"Still KING" ARRMA Kraton 8s EXB Tire Test Backflips BB vs MX57's 

So fun to send these huge Beasts wide open 😱🤙🤙

Thanks so very much Brother Dennis 🤗. Loving both of these wheel sets!!! Definitely my 2 favorite for speed and killer handling 😍. Hoping the wheel hexes hang tough. Felt awesome to finally see the water level low enough to rip out at the lake again 😱🚀🚀. Huge props to M2C for allowing us to bash care free 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

Thanks so very much Brother Chris 🤗. Man it was so nice to see the water level low enough to rip around 😍. The storms from December and January filled her for the first time in years. Has a Blast out there and with the guys going full 8s send 🚀🚀. Loving the new Backflips and hauling ass with the MX57's. Really appreciate it Brother!!! 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

Thanks so very much Michael 🤗. Really loving both of these wheels. The MX57's are crazy fast 😱. Much appreciated Brother and have a wonderful weekend 🍻

Thanks so very much Brother 🤗. Love these Big rigs 😍

Thanks so very much Brother 🤗. Big Girl K8s is a Beast with proper power!!! 🚀🚀

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. Folsom Lake is my favorite spot no question. Big Girl can really stretch her legs out there 😍

Thanks so very much for the kind words Brother 😊

Heck yeah Brother 😎💪👊👊

You bet Brother 👊. I'd pick the MX57's hands down on 12s. Just check the glue beads and touch them up if needed 🍻

Thanks so much Chad 😁. The MX57's haul ass with big power. So much fun between the group bash and ripping at the lake 😍. Have a great weekend too Brother 🍻

Thanks so much Brother Avery 😁. Love these 2 wheel options. We'll see if these stock plastic hexes hold up. Thanks for making the best upgrades available letting us bash care free 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Josh 🤗. Yeah I've had a connector unsolder far from the car. Carrying these big Beasts long distances is no joke 😂

Thanks so much Brother Phil 😁. Getting back to the lake made my day. The misses was there too out of frame. Think she got a glimpse of how fun it truly is to rip full speed in the sand and gorgeous backdrop 😍

Thanks Brother 👊. Hope you had a blast out there 🍻

Thanks so much Henning and stoked to hear about your 8s builds Brother 😱🚀🚀

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. Big Girl is a special Beast indeed 🚀🚀

No doubt Brother. Stoked we could connect again. Hopefully Ian and Dave will join us again soon. It's a different kind of rush sending these huge Beasts 😱🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother Eric 🤗. Big Girl felt awesome with both tires. The MX57's are so crazy fast and the new Backflips have killer air control 🤙. Stoked we could hit the new ramp again and elated the water level is finally dropping out at Folsom. Truly is the best place I can imagine for full throttle pulls 😍. The Prolines sound wicked on the pavement and wet sand 😱. Weather was gorgeous and grateful to get out despite another boulder mishap 😂. Truly appreciate it Bro. 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother Ed 😁. Love that beach spot too 😍. So perfect for going wide out and absolutely gorgeous scenery. The MX57's are fast AF 👀. Really digging the new Backflips too. 🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Thanks so very much Brother 🚀🚀

Thanks so very much Brother Aldo 🤗. Fingers crossed the new Proline hexes hold up. The wheels are fast AF 👀. Been waiting for months (since December) for the water level to drop out at Folsom Lake 😱🚀🚀. The sound of the tires was just nasty 😂. Angry cocaine elephant 🤣🤣. I tagged 3 boulders with that hit, a makeshift fire pit. Was trying to drift left, but the tires hooked up and shot the truck right at it. Not the first time I've hit stuff and won't be the last. The scenery and fun factor was well worth it 😍🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. Yes indeed the tire sounds are wicked on the pavement and wet sand 😱. Definitely gets a bit sideways laying into the throttle. Love the traction off road 😍

Thanks so much Brother 🤗

Thanks so very much Brother 🤗. Big Girl felt awesome out there. I'll definitely give a camera update some thought. Really appreciate it. 😎💪👊👊

Thanks so very much Brother 🤗. Love the MX57's. The new bigger Backflips were such a stellar move by ARRMA 😱. Perfectly sized for these big Beasts. Have a great weekend my friend 🍻

Thank you Joseph 🤗

For sure Brother 👊. I've hit more things than I can remember through the years 😂

Thank you Brother 😁. I try my best to avoid granite slabs, driftwood, and boulders out there, but it happens sometimes 😱😂

Thanks so very much for the kind words Mark 🤗. Happy bashing Brother 😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 Still out there with my fully equipped m2c racing TEC MT 410 and my fully modified Outcast V2. Really don't have the area to run any truck bigger than that but I am so content with those two trucks. They are my most favorite stunt trucks l have ever owned. Have a good one Rich. Keep making your videos l can't get enough of the jumps you do and l love how you go through the ass kicking bashers you build before you send them.

