Absolutely wonderful full Beefcake build and Killer bash Brother Eric 😜!!!! So cool of Mitch to sponsor it too 😍. The 840 56112 is such a torque heavy workhorse 💪. Still my all around favorite. It can do a number on the tires though 😱. Love the new construction spot Bro. Definitely a bit rough and chunky, but put a great test on these fine M2C prototypes we've been flogging on. It's mind boggling, but people sometimes forget these are 30+ lbs fully loaded 👀. Between EXB and M2C upgrades, these BIG suckers are on a level never seen before. Glad you caught some good weather 👍. Entering a major heatwave 113F plus high winds here 😂. Time to get some early sessions in. 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
Thanks Brother Rich!😎👊👊Yeah these spots were rough for sure with unpredictable dirt clumps ruts etc but a lot of fun!😁sending off those mega steep hills is always a fun challenge! Takes depth perception to land them!😱😆You're right, the 840kv does a number on the tires👀Just have to keep spares! Might try the Lockups on it soon. Might pick up a set of the Mashers too one available. I have a fresh set never used! Huge props to Mitch and the guys for delivering on this platform!! Definitely makes "real" Extreme bashing possible!😜Thanks for watching and your comment bro!😎👊👊💪🍻
Always with the insanity! That front flip landing was a piece of art! Thanks for Posting and beating the crap out our stuff!!! That was a rough run for sure!
Wow, your throttle control is just amazing! That a nice rig, seems that all the week spots got addressed so well by M2C . Enjoyed every second of the video. 😍😍😍
Thanks Basher Sis!!🤗Yeah this heavyweight is definitely one tough cookie and upgraded in all the right spots! Still amazed at what these trucks take for their size! Handle like 1/8 cars too!😍Thanks for your comment Kimberly!😎👊👊🍻
That construction site is amazing! It's the ultimate R/C bashing grounds. It has a lil bit of everything. Sand, mud, grass, loose gravel pack, hard pack, lil jumps big jumps. Man I'm jealous. Anyway have a blessed one
Hi Eric, Magic rip bro, you and rich just take this hobby to a whole new level. I love those little blips of throttle you give it to keep it level it's awesome, the truck is a beast I'm getting me an 8s next as my 6s is all m2cerfied and an absolute animal. keep it up brother from Saran down under!!
HELLS YES!!!! I've been waiting for your upload my dude!!! Always killer friggin sends!! And always bad ass Riggs!!! Always full sends to see if she bends!!!! You push them far and beyond their limits!!! You are the best!! If not one of the best Basher/Testers on UA-cam period!!!! You and Mitchell looper.. Or YOU and M2C = Perfection when paired together!!! Cant wait for the next video!! And I cant wait to see what M2C comes out with next!!! BasherQueen makes/has some of.. If not the Best Most Bad Ass CarbonFiber upgrades on the market!! Rcdude81and M2C and BasherQueen = THE STRONGEST/ MOST INDESTRUCTIBLE/ BEST BUILT RC IN THE WORLD!!! You guys seriously make the best combo!!!! Bad ass as always my dude!!!! Until the next one!! Keep On Keeping On!!! #RcDude81 #AlwaysFullSends #Arrma #M2C #BasherQueen #AllTheBestOfTheBest
Both are about the same being rollers. Once equipped it's all about what driving experience you want. Kraton will hold down power and be faster. Outcast is better for stunts, flips etc. Both about the same durability stock.😎👊
@@RCDUDE81 cool I bought the kraton yesterday I put in a max5 800kv I’m picking up my servo tomorrow for now I’ma run 39/33 gearing I want speed but still able to hit double backflips lol I love to bash but I like to be fast
Ultimate beefcake king 👑 basher! One hella build Eric! EXB + M2C = Kraton 8s on steroids! She rips and flips like it's nothing. Bulldoze right thru those super rough terrains. Awesome bash man.

Epic vid brother.... If only you could take a pic standing next to this weapon to show everyone how big this girl really is!!! Wooooo Epic driving mate!!
Absolutely brutal pounding you put this M2Cified K8S EXB+ through😎👍 Just loved the new spot in the beginning... Unless that is one of the old ones that has seen some recent activity 🤔? That Georgia/Carolina clay just perfect playground for that 1/5 th scale beast. Some huge sends off your plastic super senders 😱😎💪. I Should be out there pretty soon, let's meet up when it cools down a bit 🔥😅 See ya round friend
Thanks Brother Dennis!😊Yeah both the construction sites are fairly new! The middle location in the vid was a new spot! Lots of wicked hills to send off of and open flats as well!😍These sites are constantly changing so I take what I can get! Loving what Mitch and Avery are doing for the 8s platform!💪💪Makes for super bashing beasts!😎🍻💪👊👊
I have a few M2C bits on my K8S EXB like the M2C chassis, M2C hinge pin blocks, XLX2 esc plate mount. Waiting on those beefcake driveshafts from m2c to make it an even stronger tank. Good one as usual bud! Thanks for all the testing.
