Hey who has their front and back diffs

I personally don’t mind the noisyness of Arrma. My 3s granite is a little noisy too. But that thing is a friggin wheelie beast. That round bowl area where you’re driving looks fun as hell.

One thing I don’t think most people take into consideration with Arrma is just how much heavier their cars are compared to most other comparable brands at the same scales. My buddy has the 6s Arrma notorious. And it’s almost as heavy as my traxxas XRT. Heavy duty parts add weight. So a heavier car has more potential for breakage when jumping, crashing, etc, than others. So far I’ve had real good luck with my 3s granite and 4s outcast. Great video man.

I bought my car from Amazon drove probably 8 times then my esc burst into flames while the car was just sitting there from a lite drift run I did. Sending it back for a refund and I bought an infraction because there’s more stl downloads and options for the truck plus I can literally burn the wheels off in only 3 runs. Truly these cars go 60mph unless you wanna add the higher gearing and risk the fire anymore cause my car went into limp mode trying the higher gear

22 of 30 is a C. This truck should be at least a B (24). Which 1/8 truggies do you think are and A and B?

Newbie here. New to this and you're providing me a good education. Thanks

I really enjoy listening to these Q&A vids. I learned something that will help me while wrenching. Keep them coming AJ. Good job Bro. 🤙🏽

Subbed!

Good content and awesome video format. Keep it up, love it 👍

Fishing line works pretty well to tighten up stripped screws in plastic. Just put a couple of pieces of it in the hole/part and put the screw in. You really can't hurt anything and if you CAREFULLY start the screw straight, you might be shocked how much torque you can put on the screw without stripping it again. If you do, put more lines into the hole, and try again. I bought a roll of thin line like 20 years ago and I think I've used about six or 7 feet of it. Another thing I've noticed is a lot of people don't use the clutch on their hex drivers, they just lock it or crank it up to the max, and either strip out the head, or the part the screw is going into. I tighten up screws by hand, and run the clutch on my Milwaukee and Bosch drivers very low. The hammering will oftentimes get the screw started out without any danger of messing up the socket. Another thing that will help out people with stubborn screws and nuts, especially wheel nuts that the factory really goes over the top on is to buy a nutdriver with a bigger diameter handle. The small ones a lot of RC tools have make it really difficult, when the bigger diameter nut driver makes it easy. My Granite's wheel nuts totally stripped out the plastic wrench Arrma sent with the truck, so I bought a pair of cheap nutdrivers off Amazon for $6 each, and the wheels weren't a big deal at all to remove. The way the wheels are shaped prevented any of my 7mm(?) 1/4" hex drives from being able to go onto the nuts. I tried a half dozen and none were shaped correctly to get the nuts off. I saw a video on YT and just searched Amazon for the same driver used in the video, and they seem great for the price. Search for Auvotuis 7mm for the Granite, other sizes are available on the same page.

4:41 could also mean when screws back out of plastic that have never been taken out before, for example traxxas maxx upper hinge pin screws, the front right and rear left constantly back out

4:36 hey! That's me! Haha awesome man! And yeah, I did figure out the hard way that over time, the plastic does wear out. I have a little Hyper Go I never used power tools on but I just had to do so many repairs that I finally had to give in and find all the bad parts. Ended up scrapping it and buying a new one.. there were too many bad threads! ☹️😅 Thanks for the cool response AJ!

Whatever happened to the Team Corally Kronos and have you heard of the Team Corally Kogama ?

Just got one on order along with a set of maxamps 1090 batteries. was a tossup between it and a primal MT. Deciding factor is I can lift the DBXLE while the primal,,, not so much. Really looking forward to it. I have a MTXL gasser that I love, I just don't run that much any more because it's getting to be a bit of a rare animal.

garage life rc wing mount is AWESOME

ty great info and easy to follow

Thanks for a great review !!

That cheap shit they used to hold down the servo spring the screw pulled right threw.

Love my Kraton, still rocking the Gen 1 EXB. For my use its been faultless, smiles all day!

The UDR is my all time favorite RC.

So glad I found the video. Im a newbie, and I recently got this rc. I love but its just a little too slow. Thanks for the upgrade suggestions.

It actually has the 2000 kv motor not the 2200 kv. As far as I know at least.

