I was watching your tuning video when I was working on the truck! I guess I didn't do a good enough job 🤣 It's kinda wild to have a handbrake effect without the hand break!
@RazorRC…can you post a link for the video regarding the rear end sliding on power? I had this happen with my Kraton 6s EXB. It ended up that my LSD plates were warped and locking one side of the differentials while the other side rotated normally. I threw a new one in and the problem was resolved. I couldn’t straighten the LSD plates to correct the problem and I had a spare one to use. But, I’d like to see how you resolved it. Thank you
Awesome stuff Aaron 🤗. Stoked to see the changes made a huge difference!!! The Backflips alone were a clutch upgrade 🚀🚀. Glad Horizon sent you a free programmer. Truth be told, consumers shouldn't be burdened with faulty electronics ever 😕. Hopefully we'll see better QA and pre release testing in the future. 😎💪👊👊
I'm sure it was mostly because of a couple other RUclipsrs. Small potatoes over here 🤣 I was able to get Horizon to send me the program box at no charge though!
Nice man , good to see it running like a Beast .... i just uploaded my run on it and i used my flysky nb4 right out of the box and i didn't have the issue ...
I was waitin for someone to put the backflips on! I feel they make it better. Does it react the same way as the fireteam, when it came out? Everyone said move the battery tray etc.As for, the rear end, it kinda reminds of a bent shock shaft or 2 shocks with different weight oil. Anyhow, the vid was a joy to watch. Dude, i want one!
Thanks man! Backflips are the tire to put on. It made it so much better 🤩 It drives similar to the Fireteam now. I lightened up the diff oil quite a bit from stock so I gained more steering. Might have gone too light. The EXB diffs are very different feeling compared to the standard diffs. I would wait on getting one until the ESC glitch issue is resolved. Other than the truck is awesome now. Very happy to have it in the collection!
It's really hard to tell through the camera but it almost looks like that crack has been there for a while and then finally just broke away because it is dull looking on the inner and where it is shiny that usually indicates a new crack where it finally let go . I use to do NDE testing ( Non Destructive Examination ) For cracks on semi trailer leaf springs for manufactured defects and stress defects . Nice Truck !
I am using the M2C EXB out drives. The Big Rock comes with EXB diffs, they just didn't advertise it. I am assuming that this will be their standard on all 6s trucks from now on. I always adjust my droop screws so that my shocks don't overextended 👍
I agree its naturally nose heavy, Turning up the punch makes a huge difference doesn't it? Definetly helps with air control. Even with my dxc5 I did finally get it to nose down in the air. I asked Horizon about a fix they just said thank you for being a customer?? I got a brand new defective esc out of it lol.
@GreatLakesRC they need to offer people something for this inconvenience of having to fix and deal with a faulty product. I couldn't believe they sent me one they had to know it wasnt going to fix the problem. First they have to fix why the programmer wont talk then deal with the people.that dont have one and how do they update the esc.
That performance should've been straight out of the box for the price😂. Glad you got it all sorted out Bro. It's looking and performing real good now. The stock tires are garbage I heard LoL 🤣. Backflips all the way. Awesome upgrades too!
Thanks Chris! Backflips seem to fix everything 🤣 I really don't like how they look though. Maybe the Big Rock rims on the backflip tires would look cool. I was relieved that it pulls it out of a nose dive now! Thanks for checking out the video 😀
I put in my flysky radio and I dnt think I have the problem. I was out today with it and it was ripping. Was testing the mx38 tires belted and none belted. The mx38s look so sweet on the truck. I have to just get a bigger pinon gear in there. The red looks nice.
MUCH BETTER at the start🤭 The 2 twisty jumps when you said it felt like a boost of power was quite strange🤨 No the esc is not 100% but your new set-up looks 10x more predictable as you said, awesome man!
@@GreatLakesRC Thanks for letting me know Brother I appreciate it. Geez Louise, how much money that will save versus purchasing a carbon fiber tower to tower brace. Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for all the awesome content.
@@GreatLakesRCAaron you’re the man! I love how we both have the same name. It’s gonna be a while before I have four trucks again though. I’m hoping to be able to save up and buy my first truck since selling them all to pay for the lawyer to win custody of my daughter sometime in the next couple months. Being a single dad my daughter comes first and always will. But when I do I will be getting the rods like you shared! I hope you and your family have an amazing holiday!!!
You have a list for the parts that you upgraded? I'm an fpv guy, and this is my first rc car/truck (arrives today) since i built my first tamiya black foot! I'm excited to bash this!
Unfortunately no list. It's the standard stuff. Aluminum chassis braces and then Carbon fiber tube over the stock tower to tower. Your gonna love the truck!
Nice job Aaron. You definitely made a lot of changes. I don’t think I notice everything right not since I’m driving in snow and ice. So good handling isn’t something I would notice. I am going to stick to my original theory that the stock tires suck.
I saw that video as well. I contacted Horizon and they told me that Spektrum has a fix in the works but there is no time table. The way the truck is now, it is driveable 😀
Nice run, glad youre warming up to it! Looks amazing too!
Thanks Avery! A little M2C love always helps 🤩
Nice run, glad it's mostly fixed! FYI, my tuning video is to help with the rear end sliding around on power.

