Did I Go Too Far with the NEW Team Associated MT8?

- RC Cars are not made for Skateparks, did I take this Team Associated MT8 Too Far? Can it match up to the Team Associated MT10 which is the BEST RC Basher you can get for the money! I had some issues, but it's a decent truck, and just needs them weak spots addressed!

MT10. I am aware that this is a long shot.
Why did it cut off on 6s

Hey Phil. I think you should compare the arms themselves on the MT10 and MT8. I believe that if they're basically the same except for size, that might explain why they keep breaking. Because I would imagine that the MT8 is heavier than the MT10. That extra weight translate to even moore force being applied to the arms during impact which would explain why the snap so easily. The stretching could have reduced the structure rigidity.
@@Average_Bruh RPM makes great replacement arms for the MT10. I'm expecting to see them come out with stronger MT8 arms at some point.
I can't get it to work so no chance for us to win story of my life 😂
MT10. I love the little hand to point at little parts. And the sound effect makes me smile every time
The Kaiju had the same problem with tie rods breaking to easy. Redcat addressed this problem with replacement tie rods with stronger metal which seem to be holding up much better.
I think the biggest surprise was the metal tie rod snapping, besides that it was pretty par for the course. I think I like the Mt10 a little better though.
I've seen many videos on the MT10, thankyou for reviewing this one also.
i love my MT10 I actually bought mine because of you recommending it, after I watched your 3 videos on it I decided I had to get one, and I love it. and even though the MT 8 has weak arms and weak camber links, I still want to get one, especially since the parts are actually interchangeable with the kaiju I believe. and with aftermarket kaiju arms and camber links, this thing would be a beast again, great video as always. keep up the good work.
I also bought my MT10 after Heavy Metal RC and Tomley gave it stellar reviews. Then of course I had to follow suit and get the MT8. So far I have beat the snot out of the MT8 after I changed diff oil to reduce tire ballooning significantly and added bump stops to the rearshock rods and haven't been able to break it. Highly recommend! I bought the Lunsford LNS1450 turnbuckles in case the original ones broke but haven't needed them yet. I've stuck to 4s because most guys have pointed out it's complete madness on 6s. It still does killer wheelies on 4s. RC Driver Online has done a few videos with it as well.
@@FeralRC Which diffs did you change the oil on, and what diff oil weight? Ballooning on my Sledge so suggestions would be welcome!
@@lukebaines7785 500k center and both front and rear did 50k. Huge difference. You could go up to 1mil in the center to keep the power more split 50/50. Sledge is a lot more powerful than the MT8 so that 1mil in center might be ideal. I don't have one personally so I can't say for sure.
@@FeralRCThanks, appreciate the advice. Stock is 20 million in the centre (!) and 50k front/rear. Thinking I need to drop to at least 500k in the centre, possibly even 100k like Arrma as I like how their cars handle. Or will I get weird side effects if I drop that low?
Feel a bit let down by the MT8 and its A Arms, on the plus side you save us a purchase 😂😂 will wait until RPM make some Arms
HardcoreRC I see what you mean about this one. I’m with you on this. I wrote a comment saying how much it looks like another truck that I bought. Maverick Quantum+ XT Flux 3s 1/10 Stadium Truck this thing is 💩.
You would have loved it mariea my daughter had a eye appointment mom went in with her and I crawled out front on the rock's. We have about 1200 people in town they think I'm nuts. I'm the only one who has Rcs in town. What is cool we live in the middle of the USA. If you watch the Bruce Springsteen Superbowl commercial it is filmed about three miles away 🤣
@@mikemangiameli561 i know what you mean.i have been in RC hobby for 2 years and only met one person recently that shares the hobby, and I didn't see it. Had my EX07 out and a quick convo started.
I emailed RPM about arms for this as they would fit on the kaiju as well. They said they had nothing in the pipeline for this model at the moment. Save your money.
