRT yesterday, love it!

Man... Hell of a bashing session. One of the best I've ever seen.

Your videos are the best Rich, 👌. This is an excellent setup actually. I'll probably do the same when I get mine. Great job my friend. Thanks for taking the time for us fans making such awesome videos. Have an awesome week brother. 👊❤️🍻💪💯🙏😎💪🔥

Sweet!!! The sound of the tires rippin across the terrain on sub title says "music" 🤘Hell yeah got that right!!!❤️‍🔥👊

Love your driving skills! And you always reply on our comments. (even if mine english is crap😂). I read all your comment's 😅 Thank you🤩 Big support from Norway🤩

Another great basing session! Happy to see that M2C comes out with some nice upgrades. I hope there is a solution for the bell cranks soon 😘 Happy Thanksgiving!

Ya buddy ! What a ripper! Great upgrades and rig bud!

Test and tune!! She is looking good Rich. Couple more things and you will have her all dialed in 🤩🤩

Sick power, nicely done 👍🏽

Love watching your vids and such nice spots there in the states......Keep on bashing!!! Thumbs up!

Awesome bro💪🏽👊 Now it's a beast👍🏻 But he's not indestructible after all😂 I'm looking forward to your tunig with m2c and other aftermarket parts🙂 thank you so much for another very interesting vid!🙏

Nice Rip Brother Rich sucks about the bell crank. I’m sure somebody will have that upgraded in no time. She definitely looks good out there with the new shock set up with M2c pistons Definitely sounded like you were popping popcorn on that Run brother. 🤘😎👊

Bash worthy!!! Love it bro!

Tight work as usual…🤙🏾..Happy 🦃 day..

Car is a Beast! Love it

I just put the 5687 in an Outcast 8S EXB running a 30-39 spur and pinion. I couldn't ask for more power as it's nearly impossible to keep that heavy front end on the ground at half throttle. I like the Max5 combo so well that I bought another one on a good sale at HobbyWing Direct....$254.00. I don't have an rc truck, truggy or buggy for this combo yet......but I'm sure I'll find something;-) Love the vids and the time you take to explain the good, the bad and the ugly on each platform. Happy Thanksgiving!

What a killer session brother Rich, jaöust came across it, no notification 😢 sorry for that. Love the look of this car, can almost feel it feels nimble 🥰

Absolutely awesome ripping mate , love it 🔥🔥🤘🏻

What an awesome rip Brother Rich! The XRT has woken up!😱😍Great run down and tips! Sucks on the diff but she was still cookin out there in the wide open! The 1100kv is definitely a great setup!💪 I'm going to try a 1120kv Hobbystar motor for something different. Hope to run soon if it ever quits raining! Killer launches and casers on the mound! This truck definitely has potential! Can't wait to see what all M2C has in store for us! Great vid my bro!😎🤙🚀🚀

Always a good day when rich uploads a video that starts in “overkill” 😂

Watched it twice and forgot to comment I'm a dumdass and getting old LoL 🤣. Killer session with the XRT Bro Rich! That sucker was a monster out there man. Bummer on the belcrank snapping and chipped gears. But the M2C goodies are holding up strong 💪🤘 which are gonna a game changing pieces for this truck. Vitavon just released their metal belcrank but I'm excited about what Avery is cooking in his Lab. Another EPIC sesh my friend

Awesome bash sesh brother Rich. The 1100 setup sure is sweet man. Definitely needs that motor mount support for that wheat silo sized motor lol. Shame about the front diff but that’s an easy fix. Great vid mate. 😎👊🏼👌🏼💪🏼

My brand new XRT, stock gear blew driving up and down my block. lol. What hell? Was literally breaking it in. No pun intended.

Good content rich keep it up man!!

i notice the strength of this truck depends on who you watch.

Hey I know that spot 😉 Great shakedown as always. Thank you for saying what the weight difference is with the new motor setup. Happy thanksgiving.