Did you and Rich go to that gravel spot back in the day?Great vid and bash man. You are at the forefront of getting these rigs as tough as they can be 👊
Do you get more speed out of the hobbystar 56112 compared to a 5687 1100kv? I bought the 5687 today for my kraton 8s and i thought it would be more speed since it has more kv
@@RCDUDE81 I didnt have the 56112.. I got the 1250kv in it now and i ordered the 5687 now.. its a tad bigger and less kv.. i wanna put 39T spur and 28 pinion on it
That should be a good setup!👌In my latest vid with the Outcast 8s EXB I was trying 39/30. Wicked fast but got a little too hot. 28 or 29 pinion should be a sweet spot with 39 spur on the 1100kv.
@RCDUDE81 Amazed by how well this rig took that beating. Beautiful driving as well! Would you mind posting a list of the upgraded components for your viewers looking to upgrade? Thank you!
Hell yea!! I absolutely love these 8s rigs 🥰 I can’t keep from bending the pivot balls tho.. You don’t have this problem? I’ve been hearing good things about HR new spring steel pivot balls, may have to give a set a whirl. Tell Mitch to hurry up and release the shock rods and axles plz!! 👊😎👍
It’s nice seeing clips where you truly have the space to send these bashers flying and just really having the space to use the things as intended. I feel like that’s one of the issues with people breaking their bashers too quickly is trying to use powerful rigs in too small a space. Helps build those driver skills when you’re able to have a nice long run up and landing space.
Man Eric she definitely takes a beating. Absolutely bad ass build. I love these 8s rigs for just shear fact of how well they handle the rougher terrain. I hit alot of gravel pits myself and they definitely trample the rough spots. I look forward to seeing the exb outcast man.thanks for another awesome video 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Hello RC DUDE 21, Mr. Looper recommended me to you. the owner from M2C racing I'm new to the gang of RC's but I have bought both the kraton 8's and the Talion 6s
Great video brother Eric 👍 most people will never know what it’s like to drive a m2cified Arrma because it is pricey but honestly whatever rig you build full beefcake will make you not wanna buy rc’s anymore. At that point your wasting money cause nothing at all beats a full beefcake truck, these rigs withstand some super crazy abuse 💯💪
M2C racing seems like he builds just the top notch stuff.... I will be getting into contact with them. Any idea if they do a chassis for the DBXL-E 2.0. Awesome bashing...as always.
It is. I'm running the XLX2 AND 1100KV motor with 35/47 gearing mine and it's an absolute monster. 58MPH on pavement and around 54mph on grass 🤣. Double backflips are easy to achieve. Hehe.
Can’t believe how your A-arms are holding up for more than a second on this truck. I literally exploded four of the stock ones in mere minutes, they are so glassy. I would do RPM arms before any other upgrade on these trucks.
Yeah whole bash without an arm breaking🤔Usually during the warm months arms aren't a problem for me but in the winter yes, they shatter like glass!👀RPM arms are great but have no area for droop screw or droop control. Puts a lot of strain on the shocks so that is the next week point.😱
@@RCDUDE81 I 3D printed a little foamy TPU piece to but in front of the shock piston to slightly limit it’s travel and dampen it on full extensions. Haven’t had any issues since with that. Stock CVDs will still bend on gnarly landings, but they are so easy to hammer straight, blast with a heat gun to take out the strain and keep rocking, same goes for the turnbuckles. Another issue I am working on currently is the heavy cans on these beasts being unsupported in the far end. It’s absolutely nuts how beat up my chassis is under the motor, meaning this stuff is flexing well beyond its comfort. I am on revision 3 of a really nice concept of a motor support + fan mount + cooling shroud in a single piece. I am very very confident that this will be a winner. If you got a 3D printer handy that can do somewhat exotic materials like PA or PC, I can do a version that fits your motor geometry and send you the STL if you wanna try it out. I share all my designs freely, so no issues :) I am personally very reluctant to pour more weight into especially my K8 EXB, as it is already a darn heavy truck. Do you mind sharing what kind of upgrades you feel have the greatest impact with the least addition to weight? I have tried to do the exact opposite of beefcaking on my Talion, and the result is absolutely outstanding. The main thing I did was to 3D print shock towers in PA12 with carbon fibers. This makes for towers with about the same stiffness as the original stamped aluminium ones, but completely unbreakable and weighs nothing. It seems to be saving all manner of other parts on the truck too. I kept torturing it on massive drops with no damage what so ever: ua-cam.com/video/4Nm9wPEuUPc/v-deo.html Would love to see more effort being put into light weight upgrades like this :)
I would like to know how the engine doesn't heat up using these gear configurations! Because I use 35/39 with a max5 esc and a hobbystar 780kv and the engine temperature is over 200F 😕 Do you have any idea why this is happening? Thank you.