@@monosurge Thanks for letting me know, thats a shame 😥
Doesn’t seems to be as tough as the MT10, but if RPM makes some arms for it, it will be a great truck. Nice testing, I think you gave it just enough 😃👍
Redcat kaiju parts are direct fit and drastically improved the mt8 durability.
Swap out lower arms, f&r hubs+ front hub carries and that car is an absolute beast.
Once I did those swaps, and swapped out for arrma turnbuckles, the mt8 is the most reliable car I have.
MT10 ||| Started watching your channel for the WLToys 124019 content, bought one myself. Keep up the great work!
I thought the MT-10 was a pretty good size- seems like the MT-08 is a little too big for the strength of its components.
Nah, it all depends on how you bash it. However, it never hurts to replace the arms and turnbuckles with the good stuff (kaiju arms and titanium TBs) before bashing (what I did).
I had to remind myself what Banggood sold as an MT10 equivalent. It is called the HSP 94701. It has a high chassis vs low center of gravity. In looking at recent photos it looks like Redcat - re-engineered the Dukono which means it is not as much like the MT10 as it used to be. Makes me wonder what the future of the Rival MT10 might be, especially with Tomley RC ramping up sales.
MT10...all the way.
I loved the video,because you didn't hold back.I'd rather see an RC pushed to its limits,than just seeing it being used.I'm following you,& Kevin Talbot,because of how you guys show which parts are most likely to break.If I'm going to shell out my hard earned money,I want an RC to be worth what I'm paying for it,& then some.I found this to be a very informative video.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐MT10
I can be reached on Facebook Messenger on this same name😊
I wish they'd make a MT5 with MT10 durability and 8s Arrma/XMaxx size. I need more large scale bashers in the collection.
MT10 Thanks for these videos. Just getting back into RC now that my son is old enough for hobby grade and these videos are really helpful.
MT10 I’ve seen a ton of videos on it including yours and it seems to be a beast
I'm following you from Spain, thank you for your content, you make me feel happy thinking on same thing fun! That MT 10 looks fantastic, thank's again!
MT10
Long time listener, first time caller.
You can pull off some sick jumps, pretty satisfying to watch. The tumbles are good to see too as you can't have sweet landings without a few tumbles thrown in
Thanks Jay :)
MT 10
I wasn’t into your videos before but I’ve come around and now you’re apart of my regulars!
Zip ties and duct tape will fix anything 👍 Impressed you still were able to go full-send with a zip tie tierod fix.
MT10 - enjoying the channel. Keep up the good work. The trouble with 1/8 scale is they are so Big and so Fast you need a big space to run them. I’ll stick to the 1/10 trucks.
Thanks mate
I recently got a Kaiju EXT from Redcat. Like the MT8, its got a Hobbywing 150A esc with Deans. I melted a connector on one of my good 2S packs. As of writing this comment, I put on EC5s. If anything else happens connection-wise, it'll be on me due to my bad soldering skills
MT10. The only thing that stopped me from buying one after your review was local hobby store support. No one seemed to stock parts.
MT10. New to RC Cars here so I find both the MT10 and MT8 interesting for possible future purchases. Enjoying your videos as I learn more about the hobby.
MT10 is ace. I bought one for my wife and called it Homer. Not sure that the MT8 is on my shopping list yet though until like you say someone like RPM makes replacement arms etc for it, but it becomes a bit less of a good deal when you know you have to buy those parts first.
MT10. Also fairly new to the hobby, I got a Big Rock, a SCX24 and a WLT 144001, not only but also because of your reviews. I really appreciate your content. Greetings from Berlin.
Another Good vid there Tomley mate, informative and fair review as always. your getting better with the the editing. Congrats on your success your on to a winner with your RUclips channel. Happy Days!!😊
MT10! Just picked up a used MT8 on FB Marketplace...was an insane deal and the truck is in pristine condition. I was actually looking for the MT10 and when I saw the other listing pop up for the MT8 it was just way too good to pass up on. Even came with an upgraded servo installed and a second set of bead-lock wheels/tires! Just ordered a 4s since I only have 3 cells currently, but really excited to get this out for a rip. All the issues you encountered in this video worry me though so I'm not going to go too hard on it. Hoping we see some RPM after market support in the near future. Cheers!
