I failed to mention I upgraded the stock servo to a Hobbystar HS-6912 HV high torque setup 😍. WAY better steering. Had to use the bigger ARRMA servo mount tray and shorten the servo saver screw 2-3mm for proper saver tension. FYI...the plastic saver set plug screw is REVERSE THREADED👀. Must be turned clockwise for removal. If you attempt to run this servo without adding washers/shortening the servo saver set screw, it won't work. Guys have broken this screw trying to make it work full length. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Rich Duperbash i have a question about my arrma typhon v4 6s it makes a loud noise almost like something is grinding but i could not find anything too all differentials out new pinion loosed and tighten the sper gear and still cant find out whats going on so if you possibly know what it is lmk please
Same here. Rc juice is awesome. Bought the leapord 200 amp esc and 1000kv motor. I went with the 5892 be because i wanted a smaller /lighter motor. These bigger cans really need a rear support as the mount flexes. Also installed the hobbystar servo.
KILLER 8s hoedown Brother Rich!🤘 Nice test between motors and gearing as well!👌Insane rippin and airs!!😳 She's very responsive in the air for sure with that setup! Finally scored a HS 840 kv! Torn between so may motors but that is definitely more budget friendly!😜Also digging your results! Did that dude have Crawfish in there!?? wtf 😂😂😆That double backie was wicked!! Just love the potential the 8s has in her!!💪 Awesome footage with Aaron and Dave!! All you guys were killin it! Awesome vid my brother and take it easy!😎🚀🚀🤘🤘🍻
Thanks so much Brother Eric 😜!!!! Getting out there with Aaron and Dave was such a Blast 😱🤣🤣. The crayfish thing was a trip 👀. Can't imagine what his onboard footage must look like with 2 clawed "drivers" bouncing around 😂. The Hobbystar 56112's are a Killer value thus far 😍🥰🥰. I'm sure the 980 would be problem free with maybe a 32/39 set-up 🤔. For now I'm swapping back to the 840 34/34👌. It's just wicked all around especially with bigger meats. The Hobbystar 6912 HV servo is friggin AWESOME 😱. Big Girl turns 100% better and feels super responsive now. Experimenting the last several months has definitely paid off Bro. She's feeling stronger than ever. Really appreciate the kind words Eric. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Killer edits and wow some huge air time😱😱. Way to send it!! Awesome to see the comparison of the two Hobby star motors. 👍👍. Great Bash Rich!! Bash on 😎😎
Thanks Cam 😜!!!! Had a Blast with Dave and Aaron 🤗. Super fun construction site right next to our urban spot. I do have a decent stash of motors, but they all have a future home. Appreciate it Brother 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Good lord.. she sounded so Badass and Mean on the street there Bro 😱😲. Almost sounded like a Badass Harley flew by LOL 😂🤣. 60-65mph is just madness for her massiveness. Glad to see your gearing experiment working so we'll bro. Huge airs off the Ramp! I'm still in total amazement how awesome this truck have become. Props to M2C and Arrma RC. EPIC bash with the boys man.. Love the wide open spot to get wild at. Action pack session brother thanks for another killer upload.
Ive been waiting so bad for your video dear brother 🥰, the K8s looked planted as few, seems like overall the 840 is the pic. Awsome brother session Rich, i was smiling all the video big time, you all 3 sended them huge ❤. Take care brother, soeak soon
Thanks so much dear Brother 😍!!!! I had to try the 980 just to see 🤔. Great motor, but needs lower gearing to eliminate cog. Maybe 32/39T. I've decided I'll swap back to the 840 34/34 for now 🥰🥰. It's simply deadly on hard throttle 👀. Has such a Killer fun session with the guys 😜!!!! 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
***no crawfish were harmed in the making of this video 😅 Great video, Rich! I have the XL8S/2020 combo in mine and I really need to get out and test it. I ran it once and it was ungodly. Love your stuff, Rich. You're the reason I started with Arrma 😎👊👍
Really awsome Rich as always .with these big airs with rocks and dust flyin Nice vid again you re à master dude maybe one day ill be able to do 50% of your tricks 👍👍💪👏
Those LIVE crawfish will never be forgotten 😂😂 we have so much fun every time we get out there bro 🤟🏽👊🏼 best part is that we still have so many more summer days left ahead of us 👀 🙌🏻🙌🏻🍻🍻
Brother that was such a Killer time out there 😜!!!! You were Killin it both sessions 👀. Awesome to see the Notorious going full send off the big ramp 😱🥰🥰. That body looks so sick too. Can't wait to hook up again Bro. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊💪
Wow, Loved it! Perfect, I wanted to ask about Ramps, our only place to Bash is changing. Less Gravel and more sand hills, not a great mix when you try to retrieve a RC. So I can't build due to my Neurological issues anymore, any recommendations? I've beefed up my 4S Kraton a lot, for a first time tinkering I'm happy. Sean, my Guy at Hobby Haven made me a pretty good front bumper for it out of some Granite 3SBLX and a couple other parts. Just had to cut a couple slots for the body to fit. Anyway recommendations to order a Ramp from? Haven't really seen any at my store and we just stated talking about it. Wife knows if it breaks I'll fix it. Think I now have enough Arrma parts to build a truck from scratch. Great job, I like how you keep these bad boys going.
