- Big Girl is still Top Dog among 8s bashers. Here's a side by side comparison between my two favorite large scale tires. Both have their advantages and can handle big power and high speeds. Huge thanks to my bash brothers and M2C Racing for the best upgrade parts on the planet. Thanks also to Fast Track Hobbies in Rocklin, California.
Long live the KING 👑. Arrma Army
Heck yeah Brother 😎💪👊👊
I am continously amazed at your love for big air!! 👍👍
So fun to send these huge Beasts wide open 😱🤙🤙
Just love to see you out there Rich rockn the big rigs awesome bash session with the Bros and I really appreciate you testing out two different tire options these two tires are probably the best options out there right now from what I can see, and this M2Cified Beast of a truck just flipping through the air huge airs was awesome to see. Great rips and I absolutely love that beach spot as well😍😍🏖️👍😎
Thanks so very much Brother Dennis 🤗. Loving both of these wheel sets!!! Definitely my 2 favorite for speed and killer handling 😍. Hoping the wheel hexes hang tough. Felt awesome to finally see the water level low enough to rip out at the lake again 😱🚀🚀. Huge props to M2C for allowing us to bash care free 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
EPIC Solo and group session my friend. You got the Big girl wide open at the lake. Bummer on the knuckle snaps but that was hard tagged on the rock. Super satisfying watching Big girl soar thru the air and the sound of the flat landings. Both tires are very comparable but the fresh backflip tires are an instant favorite for overall situations. Another awesome session brother. I enjoyed it very much.
Thanks so very much Brother Chris 🤗. Man it was so nice to see the water level low enough to rip around 😍. The storms from December and January filled her for the first time in years. Has a Blast out there and with the guys going full 8s send 🚀🚀. Loving the new Backflips and hauling ass with the MX57's. Really appreciate it Brother!!! 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Killer video brother rich always enjoy the insight especially with these big cars
Thanks so very much Brother 🤗. Love these Big rigs 😍
The spot by the water looks fun and its gorgeous. Great bashing and I'm glad to see big girl out and about. 🎉🍻
Thanks so much Brother 🤗. Folsom Lake is my favorite spot no question. Big Girl can really stretch her legs out there 😍
Great video bro just wanted to say I tried the same thing and swapped the new backflips of my outcast and they were great. Just ordered a set of the prolines waiting for them. Again great video bro. Have a good weekend.
Thanks so very much Michael 🤗. Really loving both of these wheels. The MX57's are crazy fast 😱. Much appreciated Brother and have a wonderful weekend 🍻
Epic bash , makes me wanna run my Kraton 8s now !! Awesome as always 🤘🏻
Thanks so very much Brother 🤗. Big Girl K8s is a Beast with proper power!!! 🚀🚀
Am literally debating these 2 sets of tires right now! Lol thank you for helping sway my decision. I will be getting the prolines as i run 12s on my kraton, and 70mph is a pretty regular thing
You bet Brother 👊. I'd pick the MX57's hands down on 12s. Just check the glue beads and touch them up if needed 🍻
Always the best my friend another super great video you are deff tops I haver seen ..ty you 4 all your great videos
Thanks so very much for the kind words Brother 😊
AWESOME BASH brother! you've been KILLING IT!! Thanks for punishing the parts, than new hex design is an awesome idea!!!
Thanks so much Brother Avery 😁. Love these 2 wheel options. We'll see if these stock plastic hexes hold up. Thanks for making the best upgrades available letting us bash care free 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
I hate the walk of shame after removing the front end off my kraton. It's like the walk back to the car is never ending. Awesome bash Rich!
Thanks so much Josh 🤗. Yeah I've had a connector unsolder far from the car. Carrying these big Beasts long distances is no joke 😂
I wanna bash here! Deadly video Rich, This spot is cool even without the ramp man. K8S did a stand up job today, nice drivin dude.
Thanks so much Brother Phil 😁. Getting back to the lake made my day. The misses was there too out of frame. Think she got a glimpse of how fun it truly is to rip full speed in the sand and gorgeous backdrop 😍
Awesome sends by you and the gang!! Great video as always! Definitely no problem getting those MX57's up to speed! I thought you were going to clear the landing pad!! 😂😂 Have a great weekend!!👍🤙💯
Thanks so much Chad 😁. The MX57's haul ass with big power. So much fun between the group bash and ripping at the lake 😍. Have a great weekend too Brother 🍻
Ahhh, the King is in the house, great session. Literally just got done ripping mine but nothing even close to what you huck!