@@Schmidt3850 thank you Brother 🤗. The O6s and MT410 are perennial favorites of mine. Appreciate you sharing 🍻

Thanks so much Thomas 😊. You might just be having bad luck. If it's the ring gear, there should be a single bearing shim from the factory on the gear side. The internal diff gears usually won't strip unless the diff cup is damaged, screws come loose, or possibly the outdrive gets really jammed up 🤔. I haven't had any issues geared up or running Silicone ear plugs center.

Thanks so much Thomas 🤗. First ran 34/34 gearing with the 840kv years ago and the temps are perfect 😍. Max5 does awesome and so do the packs.

Thanks Brother 😁. I've had some wicked nose jobs myself through the years 😂. Hopefully your O8s is up and running. I'm definitely interested in the Mojave 4s 👀

@@richduperbash2966 yeah man I got all the parts on order. I went with the m2c rod ends for the chassis braces as I broke on on impact. And I got the Mojave 4s on preorder as well.

Yes indeed Brother 👊. The fitment and tolerances were perfect with mine. 🍻

Hey Brother 🤗. I used an Outcast front tower and front shocks on my K8s. Kept the stock rear tower and shocks 🍻

No plans at the moment 🤗. Aldo Loyal has some great 12s G2 combo vids with his. I'm happy with 8s with the proper motor and gearing. She's fast as heck 😍

I'd probably try 34/34 or even over-gear the pinion 2-3 teeth if running 8s. 1/1 gearing is a good start with 800kv motors.

Yep. Bought them both online from Jenny's RC. Save a few bucks usually. 🍻

You're not necessarily doing anything wrong. Driveshafts and pins can snap if you're landing on throttle or dumping the throttle hard over abrupt faces with heavier wheels and big power. They can also snap from bad wrecks. I've done it myself several times through the years.

LMAO 😂. Yes it sure is Josh. I was hoping she'd pull it off 😍

Absolutely no heat issues with this setup. My best guess (assuming your bearings are all good) is the stock EXB tires are ballooning and putting some added strain on the electronics. Could also be a weak connection/bad solder job.

@@richduperbash2966 the tires were ballooning pretty bad, i was giving her the beanz in a flat area alot. But i will check the soldering as well! Maybe get some masher xp’s thanks brotha!

I started with the 840kv in my K8s years back with 34/34 before experimenting with the 980, but in hindsight was experiencing cogging I thought was from over gearing before discovering a failing connector/solder job. Both are fantastic options with the right gearing. The 980 is perfect for the Outcast and fast as heck in the Kraton with killer top end.

@@richduperbash2966 ok I thought I remembered you haven the 980kv at some point. I have the 980kv geared 30p/39s in my o8s exb and it's perfect for it. The k8s it ran little hot with same gearing, but with a xmaxx heat sink and fan it was OK. On the o8s I don't have the need for the heat sink or fan so I'm thinking I'll keep it there and possibly try another kv motor for the k8s. I still have the xlx2 1100kv combo i got as a replacement for the same system that burnt up in my k8s when it first came out. Lol to afaid to run it an loss my whole truck possibly. Lol so gonna stick with something not castle. Have considered the new max5 g2 800kv 12s system since my k8s is loaded with upgrades that's got it a heavy metal machine. Not really looking to run 12s, but be cool to have the ability if I want to for open field runs when i travel with it to the park's to bash with friends. Have you tryed any of the g2 stuff yet ??

​@@mikellewis2346I haven't tried any of the G2 stuff yet. Just don't feel compelled to run 12s with the power/speed I'm getting already. The Castle 1100 setup rips. That's what my buddy Victor has in his K8s. I hear you with the XLX2 though 😂. It's great when it's not catching on fire 😱

You need the Kraton chassis, rear center driveshaft, rear braces, and longer mudguards.

They're pretty damn tough. The Outcast 8s EXB RTR is friggin awesome 😱

Hobbystar 56112 840kv motor with Hobbywing Max5 ESC. Gearing is 34/34. Motor is from RC Juice.🍻

Nope. Just the O8s EXB RTR with the same electronics. I had run a 5687 1100 in my original K8s RTR before going to bigger power setups.

Thanks so much Brother Aaron 🤗. King indeed. The K8s is incredible with the right power setup 😍🚀🚀

I don't hold it up there too long 😂

Thanks so very much Brother 🤗

The Talion is the ultimate speed basher 😍. So underrated.

Yeah we're definitely getting some FMX hangtime out there 😂
