Yes, I always love the sand fountains from the paddle tires! Nice ripping around again Rich! Your videos always look like a bit summer holiday! So glad that you love the parts. 🤗
Absolutely LOVE the FT 1/7 Kimberly😍. So much fun with the paddles sending sand and bits of broken driftwood bits flying everywhere 😂. She's only gotten better thanks to you and M2C 🤗. Thank you so much for what you're doing with these incredible, next level performance upgrades!!!! 😘😘😎💪👊👊
Sweet sand rip and get Brother Rich!😍Love the hum of the paddles! Killer on board footage! The sand rooster tails are wicked! Like a Cigarette boat with twin motors throwing water! Love it!😁Love the M2C and Basherqueen bling on it! So far all my Basherqueen CF has taken a beating!💪Such a fun truck! Looks like a beautiful day out there by the lake!😎💪🤘🤘🍻
Thanks so much Brother Eric 🤗. Sorry for the late reply. Been distracted and stressed with work stuff the past week 😝. This was a super FUN rip at the lake 😍. Weather was gorgeous last week.. Absolutely LOVE the sound paddles make hooking up and tossing stuff everywhere 😱🤣🤣. The FT is such a Blast and natural terrain animal. Planning to test the 1650 off the Mega ramp tomorrow. Digging Kimberly's parts for sure 😍. She's a perfectionist no question and it shows with her stellar upgrades. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
That was an awesome run buddy really dig the look of the paddle tires on that thing! Can’t wait till I get some decent weather and I can actually get a proper bash in again but loving watching you have some fun!
Thanks so much Brother Rocky 😜. Love the FT 1/7 😍. Such a rippin FUN all arounder. Time for a Beast motor set-up. I might've heated my stocker up just a pinch 😱😂. She seemed to lose some oomph after this wide open sand session. Much appreciated Brother 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
For sure Chad 😱. ARRMA did a wonderful job with the FT. So FUN to rip around on mixed terrain and truly takes a beating 👀. I've never enjoyed an RTR more. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Excellent job Rich! Super fun to watch those rear facing shots of the sand roosters! I've installed the Max6, 1650 combo on my Fireteam, with a 21t pinion! She is an absolute monster, with the Proline Dumonts paddle tires in the snow! Great work and fun as usual, thanks Rich!!👏🙌🙌🤟
Thanks so much Mike 🤗. Not sure if you read my vid description, but I'm dropping the 1650 combo in her tonight myself 😍. I've had the motor in my garage for months and my buddies LOVE the 4985 👍. Was planning on a 20T, but we'll see she goes. Paddles are so much fun snow or sand. The Dumonts have a wicked paddle design 😱😎💪👊👊
Great rip on the sand brother💪💯🔥 I haven't done one of those in a while and I'm certainly due😊 You got that Fireteam built like a tank for sure. That thing rips.
Thanks so much Brother 😜!!!! I was craving a good sand run and FT did Killer paddled up 😍. So grateful for the great weather and top shelf upgrades. She's a Ripper for sure. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 yes of course rich. Wether here in NJ alot too cold for a beach rip 😆. For bashing I have to wait for some warmer days. I would to know what shock fluids do you run in your outcast 8S EXB? The manual says 700cst. I'm gonna run the M2C shock Pistons as well if that makes a difference in fluids? Thanks 👍
@@paulrakis hey Brother 🤗. I'm running 40 weight front and 35 rear in my 08s. The M2C pistons make a HUGE difference in dampening and overall performance.
@@richduperbash2966 ok rich thanks 👍. Yes I know I can't wait to install them. Before I do heavy bashing I'm gonna pop them in. Wow 40W front and 35 rear ok got it. That's definitely thinier then the stock fluids I'm sure it probably alot better since your doing it
Another Great session Rich!! Those paddles were giving killer Roosters all over the sand!! The M2C braces with the BQueens center brace are just added insurance. That stock chassis has held up to your minor 😆😆😆 abuse!! This FT is a killer rig right out of the box. I like the wider stance you with change of hubs. Stay safe Bro and bash on from Colorado!!!
