@@GURU_RCs this spot is out in Columbus but the other videos on my channel are from the one on Warrensville center

I’m not 100% the road but it’s shaker rocks in shaker heights! There’s quite a few climbing gyms and outdoor climbing spots in the area. Indoor climbing gyms in Akron, Lakewood, downtown CLE, shaker. Outdoor spots in Brecksville, Hinckley, Youngstown 😄. If you like crawlers, a legendary crawler/climbing spot is whipps ledges

I have a better version uploaded where I actually complete the climb too 🤙🏽

Nice! Yea it’s an awesome truck especially with that chassis brace and some shock tuning. The variable dampening kit really made it land much better. Sounds crazy plush now

@@V8chump I just ordered all of that! I have been running stock only

@@DuitLikeThishow’s she been buddy? I just added copperhead tires and man it made me fall back in love with this truck. Slides onroad so much better. Broke a chassis and replaced that, I’d start ordering spares since it’s discontinued. I got arms, gears, driveshafts, steering linkage, wings/mounts, bumpers… I went crazy

Thanks buddy 🙏🏼 I’ve been on the outdoor grind this year and I think it’s made me even better

@@V8chump glad to see your hard work is paying off!!

Thank you buddy! Hoping for your quick recovery 🍻

I got it in another video 😁 I’ve just been training and climbing outdoor most of the year though so not too many videos

Yea man it’s a good time! I got a few v9s but indoor climbing isn’t very consistent with grading so so I’ve been doing. Or outdoor climbing lately, it’s so damn fun with a couple buddies. Actually been establishing a new area with a buddy recently, wire brushing off moss and brushing off sand/dirt from unclimbed routes

Thank you buddy 🙏🏽 i got a few more I just made public again. I also notice you must be somewhat nearby, I see you’ve done some crawling at spirit controlled RC! I’m in northeast Ohio so immediately knew where it was by checkin out a video of yours

Thanks buddy 😁 looking to send a v9 in the next couple weeks so I can say I climbed v9 before my ninth month of climbing, just started at the end of April

Yes. Yes he did. Shook me a bit as well

Haha I love this comment! Yes yes I did, it’s honestly quite easy other than that last move 🥲

DB Pro is one of a kind I swear! For its size it absolutely eats rough terrain. If you set the suspension as high as it can go it has tons of travel too. Looks so cool in motion

Thanks man, means a lot. Thanks for the comment and view 😁

@@V8chump all good mate 👍

Thanks brother 😁 I was surprised the DB pro could take that terrain. Nothing but divots and rocks

Thanks buddy been in pursuit of a triple backflip now! Got some variable dampening pistons and thicker shock oil on the way 😈

Are you using the same rods? You’d have to measure lengths but maybe the sledge one piece links would work? Those ends can’t pull off and definitely won’t break 😁

@@V8chump it's the end link that are on the pushrods that connect to the rockers. I even tired the rpm endlinks and they still pulled out. I just replaced them with the 7075 Traxxas ones and did the limiting strap mod haven't tried them yet though this Sunday I'll give a update.

@@alexadams2336 oh wow that’s weird, have you disconnected your suspension to make sure your arms are traveling freely? If they’re locked up or gritty it could be adding resistance… reason I say this is because 99% of the time I see guys ripping out the bottom ends when their shocks fully extend 🤔

Nah that’s not how fans work. If you completely block either side of a fan you kill it’s performance, you need some space otherwise it basically gets choked out. The heatsink I use allows almost zero airflow if the fans are mounted directly

Oh I feel your pain I had to build this one three times to get it right, it broke right through the middle section when I hit it at high speed the first time 🤣. I just had some 1/4” thick plastic laying around and some tubular aluminum I found at work with a curve in it, cut the plastic into smaller sections so I didn’t need to bend it so severely (causes breaks if you do) then screwed it to the aluminum frame. The curved pieces of aluminum also have little quick release tabs so I can switch out the legs to set the height however I need it. It might be pretty hard to replicate but i could send you some pictures or a video if you’d like 😁. It’s much lighter than wood and probably more durable over time

@@V8chump wow… i am really impressed that you answer so fast and so nice! Thank you a lot! I think I know how you build yours, I’m gonna try in my own 😁 Thank you a lot an have a great day! 🥹

Ah it’s alright I’ll probably be able to find them, I think UA-cam has something that blocks most links

@@V8chump yeah maybe. Ebay didn't have anyone selling black so you will have to look on integy's website.

