- Holy shaft bender Batman!!! Totally impressed with this EXB full option roller. ARRMA nailed it with this wonderful offering. Perfect starting point for a Killer hardcore basher. Throw in a decent system and let it rip. Loaded with innovation, this rig has exceeded my expectations for performance, durability, and handling. Simply a pleasure to bash. Huge props to ARRMA, M2C Racing, and Fast Track Hobbies in Rocklin, CA.
The big question is, why hasn't Arrma hired you as tester in their company. Mad driving skills bro!
Thanks so much Brother 🤗!!!! I can say they seek out direct feedback 👍. They really want to give guys the best rigs possible. Obviously they have a budget like everyone. Hats off to them for constantly improving and being so open to suggestions. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊
Rich Duperbash what are your current mods? I just picked up my exb. And i still have a good bit of m2c parts i never put on my v4 kraton yet that i’ll most likely use on the exb. Have a Mamba Monster x 8s and 1717 coming Thursday. Thinking that should be plenty/fun with a 20-23t pinion
@@annadarby7224 your EXB is gonna move nicely 😱. I haven't done much besides what I shared in the intro. I did also add M2C M4 shock standoffs 💪 and replaced the rear shock rod ends with ARRMA HD Nero ones plus 6.8mm steel pivot balls. You can't go wrong putting any M2C upgrades on the EXB 😍. The M2C Kraton shock towers would change the shock angle to more upright though. 😎💪👊👊
Rich Duperbash I currently have the m2c shock standoffs, shock cap/piston and oring kit, front and rear chassis brace(but the exb braces look just as good), Pillar ball retainer nut kit for now. The front and rear hinge kits were out of stock. But ill have to grab the shock towers for now. And some steel pivot balls
Thanks for the advice.
@@annadarby7224 you bet 👊. Those are fantastic upgrades 😍. I would go ahead and drop in the M2C chassis braces. The stocks aren't bad, but they aren't 7075 T6 and don't have a flat spot to anchor a M4 nut on the top with a longer bolt. I'm not splitting hairs here, but that's the ideal beefcake setup. That's how I would've designed the EXB brace. 🍻
This is a perfect controlled crazy bash!
That landing at 3:03 oof😳 to not be going home after that is amazing. Arrma tough baby!
No doubt John 👀. I was shocked the arms, links, and hubs took that 😱🤣🤣. I discovered my solder job was crap on the positive ESC lead 😝. Atleast 50-60% of the wire had frayed and pulled off the connector. I retinned the lead and attached a new bullet. Mid-air power cuts are the worst 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 hey, that thing drives like a beast, wich pinion, motor, esc do you have in it?
I would hate to die and come back as one of your shocks. That was a "super" Duperbash, lol!!! Thanks for sharing bro.
LMAO 🤣!!!! Much appreciated Brother 🍻. Happy bashing as always. 🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Rather shock than the chassis
I am going to become an addict watching the video over and over again!
Until the next one :)
U are awsome Rich since I been in this hobby I have learned alot from u thanks brother 👊🏁🏁
Thanks so much Kizzel 🤗!!!! This hobby is constant learning 🥰🥰. Really appreciate it Brother. 🙏🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
I absolutely appreciate your videos. Awesome driving skills paired with very helpful tips makes you one of the best rc-youtubers.
A rc-beginner sends you best regards from Croatia!
Take care, man!
Thanks so much Brother 🤗!!!! Truly appreciate the kind words. Happy bashing. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Love the “smoke trail” at 5 mins 40!
yea same, but you can actually just say 5:40 and people reading the comment can click it and it takes them to that point in the video
Your the most heavy duty basher I have every seen I mean that for real your like balls to the wall hard on your stuff I thought I was bad on. My trucks you put me to shame holy cow batman
Thanks so much Jack 🤗!!!! I've tried to put a solid test on this rig, but found myself going borderline overboard the first 2-3 runs 😱. Not trying to break it, but have some wild fun either way 😍. Really appreciate the kind words Brother. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Those slow motion shots of the exb flying across the sun are awesome. Also taking the infraction to the skate park was epic !!! Never seen anyone do anything like that. Ballsy play Kid !!!