Thanks so much Harry 🤗!!!! I bought my plastic ramps from Discountramps.com. Not sure they still carry these. Tbone is now offering foldable ramps I believe. Might have a look. 🍻😎💪👊👊
That thing rips 😎👍 Can't wait to see what it can do when you get the gearing the way you want it. I gotta say, I have never seen crawfish in an RC before lol
Great comparison between the two monster motors! Looked like a fun multi-truck bash! 🤩🤩 The K8S is an amazing machine. I'm so glad I took the leap and got one 👍 Your videos on this truck are invaluable!!
Love the sound of that Kraton, unlike anything else out there, could be a sound effect in Star Wars! Actually sounds almost exactly like a Tie Fighter!
I'm running most of the M2C Racing Kraton 8s upgrades 💪. Chassis, motor mount, 8mm slide, shock shafts, pistons, and prototype suspension mounts due for release hopefully soon. Running Duratrax Six Pack X's, Hobbystar 56112, Max5 ESC, and Hobbystar HS 6912 servo. Here's the M2C link. Use the m2ccoupon code for a discount m2cracing.net/60-kraton-8s
Not that I'm aware of 🤔. GPM makes a hardened steel option that's slightly thicker in diameter. I'll probably just try them. Other thought is trying tool steel pins from McMaster Carr. They're not easy to replace, but it's doable. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Thanks so much Tony 😁!!!! The Hobbystar 56112 motors definitely have an aggressive sound 👀. Just brute power too 😍. Hope you're doing well Brother. Stay safe. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Rich on the hobbystar servo the only thing you had to modify was the screw? No shims or washers? I got the 1/5 servo tray and the hobbystar servo thats going in tomorrow night after work.
All I did was shorten the screw to fully close the saver assembly and get proper servo saver tension 👍. No washers or shims. Believe I also adjusted the steering arm length from the saver to the Ackerman for proper centering and steering throw 🤔. On a side note, if running the M2C chassis, make sure the inner edge of the bigger 1/5th servo mount clears the center M2C stiffener plate. I filled my mount just a tad cuz it looked like it was resting on the stiffener. You want the mount to bolt flat onto the chassis of coarse. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 thanks Rich. The only m2c part I have yet to buy is the chassis. Next paycheck I will be getting my chassis. I just got a second 8s that im trying to m2c out right now too. I can't get enough of there stuff.
Primalrc has a 56113, 960kv, 8 pole motor. I wonder if an 8 pole would help the clogging issue. Great driving. Fun video, thanks for taking time to post.
Thanks Brother 👊!!!! It's quite possible an 8 pole setup would help as although the relative RPM is reduced, the torque is increased with additional poles 🤔. Simply going down a couple teeth would definitely help. The 34/39 set-up is just a tad tall with heavier, high traction wheels. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Hey Rich hope all is well. I know this is old but I was wondering what your thoughts were on the hobbystar servo? I was wondering how it was holding up for you.
The Hobbystar 840kv is a Beast 😜. Yes....all Limitless spool gears are 8mm bore, fit perfectly on the 8s transmission shaft and motor. I recommend 34/34 gearing 👌. Best to use 2 standard length grub screws on each gear. I filed a small flat spot on my motor shaft to really lock in the 2nd grub screw. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Couple crayfish ziptied in the rc that's funny as hell 🤣 they must of had the ride of their lives "before becoming a sandwich" killer bash as always brother hope your all good in this crazy world right now! Thought i could hear something rattling around, must have been that dog bone because it stopped after repaired it
Awesome videos rich!! Now that you’ve had time to test several set ups, which motor/ESC/gearing combination has had the best performance? I recently picked up the K8S and LOVE it, but want to upgrade for the best combination of speed/torque while maintaining some wheelie power. I’d like to maintain a top speed of about 60mph and keep the fun bashability factor. Thank you in advance for any tips!!
