Just an after run update 👍. Truck is extremely durable. Noticed a bent rear chassis ear, had to remove the the button head droop screw (probably had a rock landing). Also stripped the front plastic tower brace rod end (gorilla taped for now) and lost the plastic chassis tab on the rear plastic chassis brace (swapped on a HR alloy one). Ended up cracking the front left toe link, same side I side landed on. This truck takes a serious beating 👀. Unless you're doing huge ramp sends to flat ground, it doesn't need heaps of hop ups. Handles far better with this widened stance for my preference anyways 😍. Props to ARRMA for switching to M4 button head droop screws with spacers 😱 and revising their pillow balls with longer shaft machine threads for better grab. Didn't notice during my unboxing 🍻
👀 Absolute blast to watch you ripping around full throttle with that beast. Unbelievable that that thing can take out of the box and how well it handles 💪 arrma raised the bar again 👍
Thanks so much dear Kimberly 😍. I'm amazed how well the FT 1/7 has performed even basically bone stock. Such a super FUN platform!!!! Just eats up the terrain 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
What a sweet run Brother Rich!😍She looks more stable for sure with the extra width! Killer spot in the beginning for freestyle and ripping around! Awesome berm rips! She ate up the rough terrain nicely! Just love watching the Tactical team pound out some hard rips!😆Wicked bash at the mound spot and killer airs and frontie saves!😜This truck is a total hoot to drive! It's on my favs list too! Can't wait to get it back up and running after the upgrade treatment! Huge props to Basherqueen and M2C for stepping up fast with upgrades!💪Killer bash and vid once again bro!😎👊🤘🤘🚀🚀
Thanks so much Brother Eric 😜. She's definitely way more stable with the Kraton hubs/axels and +5mm universal hexs 😍. Feels about perfect with this setup 👌. Not sure why they didn't use the wider hubs with this Tactical Ripper 😱. Had a Blast tearing around the 4x4 area!!!! Unfortunately, the jumps got flattened near the big berm, but there was enough terrain to still have an awesome time 🚀🚀. Absolutely loving this platform Bro. Looking forward to getting her beefed up with the upgrades soon, but impressed with her capability and durability even bone stock 😱. Props to Basherqueen for the sweet options!!!!

Thanks so much Brother David 😜!!!! So stoked with how she handles just a bit wider 😍. Feels about perfect for high speed drifting and tackling choppy terrain with ease. Really appreciate it Brother. 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
Super gnarly bash spot. I know ya been there before but so awesome. That thing is a Tasmanian devil out there! I don’t think the fire team ever expected to do epic front flips like that. They’re currently adjusting their sights on their weapons for some crazy looks! Great after bash update proving arrma continues to step it up on all levels. I miss being out bashing with my homies, but this last year hasn’t been easy on all of us. Awesome video Rich! Cheers!
Thanks so very much Brother 🤗. I'm absolutely loving this new FT 1/7 😱. Such a joy to just rip around and she's proving to be ultra durable and capable. Wasn't sure how she'd handle bigger airs and flips when I first unboxed her, but she's pretty agile and truly hauls ass with more gear and the punch advanced 😍. Hope you can get out with your buddies soon. Definitely been a strange time since the pandemic. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Yeah I know what you mean brother I used to race ATCs until they outlaw them and switched over to quads broke my back in two places and have not been right sense anyway thanks for the reply my friend
I want to be like a Duperbasher!!!! LOL Once again here we are looking at what RC is all about! Your pro tips and tricks are more then helpful and really shed light on what can be possible with this Hobby... Thanks Brother.........
Wow you really sent this thing!! Your a really good driver too. Great mid air control, all around am just as impressed with the Arrma as I am with your driving skills. #Salute
Thanks Brother 🤗. It's a simple conversion. You can direct swap wider front and rear Kraton/Outcast hubs, stub axels, and hexes. If you want even wider (like seen here) use the M2C Racing +5mm universal hexes 😍 m2cracing.net/shop/shop.php#!/M2C-3500-17MM-5MM-HEX-UNIVERSAL-HEX-ADAPTER-FOR-8MM-AXLES/p/478044804/category=136127923
What can I say, brother? As always, a killer session 😜😎🤘🤘this really is a beast, mum it's already going really fast with the original electronics🚀🚀, really a fun session Rich, you did some spectacular numbers 👊, Wow with Backflip tyres even scarier haha yeah 🤘. Nice vid my friend 🥇, Good bash 🤝😉
Thanks so much Brother David 😜!!!! My DRCC roof sticker is scratched now, but it looks even better 😍. Absolutely LOVE this truck!!! Feels perfect being a tough wider and handles and jumps even better with the old Backflips 🥰🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
Big Air I am so jealous watching you rip it up.Its actually been cold in Georgia for the last couple of weeks.I took my Notorious out and broke a shock and froze my butt off.Winter pretty much ends after February and it just gets warmer from there.So hard not going out to bash with over 30 different RC trucks looking at me.Lol
Thanks Brother 🤗. Yeah it sucks when the cold takes over 😝. No question parts break easier and I honestly can't get motivated anymore once my fingers go numb. The older I've gotten, the less I want to freeze my ass off 😂. Hope things warm up for you soon and you can get out rippin. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Damn!!! Brother Rich that thing is rippin man I can't wait to get one. I'm loving the look of it I sold my Super Rock Rey and this is going to be a great replacement. Awesome rip session happy bashing my friend👍🤙😎🤪😜😝👊✌️
Thanks so much Brother Chris 😜!!!! I think you're gonna LOVE this rig 😱. Just needs a bigger pinion and punch turned up to 8 or 9 🚀🚀. Handles Killer and takes a serious beating. Ohhhh...I recommend moving the Lipo tray rearwards. Balance is much better especially for drifts and jumps. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Great job as usual Rich! Super fun to watch her fly! Any chance we could get the part numbers for the axel and hub swap? I have one pre-ordered from my LHS, I want to widen it up just a bit as well. Thanks!🙌👏✌
Thanks so much Mike 🤗. You're gonna love this Tactical Beast 😍. Here's the link to the +5mm universal hexes. I'll try and link you to the Kraton hubs and stub axels. 🍻😎💪👊👊m2cracing.net/notorious-v5-exb/593-m2c-3160-arrma-17mm-hub-extenders.html Part #s are AR310591, AR330404, AR310590, and AR330505.
