Vas+ARRMA = Best Vids
Wow that's seriously powerful. The air time is huge. Seems it needs a lot of beefing up to be sent like that though. That wasn't a bad landing. I think the weight of these makes the landing very important, you can't get away with anything less than perfect.
I agree mate, but I also think arrma rc aren’t that strong overall great car just can’t take a good bashing around like other rc
Time for some M2C parts 😋
@@JFWGarage Ehhhh....they are one of the most durable out there. I haven't had much break at all on my Kraton 6s and I send it pretty high and far everytime I take her out haha Almost can be said about my Notorious AFTER i fixed some diff issues 😅 I now have an MT410 and we'll see just how strong it actually is 😁
@@RUZTY1311 X Maxx would have taken that hit no problem. Arma's chassis might be better but even that's debatable.
@@johnvancamp1576 X Maxx is definitely a beast when it comes to durability, but that doesnt make arrma not durable just because the X Maxx is one of the beefier bashers out there👍
Tell him you've been coming to the track since before he was born and that you great grandfather built it. That will shut him up 😄.
Thumbs up for handling the male Karen. I so more than my fair share of these in the wild.
Looks a blast now! Glad your more happy with it👍 shame about the breakages but that’s a lot of weight slamming down.
Fair play with the guy at the end I think I would have told him kindly where to go but he’s probably best ignored👏
Most important thing is you can hear the enjoyment in your voice. That thing gets around nicely..
Buddy of mine overshot one of our big jumps with either his K8S or O8S and flat landed the face of the jump. We heard this "ting" sound, it was his shock shafts literally exploding into 3-4 pieces! He got the M2C 7mm ones, don't think he's had issues since. You were airing that thing out nicely! Looked like the air/speed of a 6s kraton, until you realize it's actual size and distance! I just got a kraton exb 6s and could not be happier with it. I knew they were easier to drive than an outcast 6s... but wow, it's sooooo much nicer!
Keep up the good work!
And here I am again watching it over again, just can't get over the huge jumps
I have not run my Kraton in 3 months. I don't watch Kraton 8s videos, but your video caught my attention. I will bring it back out the next warm day and rip it at the park. Great video!
Thank you. And enjoy the drive. 😎👍
Stick a flier 400amp esc in it, that really wakes up the leopard. I have 12s kraton with leo 870kv, baja with 1050kv and xmaxx with 1050kv. All on fliers and absolutely mental ! 👍
"flier" ESC? I've never heard of that brand. Is that a new brand?
@@AussieRCPlayground No they've been around a while now. Look on ebay for r-snake mamba. I have one but my dumbass loaded the wrong firmware and damaged it. It doesn't come with a lot of instructions and that is why I messed up. If you decide to get one, the firmware should already be loaded. The only thing you need to do is the settings.
Very happy with xlx2 castle 800kv. Love the sensored system.
With great power comes great responsibility 😅 that motor is a beast 💪🏾✌🏾. It is scary how that thing flies and jumps. I miss your neighborhood races with your friends.
Man, I think I can hear the car flying through the air. Absolutely wild 🤩
“Male Karen” love it!!! Those Kraton are amazing. I have the EXB. They are heavy but definitely a beast! Thanks for the vid!!
Really enjoyed this video. 🔥
Ridiculous! But in a good way. I find even the EXB’s are fairly limited in how much you can send them, but they’re still impressive when they get up there! Nice run!
With a few M2C upgrades, carbon fiber tubes around the chassis braces, rpm arms and a few other things I can send my 8s Arrmas all day as high as 26ft with very little issues 👍
That motor is total BEAST mode! The 1050kv might be perfect. Your starting to find the weak points now that your getting massive air 🤩 Luckily there are upgrades for the chassis brace ends and the shock rod ends 👍 Can't wait to see more!
Does the EXB need these upgrades coz I've heard that they still have weak chassis which pissed me off. I brought it expecting it to be kryptonite
What are the upgrades. Do you have links.
