      @@DerbyCityRC no problem dude! Ya, it just has that stout truck feel. The arms, chassis are rock solid no play or give where the pins and everything meet, really stoked on that! That’s where my Outcast 4s could use some help, better design or beefier materials. Outcast chassis #3 is about to get ordered up 🥹

    It’s a cool little truck. It’s got to be the noisiest RC truck I have ever heard. I’ve watched several videos on it sounds the same on all of them. Keep up the good work, man I really like your channel

      Thanks man that’s awesome to hear 🤘🏼🤘🏼😁 yea, I’m still pretty new to the plastic based rigs. It deff is noisy, according to Razer RC they need to be popped open for a shim to be removed. Gear mesh is a tad on the snug side as well it seems. Deff going to go though and check the diffs etc. bash on, thanks for stopping by!

    Glad it survived. I passed on this one. My last buy was the Rival MT8 by Team Associated. A few flaws with turnbuckles and susp arms, but that included updated extra parts in the box. It was also $349 from over $600. I run it on 4S mostly but it will take 6S.

    • @StraitJacketRC
      @StraitJacketRC  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It’s a fun small basher!
      The crazy thing with the Team Associated Rival was the 1/10 is a solid truck! The 1/8 though has been plagued with issues unfortunately. My problem with running a 6s stunt truck on 4s is it drastically reduces your air control. It’s fine if you aren’t jumping but I don’t just cruise around, I’m jumping and stunting. I predict Redcat comes out with an all new 6s platform to complement their 8s Vigilante and his 4s thing. Thanks for stopping by! 😜🤘🏼🤘🏼🚀🔥

    Love it! It's definitely a little ripper. Reminds me of a rival mt10 or a Vorteks. I bet it will do awesome at that new skatepark. That bmx park looks like it a blast too. My least favorite RC I've ever owned was a red cat blackout sc pro. So other than the crawlers, I've been kind of leary of red cat ever since. But this little truck looks pretty decent. Great video. 👍🤘

Haha definitely going to run this sucker at the skatepark, this steering should be crazy there!

    Dude. I thought the same thing about mine. Put different tires on it. It’s better with a meatier tire for all that loose dirt and sand. But it’s a fun truck for sure. She moves nicely. Just needs more rotation. That tire change is seriously a game changer with this truck.

    • @StraitJacketRC
      @StraitJacketRC  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks! They are Pro-Line Prime tires, they are older. The pro-line part number is #10116 They were for the Proline truck they had for a bit that was a 1/10 scale basher called the proline pro-mt they also had a short course version. They sported 1/8 size gear and was good for 6s. So it had 17mm hexes. Since that truck has long been discontinued they swapped them to raid style wheel and made them 12/14mm. The hub is removable so you could swap in a 17mm…

    excellent video brou. this question is from the far side... The first locating you were at, looks like a motocross track, could this be where Ben Lamay grow up riding. he was the only pro MX racer from Alaska. like 10-12-15 years ago. I'm curious, i notice your rear shock protectors in the rear are in the backwards. Is it spoze to protect the rear shocks from the debris from the front wheels roost. maybe not. look funky to me. awesome vid. Keep up the videos from up north, always looking forward to them. Keep em rolling. KER. Have fun

    • @StraitJacketRC
      @StraitJacketRC  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks man, yes this is the motocross track, but I couldn’t say if he rode here. Not any real moto scene here if it was the case I’m sure he blasted down to the lower 48 as soon as he started getting serious. 🤷🏼‍♂️
      The rear shocks was a result of me trying to see if my shock shafts were threaded on or pressed 😆 I couldn’t really tell because I only tool it off the arm. I told myself I would pull them off later and take a better look. I was in a hurry to go rip haha thanks for the support, more content coming up! 😜🤘🏼🤘🏼🚀🔥

They felt backwards, and from cranking the collar down I think it contributed to me busting a piston in half on the other front shock, and possibly exasperated the shaft breakage.
