Associated MT10 is good value. Hopefully RPM make parts for the MT8 for extreme bashing.
Not being able to do 40mph without crashing, is unacceptable. Especially from Associated, we all know they can do so much better!
I can’t believe how poor quality this RC is for the money, it was hardly extreme bashing. Imagine being that kid who waited ages to get a hobby grade RC car and it falls apart that easy. Saving up ages for replacement parts or upgrades, you would lose interest so quick in the hobby.
Exactly companies will never think like that. Such a fun awesome hobby but many burdens with payment and trial and error.
thats me, bought a cheap hobby grade rc car, the batteries died, then bought more batteries, they never arrived, bought more batteries just for the car to break
This is my arma granite…
Agree
But my first rc was a Stampede 2wd lasted 14 years raced it bashed it around some jumps and speed bumps never replaced a single part. Now I have me a slash and love it!
I've been waiting for this vidja for a while now. Knew it was coming.
I've got this truck, and at first I absolutely hated it. Once I found most of the weak points and how to make it a reliable rig, I fell in love with it like my mt10 that I've done a Lwb conversion on. Got a playlist on that conversion if interested.
To make this truck reliable you'll need the following redcat kaiju parts:
Front and rear control arms.
Front hubs and carriers
Rear hubs
Sway bars are desired but not needed.
Then you'll need arrma turnbuckles;
2 packs- 5x50mm upper camber links
1 pack- 5x64mm steering links.
Replace with these parts, and this rig will surprise you. The chassis is really strong and the diffs are very large. But sadly alot of other components were not well made. I've got a few videos about this truck and how to make it reliable.
These are the videos we love from you. You show the good and the bad of the products. Keep these types of videos coming out! Love them.
After owning the MT10 I was expecting good things for the MT8, however I'm very disappointed with the durability. They went from most durable budget RC to least durable. Great video kev
this just screams go with the mt ten or the traxxas max. from what I've heard they are the tanks of the rc car world.
WOW... the big brother was a total let down durability wise. Hard to tell if 4s would be the better power option with the parts breaking all over the car on what looked like a very tame landing. Definitely a back to the drawing board item. Needs more BEEF!! Great fun vid Kev !!! Keep them coming!
Had my eyes on this for a while, but after seeing the problems and your confirmation of them, I think I'll just go with its older smaller brother or maybe the new 4s outcast
The older one MGT was a beast
SAAAAMMEEE
cliff jones go for the new 4s outcast they are amazing I love mine 👍👍
The new 4s Kraton is much better than the MT8. The MT10 is a little beast.
@@motorworksproductions153 think I will
i love watching kev, im new to the hobby and this channel helps explain problems and other stuff with specific cars i want
Hello kev! . Greetings from Durham. I just want to say your videos are class, you always mix things up and the stuff you get upto is a lot of fun to watch . I've always loved all things RC , although I've not had many . Probably down to not being mechanically minded at all.
Strange thing is, when you are modifying,fixing or building , i find that stuff very interesting as well .
Your editing is brilliant 👏.
All in all mate , i just want to say a big thank you and keep up the great work......stu 👍
Hey kev, congrats with your monster truck I’ll be coming to see the show!
Deans was amazing! For a few days, lol. For me it was doing a loop in a Bixler RC plane, it unplugged during a loop, amazingly the plane glide for 5 minutes in a gentle turn, porpoising and landed like a champ all by itself. XT60/90 from then on, cheap lesson learnt!
Love the vids ur putting out man keep up the good work, your editing is getting better every video you put out. No need for rushing, keep up the good work.
That talking servo bit killed me. Absolutely killed me-
“Well hello little Ecoboost, are you alright?”
“NOOOOOOOO”
Honestly when he started to make it talk that was the first time I've actually felt sad for the little fella, never felt sentimental towards a servo but making it talk like it was suffering made me choke a little, funny shit though had me wheezing for air on my shop desk 😂
Bash .. meeeeeee!
