This exact break at the wing mount happened to me and it was intimidating. I wish I knew this video was made before I did it. I figured it out in the end. I put shorter screws in as I didn’t want to pay $6 for 4 screws and used shorter ones I already had , let’s hope they will come out if this happens again…lol. Man, I love the Notorious. Thanks for you videos, I love your channel.
I cut the wing mount/wheelie bar off on mine close to the shock tower. Just say no to pickup trucks having a wing lol. The wingmount/wheelie bar is too much leverage to land on and not break something. It's like taking a long wrench and prying at the shock tower every time it lands on the wheelie bar
Rather than use the vice grips to remove the broken screws, take your drill with no bit, tighten down over the screw, as if the screw was itself a bit, then hit reverse. Voila, instant removal. Credit to Kevin Talbot for that great trick.
I couldn’t on those screws. The drill won’t fit. That’s a well known trick for any kind of rod or screw that spins. I’ve been doing it for like 15 years. We used it a lot on hinges.
Yay! Great to see the Notorious out again. Also to get the screws out you only need to remove the screws that go into the shock tower, not the whole diff case, and shocks.
I love the notorious I put a 15 t pinion and it’s just crazy it will beat your felony in a race but u have to roll into it with the notorious from 15 feet
Can you recommend proper use for cleaning bearings? I finally broke my first new truck this past 3 months playing to rough, funny! . My shock twice broken and now my one bone bad and new Diff Outdrive Steel...
It’s a fun RC, but it stays broken. Be sure to take all the screws out of the bottom and locktite them. Also your wheel nuts. Actually, locktite everything. I also upgraded the rear diff to the EXB diff. This thing eats rear diffs stock
I used the stock wing mount but i just used a dremel and made them the shape of the rpm ones became a lot more flexible bit a bit less flex than the rpm. The rpm wing mount you can move it without any force. The job of the wing mount is to dicipate the impact. Something the tbone racing doesnt do at all. Their plastic is too hard. You saw all the energy was transfered to your wheelie bar and the screws. Can even rip ur gearbox or bent the chassi in the long run. And tbone racing warranty is kinda of a pain in the butt. I only broke two rpm sets in a year. They broke near the screw tunnel. The rpm bents side to side but doesnt like to be pullet up and down much and it breaks due to plastic fatique. It turns white on the spot and breaks. Dont try to bend it back into shape boil them down to regenerate the bond or just plastic weld.
I haven't been running my notorious recently because everytime it gets run the first good wheelie rips the wing straight off the mount since those threads only have like 2 or 3 little threads of engagement on the wing itself ive been looking for something better then the stock one myself
I was trying to get them made but its stupid expensive. They are either like $60 each if I buy only a few or I have to spend like $5000 in hats to get them cheaper. I don't want to go with a cheap brand.
I wished I would have realized that the shock Tower was not threaded because I tried to drill them out and destroyed my diff housing and the shock Tower now I have to buy a new diff housing and shock Tower to repair the wing Mount screws that broke
The tbone racing one is junk its heavily reviewed you need the rpm ones. When they break you can just plastic weld it togueter. Plastic welding is a,azing. Just need soldering iron with a shit tip and arrma broken plastic
Can you just eliminate the wing mount and wing ? Seems like its a prob. Are you shimming the diff ? Just curious. I almost bought one of these but got a Mojave EXB. And built a beast.
Arrma should sell the wing and wing mount in plastic more flexable. So it dont breake, just flex. The wheelie bar should be ok anyway. But here is what I see some bashers have found a fix for this (Two links to support the wing mount. I have not tested this yet.) www.arrmaforum.com/threads/bullet-proofed-wing-mount.4111/
Just recorded a video with your phone it’s should be better quality because I don’t know if it’s your goPro or whatever you record with but I’m sorry to say but it doesn’t look that good Mostly when you point the camera towards your face that quality gets musty and grimy for some reason
I don't even own an arrma, but i watched this vid all the way through for when I do. Cheers mate another ggod one.
Thanks!

My Notorious has to be repaired every day I drove it... might get a Traxxas today.
Same. It breaks every time I drive it.
good
cool bashing and wing mount
I swear I subscribed a couple months ago when I first started looking at getting an Xmaxx.
Right? I think it auto unsubs people.