Thanks so much Brother 😜. I'm currently running a Leopard 5898 1100kv with 30/39 gearing. It's got good power, but it's nowhere near as smooth as my Hobbystar 56112 980 or 840kv 🤔. I'm planning to switch back soon. Both the 980 on 34/39 gearing and 840 on 34/34 gearing are fantastic 😍. I think my overall favorite is the 840. It's got gobs of torque and is plenty fast on 1/1 gearing. Turns out I had a bad connection early on running my 980. The 980 has more top end, but the 840 has explosive acceleration. Either one is excellent with the right gearing (depending on wheel size and mass). Both push the heavier Kraton no problem. 😎💪👊👊
Thank you and which gearing would be good to keep the temps in check yet to have a decent top speed in your opinion? I'm in FL so trying to keep the temp down as much as possible
@@andruhanovo6583 the 840 works great with 34/34 gearing, but you can run 39/39 or some other 1/1 gearing in between those sizes. The 980 would probably be best to run 30/39 or 32/39. I run 34/39, but Sacramento heat is much drier than Florida.
I later realized I had a bad solder job with one of my connectors 👀. Since resoldering, the 980kv with 34/39 gearing has been flawless in my Outcast 8s 👌👌😎💪👊👊
Killer bash brother. I see your working towards perfecting the gearing on the K8S. Them fronties were sick!! And the second spot with the long jump over the mounds ramps on the lip was a great setup. Cool of your bro and buddy to add to the action with some Xmaxx and Outcast action. Some of those hits where you were running off the same time almost... 🚀🚀🚀😎👌 Killer bash as always brother Rich. I'm about to also build a M2C Outcast from the ground up....looking for ideas to tweek the specs a bit like hybrid style, shock towers, shocks, etc, anything that can be done to make it run better than stock besides the M2C supporting mods?? , like balance and fun tweeks?? And what power combo is a solid go to for big air and plant of torque? Them Crawfish tho🤔🤫🤭😆🤣😜.... Who does that? Thanks brother
Yes....these are stock CVDs. Mitch with M2C Racing got a new CNC machine that will easily make 4041 steel or Titanium driveshafts 😱. Might be a few weeks before the first batch, but they're coming. Much needed IMO for running big power without issues. 😎💪👊👊
Thanks Brother 🤗. I feel both are fantastic 😍. The Kraton is supreme for getting the power down and excels at rough construction sites. The Outcast is trickier to get the timing down, but is better for stunts and skatepark duties and is really wild fun 🥰. Both can bash all the same terrain, just comes down to individual preference. The Kraton is far more stable and drifts better. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Whats going on buddy I guess the hobbystars from those kv are outta stock and I recently broke my firma 1250kv 5mm shaft so I'm looking for a new motor setup would you say that gearing would still be good let's say a castle 800kv already have the 39t spur on the side ready to be put in?
Hey Robert 👊. I would run 39/39 gearing with that Castle 800kv 👍. Should have plenty of torque and top end. Still running 34/34 with my Hobbystar 840 in my K8s and love it 😍🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 ok sounds good and thanks for always responding to our questions really appreciate that that's what I like about you not afraid to share tips 😁
@@robertlopez9323 you bet Brother 👊. Only time I don't respond is when I don't see a notification. TH-cam is weird sometimes. Miss lots of comments unfortunately. 🍻
Excellent rich tests really excellent, without a doubt, with these settings and the k8s is really impressionant😱👍, those hobbystar engines are really powerful, it's really very responsive, you double backflip really easily👍🙂. I still mount the original smart combo, but I really feel that we lack the power, I'd like to try to test the engine you have of the hobbystar, I hope it won't cost me too much to get it here in Italy😛. As always big brother nice video and good tests🤘🤘🤗
Nice setup, lotts of power. what suspension arms do you use? My stock rear arm was broken within 10 min. Out of the box, after a small jump, Big disappointment😁specially there is nothing on stock here in the Netherlands.
Thanks Marco 🤗!!!! I'm loving this high power setup 😍. So sorry to hear about your misfortune with the arm. I'm still running all original stock arms since November 👀. I swapped a front I cracked after hitting a steel construction stake head on several vids back. I think part of my good luck (was first running lighter oils 30-35 weight) then adding droop screws to the arms and M2C 8s O ring style slotted pistons for better dampening with less bounce. If the shocks compress easier, the chassis does more of the work taking strain from suspension parts. 🍻😎💪👊👊
I would like to know how the engine doesn't heat up using these gear configurations! Because I use 35/39 with a max5 esc and a hobbystar 780kv and the engine temperature is over 200F 😕 Do you have any idea why this is happening? Thank you.
Quick question what ends u using on the motor end and esc 8.0mm or 6.5mm which I think going to use 6.5mm instead of 8.0 mm hope you understand me thank you
Sorry I missed this Brayson. Definitely want quality high discharge rated, higher mAh packs. I've had good luck overall with Hobbystar 8000mah 4s and more recently Zeee 7200mah 80c and Yowoo 6500 graphenes. I try not to spend a fortune, but go with what works and gets solid reviews from other basher's. 🍻😎💪👊👊
I am curious Rich, are you using the stock transmitter, or an upgraded one? What kind would you recommend? I have noticed you have complete control of your Kraton. You are the Bash Master, keep the videos coming!