@@POLITICALYCORRECTify the shock rod ends are off the EXB and M2C racing makes the chassis brace rod ends out of 7075.
I've been sending this car off these jumps since 2019 and it's the first time I've broken any plastic on this car. To me, breaking 2 plastic parts after 3 years of use and given how it's been used, I have no complaints. Even I forgot that this car has seen some heavy use and weights 14-15kg when it slams the ground, so these breakages are more wear & tear parts that needed replacing than actual "weak points". 😎
@@AussieRCPlayground I hear ya man 👍 You said it yourself, you almost cleared all three jumps and that had never happened before 😱 Everything has a limit, especially when the truck has alot of weight behind it! Keep sending it 🚀🚀
Old mate couldn’t let you have fun. Unlucky landing. Need m2c brace ends , bigger exb shocks . But like you said may as well have just got one by the time you have done all the better upgrades. Nice jumping 👍🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼😜
Shame it broke. would have made good viewing if old mate was a little earlier 🤬 I just love when they say you can't do that it just makes it all the more fun 🤪
Man what a beast, this truck has power for days! Super fun to watch :)
I am 💯 doing that upgrade. Thank you! I can’t believe how far you were launching that beast. 😂
That is a very powerful K8S you got on your hands there mate. Check out the M2C brace rod ends and front motormount brace support. Replace those inner more inaccessible ones with aluminium and leave the outers plastic that way the give point is way easier to access. Those plastic brace ends are a consumable thats for sure.
M2C3215
M2C3586
Looks like it now performs how it should have done out of the box.
Love it mate, look forward to being in touch building my one in coming weeks!!! Let’s make it faster!!!!
I have the same motor when this things passes by you can feel the ground vibrating. Love the grunt ,
That kraton is a fire breathing beast now vas, i remember your first videos it was so underwelming. That leopard motor is a perfect fit for the k8s
I would've loved to see it do a standing backflip like you said it could. That's extremely impressive for such a heavy rig with a long wheelbase being able to do it.
Some extremely competent driving there. Kudos.
EPIC K8s run Vas 😱. That Leo 1050 has gobs of power 👀. I'm running the smaller 5898 1100kv 32/39 in my O8s and it's a torque monster. Great to see her properly powered and going huge at Altona 😍. Gotta love male Karen's 😂. What a douchebag. Anyways, the EXB 8s shocks are a huge upgrade. M2C kit even more so. The alloy brace ends were something I insisted on and they've been flawless. Ed Morris with Eastern RC could get you sorted without Crazy post fees. Happy New Year. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Thanks Rich. Shame it didn't last until the big superman jump, but maybe next time. One thing's for sure, this truck now has the power I always wanted. Will sort a few small things out, but THIS truck is here to stay now. Love my K8S! And a lot of it is thanks to you and Eric. Thank you for what you do, brother. 🤜🤛😎
@@AussieRCPlayground you bet Brother 🤗. Fortunately, Mitch has been all ears with ways to improve the 8s platform. With proper power and a few hop ups, the K8s achieves it's true potential 😱🚀🚀
I'm just going to say it again... there's an appropriate use for each scale... it's physics... if you double the weight and double the lever arm, that's 4x the torque on any landing... I bought the outcast 8s just for the collection... but I won't send it off big jumps... it's broken a piece almost every run as it is... I prefer gas for 1:5 scales... and the old hsp frames and suspensions work fine... rugged and unsophisticated compared to the arrmas... but they don't break! At this large scale, size and tires and durability make the action awesome... you don't need all those fancy arrma parts... and you don't need to send it like an 1/8 scale... it doesn't even look as cool imo... the 1/5 scales look awesome tearing up massive terrain, going off natural land feature jumps, and imo making lots of petrol noise... when they're sent off huge jumps and they're made of plastic, they just look bloated and sound awful when they land, and they break every run... whereas i have dozens of hours through my gassers without any breakages at all...
