Cheap grade maybe but NOT toy grade,that thing is definitely hobby grade IMO . Looks like it rips,great value for money and you guys were having fun and that's all that really matters. A great hobby for father and son and after watching you guys bond over rc I went and got my boy his first car. He's a bit young to really get into it,the wrenching etc as he's only 7,but he loves driving ( only slowly a cheap wltoys) but if I can bond with him over rc like you guys do then I'll be very happy,it's a great hobby and after losing a few people recently it's made me realise how short life can be and family is the most important thing and going out every weekend just having fun with our cars and kids is important cause in the blink of an eye he'll be going out with his kids as time whizzes by so it's important to make the most of the time we have. Anyway great video and best of luck with the channel mate,oh and I must say after watching several of your videos that your Callum is a great driver
Thank you for your very nice comment, means a huge amount that we have helped inspire you to get an RC for your boy and are now bonding more. Love Sundays when i get to go out and do some bonding, but as you say life goes by so quickly, Jack is now out chasing girls most Sundays and i do miss him coming out. Enjoy your time with your boy as timer really does fly by.
Our servo died as well, just put one of these in it: www.banggood.com/custlink/KGmEociUy6 use this servo in all our bashers, whilst it might sound cheap they are actually very good
@@none-qq9lg Dont think the DR8 really needs the 35kg one, and to be honest i did buy 4 of the 35kg ones and they all died very quick, but these 25kg ones we have in all our basher and abuse the hell out of them and only ever killed 2 in 2 years
Run time is dependant on so many factors, temperature, how hard you are driving, surface you are driving on etc, Run this car on 5,000mAh packs that with hard constant bashing on loose dirt surface will late max 15 minutes. Stop start, or lighter slower bashing then 20 - 25 minutes
Pretty much the same way as all RC's cars, probably easier to watch this where i do set the mesh on the Krajave using a piece of paper: ua-cam.com/video/PCqv9Cs_Rr4/v-deo.html

@@HardcoreRC drilled the head out which came off but the thread is stuck in the blue motor mount not budging.

Spares are actually ok, had a slighgt issue with the rear chassis brace mount were it just didn't exists, but that has now been fixed and is available, in addition custom RC Upgrades is releasing some quality upgraded parts in May. Not sure if you can fit different shells as have not tried as like the stock shell
This looks like the wltoys 1/12 thing, it's like 100 us dollars right now on banggood, cheap and upgradable. I have the wltoys 144001 model and it's a beast for what it is. I pop out the dog bones couple times but just pop back and good to go so far.
Its a FTX, looks a bit like the Wltoys 124018, we have one of those as well and they are great budge cars, love our one, but that is 1/12th scale and this is bigger at 1/8th scale

@@charlieclaridge8317 20/50 is perfect for the Xmaxx, its what we and most people i know use. Hope you got the GDS gears though or at least better ones than Traxxas ones

Nice, do like the upgrades the v2 comes with, our shocks are all in stock position and stock oil, only think i have changed is the centre diff and went with 400k CST. did take the tiee off the back as well to remove that added weight
Another great video guys👌👌👌 quick question as you know new to rc worlds big rock is coming along lovley now but previous owner changed battery connectors to xt60 for some reason what would you recommend changing them to xt90 or the ec5 etc ? Thanks
Great vid as always. DR8 rocks. I was wondering how some Talion EXB dboots (belted) would perform on it. What do you reckon? Also Dave let me know where you find the rear chassis brace holder you broke. I struggled to find that part for sale👍🏻

Hopefully have the rear brace part coming in from Germany, it appears to be part of the chassis braces on the Reely Raptor, parts should have arrived yesterday but good old UPS let me down again, they have to be the worlds worst courier.

I asked another DR8 owner that question in relation to the front & rear diffs after hearing that the instruction manual doesn't specify it. He replied, "50-60k front 20-30k rear.. both those work well for me". 300K in the centre diff seems to be the general consensus for those wanting a balanced setup. Users with a preference for straight line speed at the expense of cornering ability and stability are seemingly opting for 500K.
@@sambagogo777 A lot of people just think putting the highest possible oil in is the solution, seems to be emanating from Facebook groups, these people seem to have little understanding of what effect the different weights do 😂😂 but 50k front and 30k rear will be a nice set up over stock, its also what i tend to use in my other rigs like the Kraton
@@HardcoreRC It's a similar story on the internet for actual cars whereby bigger numbers are 'better'. If I'm going for a blast down country lanes and B-roads then give me a Lotus Elise, Caterham Seven, Mazda MX-5 or Honda S2000 every time over a Bugatti Chiron.

Ya I’ve got my eye on the DR8, since Losi doesn’t make the Rock Rey any more. I wish distribution here in the US was such that we could get it without astronomical shipping. But I suppose that’s what Europeans are used to when getting Traxxas stuff.
Yeah its very strange how its so much in the USA, but as you say Traxxas and Arrma are stupid high in the UK, this car is also sold at Reely Raptor 6s and the FS Racing Atom 6s so may be you can get those models in the USA ?
Great vid Dave, that DR8 certainly took some punishment, does have similarities to the LOSI super rock Rey, minus the price and make, very impressed with it. Hope your keeping well