Hey Tony 🤗. The 840kv is great on 1/1 gearing. I prefer 34/34 gearing. Some guys run 39/39 to utilize the ARRMA 8s 39 spur gear option. For the 980kv, I like 32/39 gearing. 🍻
Awesome freakin video my friend that K8S is bad bitch the Powa is just insane on that beast good Lord man i cant image how it drives very nice happy bashing my brotha👍👍🤙😎😛😜😝👊✌
Thanks so much Chris 😊!!!! Big Girl feels amazing with these high power setups 😱. Definitely keeps you focused 👀. Absolutely LOVE this 8s Beast Brother!!!! Props to ARRMA for such an awesome design and Mitch for the beefcake upgrades 🤗. Happy bashing my friend. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
I've had the same thing happen to my drive shaft pins on my 6s notorious i got some tooled bearing steel and cut them to length and pressed them into the drive shafts and never had a problem since👍 i run hardened steel thicker output cups also.
Thanks so much Brother 🤗!!!! I did try a drill blank replacement pin, but it wasn't the proper hardness and broke after 1 run. Ordering some from McMaster Carr. Really appreciate the input and tips my friend. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 thanks for replying my dude👍👍 looking forward to your next video. Also tell the bro with the outcast in the this video he was awesome at air control👍👍👍
I am too Brother 👀. This rig took some criticism, but it's still running stock arms, links, towers, diffs, bulkheads, driveline, plastics...etc. I've had some horrible stacks and it's done phenomenal for it's size 😍. Never imagined a truck this size could move and jump like it does with great handling. ARRMA deserves some kudos for this platform. 🍻😎💪👊👊
I meant to get to this video yesterday but man it was worth the wait.what an awesome bash.such a great video a great mash up of rigs.i would love to hit that spot up looks like an absolute blast.the k8s really soared man.too bad its cogging on you i cant wait to see that motor on some morr gearing.bet it stays cool. How do you like the hobbystar servo? I was checking sone out the other day.so does the dude with the slash have a channel? If he does please tell me its crawdadrc 😂
Thanks so much Nick 🤗!!!! Had such a Killer time testing the 980. with the guys 🍻. She'd probably run cog free - perfect with 2 less teeth. Does fine with the stock tires, but I like the meatier Duratrax lugs 💪. So far I'm loving the 6912 HV 🥰🥰. Plenty of power with perfect speed and responsiveness 👌. Only thing is it's not waterproof. The crawdad dude has a channel, but I forgot the name 🤣🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 do you ever waterproof servos? If you do what non conductive marine grease do you use. I have a sweet savox i have barely used because it too is not waterproof.ive kept my eyes out for a while for the right marine grease n havent had any luck
If you don't know or haven't seen Earl Mooreheads videos on TH-cam the most recent ones he is building his Kraton 8s and he has a tool that replaces them pins but one of the first thing he does on all of his RC's is replace them pins with stainless steel ones. And he shows the company that he gets them from too. Or u can find one of his most recent videos and ask him. He is very helpful and knowledgeable and will reply to you very quickly
Unfortunately that pin on the CVDS also breaks with the stock system and stock tires in my case. Hopefully m2c comes out with some killer driveshafts that don't do that and that don't bend like the stock ones 👍
I can't elaborate about it just yet, but Mitch is expanding his machining capabilities soon 😱. Should definitely see a solution to that problem in the near future 🤗👍👍😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 I just ordered some parts for my Outcast 8s from m2c. Some titanium CVDS with better quality pins would be amazing for my Outcast 8s. I would buy them instantly! I'm in the process of getting a max 5 combo with the 800kv hobbywing motor for my Outcast 8s. I'm going to try 39/39 gearing first and if that doesn't work, I'll try 35/39. Wish me luck!
This must be the strongest 1/5 scale rig out there. I really would like to see it on a race with it's Gas Powered brothers of the 1/5 scale league. 😘 I guess the lower kv might be the over all better setup but to be honest, I have no 1/5 experience at all ... Stay safe! 😘😘😘
Thanks so much Kimberly 🥰🥰. The K8s takes an impressive beating for sure 👀. She would probably do very well in a race. This 980kv is a strong motor with ridiculous speed. Just needs less pinion with the heavier wheels 🤗. The 840 is wicked on 34/34 gearing with no hesitation wide out. This rig has been a real learning experience. Thoroughly enjoying the process of fine tuning 😍. Hope you are well my friend 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊
@@Todd_G_FPV I haven't in a while cus of health issues but I have got plans to start posting vids again soon, thanks for ur support i'm glad u like them!