How about if its m2c beefcake? I'm glad to read your opinion especially all these other channels hyping up random upgrades
With such a power system this plattform is absolut crazy
That's great at jumping and very quick for its size great videos keep them up
Why does it always seem like there is a Karen hiding somewhere, just waiting to ruin our fun? Whatever happened, to mind your own goddamn business? Awsome bash man. That Leopard 58113 motor definitely looks like a beast.
Sick vid bro once again
Awesome truck and I always love your videos!
Nice bash run Vas! Looks like you got the motor/gearing dialed in. The stock shocks and chassis brace needs upgrading for bash jumping especially how high and far you were getting it. Pretty impressive 👍
Nice video mate until 👍👍I'm running the 8s system in my 1/8 kraton and it's a beast now I'm very happy with it 😁🤣🤣👍
That is just insane, couldn't imagine driving something that powerful. I absolutely love it though 😄
that was crazy how that stick got caught in there hahah
Man oh man, this thing sounds kinda scary...like you said, you got it where you want it 👍
M2C shock upgrades for the win 👍💪💪💪
Get yourself some EXB K8S shocks for the front and rear. I rarely have trouble with my shocks after that with my EXB K8S and O8S. That brace end has to be replaced with and aluminum one bud. M2C sells it. Vivaton too. 👍. Also I would recommend putting some carbon tubes around your chassis braces so that they can don't Ben like a banana. Hehe
An excellent pinion grinder. Enjoy!
What a BEAST! 👏👍👌
Yo, RCP, wonderful, he steals this kraton !!
Not sure what it would cost you to get them in Australia but M2c valves/pistons are awesome I put them in mine with a think 50 weight oil it made the truck handle and fly so much better and it lands like butter now. I haven’t even upgraded the shafts or anything yet. I may have to Palmer 800 motor out and get one of these definitely seems like he’s running right where it needs to be
Spewing mate, that thing looks a beast.
That is a scary exciting truggy now mate.
Great driving skill, amazing style. It's a beautiful bashing machine that kraton 8s
Yeah, all mine did was break every run. 1800.00 later I have just about have every stock piece replaced and not including motor, servo or esc. Vitavon and m2c is what your bad boy needs. Now I rarely have an occurrence. Nothing worse than cutting your run time short due to breakage and these things break easily even on the exb.
That thing is a beast 🔥 That track looked sandy and loose It handled it very well No problem putting the power down and spinning out it just hooks and launches Yeah the EXB is the way to go if your going to spend that much cash for a RTR it's best to pay the difference and get the EXB and your choice of electronics
I love the Kraton
Cheers from the USA ✌️
Wow those fans must shift some air with all that noise they're making.
Videos like this are what have prevented me from buying One of the 8S arrmas. I really want one but they seem to break just randomly and for no particular reason. I mean yeah that was a reasonably large jump with a non-perfect landing but still.....
I've been sending this car off these jumps since 2019 and this is the first time I've broken anything on this car (aside from the bent chassis issue when it first released). And even so, this truck weighs about 14-15kg and is being sent 6-7 high and traveling at speed for about 20m or so before slamming back down to earth with intent. I only broke 2 plastic parts (one I had as spare, the other cost me $10), so to say "these cars break too often" seems a little unfair. Especially since it's the first time I've broken anything on it since release.
Maybe other people break them more often, I don't know, but I have no complaints about this truck with the mods I've done to it so far. 😁
@@AussieRCPlayground I'm glad you had a generally positive experience. It just seems like every video I watch with one of these it ends with a breakage. It's usually arms or shocks but something always seems to break. That being said I have no personal experience so maybe I shouldn't judge.
People tend to forget that these are 1/5 scale rc cars, that weigh roughly 30lbs. They are going to break when get massive air with them. If you aren't constantly launching the 15 or more feet in the air all the time, they hold up just fine. I have ran the hell out of my is EXB. I have cracked two arms. The first one happened when I hit my fence at 30ish mph. The other happened after about 20 minutes of jumping it 15-20ft in the air.
