- Out for a test and bash with the Arrma Kraton 8s EXB. Running the New Proline Masher X HP Belted tires, I was VERY impressed! They handle great in the street, truck fly's balanced and they perform killer in the dirt! Finally an option that works for the 1/5 scale line! I tested the tires on several bash spots in different terrains, They did great as expected! Also testing some Definitive Solutions ABEC-5 rubber sealed chromed bearings in the hubs! Butter smooth and very durable! HUGE thanks to Proline, Horizon Hobby, M2C Racing and Arrma!
Thanks for watching!

Awesome airs and killer ground work 👏. Loving these tires. Gotta get some! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome rips man! Tires look cherry! Need me some of those bad boys!🤩⚡⚡🚀🚀
I'm constantly amazed that a 30 lb truck can basically fall out of the sky with no damage. Damn these things are tough.
I've seen many Kraton 8S movies, but in handling and grip, this is by far the most impressive video I have ever seen. It shows and proves how impressive these Masher XP tires are. It is level in control and being planted on the ground which no other 1/5 scale 4W RC can match. Your videos are F. awesome and the same I can say about your driving skills. Keep up the great work.
I really appreciate it! Yes those are great tires and I still have them!
@RC DUDE81 < I decided to buy the Kraton 8S EXB. Including Castle xlx2 800kv, new coolers, Futaba T10PX, RPM parts, 11000 mAh 4S battery, and the Proline wheels. And the stuff to read all the data of the Castle motor through the Futaba.
These take every ounce of punishment that my 1100kv/XLX2 setup throws at them! Definitely the best tires available for the platform rn!
Awesome Rip Brother Eric 😜!!!! I figured you'd like the Masher X's. The speed and control is unlike any tire I've tried. Props to Proline for nailing it with this lighter, high performance option.They look great with the 840 34/34 setup 👍. Nice to see another bearing option too. That last construction site looked wicked!!!🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Thanks Brother Rich!👊Yes this is definitely a dream tire for this truck! Tried several other tires and the stock tires simply don't last 2 runs!😆So nice to have a Katar like wheel that really showcases the performance of the truck!😍We'll see how they hold up long term but so far so good! Yeah the last construction site was actually the old mega mound spot. They are all graded down now.😝 at least there were some nice flats to drift and haul butt.😁 Sometimes we gotta get creative with these ever changing bash spots. Had a blast and thanks for your comment bro!😎👊✌✌🍻
Just rewatched this..... your right, seems to be best handling for street, ramp, and construction rough sites, the signature RCDUDE81 power slides were in full effect. Great airs and control as always.... Love the "Lets just Send it🚀🚀😎👍" Slight loss of rotation and correction ability because of the belted but it's a trade off for performance and durability.
There just does not seem to be a middle ground durable with some ballooning and not crazy weight/price .... These seem a great balance of all that's need for big power.
Great vid brother.... Rock on!
Thanks bro! Yeah they are a sweet spot for sure! Truck feels so much more light on her feet and agile than any other tire ove tried! Probably not the best in bumpy terrain but definitely a winner on street and low pile dirt! Almost like a 1/5 Katar!😁I could probably gear up a tooth or two. I did feel like I lost a few mph from no ballooning but we'll see. Thanks for your comment bro!😎🤘🤘👊👊
Used them since the early 80s
Ime a 75 child. My dad loved slot cars
Great video as always! I think it's awesome to see different tire options in use and being bashed to the max!!!!! If they aren't coming unglued from the punishment you're putting them through then they should hold up to just about anything!!! 💯💯 Love the footage!
Great bash Eric. Always a joy to watch 👊
damn this place looks like a blast tons of jumps and terrain variations
Found out these tires dont like the asphalt at my work started shreading the tread
Yes sir awesome tires and bash bro. As always can't wait to see you and Rich with the new Typhon tlr👊👊👊👊💪💪
Thank u buddy for your advice.
Ive been following you for à While now.
Big thanks for your knoing and tricks.😉
Loved it mate! Good looking tyres, I hope they work out long term. It's a great basher and it sure looked like a lot of fun out there!
Good God you are brutal on your machines!! Keep up the killer footage!! 🤘
Oh man sooo nice....Just spend too much money on upgrades because of your video...you should explain my wife ;)
really entertaining video as always bro!
