Those Method RC tires perform really good👍 I liked how it was looking with the 30T. Looked like a stunt truck. I installed the Max 5 and 780kv motor, ran with the 26T pinion in my gen1 RTR and left me wanting more. I upped it to the 30T and just waiting for the weather to permit.
I really dont like how even the EXBs are now RTRs. Putting your own electronics in them was one of the best things. Especially not having that underpowered Max6 combo.
@@spenn2007 A Max5 combo was 300 for a long time, a good Servo 50 and a RTR grade radio 30; so 380 for all of the electronics. Count in the cost for an EXB roller and you only ended up with around 50-60 more then the non-EXB RTR. But now you have FAR better electronics then stock and all the EXB goodies. At least its a 56 can now and not the undersized 49 can.
Great video! Bring a temp gun next time LOL! Speed on the 30t looks great for bashing and blasting around the park. Maybe ARRMA is just being super conservative?
As far as 8s rigs go, how do you like the outcast compared to the kraton, like ground handling and jumping wise? Do you prefer one or the other, even if just a little bit? I have a o8s and I’m thinking of doing a kraton conversion just to switch things up. I wish I could drive a k8s to see how I like it.
I converted my O8s to a full vitavon chassis which made it convert to Kraton size. I will say I honestly like the handling on the outcast way better. Thale chassis length makes air control lag
Hi Jay great video buddy. Yeah I see you loving the outcast 8s again. That new V2 exb Is awesome. I have on mine 27/39 gearing ans I love it. Temps can get alittle high in hot summer days but right now it's great. Got thr max 5 G2 with the G1 1100KV 5687 motor.
First Thanks for your videos on the Outcast, they were one of the reasons I brought one. Quick Question, I took it out for the first time yesterday and one of the wheel nut flew off. Do you put thread lock on your wheel nuts? Didn't see that in the instructions.
@@JasonPerrinRCVlogs Just FYI, I ordered the tires and used your discount code. Just wondering how were you able to change the settings on the ESC? The SmartLink programmer doesn't work. It keep stating that the software needs to be updated on the ESC. They seem to be aware of the issue and awaiting an update.
Grate video I love the outcast great truck I have a few 39th spur gears if you give me a po box or something I'll send you one for free I'm in Michigan so won't take long.Keep up good work
You need a downside to the jump.. landing it flat is the reason so many people just destroy their trucks.. If you have ever jumped a dirt bike onto a flat landing, you would understand what your doing to it..
I bought the method RC wheels because of you - Belted tires are awesome!! 🙏 Just posted my fuuulll Kraton exb rebuilt. To much fun 😆
I can't wait to give my Outcast 8S a spin! I just upgraded to an 1100kv motor with 27T pinion. Sounds like 30T might be a bit much.

I run 39/39 with a 800kv in my K8s. And it's a monster.
Go with a Powerhobby tornado 40mm 16k rpm fan. It's plugs right into your receiver and is an absolute game changer.
K8/O8 use a 50mm motor fan.
I have seen stock set up with the speed pinion in the box do 58.

Nice air control and backflips. 👍🏻
Just ordered mine with the $200 discount. Can't wait
Check your diffs as well they may be low on fluid which will cause overheating
This was a great video to watch! It was very informative and fun!!
Thanks. I enjoy what I do. :)
Nice video! do you now prefer the outcast 8s over the xmaxx 8s? what would be the advantage of one over the other?
29/47 was the sweet spot for my kraton with the hobbywing 1100kv 5687, a really hot day might overheat it though
How would 25/39 compare?
How would 25/39 compare?
How do you feel about 25T pinion / 39T spur on this rig for aggressive offeoading and bashing?
8s is a beast i love the rc world 🌎
Nice video bro about your heat issue it may have a little to do with the 130c and the wet grass.

Nice run question how long are the front toe links? On outcast 8s left and right thanks.
Are those kc rc fans durable? I feel like my fans always break from hard landings
I would like to know if you still using the 30t pinion or did you change it ? Thanks
Good video 🎉.

This will definitely be my next #TRUGGY

Did I JUST SEE THIS GUY PROGRAM A SPEKTRUM ESC WITH HOBBYWING PROGRAM BOX?
Yes you did. The card works. The HobbyWing digital card doesn’t.
Yes that’s how I did mine I think esc is all hobby wing still no spectrum programming That’s why it has more power.

Not on this truck. Some smaller trucks I have had that issue.

Use hobbywing worked with mine
How do you like the 800kv compared to the 1100kv?
I prefer the 800kv. The 1100kv is nice. But the 800kv geared properly is better.

Very nice of you and thank you. But it's always nice to have spares. You may need it someday.
I’m also getting in Michigan, Oakland county..any good bashing spots u recommend?
@GamezOfWar I live in the Middle of Michigan Beaverton Michigan but yes its all farm country come to Beaverton and bash away
All my pins were loose I had to locktight all of them
My motor gets so hot when water hits it, it evaporates

I had one and the rear bearing, kept falling out piece of crap
Rear center bearing? They had a bad batch that caused that to happen and it's been fixed forever ago.
Traxxas is way better with customer service. Arma wouldn’t even replace it. The part that was broke and I had only had it for eight days.
There is no way lol. Arrma warranty is 2 years vs Traxxas 30 days 😱
Traxxas warranty is a joke. They should just say "No Warranty"
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Traxxas is a joke all around..over priced and over hyped proprietary junk
@@GamezOfWar the new electronics in the outcast definitely makes the Xmaxx look overpriced for what you get. 🤣