Thanks for another awesome video. Question, how do you find these large cleared dirt lots perfect for rc bashing? I've been looking for something similar in my area but no dice.
I got a 6s Blx I put mamba monster x on it 1717 can 1650 kv what do I need to do to this thing to make it handle it will come off the ground can't turn it under throttle extreme tire ballooning done blew a tire out..any help would be great
Hey man, do you solder on 6.5 bullets for the hobbystar motor? I tried adapters so itll work with the max5, but it seems like heat and vibration keeps loosening them back up.
@@RCDUDE81 ok just wondering. Ill have to give that a try. Really wish hobbywing would make the max5 8mm bullets. It just makes much more sense. The max6 can stay 6.5mm for lighter rigs.
Rich Duperbash had a pretty good review on the new belted Proline Masher x's. Also the Duratrax Lockup x's are a great belted tire just a little heavy.😎👊
crazy video bro! do you have problems with your car cutting out on full power pulls with 34 34 gearing. i am running the same setup but i have the hobbywing 800kv motor and under full power pulls it wants to go into limp mode for a second. i thought it was my batteries but upgraded to highest c rating i could find. just wondering if its the motor or if you have the same issue? other that the cars a tank
@@RCDUDE81 powerhobbys 8000mah 120c graphene packs... i turned the punch down from 5 to 3 which helped a little. the only other thing i can think to do is try a capitcer or another motor. i really dont want to drop the gearing down because i love the power it has and it stays cool enough.
Nice bash how do you like the new copperhead tires ? What would you recommend for tha 8s kraton I'm about to buy a set I want to get the best bang for my buck I'm not a rich boy so I can't afford to try several different tires until I find the best your advice would be appreciated
Imho get you a good set of belted tires if you're running big power. The new Proline Masher x's or the Duratrax Sixpacks for the Kraton 8s. That will save you some headaches!😆👊🤘🤘
As always crazy good rc driving. When I get wild with my rcs they over heat pretty quick. My typhon v3 only goes about ten hard minutes with a 100c spec. 3s before it over heats with stock pinion. Really gets old and it has fans on motor and esc. All my traxxas do the same. I have a FTX 1/8 that I put a 120amp esc with a 3300kv long 3660 brushless that never over heats. It's over geared also and I don't get why my rtr cars over heat and my custom ftx doesn't. Drives me crazy.
Imagine this man I still am running the same drive shafts and with the same drive cups and all sloppy steering 😔 But Shat man if I could Beef it like that Howly Molly I would in a heartbeat. ❤️👊😀it sounds like a well oiled machine good job bro your one massive famous dude Another RC LEGEND 😊💪🤘
Please let me know? Name ur price🚍💸💵💴💰lol! No but serious add for all ur time an stuff like that i just dont have time r patience r knowledge to do it. Thanks i will b waiting for ur response ? Thanks again for ur time!
Performs great coz it's a total upgrade. Unfortunately the Arrma stock wont do any of this and i have seen folks breaking into pieces within a couple jumps. The point is that any machine that's been upgraded will perform to expectations.

Which is better this Exb Kraton 8’s or the Exb Outcast 8’s????
Man this thing craps on my x maxx and I got an 1100kv this rig is absolutely nuts how was the heat with the 1/1 ratio
I got a 6s Blx I put mamba monster x on it 1717 can 1650 kv what do I need to do to this thing to make it handle it will come off the ground can't turn it under throttle extreme tire ballooning done blew a tire out..any help would be great
Badass
Hey man, do you solder on 6.5 bullets for the hobbystar motor? I tried adapters so itll work with the max5, but it seems like heat and vibration keeps loosening them back up.
Yes I resolder on correct bullets. It's a pain but worth it!
@@RCDUDE81 ok just wondering. Ill have to give that a try. Really wish hobbywing would make the max5 8mm bullets. It just makes much more sense. The max6 can stay 6.5mm for lighter rigs.
What tire do you recommend over the stock EXB that was shredded?
Rich Duperbash had a pretty good review on the new belted Proline Masher x's. Also the Duratrax Lockup x's are a great belted tire just a little heavy.😎👊
Is that 20mil better for center diff than earplugs I've went thur 2 center diffs but with stock fluids on my 8s exb
I've never tried earplugs but 20mill works well for me.