🤣Sorry bro bad influence I guess!😜
Sick session with K8exb Eric. Those mashers does kinda resemble the katars. They hook up killer on pavement which is awesome for some high speed ramp hits! Not whole lot rotation in the air for flips but balance air control. Wicked huge launches as always and awesome rips and power slides. Another amazing upload Ramp Blast Bro!
Wow! Just when I think I have seen your biggest jumps you go and do that with the K8S 😱🚀🚀 I seriously don't know how it held together even with all the M2C! Looks really fast with those tires 👍👍
Thanks Aaron!👊👊Yeah I had to send her a few times!😜Only damage was a bent front M2C shock shaft. Had a blast ripping it around in the dirt! So agile with the Masher X's!🤗😎👊🤘🤘
✌🏻😎🏴ABEC 9 & 11 & S versions are really really good 👍🏻
Killer upload man. Looks like she almost took ya out again🤣🤣 got out way just in time. And keep on just sending it😜😜👊👊👊
Awesome vid brotha🤙 quick question why the 34/34 over the 39/39 gearing?
Its looks big and heavy those tires..fly good..awesome rip bro💥🔥🔥💥
I just switched to belted tenchers on my big rock and had to step up to 4s to get the air control back. Totally worth it.
Just a morning comnute for Erik! 😁👍
Awesome rip dude👍👍🔥💥💯🙂
Wicked bash bro, tyres look great! Lucky in that double dude haha
Thanks so much Ed!👊 Yeah that double would have been bad carnage but it made it just in time!😱😆
@@RCDUDE81 near miss is as good as a mile bro lol
Great bash session 👊👊💯💯
So sick mate. Nice one :) might have to get some belted for my 6s kraton
Abec 5 good choice man. I run 2028 800kv sensored in my xmaxx and lockup x belted and never had an issue. 👍👍
Wow great video! You can make that thing do about anything.
Made my dear brother E 🥰. The EXB looked dialed as few and was some seeious sends😱 . I agree with the tires, they feel good on gravel no sudden hookuos or directinal changes., but killer on the street 🥰
Eric brother, may i ask what cst/wt ya runnin in your shocks ?
Thanks Brother T!🤗Love these tires so far!! I was running stock 40wt with the M2C setup. My shocks during some of the footage were running original prototypes that needed maintenance! Truck ran much better at the end of the vid and the street launches!😎🍻👊👊🤘
Those tires are definitely just what these bigger rigs need.how did the rims hold up with those awesome sends off the ramp? I've cracked many stock rims lol. So amazing seeing that big of a rig fly so high. Definitely going to look into those bearings it's nice to know I can get some abec 5's now. Thanks for another awesome video man look forward to seeing you getting it out again 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Thanks Nick! So far the rims are holding just fine! No cracks or loss of glue bead! I destroyed 2 Stock rims just from jumping so nice to have something that holds up!😎🤘🤘🍻
@@RCDUDE81 that's awesome to hear. I have done in many rims of the stock ones so this could be a money saver haha thanks bro
Great video
Great bash bro 👌
Im loving these tires already...
I had these on my DBXLE 2.0 and they didn’t last. They came unglued and the foams destroyed in less than 2 months.
I have the mad max’s on mine now (only used in dirt) and on my K12 I have the MX43’s.
Boss Swiss. 6 ball baring speed brings are awesome . Removable inactive sleeve so you can do full maitanance on them
Sup bud? Awesome bash as usual 👍. I really like my Duratrax lockup x 24mm belted tires. I might be try these. Thanks for for all the testing. My friend built a huge ramp, so now I can get double backflips easily with my 8s Arrmas and triple backflips with my X-Maxx with 1/5 electronics 🤣👍. Honestly for $80 for two of these tires, you can almost buy 4 of the Duratrax lockups or six packs. Meh, I wouldn't do it.
Hey mate love ya channel u should put Abek sevens in it
Man you do send your rigs 💪🏻 I’m always a bit worried I’m getting my motor a bit hot. But you run yours without a fan. I guess my question is what max temperature are you happy to run at? I don’t run massive gears and the esc isn’t to hot.
Esc cold motor hot is undergeared
@@moistmonk2371 Thanks. But what is an ok hot temperature to run at?
