- FTX DR8's Epic Off-Road Adventure in the Welsh Valleys ,
Hey Guys Join us for an epic off-road adventure in the Welsh Valleys with the tough and rugged FTX DR8! In this video, we take the DR8 to Clydach in the heart of the Rhondda Valleys for a brutal ground bash and a dip in the river. Watch as we push the DR8 to its limits, tearing through dirt, dust, water, and grass at full speed.
But the excitement doesn't stop there! We also had a close call with a group of walkers, as the DR8 nearly tumbled towards them. Luckily, we managed to avoid them and continue our wild ride.
We want to take a moment to thank all of our awesome subscribers and viewers for their support. We're thrilled to be building a strong community of off-road enthusiasts who share our passion for adventure and adrenaline. So sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride!

What a ripper. Always good to see it out and I really like the wing mod, so hope you can find a way to fit it.
She most definitely a Ripper buddy , Yeah ive had my head down with the rest of the cars and really needed to get the DR8 out for a bash .
Yeah trying to work out how to fit the wing securely is the key so when it does take a tumble it stays put .
Thanks for watching and supporting mate really do appreciate it honestly .
Hope you and the family have had a great time off
Chris :)
That's an absolute beast mate! How did the bearings hold up after it's numerous trips in the lake? 💪
Hey buddy ,
Yeah its a monster of a Rc ! , Love this truck so reliable , As for bearings ive had no issues at all it just does what it does , i then bring it home , Clean it with a Hose and Dry and then GT85 Everything no worries or stress just works .
Not like my Arrma trucks the bearings on these seem awesome .
Thanks for watching mate ,
Really hope your well and had a great easter
Chris :)
I love my DR8, I've had it for about 2 & a half years, I use it a lot & I'm not kind to it.
I recently fitted a Rocket 4092 motor to it...
I can't believe I'm saying this, but it might have too much power now. 😉 😉 😂 😂
It was a bit of a handful with the stock 4074 motor, it's ballistic now.!
Stay safe out there mate & best wishes from Scotland 🏴 🙏 ♥ 📻 🎮 🔋 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚔 🚕 🚖 🚗 🚘 🚙 🚚 🚛 🚜 🏎️ 🏍️ 🚤 🛥️ ✈️ 🛩️ 🚁
Hey there my Celtic brother,
Yeah the dr8 was rapid anyways so must be a barrel of fun with that motor lol 😂.
Gutted I've not got it anymore now mind , but do have loads to get on with for now and two new RCs coming can't wait .
Stay safe there buddy, thanks for continuing to support the channel and watching , hope that your well
Chris 😎🤙🚀🤘
Put mojave wheels on mine handles better transformed it with more grip
Ah good shout that buddy , that was my next thing to sort out , yeah ive noticed that the tyre are a tad slippery to say the least , having said that mind does make it fun to drive sideways at full speed lol .
Thanks for watching also means alot .
Chris :)

Hey buddy , Massive thanks for the watching , Yeah the DR8 is definitely one of my favourite cars ive ever owned .

Hey buddy ,

and omg did i see a front wheel wheelie.
thanks to your brill video as always has givcen me a great idea for a place where i can take mine when i go to my mums.
hope you and the family are all good thank you for a brill video as always.
peter
Hey Peter ,
So glad you like the video , I had a feeling you would be all over this ! ,
Loads of wheelies , Dips on the water , Tumbles the works .
Oh wow what you thinking buddy ????
Once again thanks for watching ,
Hope you and the Family are well and safe .
Chris :)
@@ChriswithaCrc hi chris
there is 2 places near my mums where i grew up in plymouth one is like a woods area with loads of grass loose surfaces and if i remember a couple of jumps and the second is near a river thats about 2 inch deep with loads of loose gravels so your video has got me thinking.
and yeah i have had mine wheelie and tumbles and it always comes back for more.
shame the weather is so crap for the whole week as could of got out with my rcs.
peter
Maybe fit the hub extenders to improve cornering stability. They're dirt cheap on Ali Express.
Hey buddy thanks for commenting , yeah maybe look at something like that for it .
Its a awesome truck for sure and i think that its definitely worth some time and effort to make it flawless .
Stay safe
Chris :)
@@ChriswithaCrc You're welcome. There are various different sizes available whereby the 23mm set is a good choice for the DR8.
Very tempted for one of these. I have my crawlers rally car and mt10 but something about these. Think id be well happy with 2 good 2s batteries in it so i would lol time and w goid place to run it would be my problem 😄
Hi there 👋
There a awesome truck , so we'll priced and strong .
Most of all fast as hell .
Hard to be pushed to find something this good for the price .
Would 💯 recommend it .
Few little tweaks and there superb .
Thanks for watching and if your enjoying the content please consider subscribing.
Hope that your well

@@ChriswithaCrc thanks Chris next big rc purchase could definitely be this one! 👌
do you remember which hobbywing cooling fan you got for the motor ?
Hey buddy , I do yes
Here is the link 🔗 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/352761670295?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=b1UG2asFR5y&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=tujh-yrcStq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Now remember you will need to do some adjustments to it to fit correctly mind .
Like form around can , otherwise it will be to big and also remove a small part of the heatsink so it doesn't interfere with the centre differential cups .
Thanks m8
Hi how did you get it to fit it's quite a bit bigger than the motor can?
@@alexscott782 hey buddy take the fan off and gently squeeze it until it fits then put the fan back on is what I did .
Also I removed a little bit of the metal from near the driveshaft cup on the centre driveshaft.
Hope that this helps dude .
Thanks m8 did you squeeze it around the motor or squeeze it the check?