Thanks Brother 👊. Hope you had a blast out there 🍻
You are a big inspiration 🤩 You and the rest of the group 🙌 Love your uploads! My k8 is now a rich/aldo/m2c hybrid. o8 shock, m2c+++, 12s HW max5g2 castle 800 🤩 First run to day, and it's extreme😅 25s/21p vitavon mod1,5 😎🤠
Thanks so much Henning and stoked to hear about your 8s builds Brother 😱🚀🚀
Glad I made it out this time. I bit of bad luck but still had a good time. Nothing like sending 8s rigs.
No doubt Brother. Stoked we could connect again. Hopefully Ian and Dave will join us again soon. It's a different kind of rush sending these huge Beasts 😱🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
Awesome run Big girl just never disappoints Arrmas just killing it right now the k8 has been my all time favorite since day one nothing fly better and puts major power to the ground like a moded k8
Thanks so much Brother 🤗. Big Girl is a special Beast indeed 🚀🚀
Awesome rip Brother Rich with the Queen of Big Girls!!💪She's fast no doubt and hooks killer with both sets of tires! The Mx57's hum so nice on pavement and did great at the lake! Love the skimming across the water! Sucks on that rock that showed up just in time!😆 Happens when you're bashing fast! I know how that is for sure! Sweet bash with the guys and killer air! Makes me want to get my EXB 8s back out! The 8s Kraton is definitely still the King! BASH ON Bro!😎🤘🚀🚀
Thanks so much Brother Eric 🤗. Big Girl felt awesome with both tires. The MX57's are so crazy fast and the new Backflips have killer air control 🤙. Stoked we could hit the new ramp again and elated the water level is finally dropping out at Folsom. Truly is the best place I can imagine for full throttle pulls 😍. The Prolines sound wicked on the pavement and wet sand 😱. Weather was gorgeous and grateful to get out despite another boulder mishap 😂. Truly appreciate it Bro. 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
Always amazing landings, top tier bashing.
Thanks so much Brother 🤗
Awesome Rip Rich watched it twice now. Well listened to it once and watched it the second time I’m not too sure about the new MX57 I really hope they hold up better than the original. I like the new backflips but they definitely have their place like you said, they do get a little sketchy on top end but you make it look super easy love it definitely had big girl out there getting it that pass through the water was pretty awesome too. That’s one of my favorite spots you Bash at what did you end up hitting out there was that a rock or a piece of driftwood either way it look like a pretty sudden stop killer rip as always, my friend.
Thanks so very much Brother Aldo 🤗. Fingers crossed the new Proline hexes hold up. The wheels are fast AF 👀. Been waiting for months (since December) for the water level to drop out at Folsom Lake 😱🚀🚀. The sound of the tires was just nasty 😂. Angry cocaine elephant 🤣🤣. I tagged 3 boulders with that hit, a makeshift fire pit. Was trying to drift left, but the tires hooked up and shot the truck right at it. Not the first time I've hit stuff and won't be the last. The scenery and fun factor was well worth it 😍🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
upvoted!!!
So sick. A LOT of skill to send a big truck like that and not break it every 5 mins!
Man rich you got that big girl just ripping killer bash my friend
Thanks so very much Brother 🚀🚀
Love that beach spot you rip at bro 👌 I think the prolines get my money, but with that said haven't tried the new backflips, I'm sure they're awesome too
Thanks so much Brother Ed 😁. Love that beach spot too 😍. So perfect for going wide out and absolutely gorgeous scenery. The MX57's are fast AF 👀. Really digging the new Backflips too. 🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
glad I’m not the only one this happens to🔥🔥
For sure Brother 👊. I've hit more things than I can remember through the years 😂
Sick runs as usual bro, looked like an awesome day out. Those mx57 badlands makes some wicked noise on the pavement right 😂. Ive had my set a couple months now and i still laugh at it. When I give her the beans ol girl gets squirrely in the streets and drifts all 4, but eats nicely on any other terrain so far. 👊🏻🚀
Thanks so much Brother 🤗. Yes indeed the tire sounds are wicked on the pavement and wet sand 😱. Definitely gets a bit sideways laying into the throttle. Love the traction off road 😍
Man, Rich. I am jealous of your bashing spots. I have nothing like that where I am located. Amd it doesn't help that Winter is fast approaching. Here in the North East. Anyway, it's a great video. The Kraton 8S still can compete with the X-Maxx.
Sick bash session dude, shes straight killin it!