Thanks so much Brother Avery 😜!!!! The +5mm universal hexs are perfect for the Fireteam 😍. Borrowed them off my Tekno BMW Road Killer build, but got a replacement set that just showed up 😱🥰🥰. So stoked about this platform my friend!!!! Looking forward to getting her dialed and upgraded soon 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
Super impressive rip Rich!!! The Fireteam looks much better with the Kraton hubs and the +5mm extensions. I am crossing my fingers that Arrma has a Kraton XL up their sleeve, because this drives really well 🤩 I will say that it seems to always land on its feet! I guess the body shape helps with that 👍 That first stop you were at was really cool, looked like it was off the beaten path 🤩 Bash on!
Thanks so much Brother Aaron 😜!!!! I'm sure ARRMA will continue the 1/7 off road platform 😍. Such a perfect size for ultimate control and handling with fast reflexes and incredible acceleration!!!! The cage design definitely helps her roll back on her wheels 😍. That first spot was pretty deep in a local OHV 4x4 area. It's got insane obstacles and mud pits that only raised custom crawlers and MT's could handle. We actually have more gnarly spots for that like the nearby Rubicon trail. Felt awesome to rail that massive berm with the FT. The extra width makes the truck feel perfect 😱🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
Nice Rich pretty much a Kraton XL now with Arrma fire team body and tires. 👊 I'm building mine this weekend. Great rip yeah I'm always using old parts to fix my cars. She fast with that 16T wow those are great temps she staying Kool 👍
Thanks so much Brother 😜. I'm still using used parts from years ago 😍. It's an awesome feeling putting them back in service, driving in the spirit of rigs past. I'm shocked how efficient the stock electronics are. Enjoy your Kraton XL build Brother 😱!!!!
@@richduperbash2966 thanks you rich I'm gonna name her after you I will send you the video link. Yup I have the spectrum electronics also motor has a fan of course. Yeah definitely feels good putting my old parts back in service when I need them. Gonna write on her Superbash edition. 👍👊🍻
Arrma does such amazing job. Every new release they I corporate something new like the body cage or the m4 screws. They definitely listen. I think that looks so sick being wider and it really fits it scale. I can only imagine how much fun it is to rip now. It's been nice to still be able to get the backflip Lps. I hope they bring back the 4s soon tho. Thank you for an absolutely awesome bash video man totally loving the front flips🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Thanks so much Nick 😜!!!! ARRMA Killed it with this new FT 😱. I love the styling and the design details are a testament to their commitment to keep improving 👊. The careful integration of the cage and frame make her a durable tank 👀. Just saw a ton of Backflip LPs at my shop yesterday 😍. I'm sure the 4s line will be back this year. Truly appreciate the kind words Brother!!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊
Awesome video rich. Your a nasty driver. I think I got over my dis like of the body and I’m on the list of wanting one. And also my M2c hybrid typhoon is almost ready! Waiting for shock oil and diff fluid. Thanks for your inspiration and tips.
Thanks so much Joseph 🤗. The body and overall look of the FT has totally grown on me 😍. She reminds me of something from Road Warrior. Just has that renegade vibe going flying by full throttle. Best of luck with your build Brother!!!! 😎💪👊👊
You have driving skills Rich!Question for you,you seem to have run that 16 tooth pinion all along,how are the stock electronics holding-up?I am awaiting my fireteam in about a week from now.i have a hobbywing max 6 combo (1650 kv) waiting for it on the bench but looking at you go in your videos i am wondering leaving it stock now lol!
Thanks Michel 🤗. You're gonna love the FT 1/7 😍. Stock electronics have been doing Killer 👍. Absolutely no issues. The HW 1650 4985 will have WAY more torque 💪. It might not clear the rear hand brake servo though🤔. Not certain, but may have to remove or reposition 90° which would involve drilling new servo mount holes. I'm honestly not even using mine. It works great, just not accustomed to using a rear brake. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 thanks for the quick answer,brake servo was going to leave anyway for me lol.Might just run her like that and keep the hobbywing for spare.Keep on bashing 👍🤘👊
@@richduperbash2966 yes mate going great cheers 🍻. Yeah I'm loving it still too.... Just too many toys to play with not enough time blah blah.... Actually been doing a little crawling also 😁.... Cheers brother 🤜🤛
@@PaulOff-RoadDownunder that's been my biggest issue too 😂. Free time has been greatly reduced it seems the past year plus. Glad you're still getting out and having fun my friend 🤗. Think it's something we all really need. Big stress reliever 😍
Thanks Brother 🤗. Here's a link to the fronts. You also need the rears. Part # for those ends with a 1 instead of a zero. www.amainhobbies.com/arrma-8x44.5mm-cvd-axle-2-ara310590/p409445?gclid=Cj0KCQiAxc6PBhCEARIsAH8Hff0nLjXNMScQrAt7LEJSBPkyxJxK9e43LfktyMRMGtweE5B4xBkHEakaAr3DEALw_wcB
Hi, bud great video as per usual💯, waiting to order the fireteam truck here in the uk, just wondering what diff oil u put in the diffs would be great if you could let me know Take care and stay safe gaz 👍
I really want this exact setup very badly after watching this video. The Fireteam just got even better with that extra wide stance! Can you put a 1650 motor in it next??
The wider stance works Killer on the Fireteam 😍. I have a 1650 HW sitting on the bench 👀. Was likely gonna try that or my Hobbystar 4092 1730kv like I run in my Orange Darling XL. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Rich DB is Killing it Again 🤪👍 where do you find those Bash spots??? That huge circle Burm with hills around it!! Such a Great spot to open Her up!! I dig the extra stance, even more stable!! Those flails to the stalled front flips!! Masterful, maybe a little luck but who cares when you LAND it!! Those major airs PROVED how durable this rig is. Arrma killing it as Always!! Great Run, Stay safe Bro and bash on from Colorado!!!