Thanks so much Ervin 🤗. Love the huge roosts 😍. The paddles sound so Killer rippin the sand. The M2C and Basherqueen CF bits are fantastic 😱. Perfect fitment and added confidence no question Brother and saves considerable gram weight. The wider stance truly enhances the overall performance. Very easy to do also. 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
That was awesome 👌 the rear view camera with those rooster tails were so cool! I can wait for this weather to warm up and take mine out for a proper bash! Love this FIRETEAM 🔥
Thanks so much Brother 😜!!!! I absolutely LOVE this rig 😍. The sound of the paddles tossing sand everywhere gets me fired up 🚀🚀. Hope your weather warms up soon so you can let her Rip!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊
Dude that was most definitely the best on board footage that I've ever seen on what was pretty flat but incredible to watch! She looks good with the additional width in the rear with the "truggified" setup I believe... great running vid man thanks as always 🍻
Yes indeed Brother Aaron 😜. It's pretty addicting just hauling ass launching sand everywhere 😂. Love the FT and she did Killer with the 3.8 paddles. Might've pushed the electronics a bit hard, but it was worth it. 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
Yes indeed Brother John 😱!!!! There's so much space and terrain to just haul ass full throttle 😍. Lots of potential to build natural jumps along with the ramps 🚀🚀. Hope we can connect again soon Bro. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Yet another great vid brother Rich. What a beast indeed is that FireTeam rig is and those upgrades are mint. I have to get myself some of those BasherQueen carbon fiber tower mounts for my new Mojave EXB that's on it's way. Those paddle tyres are brilliant. The rooster tails look huge from the inside footage lol. Like your standard ESC/motor setup, my Infraction motor overheats a bit too, so I'm gonna try the same fan I have on my K6s Max6 ESC which is the 28,000rpm Surpass Hobby fan, it's insane and works well on it. If it stops the Infraction motor overheating I'll let you know. Keep well bro and bash on.
Hi, amazing video, after running on the beach, what cleaning do you do? pressurized air, water, brush, lubricate everything at the end? Is the sand dangerous? any special advice? thanks
Thanks Brother 🤗. The sand isn't harmful. It's easier on the parts then fine construction dust. I will normally just air compress and do general cleaning afterwards. If it's wet sand that gets stuck everywhere, I'll do a wash, dry, and lube afterwards with Silicone Spray.
Killer rip Bro Rich! Never gets old kicking dust and ripping on sand dunes, especially with em paddle tires! Pretty cool watching it shoot out sand from an onboard camera. Beautiful CF Towers from Kim 😍. Good call on upgrading those chassis braces before it fails and possibly damage other things. Wicked bump flips 😜🤙. Wonderful sesh brother.
Thanks so much much Brother Chris 😜!!!! This was a much needed terrain rip 😍. Folsom Lake is a break from the hustle and grind. Total stress reliever just walking around enjoying the scenery. The FT did Killer in sand rail form 🚀🚀. Hate to admit it, but the Traxxas paddles performed awesome despite some reckless heavy throttle here and there 😱🤣🤣. LOVE this well rounded Ripper 😍. Big thanks to Basherqueen and M2C for the phenomenal hop ups!!!! 🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Whats up champ I got the bashing scene as always ingot a question for you and If u can give me a honest opinion i would appreciate it soooooo should I go udr or the arrma fireteam what would hold up better right out the box ?
Hey Brother 👊. Guys tend to buy the UDR for the scale appearance and design. I can't speak for it's durability from experience, but both the Mojave and FT 1/7 are more capable, tougher, and better handling from what I've seen. 😎💪👊👊
I blast my rigs with an air compressor at a bare minimum. I've found fine dust (construction dirt) to be far more taxing on the bearings and moving parts then dry sand. Wet sand in another story 😂. When called for, I do a full wash, dry, and lube. Simple Green and water 50/50 mix spray down, then rinse, shop blower, air compressor/towels, space heater. I hit all bearings and hinge pins with WD-40 Silicone Spray and then run my rig briefly. Don't ever put a rig away wet or muddy is my motto. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Thanks so much Brother 😜!!!! I had my plastic ramps in the car, but didn't need them thanks the buried logs. So much FUN roosting around 😍. Your parts are phenomenal 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
Great video Rich, although I have a question. What oil do you have in the diffs? I blew out the rear diff a couple of times😢. Thanks for your great content! Cheers, Pieter
What an animal with those paddles. This might be my favorite fpv footage I've seen in a whole haha between the front flipping and twin Mohawks behind it just an awesome view. It's getting harder and harder to not pull the trigger on a fireteam lol the carbon fiber towers must definitely be a help on the weight. Seriously enjoyed this video man the sand looks like a blast.thanks for the awesome video 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Thanks so very much Nick 😜!!!! The FT did awesome out there paddled up 😍. Glad the camera stayed on for the roost footage 👀. The hook up and acceleration is pretty insane. Stoked the weather was perfect and there was plenty of room to let her Rip 🚀🚀. The Basherqueen CF bits are crazy light and strong 👀. Props to Kimberly for her wonderful upgrade options!!! 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊
Thanks so much Brother 😜. The 7075 T6 bulkheads are from Basherqueen on eBay. Let me try and link you. Update.... Kimberly told me they're currently sold out.

