Yeah. The kraton 8s isn't made for concrete landings I'm afraid. This skatepark is my local and I use it as my testing grounds. Just got to watch out for dogs 🙁 It gives me a good feel for the rig with regards to air control etc... It's usually a fun place to bash and the grass landings aren't as harsh on the cars. Thx for watching buddy 👍
I had the same problem it’s not the servo it’s the PILLOW BALL RETAINER, takeoff your two front tires you’ll see 2 big plastic screws they tend to tighten up so you can’t turn. M2C racing makes aluminum ones with a plastic insert. Or just wrap piping tape around the screw and put it back in, that’s what I do haven’t had many issues
This is the biggest size pinion I can get in with the 47t spur. I didn't have any temp issues, but it is winter. I was considering going for a 39t spur with may a 25t/ 26t pinion to get more power. I recon I'm getting around 50mph at the moment. I haven't put the GPS on it though.
Hi buddy. I've got a set of Proline body savers on it pro6360-00 and a titanium rear skid plate made by CRCU (Custom Rc Upgrades) wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/330535/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw74e1BhBnEiwAbqOAjI69TgOLkN0wrGjIEUVXSXiPSpOSXDWIvo6KqMvUmc3Fu6DyX7HRrhoCgKkQAvD_BwE ruclips.net/video/mD60SiWUWDs/видео.htmlsi=KEYOn9FEJeSV14eg
Hi buddy. I'm using a set of 6200 mah 80c zeee 4s lipos. I get around 15 mins run time. I would recommend lowering the lipo cut off value on the esc as from factory its set quite high.
Yes buddy. Max the punch and it should wheelie. I've added one ear plug in my center diff to get to flip easier but I was able to wheelie before I put the ear plug in as well.
@@inspiredrc I’m more of a high speed, drifting, guy. Which I know the K8 is better for but does the O8 turn sharper, handle better, and wheelie better? I’ve heard the O8 feels like more power and more fun?
@thepatternforms859 it's hard to decide which better hence why I have both. Personally the shorter wheelbase makes the outcast more fun. I can get a double backflip with the outcast where I only get a single backflip with the kraton on the same jump. The outcast wants to wheelie alot which make it difficult to get it to turn as the front wheels are always lifting up. If you like to do speed runs the kraton is better at it being more stable. I prefer my outcast as I like to jump my rc's and its more suited for that. Tbh from what you said the kraton will fit your bill. In the future you can ear plug the center diff to help with stunts and wheelie. If after that you still have the outcast itch it wouldn't take much to convert the kraton to an outcast.....
Unfortunately the c clip holding the rear bearing In pinged off which allowed the bearing holding the input gear in place to slip out. This could have ended badly. The loose mesh between the input gear and ring gear could break teeth and ruin diffs. Luckily it must have just happened and my diff was unaffected. 🙂👍
Yes but that size battery will be really heavy not to mention most likely to be very expensive. Also not sure if it will fit in the trays. I wouldn't recommend going with such a big batt. I've had good luck with zeee lipos. The biggest I would go is prob a zeee 9000mah 4s pack.
That power system is perfect for the Outcast. I was impressed that ARRMA went with this appropriatley size motor in the new v2 RTR EXB instead of the just getting by, min spec motor in the previous RTR. I don't think most people would really need to upgrade that motor in an Outcast. Like you though I do wonder if it is good in the long term for a Kraton, or if eventually people with that system in a Kraton will desire more power.
Hi buddy. Although the 1100kv is a decent size motor the 30/46 gearing is at the max you can fit. Tbh I didn't feel I had enough juice. I'm thinking of going 27/39 to see if it helps. A max 5 combo will add weight so could result in more breakages. I think I need more run time before I can decide. One things for certain its defo a fun large scale ripper!
Perfect skate park jumps to grass Everytime I see concrete landings I cringe

When i see thunderRC videos not even grass helps, youtubers go hard with this cars, lol.
I am glad V2 of the flexible wing mount is working well for you! Great Video!
Thx matt. The v2 wing mount been superb 👌 no issues at all and car will wheelie for days... 🙂🙂
Shes a beast of a beauty- cant wait to go run my 3B aka (Big Black Beast) after winter here in WA
👍 arrma always kills it in the styling department. I think the k8 looks amazing 👏
great !st run skatepark looks like a fun one....
Thx buddy. Its a small skatepark I use as my testing grounds 👍 there's more content to come with this rig!
cool cant wait@@inspiredrc
Great bash brother
Thank you

Thx buddy. Worth trying the tape solution 👌
Nice vid 🤘🏼
Thx buddy 🙂
That's the gearing I use in my K8S. 30/47 with the XLX2 and 1100kv motor from HW
Nice. How do you find it? I was thinking of going to a 39t spur with maybe 26/25t pinion.....
Che bestia!!
Questa macchina supera l xmaxx traxxas!!
Anche molto bello
Complimenti per il video
😜🤚
Thank you 🙂
I have the O8 version its a beast
Best 8s stunt truck imo! 👍👍 SUPER FUN!
@@inspiredrc yeah man I wanna bash mine so bad but the weather here sucks.
I like it but I think the stock motor looks like it has more power to me.
This is the biggest size pinion I can get in with the 47t spur. I didn't have any temp issues, but it is winter. I was considering going for a 39t spur with may a 25t/ 26t pinion to get more power. I recon I'm getting around 50mph at the moment. I haven't put the GPS on it though.
What skid plate are you using and body skids?
Hi buddy. I've got a set of Proline body savers on it pro6360-00 and a titanium rear skid plate made by CRCU (Custom Rc Upgrades)

what mAh battery and how much run time you getting bash like you are in this video? approximately
Hi buddy. I'm using a set of 6200 mah 80c zeee 4s lipos. I get around 15 mins run time. I would recommend lowering the lipo cut off value on the esc as from factory its set quite high.
Shame about the servo.. I use a POWER HD WH-80KG servo which has been brilliant!
Thx buddy. I may have to get one. 👍
Did you have the new copperhead 2's on too?
Yes
Out of the box stock will this wheelie easily? Punch setting all it needs?
Yes buddy. Max the punch and it should wheelie. I've added one ear plug in my center diff to get to flip easier but I was able to wheelie before I put the ear plug in as well.
@@inspiredrc which is more fun this or the outcast 8s?
@thepatternforms859 Outcast 8s if your planning to jump and stunt it. Kraton 8s if your more of a track guy.

what happened to your rear bearing??

The loose mesh between the input gear and ring gear could break teeth and ruin diffs. Luckily it must have just happened and my diff was unaffected. 🙂👍
What's ya runtime❓️
Out if the box the lvc level is set high on these cars. I'm using a set of zeee 6200mah batts. I get around 10- 12 mins of run time.
@@inspiredrc would 14,000 mah significantly improve the runtime on this❓️
Yes but that size battery will be really heavy not to mention most likely to be very expensive. Also not sure if it will fit in the trays. I wouldn't recommend going with such a big batt. I've had good luck with zeee lipos. The biggest I would go is prob a zeee 9000mah 4s pack.
@@inspiredrc thanks bruh
Came for the truck, music ran me off
Sorry buddy. Its not everyone's cup of tea I know. My editing style requires a little music unfortunately. Thx for giving the vid a go anyway. 👍👍
@@inspiredrc No Worries, that's what a volume knob is for👍
