      Not the driveshaft, it was that carbon fiber brace. It was bending up, sticking out of the chassis.

    One thing I'd love to see at the end of your bashing vids is a damage assessment back at your shop. Kind of take it apart a bit and see what all is actually broken. Then we can start to see the weak points of each vehicle. Just a thought. Love the videos!!

    I own a Kronos v2, never broke or bend anything on it, so for normal use, it can hold up quite nicely, what Kevin is doing is extreme, and i don't believe that all of you are that hard on your cars, just keep that in mind.. Bless you Kevin for doing what you do, so we don't have to ;)

      I have a Shogun and I agree, if you aren't actually BASHING, Corally makes terrific cars. But if you need it to fly into walls and land literal 40 feet drops directly onto the nose/wheels/etc...get a Sledge.

    After watching the EXB, Sledge and Kronos videos... I'm going
    EXB - 1st
    Sledge 2nd
    Kronos 3rd (although it had harder hits than the sledge)
    You need to take the Sledge to that Skate Park to make it fair.

    • @krazicanuck9045
      @krazicanuck9045 2 года назад +1

      We will see what kind of hop ups come out for the sledge. The exb has loads now and that makes it number one in my books too. But let’s see if that changes in a year from now

    • @joeyfiend7864
      @joeyfiend7864 2 года назад +2

      Ay tomley! 😎 I definitely agree. The exb is superior with the 7075 chassis, shock towers, and chassis braces. Imagine if the sledge had those similar parts out the box 🤔

    • @rustler08
      @rustler08 2 года назад +8

      The Sledge completely stock is a vastly tougher car than the "7075" junk alloy that the EXB comes with. I don't know where Arrma sources their 7075, but it's such a mediocre alloy that it's only a wee bit better than most 6061 stuff.
      If you're buying an EXB, you better buy either a real 7075 chassis or that brace Kevin has. You're going to have a bent chassis and a bad time, otherwise. Also, buy yourself some spare shock shafts, bulkheads, and tie-rod ends. You're going to break all of those pretty often on the EXB.

    • @TomleyRC
      @TomleyRC 2 года назад +6

      EXB without aftermarket upgrades held up better than the Sledge, so I guess it will come down to cost at the end of the day

    • @eM4rio
      @eM4rio 2 года назад

      @@TomleyRCwhat held better? We all know the EXB problems. Lost dogbones, braking cups, play in diffs, cheap screws, loosing wheel nuts, braeking shock mounts and the most annoying one, breaking wing mount... that's just to much for me. Traxxas have overall a better quality than Arrma, even Arrmas stickers dont stick :D so I hope that Sledge will be better, to make Arrma just a kick in the butt for a push to make them EXB2 without all that quality/bad design things :D

    @wallacengineering8096 2 года назад +5

    You guys gotta remember Kev breaks literally everything - Maxx, X-Maxx, Kraton EXB, all of it. So its a tiny bit disappointing out of the box. Bummer, thought we had an alternative to the Kraton EXB for a minute there. To be honest, Kevs landings did make it a but unfair to the truck, especially smashing the edge of that ramp - oof thats extremely rough, but no matter. With the popularity of this truck growing, alot of us think that M2C Racing will develop a 4mm 7075-T6 chassis for it. With the chassis being the backbone it should reinforce the whole truck enough to take a massive beating without any other mods, so lets hope he comes through on that 👍🤜.

    I’m starting to think that if your going to keep jumping at the skate park you should at least try to keep it in the park, not jump over the whole park!😂😆 Jeez, you could hit a bird, or a plane or something!😂😜! Epic Kevin!

    You should try some Redcat products. They had some super cool crawlers for dirt cheap. Be cool to see how they are with you.

    Hey Kev, thanks for the videos! Always amazed to see how far some of the cars can be pushed (and some can't).
    I have a question for you: do you modify any of the shocks on the bashers you run, or just run them bone stock? I'm specifically interested in ones on the Kraton 6S's, since that's what I have here.
    Started doing some higher jumps lately (still learning aerial control to prevent lawndarts), and noticed that even a moderate send often results in full chassis-slap against the ground upon landing. Figured doing some shocks modifications might help there. What's your take?
    Thanks again!

    • @sonorite2665

      definitely a good idea to do some shock tuning if you're chassis slapping a lot. I would just put in thicker shock oil, maybe add preload depending on if you still want stock handling or not.

      @@sonorite2665 That's what I've been thinking. Thanks! I'll try some different thickness oils.
      What about the shocks tuning pistons that come with the Kraton, what would be the uses for them?

    • @KevinTalbotTV

      Usually leave it stock and let it slap. You can stiffen the shocks but then you can start killing arms, towers, shocks, bulkheads etc

    • @thunderstormrc
      @thunderstormrc 2 года назад

      If you do big jumps the chassi will slap against the ground no matter what. You can try to adjust the shocks but if you make them too stiff you will start breaking or bending stuff.

      @@KevinTalbotTV thanks for the reply! I'll try and play with different oils and the supplied pistons, but will definitely keep in mind not to overdo it.
      Funnily enough, chassis bendage is real! Mine's already slightly bowed up in the middle (which is weird, I kinda would expect it to bend downwards). Not much, but the "talbot test" definitely reveals it.
