Awesome XMAS gift! I'm in Chicago so I feel your pain.
Dang you deffo got some snow there 😳 That heater is mint 🤛
Did ya know that Scorched Parts also do a 4mm stand-off with the thicker part in titanium
Proper strong 💪
Yeah I just looked it up, they do look pretty tank. Where do those ship from? Is it pricey coming into the states?
@@EastTactics Yup Scorched Parts is U.K. based like me so I’m all over their titanium upgrades 😋
Game changer. Thank you for your time and help.
I actually just used your mod to vent my tires today too thanks man
Oh nice… works great huh. Glad it helped
The M2C stand offs are top quality, I did snap one of the threads on a heavy impact but because it unscrewed from both ends I just ordered a high strength replacement screw for a couple of quid.
Nice job man. Standoffs are like the only thing I haven’t broke so I haven’t got m2c ones yet.
I have the basherqueen shock towers and they already have the larger holes for the m2c stand offs and they fit perfectly no drilling required
Nice. That makes life easier.
I was wondering I saw the video you made about the m2c shock towers and the carbon fiber shock towers what set do you think are better ?
Personally M2C.
As far as top end strength and toughness peace of mind. You can send with confidence with M2c.
Now with carbon fiber the strength of carbon fiber is directly proportional to the weight saving that you have throughout the entire vehicle. For instance if you’ve got a ton of carbon fiber spread throughout your vehicle and you dramatically reduce the overall weight of your rig the carbon fiber is amazing because your vehicle reduced weight emposes less strain on big air landings. If that makes sense.
The rig your installing in also makes a difference. If your rocking the lighter weight typhon, talion etc. I’d be more inclined to lean toward carbon fiber (especially if your using carbon fiber everywhere you can. Note: M2C chassis no matter what)
But for a 6s Kraton… since they are the heavier rig, I’d only go carbon fiber if I was building and extreme light build. Including incorporating the lightest battery I could find. So if you’re sort of mixing m2c aluminum parts throughout your vehicle and you’re thinking about going with only one or two pieces of carbon fiber. I would shy away from that.
I hope that answers your question let me know
It makes absolute sense that the over all weight reductions will aid in stress relief I didn’t even think of that and that’s the reason I went with carbon fiber was for the weight and the strength of it I’m not a big air basher I have a second Kraton for that this truck I’m building is light jumps and sand dirt and street it’s not a store bought truck it’s a complete ground up build I greatly appreciate your input this is my first build
Great video brother! Glad you can finally get back in the studio and get back to it!!
So much snow ❄️. Great video as always brother.
Great job Randy, thanks for posting this great info!
❤️ thx Avery
Wohoooooo I bent mine. 💪💪💪💪👊😎❤️ what jumps it took to bend them 😊🤘happy to see ya upload one especially about these wonderful parts.
M2C rocks.
Family rocks more so do good friends. 🙂🤘🤩
I was doing this yesterday,worst job was drilling the tower brace holes on a exb rear shock tower,snow looks fun there 👍
Great info man 🤟
Great explanation video East. I've put these on mine too.
I needed this so much thank you id been wondering what happen to you friend! Work has been getting hard for me and im currently facing some tough decisions to make . Its been a joy for me to get to see you waving around my favorite toy fixup company goodies .. im so terrible i should have just bought the whole beefcake when the kit came out . Chassis towers and braces standoffs rear hinge set soon to have the front and im even keeping the exb setup on it . Such a handsome looking monster! Again thank you for educating us and sharing some of the good will in this world
Anytime Mathew, glad you follow me. Thanks for that. 😎
Yeah those stand offs Rock I had them since last year. No my first gen Kraton EXB just had the 2 piece system. Now the EXb V2 has the EXb stand off which suck lol iv bent them pretty easy. M2C is way to go if your gonna send it. Great job ET. And congratulations on your heater brother 👊 yeah now you can spend more time in the garage away from the wife 😅
🤣😝🤣😝
Love M2C products Mitch looper is amazing you guys that do the testing are all outstanding been following you guys for quite some time now. Keep up with the good content.
Like your videos a lot!
Thanks!!
On the money video guide as always ✌️
Ugh! I am having the same snow issue here in Virginia. I need one of those space heaters. I have the M2C shock standoffs and love them. Never had any issues. Thanks for another great video!
I got them in my Kraton Exb to, those stock exb is so soft.
What's going on brother hope all is well I just seeing the shock shafts from m2c for the outcast 8s exb man I wish I could get them and the chassis
Not much my man! Just chill’n (literally) waiting for all this white stuff to fade out. Lol
Ya… m2c just keeps putting out killer stuff.
Great video. What are your top upgrade suggestions for the Kraton Exb 6s V1? Thanks
M2C
Front and rear hung pin kits.
Aluminum bulk heads
HR front knuckles
An 8s ESC (max 6) or firma 160
1730 kv motor
An M2C chassis
And if anything bend or brakes go M2C
Thanks. I'm running a max6 combo in my exb. How long are your average run times with an 8s setup?
Boss you are in canada as well I have a quiet familiar with the streets almost all over the North America streets and other things are not that different. Quebec is only that would be having a different. If you’re in canada plz let me know.