Yes. People will argue otherwise, but Teknos are designed for track use. They do make great bashers, but the driveshafts, diff case design, and chassis bracing is meant for racing, not hardcore bashing. Besides, Tekno has shown zero interest in designing one. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 thanks for answering sir. Good to hear that from you. I hope that Arrma will sell kits in the future, i am track guy searching for basher kit, new arr is pretty close XD

Not that I'm aware of 🤔. GPM makes a hardened steel option that's slightly thicker in diameter. I'll probably just try them. Other thought is trying tool steel pins from McMaster Carr. They're not easy to replace, but it's doable. 🍻😎💪👊👊
hey rich what did u use to connect that motor on the max 5? thanks
Omg Rich yours sounds like it has a engine in it 😱 unbelievable Fun all round Bashing video Rich. I enjoyed every minute 👍🇬🇧😍🇺🇸👍
Thanks so much Tony 😁!!!! The Hobbystar 56112 motors definitely have an aggressive sound 👀. Just brute power too 😍. Hope you're doing well Brother. Stay safe. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
Rich on the hobbystar servo the only thing you had to modify was the screw? No shims or washers? I got the 1/5 servo tray and the hobbystar servo thats going in tomorrow night after work.
All I did was shorten the screw to fully close the saver assembly and get proper servo saver tension 👍. No washers or shims. Believe I also adjusted the steering arm length from the saver to the Ackerman for proper centering and steering throw 🤔. On a side note, if running the M2C chassis, make sure the inner edge of the bigger 1/5th servo mount clears the center M2C stiffener plate. I filled my mount just a tad cuz it looked like it was resting on the stiffener. You want the mount to bolt flat onto the chassis of coarse. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 thanks Rich. The only m2c part I have yet to buy is the chassis. Next paycheck I will be getting my chassis. I just got a second 8s that im trying to m2c out right now too. I can't get enough of there stuff.
Primalrc has a 56113, 960kv, 8 pole motor. I wonder if an 8 pole would help the clogging issue.
Great driving. Fun video, thanks for taking time to post.
Thanks Brother 👊!!!! It's quite possible an 8 pole setup would help as although the relative RPM is reduced, the torque is increased with additional poles 🤔. Simply going down a couple teeth would definitely help. The 34/39 set-up is just a tad tall with heavier, high traction wheels. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Hey Rich hope all is well. I know this is old but I was wondering what your thoughts were on the hobbystar servo? I was wondering how it was holding up for you.
Woah! Do you live in Natomas? Ive been meaning to take my Typhon Truggy over there.
I'm just north of Sacramento. You should come out there sometime. Great spot to rip around. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Hello the 39T spur gear is 8mm bore, and the 34T 8mm bore aswell? I will be running a Hobbystar 56112 840kv.
Thanks man and keep up the great videos
The Hobbystar 840kv is a Beast 😜. Yes....all Limitless spool gears are 8mm bore, fit perfectly on the 8s transmission shaft and motor. I recommend 34/34 gearing 👌. Best to use 2 standard length grub screws on each gear. I filed a small flat spot on my motor shaft to really lock in the 2nd grub screw. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Couple crayfish ziptied in the rc that's funny as hell 🤣 they must of had the ride of their lives "before becoming a sandwich" killer bash as always brother hope your all good in this crazy world right now! Thought i could hear something rattling around, must have been that dog bone because it stopped after repaired it
Hello, Have you tryed the hobbystar 780kv? I have 1 but yet to try it out waiting on the 840kv to arrive.
Know I haven't tried the HS 780kv 🤔. Not sure I'd even seen it 👀
Awesome videos rich!! Now that you’ve had time to test several set ups, which motor/ESC/gearing combination has had the best performance? I recently picked up the K8S and LOVE it, but want to upgrade for the best combination of speed/torque while maintaining some wheelie power. I’d like to maintain a top speed of about 60mph and keep the fun bashability factor. Thank you in advance for any tips!!
Thanks so much Brother 😜. I'm currently running a Leopard 5898 1100kv with 30/39 gearing. It's got good power, but it's nowhere near as smooth as my Hobbystar 56112 980 or 840kv 🤔. I'm planning to switch back soon. Both the 980 on 34/39 gearing and 840 on 34/34 gearing are fantastic 😍. I think my overall favorite is the 840. It's got gobs of torque and is plenty fast on 1/1 gearing. Turns out I had a bad connection early on running my 980. The 980 has more top end, but the 840 has explosive acceleration. Either one is excellent with the right gearing (depending on wheel size and mass). Both push the heavier Kraton no problem. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 maybe I’ll try the 980 for a few more RPM’s but still good torque 😎.