MT10 - just throwing my hat in the ring on the off-chance I manage to get lucky! I did watch the whole video :)
Speaking of which --- I think videos like this one illustrate how subjective our expectations of "durability" can be. At what point do we say that an R/C car is "durable" enough for 90% of use cases and daily driving? I love a good skatepark bash video, but I can imagine that many people who might buy this truck would never drive it under such circumstances.
That being said, you were more than fair in your test. I'm a recent subscriber but have become hooked so far! Looking forward to more reviews.
MT10
Good honest review. A run in the dark to see the leds would have been good.
MT-10 Yeah, I love it. You destroy cars so we don't have to. It is great to watch!
MT10…. Just getting back into RC’s after 30+ years! Great content!
MT10. Was so excited for the mt8 but after seeing the RUclips vids looks like will have to wait for 2nd gen. Great looking truck. Keep the vids coming.
Was interested for this one after your review of the MT10 but it seems the MT8 is a bit too large for the strength of the components.
I will go for the MT10 now. Thanks for your reviews of the MT10 and the MT8 👍👍
i cant BELIEVE you managed to kill that thing... its a beast! The deans, associated tends to use deans for all their cars, and their battery kits are hooked for that. Deans is fine at the voltage 4-6s is pulling. its not THAT many amps.
MT10 is really cool and the sweet spot for durability thus far for TA and their bashers. The MT8 seems it needs too many hop ups to make it worth it for the price.
MT10
MT-10 those jumps were awesome looking into getting a truck I can have fun with!
The MT10 does look fab .... Love it for my little girl so she can come bashing with me... LoL. Definitely agree with you with staying clear of the 6S... I think it's a bit wicked on 6S. 4S is plenty fun...thanks for sharing bud.😉
MT10. Love my 10 scale Granite. Seems like I can't kill it other than drive shafts randomly blowing out. Granted they are plastic but cheap and easy to replace.
To be honest that's a pretty gentle bash compared to other channels love the chanel keep it going bud honest testing and reviews every one seams to love the mt10 as a perfect al rounder
MT10
Brought my son a little FTX tracer at Christmas to get him into the hobby. After watching your videos he's now saving for an MT10👍
MT10
I think the arms on my cheapo beaten up Maverick Strada MT are stronger than that MT8! Doesn't stop me from putting it on my Christmas list though!
Great video mate
MT10.
Tough market to get in to, can't believe that the arms are so brittle but then the 8S Arrma stuff is the same. Wait and see how the aftermarket support and AE development gets on.
MT10 will be my upgrade from my first RC the HBX 16889 pro, which I bought after finding your vids 👍
MT10. Such a shame about the MT8. If they sort those plastics out with a better compount I think this could be a wicked truck. Also dump those deans connectors. Great video keep it up.
Try puting 10k oil in the centre diff with 7k in the front and 3 or 5k in the rear Phil. The MT-10 will hopefully be a bit better.
RPM make arms for these now but the issue I've also had is the 3.5mm hinge pins bend easy, best and strongest way is simply to fit arrma mojave rear arms on the front and rear of this truck and also use the mojave hinge pins just drill the existing holes to 4mm from the stock 3.5mm the arm has a little slop but a 4mm shim in-between the hinge pin blocks and that issue is sorted also on the front it needs gentle touch with a die grinder to clear the c hubs but its minimal amount of material to remove. next issue i had was the rear upper tie rod the plastic is stronger then the metal which is hilarious in of its self i used 47mm x 4.5mm titanium lunsford tie rods from DMS-Racing now all i kill is wheelie bars and front bumpers from bad landings.