Thanks so much Ervin 😜. I'm always looking for new terrain in my area 👀. This spot is a local OHV, Prairie City. Same park that holds the Hangtown AMA motocross national races 👍. Unfortunately, the race track is off limits. She's super stable now with the extra inch of width 😍. This sucker front flips easily thanks to the top weight of the cage. ARRMA did a fantastic job with the performance potential and durability of this rugged design!!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊
I love your videos, they are so action packed. I don't know any rc youtuber who makes such good and blatant videos with rc cars. this spurs me on to expand my drive skills. I wish there were such cool places to bash here in Zurich(Swiss). Do you have a Drone?? I think that would look awesome if you took pictures from a bird's perspective. I don't think the drone can follow the car, because I think it's too small for the tracking mode. but those are certainly good shots. Thank you for all your videos, greetings from Switzerland🇨🇭🇨🇭👍👍👍✌
Thanks so very much Brother 🤗. I'm hoping to include some cool drone shots soon. Have a couple buddies that have mentioned doing some recording 👀. My editing software is pretty basic, but I can use 1080p footage without a problem. Some aerial close ups with look awesome!!!! Really appreciate it my friend. 🍻😎💪👊👊
This rig looks better and better, not everyone likes the fire team dudes but I think they're awesome! im still building my Tekno mt410 but this one might be next.
I totally dig the little dudes 😍. They just add to the scale fun for me 👍. Hopefully more guys will change their perception. It'd be a shame to discount a Killer truck based on first impressions 😝. This has easily become my favorite RTR EVER. She's a terrain animal and the stock electronics move her quite well 👀😎💪👊👊
Thanks so much Brother 😜. I'm totally loving this new Tactical Ripper 😍. Not sure what M2C will come up with for upgrade options. Many of their existing Mojave parts are a direct fit. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Awesome rips brother!Dang this tank rips!Much more satisfying to watch in full blast and awesome bone stock durability.Sucks to be the bad guys chased by this fast elites.Too bad ARRMA didn't include mini guns and rockets hahaha
Thanks so much Christopher 😜. This sucker definitely Rips hard even bone stock 😱. I wouldn't want to be chased by the Fireteam crew 😂. They might not have rockets, but they definitely have some scale guns packing heat. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Thanks so very much dear Brother Thomas 😍. I'm so impressed with the FT 1/7 👀. Easily the funnest RTR I've ever bashed. People can say what they want about the soldiers 😂 but the truck is amazing!!!! 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
Hey rich, have you run the vitavon bulkheads yet? I've been looking into them and everyone says to get that instead of hr. Would love your opinion though haha
I bought 8s Vitavon bulkheads awhile ago, but haven't ran them yet. My Hot Racing 6s ones have done excellent for years. I run the HR case with stock diff covers. Just tried the Basherqueen 7075 6s bulkhead and it did awesome too 😍
Thanks so much Tony 🤗. My 2nd run was a good durability test too 👍. The car is far more capable with a 16T and punch 9. It's got the same stance and make up as my custom Orange Darling XL 😍. Just not as fast or nimble with the stock system and 2lb body 😂. I'm loving this little Ripper and totally dig the styling. She's way more stable and FUN with this wider stance. 🍻😎💪👊👊
The tires likely get better forward traction in the reverse position, but I had reversed sides on accident while adjusting my pillow ball retainer nuts 😂. As much as I like the Tactical tires, the Backflips afford better, more forgiving handling with improved air control and driftability. 🍻😎💪👊👊
First love the channel gives a ton of food for thought on set ups. Was that Prairie City in the first section? My son is stepping up to 1/5, 1/7 scale cars and looking for a more open area to run. If you don't give out locations I'm good with that. It looks like you could take a lot of different types of rigs out there. We use to go Elk Grove park bike park, then to many people started to show up with RC's. And its to cramped for anything over 1/8 scale.
Thanks so much Peter 🤗. Yes indeed, this is the far end of the 4x4 area. Elk Grove use to incredible until they filled in all the rythm and pump sections. Definitely super cramped compared to 2-4 years ago. Always looking for new areas to rip around. That's awesome your son is looking at large scale. This 1/7 is extremely capable. Actually very addicting. 😍🍻😎💪👊👊
Thanks Brother 👊. The truck handles better with the Backflips 👌. Better air control and drifting. Chassis is hanging tough. Will need upgrading for humongous ramp hits to flat ground, otherwise it's fine. 😎💪👊👊
SMASH THAT DUPER!!! Hey man that thing is really something, now I truly know why their pricing is as such for this one in particular. I mean it's near a grand!!! I'm sure the quality is good coz you beat the red headed stepchild out of that beast!!!! ✌️ PeAcE
Ohhhhh no doubt Brother 😍. The stock tires are faster wide out, but the Backflips are more up to task for drifting, jumping, and less high siding in mixed terrain 👌. It's near impossible to beat a motocross inspired tread for all around bashing 🍻😎💪👊👊
Hey Paul 🤗. Just now finding your comment. No I didn't have any camber issues 🤔. I probably adjusted my toe, but can't recall. I often run slightly toe out up front. I'm also ok with some negative camber for better cornering. I might've added a small washer to the upper A arms under the pillow balls. 😎💪👊👊
Did you have the front tires on it backwards at first for a reason or just didn't notice? Could you put those tires next to a set of the backflip MT's for comparison in a video? Would like to see them without venturing out to a store. Great video!