Thanks so much Brother 🤗!!!! Been missing rippin the Infraction around. Hopefully get her back out soon. Just not sure it'll be at the skatepark 😱🤣🤣😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 not sure if you will see or respond to this being 2 years late, but im planning on a kraton exb build, and wondering what servo you used?
@@zusidtechgamingandrc I use a Power HD 23kg WP. It's a durable budget servo with great specs. Run it in most of my 6s rigs. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 thanks !
@@richduperbash2966 do you run into any durability issues with it?
Another great one brother Rich. Those huge dirt mound transfers were just butter smooth, but that triple front.... Ya gotta be kidding me🥵😨🚀🚀🎯🙌
Great bash full of multiple spots chock full of insane driving brother.
She was quite lively out there.
That EXB was taking a hell Of a bash.
Great stuff Rich
Rock on and stay safe brother 🙌
That heat tho🥵🥵🥵
Of all your videos, this might be my favorite. Those hyper speed flat land shots were awesome, and your driving skills are turned up to eleven.
Thanks so much Mark 🤗!!!! The high speed rips are my favorite 😍. Doing jumps is fun, but the raw speed gets me fired up every time 🥰🥰. Still can't believe how fast these rigs are 👀🍻😎💪👊👊
For 3mm, for it to hold up as well as it did even without the t-t brace for 2 runs is impressive. I'm definitely hoping they start releasing rollers for their other 6s vehicles as well. I'm not a heavy basher, but having the extra insurance would be fantastic.
I totally agree Brother 👊!!!! Doing huge sends with no T to T put serious stress on the 3mm chassis 😱. This EXB definitely gives extra assurance by design 😍. Wether you bash Crazy hard or not, it's a great option for sure. Handles and performs awesome.🍻😎💪👊👊
I used to go to Fast Track, but I caught the owner on a bad day, and he convinced me to try out Horizon:)
3:00 wow that looks like it hurt! you just convinced me to buy one of these :) thanks again duperbash making my pockets empty out here! Man, I can't wait! Great video as always commented a year late but was looking into one and came to this video again always trust you with what RC to buy keep up the great work! :)
Thanks so much Brother 😜. My bash buddy John just got his wife a Kraton 😍. He already has an EXB K6s, but he's that convinced with the platform for all around bashing. Tons of aftermarket support and Fantastic performance. Every basher should have one!!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊
I built my exb just like yours after watching your videos. The thing is a monster!! Thanks for the insane videos you put out!!!
That's AWESOME my friend 😱!!!! Appreciate the kind words. Happy bashing Brother 🍻😎💪👊👊
So the EXB is a real beast. The fact that you can just make it totally your own is amazing. A little to out there for my skill level. I am learning with my 4S Kraton and with the really hot, dry Summer we've had here in Iowa it's been really great for bashing. WE also have some building sites right now so there are some really great places to bend and break. No seems to mind, Maybe with my white beard no one wants to upset Santa, LOL. WE aren't gonna argue with them. These places will vanish and we'll be back by the River soon enough. This was great, amazing to see how this is evolving with you.
Thanks so much Harry 🤗!!!! Building sites are some of my favorites 😍🥰🥰. You know it's temporary, but can enjoy and seize the moment 👍. The Kraton 4s is no slouch 👀. Hoping to get mine back out soon. Props to ARRMA for this new EXB 👊. Definitely a great starting point for the ultimate 1/8 basher. 🍻😎💪👊👊
This is the best bash I've ever seen..... dude youre bananas. Now this is how you drive!
So sick, rich. You have the coolest spots. You and happy happy joy joy are such a treat to watch when you showcase your skills. Same with commander astig and bicketybam.
Awesome bash as always! 👍 I use the adjustable HR Servo Saver witch never failed at my rigs. Some incredible savings, especially after the front flips 😮 You really got some serious air and over all it looks like my bashing in fast forward 😘
Thanks so much dear Kimberly 😍!!!! I was looking at at those HR Servo savers 👀. If you like them, I know I would too 🤗🥰🥰. Had some crazy saves this run no doubt 🤣. More ramp shavers than I could count. Hopefully get the steering 100% dialed again next time. Really appreciate the tip and the kind words. Your advice is gold my Basherqueen 🥰🥰😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 I do the build video in the next days for my Strato 8S . Stay tuned, it will have some nice parts. 😘
@@Basherqueen I most certainly look forward to it 😘
The Kraton 6s is so awesome it might be my favorite out of my fleet of 5 RCs 🤣😂 I love this video Happy belated Holidays to you Rich!