I did notice one area starting to come unglued. Hopefully it has a decent rim bead for regluing. I'm use to patching my off-road stuff. My Duratrax Belted 1/5 tires and even a set of Backflip 6s tires recently came with really crappy glue jobs 😂. Despite the added work, I've had better luck buying rims and tires separately and doing my own glue when possible. 😎💪👊👊
I see you brotha! Any tips or advice on how to claim the crash back guarantee on the basherqueen towers? I bashed and crashed but I can't seem to get a replacement for my front kraton shock tower 😫🤣
I would reach out to Kimberly Sanches through "message seller" lower down at her eBay store. You could send a message via Facebook messenger as well. She is honorable in character and should take care of you Joe. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 hell yeah brotha!!! See that's why you're such a great dude and youtuber! You make banger after banger, respond to comments AND legit care about your subscribers! I'll definitely reach out to her. THANKS A TRILLION!!! 🙏🏾👊🏾🤘🏾💪🏾
That's an older GoPro Hero session 4. I use one on my head and another for onboard footage. It's taken a pummeling through the years and is still going strong. 🍻😎💪👊👊
What i see here, and in most other videos, is that everybody's upgrading parts, right after they buy seemingly a tough buggy. So parts that used to break with all the other cars like for instance Kraton, break again with the 'all new' Fireteam. And what a lot of people are saying who bashed this one, is pretty much the same as what i am saying; R&D did not do the best job when creating and testing this one. I have to say, i really like this one and i might buy it, but just will not bash it as hard because it just can't handle it. Nevertheless, thanks for vid.
Don't put too much weight into what "guys are saying" online. The truck is actually very tough bone stock. ARRMA actually did lots of R&D and made nice improvements you only notice when you start taking stuff apart and looking closely. The truck is tougher than a Kraton by virtue of its massive bumpers, cage, and overall integration of contact points. I honestly didn't "need" to upgrade anything, but I did take weight off the truck by switching to lighter and stronger carbon fiber. I also love to wrench, modify, and upgrade regardless. The stock plastic braces never broke and I completely sent this rig multiple times the previous runs. That said, if you like bashing hard, alloy braces are a standard upgrade. Don't let others opinions discourage you from getting this rig. You have to see for yourself. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Rich, almost bought the Fireteam, when i checked the prices on certain parts. For instance, a front-diff is 72 dollars.. A center-diff is 88 dollars (when converted from Euro to Dollars). Are these normal prices? because if that's the case, i hope those diffs don't break anytime soon.
@@graphicalsolutions1899 I'm not sure what current normal pricing is, but I never replace an entire diff if an issue arises. Just replace what needs replacing. Similar to replacing a bad bearing or really worn outdrive cup. I reuse every part possible and only buy what I specifically need. If I break a planetary gear (on rare occasion) that's what gets swapped, not the whole diff. These are wearable parts that take maintenance anyways.
Because you only need them on the rear just like a real sand rail. The trucks turn better with regular tires up front and cut through the sand better. The rear paddles do all the work with weight transfer on throttle. 🍻
@@i4nic256 yes indeed. The key is making sure the wheels are the same diameter. Traction is always variable in the sand unless it's smooth and dry. Paddles put serious strain on the electronics, more so than the diffs. Gotta watch temps closely.
Awesome video Rich !!! and really nice editing too !!! I liked the onboard camera view showing the unbelievable rooster tails. Hey have you ever considered leaving the surface and going into RC planes, think you would be really good at it flying EDF's 2' off the ground ?
Thanks so much Brother 😜. I tried to toss in a mix of onboard footage. The paddles absolutely send stuff flying 😱🤣🤣. I had sand falling out of my hair later at home 😍. Definitely want to try flying sometime. This spot attracts really skilled heli, drone, and fixed wing pilots. Huge lots for take offs and landings and simply gorgeous scenery. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Hey did u know u can put the losi monster truck body on it and call it a monster truck conversion, in reality it's jus a body swap..LoL nice rip dude👍👍💯
Thanks so much Billy 🤗. I'm sure we'll see a few sick bodies going on this platform 😍. The cage has some serious advantages though. So far it's taken a serious pummeling and integrates with the frame wonderfully. She rolls back onto her wheels nicely too 🍻😎💪👊👊
What if" you disconnected the front center driveshaft and went full 2wd!! M2c and kim are what make me really go deep in RC seriously.... Rich are Kim's basherqueen stickers irredecent now!!??
