When the Team Associated MT8 was released, there was a big issue with the plastics. I've managed to sort some of that... but is it too late? Me and my Son took the Team Associated MT8 & MT10 to the Skate park. Which lasted the longest? I'm Using $12 Redcat Kaiju EXT Arms on the MT8. Full Send!

That "final send" was a glorious jump! Smooth as glass.

@Thatonepontiacfanatic1997 Год назад

I know this is a late comment but i believe the upper arm breakage is caused by the fact that the only thing limiting suspension travel is the diff cup on the differential and the upper arm this causes some what of a binding issue where under full suspension compression the dog bone will touch the inner diff cup and the upper arm takes the brunt of that force causing it to snap the metal turn buckle piece right at the base of the plastic upper arm piece where the arm attaches to the diff case. Here in the states we have the redcat kaiju which suffers from the same issue, the arms are compatible between the 2 trucks as seen in this video and although slightly stronger the redcat ares are still prone to break for a more permanent fix cutting a piece of nitro fuel line and slipping it on the base of the shock shaft as a suspension limiter seems to eliminate the binding issue. As for the lower arm rpm now offers lower arms for this truck I am currently in the process of testing fitment of the rpm arms on a redcat kaiju. Know its a long comment but hope this clarifies the issue.

Mt8 turnbuckle recommendation: Get a set of 5mm arrma exb turnbuckles. They're dramatically stronger and they won't pull out the threads like yours did. You'll 2 sets of 5×50mm for the upper camber links. One set of 5x65mm for the steering. One 4.5mm drill bit. Carefully bore the holes with the 4.5 bit, install arrma links and you'll never bend, break or pull the threads out of one ever again. I run them on mine, and they.

@rcicons4915 Год назад

Nice to see them launching together. Was so surprised how fragile the 8 came stock to the 10. Night and day. Good to see it a little more robust.

@TomleyRC Год назад

Yes.. it was night and day, and that's what caught people out. Hopefully thy'll not make that mistake again!

@MauzyrockRC Год назад

What a crazy beating they both took! I am interested in the MT10 now more than ever!

@flat-out Год назад

Yeah go for it man get a Rival MT10, I have one and feature it in my channel here. Take a look at my vids

@FeralRC Год назад

I bought our MT10 on your and Heavy Metal RC's recommendations. Of course I preordered the MT8. So far the only failures I've had were from my own stupid mistakes. My toddler has a better track record than I. The RPM control arms and titanium turnbuckles seem to have done the trick for mine. Absolutely love it! 4s is all we'll run it on. Thanks for continued excellent content!

@thejeepinrealtor5742 Год назад

Love mine :) The size and weight is just great for the areas I drive most. But its silly how pleased I am when I run a pack and nothing breaks. 😂😂

@theminiatureconstructionco4556 Год назад

Nice bit of info there. That'll help MT8 owners out no end! My mates got the 10 and it's a tank, broke two of my trucks in one outing once through collisions! 😅

@SharkysGarageRCandMore Год назад

Great video, really good to see you out having fun with your son. The MT10 is awesome, those swaps on the mt8 really do seem to solve the issues

@TomleyRC Год назад

Yes, made it far more enjoyable to drive knowing that it could take a bit more of a beating

@qrisemrc Год назад

RC car jumping videos are always fun to watch. If you look at the second half of the video, it seemed like you could fly to the basketball hoop if you had a little more power. It's a wonderful video!!👍👍👍

@rc-hunters6831 9 дней назад

Great vid man, i picked one up recently noticed there was no service pack in box. Called team associated. To my surprise, they shipped new arms/buckles no problem/ no hassle. This things a BEAST at this price point.

@SnoriRC Год назад

Good video. Nice to see the ode MT8 getting some love. Drives really well - and a brilliant hobby truck because of the wrenching involved upgrading it.

@cogboy302 Год назад

I said on another channel, (ahem, Talbot), that putting plastic parts into a large pan of cold water then gently heating the parts up, (but don't boil them as they might deform), and then letting them cool gradually with the water stress relieves the plastic from the moulding process. It certainly used to work on plastics used in RC cars I raced in the 1990s. I used to break hubs & suspension arms until I started using this trick.

@lautrique Год назад

Glad to see the MT8 back! The softer/more flexible arms from the Kaiju definitely make it more durable and enjoyable. Not sure how much precision is lost with the more bendy arms, but it is a basher, not a racer after all. Great video as always.