Hey Rich just wondering What motor mount are you using with the 56112. Cheers mate
I'm using the M2C Racing mount with the standard 8mm slide (not the "big pinion" version. 😎💪👊👊
Wonder if you can fit a 56112 in a limitless?
Big difference between 840 vs 980 with this motor?
Both are great motors. The 840 is best for the K8s in my opinion having more max torque. The 980 is a monster in the O8s
Thank you and which gearing would be good to keep the temps in check yet to have a decent top speed in your opinion? I'm in FL so trying to keep the temp down as much as possible
@@andruhanovo6583 the 840 works great with 34/34 gearing, but you can run 39/39 or some other 1/1 gearing in between those sizes. The 980 would probably be best to run 30/39 or 32/39. I run 34/39, but Sacramento heat is much drier than Florida.
Did you find the gearing sweet spot on the 980kv motor? thanks Rich.
I later realized I had a bad solder job with one of my connectors 👀. Since resoldering, the 980kv with 34/39 gearing has been flawless in my Outcast 8s 👌👌😎💪👊👊
Killer bash brother. I see your working towards perfecting the gearing on the K8S. Them fronties were sick!! And the second spot with the long jump over the mounds ramps on the lip was a great setup. Cool of your bro and buddy to add to the action with some Xmaxx and Outcast action. Some of those hits where you were running off the same time almost... 🚀🚀🚀😎👌
Killer bash as always brother Rich.
I'm about to also build a M2C Outcast from the ground up....looking for ideas to tweek the specs a bit like hybrid style, shock towers, shocks, etc, anything that can be done to make it run better than stock besides the M2C supporting mods?? , like balance and fun tweeks?? And what power combo is a solid go to for big air and plant of torque?
Them Crawfish tho🤔🤫🤭😆🤣😜.... Who does that?
Thanks brother
Great bash !! Never tought of having passengers in that Kraton lol
Cheers brother 🙈🙈🤣
Thanks Stephane 🤗!!!! That was a trip seeing crawfish velcroed in to the seats in that Slash 😱🤣🤣. Guess the guy gets some crazy onboard footage 🍻😎💪👊👊
Stock cvds?? I see online now you could get titanium too, but the price is too much for me. 😩
Yes....these are stock CVDs. Mitch with M2C Racing got a new CNC machine that will easily make 4041 steel or Titanium driveshafts 😱. Might be a few weeks before the first batch, but they're coming. Much needed IMO for running big power without issues. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Awesome 🙏🙏🙏👍👍
legends
what are your thoughts on the kraton 6s vs outcast 6s in terms of driving style and uses
Thanks Brother 🤗. I feel both are fantastic 😍. The Kraton is supreme for getting the power down and excels at rough construction sites. The Outcast is trickier to get the timing down, but is better for stunts and skatepark duties and is really wild fun 🥰. Both can bash all the same terrain, just comes down to individual preference. The Kraton is far more stable and drifts better. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Whats going on buddy I guess the hobbystars from those kv are outta stock and I recently broke my firma 1250kv 5mm shaft so I'm looking for a new motor setup would you say that gearing would still be good let's say a castle 800kv already have the 39t spur on the side ready to be put in?
Hey Robert 👊. I would run 39/39 gearing with that Castle 800kv 👍. Should have plenty of torque and top end. Still running 34/34 with my Hobbystar 840 in my K8s and love it 😍🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 ok sounds good and thanks for always responding to our questions really appreciate that that's what I like about you not afraid to share tips 😁
@@robertlopez9323 you bet Brother 👊. Only time I don't respond is when I don't see a notification. TH-cam is weird sometimes. Miss lots of comments unfortunately. 🍻
Excellent rich tests really excellent, without a doubt, with these settings and the k8s is really impressionant😱👍, those hobbystar engines are really powerful, it's really very responsive, you double backflip really easily👍🙂.
I still mount the original smart combo, but I really feel that we lack the power, I'd like to try to test the engine you have of the hobbystar, I hope it won't cost me too much to get it here in Italy😛.
As always big brother nice video and good tests🤘🤘🤗
Do you know a promo code for M2C racing?
Yes.... it's on the website. "m2ccoupon". Good for 10% off all purchases. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Awesome bash video!! I love watching them all. Quick question! Do you know the speed of the car with that motor setup?
Thanks Roger 🤗. It's about 60mph. Plenty fast enough for bashing. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Nice setup, lotts of power. what suspension arms do you use? My stock rear arm was broken within 10 min. Out of the box, after a small jump, Big disappointment😁specially there is nothing on stock here in the Netherlands.