Thanks so much Brother 😜. The Kraton 6s is a must have in my opinion. Just a wicked all-around basher. 🍻😎💪👊👊
You are the king of the air good job
Thanks Ronnie 🤗. Much appreciated Brother 🍻😎💪👊👊
Awesome bashing as always!!
Thanks so much Josh 🤗. This rig is a Blast. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 the kraton in general is a very solid rig! I love my V4 6s.
Kraton EXB Roller for $328 for the next 2 days! Everyone go buy one! I couldn't help myself I had to buy two! :D Very excited to experience the Kraton!
I got the shock standoff and the shock caps and now I just ordered the rear hinge pin kit from M2C they have top quality stuff I appreciate your videos thanks man
You bet Brother 🤗. Mitch's parts make such an amazing difference for durability and performance 👀. Nothing is indestructible, but M2C parts are about as good as it gets for worry free bashing. 😎💪👊👊
Always enjoy seeing your skills in action Rich.
If someone doesn't understand the phrase "Drive it like you stole it!" Show them this video. I would never guess the Kraton could take that hard of an ass whooping, and keep going. Kudos Arrma, and kudos on the driving brother!
Thanks so much Mick 🤗!!!! I'm super impressed with this rig overall.🍻😎💪👊👊
That's what I call extreme bashing. Awsone bash bro. Best basher on UA-cam for sure.
Thanks so much Sam 🤗!!!! Happy bashing Brother 🍻😎💪👊👊
This is awesome, I have a hobbystar 4092 1730 kv motor that I want to put in mine but it is so loud! I know you mentioned that it is loud in another video but sheesh, I almost don't like to drive it near me. I've hardly even run it, maybe a few hours of runtime. Loves the vids btw. You are the king of bash!
4:14 Kraton eclipse!! 😎😎😎 Another awesome run as always 🤘🤘
Thanks Brother 🤗!!!! This rig is legit. Just a pleasure to run 🍻😎💪👊👊
Beautiful bash brother, always pushing the limits.. awesome. I picked up a ebx to play around with.
Another rad bash session Rich🤘 Those front flips and saves were epic 🤯 So jealous on your locations such a great place to open her up! Big respect 🙌 king basher Rich!
Thanks so much Brother 😜!!!! I'm shocked how agile this EXB feels 👀. I'm sure the big power setup helps, but she feels super balanced and handles Killer. Really appreciate it my friend. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 I'm seriously considering getting this EXB now
EADT should be the headline EXTREME AIRBORNE DURABILITY TESTING.
AWESOME video and skills
Thanks Brother 😜!!!! This EXB has taken it quite well 👀. Been a pleasure to bash 🍻😎💪👊👊
Damn you never fail to impress the crowd. That's amazing man, and who knows, I might actually buy a kraton because of you. Bash on Brother 🤙
Thanks Valdemar 🤗. The EXB is a Blast 🥰🥰. Huge step up for ARRMA from the standard 6s. The LSD diffs have performed great 👌. This is a great option/platform to build a Killer basher. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Spectacular once again! If you ever travel to FL, let me know, I need to experience your driving skills in person!
Thanks Brother 🤗!!!! You bet on FL. Hoping to get back to Universal Studios Orlando once we have a handle on the pandemic 😝. Travel fun has gone out the window. Absolutely LOVE the vibe in Florida 😍. Such a great place with wonderful people. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Yes, the sunshine is addicting! Keep up the awesome videos! 👍💪👊
Definitely put it to a extrem bash test bro and it took it well Arrma did it again 💪💪💪💪💪👊👊 awesome bash Rich 💯
Thanks so much Dhon 😜!!!! Had a great time rippin around 😍. She's taken a serious beating the past several weeks and done fantastic 👌👌😎💪👊👊
Love to see a bash session on the new TLR tuned Typhon!lol as always awesome skills man!
Awesome rip with the EXB 👍👍👊🏻👊🏻😱😱. Bottom line if you are doing big air some additional changes are required. Bash on 😎😎
Some awesome jumps over that big mound 😱 Liked how you nailed all those sideways landers 💪 Ah the dreaded wing mount snap. I go through streaks if breaking them every run then I get some that last a long time, lol!
