She most definitely a Ripper buddy , Yeah ive had my head down with the rest of the cars and really needed to get the DR8 out for a bash . Yeah trying to work out how to fit the wing securely is the key so when it does take a tumble it stays put . Thanks for watching and supporting mate really do appreciate it honestly . Hope you and the family have had a great time off Chris :)
Very tempted for one of these. I have my crawlers rally car and mt10 but something about these. Think id be well happy with 2 good 2s batteries in it so i would lol time and w goid place to run it would be my problem 😄

Few little tweaks and there superb . Thanks for watching and if your enjoying the content please consider subscribing. Hope that your well Chris 🤙😎
I love my DR8, I've had it for about 2 & a half years, I use it a lot & I'm not kind to it. I recently fitted a Rocket 4092 motor to it... I can't believe I'm saying this, but it might have too much power now. 😉 😉 😂 😂 It was a bit of a handful with the stock 4074 motor, it's ballistic now.! Stay safe out there mate & best wishes from Scotland 🏴 🙏 ♥ 📻 🎮 🔋 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚔 🚕 🚖 🚗 🚘 🚙 🚚 🚛 🚜 🏎️ 🏍️ 🚤 🛥️ ✈️ 🛩️ 🚁
Hey there my Celtic brother, Yeah the dr8 was rapid anyways so must be a barrel of fun with that motor lol 😂. Gutted I've not got it anymore now mind , but do have loads to get on with for now and two new RCs coming can't wait . Stay safe there buddy, thanks for continuing to support the channel and watching , hope that your well Chris 😎🤙🚀🤘
Hey buddy thanks for commenting , yeah maybe look at something like that for it . Its a awesome truck for sure and i think that its definitely worth some time and effort to make it flawless . Stay safe Chris :)
Hey buddy , firstly thanks so much for watching , Yeah would love to meet up for a bash buddy , What date you in south wales mate ? Stay awesome Chris :)
Hey buddy , Yeah its a monster of a Rc ! , Love this truck so reliable , As for bearings ive had no issues at all it just does what it does , i then bring it home , Clean it with a Hose and Dry and then GT85 Everything no worries or stress just works . Not like my Arrma trucks the bearings on these seem awesome . Thanks for watching mate , Really hope your well and had a great easter Chris :)
Hey buddy , I do yes Here is the link 🔗 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/352761670295?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=b1UG2asFR5y&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=tujh-yrcStq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Now remember you will need to do some adjustments to it to fit correctly mind . Like form around can , otherwise it will be to big and also remove a small part of the heatsink so it doesn't interfere with the centre differential cups .
@@alexscott782 hey buddy take the fan off and gently squeeze it until it fits then put the fan back on is what I did . Also I removed a little bit of the metal from near the driveshaft cup on the centre driveshaft. Hope that this helps dude .
Ah good shout that buddy , that was my next thing to sort out , yeah ive noticed that the tyre are a tad slippery to say the least , having said that mind does make it fun to drive sideways at full speed lol . Thanks for watching also means alot . Chris :)

Maybe fit the hub extenders to improve cornering stability. They're dirt cheap on Ali Express.

@@ChriswithaCrc You're welcome. There are various different sizes available whereby the 23mm set is a good choice for the DR8.

That's an absolute beast mate! How did the bearings hold up after it's numerous trips in the lake? 💪

Thanks m8
Hi how did you get it to fit it's quite a bit bigger than the motor can?
@@alexscott782 hey buddy take the fan off and gently squeeze it until it fits then put the fan back on is what I did .
Also I removed a little bit of the metal from near the driveshaft cup on the centre driveshaft.
Hope that this helps dude .
Thanks m8 did you squeeze it around the motor or squeeze it the check?
Put mojave wheels on mine handles better transformed it with more grip
Ah good shout that buddy , that was my next thing to sort out , yeah ive noticed that the tyre are a tad slippery to say the least , having said that mind does make it fun to drive sideways at full speed lol .
Thanks for watching also means alot .