I try to keep my motor under 180 degrees and ESC around 120. I've definitely got both warmer but just need to allow for cool downs between packs!
Awesome video @RCDude81 😎
I’m putting an XLX2 and castle 1100kv in my Kraton 8S RTR. With that big motor and ESC, what’s the best 4S battery pack to run for high performance? I want to maximize voltage but hopefully not spend an arm as well. Thanks!
Nice bro! Honestly I like Zeee 4s 6000mah 100c's. Decent price and they pack a punch!😎👊👊
@@RCDUDE81 thank you 🙏🔥!
I don't know why but my kraton 8s exb constantly breaks even during light bashing: i jumped it about 5-6 feet high and my cvd outdrive broke(the silver part at the end of the outdrive). I have a lot of hope in the car because it is one of my only stunt cars and it looks so damn cool. But i just don't know why it keeps breaking... my first run i was driving it on a flat field in a straight line and randomly the arm broke. Some other time later my rear diff completely exploded!!!! How do i fix this????
Dam this makes me think twice
Blasting through a mound of dirt should not look that cool.... but it totally does.
Thanks man!! Yes it is awesome footage! I get showered with dirt too!🤣
If i ever go up to 24mm hex on my reeper id love to try out these tires, i went 3.8s to reduce weight on the driveline for more reliability with less drag
Hey,Great video! Could you answer a question for me? Can 34 spur /29 pinion fit?
Trying something crazy 🤪 ! 1100kv/max 5 Outcast 8s
Got it up to 65mph,so far!
Glad to see you have the same issues..hatchett xs from duratrax are same weight same pattern ( and half price;-)) and have awesome grip, however the air control becomes tricky.
Stock tires give you awesome air control but balloon and explode.
Interestingly, if you stick these on the oc8s you've got both awesome grip AND air control.
I guess best tires for kraton 8s exb would need to be tiny bit larger..
Awesome video again as always master...Can I ask does your double plastic ramp take the heavy 8s rigs?
Thanks
Awesome video dude, you sure make it hard to decide which Arrma to get next. Kids want the Notorious 8s, wife wants the Kraton 8s and I kinda like the Talion exb. Question, would those tires work for the Notorious as well?
😆Good luck!😜They will work for any 8s 1/5 yes!
Dude I got the tires like 2 months ago right when they hit online sold out in like a hour but I got a set and I love them tuning my diffs ATM so I be back in action this weekend not sure why my 980kv motor gets my wires so hot? Maybe need a fan under there anyways love your vids man thanks Eric and the m2c clan
Thanks bro!! Yeah they are great tires! Finally an option that doesn't weigh a ton and holds its glue beads!😆 If your wires are really hot you may be pulling too many amps.. what's your gearing? Thanks for watching man! Bash on!!😎👊👊
Excellent video buddy 🤠👍Great bash as always💯👏🚀.....in my opinion heavy proline wheels again 😡
Thanks bro!👊These wheels are much lighter even than stock tires. So glad to have another option for the Big Girls!😎👊💪🤘🤘
Nice bro. What's the overall size of these wheels? Rims n tires. Also wud u go with these or the proline badlands beadlock ones?
What kind of servo do you recommend for your Katon 8s? I need to buy one.
Any idea whats the weight of an individual tire?
About 715 grams as a stock tire is 740 grams.
@@RCDUDE81 Thats pretty good considering they are belted and about 25g lighter per tire. 100g shed off any rc is a pretty decent chunk. Thanks for that into!
I hope they make a 3.8 version of these tires in the future
Totally agree man!!
@@RCDUDE81 im running the beltes 3.8 HP trenchers, ive only got one run on them right now but they seem promising, badlands i couldnt keep traction with my truck, constantly powering and trying to donut as it rips whatever grass is there
Thanks for the bearing advice! No one ever went there. I’m looking for rubber boots for bearings Ava axles. Anyone ever fix that onto a krate 5? I’m also looking into making a mechanical brake for Krate
Hey, again nice video! but how do manage to jump so stright forward without doing a frontflip? My Senton does always move downwards with his nose, when i do jumps. Thx
It's in throttle control. Got to stay in the throttle to keep up the nose!