That made me proper belly laugh
huge fan of the MT10 and easily one of the best 3s bashers out there but this thing is a disappointment.. shame as was waiting for this truck! Think the MT10 is still the king!! Cheers Kev 😎👍
Too bad Kev! It looked pretty cool and the power was insane! The gearing seemed to hold up well!? Maybe a longer chassis to hold the front down and XMaxx tires for less ballooning? Love the vids as always! 100 plus in Oklahoma right now so not much RC-ing going on besides watching you on TH-cam! Always epic though!
What JX servo do you use?? And what would you recommend for a 2wd slash & a losi tenacity 4wd???
That wheel whizzing off had me 😂. Fun stuff. 👍
This looks pretty dang sweet actually.. shame its a bit of a let down when using it 👌
And Deans plugs ..... 🔌 😑
It’s like they didn’t test the truck before releasing it. Traxxas and other top brands go by testing its like associated just made the parts bigger from the mt 10 and expected them to hold up to a 1/8th size truck with 1/10 durability.
Seems like a pretty good RC, it would probably be a great toy and hold up fine for the average, normal RC'er. As for being Kev proof... Is there anything that holds up? LMBO It is nice to see and know something's limits though.
Hey Kev! Another Great day at the track :) Did another Hydrodip the other day and came out pretty cool I think. Have a good one mate.
For the money kev i do believe that its “Epic”
6s with a rolling back-flip out the box is just what we need for $550(u.s)
Arrma has exploding diffs and Traxxas is hard to customize/upgrade and both are way more expensive.
Ive got both and defiantly need an MT8.
Good servo and smaller tire’s it’ll be wicked.
The redcat kaiju upgraded aluminum hubs and carriers work on this rig also the aluminum steering rack n the lower arms are a direct bolt on I also used arrma typhon 6s turnbuckles to solved that snapping issue hope this helps
Just make sure to leave one point of failure, or a pop-off point at a balljoint or youre gonna break something expensive eventually. There should always be one cheap part you carry a ton of spares of, or one break-away piece that can be popped in repeatedly, and you'll never have to replace the expensive shit. ;)
I like 3d printing one component about 15 times as a tray that way I know it'll break before all the injection molded parts, and only costs pennies to replace.
Can’t wait for a 5T video those parts look amazing
will the motor out of the team associated mt8 fit into the armour creighton exb because I have the mt8 and it just keeps breaking so I am switching over
Hey mate, I saw the Cison FG-VT9 on your bench. Great taste in engine's 🤓!
Love to see some more crawlers Kev. Maybe some extreme rock bouncing
The nitro Kyosho MP10 box is always there teasing us! Still looking forward to that build!
It’s great that you show how to fix the cars. Thanks for inspiring to make a TH-cam channel of my own. Keep up the amazing work 💯🔥
Hi kev. I watch your videos all the time! You made me get a xmaxx!!!
A little off topic but could anyone recommend the best place to get advice on what parts to buy to fix a HPI Savage? Killed 2 of the original castle ESC already
hey kevin I've had mine for a few months and unfortunately it broke after just a few minutes. RPM is probably in the process of making new Arms for the Rival. The pins in the Arms can be quickly replaced with your own 4mm spring steel pins. and the servo saver must be tightened significantly. I hope I can bash mine properly soon. Greetings from Germany ✌🏼
I’m using Redcat Kaiju arms, they’re definitely holding up better than the AE arms did
Yes Kevin rushed the review on this one or something. Didn't do much research on it prior it seems.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a follow video correcting this one. Sooner than later hopefully.
Rock on Team Associated.
Rpm aren't doing arms for the Mt8/ kaiju yet from what I've been told, associated need to reformulate the plastics, they may be fine for racers but not bashers
Half way down that Rd is a crossing across the stream. See if you can skim it across the ford.
If it fails I’d leave it in the drink.
Nice one kev 👍🏻
I feel like you need to lower the wheelie bar when doing speed runs so it might just bump onto the bar. Then again, with the way this thing seems to just spontaneously backflip out of control, it'd probably just pogo off the wheelie bar and launch itself steering-rack-first into the nearest tree.