Thanks Bryan 🤗. Yeah I just put the fronts on opposite sides mistakenly when adjusting my pillow ball retainers. I showed both tires side by side in my unboxing video a couple weeks back 👍. They're the same basic height and exact same weight. The Backflips have a pinch wider tread patch. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Thanks so much Brother 😜. Yes indeed on the variation flips. Been doing them for years, mostly with my stunt trucks like my Outcast 8s and the smaller ones. The Fireteam is a little trickier with stock wheels, but it could be done. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 i was in the 101st Airborne Division with the 2/502inf for 6 of my 8yrs in the Army (98-06). I remember in 99 we got a whole bunch of the 2 seat and 4 seat small 4x4 gators to the experiment with to see if they would be of any help while we trained in the woods. But being in a light infantry Air Assault unit them little gators were more troublesome than anything. They constantly broke down and we quickly stopped using then in the field. Not complaining or comparing the gators we experimented with to the Strike vehicle just sharing an experience. Hell i was a member of the Strike Brigade lol. Strike Force Falcons Hooah 2/502 inf bn Airborne Air Assault (Commo Dawgs)
Looks like there's some high end dirt bash facilities out in cali. Nothing like that in good ol Illinois. Just cement skate parks with cameras and signs that say. NO RC CARS. Anyways so you've got some cool places to bash. Btw, are the places you bash owned by the park district or the city? Thx. .
Definitely have some cool spots around here. That said, most BMX tracks and jump parks here don't allow RC 😝. My friends and I search high and low to find places where we won't get hassled by security or facility operators. Some places we visit are city or county property. In general, 4 wheeling, motocross, and other dirt sports are popular in CA. Most cops, rangers, and other authority understand and respect the fun factor of what we're doing in the hobby. 🍻
Thanks Armando 🤗. Yeah she rips with a 15-16T pinion on punch 9. I'm digging the Tactical tires. They're fast as heck with great traction. Still like the Backflips better 😍. They have better air control and are more forgiving with the rounder sidewall. 😎💪👊👊
The 1st spot was back in the 4x4 area of Prairie City OHV. 2nd spot was Richards Blvd and 7st near the light rail station. It's probably mudded at right now because it's a water catchment area. 😎💪👊👊
How the heck do you keep your diffs from stripping when you hit the brakes in the air I have problems with mine more then I should I watched all Your diff vids and follow up them to the letter including the tekno shims
Hitting the brakes mid-air doesn't bother the diffs. Landing on throttle and doing standing backflips or self-righting puts serious strain on the gears. In general, keeping momentum and even wheelspin on landings keeps the gears happy. I try not to run heavy wheels either. You might have a cracked or stripped diff case if you keep stripping gears 🤔. That allows the gears to lose proper mesh under load. I generally start with a snug mesh between the ring and pinion (2-3 bearing shims) on the ring gear side bearing and let my gears settle in. Using a high quality marine grease is critical. I run NanoProMT is my top pick. 🤗
I thought the fireteam came with the Kraton hubs. I bought the notorious 6S and converted to more than the Fireteam with parts I had. It was on sale for $480.
The Fireteam came with Talion/Typhon hubs. Not really sure why. Adding Kraton hubs, hexs, and stub axels added a good amount more wheel clearance and width. 🍻
Yes they are, but the tire hooks up better in reverse direction and speed isn't affected. I honestly prefer the Backflips these days. Better overall control and no edge to increase tip overs. 🍻
Thanks so much Timmy 🤗. You can push this sucker pretty hard 👍. This body could fit the Mojave with the right mounts and side guards, but you'd want wider Kraton arms for proper wheel clearance. 😎💪👊👊
Sweet bashing as always man. Dose this new rig seem like a cross between the Mojave and a 6s kraton ? We still are waiting here in Australia for stockpile to arrive. A few guys I know do the krajave mix match and it really reminds me of that kind of set up. Those long power slides around that bend were awesome 👍🏼😜
Thanks so much Lucas 🤗. Yes indeed, the FT 1/7 is based on a Kraton XL concept utilizing the longer Mojave wheelbase with wider Kraton/Outcast arms and shafts 😍. It's the perfect stance for wide open bashing 👌. Had a Blast drifting her around that huge berm 😱🍻😎💪👊👊
I bought the ramps years ago from Discountramps.com. Unfortunately, they were effectively discontinued over 2 years ago 😝. I'm actually on the hunt for a replacement set, just haven't found anything comparable yet online. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Haha 😂. You caught me 😱. I switched them around later 👀. They probably shoveling the dirt better on backwards though. Gotta say the Backflips are better than stock on her for all around compliance and handling 😍 🍻😎💪👊👊
It's probably near 50mph out of the box. I almost always go straight to a 16T pinion because I know the electronics have more potential and still run safe temps. The stock 12T just doesn't do it for me. 😎💪👊👊
It's a Killer platform Johnny 🤗. Seriously the funnest and most durable RTR I've ever 😍. The little dudes are just along for the ride 😂. Honestly adds to the scale fun when you're out bashing. Everyone I've run across bashing (young and old) bashers and general public, has commented how cool this sucker is. It looks like a Mad Max destroyer hauling ass out there 😱😂😎💪👊👊
These are the 6s Backflips. The 4s Backflip LP's have a smaller sidewall and tire diameter. They rip too. I ran them on my Orange Darling XL for several runs and have used them on my Talion for about 2 years off and on. 🍻😎💪👊👊
M2C switched to doing periodic sales instead of a full-time coupon code. I think this was due to materials cost rising plus a massive investment in new CNC machines to keep up with demand and turnaround in a timely manner. Not sure when they'll post the next sale. 😎💪👊👊
Every RC can be broken regardless of brand Alex 🤗. I run standard ARRMA diffs with Mugen Seiki E0209 planetary shims and 2-3 Tekno #1222 shims on the front and rear crown gear side bearings 👍. Rarely do I have a diff problem. Actually prefer that over the EXB LSD diffs. 😎💪👊👊
@@3000gtalex sorry I took your comment wrong 🤣. It's true....they are asking for it 😱🚀🚀. My buddies and I all got Crazy yesterday with our Kratons 😂. Ian set up his Mega ramp and it was irresistible 😍
It just cosmetics to me personally. The cage works Killer integrated with the bumpers and frame 💪. Definitely serves the function side of things and lets the car roll back onto it's wheels most times 😎💪👊👊
Did you consider it's possible to get more bite with the tires swapped.. The issue might be your unwillingness to experiment and think out of the box 🍻
Just an after run update 👍. Truck is extremely durable. Noticed a bent rear chassis ear, had to remove the the button head droop screw (probably had a rock landing). Also stripped the front plastic tower brace rod end (gorilla taped for now) and lost the plastic chassis tab on the rear plastic chassis brace (swapped on a HR alloy one). Ended up cracking the front left toe link, same side I side landed on. This truck takes a serious beating 👀. Unless you're doing huge ramp sends to flat ground, it doesn't need heaps of hop ups. Handles far better with this widened stance for my preference anyways 😍. Props to ARRMA for switching to M4 button head droop screws with spacers 😱 and revising their pillow balls with longer shaft machine threads for better grab. Didn't notice during my unboxing 🍻

I want to be like a Duperbasher!!!! LOL Once again here we are looking at what RC is all about! Your pro tips and tricks are more then helpful and really shed light on what can be possible with this Hobby... Thanks Brother.........
