This was such a KILLER build vid Brother Dennis 😱!!! Just watched on the big screen with my wife. She commented how "professional" it looked with "quite the setup" 👌. Fantastic job sharing the tricks, issues, logic, and gram weights of each upgrade. I shared it with my buddy Dan who has a Dbxle 2.0 and he went right to watching 👀. Know it took a ton of work to do Brother, but this was masterful and will help tons of guys in our hobby. Great stuff my friend you nailed it!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊
Appreciate your supper kind words my friend.... Yeah man this was my biggest undertaking edited down 30 minutes. The effort here is all for the community for that lasting resource I hope it to be. Took soooo many days upon days upon weeks to film and edit to my standards.... I'm a picky bastard. Cool that the wifey appreciated the work as well😎👍 See ya round my friend
@@mikeguzmansr well I know I'm likely to need 12s or at least more power 8s esc Max5 v2. I know this sounds terrible but I've been so busy I haven't run it after all the mods.

@@3SonsRCso sorry to hear about your dad. My condolences going out to you and your family. Don’t worry about the rig you’ll find the time again. Take care of you. And thanks for all the help. Your videos are amazing. 🙌
6 months later and I don't see a video of this beast yet! I wanna see this monster hit some jumps. NIce build. These rigs are notorious for being cool looking but super easy to break. I'm wondering with all that added weight how it holds up. I'd do the same build if I had one. I wanna see some stress testing asap.
Sorry bud.. I so want to, but I have been working like 60-70hr a week plus. And my town of Augusta just got practically destroyed by a hurricane 😳 But I should be upgrading all my ESC's to Max5 v2 within the next 30 days, there's only a Firma 160 in there now and she deserves more💪💪 Trust brother when I do it it will be great.....at least what I think is great 😜 I got Akill spikes, Mad Maxx Nobbies, Method Geoform/Teraforma, and MX43's to compare handling. Just talking about it gets me motivated but I have too many rigs so I get detracted easily (Squirrel ➡️) and there's no power in my city till the 5th at least....

Appreciate the kind words brother Aaron! Took a while to build this and I hope it just sits out there in the UA-cam universe for those who need it! Yeah man these ADU and DGI parts looking sick and I'm very happy it was under 3lbs extra, for a 30lb rig that's really nothing. See ya round my friend