@pltudinous Год назад

Never had a "proper" rc car before. It's because of your videos that I bought a wl toys and a decent balance charger last October. I've only recently got everything needed to actually use the thing because these cheaper alternatives have terrible shipping! But... I used it for the first time yesterday, and honestly I'm so grateful for the reviews you and a few others do on affordable rc. Might save up for another!

@MCsCreations Год назад

Fantastic bashing, Phil! 😃 It's definitely much better now! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

@therchotspot Год назад

Yeah, this is what I did with my MT8. I put out a few videos on it as well. I had high hopes for it. But my Kaiju is just better

@gordonv2456 Год назад

I'm glad I watched this. I bought a Kaiju and Redcat MT10 and I'm now seeing they get good reviews. They were on sale and way cheaper than the big RC companies.

@benbekemeier5545 Год назад

Pretty cool to see your boy enjoying RCs with you! Half the fun of the hobby is sharing with others.

@ReadySetRC Год назад

Those plastics is what's been holding this truck back. Great family run👍

@neilnevill6782 11 месяцев назад

I"ve been subscribed here for a few months, great content. I think this video popped up for me after i have been looking at the mt8 on various sites. It seems to be cheaper than the mt10 and is about £289 currently. That seems cheap so i looked up the kaiju arms.... out of stock everywhere. That leaves the rpm arms. Those, plus the arrma 5mm turnbuckles mentioned in another comment and alloy kaiju hub carriers totals £425 (before battery and charger) That seems very tempting but... is it? I'm assuming the big discounting of the car means it's end of line? New version coming or spares soon to dry up? I'm hesitant.

@AntiHeroFett Год назад

Made the same upgrades to my MT8 along with Kaiju aluminum hub carriers and spindles. Runs like a total champ and is very durable now. I got mine used but in mint condition at a good price, so what I saved on retail went towards the upgrades. It's a great truck if you're willing to put in some work. That being said, it should have been less problematic out the box for the price you pay. Also, RPM makes Arms for the MT8 now if anybody wants to go that route for an upgrade. I'm super happy with my Kaiju Arms. Front and back cost me about $13 total before tax and shipping. RPM Arms are about $35 for the front and back set before tax and shipping. Cheers! 🍻

@BobPavlow 11 месяцев назад

Man I’ve really been in love with that MT8. But seeing how easy it broke, when all the great RC RU-vid channels like yours, Phil, review them, I’d gotten past the urge to buy one. And got the Arrma Granite 3s 4x4 instead. Saved a few bucks and man the granite is awesome! Zero buyers remorse there. That thing is my little wheelie machine! 🤩 But, seeing you bring the MT8 back to life with some stronger parts, really has me thinking I should add it to my list from Santa 🎅🏼 this year 😂 Great video. And sorry man, I think your son may have outperformed you on those landings with the MT10. 😂 But that last landing you had with the MT8, took the trophy 🏆🤘🏼 That was some great bashing by both of you.

@Northbourne12 Год назад

Good to see you out with your boy

@django2467 Год назад

The redcat kaiju c hubs and knuckles in aluminum are quite the upgrade

@SnoriRC Год назад

Problems pretty much solved with those! That’s the route I went too. Great truck.

@Del350K4 9 месяцев назад

Terrific save @ 14:40! Happy Christmas, Phil.

@carling5214 Год назад

Bought the MT10 for myself for Xmas to get back into RC after 20 years, since having my nitros back then. Not had a chance to take it out yet as been so busy, but will very soon. Looking forward to it. Already looking at having a 2nd vehicle lol, might get the Rokatan Black edition. Looks fun after watching your vids and love the Mad Max vibes. Also like the look of the DR8 lol.

@TomleyRC Год назад

You'll have a blast with the MT10

@Pablo668 Год назад

Pretty fair assessment I think Phil. I'm not a physics talking guy but I think the weight and proportions don't work out quite as well durability wise when they go up in scale. It's like the 6s Kraton compared to the 8s. The 6s seems (from what I've seen) to have fair durability while the 8s not so much.

@dub_rider Год назад

great video Phil! so cool to see you having fun ripping with your boy, this hobby is so much better when you can enjoy it with family and friends :)

@mattyfresh9698 16 дней назад

Final send with the 8 was huge

@Rooonga Год назад

Just started watching this. My hopes are high. I love my MT10, so hoping you’ve sorted the MT8

@michaeldorich4485 Год назад

It was great see you two having so much fun. You made improvements in the MTA8. May be new plastic will help. I have also heard other RU-vidrs talking about the bigger tires and the rotating mass being a source of more breakage on some of the bigger trucks.. What's you opinion?

