I am noticing the front wheels wobble a ton when you were at the tennis court. Is it normal for that to happen? I just bought a used 2.5 and have been driving it on my carpet and I notice my wheels doing the same and thought it was an issue.
It’s the gyro. As long as it’s still driving how you like it it’s fine. But if you’re not a fan start adjusting it with a small flathead til it stops
Fkn love mine.. so much M2C shit on mine tho
I just got the 3D printed wing mount and wheelie bar for mine. Tbh I don’t plan on super hard bashing as I just fucken hate breaking parts now but I think with this wing mount it should hold up to what I throw at it
Pin tires are grippy
Hell yeah
@midwestern_rc I have those..just need to mount em.. what you think of brass rims...front only? Thanks!
@@johnlujan8706 not a bad idea for more forward weight bias. Although brass wheels all around and brass portal covers in the front will achieve the same thing and lower center of gravity better.
@midwestern_rc thanks! I bought 3 Ascent18s and will build them up. Thanks again!
Dude, how tall are you? The mojave looks like a senton when you standing behind it😂. Great video and great contant!
6’4” 😂😂🤝🤝
Mind sharing how you did thar?
Had a spare front axle for an scx24 and it bolts right up to the rear. Furitek brushless system. All plugged into an SR315 and bound to a dx5c. Honestly not really worth it with the hard body I may make it 2WS again soon. Doing a full video on this topic within a week.
Would there be any way 4s 1300 Mh batt would fit and or not fry the esc?
A lot of ppl run 4S LiPos in these and since it’s water cooled I think you’d be fine. Just bring a temp gun and check it after a minute of run time
I think yours is broke 😂😂😂😂
Yeah I sold it. Thing sucks.
I really appreciate you being so honest I personally love mine but you have some really great points 🤘✌️
I appreciate that!
Great video thanks🤘✌️
No problem 👍
I really appreciate your time and effort this was really helpful 🤘✌️
Glad it helped!
I have the same exact one it’s my favorite rc car and I have put $400 into upgrades it’s amazing
I have a pretty modified Land Rover and I made the body into a pick up truck with a wooden bed. It’s my best performing mini crawler. I love these things.
@@midwestern_rc that sounds really cool and fun
Where did you go? 😔
Took some time off but will be doing some videos again soon! Got a new job and finally finished with the training next week
Adding brass and lowering it did it for me and I think you should name your original coarse river road 😊
I like it!
Have you tried the Redcat Vigilante? I'm looking into a first big basher rc and the Vigilante or Xrt seem like the options I'm most interested in
I have not but from what I’ve seen the redcat isn’t the most reliable. The XRT is a good truck. Get a chassis brace from M2C racing. Plan on upgrading the servo and wheels and tires. Oh and the wing mount get a 3D printed one. Then it’ll be able to handle quite a bit of bashing.
Hard body is stopping me from having one .
I hear you on that. I love the looks but it’s so ridiculously top heavy.
Homie I the shit!! Saved me time
🫱🏻🫲🏾🫱🏻🫲🏾🫱🏻🫲🏾
Pinion and spur blew apart after first run 20 minutes in field on XRT. Sledge has to be the absolute worst designed truck for an off roader. Would be fine for a street car but the exposed gearing means it’s open to debris. 10 out of 10 would never buy again.
Yeah I’ve never owned a sledge so I can’t personally say much but I’m not a fan. I’ve sold the XRT since this video. Pain in the ass to work on imo and at the time all the shit I was breaking was out of stock. Kinda want another XRT tho now.
That’s cool
After this video tho and replacing the ESC I’ve had no issues with this since. I think the body really helps protect most of the important stuff. I also don’t smash and bash it as hard as I used to haha
If you’re running it on snow and someone has sprinkled salt then that causes short circuit (don’t think I need to explain how and why. Heavy tires would typically affect the motor, but that wasn’t it.
They warrantied the ESC tho so that was neat
My punisher is the same. I've been having it since Feb of '21. It'll pick up the front at 50+. I installed a jambo wheelie bar...did not help at all. LOL. And yes. on 6S these motors get super hot and shut off. I cut out the 'windshield' and it helped...a little. But fans are key. I made a tower brace from front to center, and center to rear. Worth each cent...keeps chassis straight.
Good call! I just got the kagama and yeah it’s WILD on 6S. I think I’ll also just run it on 4S haha
Arma a crushes the on road scene. Traxxas crushes the off road. Just my opinion. The arma chassis needs to be addressed. Traxxas electronics need to be addressed.
Well put actually. But Arrma 8th scale is better than Traxxas. I just got a new Arrma Kraton 8S EXB RTR with the revisions. Gonna do a video soon and doing the exact same jump that bent the chassis on the RTR Kraton 8S V1
Good comparison. I’d like to also see one with stock vehicles including the new redcat.
I have a stock redcat ascent 18 I’ll be doing another video like this soon.
Love that spot dude!
I like both but in my opinion arrma are a better product the company is more for the customer and Traxxas is not that's what I feel
I agree 100%. They both have their issues but yeah I like the Kraton better overall. The XRT is very fun with jumps tho haha but it definitely needs the M2C chassis brace.
Whats this ear plugs thing. Never heard of it. Im new. Just bought my first car last week. Vortex 3s blx. It rips. Thanks for making vids for us newbs.