Wow you really sent this thing!! Your a really good driver too. Great mid air control, all around am just as impressed with the Arrma as I am with your driving skills. #Salute
Thanks so much Brother 🤗😎💪👊👊
just got one I was a littel scared of jumping it on stock, but dayum , you went hard in the paint
. fear removed
Congrats Robert 🤗. Great choice my friend. The Fireteam is super capable and durable overall. Easily one of my favorite rigs 😍
Awesome run as always. That thing really looks like a beast. Because of you and a couple others I tried arrma. Looks like I will be getting a third👍

Thanks Chris 😜. She was loving that huge berm 🍻😎💪👊👊
This setup looks awesome! Can you give a list of the parts needed to do wide conversion? Did you widen the rear as well? Thanks and great content!
Thanks Brother 🤗. It's a simple conversion. You can direct swap wider front and rear Kraton/Outcast hubs, stub axels, and hexes. If you want even wider (like seen here) use the M2C Racing +5mm universal hexes 😍 m2cracing.net/shop/shop.php#!/M2C-3500-17MM-5MM-HEX-UNIVERSAL-HEX-ADAPTER-FOR-8MM-AXLES/p/478044804/category=136127923
@@richduperbash2966 Thanks for the info!!!
Btw, are the stub axles and hubs from the Kraton 6s or 8s? Does it matter? Thanks.
@@Clayspeed from the 6s. The 8s rigs are much bigger. By the way, Jenny's RC and eBay often have these bits cheaper sold together, just depends.
What can I say, brother? As always, a killer session 😜😎🤘🤘this really is a beast, mum it's already going really fast with the original electronics🚀🚀, really a fun session Rich, you did some spectacular numbers 👊, Wow with Backflip tyres even scarier haha yeah 🤘.
Nice vid my friend 🥇, Good bash 🤝😉
Thanks so much Brother David 😜!!!! My DRCC roof sticker is scratched now, but it looks even better 😍. Absolutely LOVE this truck!!! Feels perfect being a tough wider and handles and jumps even better with the old Backflips 🥰🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
Big Air I am so jealous watching you rip it up.Its actually been cold in Georgia for the last couple of weeks.I took my Notorious out and broke a shock and froze my butt off.Winter pretty much ends after February and it just gets warmer from there.So hard not going out to bash with over 30 different RC trucks looking at me.Lol
Thanks Brother 🤗. Yeah it sucks when the cold takes over 😝. No question parts break easier and I honestly can't get motivated anymore once my fingers go numb. The older I've gotten, the less I want to freeze my ass off 😂. Hope things warm up for you soon and you can get out rippin. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Damn!!! Brother Rich that thing is rippin man I can't wait to get one. I'm loving the look of it I sold my Super Rock Rey and this is going to be a great replacement. Awesome rip session happy bashing my friend👍🤙😎🤪😜😝👊✌️
Thanks so much Brother Chris 😜!!!! I think you're gonna LOVE this rig 😱. Just needs a bigger pinion and punch turned up to 8 or 9 🚀🚀. Handles Killer and takes a serious beating. Ohhhh...I recommend moving the Lipo tray rearwards. Balance is much better especially for drifts and jumps.
🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Great job as usual Rich! Super fun to watch her fly! Any chance we could get the part numbers for the axel and hub swap? I have one pre-ordered from my LHS, I want to widen it up just a bit as well. Thanks!🙌👏✌

Nice! Looks like the cage and figures are holding up well!
Thanks Brother 👊. The cage is doing great so far 👍. The panels just need soft nylon washers for better grab in a few areas.
🍻😎💪👊👊
Great bash! Arrma really knocked it outta the park with this one! some killer air control out there too! thanks for punishing the parts!!
Thanks so much Brother Avery 😜!!!! The +5mm universal hexs are perfect for the Fireteam 😍. Borrowed them off my Tekno BMW Road Killer build, but got a replacement set that just showed up 😱🥰🥰. So stoked about this platform my friend!!!! Looking forward to getting her dialed and upgraded soon 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
Super impressive rip Rich!!! The Fireteam looks much better with the Kraton hubs and the +5mm extensions. I am crossing my fingers that Arrma has a Kraton XL up their sleeve, because this drives really well 🤩 I will say that it seems to always land on its feet! I guess the body shape helps with that 👍 That first stop you were at was really cool, looked like it was off the beaten path 🤩 Bash on!