@Luke-en2tk Год назад

Big durability improvement, the piston mod will help even further you can still see it bounces too much when it lands rather than absorb the landings

@AlvarezAzel Год назад

Brought an MT10 over a year ago thanks to your recommendation, it's my go to basher for sure. I have only broken one front A-arm thanks to a stealthy tree root, decided to replace all arms with RPM and it's just ridiculous how tough it is, It's done skateparks, triple backflips onto its roof and sides and it just takes it! The body hasn't though, it's mostly held together with Gorrila tape now XD Also it's the pefect size for carrying on my back using a skatepack so when i'm mountain biking I can take it with me for some extra fun on the trails.

@teamjono69 Год назад

I’ve broken my MT10 multiple times… but then again, we’ve all seen my driving skills so it’s no real surprise…

@dexterbeattie7884 Год назад

Great video Phil ! Love my MT10. My daughter has taken over my 2wd Slash

@TomleyRC Год назад

Such an awesome Basher

@muskokamike127 Год назад

I"m wondering if the issue isn't the type of plastics, it's the fact that at the larger scale, they used the same plastics as the MT10 but it just can't handle the added weight. Probably it can take the weight and impact of the 10 but the 8 is over it's limit. Kind of like a manufacturer using the same suspension on a 1 ton pickup as you did on a 1/2 ton.

@goldenmanuever1176 Год назад

with the stuff you guys do, there has to be a certain level of expectation that things are going to break. this is equal to jumping a 1:1 vehicle 20m+ into the air. the fact that these vehicles hold up to this abuse is a miracle within itself.

@TomleyRC Год назад

I agree, and I generally will say if something is not as good as it should be. The original arms on this would break with only a small bad landing... so well below expectations for this kind of truck.

@goldenmanuever1176 Год назад

@@TomleyRC that does suck and I can tell you while I don’t “bash” my MT10 has been flawless with the only issue being the mounting pad on the extremely expensive optional blue aluminum dampers. Glad the MT8 comes with these out of the box.

@smallsoundrc9678 Год назад

@daylightdies7194 Год назад

@nickhathaway4617 Год назад

Wd40 the kaiju arms overnight blow off the rest.I never broke after. I also thought rpm has made arms i think. Lunsford titanium or arrma turnbuckles for uppers. Will make u love it. Also redcat makes Aluminum hubs if they are the same

@ST32605 Год назад

Had to give up on mine after I fitted the rpm arms the bell crank went then the hubs didn’t see the point in chucking any more money at it even tho I loved the my-10

@kashmurray1199 Год назад

Yes the MT10 is awesome. Now that was fun to watch.

@theconservativeconvict6353 Год назад

RPM makes a-arms for the team associated MT-8 and the come in blue so looks great too,bee running em all winter here on the Oregon coast with no breaks at all and on 6s🤙🏻

Dear Phil I'm fine. Not in hospital, just shaken up :-) because at 6:45 I was not home in housecoat with coffee & laptop, no no, In my mind I was right there, about to kick your rig over when suddenly I jerk sideways in my chair seeing an rc coming into view frightfully fast & right towards my face. Damn! that startled me haha thanks for the entertainment! hahaha Come to think.... are YOU alright?

@nltiro3387 Год назад

How do these things not break.. I broke the front lower suspension arm for my megae XB10 9~years ago the week I got it and stumbled upon it today while cleaning but can't find a replacement for the part :(

@kodak_jack Год назад

Which turnbuckles did you use, the Associated or the RedCat? The A-arms are a good example of why the aluminum BLING parts aren't a good choice. They have no flex.

@TomleyRC Год назад

Redcat on the rear... stock on the front

@EXTREMERC416 Год назад

My issue with the mt10 is that its n9t really a new truck it qas a re release of a previous manufacturer. So it gets me a bit worried

@tobydyes Год назад

the 10th scale Maxx breaks the upper A-Arms so easy I bet you they did the same thing Traxxas did and they are using definitely cheaper plastic

@GSG-lc5zm Год назад

Wait , "changed the plastics" Ok ,, hopefully on the mt8 , so it will be more rugged...Great But if they're changing the plastics on the mt10 so it will break like the 8 then -not cool. Don't need the planned obsolescence/part breakage.