It doesn't like me posting the part number either.

Just search e revo (with the space) on integy's website. The driveshafts are about midway down on the second page. The black ones are a little below the others next to the alloy beadlock wheels.

That’s pretty sweet didn’t know those existed! That said I’ve never had an issue after straps which are way cheaper and don’t trade off any durability by introducing another weakpoint in the shaft but sounds like you could have a better street setup since you don’t reduce droop 😁

@@V8chump there isn't any more weak points introduced with these driveshafts. Plus, in the long run, they might actually be cheaper than the CV axles b/c you don't have to replace diff cups.

@@trentonnobles464 oh they must be different from what I’m thinking, hit me with a link brother they sound sweet! 😁

@@V8chump what color: blue, acid green, orange, purple, silver, red, grey, or black?

@@trentonnobles464 classic black 😎

I didn’t even notice 😱 yea I meant too long the shafts could still pop out. You could get away with 80mm but It might take slightly too much droop away. I was trying to get the perfect amount of droop which I think is somewhere between 85mm and 80mm hence the spacer 😁

@@V8chump Thanks mate for the reply and info, extremely appreciated sir I’ll go with the 85 I think then and try and work out the spacer Cheers Legend 👍🏻

@@andjusticeforall8813 anytime buddy sorry for the error in the video, I shoulda caught it!

Sorry for the late comment, I’ll have to give them a try this summer 😁. I’d like to try the on road version to see how it changes the performance. stock tires seem to grip hard, then roll on the rim, which causes the car to flip

@@V8chump the on road Duratrax tires have very deep tread and when you go full throttle from a rolling start … they actually screech….. 👍🏻💯

@@pitbullrcltd6252 and would the road ones be the duratrax ST? Definitely want that tire screech 😈

@@V8chump Duratrax ST Bandido on road tires …..the Duratrax six pack MT tire is the off-road variant… Both these model tires have no ballooning what so ever….. Gr8 tires …..👍🏻

Thanks buddy! You should be 😁 I wish I could make more content but winter supremely blows. Another thing I failed to mention is I sealed the holes in the rim and vented my tires, makes a massive difference

@@V8chump yeah. Just took mine out and ended up ripping the whole rear wing off mount and all. Crazy how much abuse it can take.

@@Jobro_Ya_Know damn! Luckily my wing mount lasted, I seem to nosedive or land on the roof more than I land on the wing. That said my wings barely holding together from all the wheelies grinding it away 😅🤣 were you running in the cold? I see guys breaking plastic from even mid level bashing when it’s super cold

@@V8chump yeah I went for a front flip and broke the wing mount and the support that is on the rear body mount. My fault 100%. Surprisingly I have yet to brake a rear toe link

Yea I’m gonna have to pick up a 2nd savox that one I have isn’t enough. I will say the max6 definitely increases power quite a bit and I haven’t had any drivetrain problems yet, though I only bashed 3 or 4 times before winter hit. Gotta say I’m blown away with how durable the platform is seeing as I put maybe $30 into parts in 2 years

@@V8chump That's good to hear. Iv'e been seeing the Erevo gett alot of flac on forums and on youtube for how easily it breaks, But seeing how you absolutely thrash it and myself nailing a few concrete walls It's much tougher than people say. Also to keep the drive cups from wearing out Ive experimented with silicon PB blaster from a can, it keeps them from squeaking and it doesn't attract much dust at all.

@@needleneck3770 yea idk, I feel like some people have no idea what they’re doing 😂😅. For instance, there’s a guy on UA-cam who KEEPS breaking driveshafts on it while running tires that have to be 2x the stock tire weight, then buys cheapo “upgraded” shafts and breaks those with his stock tires… 😂🤦🏼‍♂️. I drive it like this if not even harder (skate parks) every single time I run and have had to take a wrench to it maybe 3 times outside of general maintenance like checking bearings and changing shock oil

@@V8chump I know exactly who you're talking about, watching him makes me cringe hard. I'm really impressed with the durability though. Ive swamped it on accident like 3 times and it runs just fine still no rust in the motor I always dry it off with an air compressor after every run. I think the standard savox servos are pretty well weather proofed, they might not have a ingress rating for water but taking it apart it does have o-rings on the screws and such.