That crossed my mind about going 2WD 😜. Anything is possible. M2C and Basherqueen make such top shelf goodies 😱🥰🥰. Completely changing the game really. Yes on the stickers too!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thank you Brother 🤗. She gets moving with those paddles for sure. 😎💪👊👊
With paddle tires and stock front tires, a path across some of that water would be interesting. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Brother 🤗. I actually wanted to hit the waterline, but there was a couple dogs and too many people around the shore.
😎💪👊👊
Yet another great vid brother Rich. What a beast indeed is that FireTeam rig is and those upgrades are mint. I have to get myself some of those BasherQueen carbon fiber tower mounts for my new Mojave EXB that's on it's way.
Those paddle tyres are brilliant. The rooster tails look huge from the inside footage lol.
Like your standard ESC/motor setup, my Infraction motor overheats a bit too, so I'm gonna try the same fan I have on my K6s Max6 ESC which is the 28,000rpm Surpass Hobby fan, it's insane and works well on it.
If it stops the Infraction motor overheating I'll let you know. Keep well bro and bash on.
Rad rooster tails brother ! 🏁💪
Thanks Brother 🍻😎💪👊👊
Whelp, I wanted to see what that thing can REALLY do and the Duperman has delivered, as always!

I did notice one area starting to come unglued. Hopefully it has a decent rim bead for regluing. I'm use to patching my off-road stuff. My Duratrax Belted 1/5 tires and even a set of Backflip 6s tires recently came with really crappy glue jobs 😂. Despite the added work, I've had better luck buying rims and tires separately and doing my own glue when possible. 😎💪👊👊
Did the Traxxas tires fit on the Arrma hub or did you have to get traxxas hubs?
You have to Dremel off the plastic tabs on the Traxxas wheel hexes to allow them to fit a standard hex.
I see you brotha! Any tips or advice on how to claim the crash back guarantee on the basherqueen towers? I bashed and crashed but I can't seem to get a replacement for my front kraton shock tower 😫🤣
I would reach out to Kimberly Sanches through "message seller" lower down at her eBay store. You could send a message via Facebook messenger as well. She is honorable in character and should take care of you Joe. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 hell yeah brotha!!! See that's why you're such a great dude and youtuber! You make banger after banger, respond to comments AND legit care about your subscribers! I'll definitely reach out to her. THANKS A TRILLION!!! 🙏🏾👊🏾🤘🏾💪🏾
@@joeyfiend7864 thanks Brother 🤗. You bet 🍻
Sure I take care about you. Just contact me eBay and you get your replacement right away. 👍
@@Basherqueen thank you very much Kimberly!! I'll shall do it right away 🙏🏾
What camera you got on their rich?
That's an older GoPro Hero session 4. I use one on my head and another for onboard footage. It's taken a pummeling through the years and is still going strong. 🍻😎💪👊👊
What i see here, and in most other videos, is that everybody's upgrading parts, right after they buy seemingly a tough buggy. So parts that used to break with all the other cars like for instance Kraton, break again with the 'all new' Fireteam.
And what a lot of people are saying who bashed this one, is pretty much the same as what i am saying; R&D did not do the best job when creating and testing this one.
I have to say, i really like this one and i might buy it, but just will not bash it as hard because it just can't handle it.
Nevertheless, thanks for vid.
Don't put too much weight into what "guys are saying" online. The truck is actually very tough bone stock. ARRMA actually did lots of R&D and made nice improvements you only notice when you start taking stuff apart and looking closely. The truck is tougher than a Kraton by virtue of its massive bumpers, cage, and overall integration of contact points. I honestly didn't "need" to upgrade anything, but I did take weight off the truck by switching to lighter and stronger carbon fiber. I also love to wrench, modify, and upgrade regardless. The stock plastic braces never broke and I completely sent this rig multiple times the previous runs. That said, if you like bashing hard, alloy braces are a standard upgrade. Don't let others opinions discourage you from getting this rig. You have to see for yourself. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Thanks for honest reply! will help in deciding wheter or not I buy this one!
@@graphicalsolutions1899 you bet Brother 👊
@@richduperbash2966 Rich, almost bought the Fireteam, when i checked the prices on certain parts.