Thanks Marco 🤗!!!! I'm loving this high power setup 😍. So sorry to hear about your misfortune with the arm. I'm still running all original stock arms since November 👀. I swapped a front I cracked after hitting a steel construction stake head on several vids back. I think part of my good luck (was first running lighter oils 30-35 weight) then adding droop screws to the arms and M2C 8s O ring style slotted pistons for better dampening with less bounce. If the shocks compress easier, the chassis does more of the work taking strain from suspension parts. 🍻😎💪👊👊
That looks like fun 😃
Very nice 😀👍
Such a great rippin’ video 👍🤙
I would like to know how the engine doesn't heat up using these gear configurations! Because I use 35/39 with a max5 esc and a hobbystar 780kv and the engine temperature is over 200F 😕 Do you have any idea why this is happening? Thank you.
Hey William 🤗. You are probably undergeared with a 35T pinion/ 39 spur and 780kv. Really need to be closer to 1/1 gearing. 😎💪👊👊
With the 980 motor did you figure a sweet spot 31t?
Quick question what ends u using on the motor end and esc 8.0mm or 6.5mm which I think going to use 6.5mm instead of 8.0 mm hope you understand me thank you
Sorry I missed this Kevon. I run 6.5mm to mate with the Max5 ESC.🍻😎💪👊👊
Rich Duperbash thank you
Ultimate Bash bro..insane power and torq👊👊👊👊
Thanks so much Brother 😜!!!! Loving this Big Girl more and more each outing 😍. Hope all is well my friend. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
What batteries do you recommend using for the 800kv hobbywing max 5 setup with 39/39 gearing?
Sorry I missed this Brayson. Definitely want quality high discharge rated, higher mAh packs. I've had good luck overall with Hobbystar 8000mah 4s and more recently Zeee 7200mah 80c and Yowoo 6500 graphenes. I try not to spend a fortune, but go with what works and gets solid reviews from other basher's. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Thanks for the help
I can't believe the height and distance of those jumps. Have you measured the distance on jumps? Insane...
Thanks Doug 😜. I know I've cleared past the 100' mark for distance. Not sure on height, but she gets up there like the 6s rigs. 🍻😎💪👊👊
I am curious Rich, are you using the stock transmitter, or an upgraded one? What kind would you recommend? I have noticed you have complete control of your Kraton. You are the Bash Master, keep the videos coming!
Thanks Brother 👊!!!! I switched to an older Tactic TTx300. Cheap, simple, but good feel and range. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Thanks, I'm really digging the price. I believe I will buy it for my new ride. The Monster Bash!
Hi Rich what is the best gearing for this motor I order my today thanks
Hey Tony 🤗. The 840kv is great on 1/1 gearing. I prefer 34/34 gearing. Some guys run 39/39 to utilize the ARRMA 8s 39 spur gear option. For the 980kv, I like 32/39 gearing. 🍻
Thanks bro,🍻
As always, that was sweet
Where can I get the 8mm mod 1 pinions from
I use Saga Custom RC pinions. The cheap no-name brand off eBay don't last nearly as long. 😎💪👊👊www.sagacustomrc.com/store/p87/8mmboremod1pinion.html
What motor would you recommend for an outcast 8s exb out of these 2
I'd go 980kv all the way 🍻😎💪👊👊
What shock oil are you using?
I'm using 30-35 weight with M2C Racing pistons. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Awesome freakin video my friend that K8S is bad bitch the Powa is just insane on that beast good Lord man i cant image how it drives very nice happy bashing my brotha👍👍🤙😎😛😜😝👊✌
Thanks so much Chris 😊!!!! Big Girl feels amazing with these high power setups 😱. Definitely keeps you focused 👀. Absolutely LOVE this 8s Beast Brother!!!! Props to ARRMA for such an awesome design and Mitch for the beefcake upgrades 🤗. Happy bashing my friend. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
I've had the same thing happen to my drive shaft pins on my 6s notorious i got some tooled bearing steel and cut them to length and pressed them into the drive shafts and never had a problem since👍 i run hardened steel thicker output cups also.
Thanks so much Brother 🤗!!!! I did try a drill blank replacement pin, but it wasn't the proper hardness and broke after 1 run. Ordering some from McMaster Carr. Really appreciate the input and tips my friend. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 thanks for replying my dude👍👍 looking forward to your next video. Also tell the bro with the outcast in the this video he was awesome at air control👍👍👍
Im amazed upgraded or not that thing at 30lb+ can take that energy when it hits the ground.
