How to make the Arrma Vorteks Indestructible!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 вер 2021
- In this video I show you how to make the Arrma Vorteks 3s the toughest basher ever! We install the RC MadLabz chassis brace kit and send this truck to the moon! The Vorteks takes unbelievable landings off the death ramp and even has a concrete chassis slam! It is no surprise that the chassis is still in perfect condition with this RC MadLabz Chassis brace on here! The only breakage was a shock rod end. Stay tuned for part 2 where we will install the shim kit, shock brace kit, shock bump kit, and 6s typhoon shocks! I will soon install the Arrma Typon 6s shocks and that shock breakage will never happen again. This kit is amazing guys and you can go check him out on eBay! If you own a 3s Arrma then this is one of the best mods you can do to your truck! You'll never snap another chassis again! RC MadLabz Kit 👉 ebay.com/usr/rcmadlabz. #rc #arrma #thunderrc
THUNDER! MY VORTEX IS ON PIECES! PROUD OF YOU, PUTTING A LITTLE COMEDY IN THE VID!!!!
ANOTHER STELLAR VIDEO!!!!⚡️⚡️🔥👊
Big thanks my bro Speed! Yeah dude, this chassis brace is amazing for the Vorteks! You should look into this one!👍🔥🔥💥💥⚡
@@thunderrc definitely! I snapped my Xmaxx rear bulkhead clean off. I made a plate to strength the rear end. Hope it works? My vortex is in pieces. I’ll get her going again. Thanks Brother!🔥⚡️⚡️👊
Gotta love the Vorteks. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing. John
Thanks my bro John!👍⚡⚡💥💥🔥
Good stuff Thunder! The RC Madlabz kits are very thoughtfully planned out and Dan is a great dude. Always available to sort out issues that come up. Great video bro keep sending it
Thank you man! Yes Dan is a great dude and he works hard to make some of the strongest parts!💯⚡
Can't wait to see what you do next with the vorteks. It's a fun little truck.
Thank my man! Yeah this thing is a beast!💥💥💥🔥🔥
Great durability man. I just sent my brother this video. He has a vorteks.
Oh awesome man! He should definitely get this kit for it!⚡⚡💥💯Man I drove it today after replacing the shock and it drives perfectly! No RC could have taken such a pavement blasting hit so casually like that! This chassis is legit!
They're epic mods for making the Vorkeks tough. They're a great basher once modified, I find the A arms, driveshafts and clutch plate spline weak on them too.
Keep the great vids coming 💪
Thank you brotha! Yeah man this brace really makes this truck insanely tough!🤩⚡⚡ Yeah the driveshafts and shocks are my next upgrades!
Love the sound effects!! Great video!
Thank you! Appreciate that and more action is coming soon!💯💥🚀🚀⚡🤩
You changed my mind! I am now going to get a Vorteks....Just kidd'n.... But she looks fun! Great info and bash!!
Big thanks my dude! If you do get one, get this kit for sure! It is worth every penny!💥⚡💥⚡🔥💥🔥🤩
Very great show bro 🤩 funny start🤘 so now the vortek go to the Moon 🤩🤩👉💪👌😁👋🇫🇷
Big thanks brotha! More action to come soon!⚡⚡🔥💥💥
Oh you got another Vorteks dang I'm envious dude. My Vorteks is kind of destroyed and now a parts queen. Might have to get me another they are as fun little truck. It certainly took the death ramp beating. Awesome video brotha!!!
Big thanks my bro! Sorry to hear yours is down at the moment. Yeah the Vorteks is an awesome fun tough truck! Man this. Brace upgrade for it is crazy good! You should get one for sure man! More videos to come soon!💥💥🤩⚡
Yo, nice video, nice RC, j like it !!
Thanks bro!🔥🔥⚡💥
Nice Upgrade 👊👍⚡
Thank you 👍
Great ! 👍😃
Thank you bro!⚡👍💥🤩
Great video brother, like your style. Them some sweet upgrades. Let her rip!