Great video and great running truck.did the 1050kv Leopard motor plug into the max 5 esc without charging the bullets on the end of the motor wires or did you have to change them
I actually made some extensions/adaptors to go from the Leopard motor to the ESC. Works well. 😎
Crcu chassis brace under the car. Been amazing.
I have the exact setup in my X-maxx, it's a beast! 👍
Hiya, which motor mount did you end up using? Was looking at the M2C with rear support. Also wondering which pinion/spur size your using. Did you go to mod 1.5?
@@chriscampilan2548 I machined my own mount out of 7075 billet. (I own a cnc mill) yes mod 1.5 and I run a 30/40 for bashing and a 35/35 for speed runs. I also messed around with a belt drive for a while.
Sou apaixonado automodelos, eletrico, nitro e gasolina, carro lindo e 💪 😃👍🏻
Great video Aussie, good as always, happy to see you upload arrma car's, I got the outcast and I'ma thinking to buy Typhon or kraton 6s, what would you choose ? I can only afford one of those.
Great Video!
I have the same Motor here for my Traxxas X-Maxx 8S.
Will install it tomorrow. 😎
It'll be absolutely insane in a X-Maxx, it's lighter. Let me know how it goes. 😎👍
WoooW very nice amigo 🤟🏽😎🤟🏽
Love my V5 Kraton 6s
Awesome!!.
Crazy bashing!! Hahaah 😆
Super dope
I had to lower my gearing on a 1/8 truggy to deal with the loosening pinion.
That things got wings
Nice jumps there mate, loving it!
Cyclist Karens were totally annoying. They don't like to share roads with motorist, and even now don't like to share bicycle tracks with rc cars!!! What the hell....
Dude no joke your missing out on about 15-20 % power using that ESC rather than the Castle, even the Mm 8s let alone the 1/5 castle ESC.
Hobbywing just doesn't handle what the Leopard can offer. Leopard is a crazy powerful motor. At least as good as Castle. Maybe as tough as TP.
Not to criticize it's still a mad as rig.
Just thought if you want to see how amazing those leapords are you might want to "feed it more".
Not really looking to spend another $400 on a ESC at this stage (and that's if you can find one in Australia), so I'll stick the Hobbywing ESC for now. Interesting to know that the Castle ESC will perform better, so maybe one day I'll make the switch, but not something on my list at the moment.
@@AussieRCPlayground yeah you can definately find them. Or you can order them and pay about 350 from USA. That includes postage and tax. 👍.
@@AussieRCPlayground that ESC is absolutely brutal for 8s
@@AussieRCPlayground Even that one is awesome, beats any Hobbywing, and bit cheaper then the xl, 360 vs 450. But you get what you pay for. But like I said, yours is still a mad as rig. Those leapords are crazy powerful. I put the 4092 into my rave motor for a bit of fun but it was overkill, the torque was incredible. It's only 40ml thigh, but very long. Imo longer motors produce more torque than thicker ones. I think the only motor that might be more powerful is the TP motors, but you'd have to be wanting to be in speed competitions to be that hungry for max power lol. I think you probably have all the power you'll need. I'm just crazy obsessed with huge torque lol.
This motor is nuts for the price mate , how was the max 5 on temps after the bash?
Max5 was fine, the fan was not. Time to look for an alternative fan that won't break after every run.
Yeh there shit house fans mate there is a upgrade fan kit you can buy online
I have the exact motor, max 5 esc, you have any problems with it shutting down? and one battery gets warmer than the other? any suggestions
It seems like the car reaches terminal velocity on the drop. As long as you can keep it level, it will probably land and drive away from any height.
Wow she moves! What motor mount are you using? Do you know if the “56” mount Arrma includes with the exb would work with that leopard 58113?