I wonder how many people you've helped out with your Awesome info on what you do with your Rc's 🤔😊 4:15 Nice Sun Shot 🌞 your Control is Sublime Rich, wish i could be like you bro 😁 that snap is nothing for what you put that Beast through 😱really enjoyed every minute of this Video as Always, 👍🇬🇧😍🇺🇲👍 have a great week 👍
Thanks so much Tony 🤗!!!! I hope I've helped people with tips and ideas. That's the great part of our hobby being able to share and help each other 😉. Appreciate the kind words as always Brother 🍻😎💪👊👊
Freaking hella bash brother Rich. EXB was on fire 🔥🤘! Some insane Jumps and flips!😲😱. One jump created an eclipse completely blocked out the sun for a second! LOL 😂🤣. Midair cutout was brutal, tacos the shaft. I had my share of those for sure. You had her tuned just right Bro. She seems super dialed in. Props to Arrma for this awesome option. It's the way to go for anyone in the market for a Kraton. Not quite M2C Tank level but close for sure. Arrma totally cement the Kraton as the king of the Hil basher out there. Stay safe and bash on brother.
Thanks so much Brother Chris 😜!!!! Had some crazy off axis sends with this one 🤣🤣. Seemed to keep catching the sun wherever I set the ramps up 👀. Loving this EXB big-time Bro😍. Took a pack or 2 to adjust to the diffs and finally feeling dialed with the ESC updated 👌. Feels like a Max6 now. While not full M2C beefcake, this is definitely a Killer rig to push to the limit 😱. So much innovation and great handling. I could go on, but simply a pleasure to bash 🥰🥰. HUGE props to ARRMA for raising the bar here. This rig hauls complete ass and gives you confidence to just go for it. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Nice bash my brother 👊 truck is a ripper for sure 😎 keep them videos coming 💪
Thanks so much my Brother 🤗!!!! Big airs are fun, but rippin hard is where it's at 😍👍👍😎💪👊👊
What a badass vid brother Rich!!💪Mega sends and wild flips from all angles!😂That wicked double or triple frontie save was crazy!!😱Love the slo mo elipse of the sun shot!! This rig is just a tank and even better once a few personal adjustments are made! I'm loving mine and can't wait to get it out again!😍 Got a coupe new parts and a body on the way..Mine it totally trashed!😂😂Love the sunset dirt roosts at the end! What a way to end a day! Great vid bro and take it easy!😎👊🚀🚀💪🍻
Thanks so much Brother Eric 😜!!!! We both know no rig is unbreakable, but I'm very impressed with this even compared to our custom builds 👀. Definitely benefits from a few tweaks and add on's, but that's where the fun is 🥰🥰. ARRMA took a huge step forward with the EXB 👊. Can't wait to see what else lies ahead. Had a Blast getting squirrely off the plastic ramps 😱🤣🤣. Just got the man-van fixed so the bigger ramp is back in the mix 😂. I can say wholeheartedly that the sunset rips were the most fun I've had in awhile 😍. This sucker hauls ass with this setup. Hope all is well with the family Bro 🤗🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
I really dug your "Shooting the Sun" shot!
Thanks Brother 🤗!!!! Wasn't planning on it, but it turned out pretty cool 👀. Glad I had my dark shades on 🍻😎💪👊👊
Totally awesome bash. How is it possible that you and Eric continue to put out videos better than the last? Lol. For the abuse taken it’s a pretty impressive truck. Thanks for torture testing it for us all! Very epic slo mo @ 4:18. And @ 4:30 was that a triple front flip? Great shots and fly bys as always! Extreme bashing at its finest! Cheers!
Rad session Rich ! I really enjoyed the gnarly air action and saves , great locations .
A diff. vid on that rig would be killer , i think it would provide great insight . I already have my EXB
, i just finished gorilla taping the body . Stay safe ....
Thanks so much Brother 😊!!!! I've worked with the diffs enough to share some good tips and insights 🤗. Don't really need heavy fluids with the LSD set-up, but getting the slip plates aligned is key during maintenance. Hopefully post something up soon. 😎💪👊👊
Hi Rich, talk about mad hair..... that’s some mad air you get with that Aarma man......Aarma tough baby lol 😂
Loved the shots of you going to the sun ☀️ man, the slomo going through the sun was awesome. 😎👍👍🇬🇧💥💥💥
Nice bashing and jumps 👍🏾🔥💯
The more I am watching Rich Duperbash videos, the more I think he should try RC planes to stay longer in the air and get different landing challenges :-)
Maybe try to place wings on a car ?