Getting that Xrt where it needs to be brother....👀👍🤩🚀⚡️Couple more tweaks and she'll be perfect 🥰 💯💪.... ❄️Happy Holidays❄️

Looks good 😮

Absolutely awesome! Great vid, new SUBSCRIBER here 🤜💥🤛

Happy sandy Thanksgiving drifts. Going to be a good day

That thing goes !

nice run, tho short, prototypes in the mail!!!

Awesome bash man! You going mod 1.5 on this like Bertha? I've been running bowhouse 8mm spur shaft and still just hardened sargas mod1 gears with no issues but those 1.5s got me intrigued.

Yah I broke my Xmaxx bell crank almost every run. I have a Vitavon one now and it's so butter smooth and just beefcake I don't see it breaking. Xrt looks pretty sick though I wish Traxxas would sell rollers so we didn't have to pay for those vxl electronics. It would save most of us a ton of 💸. Great run brother as always really great content 👏 👌

Thanksgiving treat from rich

Hey my friend great video like always but better God bless u and yours,Happy Thanksgiving day I wish u the best today and always bless day my friend 🙏🙏

I don't know what I did wrong but my front and rear diff exploded and my motor flew off ripping a hole through the top of the body. 😂 Actually, I know what I did wrong. I let my brother drive it on the motocross track at Argyll MX in Dixon and he collided with my KX450F dirt bike head-on it also broke the fork guards on my bike. He went backward on the track while I was coming out of a blind berm. 😂 She's fixed now. Not letting my brother near it again, lol. As always, you have so much control over these RCs Rich. It's fun to watch you jam back and forth full bore bouncing off all the bumps and transitions.

Are there any compatible fan mounts that are compatible with this setup? I have an xrt with the m2c fan Mount and 1100kv with a max 6 on 28/46 gearing

Rich i just ordered the m2c mount for my x maxx (tried another brand and wasnt happy), will the mount let the motor go down far enough for a 28 46 gearing (mod 1) or will i need to go with a bigger pinion and spur

NIIIICE 🔥

Awesome👍

With the motor being so close to the ESC I'd guess heat transfer from the motor to esc might make the ESC thermal shut down early. Tall gearing won't help your the pro but have you considered the space between?

SEND IT!!! Epic bash as usual, what was the horse rider's response, "yup, great day to double backflip an RC car 100 feet?" 🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂 Have a great Thanksgiving!

Wow so fast

Hey I have close to the gearing setup on my xmax with same motor and esc and mine hits the thermal cut off and when I put a temp gun on the esc its only like 135 do you think it's defective or just much hotter internally. And I have it set to the higher temp setting.

Awesome truck just wondering what diff oil were you running. Thank you and nice build

💪 💪 💪

Rich - is there room for a longer 113mm can ? I couldn’t tell if you had room to shift your Max5 forward or not.

Did you put 80 in all 4 shocks , how are you liking it . i have a set of the m2c pistons for my Xmaxx that i never installed thinking of adding them to the XRT instead lol

Hello Rich! I have a problem with my screws in the diff case on my kraton 8s, when i do big jumps they dont hold on. How can i fix it? Thank u ❤❤❤

Wasn't sure if u said but are u running the max6 or max5? Also do u think the max6 would be ok with the 1100 in a lightly modded xmaxx?

Awsome video Rich! Whats ur opinion vs the Xmaxx?

Awesome video. Did you change the oil weight when you changed to m2c pistons?

Your diff being slightly gone is all I could hear in the intro either way great video

Rich do you think this set up is OK for the outcast 8s , it's on sale for 239 but guys saying u need the Maxx 5 for this motor but it be over 300 if I buy individual. Ideally I like to find max 5 combo with this motor on sale , arrma kills me with these sales 399 for fireteam my frugality won't allow me to spend 4 500 on just electronics lol but good time with the sales . Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 👪

I ran 3446 it was an animal

SON OF A.....😂😂😂 Nice!!!!!