I’m living in Capital Ottawa,ON. I’m having some problems getting around my few RC
I’m in USA - Spanish Fork Utah
Not the best experience for me. I installed these on my talion EXB and I had a front standoff snap on the second jump, which I only got 1-2 feet off the ground and landed on all 4. I ordered a new set hoping I just got a bad one and the next set it better!
Yeah unfortunately in the world of metal manufacturing sometimes it’s impossible to know if there is a crack or a defect in a piece of metal. It’s pretty rare but nobody is impervious to the sort of anomaly. And it sounds to me like you definitely got a standoff with one of those imperfections. I’m glad that you were able to get it resolved
Building a m2c kraton 6s right now because I destroyed rear tower hing pins testing 3DRC unbreakable wing mount.your opinion, how well will the exb chassis hold up with m2c towers/braces/hr bulkheads?
How did the 3DRC wing that hold up?
As far as rocking everything MTC but holding off on the chassis. I feel like that’s a “fix it when you break it type of mentality” which is absolutely fine. And actually one of the mentality that I highly recommend in this hobby.
But I will say that I’ve always thought the MTC chassis is the best most pivotal upgrade you can put on your rig. So eventually I feel like you’re going to get one. But you might as well wait until you bend your stock one. The Exb chassis is dramatically stronger than the older versions. So it very well could hold up just fine with your style of bashing for the long-haul. So I don’t think that jumping to the MTC chassis right away is needed per se. But then again you might be an extreme basher and find that you bend your stock chassis next week. Pick m2c up then...😆
@@EastTactics the wing mount held up great! Undecided if the bounce it gives is a good or bad thing yet.I’m definitely going all in this spring when I hit the quarry so I’ll see how well the exb chassis does before I switch it out.guess I like to see the limits of stuff just so I know🤪
I was looking at the scorched rc stand off they r like the m2c ones check them out I don't no if they r better or just as good as m2c let me know what u think buddy? Nice to see u bk 😉👊👍💪🤙
The scorched RC looks strong. They do incorporate the two piece design similar to the original stock shock standoff. However instead of using a 3 mm bolt they use a 4 mm bolt that threads all the way through. The bolt itself is not titanium. In fact I’m not even 100% sure that the actual outer covering of the shock standoff is titanium. Considering they also sell aluminum parts on their website and the description doesn’t specifically say that that piece is made of titanium. Either way a 4 mm bolt going all the way through is a definite upgrade. And it looks like it’s made out of a quality steel. So I would say that the scorched RC standoffs are pretty close to neck and neck with m2c.
The other thing to consider though is… correct me if I’m wrong but I think scorched RC is not in our country. So shipping might take a little bit longer as well as be a little bit more expensive. Whereas we know m2c ships pretty fast.
@@EastTactics yeah they r uk based and so am I and its easier to get than m2c for me so j think I may try them if not then m2c it is 😉
What shock towers is that? I have the kraton M2c and it doesn’t look like that? Also i already picked up m2c standoffs for 2 of my rigs, great video by the way bro!
Thanks!
That’s the V4 shock tower. I assume you have the V5 or EXB?
@@EastTactics yeah i have the exb and recently picked up the v5 on a trade keep the m2c explained coming love these vids well i love all your vids great job man 👍
I really appreciate that brother!🔥👍🔥👍
G'day from Oz and keep up the great work. Just new to rc and bought the Mojave V2. So just a quick question, are these M2C shock tower stand offs suitable for stock Mojave shock towers, or would I be better off installing the M2C shock towers at the same time as installing the upgraded stand offs?... Cheers 😁🇦🇺
Stock shock towers are stock shock towers M2Cs are definitely much better and I would highly recommend eventually switching to those, especially in the rear. But most people simply wait for the need to pick up the shock towers unless money isn’t an issue, of course jump to them right away. Because they are dramatically better. And eventually you probably will bend your stock shock towers. The shock standoff’s on the other hand is something that you should definitely upgrade right away. You want to avoid the inevitable break there by jumping to the better quality M2C version. Everything M2C makes is going to be dramatically better than stock. For example, if you end up bending your chassis then at that time I would recommend jumping to the M2C chassis, etc..
Thanks for the quick reply for sorting out my queries, your comment makes a lot of sense and will get those stand outs ASAP and hold off 9n other upgrades till needed.
Oh and one last thing, is it me or is it a thing that my Mojave seems to have had the droop screws installed upside down from the factory?
I'll be ordering some of those too.
Cheers n beers. 😁👌🇭🇲
No problem, happy to help.
Upside down? Are you saying that the button heads on top?
@@EastTactics oh is it supposed to be like that? Told you I was new to this RC world. Lol 😂👌
@stevestanton8281
Lol, no worries at all my friend. There is no bad questions especially when you’re new and I’m definitely always happy to help. Yeah the reason why the button head is on the bottom is because it lessons damage to the chassis overtime. Back in the day it used to be a straight grub screw and that grub screw would just dig a hole right in the metal chassis and Screw up your settings. Droop is really important to get set properly so that you don’t break shock rod ends. If you haven’t seen my video on how to properly set your droop, just search my Library and you’ll find it. Later.