Break the wing of this thing is so easy
Very cool good to know the wing mount works 👍👍🙏🙏
Wing mount is what breaks diffs
When’s the track going to be ready.
I’m working on it. There is so much work to do on it. I’ve been battling the weeds and plants trying to take it over.
Yessss. Wing repair. Exactly what I needed right now 😌
Yay! Great to see the Notorious out again. Also to get the screws out you only need to remove the screws that go into the shock tower, not the whole diff case, and shocks.
T-Bone makes some great stuff. Great video. Now let’s see some action on that track!
Great video, Gotta love the perfect standing backflip!! The notorious looks like a great rig!
Great looking good 👍🏽
I love the notorious I put a 15 t pinion and it’s just crazy it will beat your felony in a race but u have to roll into it with the notorious from 15 feet
Had the same issue with the Kraton. Replaced with RPM mount, flexes well and rolls with the punches so to speak
Can you recommend proper use for cleaning bearings? I finally broke my first new truck this past 3 months playing to rough, funny! . My shock twice broken and now my one bone bad and new Diff Outdrive Steel...
Hope your doing ok mate thanks for your vid
Yeah best fix!! Pretty sick ! Powerful & FAST! Tough landing, I would of been apprised olif it didn't crack something the way it landed on Any RC.
How is your track coming along?
Slowly. It’s a lot of work.
Did you ever do a full review on this one? Just ordered one and looking for some confirmation in my decision lol
Yes I did.

I like the videos in front of the garage.
You might think about having others in your vids.
I usually don’t like others in my videos. It feels less personal to me. Like I’m ignoring the viewer.
How has the aluminum wing mount held up a year later? I just installed one on my Outcast 6s and haven't gone out to test it yet. 🤛💪

I thought about doing something similar with the wing mount.
T-BONE makes some great product !!! I've always had good results from their stuff 👍👍
Every time I look tor the t bone wing mount it always says its sold out 🥺
Yeah it took a while to get this one.
Hey, wrenching in the sunlight looks good. Can see everything. Not too much in shadow. I have the same problems with my K6exb wing mount breaks...
Can you use it with out the wing?
Yes but the wing protects the body and the rear shock tower. The body catches on the ground a lot with out the wing.
@@outsourcedrc well that suxx my wing mount broke. So my shit looks all goofy ..
I have the Noto to and the only thing I always break is wing mount 😄
That truck is a tank though 👌🏻👌🏻
Did a tiger just ask if you wanted a burrito?
That’s my wife!
I haven't been running my notorious recently because everytime it gets run the first good wheelie rips the wing straight off the mount since those threads only have like 2 or 3 little threads of engagement on the wing itself ive been looking for something better then the stock one myself
I really want one of your hats where can I purchase?
I was trying to get them made but its stupid expensive. They are either like $60 each if I buy only a few or I have to spend like $5000 in hats to get them cheaper. I don't want to go with a cheap brand.
I think I've solved the sheared screw issue... gonna hit a few more jumps. If it holds up, I'll give you a shout in my video for it if that's cool!
Yes let me know.
The light is definitely better but the shadows kinda ruin it. I cant make my mind up which I prefer!
Videos in forest and all around the property; keep us guessing 🌲🌲🌲
Really starting to like arrma more and more
You can definitely pull that trick off with the Notorious. Doesn't need much height either lol
Hi
Hi!
I wished I would have realized that the shock Tower was not threaded because I tried to drill them out and destroyed my diff housing and the shock Tower now I have to buy a new diff housing and shock Tower to repair the wing Mount screws that broke
The tbone racing one is junk its heavily reviewed you need the rpm ones. When they break you can just plastic weld it togueter. Plastic welding is a,azing. Just need soldering iron with a shit tip and arrma broken plastic
See, I heard just the opposite. That the RPM ones are bad.
What size gear and diff fluids are you using? Spins and responds fast in the air? Mine doesn't do that even on punch 9.
dangit now they're sold out. THANKS A LOT! =oP
Man I am laughing so hard man . You still liking them Armas. How are the remotes .
The new ones are good. What was so funny in the video? Everyone keeps laughing at it and I don’t know what is so funny lol
If you stand with your face to the sun, you won't cast a shadow onto the table. But it may be bright in your eyes, so maybe use sunglasses?
Can you just eliminate the wing mount and wing ? Seems like its a prob. Are you shimming the diff ? Just curious. I almost bought one of these but got a Mojave EXB. And built a beast.
Yes you can. But if upyou land in the rear. Your shock tower would be distroyed same for your diff gearbox
@@EXTREMERC416 thats sucks sounds like a poor design
Arrma should sell the wing and wing mount in plastic more flexable. So it dont breake, just flex. The wheelie bar should be ok anyway.
But here is what I see some bashers have found a fix for this (Two links to support the wing mount. I have not tested this yet.)

Who else thinks the Notorious is one of the most fun bashers?
👍🏼
U didn’t have to do half of that to get them out🤣. It was 4 screws
Just recorded a video with your phone it’s should be better quality because I don’t know if it’s your goPro or whatever you record with but I’m sorry to say but it doesn’t look that good Mostly when you point the camera towards your face that quality gets musty and grimy for some reason