Will the mc2 drive shaft set up work for that 🤔

🤯🤯🌪🌪👍

An you link me what kydex you use seems like a useful material to have on hand for random fabs needed

Couldn't hear click at first but definitely got louder at the half way point

Were is this at in Sacramento

K8 EXB is still king for now. Nice try though, Traxxas. Still looks like a killer rig though!

Maaaan this makes me debate building a xmax! I don't no what time do I was going to max 5 combo an xmax but I don't no weather to wait for one if these essentially after being done properly which ones is the better aargghhh hahaha

What pinion and spur you running with the 1100kv motor

What are those two ramps?

wheres is this filmed at wanna take mines there?

You need a nitro my guy electrics are sweet but you need to change it up! I think you would like it.

Nah 25/35 with the 1100kv I got that in mine it’s stupid quick!!!!Also does anybody know of any fan mounts that fit on an xrt with an 1100kv? I also have the m2c mountzilla motor mount and I’ve been looking for something for a while now for cooling but can’t find anything

😮👍🏻😃

What batterys ?

One of the things about “upgrading” all the time. Is the truck just breaks constantly. A stock xmaxx, or XRT will bang for months without breaking.

That thing is absolutely effing reee-tarded. Holy crap I need one LOL

i still think without all these mods Arrma is on top

What you do is what I call bashing, or what Kevin Talbot does. I would never buy an XRT, but I would build one. Just start with the chassis and build everything else. I would never use Traxxas electronics anyways. The only thing that has stopped me from building one is I already have a fully built K8 and O8, and I don’t think a fully built XRT would even be as good as one of those.

Hey

I’ll be completely honest the truck does not look very impressive at all to me. Lots of breakages equal lots of headaches just as my Xmaxx did these expensive Traxxas rigs are not meant to send to the moon they do not have the professional quality of a Arrma and I’m not a fan boy I just love the hobby. I’ve just noticed a lot of paid representation out there of Traxxas. I’m getting my own. I’ll show you the truth.

With all the bulkheads I see breaking i would like to see just the bulkheads in 7075.. you see people with crappy bashing skill just send it with crappy landings I'm definitely not sold on this rig yet until you and m2c are done with it💯 being it's fully plastic this wouldn't be a smart choice for someone who lives in NY every Traxxas I've had broke every single time when it was cold because it makes the plastic brittle!

I've got rustler with same wheels as yours/oversized hubs. New alloy suspension, locked diff so can't burn diff gears out. I found if you make something stronger the next break is further in and more expensive. That's why they make them flexible and little things break or pop out not stopping or cost you too much. I added heaps and even with alloy chassis it still breaks things that are more expensive when launching them or flat out crashes. Avagud1

@richduberbash2966 Hey rich love your videos! Thanks so much for what you do for the rc community! I was wondering if you could pick just one between the kraton 6s exb, the kraton 8s exb, and the traxxas xrt which would it be!? I am willing to deck out whichever when i end up with. Thanks in advance! I know this is a loaded question

Hey Rich help me out. The one area I don’t quite understand is gearing. I’m a hick from Alabama so math isn’t my strongest attribute. I am country strong and can whoop that ass… my specialty lmao. Kidding aside. You change ratio so often I can’t keep up lol. I have 1100kv and the max 5 and 6 that I use in xmaxx and now the xrt. I see a lot of people suggesting 20/30 or 25/30 on Exo’s page. Have you tried those ratios? I have all the M2c mounts and stuff so I don’t know where the limitations are with that mount and what gears still mesh well. At any rate what I’m looking for is to get the potential out of my set-up with out going thermal on the motor but don’t want to be so conservative that I leave power on the table. I bought all this gear and want it to run like a raped ape. What ratio have you ultimately decided is best all around? Thank you.

Nice Session with XRT Rich!! She is not the most graceful in the Landing department 😜😆👍 I know this is more of a speed truggy, but it's GREAT to watch you Send the 💩 out of it 😆😆😆. Happy Thanksgiving!! Stay safe and Bash on from Colorado!!!
