In this one I’ve added some hub extenders to hopefully improve handling and some arctic camo to the ftx DR8 Here’s a link to the hub extenders. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1338453756...
These rigs are awesome and they re bombproof! I fitted these to mine(not the exact ones but 19mm) and it’s still going strong,well it was until the servo packed in this morning😂😂 New servo then some belted badlands👍👍 Nice mod and upload👍👍😀
Nice video, man! I'm your 800th Subscriber. There is nothing wrong with finding a great cheap upgrade. I love Amazon/Aliexpress/ eBay/Bangood specials. Sometimes you get junk, sometimes you get a diamond. The DR8 looks good, we don't have them in the States yet. I'm all for more companies making RCs, makes the big brands have to compete for quality and price. It's better for us the consumers.
Another great video. You are so lucky to have that location to play at! You’ll definitely have no issue with steering clearance now. You have so much more air control with those wheels too, no chance of self righting with the stock wheels.
Thank you. It’s a cool place to go I just just have to go really early as it gets really busy. Definitely lucky I’d never have known it was there without google.🤣
@@noobrccars4392 Oh thanks!! so you just need to punch those pins out of the hubs. I was trying that also but without luck, going to try that again, thanks again :) when is next video? like your channel!! keep it oldskool
I found that if I put a socket under the metal hub so your trying to knock the pin through into it that way all the force goes into the pin it was really tight but once it moved it came out pretty easy. Hope that makes sense I also put a small amount of heat into it by holding a soldering iron on it.
@@noobrccars4392 it looks great the problem I have is I’m disabled with spinal injuries so I need help to get out with any of my 50+ cars trucks crawlers and help is thin on the ground , I’m sure there’s lots of guys like me out there working on cars and trucks building all the time , I’m busy with a trx-6 and cross rc gc4 and some petrol 1/5 cars I just can’t get out to use them , every car I have is mint some have never been out the box like my Infraction and Felony.
Hi great vid, I've just bought one of these and was wandering if they are dboots 6s backflip wheels on yours, if so were temps ok running these wheels👍
Be careful mate, using wheels that are much larger could possibly mess up the diffs as they are not geared for them . I may be wrong as pretty new myself but worth checking
You may be interested by hard-core rc latest RU-vid post. He quoted an amazon UK deal where you could get two 4s batteries for only 37 quid. I ordered using the method and code he provided and they arrived today. Chuffing bargain . Ideal for my dr8
Can you share which one, please ? Or the amazon link, if allowed? I’ve just rewatched a couple of Hardcore RC videos and couldn’t find it ? I did see that they weren’t impressed by the DXFs.
@Rogue same here mate. 6s is better but for that money can't go wrong. I'm trying to share link with Patrick in comments below but can't figure out how to do it .