Sick build !! Do you work construction , how do you get permission to be out there ? Most of the sites I go to are posted and can't run.
Thanks!😎👊No I just hit up these places after hours or weekends. No signs posted so it's a free for all!🤣🤣
@@RCDUDE81 That's cool ! I'm in FL. You in GA ?
Nice! Upstate SC here😎
@@RCDUDE81 👊🏻💪🏻💯
bro that was an awesome rip!!! wtf !!!
did you use AVC or any kind of gyroscope in this bash ?
Thanks so much! No gyro here.😎👊👊
@@RCDUDE81 Just awesome bro !! Hit me back with a SUB i also got some crazy bash videos ;)
Will do bro!
crazy video bro! do you have problems with your car cutting out on full power pulls with 34 34 gearing. i am running the same setup but i have the hobbywing 800kv motor and under full power pulls it wants to go into limp mode for a second. i thought it was my batteries but upgraded to highest c rating i could find. just wondering if its the motor or if you have the same issue? other that the cars a tank
Haven't had that problem🤔Usually only thing that will cause that is weak batteries. Good you went high C rating! What lipos are they?
@@RCDUDE81 powerhobbys 8000mah 120c graphene packs... i turned the punch down from 5 to 3 which helped a little. the only other thing i can think to do is try a capitcer or another motor. i really dont want to drop the gearing down because i love the power it has and it stays cool enough.
Incredible, what's the total cost of a build like this?
Check M2Cracing.net for the list of 8s upgrades!
Awesome build for sure. Any heat issues with that gearing? I have a hobbywing 800kv motor I was thinking about running that gearing or maybe 33/34
Thanks bro!👊No real heat issues. I'd recommend a cool down between packs though. That gearing with a 800kv should be golden!
Thanks for the heads up on cool downs. What gearing would you suggest with a 39t spur? 39t pinion? Or smaller
Nice bash how do you like the new copperhead tires ? What would you recommend for tha 8s kraton I'm about to buy a set I want to get the best bang for my buck I'm not a rich boy so I can't afford to try several different tires until I find the best your advice would be appreciated
Imho get you a good set of belted tires if you're running big power. The new Proline Masher x's or the Duratrax Sixpacks for the Kraton 8s. That will save you some headaches!😆👊🤘🤘
@@RCDUDE81 thank you keep up the great videos they are a joy to watch what tires would you recommend for the x maxx?
Hey man! Love the video.
Is there any difference between 34/34 and 39/39 gearing, except the size?
As always crazy good rc driving. When I get wild with my rcs they over heat pretty quick. My typhon v3 only goes about ten hard minutes with a 100c spec. 3s before it over heats with stock pinion. Really gets old and it has fans on motor and esc. All my traxxas do the same. I have a FTX 1/8 that I put a 120amp esc with a 3300kv long 3660 brushless that never over heats. It's over geared also and I don't get why my rtr cars over heat and my custom ftx doesn't. Drives me crazy.
Imagine this man I still am running the same drive shafts and with the same drive cups and all sloppy steering 😔
But Shat man if I could Beef it like that Howly Molly I would in a heartbeat.
❤️👊😀it sounds like a well oiled machine good job bro your one massive famous dude Another RC LEGEND 😊💪🤘
💪
Can i buy 1 from u with all the bells an whistles just like that 1???
Please let me know? Name ur price🚍💸💵💴💰lol! No but serious add for all ur time an stuff like that i just dont have time r patience r knowledge to do it. Thanks i will b waiting for ur response ? Thanks again for ur time!
Holy sheeet. That's super bulletproof beefcake.
Would you mind if I ask how much that build costs in total? Thanks sir
I'm not sure on total cost..🤔You can check out the 8s section on M2C's website and get an idea!😎👊
Tite work brother i learned alot from you thanks for the tips and tricks!100%
Awesome bro thanks so much!😎👊👊
Performs great coz it's a total upgrade. Unfortunately the Arrma stock wont do any of this and i have seen folks breaking into pieces within a couple jumps. The point is that any machine that's been upgraded will perform to expectations.
Awesome vid mate,
How were your temps with that 1/1 gearing? Thanks!
Thanks!😎👊Temps were fine! Just need a cool down between packs if going hard!
I jumped mine like 5 times up a quarter pipe onto grass and broke a rear arm didn’t jump anywhere near as high as you are in this video
And if you keep blowing out tires the try some powerhobbys tires I want to see how good those tires from power hobby tires do on sends like yours
They can't even survive mild jumping let alone this bashfest.
💪🏾💯🔥🚀