Thanks my bro! Appreciate you watching!⚡👍👍🔥🤩🤩
Yeaa triple 🤩🤘🤘
Yeah man! I love me some triples!!💥⚡⚡🔥🔥
Great video brotha
Thank you my bro!💥💥💯🔥
Death ramp looking good.✌
Yeah man, that good ole death ramp is killer!⚡💯💯💥🤩Thanks bro!
love the acting at the beginning thought you were Tom Cruise XD
Haha thanks my bro! Appreciate that man!⚡🤩🤩
That's a tough truck brother
Man it is one of the toughest now!👍⚡⚡💥🔥Thanks my dude!
Cool Vid from you again. I put the same Shocks on my Granite, they are good but not perfect. One thing on the 3s Series from Arrma ist the plastic Drivetrain. I will change it to metall if the parts are all available here in Germany. One Tipp for you. When you are soldering the XT90 Plug - put the other Plug (with no wires) in. Because of this the heat of the soldering goes to the other plug and the risk of melting the case of the plug is not so big. Hope you know what i mean, because of my bad english.
Thank you brotha!🤩⚡Yeah man those shocks look cool but are not the most durable for sure.👍💯💯
Wow what an epic film my bro!!! excellent job!! what a bulletproof looking chassis!!!
Smart using gloves while soldering, id do it bare-handed till I jerk the slightest bit and burn my fingers off😬lol
Id love to see this new and improved vortex vs Hoss. Thad be epic!!
Speaking of Hoss I've got a new Hoss video up!!! finally feeling somewhat better lol!!!
thanks, Thunder!!
Thank you my bro! I'm glad to hear you got the Hoss back up and runnung!⚡⚡💥⚡🔥running! Will go check that vid out my duee!
@@thunderrc thanks man!!
I was just thinking that was the perfect grass for people to learn how to stunt especially if they're starting with 3s and.... BAM!!! Pavement. Ouch. Lol
Haha yeah sometimes that sideways ramp hit can send 3m on the pavement 😂💥⚡🔥. That chassis held up like a champ though!
Muricans sure love their rock n roll 😂greetings from the wrecked Middle east
The fact that the washer didn’t go inside that little hex isn’t anything to think twice about, because that hex is holding it in place regardless… preventing any turning whatsoever. Great video as always man!
Yeah man it all fit and worked perfectly. Thank you bro!⚡⚡🤩🤩💯
Nice brother. Did you buy another one? Mine kept on breaking with the electronics and stuff but think about selling it and I decided or forced my way to keep it. And now I love it. Starts right up and runs great now all new electronics from Arma. Great on the track. Man your is a tank now wow. Amazing 👍👊
Thanks my bro! So I actually sold the first one I had a few weeks ago. This is the 2end one I've owned and it is sooo amazingly tough now with this chassis brace!⚡🔥🔥⚡⚡⚡
💪
Should have tried out the bump stops to see if it made it handle worst.
I wish these were available I'd buy one for sure.
Yeah man I don't know what happened to them... sad deal. 😱😳
Not bad for Amazon Shocks I bet they would have lasted if not landing on cement. I think the shock shafts are thicker on Vorteks in comparison too the Granite maybe those new bump stops will work good on stock shocks.
Man I knew I should have bought one of these RC’s when I had the chance way cheaper than a Rustler
Cheers 🍻 brother
Yeah that concrete landing was rough!😱⚡💥 That Chassis help up like a champ though! I think the bumper stops would work good on the stock shocks👍
@@thunderrc yeah that chassis’s brace should be a must for all hardcore bashers like yourself ⚡️⚡️⚡️
This is what can be expected when only using the part of our kit,>>absolutely no disrespect to Thunder rc. (It’s partly my fault, We are still changing instructions and small things… “my instructions do not clarify to install the shim kit 1st).
*When you combine all aspects of the kits, the components work together.