The platform seems to have a lot of potential but there is quite a list of things that need doing to it out the box. It's massively over damped so the suspension takes all the load when landing. The shock oils need changing, extra holes need drilling in the pistons. The diff's need doing, very little oil in them. As you probably saw from the onboard cam the the body posts need cutting at the bottom as they actually hit on the suspension when the suspension compresses under load. It needs the arms and upgraded turnbuckles off the Recat Kaiju Also seems to work better on 4s. Think that's about it the chassis seems solid
which car is better you with. Traxxas maxx v2 or Rival MT8. thx
Glad you posted this I had this in my cart and figured I would see if you did a video on it now came to the decision to hold off for x-maxx.. thanks kev!
Hi Kev what do you think I am going to buy an RC car Rival MT10 or X-Maxx.
Loved it! Keep up the great work!
I don’t even own a RC car, I just love these vids, the carnage, and the tumble wumbles
Classic video man ... looking forward to the rebuild and break video ...
I see you’re rebuilding the losi 5t cant wait for it to be back together I really can’t believe the car got completely destroyed like that. This time I hope it won’t explode into a thousand pieces
Definitely seemed more usable on 4s . Loved the look of your face when you ballooned the tyres , I thought they were gonna pop . If the MT10 was a great car how have they managed to make the bigger one so poor in comparison 😕 . Fun vid Kev 👍
Because when you increase the mass of the car, the forces exerted on it are greater. You have to find a balance between mass and part size, otherwise things break because you cannot make parts too huge. Another thing is the flexibility of the chassis: if parts are too stiff, something becomes a weak point. One of the main reasons the X-Maxx is such a vastly superior basher to an 8S Kraton/Outcast.
@@rustler08 👍 .
6s is lunacy. 4s is so much better. I've ran mine hard on 4s and so far only broke the front bumper. I did a few mods recommended by other channels and it's been a blast! The other channels actually care to make the truck more resilient and definitely DON'T put a JX Ecoboost servo in them. The $20 Amazon servos are half the price and I still haven't killed one. My MT10 is still much tougher and I will agree with you all day on that.
because they didnt desing the mt10 , they bought it from another company ;)
I see its also very nice weather in the UK ☀️🌞☀️
Ooo I’m excited to see the new 4s arrmas!
I have a traxxa maxx and keep destroying my bellcrank/servo-saver. Any leads on a aftermarket?
Kev... thinking about getting a hobbywing max8 ezrun 2200kv motor combo for my 1/8 basher... you've had them on yours i believe.. do you rate it?
I really feel like this one has massive potential. I'd like to have one for sure to tinker with. I'm really curious about the esc and motor. Wouldn't mind plopping that in my arrma
@@Cloxxki I dunno. I'd have to get it in my hands. But at the initial moment it looks like just the servo, and the weak plastic pieces in and around the shock areas would need replaced with a more dense plastic. Or some type of lightweight metal
I am searching for the RC toy and watching your video is so funny. Thaks good video.
These are all feel good videos Kevin 💗
Will this servo fit in the V2 maxx?
I’ve had my eye on the mt8 for a while. I still have my MGT the original AE king. Guess they don’t make them like they used too eh. Good bash video though Kev. 💪🏼
Hey kev what editing software do you recommend for beginner youtubers. Was trying to use Imovie but I can't add music over my content.
Are you going to get the ZD Racing MX 07? I really want to know how it holds up and how it stacks up against the X-Maxx.
Does the eco boost fit in a Rustler 4x4?
yes!
What’s a good tv car for a beginner
6:25 classic arrma trick? When did they do that?
Can’t wait for that losi build so excited
How much extra would it add to standard-fit radial ply - limited expansion - tyres and even a smaller pinion - lower speed.
Is there a 'beginner's setting' and an 'unlock to speed doom' process?
Al.
Also i just bought mine and i need some help finding the right pinion gears and battery conversion.
What is the best budget rc car
Love ya videos kev . Always so entertaining mate .
Wheels of wheely bar is from the JLB?
Love your vids keV keep up the good work
You should check out one of the short wheelbase Corally 1/8 (dementor xp, jambo xp, etc.) They're on sale pretty much everywhere on and offline for $430-$440 USD. A great bargain at that price point I reckon. My chassis isn't even bent (yet) after I pulled a 35ft jump with a flat landing. They're probably more rigid than the long wheelbase counterpart Kronos you ran in the past. Also used a full size front diffuser support to make a steel center chassis brace because I wasn't sure about the angled plastic ones from factory
Should try put small lead fishing weights to keep the front lifting 🤔
ive been using those ecoboost servos in alot of my cars and race kits even. I think they are great for the money and fast enough for me. Im not one to spend $200 on a servo.
how many rc are there?