I wouldn’t worry about earplugs with a 3S car. But it’s essentially the thickest diff oil you can run. Not really oil. Actual silicone earplugs you buy from Walgreens crammed into the center diff on a 6S car (imo still too much) or on an 8S car. It essentially is like welding the diff so there is no differentiating power to one side it’s 50/50. I like Earplugged center diffs on my 8S cars cuz I can do wheelies easier and backflips easier. But it does make turning in a little harder.
Id never buy traxxas.
Okay
Earplugs? Please explain.
Literally just silicone earplugs from Walgreens! They lock the diff so it spreads the power 50/50. Better for grip and flipping
@Midwestern Rc I'm new to your channel and I am also new to rc hobby. I just purchased a Traxxas xrt ultimate and I was look for videos to educate me on the car and other Rc cars..so please give me a better understanding to what you are saying and what I should do to make my car faster and the adjustments needed
I do that in the video and other videos of mine. I wouldn’t focus on making the car faster I would just practice landing on all four wheels as that right there is going to prevent the most breakages and lead to having the most fun.
Last time my RC buddy and I ran together we were out in a place that the county used for road waste and just county junk. Sheriff showed up and asked what we were doing and I told him just a couple of overgrown kids playing with overgrown toys. (Had a MTXL and a 5T along with a Xmaxx and a couple of drones in operation) He laughed and said have fun and beer does not count for hydration. ( south TX during the summer)
Has anyone tried the 4s backflips on a k6s ? Compared to copperhead 2 s ? Thanks 😊
Yeah they’ll work! They do tend to blow easier though
Heel yah Nicka . Time to blaze and roll out a k6s today . Have a great Memorial Day weekend . We got good weather finally and prayers go out to the folks in Iowa affected by the devastating tornadoes . 🌪️
You too!!
Mine will be here Monday. I also have skid plates and braces on the way along with 2 max amps 10900 batteries. (yes the maxxamps are horribly expensive but tough as nails, buy once, weep once) I have a MTXL which I love but don't want to run it any more since it was discontinued. Really looking forward to it.
I been running mine on 3s for 5 years now and no broken parts.
You run it on 3S? Like 2 3S batteries you mean so 6S?
@@midwestern_rc I run 8s. That was meant to be sarcastic. You can run 3s and it will be a slug.
I just ordered one and get it May 22. I like your upgrades and may look into the turnbuckles and yes, Vitavon is expensive, but it looks cool. ;) I spent 2300 bucks on my SCX6 Honcho with Vitavon. It just works. I may stick another grand into this new LOSI but Im not going overboard like I did with the SCX6. I really like the carbon fiber body panels from Vitavon for LOSI.
Your dumb!
Ive got just about every Losi model (and several others) but my go to electric is the Super Rock Rey. I have 3 of them. I also have a mint (literally never even been turned on) SBR V1. My favorite Losi is the 5ive T and i havent had to worry about how much battery i have left with that other than in my transmitter.
I have gotten in and out of this hobby so many times every time Arrma comes out with something new I have to get it. I have owned most of them except for the outcast 8s. I must say that my favorite arrma vehicles are the Typhon. 3s is a great basher with a couple of cheap upgrades. And the granite 3s is an unbeatable basher. The Kraton 6s is my go to speed bash King. The 8s Kraton does need some upgrading before bashing it hard it is extremely heavy and takes a toll on those parts
The new Kraton 8S V2 EXB answers those questions mate 🤝
Kraton 8s❤
YESSIRRRR
damnit man, great crawling, love the spot your at, are you still running the utb18?, iam a capra man to, love the crawl !!!!
Mannnnnnn I sold it! The front CVDs kept breaking. So if your front tires are in a bind just pull it out and don’t try to gas through it! I really liked it a lot. But any time I had to go crawling I’d just bring my 4WS 1/10 scale Capra.
HONESTY!!!! allways be that way, thanks for the information on the capra,!!! just got one, loving it!!, i did subscribe!! 4WS is allgood!!
Thanks for the sub!
It’s a shame how expensive these are but yet you have to spend extra money to make it more durable or even the fact you have to buy a battery for it. That’s what’s been keeping me from buying one.
Honestly after owning all sorts of RCs I’d have to say 8th scale Arrmas are where it’s at. The size of a 5th scale is fun sure. But yeah they ALL need money spent on them to be durable and even that they will still break and are more expensive to repair.
Sheesh , sorry dude . That sucks . Hopefully they replaced the parts you needed
They did! Love the warranty service with horizon
I use my leaf blower after using a compressor for a couple weeks the powerful type of leaf blower works great after spraying with silicone lube
Thanks for making this vid . This will help me a lot . 👍👍🦅😊
Glad it helped!
Working with a Kraton 6s and she can fly like but if I can’t land consistently it won’t be good for long . I ll have to elsrn by making mistakes
Force yourself to practice smaller jumps until you can get consistent with them. THEN purposely try to make small mistakes so you can learn to try to correct it when it tumbles and there’s less risks of breaking! And most importantly enjoy that process! I can do big sends and everything but I like the medium ones much better now! (Less stressful LOL)
I was learning by making mistakes , still am 👍🙄🦅
I went for the 4s already too deep into the RC stuff 😂 it’s pretty big tho for a 1:10 scale
The 4S is probably my favorite tbh. Easy to bring around. Most durable. Absolutely rips.
Fairplay to you mate, jumping your rc wrong on purpose to teach others. Great video 👍
Thanks 👍! I’ll be doing more soon actually!
What do you use for batteries?
Gens ace 850mah
What’s the difference between the stock servo vs the upgraded?
Stock servo is weak and has plastic gears that will break very quickly
@@midwestern_rc thanks for the QUICK replay wow