@@rcmadlabz2492 your components did work it was the Amazon special that snapped. Sick parts man I need too do the granite one day before sending it to the moon.
@@bubblesrcshed I know… if you pause the video when he does the slo-mo(14:42 “ish”)…you can see the right rear tire turn in/flex almost 45 degrees. *As for the front shock blow out, “snapping clean at the rod end”….the shock experienced a different motion than designed(up/down). **The shim kit And Bump stops, minimize twisting of parts, and add a small extra cushion, which really helps save components.
I use E6000 a lot, its shoe goo in a silver tube
Yeah man, shoe goo is good stuff!⚡
@@thunderrc why is shoe goo so expensive ey I’d bet it’s like ink and we are getting scammed
So I could use this kit for the Granite V3 also
I believe so my man! Check the link in description and see his online store 👍💥🔥🔥⚡
Yes it does..contact me directly thru eBay if needed, or UA-cam.
Nice video, dude. I was excited to buy the kit, but doesn't look like it's available =/
Where did you get the shocks and how much were they? Thanks keep up the awesome vids brother sweeeeet@!!!💯💯💣💥👊👊👏👏💪💪💪👍👍
Thank you my brotha!💥💯💯🔥 Here is a link for the shocks on ebay 👍 www.ebay.com/itm/Alloy-Shock-Absorber-Assembled-Front-Rear-for-Traxxas-1-10-Slash-4x4-4WD-2WD-/402908044163?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0
Why did you take the stock shocks off anyway.
Super send bud. I’m very impressed 👊😎
Thank you brotha! Honestly I just wanted to try those shocks out and see what they could handle 😂⚡⚡🔥💥🔥💥🔥 Appreciate you my dude! More to come soon!
@@thunderrc
Ya man keep it up your doing great.
I just learned how to do some editing for my UA-cam videos
I have been doing this for a little while now and with the help from others who have helped open my eyes I am now learning new ways to make videos.
And seeing new doors open helping me with my business plans. 🙂🙏
This hobby has truly been blessed by all of you great Digital content creator masters.
I see so many passionate hobby guys and Gals all helping out these days. I am truly Honoured to have chats like this. ❤️👊😎🤜💥🤛
Love your vids! Vorteks or gorgon and why? :)
Gorgon! Cheaper, better , both are good though
My Vorteks rear dip just took a crap what do you recommend for a upgrade
That’s compatible. Great videos by the way
Thanks brotha! Hmmm I’m not to sure since I sold my vorteks awhile ago, maybe try shims?!!
@thunderrc What do you think about the extra weight from the base? I've heard you and @kevintalbot say that weight is the killer, and that looks heavy! THANK YOU for your epic vids!
Thank you so much for watching in your support! Yeah, this chassis breezeways this car down a ton cause it’s way more problems and it’s worse.👍🏆🏆⚡️⚡️
@@thunderrc Thanks so much for the Killer content!! Love watching you send cars, and most important to me is your opinions on cars and upgrades, objectively andf subjectively. I love your comparisons. I want to know what survived, but also what was the most fun for you, why, and for what. It helps me know what to buy.
I bought an xMaxx because of you and @KevintalbotTV! And I am going almost stock because of your advice!
Hi! It’s still worth this truck in 2023, all stock? Thank you
Are they even selling this brace anymore? I can not seem to find it. I hit the link and it want show the part or price.
Wow man I am not sure. I'll have to check and see 👍⚡
*A Holiday Discount is coming, update on my channel soon.
~Rocky did an awesome job sharing how the kit stabilizes the models, corrects some flaws/weak points.
**Happy Holidays Everyone! 👍
👍⚡⚡⚡💯
My front spring broke after 2 days the only thing I don't like is that it's too low to the ground for me off-road
👍🏻
Thank you bro!⚡⚡🔥🔥💥
@@thunderrc welcome bro 🤜🏻🤛🏻🤟🏻
I need to upgrade my plugs. Xt90's a good bet?
Yeah bro, I love xt90s. It is all I run on everything 👍⚡.
