This is great man. Googled how to replace a K8S rear arm and this popped right up! Subscribed!
8:20 roof 😮 hahaha great video ! 👍👍
Good video man I really liked it, I love that jump too.
Sweet jumps bro! 👊🏼😎👍🏼
Good video 👍🏻 I’m running a Hobbywing 11356 800kv motor with a Max5. 40t pinion, stock spur. Diff fluids are 1M in the front 20M in the centre 500K in the rear. I have a full Jim’s stainless steel rubber sealed bearing kit. JX 70kg servo. Flysky GT5 for my radio/receiver. I have the carbon fibre tubing on the chassis braces and a 4mm thick carbon fibre plate on the bottom of the chassis. As for fans on my Max5 I have a WFO shroud with 2 40mm yeah racing fans and on the motor I have a heat sink with 2 30mm yeah racing fans. I run 3 different sets of batteries... hobbystar 8000mah 100c, powerhobby 5200mah 50c and HRB 6000mah 50c.
What kind of speed you get
Can’t wait to see that Castle setup go in here.
I’m close to getting started on that
Exocaged RC I got the notification bell set!
Those things are just a beast 👍
“Get it like that though.” AWESOME video man. LOVE your videos. I’m really interested in the Kraton 8s and the DB XL-E. I don’t know which one yet. DEFINITELY going to take my time and do my due diligence. GREAT vid, let’s ride!🔥💯🔥🤜🤛🔥👍👍🔥
I’m planning on getting the DBXLE 2.0 as soon as I can. This whole virus thing could mess up my plans.
🔥I hear that!🔥
Hi @Exocaged RC, I think your drive shaft on that side is a little bent, check it out man
I should get Royalties for suggesting the boil technique!
Got mine didnt like stock tires switched to the Duratrax belted sixpacks, made a huge difference with grip up front, also switching up to 2.5mil center diff this week havent liked how front end needs to be down to pull it around for me
I had my v.1.0 K8S understeer really bad compared to my friends v.1.5.
Changed the diff fluids and it really made a difference! Now I can use the throttle to bring the back around.
I wen't for Front:1Mcst, Center:20Mcst, Rear:500Kcst.
Would like to try with 1M or 2M in the back as well. But that will have to wait until nest time.
Still heaps better with the new fluids!
Thanks for the info.
Looks like a lot of power is going to the front. Might need to tune the center diff
Great rip with that big girl 👍👊🏻😱. Yeah the arms are the weak spot. 😞 I added two M3 drup screws per arm and since haven’t broke any arms. The front arms suck to change. Great job on the video. Bash on 😎😎
Try taking the sway bar off so you can get more body roll to help the tires bite
It doesn’t have one on it.
If the arms were solid plastic, they would be SO much Weaker. It allows the part to be way more rigid. An example of this would be, a hollow piece of metal tubing vs. A solid metal tube. The solid will bend alot easier and more than a hollow tube.
Idk about the metal part. I know the outside diameter is the majority of strength but I have my doubts on that one
@@ExocagedRC try it out for yourself. Engineers use this simple science for everything they design that that requires strength.
It’s lighter and strong using tube for sure but it also crimps and crushes when bent.
Holla at Jim bearings for rubber sealed bearing kit
Will do!
@@ExocagedRC cool guy. Price very reasonable. I
Hit him up thru is website or u can catch him on fb
What's your set up on the kraton 8s? Thanks 👍
Right now it’s box stock
@@ExocagedRC impressive. Looked like a blast. Looks like boiling the arms might've helped?
Does RPM make arms for these yet?
not yet, I hope they do soon
Ever get the rear rpm arms? I just ordered some.
not yet, still on stock arms
Shame that they are so brittle, only issue I've had in a month with the outcast 8s. Btw love the vids.
its not solid because you cant cast solid parts, materials shrink as they cool, so having it one solid block would make for a massive amount of shrinkage in the middle and a mix of compressive and tension stresses built up within the piece, deforming the whole piece; making it narrower reduces these effects and spreads it more evenly through the part
Great video. I'm hoping someone comes out with stronger arms for it, without going metal and adding weight. I spray my upper/lower, front/back arms with WD-40. Only in the middle where I'd like it to flex more 🤷🏾♂️ What color xMaxx did you order?
The new Red one. Looks awesome I hope to get it out today.
Arrma needs to change the material on these.. I already shattered 2 front arms in like 40min runtime from brand new.. the problem is how they shatter.. they dont bend at all.. every chinese car I have has more forgiving plastic..
And I mean I didnt even blast it much..
It may have been a compression failure
Yeah it sure was.
Gotta keep the nuts🤣🤣🤣
If the arm was solid......you would not need the aftermarket parts........bui$ne$$
Broken ARMa
LoL
The arms are made of the worst plastic I've seen in hobby grade trucks... RPG arms haven't broken thankfully... but even exb arms just shatter instead of flexing...