Edit: Love all your videos and always have sick footage, but its time to use a GoPro with Hypersmooth and record in 4k@60fps!! Lets do this!!
Thanks so very much Brother 🤗. Big Girl felt awesome out there. I'll definitely give a camera update some thought. Really appreciate it. 😎💪👊👊
Yeah bro👊🏻 awesome vid with my favorite rig👌🏻🤩
Yes the MX57 are great tires!
I really like using it, but yes the air control isn't quite as good.
Perfect for speed bashing🚀🚀🚀 I should try the new backflippes👍🏻
Fu** Rock at the end🙈 its hurts!
Cheers and a nice Weekend 😎
Thanks so very much Brother 🤗. Love the MX57's. The new bigger Backflips were such a stellar move by ARRMA 😱. Perfectly sized for these big Beasts. Have a great weekend my friend 🍻
awesome
A beast driven by a professional rc driver!
Thank you Joseph 🤗
Nice bash till that dang big arse rock had to get in the way 😁 🤘🏻
Thank you Brother 😁. I try my best to avoid granite slabs, driftwood, and boulders out there, but it happens sometimes 😱😂
King Kraton back for more!
The Arma 8s still king and you are the king of hardcore bashing. Peace out Rich.
Thanks so very much for the kind words Mark 🤗. Happy bashing Brother 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Still out there with my fully equipped m2c racing TEC MT 410 and my fully modified Outcast V2. Really don't have the area to run any truck bigger than that but I am so content with those two trucks. They are my most favorite stunt trucks l have ever owned. Have a good one Rich. Keep making your videos l can't get enough of the jumps you do and l love how you go through the ass kicking bashers you build before you send them.
@@Schmidt3850 thank you Brother 🤗. The O6s and MT410 are perennial favorites of mine. Appreciate you sharing 🍻
So Rich. Awesome bash - I’m still amazed by the air control 😎💪🏻. With the limitless 44 gearing would your batteries and ESC get crazy high temps?
Thanks so much Thomas 🤗. First ran 34/34 gearing with the 840kv years ago and the temps are perfect 😍. Max5 does awesome and so do the packs.
😎💯💯💯
Another killer vid Rich, just have a question the last 2 runs I stripped the gears in my rear diff on the outcast 8s. I have it geared with the included 30t pinion and done earplugs in the center diff. The thing is I can't find anything about shimming the 8s diffs. Do you think the gearing / earplugs is just to much or am I just having bad luck...
Thanks so much Thomas 😊. You might just be having bad luck. If it's the ring gear, there should be a single bearing shim from the factory on the gear side. The internal diff gears usually won't strip unless the diff cup is damaged, screws come loose, or possibly the outdrive gets really jammed up 🤔. I haven't had any issues geared up or running Silicone ear plugs center.
Any plans on doing a 12s upgrade with a max5 G2 combo? If so, a running video would be in order for sure! I think alot of people are curious to how the M5g2 in 12S runs in a K8. Basically what would the pros and cons of 8s vs 12s in the arrma 8s cars.
No plans at the moment 🤗. Aldo Loyal has some great 12s G2 combo vids with his. I'm happy with 8s with the proper motor and gearing. She's fast as heck 😍
Hey rich! I want to also use outcast towers on my kraton, do I need 4 rear kraton shocks, or 4 outcast shocks?
Thanks!
I notice Jenny’s RC says 188mm for O8s shocks and 190mm for kraton rears.
Hey Brother 🤗. I used an Outcast front tower and front shocks on my K8s. Kept the stock rear tower and shocks 🍻
Hey rich do the stock diff gears work with the vitavon bulkheads? I stripped mine out this weekend and am looking to upgrade 🤘🏻
Yes indeed Brother 👊. The fitment and tolerances were perfect with mine. 🍻
Sick bash Rich! I got backflip happy with the new O8 EXB RTR and came down really hard and smashed the front end😂. Are you getting the Mojave 4s?
Thanks Brother 😁. I've had some wicked nose jobs myself through the years 😂. Hopefully your O8s is up and running. I'm definitely interested in the Mojave 4s 👀
@@richduperbash2966 yeah man I got all the parts on order. I went with the m2c rod ends for the chassis braces as I broke on on impact. And I got the Mojave 4s on preorder as well.
It's always nice when they end up on the wheels after 10 or 15 cartwheels!! 😅
LMAO 😂. Yes it sure is Josh. I was hoping she'd pull it off 😍
Kraton is definitely still the King! Awesome bash Rich 🚀🚀🤩
Thanks so much Brother Aaron 🤗. King indeed. The K8s is incredible with the right power setup 😍🚀🚀
What shock oil wt are you running? Ty in advance
So you only switched the front shock tower to outcast tower and outcast front shocks as well ? I’m trying to do this mod.