What are those tires??
Is the servo saver loose
Jaytee RC has taken his 4s Kraton and Outcast 6s. Can't wait to see what you do.
Hey man, Ur one of my favourite TH-camrs, I’ve recently had a cogging issue in my Traxxas Mini Maxx and I’ve been blowing hundreds of dollars trying to fix it, buying new motors etc. Since you have been in the hobby for many many years I’m wondering if you knew any way to fix it. Thanks for being my inspiration for the hobby.
New esc should Fix it
How come you’re converting all your lipos from xt90 to ec5/ic5? I’ve seen it for a while but haven’t seen why
they hold together better, and most of the cars a buy nowadays come with ic5
Nice video
What about battery maintenance
What servo did you use please
Awesome video mate! Love it. What a heap of junk that thing is LOL. Just bin it.
Always check your wheel nuts before bashing kev. 💥 Boom
Wow that’s a fantastic monster truck.
I like the guy with the SMAX, he seems really mature and like a dad for the channel. Stemp and Kev are the kids lol
the old 1/8 RIVAL with rpm arms etc was wicked durable and it was so friggin fun even on the track. just a few rpm parts and some aluminum shock towers and that thing was un killable
Anyone know what camera Kev used for the onboard cam on top of the shell? Thanks
insta 360 go 2
You're the best bro. Thanks again for all your vids.
And the frame took it!!!
Whoo.i think this is perfect.every rc needs some upgrades and the entry price is wayyy better than the competition.
The only thing better than Claire‘s laugh in slow motion, would have to be the face you make when you go full tilt to ballon the tires😂
Had one of those JX servos in my Kraton for a few packs. Yes they are pretty fast and powerful, but they do not, I repeat, THEY DO NOT like water!
Mine has died from water egress from when I assume I was cleaning the car. I did take it out on a muddy track with some small puddles but no submersions.
There is corrosion on the top position sensor wires and the lower main board with a small amount of moisture on the inside of the bottom cover.
I assume water got in through the bottom cover as this isn't sealed with a gasket/o-ring etc.
Either way - not super happy with them and have since replaced it (yet to arrived) with a different brand.
i was just watching the arrma senton and this popped up in recommended :D
Hahahaha metoo dude 😂😂😂
Interesting, those Reedy servos are usually pretty good. I have a couple in my cars and they work fine. Perhaps they had a servo that was too weak? 🤔
I think it has something to do with the steering geometry because he immediately broke another servo that doesn’t normally break
@@martinmang1 on point
Or over volted
We had the reedy servos fail within the first 2 runs on the mt10
I was gonna say is it a cheap reedy like having a Wal-Mart mongoose bmx over one from a bike shop
2:38 You had a perm, Kevin..? 😂😂
I hope the Ecoboost hasn't gone down in quality, I just had one do the same exact thing
I have a question. If I add one more battery on my RC car, will it burn or something else?
I'm buying one myself but I'm worried about the shit servo what comes with this stock factor car we see if its better then the mt10
I was hoping it would be as good as the MT10!
same!!
Great video as always, I my top picks for bashing would be Tekno, Arrma and Traxxas!
I'm going to acquire the MT10, eventually. It's bigger brother, here, appears to be garbage. I like models that don't come apart in their first runs. Team Associated should go back and try again.
It's rebranded, not a Team Associated product.
I really like the Ecoboost servos for looks and price but I can't keep one alive for more then 3 bash sessions
What .what the hell r the changes you find the wheel nut by the car
I love my taylor five t. I've got a 65 supreme in it and it's a powerhouse 100%. Best rc car ever made.
Hey Kevin love the videos, was just wondering if u could do a vid on the quakewave 2wd offroad buggy please
I love your content and I wanted to ask if you can test a RC car from maverick because I want to know if they are really durable for there prise.