Us Brits do say some really stupid stuff, especially me 😂😂 glad you enjoyed and yep its a great value car in the UK, sadly as i understand it ,not such great value in the USA 😥
Toy grade is a bit of a running joke, mainly because its a lot cheaper than other 6s car, plus its made by the same factory that makes Arrma cars, yes they are very good cars
To us as well, its just the name FTX is considered a budge brand, but this RC is super tough and super good, in the UK almost half the price of a Arrma as well
The Xmaxx will be back out, it actually comes out every week, just we dont film it 😂 havent had to change our servo yet as still on the stock one, although already have the part to put a standard servo in and when it goes will likely just use a DS3525 servo or a JX 35kg one
@@HardcoreRC ahh blah, i had 2 TC & they both kept breaking ..sold them both on eBay for cheap. Maybe the new owner will have better luck. 🤣for the price of them, they should have held up better, i didn’t beat the shit out of them either, little bashing and track use. Good riddance👍🏼💯
I wouldn't say a knock off, similar as in same style yes like the Tenacity and Lasernut , same as a Kraton is like a ET48 which is like a Sledge and like a Kronos etc, but the actual layout inside is different. Plus the DB8 is discontinued
@@HardcoreRC identical arms upper and lower identical, chassis lay out pretty much the same unit , db8 was and still is the toughest kit I’ve ever owned , been bashing it since new , still on stock diffs broken one rear hub and one front arm .
I’m not sure why people are always surprised at how durable that sort of buggy type lay out is , buggy’s have always been notoriously tough , look at all the trucks with that same ish chassis design there all tanks .

Great bash! Looks like a good value!
Us Brits do say some really stupid stuff, especially me 😂😂 glad you enjoyed and yep its a great value car in the UK, sadly as i understand it ,not such great value in the USA 😥
awesome video
Thanks 👍👍
There’s no way that’s toy grade. Seems decent for the price
Toy grade is a bit of a running joke, mainly because its a lot cheaper than other 6s car, plus its made by the same factory that makes Arrma cars, yes they are very good cars
@@HardcoreRC oooooh I see. ☺️
It seems professional grade to me... Not crap grade
To us as well, its just the name FTX is considered a budge brand, but this RC is super tough and super good, in the UK almost half the price of a Arrma as well
Can we please see more xmaxx content and servo upgrade for it as mine stock servo has died
The Xmaxx will be back out, it actually comes out every week, just we dont film it 😂 havent had to change our servo yet as still on the stock one, although already have the part to put a standard servo in and when it goes will likely just use a DS3525 servo or a JX 35kg one
Cheap. It's like 670 usd to get it to my door. Sucks I've wanted to try one
Yeah its strange why its so much in the USA, for us its only £340 which is less than we have to pay for a 3s Arrma
Amazing truck for the money , really took a pasting
Its a cracking little truck, value for money is outstanding and makes you wonder why Arrma cost twice as much - exact same ESC as well
Always have me Laughing!! Winky-Wonky!!! Im Still Laughing! 😂😂😂
They just come out my mouth, really don't know why 😂😂
Wicked video 👍
Thanks 👍
Ohhhh yea & you forgot to add to the title of this video……
🍌It’s also better then any Team Corally🍌 😂 🤣 😜!!!
LOL< the Kronos actually took a real beating last weekend
@@HardcoreRC ahh blah, i had 2 TC & they both kept breaking ..sold them both on eBay for cheap. Maybe the new owner will have better luck. 🤣for the price of them, they should have held up better, i didn’t beat the shit out of them either, little bashing and track use. Good riddance👍🏼💯
@@vitodambra72 Yep they certainly need to be using better materials in them, think that is what lets them down the most
500 dollars is dirt cheap? I'm I missing something? 😕
For us in the UK this is only £320 vs £599+ for a similar rigs from other major brands, so yes its dirt cheap for a 6s 1/8th scale RC that does 60mph
@@HardcoreRC yep it would be a great deal at 320 usd.
Word i wonder why such a difference probably the shipping to profit margin
I was just about to comment the same thing. Well over $500 USD to get one here in the states. Looks like a cool rig though.
@@paulclancy2404 Its strange as seems to the the total revers to the major brands that are so much more expensive in the UK
Bish-Bosh-Bash!!! 🤣😂😅
When ever im editing a video and here me saying thinks like this i think of you laughing 😂
Send it and mend it David lol 😉👊
Indeed, and it took it all very well indeed
@@HardcoreRC it looks like it can take a beating and then some lol
@@BIGALSCRAWLERS Certainly takes as much of a beating as cars twice its price
Looks stronger than the Kronos xtr 😂
That was my argument to the TM fanboys when the XTR broke so easy doing those two jumps
Not here in the 🇺🇸. Its only little cheaper than arrma
£320 here which works out around $420 for you guys, i love mine
That's a shame and really don't know why they are so much in the USA
Yes for a change we are the lucky ones to get at a low price
Knock off clown of the team associated db8
I wouldn't say a knock off, similar as in same style yes like the Tenacity and Lasernut , same as a Kraton is like a ET48 which is like a Sledge and like a Kronos etc, but the actual layout inside is different. Plus the DB8 is discontinued
@@HardcoreRC identical arms upper and lower identical, chassis lay out pretty much the same unit , db8 was and still is the toughest kit I’ve ever owned , been bashing it since new , still on stock diffs broken one rear hub and one front arm .
I’m not sure why people are always surprised at how durable that sort of buggy type lay out is , buggy’s have always been notoriously tough , look at all the trucks with that same ish chassis design there all tanks .
@@greatwhitenorthrc509 Shame they stopped making the DR8 as it does look like a very nice peice of kit
@@greatwhitenorthrc509 Dont think its that we are surprised how durable to desgin is, more how good and durable it is for the price, which in the UK is almost half what an Arrma rig would cost
Hell yeh!! Cool as always! Love your channel! You wellcome to my channel.. finally started to upload every week! Thanks🔥😎🙏🏻
Thanks, i will have a look 👍👍