Yep. Bought them both online from Jenny's RC. Save a few bucks usually. 🍻
Rich, what pinion and spur would you run on a Hobbywing Max5G2 800kv setup?
I'd probably try 34/34 or even over-gear the pinion 2-3 teeth if running 8s. 1/1 gearing is a good start with 800kv motors.
I keep breaking the rear dog bone on my drive shafts. Am I doing something wrong?
You're not necessarily doing anything wrong. Driveshafts and pins can snap if you're landing on throttle or dumping the throttle hard over abrupt faces with heavier wheels and big power. They can also snap from bad wrecks. I've done it myself several times through the years.
If I remember correctly, you ran the 980kv hobbystar like I have and dropped down to the 840kv for longer run time and less heat ??? I have the 980kv in my o8s exb since getting it and still debating what I put back in my k8s since it's bin sitting since I got my o8s exb. Lol
I started with the 840kv in my K8s years back with 34/34 before experimenting with the 980, but in hindsight was experiencing cogging I thought was from over gearing before discovering a failing connector/solder job. Both are fantastic options with the right gearing. The 980 is perfect for the Outcast and fast as heck in the Kraton with killer top end.
@@richduperbash2966 ok I thought I remembered you haven the 980kv at some point. I have the 980kv geared 30p/39s in my o8s exb and it's perfect for it. The k8s it ran little hot with same gearing, but with a xmaxx heat sink and fan it was OK. On the o8s I don't have the need for the heat sink or fan so I'm thinking I'll keep it there and possibly try another kv motor for the k8s. I still have the xlx2 1100kv combo i got as a replacement for the same system that burnt up in my k8s when it first came out. Lol to afaid to run it an loss my whole truck possibly. Lol so gonna stick with something not castle. Have considered the new max5 g2 800kv 12s system since my k8s is loaded with upgrades that's got it a heavy metal machine. Not really looking to run 12s, but be cool to have the ability if I want to for open field runs when i travel with it to the park's to bash with friends. Have you tryed any of the g2 stuff yet ??
@@mikellewis2346I haven't tried any of the G2 stuff yet. Just don't feel compelled to run 12s with the power/speed I'm getting already. The Castle 1100 setup rips. That's what my buddy Victor has in his K8s. I hear you with the XLX2 though 😂. It's great when it's not catching on fire 😱
Rich! Im running a identical set up to you except stock tires on my 8s kraton exb. And its over heating! Do you have any issues?
Absolutely no heat issues with this setup. My best guess (assuming your bearings are all good) is the stock EXB tires are ballooning and putting some added strain on the electronics. Could also be a weak connection/bad solder job.
@@richduperbash2966 the tires were ballooning pretty bad, i was giving her the beanz in a flat area alot. But i will check the soldering as well! Maybe get some masher xp’s thanks brotha!
Hola ke combo tiene puesto el kraton aver si Melo podéis decir no veas cómo va el vicho un saludo 👍🏎️🏎️🍻🍻🍻🍻
Hobbystar 56112 840kv motor with Hobbywing Max5 ESC. Gearing is 34/34. Motor is from RC Juice.🍻
What do you have to do to convert your 8s outkast to a kraton
You need the Kraton chassis, rear center driveshaft, rear braces, and longer mudguards.
Have you bashed the new 8s Kraton EXB?
Nope. Just the O8s EXB RTR with the same electronics. I had run a 5687 1100 in my original K8s RTR before going to bigger power setups.
KING👑KRATON💪🏽EPIC🤩BASH🚀BROTHER🏆DUPERBASH💯🏎💨💨
Thanks so very much Brother 🤗
how tough are the 8s ones looking at getting one
They're pretty damn tough. The Outcast 8s EXB RTR is friggin awesome 😱
Biatches!! I'm first!!😂😂
How do hold that thing out with one hand? Its like 30 pounds lol
I don't hold it up there too long 😂
This is probably the only RC channel where you don’t hear the guy giggling like a little kid and driving his car in silly donuts. Now this is bashing‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
What about vs the Talion? 😂
The Talion is the ultimate speed basher 😍. So underrated.
🚀🛰🪂🪂🫡
More like watching rc mx free style 😂 turn rc car in to planes
Yeah we're definitely getting some FMX hangtime out there 😂