I am too Brother 👀. This rig took some criticism, but it's still running stock arms, links, towers, diffs, bulkheads, driveline, plastics...etc. I've had some horrible stacks and it's done phenomenal for it's size 😍. Never imagined a truck this size could move and jump like it does with great handling. ARRMA deserves some kudos for this platform. 🍻😎💪👊👊
I meant to get to this video yesterday but man it was worth the wait.what an awesome bash.such a great video a great mash up of rigs.i would love to hit that spot up looks like an absolute blast.the k8s really soared man.too bad its cogging on you i cant wait to see that motor on some morr gearing.bet it stays cool. How do you like the hobbystar servo? I was checking sone out the other day.so does the dude with the slash have a channel? If he does please tell me its crawdadrc 😂
Thanks so much Nick 🤗!!!! Had such a Killer time testing the 980. with the guys 🍻. She'd probably run cog free - perfect with 2 less teeth. Does fine with the stock tires, but I like the meatier Duratrax lugs 💪. So far I'm loving the 6912 HV 🥰🥰. Plenty of power with perfect speed and responsiveness 👌. Only thing is it's not waterproof. The crawdad dude has a channel, but I forgot the name 🤣🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 do you ever waterproof servos? If you do what non conductive marine grease do you use. I have a sweet savox i have barely used because it too is not waterproof.ive kept my eyes out for a while for the right marine grease n havent had any luck
Some call it abuse others call it bashing! Looks like a fun day... we just beat the hell out of our trucks as well 🙃
When Rich Dupabash sends it......it stays sent
If you don't know or haven't seen Earl Mooreheads videos on TH-cam the most recent ones he is building his Kraton 8s and he has a tool that replaces them pins but one of the first thing he does on all of his RC's is replace them pins with stainless steel ones. And he shows the company that he gets them from too. Or u can find one of his most recent videos and ask him. He is very helpful and knowledgeable and will reply to you very quickly
Thanks so much Brian 🤗!!!! I'm all over it Brother 🍻😎💪👊👊
damn! big air :D great job man:) thumbs up
Thanks Brother 🤗!!!! Had a Blast with Big Girl again.🍻😎💪👊👊
nice! i wish i could bash like you
Unfortunately that pin on the CVDS also breaks with the stock system and stock tires in my case. Hopefully m2c comes out with some killer driveshafts that don't do that and that don't bend like the stock ones 👍
I can't elaborate about it just yet, but Mitch is expanding his machining capabilities soon 😱. Should definitely see a solution to that problem in the near future 🤗👍👍😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 I just ordered some parts for my Outcast 8s from m2c. Some titanium CVDS with better quality pins would be amazing for my Outcast 8s. I would buy them instantly! I'm in the process of getting a max 5 combo with the 800kv hobbywing motor for my Outcast 8s. I'm going to try 39/39 gearing first and if that doesn't work, I'll try 35/39. Wish me luck!
Rich Duperbash is the reason I bought a kraton what a driver he is unbelievable 👌👍🏼👀👀👀👀
🤤🤤🤤thumbs up! You are awesome bro😎👍👍👍
Thanks so much Brother 🤗!!!! Happy bashing 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊
Great video very inspiring. It inspired me so much I’m gonna go run my truck and break something. 😆
What batteries are you using? 8s 100cs??? Thats pretty fast for an 8s. Must be 100c’s!! Awesome bashing always love your videos pal.
Thanks so much Brother 😁!!!! I'm running Hobbystar 8000mah 100C 4s hard packs. 🍻😎💪👊👊
This must be the strongest 1/5 scale rig out there. I really would like to see it on a race with it's Gas Powered brothers of the 1/5 scale league. 😘 I guess the lower kv might be the over all better setup but to be honest, I have no 1/5 experience at all ... Stay safe! 😘😘😘
Thanks so much Kimberly 🥰🥰. The K8s takes an impressive beating for sure 👀. She would probably do very well in a race. This 980kv is a strong motor with ridiculous speed. Just needs less pinion with the heavier wheels 🤗. The 840 is wicked on 34/34 gearing with no hesitation wide out. This rig has been a real learning experience. Thoroughly enjoying the process of fine tuning 😍. Hope you are well my friend 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊
Damn, might as well be flying rc planes with how much time your trucks spend in the air 😂 effing sick man
Crawfish in a slash, dont see that everyday lol
Hey Steve u still putting out them sweet videos man? Haven't seen any pop up in a while

Fantastic Thrashing and Bashing 🏁💥🏁 Rich D. Sending that 8s to Orbit 🎊🌟🎊 Oops Anniversary Ed LOL ✌️😀👍 HFLPRCing RCF4L Stay Safe My Friend
So Rich, is Arrma better than Tekno?
Yes. People will argue otherwise, but Teknos are designed for track use. They do make great bashers, but the driveshafts, diff case design, and chassis bracing is meant for racing, not hardcore bashing. Besides, Tekno has shown zero interest in designing one. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 thanks for answering sir. Good to hear that from you. I hope that Arrma will sell kits in the future, i am track guy searching for basher kit, new arr is pretty close XD