Thanks so much Brother Aaron 😜!!!! I'm sure ARRMA will continue the 1/7 off road platform 😍. Such a perfect size for ultimate control and handling with fast reflexes and incredible acceleration!!!! The cage design definitely helps her roll back on her wheels 😍. That first spot was pretty deep in a local OHV 4x4 area. It's got insane obstacles and mud pits that only raised custom crawlers and MT's could handle. We actually have more gnarly spots for that like the nearby Rubicon trail. Felt awesome to rail that massive berm with the FT. The extra width makes the truck feel perfect 😱🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
Thats awesome brother. Cool you got a new favorite 😎
Thanks so much Brother 🤗. Just an insanely fun all-around Ripper 😍
Nice Rich pretty much a Kraton XL now with Arrma fire team body and tires. 👊 I'm building mine this weekend. Great rip yeah I'm always using old parts to fix my cars. She fast with that 16T wow those are great temps she staying Kool 👍

Arrma does such amazing job. Every new release they I corporate something new like the body cage or the m4 screws. They definitely listen. I think that looks so sick being wider and it really fits it scale. I can only imagine how much fun it is to rip now. It's been nice to still be able to get the backflip Lps. I hope they bring back the 4s soon tho. Thank you for an absolutely awesome bash video man totally loving the front flips🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Thanks so much Nick 😜!!!! ARRMA Killed it with this new FT 😱. I love the styling and the design details are a testament to their commitment to keep improving 👊. The careful integration of the cage and frame make her a durable tank 👀. Just saw a ton of Backflip LPs at my shop yesterday 😍. I'm sure the 4s line will be back this year. Truly appreciate the kind words Brother!!!!
🍻😎💪👊👊
That thing looks badass love it I'm going to have to get one
Awesome video rich. Your a nasty driver. I think I got over my dis like of the body and I’m on the list of wanting one. And also my M2c hybrid typhoon is almost ready! Waiting for shock oil and diff fluid. Thanks for your inspiration and tips.
Thanks so much Joseph 🤗. The body and overall look of the FT has totally grown on me 😍. She reminds me of something from Road Warrior. Just has that renegade vibe going flying by full throttle. Best of luck with your build Brother!!!! 😎💪👊👊
You have driving skills Rich!Question for you,you seem to have run that 16 tooth pinion all along,how are the stock electronics holding-up?I am awaiting my fireteam in about a week from now.i have a hobbywing max 6 combo (1650 kv) waiting for it on the bench but looking at you go in your videos i am wondering leaving it stock now lol!
Thanks Michel 🤗. You're gonna love the FT 1/7 😍. Stock electronics have been doing Killer 👍. Absolutely no issues. The HW 1650 4985 will have WAY more torque 💪. It might not clear the rear hand brake servo though🤔. Not certain, but may have to remove or reposition 90° which would involve drilling new servo mount holes. I'm honestly not even using mine. It works great, just not accustomed to using a rear brake.
😎💪👊👊

Take care and stay safe gaz 👍
I really want this exact setup very badly after watching this video. The Fireteam just got even better with that extra wide stance! Can you put a 1650 motor in it next??
The wider stance works Killer on the Fireteam 😍. I have a 1650 HW sitting on the bench 👀. Was likely gonna try that or my Hobbystar 4092 1730kv like I run in my Orange Darling XL. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Rich DB is Killing it Again 🤪👍 where do you find those Bash spots??? That huge circle Burm with hills around it!! Such a Great spot to open Her up!! I dig the extra stance, even more stable!! Those flails to the stalled front flips!! Masterful, maybe a little luck but who cares when you LAND it!! Those major airs PROVED how durable this rig is. Arrma killing it as Always!! Great Run, Stay safe Bro and bash on from Colorado!!!
Thanks so much Ervin 😜. I'm always looking for new terrain in my area 👀. This spot is a local OHV, Prairie City. Same park that holds the Hangtown AMA motocross national races 👍. Unfortunately, the race track is off limits. She's super stable now with the extra inch of width 😍. This sucker front flips easily thanks to the top weight of the cage. ARRMA did a fantastic job with the performance potential and durability of this rugged design!!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊
Amazing bashing spots, holy crap!
Really liking the stability of this rig!! Killer run🤪
Thanks Brother 🤗. She feels even better with a little wider stance. 😎💪👊👊
I love your videos, they are so action packed. I don't know any rc youtuber who makes such good and blatant videos with rc cars. this spurs me on to expand my drive skills. I wish there were such cool places to bash here in Zurich(Swiss). Do you have a Drone?? I think that would look awesome if you took pictures from a bird's perspective. I don't think the drone can follow the car, because I think it's too small for the tracking mode. but those are certainly good shots. Thank you for all your videos, greetings from Switzerland🇨🇭🇨🇭👍👍👍✌
Thanks so very much Brother 🤗. I'm hoping to include some cool drone shots soon. Have a couple buddies that have mentioned doing some recording 👀. My editing software is pretty basic, but I can use 1080p footage without a problem. Some aerial close ups with look awesome!!!! Really appreciate it my friend. 🍻😎💪👊👊
awesome rc and bashing
This rig looks better and better, not everyone likes the fire team dudes but I think they're awesome! im still building my Tekno mt410 but this one might be next.
I totally dig the little dudes 😍. They just add to the scale fun for me 👍. Hopefully more guys will change their perception. It'd be a shame to discount a Killer truck based on first impressions 😝. This has easily become my favorite RTR EVER. She's a terrain animal and the stock electronics move her quite well 👀😎💪👊👊
Good times awesome video thumbs 👍
Thanks Dalton 🤗. Much appreciated Brother 🍻😎💪👊👊
Looking good out there brother Rich 🤘🏻😎 love this new Fireteam rig. Wonder if they are going to have hinge pins block support for this one soon ?? 👀👀
Thanks so much Brother 😜. I'm totally loving this new Tactical Ripper 😍. Not sure what M2C will come up with for upgrade options. Many of their existing Mojave parts are a direct fit. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Awesome rips brother!Dang this tank rips!Much more satisfying to watch in full blast and awesome bone stock durability.Sucks to be the bad guys chased by this fast elites.Too bad ARRMA didn't include mini guns and rockets hahaha

Hey rich, have you run the vitavon bulkheads yet? I've been looking into them and everyone says to get that instead of hr. Would love your opinion though haha
I bought 8s Vitavon bulkheads awhile ago, but haven't ran them yet. My Hot Racing 6s ones have done excellent for years. I run the HR case with stock diff covers. Just tried the Basherqueen 7075 6s bulkhead and it did awesome too 😍
@@richduperbash2966 awesome! Thanks man.