@@needleneck3770 LMAO that’s so goddamn funny. Hey if they’re having a good time though more power to em, just gotta learn how to fix weakpoints without making another one in the rc game. In regard to water I have very similar experiences, I’ve hit some massive puddles that are hidden by grass and kicked up massive tails of water, still have no rust on the truck and nothing in the diffs besides the vanquish grease I put there last winter 😎 like you said as long as you blow them off and I even put them in front of a household fan for a while for residual moisture that could sit in the heads of screws etc after the compressor

If that’s based on my driving I’ll take it as a complement 😂😅

FULLY agree, the 3s arrma cars are insanely tough, I mean I sent my granite off a 40+ foot cliff 3 times and didn’t have a single issue. Super glad I chose the revo over the Kraton as well, I see guys sinking 1,000+ into their kratons still having issues with the rear end exploding

You guys format about the Maxx, white is the toughest one up to 4s cars on the market

@@eM4rio yea the maxx is likely the toughest RTR on the market but 3s wise arrma reigns supreme. That said if you have the money for it I’d definitely go for the maxx especially since it comes widened now 😁

Thanks for checking in! 😁 I recorded some scx24 running footage a while ago then the whole family got Covid and got super busy with the holidays 😮‍💨. Hoping to get that out while I have time between now and New Years! Just a little test run and explaining my build then I’ll do an upgrade video like I did for the revo 😉 Merry Christmas though buddy, hope to hear from you again!

What tires you using on 8s? I know the gears on the revo outclass basically everything that isn’t a 1/6th scale or bigger but I’d be worried about the weight of my tires chewin up my driveline! 🤣😅 you do any other drive train upgrades for durability?

@@V8chump I'm using the standard talions at the moment but I do have some Proline belted trenchers but they are huge. I'm toying with some Proline belted badlands as they are similar size to the talions. I've ugraded the centre driveshaft yo the Traxxas steel one and I'm running 20/46 gearing but that's itfor mods. I hear a lot of ghys moaning that the Erevo breaks stuff all the time but my erevo is pushing 12hp and it takes it really well. As you say, the diffs and gears in it are top notch.

@@coffeedude2024 yea 90% of the big UA-cam channels wrote it off forever ago because of the original pushrods and the rear end exploding which was fixed with chassis brace and straps so nowadays I tend to see guys having awesome luck with their revos unless they have no idea what they’re doing (or just pushing it to the limit 😈), throwing crazy heavy tires on for bashing or adding aluminum in all the wrong areas

@@V8chump yeah totally. The erevo 2.0 got me back into the hobby after 20 years out and I love the thing. I just love the way the erevo looks and drives and it is very fast but is also a solid basher. I cant comment or compare to the Arrma stuff as I haven't had ome(yet) but I will always love the erevo 2.0 as it is just an awesome RC. Only critisicm is you are limited by what batteries you can use due to the small battery compartments but that's it. Erevo 3.0 anyone?😜

@@coffeedude2024 yea that’s definitely a downside but maybe on the 3.0 they’ll fix it 😉. I loves me some arrma too, I know Kratons take quite a bit of modding to make a good basher but their 3s cars are definitely the go to for arrmas. My arrma granite has been launched off cliffs and a 3 story roof never an issue. However I blew the shit out of the transmission when I put 3s through it and tried to land some backflips 🤷🏼‍♂️ that said it feels much more premium than a slash. Traxxas makes (imo) the best 4s and 6s RCs, arrma makes the best 3s and brushed RCs, and then there’s a ton of great 8s’ but I’ve never tried one 😢

Thanks buddy! 😁 winter put a damper on my bashing but I should be able to record a couple scx24 videos real soon, upgrades and running footage 😉

Yea I agree for the amount of money I put into the revo (very very little outside of electronics) it’s been an absolute monster. I know it’s pushrods used to be a joke when it first came out and that’s the reputation it got from the Kevin Talbots of UA-cam… kinda sucks more people don’t give it a chance so we could have more creative builds in the community

Such an awesome rc, pick up the rear brace and straps for ~$25 and you shouldn’t have any durability issues! (Unless you have an accident 🥲😂) Motor fans are also really nice because it runs hot stock, no heat issues on 20/46 in any terrain with fans 👌🏾 Try not to overuse TSM on grass or hard terrain to preserve stock servos and I really really caution you on self righting. The weight of the tires means it can do some DAMAGE to the gears going from full throttle to full reverse…. Blew a diff, motor, and spur first day I got mine but got it replaced. Haven’t used self right since and haven’t had any gear related issues since! Not even a plastic spur after all the failed doubles and triples 😎