Superb as always rich really enjoyed this think I may need add exb to the collection 👍💯
Thanks so much Brother 🤗!!!! The EXB has become addicting 😱. Definitely impressed with it. ARRMA is simply on fire. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 yeah arrma just owning it just now nobody can deny it 👍💯
Air it out Rich !!! Awesome vid as always.
Thanks Brother 🤗!!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊
Thanks Rich always awesome! I think the fcc may want you to get a licence
Thanks so much Avery 🤗!!!! Good thing the CHP station guys next door dig what we do 🤣. Excited to see what lies ahead with M2C 😍. You're Dad is a great guy and truly an inspiration. The pride and passion is obvious in his work. Really appreciate it Brother 🍻😎💪👊👊
You gotta talk Arrma into a Typhon EXB. They’ll listen to the King of Bash! 🦾🤙
Thanks Matthew 🤗. Agreed 100%. I also highly recommended a Typhon 8s 😱🥰🥰. We'll see what's next, but the prospects are looking promising with ARRMA 🍻😎💪👊👊
I can’t wait for my motor n esc to get here!! Crazy air man!
AIR IT OUT RICH! Great driving
Thanks so much Chris 😜🍻😎💪👊👊
There is no way anyone can top this....
Rich .... you are out of this world, how you get these RC's to do what you do. The EXB is what the Kraton 6s needed.
Hate to say it...It's close....
After watching your driving... thinking a solid dose of driving talent would help with the EXB's Option list.. lol.
Ummm now that would be a solid option there!! +12 :) for me lol...
(Not really a smiley.. it's a crying +12... rocking back and forth.. in the corner of my bathroom,,,.... wishing it gets better.....!) hehehehe
Huge cheers for the vid mate... Hope you're keeping safe.
Massive cheers from Syd/Aus
Thanks so much Steve 😜!!!! Such kind words my Brother 🤗. I know full well the cost and shipping hassles you guys endure as basher's in Australia 👀. Huge respect and hats off for that alone my friend 👊. Keeping safe and staying positive here Bro. Really appreciate it my friend!!!! 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
That's an Awesome bash video. I've see others with vids with this truck blowing out rear diffs but he putting in a castle 8s system it . I don't think it needs that much power going buy this vid,6s is plenty of power going by what I just seen in this vid! Great video!
Thanks so much Jon 🤗!!!! These 1/8 rigs absolutely rip on 6s 👀. There's really no need for anything beyond that with the right setup. Just adds undue weight and strain. The gears on most every 1/8 are simply too small for complete overkill systems. For road use with smaller speed tires.....that's different. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Great bash brother, well done
Thanks so much James 🤗!!!! Really appreciate it Brother 🍻😎💪👊👊
Arrma should come out with a 1/5 Kraton EXB roller !
Don’t they already have one?
Awesome job! Speechless
Thanks Brother 🤗!!!! 👍👍😎💪👊👊
That was a ruff landing shocked it was only a drive shaft
Sick air that things insane getting ready to build mine bash on brotha💀💀👹👹💥💥AHS
And I'm still jealous of your bashing spots lmao. Cant find any good ones in my area lol. And whenever I'm having a bad day, I just pull up your videos for a good laugh. Miss my wife and these make my days better lol. Thanks Brother!
Thanks so much Brother 😊. Finding good spots can be extremely difficult and luck plays a role. I've seen several great spots get flattened for development 😝. I drive out of my area if it's worth it, but that's dicey at times. I'd love to build a spot on private land. Sharing spots with BMXers often leads to conflict. Really appreciate your kind words Brother 🙏. Happy bashing. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Totally agree with this, I've been kicked out of bmx tracks around here. It's their spot so i get it. Private track is my dream! Bash on
Looks like Richards Blvd in Sacramento. That thing is crazy fast, I have the 4s and I cannot believe the beating it takes and still runs. Good job Arrma!
Hay Rich hope your having a great day! I have my 6s exb together. Just wondering what you think about adding shims to the diffs out of the box? Anything you suggest doing before really ripping? Thanks again bro, hope the heat is better out there!