Insanity level is very high in this! I wouldn't have expected this type of running from this thing, but you are killing it.
Thanks so much Tony 🤗. My 2nd run was a good durability test too 👍. The car is far more capable with a 16T and punch 9. It's got the same stance and make up as my custom Orange Darling XL 😍. Just not as fast or nimble with the stock system and 2lb body 😂. I'm loving this little Ripper and totally dig the styling. She's way more stable and FUN with this wider stance. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Awesome! Do you find having your tyre rotation different from front to rear helps in anyway?
The tires likely get better forward traction in the reverse position, but I had reversed sides on accident while adjusting my pillow ball retainer nuts 😂. As much as I like the Tactical tires, the Backflips afford better, more forgiving handling with improved air control and driftability. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Another stellar video!
Thanks Brother 🍻😎💪👊👊
First love the channel gives a ton of food for thought on set ups. Was that Prairie City in the first section? My son is stepping up to 1/5, 1/7 scale cars and looking for a more open area to run. If you don't give out locations I'm good with that. It looks like you could take a lot of different types of rigs out there. We use to go Elk Grove park bike park, then to many people started to show up with RC's. And its to cramped for anything over 1/8 scale.
Thanks so much Peter 🤗. Yes indeed, this is the far end of the 4x4 area. Elk Grove use to incredible until they filled in all the rythm and pump sections. Definitely super cramped compared to 2-4 years ago. Always looking for new areas to rip around. That's awesome your son is looking at large scale. This 1/7 is extremely capable. Actually very addicting. 😍🍻😎💪👊👊
Awsome brother! Loving the backflips👍 how's the stock chassis held up?
Thanks Brother 👊. The truck handles better with the Backflips 👌. Better air control and drifting. Chassis is hanging tough. Will need upgrading for humongous ramp hits to flat ground, otherwise it's fine. 😎💪👊👊
SMASH THAT DUPER!!!
Hey man that thing is really something, now I truly know why their pricing is as such for this one in particular. I mean it's near a grand!!! I'm sure the quality is good coz you beat the red headed stepchild out of that beast!!!! ✌️ PeAcE
You're a mad man!
I knew you were putting backflips on that thing
Ohhhhh no doubt Brother 😍. The stock tires are faster wide out, but the Backflips are more up to task for drifting, jumping, and less high siding in mixed terrain 👌. It's near impossible to beat a motocross inspired tread for all around bashing 🍻😎💪👊👊
This rig is what the RYFT woulda coulda shouda been!
Amazball !!!!!😍😍
Super Dope!! You and @RC DUDE81 should do a collab!!
What was the parts you put on to widen the stance? Besides the +5 hex are they all arrma parts?
pure RC
Do you have to use the Kraton stub axles in order for the Kraton hubs to work? I have some spare Kraton hubs laying around.
Yes you have to pair the wider hubs with the longer Kraton stub axels 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 thanks I definitely have to do this.
Hi mate just done the same kraton hubs m2c hexs did you have issues with camber after doing this ??
Hey Paul 🤗. Just now finding your comment. No I didn't have any camber issues 🤔. I probably adjusted my toe, but can't recall. I often run slightly toe out up front. I'm also ok with some negative camber for better cornering. I might've added a small washer to the upper A arms under the pillow balls.
😎💪👊👊
That thing rips.
Yeah it's super impressive even with 1/8 size electronics 😱. Runs cool too. This rig is truly a Blast to bash🍻😎💪👊👊
Did you have the front tires on it backwards at first for a reason or just didn't notice? Could you put those tires next to a set of the backflip MT's for comparison in a video? Would like to see them without venturing out to a store.
Great video!
Thanks Bryan 🤗. Yeah I just put the fronts on opposite sides mistakenly when adjusting my pillow ball retainers. I showed both tires side by side in my unboxing video a couple weeks back 👍. They're the same basic height and exact same weight. The Backflips have a pinch wider tread patch. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 cool. I'll check that out again. I must have missed that part. Pretty sure I watched it.
The car may look 💩 but your vids are always 🔥
😆
Hey awesome bash bro. Hey you get crazy air when your jumping your rigs, have you ever tried a front flip transition to back flip or visa versa?
Thanks so much Brother 😜. Yes indeed on the variation flips. Been doing them for years, mostly with my stunt trucks like my Outcast 8s and the smaller ones. The Fireteam is a little trickier with stock wheels, but it could be done. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 i was in the 101st Airborne Division with the 2/502inf for 6 of my 8yrs in the Army (98-06). I remember in 99 we got a whole bunch of the 2 seat and 4 seat small 4x4 gators to the experiment with to see if they would be of any help while we trained in the woods. But being in a light infantry Air Assault unit them little gators were more troublesome than anything. They constantly broke down and we quickly stopped using then in the field. Not complaining or comparing the gators we experimented with to the Strike vehicle just sharing an experience. Hell i was a member of the Strike Brigade lol. Strike Force Falcons Hooah 2/502 inf bn Airborne Air Assault (Commo Dawgs)
I don't know why i was calling the Fireteam truck the Strike truck.....was having alill flashback i guess. Lol. My bad.
Looks like there's some high end dirt bash facilities out in cali. Nothing like that in good ol Illinois. Just cement skate parks with cameras and signs that say. NO RC CARS.
Anyways so you've got some cool places to bash. Btw, are the places you bash owned by the park district or the city? Thx.
.
Definitely have some cool spots around here. That said, most BMX tracks and jump parks here don't allow RC 😝. My friends and I search high and low to find places where we won't get hassled by security or facility operators. Some places we visit are city or county property. In general, 4 wheeling, motocross, and other dirt sports are popular in CA. Most cops, rangers, and other authority understand and respect the fun factor of what we're doing in the hobby. 🍻
Hey Rich what would you say to Fireteam vs Talion exb for a speed basher?