Thanks for checking out the video Rich! The Backflips probably made the biggest difference. The Big Rock tire compound is a big miss!
Thanks to you ARRMA just released an update programming box they're selling to fix the issue you had with ESC lol. Great job man!!🙌👏😄
I'm sure it was mostly because of a couple other RUclipsrs. Small potatoes over here 🤣 I was able to get Horizon to send me the program box at no charge though!
@@GreatLakesRC Yeah I probably watch you more
Nice man , good to see it running like a Beast .... i just uploaded my run on it and i used my flysky nb4 right out of the box and i didn't have the issue ...
That's good to hear 👍 I think it's hit or miss who has the issue.
That's a scary glitch to have!.....nice sends!,and man, i wish i had that space at my house to play!
Thanks for checking out the video! I am pretty lucky to have a decent space to drive cars at home 😀
I feel ya, 1,000 investment could have gotten an XRT or 8s 999 Kraton!

The tyres seem much better!
1000% better. I hope Arrma updates the rubber compound on the stock tires at some point
Awesome stuff! Which of the M2C Diff out drives you got? The 6mm EXB? Also, how much did you adjust the droop? Thanks

They didn't send me a new ESC. Just said a fix is in the works 🤷♂️

Looked like it did the little cut at 11:55 I think maybe.
It definitely cut a few times. Hopefully Spektrum will have a firmware update soon!

Awesome! What did you like better, belted or non belted? I like the performance of the Backflips, but don't really like the looks
I think The belted ones have better handling. Need to do some more testing though@@GreatLakesRC
Awesome, I will be looking for that on your channel!
MUCH BETTER at the start🤭

Thanks man! It's nice to see results when you put several hours into tuning something 😀
Awesome to see the upgrades making the truck so much better!! Can you share where you get the carbon fiber tubing?
I got the carbon fiber tube off Amazon 👍
@@GreatLakesRC Thanks for letting me know Brother I appreciate it. Geez Louise, how much money that will save versus purchasing a carbon fiber tower to tower brace. Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for all the awesome content.
@@Adubbs87 Yep, the tubing is $20 for 4 tubes. You can do 4 trucks. Definitely a savings 😀

Jason, snow sucks! 🤣 I agree, the stock tires are really bad.
I tested new tires today and yeah the stock tires stink. I ran belted mx38's today wow what a difference.
Too bad with these escs. I seen video where they sent a replacement esc and thwy didn't change a thing.
I saw that video as well. I contacted Horizon and they told me that Spektrum has a fix in the works but there is no time table. The way the truck is now, it is driveable 😀
Like #60 that big rock looks nice 👍🏽
Thanks man! 😀
Just got my big rock and i will say the stock system feels so weak
Gear it up! 16t 👍
There gonna laugh at you when you call. I hate to say it ! But it’s true. I agree with you by the way.
Horizon? They sent me the new program box 👍
@@GreatLakesRC damn their customer service must be much better