For instance, a front-diff is 72 dollars.. A center-diff is 88 dollars (when converted from Euro to Dollars).
Are these normal prices? because if that's the case, i hope those diffs don't break anytime soon.
@@graphicalsolutions1899 I'm not sure what current normal pricing is, but I never replace an entire diff if an issue arises. Just replace what needs replacing. Similar to replacing a bad bearing or really worn outdrive cup. I reuse every part possible and only buy what I specifically need. If I break a planetary gear (on rare occasion) that's what gets swapped, not the whole diff. These are wearable parts that take maintenance anyways.
Killer!
i love paddles in the rear only
Hey rich what do you think can I run the pro line sling shots on my fire team??
You sure could Brother 👊. So long as they're the 3.8's they should fit. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 ok great that's what I thought just wanted to ask a pro lol thank you
Love watching you rip the fireteam. What was outside temperature while you were filming?
Thanks Brother 🤗. It was about 70-75F outside. Really beautiful day. Soon it will be 90-100+ again. 😎💪👊👊
Hey Rich.....why do you only run sand paddle tires on the rear, why not paddles front and rear?
Because you only need them on the rear just like a real sand rail. The trucks turn better with regular tires up front and cut through the sand better. The rear paddles do all the work with weight transfer on throttle. 🍻
@@richduperbash2966 Will the F/R diffs be ok with the difference in traction?
Thanks for the tips, Rich.
@@i4nic256 yes indeed. The key is making sure the wheels are the same diameter. Traction is always variable in the sand unless it's smooth and dry. Paddles put serious strain on the electronics, more so than the diffs. Gotta watch temps closely.
@@richduperbash2966 Will do, thanks for the tips Rich. 👍
@@i4nic256 you bet Brother 🤗
Awesome video Rich !!! and really nice editing too !!! I liked the onboard camera view showing the unbelievable rooster tails. Hey have you ever considered leaving the surface and going into RC planes, think you would be really good at it flying EDF's 2' off the ground ?
Thanks so much Brother 😜. I tried to toss in a mix of onboard footage. The paddles absolutely send stuff flying 😱🤣🤣. I had sand falling out of my hair later at home 😍. Definitely want to try flying sometime. This spot attracts really skilled heli, drone, and fixed wing pilots. Huge lots for take offs and landings and simply gorgeous scenery. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Rooster tails 😁👍
😎
Hey did u know u can put the losi monster truck body on it and call it a monster truck conversion, in reality it's jus a body swap..LoL nice rip dude👍👍💯
Thanks so much Billy 🤗. I'm sure we'll see a few sick bodies going on this platform 😍. The cage has some serious advantages though. So far it's taken a serious pummeling and integrates with the frame wonderfully. She rolls back onto her wheels nicely too 🍻😎💪👊👊
I just picked one up, Fireteams are on sale today for only $400 bucks
what diff fluid are your running front center rear?
50/500/20k front to rear. 🍻
@@richduperbash2966 awesome, thanks!
Dose basher queen make the tower to tower for the k8
Not sure I've seen any 8s parts from Kimberly, but that would be a great idea 🤗. I use CF tubing over my stock braces.
😎💪👊👊
I would love one but it's an
awful lot of money in the UK...over $900.
I'd also want another body.
Yeah 🔥🔥🔥 amazing car 💪🏻💪🏻 arrma is the best 💪🏻💪🏻
'CKIN "A" BUD!!! Another panic attack inducing crazy run!! GOTTA love those paddle tires bro. How fast do you think she was going??..👍👍💯💯📸📸‼️‼️
Thanks Brother 😜. Love them fat sand roosts 😍. She was probably hitting 55+ wide open. She does 60+ with a 16T on the hardpack. 🍻😎💪👊👊
What if" you disconnected the front center driveshaft and went full 2wd!!
M2c and kim are what make me really go deep in RC seriously....
Rich are Kim's basherqueen stickers irredecent now!!??
Thats good idea use skinnier tires up front , it helps not throwing sand into the vehicle and be easier on the drive trains
That crossed my mind about going 2WD 😜. Anything is possible. M2C and Basherqueen make such top shelf goodies 😱🥰🥰. Completely changing the game really. Yes on the stickers too!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊
Can we see the fireteams wheels on the Xmaxxxxxx
I might try them on the little Maxx, but they won't fit on the XMaxx. 😎💪👊👊

nice , but your Front Tires is wrong Position - running direction is wrong - .lg
The fronts get better off road bite in the reverse position.
