Yeah when I did the 4s gearing change with stock electronics, it was very dull. When I got home after filming this, I remembered that the punch is still low at level 3. Turned the punch all the way up for the next run and increased the brake power, so it should be right where I want it on the next rip... I hope 😆 🤣
@@gonzodetroitify Update, after a few more tests, the 4s is a fail for me. Perhaps the set spot is on 5s, but ain't going to do all that 😆 Going back to 6s.
So i just noticed RPM is making arms now for the MT8. I still want one. It was the most id been excited to come out but it got slammed so bad. Coolest looking truck ever in my opinion. If i cud find a good deal on a roller or slider id love one. You ever tried the MT8 body on LWB MT10? Love that body. ✌️
Yeah I couldn't let the bad reviews stop me once I saw it used the same and as redcat kaiju. That's what I used till last year when rpm came out with their arms. The redcat ones are direct fit, and work well if the weather isn't that cold. Redcat makes aluminum and plastic hubs that are direct fit. The redcat plastic is much better than TA, so even the plastics are an upgrade to stock. 😆 Next problem on the rig is turnbuckles, but I use arrma 5mm turnbuckles, and have never bent one since swapping. But yeah if you get one, I got the answers for ya to make it a reliable beast. The mt8 body will kinda fit mt10 but it's really wide and will need trimming that might hurt the looks of it.
@@captaincouldverc thanx man. TA needs to step up their plastic game! I got the Helion Avenge when it was discontinued for 199.99. Loved it! Then parts ran out and i was S.O.L.! Then i saw TA releasing the rival and was all hell yeahs! But to discover quickly the plastics were much harder/lighter and didnt have the flex as helions plastic but still the TA mt10 is a tuff truck but it isnt as tuff as the helion was. The wheelie bar was all they had it beat on. But thanx to TA the old Avenge lives on and im grateful. Love those rigs. Axle stubs are a bitch. Traxxas 1/10 fronts is what i run on the rear HD’s and no real heavy tires or ones with a lot o side grip. TA should really do V2 with some minor upgrades as u have done and put the MT8 back in the game! The potential of the platform is certainly worth it! Redemption TA CMON!
@@cds1223 We'll see what they do. The next drop is supposed to be a 7th scale street basher licensed Hoonicorn mustang. Maybe they got stuff in the pipeline for the summer? Or next year? All I know is in few months I think I'm going to get that new little Rlaarlo Omni Terminator rig. That thing looks like a certified majestic unit for 199!
@@captaincouldverc yeah it seems to be getting great reviews and theres been lots of small cheaper rigs proving to be good bashers lately. Maybe times are a changing! Idk what is so hard about making things out of stronger materials. Hell a chopping board wud make a tuff truck lol.
This is the saver mod I came up with when I found a bad fault in the stock saver system after a few months of owning it. I eliminated the stock saver and installed this one do the job. The saver is a Treal made for losi LMT or an axial Ryft. I'll go on the fb mt8 page and tag you in a post that Mit Snori did detailing this modification. He's got a bunch of details on it there.
@@captaincouldverc You are the man. He did say he got most his modifications from you. I bought the aluminium servo saver nut as I also identified the issue almost out the box ha ha. That nut didn’t even last one bash session before I put the stock plastic one back in. I run a perfect pass which is wasted as I’m constantly tightening up the saver nut. I’ll be looking at your modification for sure. Epic dude nice one. 😝😝😝
Yeah Mitty is the man and gives credit appropriately. Unfortunately the aluminum saver nut isn't the fix people think it is. It is temporary at best and only covers one of the problems. The other problem is dirt and moisture will work its way between the plastic collars of the stock saver system, and will eat itself away from the inside out after a months, making the steering very sloppy over time.
@@captaincouldverc Yep, spot on. I have the sloppy jalopy steering with a top servo right now 😂. Worst buy I ever made at nearly £11 , what a rip off. Screw cross threaded the nut and then had no steering at all. Currently the perfect pass was just a waste of money!!! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Look forward to getting all your knowledge installed on my MT8 which I’m trying to make EXB. I love the little beast so much I’m trying to bring my own part upgrades to the UK but the small list of parts I have selected to be made in 7075 come to £30K to manufacture and produce min order of 200 each!!!! Nothing is ever simple my man. 🤦♂️
I hear you on the manufacturing side of things! 😆 I'm getting ready to do a small first run of some carbon fiber parts for the mt8. Going to drop some carbon fiber center brace rods soon for some channel fundraising.
