Nice presentation, subscribed. As for some protection, i use plumbers tape for the nuts, and clear sticker protection for the "key" spots for the body to avoid too much scratches and breaking.
@inspiredrc Күн бұрын
Thx dude. Great idea for the wheel nuts! I may have some plumbers tape lying around. Will try it next time. Any kind of reinforcement for the body will prolong its life. Luckily, these bodies aren't expensive. I tend to shoe goo all my bodies and have done for a while. Seems to help a lot.

I bought this for mt Kraron 6s exb and it didn't fit. My wing is a one piece and doesn't have that removable center section. Any ideas?
@inspiredrc 20 күн бұрын
Hi buddy. Sounds like you have the new version, kraton exb. Unfortunately, arrma has redesigned the wing, and so this wheelie bar doesn't fit. Unless you cut your wing mount, there isn't a way to attach. You could temporarily attach using thick zip ties. Still waiting for Arrma to release a new wheelie bar to the new version. I suspect it will come when they release the new outcast 6s exb.

@inspiredrc 29 күн бұрын
Hi buddy. I'm not 100% sure but flashing red is usually a binding issue, but I feel a solid red may mean the esc may be faulty. You do get 2 years warranty with all arrma cars. If you're in the UK, then I would give logic rc a call. They carry out all the warranty work for arrma and are very helpful. In the USA its horizon hobby.

HOW TO FIX XMAXX SPUR GEAR ISSUE.. Replace motor with spectrum 1250kv with the 8mm shaft (This is very important). New Aluminum motor mount to match the motor.. and mod 1.5 gears. Trust me.. Long as you do these 3 things and mesh it correctly your gear issues should be GONE. I dealt with this a long time and my issue was the stock motor.. the shaft was not only slightly bent but also the plastic motor mounts where they bolt to the factory plastic motor end caps on the stock motor would constantly loosen up just a tiny bit which would constantly change the mesh from too tight to too loose. Once I did these upgrades after trying everything under the sun for over a year all my issues were gone. Just be sure to get decent quality mod 1.5 gears such as the GPM Spur gear or other hardened gear matched with a GDS Pinion gear as GDS makes the best pinions.
@BiffsEquipment Ай бұрын
If any of you have issues where your mesh feels tight and then loose again and then tight again this is almost guarenteed to fix it. Also while your in there just be sure to double check all the screws on your cush drive ensuring they stay tight.
@inspiredrc Ай бұрын
I agree, buddy. Flexing plastic is the main reason why gears get stripped on the xmaxx. Poor quality traxxas gears don't help also. Your solution it costly, but will fix the mesh issue for sure👍 unfortunately I couldn't afford to invest that kind of money in my xmaxx, so I had to find a cheaper solution. Tbh, the spectrum 160a esc is perfect for this rig. I actually have one ready to drop in my xmaxx. I have also had good luck with the gds mod 1 spur and pinion. Don't get me wrong, i am a fan of plastic but not everywhere on the car. I feel the motor mounts and spur assembly along with the front and rear differential housing should all be metal as standard. Just my opinion. 🙂 Thx for the comment, dude 👍

Bro rn I’m on 30/39 gearing and it’s a monster lol I was gonna ask are the belted masher tires a good upgrade for it I already popped two tires 😂 what’s another good belted tire upgrade ?
@inspiredrc Ай бұрын
Nice brother. I think the small spur is the way to go with kraton. Belted mashers or belted proline badland mx43 are peoples choice for the high gearing on this car. Personally, I like the look of the mashers over the mx43, but I think the mx43 may be able to handle the power better. I know some youtubers with 12s conversion upgrade opted for the mx43. I expect the bead-loc design will help keep the tire on the wheel. The badland mx43 are designed for the xmaxx though. I advise doing a little research to see if proline make a version that fit directly on the kraton. Failing that you can drill the centre holes out to fit the arrmas as well.

@inspiredrc 2 ай бұрын
Hi buddy. New these 8s arrmas are tanks. Once the hinge pin braces start becoming worn out, the pins tend to break. It's an easy fix. Just upgrade to solid 7075 blocks front and rear. I found I broke more pins on the kraton rather than the outcast.... Could be down to the extra weight the kraton carries. Ear plugs in the kraton is defo the way to go👍 100% agree the outcast is SICK! love mine! I prefer it over the kraton. You do get used to bending drive shafts on 8s arrmas, unfortunately. Again, no big deal. Happy bashing!

If you stick to the stock electronics, the drive train on the xmaxx will hold up for the most part, but as soon as you upgrade, expect to start breaking gears.

@sunnyv1281 At the moment, I've got 19/50 in my xmaxx. Just because that's all I had available in my parts draw. I haven't had any issues with it. I'm based in the UK, so the weather isn't usually an issue. Maybe that helps with temps as well. My advice is to try 18/46 and see how it performs, then maybe go up a couple of teeth on the spur. Really, it needs a max6 combo to make it come alive. You can even go 22/50 depending on whether conditions. To bash a big rig well, you want to get it to 50mph+ in my experience. I can get backflips on 18/46 though. 👍

@thepatternforms859 it's hard to decide which better hence why I have both. Personally the shorter wheelbase makes the outcast more fun. I can get a double backflip with the outcast where I only get a single backflip with the kraton on the same jump. The outcast wants to wheelie alot which make it difficult to get it to turn as the front wheels are always lifting up. If you like to do speed runs the kraton is better at it being more stable. I prefer my outcast as I like to jump my rc's and its more suited for that. Tbh from what you said the kraton will fit your bill. In the future you can ear plug the center diff to help with stunts and wheelie. If after that you still have the outcast itch it wouldn't take much to convert the kraton to an outcast.....