Hey Jeremy 🤗. Missed your message 👀. Provided your EXB isn't an original release from a year ago, the diffs should be good. Some from the first couple batches had rear diff issues with improper shims. I do recommend adding additional crown gear side bearings front and rear though. I generally use 2-3 Tekno tkr1222 shims both ends. 🍻😎💪👊👊
I'd love to see a more detailed video about the bolts you added to the braces and why thats needed.
It's likely not needed for many 🤔. For guys that enjoy sending it, I just recommend running longer bolts up through the braces and capping them with M4 locknuts. This puts some counter pressure on the brace and bolt helping it keep it's form better and, more importantly, leaves something to grab onto (for removal) incase the bolt snaps off inside the brace. 😎💪👊👊
Hardcore bro
Rich, right at the end.. You said: the EXB wingmount is a lot thicker.. You sure? Im still waiting on the truck to arrive.. So cant compare.. But the manual states: AR320347 wich is just the HD wingmount..
The EXB wingmount is definitely beefier from where it bolts to the tower alll the way back. The plastic is thicker with a different mold. Mine snapped behind the rear chassis brace attachment. Mind you my rear chassis brace bolt had previously sheered off 😱. That tells me that part of the wingmount had already been heavily stressed. 😎💪👊👊
Land rocket?? More like The Tasmania devil of RC cars brother! 🤣 that rig rips thru any terrain like nothing 👊🏼 And all that crazy freestyle aerial assault flips you pulled were insane 👀🔥🙌🏻🤙🏼🤟🏽 I cant wait to get this rig or the OC8s then we’ll definitely have to link up 😎
Thanks so much Brother Dave 😜!!!! I'm loving this setup more and more each outing 😍. Haven't been able to get out as much lately, but have bashed her enough to be seriously impressed 👀. Can't wait to hook up again Bro. Lots of family stuff going on, but after work runs are there. Waiting for the O8S to hit Fast Track 👀. Hit me up when you're free🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Love your videos!!!!
Expert bashing 😎🇺🇸

Unreal brilliant content m8
Perfect bashing! Do you run the 50/200/20 oil with the LSD diff, or did you rebuild it with the Arrma shim set? If you run the LSD diff, with max or min effect set up? Many thanks!
EPIC 👌 💪 👊 Respect for your honesty Rich, letting us know exactly how the truck has held up 💯
Thanks Jason 🤗!!!! The truck has done fantastic overall 👍. Obviously guys have to clean and maintain and take some mechanical ownership, but this rig is designed to take much harder use than the standard 6s no question. 🍻😎💪👊👊
I'm always watching. Where is this place?
This is a rough part of Sacramento, CA. 7st and Richards Blvd. There's some broken glass and construction wire, but we've tried to clean it up a bit. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Nice place. I live in Dallas, Texas. It's so hot these days that RC cars are having a hard time. I'm always watching great videos. I started to like jumping after watching your video. . Thank you.
hey rich...can u make a video on tips on how to bash like that?...tips on diff shock set ups and some general tips about rc? thank u
Hey Vince 🤗. I've done several vids on setup 👍. Best advice on bashing I can give is go at your own pace. Breakages are part of learning, but get your rig dialed how you like and practice driving. The better you learn your rigs and trust them, the better connected you'll feel when bashing. You have to experiment and don't be afraid to try different things with your tuning and driving. Highly recommend driving different size rigs regularly. Challenge yourself as you build up your skills and confidence. There's no substitute for hands on experience. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 thanks so much rich....i learned alot from your videos..i watched them all the time during this pandemic lol....keep up the good videos and more power to you 👍🏻👌💪🏻
@@richduperbash2966 you think bumping the break and reverse on the settings and also the punch settings help to control the car in the air for front and backflips? what is your preferred settings in there? thanks
@@vincevirina425 I always run max punch and adjust the brake if needed. I don't like my brake too harsh. Just enough to stop safely in a pinch. Usually dictated by motor size and gearing. 🍻
@@richduperbash2966 oh ok...thank u...i put my punch to 7 only so that i still have room for more power
Would you recommend EXB or Tekno ET48 2.0… both will be M2C out either way I go.! Thanks, happy bashing!