Tag Arrma when you make these videos so they can know how to better build their rc cars !!! @Arrma I hope ya see this

All rigs will break and it's usually driver error. Usually when something breaks when it shouldn't have its from a previous impact that should have broke it but only cracked or weakened it enough for the next jolt to finish it off. What's unacceptable for me is poor design and engineering. Things like Traxxas electronics in general and proprietary parts, pieces, and plugs.

My notorious sounds like that out the box I wish they could of make these car with less noise make it sound smoother

Still got more questions

Always love the videos man!! Personally I’d rather hear you talk about the cars and watch you work on them with your experience and insight. If I wanna see RCs in action I’ll just charge a battery and go outside. But nonetheless love your channel!!! 👍

Hi AJ. It seems like your wife has great taste. Im looking to get into rc cars as a hobby and to be hunest with you this is exactly the rc car im looking to get..so im asking you are the Traxxas xrt good for a beginner car?

hi, does it not make the drive shaft too long? Thank you, great video

That's weird how loud it is. I have 2 K6's. None of them sound like that. Hmmmmm. I'd like to know what's going on there.

Oh yeah. The stock hubs and bearings on this rig are not very tough. But this is a 6S rig issue across the lineup. I just replace the entire hub with Hot Racing hubs. The HR hubs use oversized bearings. Reduces maintenance. Takes a bigger beating. Removes chance of having the ball pop out of the socket. And it it looks cool.

The solution for the drive cups is to install M2C RACING diff cups. Unfortunately this is common across the 6S lineup. Once you install the M2C diff cups you don't have that problem. Also even the EBS V2 you gotta remove the spacer at the end of the lower arm. Another issue is the stock shock cap bushings. They're a rubber sleeve style. And there's a lot of slop. Again install M2C delrin bushings. Problem solved. Realistically with any rtr that is mass produced you should be taking the diffs out to fill and or replace the fluids to spec or liking. All fasteners that require loctite should be checked. All before the first run. I still feel that this EBS V2 offers a lot of rc for 700 bux. Compared to anything else at this price point.

Mate I love your channel. One thing the new EXB needs is metal front hub's. Great video mate 👍 👌 💯😃

Funny you mention it being incredibly noisy. I thought I was the only one that got bothered by that. I bought the 6s Big Rock after it came out and dealt with the same problem. No matter what I did, I could not get it to quiet down. I finally got so annoyed I went back to the hobby shop in early April and traded it for a new one. I had also bought the Kraton exb and neither of these has had this problem however unlike the first Big Rock, for these two I have not changed the pinion gears. Never had that problem with the Talion or Mojave but I am wondering if these new ones don't respond well to pinion gear changes.

I appreciate all that you do for RC Regards, A Subscriber

Thank you AJ for what you do!

Do you guys at the channel have an email address?

Great video AJ. Have to agree with your assessment. I think there's too much of an assumption in the hobby that "bigger, 1/8 scale, and metal" automatically equals "fewer issues" and that's just not the case. Everyone I've seen who speaks honestly about this truck is having more problems with it than I have with my 1/10 scales that cost 1/3 as much.

Great stuff !! Just picked one up and have had the same issues. thx again !!

I have a exb v2 and after servo upgrades mount servo servo horn it's solid the wing mounts are unabtanium when they break and they break the wings are fragile replace the hubs with triple bearing hubs I love it it's a good build platform

Have to ask is this in Oregon. Specifically Central Oregon?

Im suprised that people are breaking drive cups on these. Mine have been holding up knock on wood. I did break a front arm that was my fault and I broke a rear arm on a bad landing. I changed the tires to db backflips just like them better.

My biggest problem with this has been broken arms. It's not a new problem with the platform but it's become less tolerable as more durable cars have come out. I think you're scoring is pretty fair though you might catch some flack from some other channels :-)

Bought same kraton here also...beat the bat out of it and still no problems yet...but of course my losi truggy will still spank this kraton lol....but I love arrma also😅

M2C Racing has Outdrive Cups in stock, my front OEM cups broke in the first two battery packs.

I bought that truck the same day I bought my Mojave 4s. I said to myself as soon as the Mojave breaks I'll open up the Kraton. It is still in the box.

Sounds like there's no fluid in the center diff. I bought same kraton and out of the box was perfect. No noise like that. I beat the hell out of it and have had no axle cup issue yet.

It’s whisper quiet.

Have you had an HoBao on the channel before. Iv heard they are very underrated.

Great videos. Just getting into rc cars and your videos have been very helpful!