Great video Vaz , I use same set up super powerful
backflip nosedive master is back
The 1050kv and Hobbystar 980kv are similar in size, which would you recommend for the 8s Outcast
Dam you can drive so good. I would make on my buggy s,truggies ECT. Out of house window screen full inside covers. Also for the fans separately. Sick video, want a breast, nice build🏁🏁🏁. Thank you for all the help! Sometimes I take a small tape wrap on all connectors, even battery connection s. Little electric tape. Helps but still can pull apart.
Release the KRATON!! Ohh boy... Me likey
Put a dust cover on I pit them on all my rigs
Small qeustion.. your battery wires are 12awg? Or 10awg?
Definitely get your self a new servo there’s a lot out there that are cheap and better than stock for same price as the stock one then get you a hot racing servo saver 💯💪🏼 that’s all you’ll need
Oh and get the chassis guard for it also it’s protects the chassis and it comes with aluminum plates you can install under the arms you won’t have that problem no more with busting the shock cups or what ever it’s called you broke it will protect that from hard Landings
This motor been 2 years ago, right?
When you were running 39/39 how was the motor temps? Any cogging with that gearing?
I think that motor is a 56mm can. Thats the size of the hobbywing and castle 800kv
Stats say 58mm... 🤷
Male Karen haha 😂
The bottom end of the brace is a big weak spot. Pick up an aluminum one👍
I agree that the riders have priority, it is a bike track after all. However, you were driving when the track was empty! I try to remain polite in situations like that, but inside you know what I want to say to tools like that!
His complaint was that I was damaging the track, not that I was using an area intended for bikes. The guy was a total knob. I've been using this track for years and even council workers haven't said anything to me about using the track or that I've "damaged" it. He just wanted to be a hero in front of his kids on Christmas day. (This was filmed on Christmas day). 😁 And he wasn't even using the track, he was using the skatepark area next to the track. 🤦🏼♂️
What size are those bullets connectors wires
do you have a link for the motor mount and slide? or any parts numbers?
I'm surprised it broke on that jump the X Max would have taken that hit all day. Armas Chassis imo is better but that's even debatable. Some favor the plastic over metal Since it does not bend. However what's not debatable is how well that Krayton handled that sandy track. I drive on the exact same kind of track here at home and I can hardly line that jump up with my x maxx or e revo. I'd say 50% of the time the traxxas are all over the track nearly spinning out trying to get enough power down out of the berms to line a jump like that up. Is it just the low wide stance of the Krayton that makes it handle so much better than the X Maxx? The e revo is More like to Krayton but even that truck seems to not handle quite as good.
What about the tp motors 56 series. Are they any good
What’s the top speed with gearing 34/39?
I used this motor in a X Maxx and it was just to much motor for it. Nice video that K8s seems to run well with it….the extra weight of it will be very hard on the rest of the truck.
Heya, which motor mount did u use with the Xmaxx? Which motor/esc combo did u end up replacing it with?
@@chriscampilan2548 I used the WFO mount for my X Maxx!
Good driving, can you tell me where you got the fan shroud and fans from, I’m in Australia and have the same motor
The fan shroud can be bought online, but I think I've seen some hobby stores carry them, so you may need to do some research. I bought mine online.
The fans are a Rocket fan with an alloy casing. Very good fans.
Sorry for the late reply, but hope that helps.
What battery are you useing
Hi mate absolutely love you're channel will you please review the new traxxas maxx widebody?
What’s your gear Ratio
Hope your move went good brother!
Thanks, but haven't moved yet. It all starts on Jan 4. 😉
What's the difference in this motor and the castle 1100kv 2028?
They permitted people to go outside again in Australia?! This RC is big fun I bet.
Always been allowed to go outside, buddy. 😉
@@AussieRCPlayground I have no room to talk. America is right behind you guys. I’m glad you are well sir!
What’s the motor called 58/113
They need to release a spectrum max5 and a 1050kv for these if they release a v3
Spektrum is junk.
@@Blueknight1960 wow...you know its a hobbywing product
@@onemansvideos2134 Hobbywing has no faith in their product. They only offer a lousy 3 month warranty.