I would recommend the EXB 6s personally. Yes the ET48 is silky smooth, but it's a race kit designed for fast track laps. For hardcore bashing, I'd rather have an M2C built EXB. 🍻
If you don’t mind, I would like to use a few seconds of footage from your Kraton EXB vids to add to a video I am posting on my channel for Horizon support to try and show what the truck is capable of? As mine broke just driving in a straight line where as yours is flying and bashing like a beast straight out of the box! Kindly confirm if that’s ok please?
Hey rich have you had any problems with the front diff on the EXB ? I'm 3 batteries in to mine and it's eating up the front diff . I've not bashed the truck yet just driven it around on the grass in my friend yard in the street. The spline gear is a mess
No I haven't James 🤔. I did ultimately add 2-3 Tekno tkr1222 bearing shims to the crown gear side bearing to tighten the mesh between the the crown and input gears both front and rear. Been doing this for years with all my 6s rigs. No issues with internal gears either. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 . Ok I'm going to try that . Arrma did call me back yesterday and there sending me a full set of diff's front center and rear with the case's. I got off the phone and was just floored with the guy from customer service guy. A big hat's off to Arrma ..
I see you are running the 160A Firma ESC but i don't think you mentioned what motor you are running? I tried to make it out in the video but curious to know brand and KV...Great driving, truck runs mint.
That's a Hobbystar 1730kv 4092 with 20T from RCJuice . 😎💪👊👊
Sweet bash mate, I need a area like that to get some decent footage, Melbourne is so flat😭
Hey mate have you got any merch? Would love some Duperbash decals! 😎
I've thought about it, but haven't put any merch out there 🤔. Appreciate the idea and support Brother. I'll try and make it happen. 😎💪👊👊
I have a question
Are those differentials the same size as the original (kraton v2) diffs? Next time my diffs give out im looking to upgrade.
Great run as always! Showing us how its done!
Thanks Chris 🤗!!!! The ring and pinion gears (aka...crown and input) are actually bigger 💪. They made the diff cups 2mm smaller to accommodate them. Outdrives and set pins are beefier, internal gears are all new. Front and center are limited slip diffs, rear is standard open diff with new gears...etc. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 wow thank you for your time! And the data!
I will not be so scared to go bash my v2 with the old diffs...i shimmed them and they are new but i have broke too many by now. I had not been driving it because of this!
Killer bash man. Those flips over that huge mound is just perfection.and the mad front flips i could watch all day👊 so was it the ackerman bar binding up the steering? Are the diff cases thicker on the exb? I know one rock under that center diff and it can be done if unnoticed. Thanks for the awesome video man i look forward to the diffs video🍻
Thanks so much Nick 🤗!!!! Had a wild good time this outing 😜. It seems the dirt and grime jambed my steering up in the steering arms, posts, and top plate 👀. Once she had a good bath and Silicone Spray, the steering opened right back up 👌. Probably long overdue with the ultra powdery dirt and grit the past few weeks. Air compressor alone doesn't cut it 🤣. The diff cases are the same, but the diff cups are 2mm smaller to accommodate for the bigger crown and input gears. Hopefully get a diff video up soon. Definitely lots of differences between the LSD diffs and standard 6s. Props to ARRMA for making the leap and pushing the innovation once again 🍻😎💪👊👊
Dam you got skills!!
Thanks Logan 🤗!!!! Really appreciate it. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Hey Rich have you had any problems with the rear diff on the Exb ?
No I haven't. There's talk on the Forums and Facebook about some units missing shims....etc. Always good to double-check fluids...etc. You never know when someone else does the assembly. 😎💪👊👊
Shear your bolt in boost mobiles Rear!!!! YEAH
What motor are you running? I got arrma kraton 6s v5, but I need help deciding between a max8 combo or Max6 combo. My cousin has max6 but he hasn't run it yet. The max6 his got is so heavy and don't know if it will get the air time I want because I want my kraton to jump higher.