Mad labs needs some 8s chassis bars.
Hehe, RcMadLabz needs to recover his retirement savings investment 1st. (I’m just a simple stand up guy, early retired/partially disabled…love the hobby like everyone else). 👍😎
@@rcmadlabz2492 We appreciate what you bringing to the table my man appreciate you for taking care of Thunder.
That would be sooo sick!!! I'll make that reccomemdation!🔥🔥⚡🔥🔥😱😱
My vortex was a lemon
Awe dang man, sorry to hear. What was wrong?
I notice that you seem to reply. I am in Australia and I can't find a link for this RC MadLabz chassis brace kit. I am keen to buy 2 of these items before my boys cars arrive. Can you help me out by selling me two of them or showing me where I can buy them online?Thanx in advance. Bob in Australia.
Hey my friend, I think that he went out of business unfortunately. He could not sell enough product. He used to be on eBay under RC Madlabz 👍🤩
@@thunderrc so maybe he would sell us the pattern? Then we cnc it locally?
I've done this 2 tears on all my 3S, I used 1/4 inch Lexan, and ZD Racing 1/8th shocks ($32 for all 4 on Amazon) and never break anything
Ohhh thank you for sharing that my dude!👍⚡⚡⚡I'm gonna look those up!
@@thunderrc Ive used them for years, even on asphalt, the are a hidden jem, when I eun one of my 6s shocks i'll go with these also, i'm not paying $140 for 4 shocks with no springs, just dont get the 1/10th, they too small, get the 1/8th even if putting on a 3S, I cant even break the shock bottoms and the oil that comes with them is OK, but you can make it thicker if ya want. i have a 4S kraton and 4 3S lines, they are on all of them, can break arms and such, just have yet to break one of these shocks
@@thunderrc I 2nd the ZD 1/8 scale shocks. They might be a bit long for the Vorteks but you can always shorten them. I have them on my Big Rock.
@@TheflyingkiwiRC yeah man these shocks sound like a good deal for the 3s lineup. Would be worth looking into for sure👍💥
Heads up. The shock tower braces for the Vorteks won’t fit. Dan from Madlabz is working on a fix right now. He’s a great dude to deal with. Stand up guy for sure and the kit makes your RC a beast!
Awesome man, yeah he wrote me earlier about this. Thanks bro 👍Yes Dan is a super good dude!👏
Thanks guys. (Sorry for the mistake)
*I own 3 of the 7 models the kits work on and when designing the kits….I made a mistake and didn’t see the difference in the exploded view parts print outs. (Just waiting for the brand new Vorteks shock towers to arrive so I can make a template, create the right design braces.)
**These will be sent out the minute I have them finished. ✌️
Can u please link that blue shocks?
Sure my man 👍⚡ www.ebay.com/itm/Alloy-Shock-Absorber-Assembled-Front-Rear-for-Traxxas-1-10-Slash-4x4-4WD-2WD-/402908044163?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0
@@thunderrc…we have tested these same eBay shocks.(they come in two versions, one with plastic lower ends, one with aluminum…same company/shock set). *These do work, however…on the LWB chassis, like the BigRock.(they are not enough). On a Typhon 3s, they work.(it’s overall weight is lighter).
**Watch my vids, to see how to save $$ on the best option, 6s shocks.
Where can I find the plate
You can find it on ebay. Rcmadlabz store
💯💥🚀👍
Driveshaft broke?
No it was only the left front shock. 🤩⚡👍
@@thunderrc you rock!!!! I love all your videos!!!
Thank you my bro! That is much appreciated my dude!💯💯👍⚡⚡⚡More to come soon my man!
Nice upgrade but to much money with shipping and VAT and....this is a plate, not all CNC,sorry.....
Time to buy some real tools. Those RTR tools suck plus hard to work with.
Yeah man I know, I need to get some proper rc drivers, just have to stash some cash before hand.
💪
Big thanks my brotha!🤩⚡👍