MT10, Great review, you gotta push these cars to the limits that's what we want to see!!
MT10. Love your videos mate! Please keep up the good work!
What's up my brother in R/C great video as usual, the MT10 is pretty awesome!
MT 10, MT 8, MT ANYTHING. LOL. Love your vids tom. New to the hobby have been binging your videos.
Let’s hope team associated address the issue and compensate the new owners.
It’s daft that you purchase a new car then have to rely on aftermarket to sort an issue. It’s clearly a manufacturer issue. Team Corally will get my money as they seem to listen to the client base.
Shame. Also esc cutting out! I love my MT10. Shame TA
Me and my Dad love your vids Tomley it's kind of a tradition now every time you upload a vid were like oh yes a tomley vid, love the MT10 we've been interested in the car for a while now. And my car the ftx zorro is an exact replica of yours 👍
Dude that thing shreds! It definitely took a beating too, arms might be a slight weak spot, but they did still take some good abuse before breaking
Cool truck. Love this. Deffo consider for my first 1/8 truck. Got a 1/8 buggy at the moment but I think it needs a friend.
MT10 - Awesome truck. Loving the videos keep it up!
MT10!!!
RPM arms and some seriously in-depth center diff attention are needed here. All the power is dissipating through the front diff/wheels. RPM makes arms for the Rival mt10. I'm sure they are coming soon for this truck. Seriously considering this or an Xmaxx. My Emaxx is about as upgraded as it can go without spending as much as the cost of a new Xmaxx on 1/8 scale diffs.
MT10 - I think this was a fair review. It’s marketed as a heavy duty basher so I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect it to survive a relatively tame skate park session without crapping itself every five minutes. 🤷🏽♂️ Looking forward to the next update on your FF03 project. 👍
MT10 - For my own personal use case, I prefer that over the MT8. Large enough to bash, do some speed runs and over all have loads of fun while breaking less. Thank you for the reviews mate! I may yet be converted from the Traxxas dark side! Cheers!
I bet it would run pretty good and trick well on 6's but with a set of belted tires on it. Or the tires from that skeeter
That’s a mad truck. Hopefully they sort the arms . Great video . Made me chuckle 😂👍
Mt10 great vid and am in the market to replace my daughters firestorm… so a few good reviews to go off of late! Thanks for the content!
MT10,,,,love your videos, keep up the great reviews 👍
Mt10! Its a bummer but on the other hand Im glad I wasn't the only one with problems on it lol!!! But once Ive changed out most of the parts to my Kaiju parts its held up really well!
MT10 in hopes you haven't done the drawing yet. I just came across your channel. Good show!
My wife has the Redcat Kaiju. And the arms, steering knuckles and turnbuckles are a weak spot but it's a beast. Yeah hopefully RPM will make some arms
Also the MT10 is a smaller version of the Kaiju which is cool.
MT-10
Hello from Texas been watching for a while now learned alot thanks to you really like watching during my lunch break at work makes me want to go home and work/bash my r/cs (traxxas slash, tmaxx 3.3) but then couldn't afford all the parts and upgrades haha. Thanks again for the great content.
MT10 - yeah, think I'll wait on the MT8 until RPM makes some A-arms. Thanks for putting it through its paces and being honest. The Redcats also tend to have weak A-arms.
MT10! Good review, thanks. Shame it's not nearly as durable as the MT10. Is it that much heavier?
MT-10 Almost bought the MT-10 instead of the Arrma Vorteks I ended up with, still looking at the MT-10 to add to my old tc3 sitting on the shelf.
Hopping they will come out with a MT10 exb version. I do get that these cars are though for the scale but since bashing actually is a thing, it would be nice with something that was guatanteed or att least designed to actually survive bashing.