Both are fantastic at speed, but the Talion is lighter and faster 🤗
@@richduperbash2966 thank you
Hi buddy it's looking not bad straight out of the box. But how do those tyres go compared to the back flips ??. Ps great video again 👍👍👍
Thanks Armando 🤗. Yeah she rips with a 15-16T pinion on punch 9. I'm digging the Tactical tires. They're fast as heck with great traction. Still like the Backflips better 😍. They have better air control and are more forgiving with the rounder sidewall.
😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 sweet thanks mate. You and the family take care 😇👍
wow🤩this is a nice spot😱😱😱
Hey Rich I’m in the Sacramento area as well where is a good Bashing spot at also what location is this thank you
The 1st spot was back in the 4x4 area of Prairie City OHV. 2nd spot was Richards Blvd and 7st near the light rail station. It's probably mudded at right now because it's a water catchment area. 😎💪👊👊
How the heck do you keep your diffs from stripping when you hit the brakes in the air I have problems with mine more then I should I watched all
Your diff vids and follow up them to the letter including the tekno shims
Hitting the brakes mid-air doesn't bother the diffs. Landing on throttle and doing standing backflips or self-righting puts serious strain on the gears. In general, keeping momentum and even wheelspin on landings keeps the gears happy. I try not to run heavy wheels either. You might have a cracked or stripped diff case if you keep stripping gears 🤔. That allows the gears to lose proper mesh under load. I generally start with a snug mesh between the ring and pinion (2-3 bearing shims) on the ring gear side bearing and let my gears settle in. Using a high quality marine grease is critical. I run NanoProMT is my top pick. 🤗
👍Nice work you run tires belted or not?
Thanks Brother 👊. These tires aren't belted. I do sometimes run belted on my other bashers. 😎💪👊👊
Awesome 👌
I thought the fireteam came with the Kraton hubs. I bought the notorious 6S and converted to more than the Fireteam with parts I had. It was on sale for $480.
The Fireteam came with Talion/Typhon hubs. Not really sure why. Adding Kraton hubs, hexs, and stub axels added a good amount more wheel clearance and width. 🍻
Are the tires on the front flipped? The tread looks like it should go the other way
Yes they are, but the tire hooks up better in reverse direction and speed isn't affected. I honestly prefer the Backflips these days. Better overall control and no edge to increase tip overs. 🍻
@@richduperbash2966 I'll have to try that out. Thanks!
Would like to know where you are bashing at. I know Richard's Blvd, Del past rd, and folsom lake.
I was deep in the 4x4 area of Prairie City OHV. It's off White Rock road. 🍻
every time i watch your videos i realize im not pushing my cars hard enough lol great bash would that body fit a mojave
Thanks so much Timmy 🤗. You can push this sucker pretty hard 👍. This body could fit the Mojave with the right mounts and side guards, but you'd want wider Kraton arms for proper wheel clearance. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 maybe its just time to make room for another toy lol 👍
Sweet bashing as always man. Dose this new rig seem like a cross between the Mojave and a 6s kraton ? We still are waiting here in Australia for stockpile to arrive. A few guys I know do the krajave mix match and it really reminds me of that kind of set up. Those long power slides around that bend were awesome 👍🏼😜
Thanks so much Lucas 🤗. Yes indeed, the FT 1/7 is based on a Kraton XL concept utilizing the longer Mojave wheelbase with wider Kraton/Outcast arms and shafts 😍. It's the perfect stance for wide open bashing 👌. Had a Blast drifting her around that huge berm 😱🍻😎💪👊👊
What are those ramps you use? Need some!
I bought the ramps years ago from Discountramps.com. Unfortunately, they were effectively discontinued over 2 years ago 😝. I'm actually on the hunt for a replacement set, just haven't found anything comparable yet online. 🍻😎💪👊👊
backward tyres hurting my eyes lol!!! nice vid tho man ;)
Haha 😂. You caught me 😱. I switched them around later 👀. They probably shoveling the dirt better on backwards though. Gotta say the Backflips are better than stock on her for all around compliance and handling 😍
🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 was awesome video man had her ripping like always ;)
I can't believe how quick it is. Is that 55iah out the box?
It's probably near 50mph out of the box. I almost always go straight to a 16T pinion because I know the electronics have more potential and still run safe temps. The stock 12T just doesn't do it for me. 😎💪👊👊
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

6:52 bruhhh!!
Looks like a great platform,except the action men with guns.I put my action men away 35 year back.✌️
It's a Killer platform Johnny 🤗. Seriously the funnest and most durable RTR I've ever 😍. The little dudes are just along for the ride 😂. Honestly adds to the scale fun when you're out bashing. Everyone I've run across bashing (young and old) bashers and general public, has commented how cool this sucker is. It looks like a Mad Max destroyer hauling ass out there 😱😂😎💪👊👊
For it being stock it's pretty durable
Indeed Brother 👊. The body cage integrates wonderfully with the huge bumpers and frame 👀. ARRMA designed her to take a beating. 😎💪👊👊
Those dudes in there were petrified
LMAO 😂. I'm glad their heads didn't pop off 😱🍻😎💪👊👊
Mentioned D Boots, 4s d boots or 6s d boots?
These are the 6s Backflips. The 4s Backflip LP's have a smaller sidewall and tire diameter. They rip too. I ran them on my Orange Darling XL for several runs and have used them on my Talion for about 2 years off and on. 🍻😎💪👊👊
I’m about to pull the trigger on an M2C order, anyone have a coupon code?
M2C switched to doing periodic sales instead of a full-time coupon code. I think this was due to materials cost rising plus a massive investment in new CNC machines to keep up with demand and turnaround in a timely manner. Not sure when they'll post the next sale. 😎💪👊👊
No body sends it like The Dubber
Problem with the arrmas is they’re just asking for it haha just got done replacing two a arms the wing the chassis and both diffs 🤦♂️
Every RC can be broken regardless of brand Alex 🤗. I run standard ARRMA diffs with Mugen Seiki E0209 planetary shims and 2-3 Tekno #1222 shims on the front and rear crown gear side bearings 👍. Rarely do I have a diff problem. Actually prefer that over the EXB LSD diffs. 😎💪👊👊