I'm running the 980 KV motor it's a what Rich duper dash same setup as his I think it's I know my spool is a 39 let me look and see what size is first I think it's 32 or 34 with a 39 spool
hey eric, what did you use to connect the hobbystar 840kv motor on the esc cause its not the same bullet size...thanks so much...
You need to change your motor bullets to match the ESC. I believe they are 5.5 bullets but I'd double check!
Wow.... Nice bro...
Nice videos man. I just finally got my 8s exb. What diff fluids are you running?
Awesome bro!👊I went over everything in the beginning but 2mill front, 20mill center and 500k rear.😎👊🤘🤘
@@RCDUDE81 awesome thank you
Love watching your videos. We’re building new ramps and was wondering if your 36” hi ramp has a launch angle of 45? Trying to find the right balance of height & distance. Thanks.
Thanks so much! Yeah my ramp is basically a 3ft quarter pipe with a 45 degree angle. It's a great ramp especially if hit with speed.😎👊
@@RCDUDE81 did u build it?
I did. Just found build plans for a 3ft quarter pipe.
Thanks. Found some plans. Do you know how heavy it is?
Not exactly but I can still lift and slide it into my pickup. I also have castor wheels to help move it around.
Got a pinion spur setup question. Do u know what 39 pinion 47 spur be like? Also 44 pinion 47 spur? Lookn for a crazy setup lol
😆What motor?
@@RCDUDE81 800kv HW
How are you diff cups holding up with that power on pavement?
Cups are fine so far. Stock ones are pretty tough!
What does the A-B buttons do on the Kraton remotes?
Hi!
Do you think that a pair of gens ace bashing 4s 5000mah 60c pack will be enough for a stock kraton 8s rtr? Or will they puff?
Honestly I'd go 7000mah 100c's if you want any runtime and stop from puffing.
rc dude what diff oil are you running in the front, center, and rear?
Currently 2 mill front, 20mill center and 500k rear.
Nice video so for those of us who have to pay for them would you say they are worth the price ? Which is 2 times the price of other options 🤔
They really are great tires! Better than the heavy Duratrax option. I also bought a set to have spares!😎👊👊
@@RCDUDE81 thank you for response
How do you hit the ramp so easily ?
Years of practice😂
Love proline tires, but refuse to use them, with the trash two piece wheels for the 1/10 MT's
Yeah the removable hex system sucks! These 1/5 tires are great though imo!
And roler skates. Same brings
Are these tires the same size as stock Kraton 8S EXB?
They are very close in diameter but belted so they don't balloon. They are a tad lighter than stock EXB Copperheads too.
I'm running same setup except I think I have the 980kv motor with 39 34 pinion. Does your motor get hot?
Not dangerously hot with 34/34. Never had thermal either.
@@RCDUDE81 I think im going to bump my spur down to 34t. I know between you and rich that setup has been put through the ringer.
It's a good combo! Especially with the 840kv. With a 980kv it will run a tad faster and possibly warmer but you'll just have to test it!
@@RCDUDE81 it's a fast setup for sure. My other kraton has a xlx2 and 1100kv motor I rum 39 39 in it. I still think the hobbystar and max5 is a bullet proof combo and half the price.
@@joshherrman3201 I have the same set up also k8 exb running 30 /39s and it's a beast. Do you still run 39/39 these days? Running 30/39 and I run balls out these Mashers and It still get toasty after 15 20 mins, even quicker in the summer. Chews up diff cups, snaps shafts and eats diffs every so often. Temps gets toasty here in VA in the summer. Any other good gearing to recommend. Had mine about a year havnt swapped pinions or spurs yet.
What gearing are you running
34/34 gearing
Brutal los saltos y luego dicen que el arrma kraton 8s no está para muchos saltos 🤣
Meanwhile I can’t get my pinion gear to stay bolted down
Out of all the 6s off road bashers out there which one is your favorite to drive and why??? Mojave, Typhon, Kraton, outcast, and Talion. 🤨🤷🤷
My all time favorite is the Talion simply bc of its agility and speed! The Kraton 6s is my favorite all around basher! Better for rougher terrain too.😎👊👊
I wanted to love these tires and I did, until I got them on wet grass. Worse $200 I've spent on tires
Look at bones speed brings. Abecks. Are up to 11 now there speed brings. I MTB .I skate . Blade and rc. ALL T SAME BATINGS.
Awesome! Let's do it with nitro rig!