Hello from Germany, we have also the DBXLE 2.0. We also upgrade it with Vitavon Stuff. We install Max4 Combo 😊. Great Video love you greetings from germany
Hello my German dear friend I super appreciate you you always comment on every one of my videos and it really means a lot if you're not the first person you're one of the first few people that comment and I super super super appreciate that and the kind words that have encouragement and I hope you're doing well and I'm super excited to get this Losi dbxle out as soon as possible
Looks great. It's A fun buggy. The camera really doesn't do justice to the size of these rigs. I really wish Arrma would build us a giant 5th scale Typhon.
Yeah bro, sorry for the delay.... But this one took 6x the effort as a normal video. Hopefully it helps some folks out there for reference. Appreciate your time and comment my friend
Monster vid for a monster build. I’m liking ADU parts so far as well, I’ve only got a few pieces so far but fit and finish is good. Looking forward to seeing this sucker rip! Do you have the motor and/or esc upgrade picked yet?
Appreciate the kind support my friend, I'm thinking of eventually getting a Max5 G2 so I can go 12s if I want to. Or might drop the G2 in my 30N build and put the max 5 in here as the 30N is bigger🤔 kinda upgrade poor at the moment so just gonna rock some fans and see how she does on a 19T.....I'm sure that's too much for the stock system 🤣😂 but with good fans running off 4s balance we will see. See ya round brother
@@3SonsRC I feel ya on the upgrade budget lol I’m lucky if I have replacement budget most often. Usually at least half my rigs are down needing parts at any given point. Hope to see you around more, get consistent content rolling again 💪🏼
Appreciate your time Brother. Man I havebeen so busy I haven't run it since all the upgrades it's a shame. But I have done something very similar on my 30 Degree N build video you can check that video, I have Bashed it pretty good and they hold up well. With a bad hit the plastic ends might bust at one end but there designed to do that as a break away part to save the chassis. There easily replaced.Will eventually get this one out and do a big tire test on it, got like 5 options I'm gonna compare. Hope to see ya round
@@johnmiller4553 I think it was brushed on so it's pretty thick, couple spots it's scraped off maybe from a big rock but for the most parts it's good... I might have some touch up paint on hand to rough it up occasionally but it shouldn't be too often seems pretty flexable, maybe it's the type of paint he used. Seems thick and flexable, not easy to scrape off.
What's up brother.... Thanks for your time and comment! For the 30 N I used two of the Outcast ones screwed into each other in the back to reach that distance.... With Carbon Fiber tubing over.... I show it a little better in that video. But not sure which lengths I used combined in the rear.... If you buy the Outcast 8s set (Jenny's RC) you will see two match up perfect.... Then a shorter one in the front just like I did here on the Dbxle but on the 30 N it actually matched up better. Hope your enjoying the channel brother. See ya round
I just bought the whole set so I'm not sure. Pretty sure it's the longest one for the Kraton. If I'm not mistaken it was a tad too long (where I attached it) and I had to cut about 1/8th off🤔 and then I re-threaded the brace with a kit I have. Hope that helps.
Did you leave your pinion exposed? I got the ADU mount too and was surprised there was no way to mount the pinion cover, guess I’ll need to 3D print one.
The ADU Center diff cover comes with a 3d printed cover for the Spur, the pinion is still exposed but that's not a big deal IMHO, plenty of rigs are like this, every Arrma rig, it's fine. Just have good wire management and don't allow your wires and battery cables to just flop around. Hope you are enjoying the channel brother, see ya round
It's listed under the dbxl or one of the others on their site but it workes perfect with their bulkhead and this dbxl-e-2-0 NP brother. Appreciate your time and support brother, hope your enjoying the channel, see ya round my man
Holy guacamole Batman you talk FAST... I had to double check and make sure I wasn't watching at 2x speed when you were talking... This stuff all looks cool... But I really think it's all a waste of money tbh... You're just making stuff too rigid which just moves the weakest point around. It doesn't get rid of it. I had a bunch of aluminum stuff on my Kraton and I hated it. Instead of the hit being absorbed by the flex or maybe breaking a cheap plastic arm. I bent my whole expensive aluminum chassis plate... After that I took it all off. I had a good couple hundred dollars worth of stuff. It looked AWESOME. I had a bunch of blue anodized stuff. But the rigidity really didn't do what you'd expect it to do. If anything. It did the opposite...
I hear ya on the speed of video. Many times in this video I had to speed it up 10-20% or it would have been a 40 minute video😳 About the beefcake parts.... Every rig is different (especially these 1/5 scale rigs) .... Whole other world than 1/8th scale. and sometimes it makes sense and depends on what parts. This is a big rig and the chassis is not strong and bends easily. So that's why the chassis reinforcement. I have done this with other big rigs and it has saved the chassis on my Losi 5ive T for example.... So it works in some places. Metal A Arms DEFINITELY NOT a good idea, and you definitely want to have flex in the places that can have impact, arms, bumpers. You want most of the flex around the outer extremities of the RC where the impact will need to be absorbed upon a crash and as you move closer into the chassis more stiffening is needed for the chassis and bulkhead areas because the gears and those types of things need to be held stable. The one place I'm concerned about with this build is that I have metal turn buckles and steering links WITH plastic arms, so the arms will give bit the other parts by the arm won't. We will see, most dudes do the same I did here with no problems because the arms still flex. I understand all you said about impact moving to the weakest point and I only add strength where it makes sense. There is still some slight flex to the chassis even with the braces, the arms and bumpers flex as does the roll CAGE. When I first got this RC I bent the chassis with light bashing small jumps. I don't need it to be M2Cified like my Arrma rigs, I'm not planning to go big like indo in those videos.... But I don't trust myself, I will send er at times so this amount of strengthening was need for what I do. Sure if I was just interested in ripping around a field or keeping the tires in the ground most of the time with small jumps sure I'd be fine mostly stock. But I get a little silly if you watch my other videos. Really appreciate your time and comment.... Hope you are enjoying the channel, see ya round brother
Your right diff cases is most important🎯 This is more of a super Beefcake Build but yeah they do good without all this.... Chassis bends easy though so the braces are essential IMHO

sad when a 1200 rc needs 1200 to be fast and tough.
It doesn’t need any of that but maybe diff cases. I own multiple of these rigs. They are great.

says "guys" too much. being impressed with free parts is not honesty
