Rival MT8 First Run on 6S (Team Associated) 

For Razor RC, it's just another bash. For that kid, he's going to remember this day for the rest of his life lol.

After watching the Sledge and the MT8 videos back-to-back, I gotta say the MT8 seems like MUCH more fun!

Sick bash sesh!🤘🏻Really enjoyed the vid

As always great driving skill. Thanks for sharing

LOL I like how the kid just showed up and started staring at it like it was some alien technology

Decent Basher! Worth Adding to the Collection! 👍👍🏆

Nice run and bashing, car seems good! Good job..

Some big hits there and it kept going. I will say, had me worried for a bit at the start, but it redeemed itself in the end. Hoping to get my hands on one of these soon (whenever they land here) and I'm super excited to get another Rival. Held onto my old Rival for years and even had a second (spare) one at one point, so very much looking forward to this new version. Cool video and really like that second area you went to in the end, I think you can line it up better there and get just as much air. Plus, it reminds me of my bash spot. 😁

I ain't going to lie, that was high and its not even Friday LOL.I think I like that truck. I've have a few Team Associated trucks over the years and only one was a huge turd, that was a rival 6s too. Very nice bash video 👍💯

Great vid, took some abuse at the second location 😲. No doubt RPM will bring out arms for this like they have done for the Rival MT10

Impressive! 🤩

Remember when you were a kid and you had that moment you were bitten by the "RC Hobby Bug", I think the hobby just recruited a new Fan! Lol Great video.

Wow it flies!

Good vid

Nice visitor at the end lol

Great bash session with some huge sends. Seems like the suspension mods worked out well and the tekno parts you’ve used are much more durable. I’m really intrigued by the very light diff oil choices - so much lighter than what comes stock and very different to a similarly weighted 6s arrma.

, hi Razor, would like your opinion, I have a kaiju and kaiju ext, I use them as daily drivers I don’t mind beating on, there plenty fast and other then sway bars, don’t need much. I had some breakages but not bad. Is the mt8’ Truggy platform make a significant noticible difference in performance to be noticeable? There not much more then 1/10 scale rigs and I don’t mind adding another similar one if it’s going to give me more performance somewhere? By the way, I made them all 50% breaks, they just can’t stop on 25% Thanks for great content

How would you compare this power level to the Punisher on 6s? I’ve been thinking about getting the MT8 cause I love my MT10! I mostly run my Punisher on 4s cause it’s psychotic on 6s.

I have learned that an old trick with the a-arms, is to boil them a bit to soften the fibers, i have never tried it, but it should work, and it is certainly more healthy than wd40 ;)

Seen someone fit the Kaju arms which seem to have way more flex in them, looks like Associated have made their arms a little stiff same as with the MT10, more like they are for their race cars. The flexier arms should help with the bouncing as well I would think

This think took a beating...i believe it holded well..

I'm thinking about buying one of those new kajuis just to have spare parts for my MT8

I hate that on off switch that was my first complaint. I do love this truck. I wish rpm would make some a arms for it. It’s definitely in my top 3 rcs. And yeah I think it would need a fan on 6S especially if you’re gonna run it hard my temps were a little higher than what I like to see. But it’s an awesome truck again. Nice video bro

Great video I am currently looking around at do 6s speed bashers and wondering what I should get Have any recommendations

Really love this thing, but I broke my shock cap, lower and upper a arm and snapped a turnbuckle in half on a clean landing, on off switch kept turning off with nearly every landing as well. Maybe got 5 minutes of run time in and now I'm waiting for parts. Still a fun truck though, kinda wish I'd gotten the mt10 now.

You never mentioned what else was broken on disassembly.

Do i need change straps fit 6s

He just ran up on you🤣😂 MT8 is an animal. Doubles and triples was INSANE! Maybe time to get rid of the Kaiju's🤔

Wow, it took a pretty good beating, definitely needs a motor fan if not a better one, cant remember if it came with one

I've broken 2 rear and 1 front. The hinge pins are pretty weak too. I've haven't put 6s in it yet, hell it can't handle 4s.

Maybe rpm will have arms available

Damping looks better but that rear end is still kicking up a bit, I saw someone used some fuel tube to limit the travel on the rear shocks

I need advice. The last time I was in this hobby I had a fairly modded Losi stadium truck on nitro. The big gassers where just starting to come out(2004). If I’m to make this mistake again which cell count would be a step up from a very fast 2wd nitro truck? I have a feeling a 3s brushless Rustler will blow me away.

I'm down to the maxx v2 the mt8 or just a str8 up notorious for a monster truck. Which one would you pick out of the 3 after having experience with all 3

Great video. Uno I think it’s easy to say some RC parts weak when they are new. The testing needs to be thorough enough to really put it through its paces. I seen another video well lots and this one breaks really easily. The arms anyway. You sent it to the moon and it held up wow kinda surprised after all the arm breakages I seen.

Mine switched itself like 15 times off. How was your experience? I think my switch is to lose.

I had no interest in this car until I watched your videos. Now I want one so bad. Also, will you ever do a piece in front of the camera? It’s cool to put a face to the voice. 👍🏻

Ran 6s first time yesterday through mine. About half a 5000mah 6s. Found my upper rods bent but had the v2 Redcat replacements ready. Is it only the HW card that will work to program? I have the lcd box and it won’t connect. I’m gonna keep it on 4s I think with punch up.

Got yourself a buddy lol

Just go ahead and put the Kaiju arms all the way around. I put the Kaiju ones on the rear and left the stock ones on the front, broke the front ones

I found it was my battery cable hitting my on/off switch. Secured them and hasn’t happened since.

🤔 you need to turn your breaks up 😂

Shock is not playing....need to upgrade

I can’t see anyone else’s comments 🧐

I don't find the power to be to much when the car only can do 52mph top speed gobs of torque tho

Brilliant video mate keep the good work up have you watched my RU-vid channel I would like the thumb up if OK 👍