Hey Brother 👊. Just saw this 👀. I'm running a Hobbystar 4092 1730 with Kraton 8s ESC (Firma 160A, Max6 size). Many guys do run the Max6 combo, but the 1650 motor is pretty chunky 😂. Definitely a few more grams then the 4092. I generally only recommend the Max8 2200 motor for the lighter Typhon or other buggy sized rigs.. It tends to get too hot in the Kraton or Outcast. 🍻😎💪👊👊
What a day to start with a killer session dear brother 👀🥰, the EXB looked dialed as few 😜. That HS motorsetup makes it rotatet as a propeller 🤣. Is this the 1730 and geared ? 🥰. This area gives me goosebumps, awsome session, plain simple AWSOME ❤. If i ever get an ARRMA again, its the EXB
Always GREAT BRO....
Thanks so much dear Brother 😍!!!! The Hobbystar 1730 with 21T is as fast as I could hope for 😱. Just screams on wide open throttle 🥰🥰. The EXB is a HUGE step up for ARRMA 👀. You would love it no question Thomas 🤗. Would be fantastic to see one in your arsenal at the GP's!!! Thank you so much for the kind words Brother 😊. Definitely made my day. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊
Been waiting for another video!
Thanks John 🤗. Been busy with family stuff the past couple weeks 😍. Felt great to get back out. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Rich Duperbash I hear ya, family comes first brother, then arrma family👍🏻. Speaking of family when you going to get one of the kids out with you again, those are some of the most fun videos to watch!
@@johnlincoln4616 hopefully soon Bro 😍. Their interests are mostly with friends at the moment 😝🤣🤣
sir! Im having a hell of a time figuring out why my 777 reef servo cant move the tires full rake at dead stop.. it feels like it drives "fine" but knowing it casnt rake fully on a stand still is messing with my "fun factor" it feels like my kreaton exb cant corner like my mohave or typhon. am i crazy? ty for your time in advance
I'm not sure Brother 🤔. Sounds like that's a programmable 700oz torque servo. Haven't used one before, but it looks like it takes a power source separate from the ESC if I'm not mistaken. Should have plenty of torque to move those wheels. May be a power or programming issue. 🍻
Where's the petition to sign to get you in as arrma's factory R&D driver ? Ive never seen anyone drive a Krayton and get it to do the stuff you do at that kinda speed 👍
Thanks so much Jeffrey 🤗. ARRMA is very open to feedback 👊. Fortunately, their team is ultra progressive. They take suggestions very seriously. We're going to see more innovation I'm sure. Appreciate the kind words. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Smooth sending.
Thanks Joey 🤗!!!! I wanted to send it with my big ramp, but the minivan was getting work done 😱🤣🤣😎💪👊👊
GOOD. LORD.
WELL DONE 🤙🏽
Thanks Brother 😜!!!! Digging this EXB big-time. 🍻😎💪👊👊
How much time did you swich your diff crown and pinnions?? I habe an outcast and is like the 5 run using stock electronicks and 16 pinion and now its rubbing out
These diffs are completely redesigned. Definitely have beefier crown and pinion gears 💪. My standard 6s gears do quite well, but I shim them with Mugen Seiki E0206 and Tekno #1222 shims. Makes a huge difference. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@Rich Duperbash what pinion and spur u are using?
I'm running a 21T Robinson Racing Extra Hard #1221 with my Hobbystar 1730kv 4092. I'd normally max out at 20T, just didn't have one at the time. 😎💪👊👊
Awesome bash. please do a Vid on limited slip diffs. Also what all did you program on your esc. I have same 160a esc and want to make sure I’m using the full capabilities of it.
Thanks so much Mike 🤗!!!! I had already upped the punch to max 5 using manual programming, but bought the program card to update my Kraton 8s ESC to version 3.09 on my laptop 👍. This made the power feed much smoother and more responsive. There's a couple threads about it on the Facebook ARRMA Kraton 8s forum.🍻😎💪👊👊
Lost it in the 🌞 loved it
Hey man! question, whats the main diffrence running the copperheads v2 and the 6s bacflips and the backflip lps on the Kraton EXB 1/8 scale. im running a 1650KW HB with a max6 atm. Cant figure out what tires to go for.
Hey Eirik 🤗. The V2 Copperheads and Backflips 6s are similar in size and diameter. I personally prefer the Backflips because they have less rounding on their contact patch, better traction and overall control. They have a different compliance with their shape and I can make more exacting corrections with the Backflips drifting, cornering, and jumping. The 4s Backflip LP's are noticably smaller and lighter than the 6s ones. They offer superior cornering, but you lose ground clearance and some cushion over rougher terrain. Hope this helps. 🍻