MT10, great review on the MT8, glad I always wait to buy anything till its had the tomley test 😀 👍🏻
MT10.. great honest review as always 👏
MT10
Always watch to the end. Sometimes I even let the adverts play all the way through instead of skipping in case that provides more revenue to the channel 🙂
MT 10 - I like your videos and how you approach the RC topic. Usually it has some aspect that I can take something from. Or at least a smile... Keep up your work! Looking forward for more.
been watching you for a couple years. I don't normally subscribe to anyone. Just subbed brother. (honestly, it's the little finger that kills me, wuuUUUUmmp) 🤣
I wonder how this would stack up against its sister truck the red cat Kaiju .. it would be super cool if you could get one and do a review on it and compare. The mt8 shares a lot of parts with this truck
MT10 - Good review, keep em coming
It seems to have a lot of potential from all the kids I have seen. It needs some tuning like diffs and shock oil it's over damped which probably doesn't help with the arms breaking, hopefully RPM will be on it though. Maybe with some upgrades and tuning, it might be on par with the MT10 🤞
MT10
No doubt there will be a revised version soon
Shame to see arms break so easily when the MT10 has made such a good name for itself as the best budget basher!
MT10 looks tougher than its big bro. Great vid
MT10 Oh man I'd love to win this one! Great looking truck! Good luck to everyone. Cheers! I painted my first RC body this week... had some issues lol. It came out alright ish but my window masks came loose during mid paint session so I had to slap on the supplied window decals to hide it. Shame cause the idea was to have black tinted windows.
MT10 FTW! Sad to see the MT8 hasn’t done well on the durability side of things
Still looks better than 4s kraton. Rpm is making arms now. Nice video
Mt10 . I’m new to your channel . I paint rc shells as a hobby but my back ground is on road and I’m looking for a buggy for my son to use and hopefully fall in love with the hobby like me .. cheers for informative vlogs
Thanks mate. MT10 would be my choice for something to get the kids in to RC
Looked like the wheel folded underneath it could be with the length of the shocks letting them top out drop more when in the air?
MT10 ftw! would look great next to my little rustler :) Keep up making new vids! love them.
Mt10 would do! Great testing Talbot style:)
MT10
Just getting in to the hobby and looking at getting another basher, your videos are very helpful :D
MT-10 For taking a beating and keep it moving ride it till the wheels fall off keep up the awesome videos
MT 10 What's the spares situation like. If they are cheap and plentiful that's a bonus, Saying that repairing after every bash might get a bit tiresome!
MT10 toughest and strongest 1;10 truck, thanks for great vidio
MT10, Great video! When you go bashing you should expect things to break! Just like you said in your video about Talbot! 😂
MT-10 thanks for the review
Team associate is one my favorite rc vehicle. I had a buggy when I was a kid and it would be awesome to have one now. That was a good bash session. Keep up the good content. As long as you are having fun with bashing or drifting or racing any rc car can be great. Sweet truck.
MT10 - been looking at this truck since watching your review vids for it, think it's the one for me...
MT-10. I would definitely like to try that MT/10. To have something to play around with my 2 boys. Being since work has been slow since the COVID I haven't been able to afford anything. I have 2 broken nitro Revos and a Wraith Spawn with a custom body that I built. But it has a stripped center gear in the trans. And really can't afford to get it back on the trail. I hate even putting my business out like this. But I'm swallowing my pride hoping to be able to get something for my boys 👍 if not I hope whoever receives it has a blast!
What changes would you make to the centre and front diff oil weights to stop it diffing out and ballooning?
I love your videos. The zip-tie trick is genius, learning lots as I'm just entering the hobby. Regarding the breaking arms, I'm guessing it's the size. The thing with size and the physics of volumetric increase with the scale while the parts didn't get beefed up enough. Love the suspension on this one.
Mt10
MT 10 - good video as ever. Agree with yr previous view that small car like hbx 16889 makes ideal skate park basher unless you like wrenching and paying to fix bigger cars. I tend to take my ftx tracer or flyhal 600 (cousins to the hbx) as backups to my bigger cars and the small ones always survive the skate park trip.
