put 2 mill diff fluid in the Center Differential... This will reduce the Front wheels BALLONING! Look at all the forward speed lose when it's wheeling...

Needs thicker centre diff juice. Way too much power transfer to the front.

@Coyoterc1 2 года назад

Yes I was waiting for y’all to make a video. I just got this rc half off (broken steering rack). I fixed it (thanks to y’all for parts availability) and it’s amazing. Bashes so good on 4s. 💪 it’s my first team associated rc basher and I’m hooked. TA did a great job. 👏 4s is powerful enough 48mph is plenty for bashing. combine 4s with TA reedy powered charger it’s perfect combo👍 backflips and wheelies non stop. 🔥 Thanks again great video like always AMH. Can y’all do Sketer video next? 😎 🛻 💨

@The_RC_Dude 2 года назад

Sounds like you’re having a blast with it! Did you get it second hand off someone who bought it, broke the steering rack, and was completely new to RC, so they didn’t bother fixing it? Standing backflips on 4s is no joke, the Xmaxx can’t do standing backflips, and that’s on 8s! I was just thinking of the Skeeter too, it’s actually quite similar to the MT8, when you think about it. I think Corally is a UK brand, I could be wrong though. Amain may not review/stock Corally stuff because it’s a UK brand, but I’m probably wrong, after all, they stock and review the Kyosho stuff, and I think Kyosho is a Japanese brand.

@ramblingimbecile2295 2 года назад

I've found that most manufacturers claim their products are 6S or 8S ready but really they seem to perform better on a lower power. I've had a 3S truck that just tore itself apart on 3S but ran much better on 2S.

All team associated cars need a support strut added that spans from the top of the front and rear differentials. That's what I did to my pro light and now it's a virtual tank. No more cracked front difs.

@benklock4477 2 года назад

I have been waiting for 6 years for a company to get it right. Outkast breaks. Sledge is morre than hard to upgrade power. So. This has to be the best basher. $520...indestructible & completely upgradeable(8s). 8s outkast too expensive and fragile. Sledge 6s stuck(maybe) This can be upgraded easily,tuff with a cheap entry price to afford those upgrades. So far the most impressive one I’ve seen for 2022.

@Gavs_rc_hobbies 2 года назад

It's a neat looking truck, however I would be replacing that T plug and replacing it with an XT60 or XT90.

Why would you use this thumbnail? Looks like the center diff sucks you'll have to lock it up so what's the point of the center diff. We need tires that don't Ballon for that price. I keep it real anyway

@TEKonTECH Месяц назад

Its mostly the Diff fluid selection + the ballooning tires, I purchased belted tires for mine. I'll save the OG tires for stunting. Then I can gear up👍🏾

@Mckhus 2 года назад

So they had 8.2 bulletproof platform and instead of re using it they came up with “new” one which surprisingly fits a lot of kaiju parts… ehh it’s cool and nice truck still but expected more from AE especially with their funny part support for their bathers

@wordreet 2 года назад

From now on, I will NOT be buying any RC cars/trucks/boats/hovercraft/planes/puppies or take away pizzas etc that don't offer belted tires as an option! But seriously, the only reasons they sell these trucks with weak stretchy tires is because they're cheaper to manufacture, and to sell em to kids who want to show off. Yeah, and big kids too. I hate those useless tires! When I ordered my MT10 I ordered a set of belted tires the day after I drove it on 3S. Maybe I can use those stretchy tires on a rock crawler, or maybe not.

@zonegamma8197 2 года назад

@Technetica 2 года назад

Common misconception - but changing to a higher voltage battery doesn't require anything to be done with connectors. Connectors and wire are sized by current, so Deans work just as well on 4S as 6S, it just depends on how much current you are trying to drive through them. At 60-80A or less they're fine, but some larger RCs may pull more. Going from 4S to 6S increases power by 50% simply by increasing the voltage (P=V*I). In larger RCs that run 10AWG wires XT90/EC5/IC5 are much nicer because soldering 10AWG wires to Deans plugs is a pain in the ass, and 10AWG generally carries more current than a T plug will support.

@jbchannel2800 2 года назад

@1manrcvids286 2 года назад

Things looks pretty awesome, but why is there always at least one issue with every rtr? Why didn't they put in a 4074 2050kv or similar stock? That's a high kv and small diameter on the motor for 6s and it didn't surprise me you overheated. Tplug? Really? Why is the centerbrace not 1 peice?

@jonvoogd511 2 года назад

I can't figure out why TA would put a deans set up on a new mt rc if Dean's if such a bad connector. Why any rc companies would still be using Dean's especially when the to go connector today is XT 90s. Hobao was/is still using Dean's on their Hyper Sport Plus MT .The v1 Hyper 6s was a decent truck but the v2 looks pretty decent. I've had Team Associated RC'S and they've been really good RC'S so I'm impressed with this new truck even with the Dean's connector, and I wouldn't be afraid to run it with Dean's connectors .

@stokedGSXR 2 года назад

The tekno mt410 is a way better truck, although not rtr. The mt410 is a beast and while they call it 10 scale, it's using all 8 scale parts off the other tekno vehicles...

@vintajecheese7803 2 года назад

I don't know if it's a running gag to actually say "Awg" when referring to the thickness of the wire but just for those who don't know, AWG stands for "American Wire Gauge."

@thejeepinrealtor5742 2 года назад

I love the size and weight of mine. Feels like a church if a truck. When it drove, it drive very well! But it’s broken several times. Just some parts switched out to some Redcat Kaiju. No big deal. Just don’t think you’ll be getting a ready to go super tough basher. Just not what it is ha

The 6s and 4s are LIHV(high voltage) the esc wont fry by using them?

@AMain_Hobbies 2 года назад

No, because we didn't charge them to LiHV voltages; had we, the battery voltage would exceed the ESC capabilities. LiHV batteries can be charged and used just like a normal batteries, charged to 4.20V a cell. They don't earn their LiHV name until you charge them beyond that point. -Brett
