The slt3 doesn't have any sort of AVC. What is happening is the wheels are so heavy, that it is over powering the servo saver spring. I put a Kraton EXB servo saver spring in it, and it helped, but didn't completely cure it. Lighter wheels did, but then it isn't as precision controlled in the air.

You have the best RC videos on KZbin. You’re so much more likable than the typical other channels, never annoying, you don’t yell and act obnoxious and you don’t act like a know it all. I appreciate what you’re doing. Keep it up! What’s next for you? Upgrading any of your Traxxas models, maybe? The latest thing seems to be the Losi Super Baja Rey 2.0. It’s pricey, but it looks like a lot of fun and it’s different from everything else you have. For some reason - in my mind I was thinking construction of some sort was your day job, so interesting to hear you’re a graphic designer. Not sure why I thought construction...was just a hunch. An incorrect one, though.

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks. I just make videos I would want to see. I'm going to do some tuning and upgrades to this Notorious. I do graphics for fun. I actually drive a tractor trailer for a living.

[@MegaDeth859]

Just got my Notorious, dang it's a fun little truck!

[@donaldfowler7117]

Runs with my exb’s and keeps up no matter what I throw at it… 6S is the sweet spot for me, where “the fun lives” and the SWB Noto/Outcast rigs are their best stunt trucks. So much fun and surprisingly durable! The only thing that you’ll need to do, for skateparks even, is reinforce the body (fiber tape/shoe goo/flex seal combo is bulletproof) and then replace the stock shock stand offs with the EXB versions. The stock ones break fast with big air on concrete.

[@Custnam]

On my Notorious and my Kraton I ran 60K F, 500K C, and 30K F. Just a suggestion. Im glad you gave Arrma another chance following the V4 video. Although it took a lot longer than I think it should have at least Arrma finally listened and swapped out the electronics (especially the garbage STX2). I currently have the V4 Kraton with a ton of upgrades and may get some of the V5 parts for it to finish it off. But for now I have it perfect. Like I said I am running the above listed diff fluids, a 15T pinion with dual fans on the motor. When I first ran the 15T pinion the ESC was over heating and shutting down. What I did to fix it was install the stock Maxx ESC fan into the BLX185. This fan has a higher amperage and spins a lot faster and is a direct fit. Just had to swap the connector. That solved the over heats and its the perfect combo of punch and speed using the 15T pinion at Punch level 6.

[@erock412sb3]

AVC is the correction system. Its the last dial on the top right side where your other trim settings are on your transmitter. Thicker center diff fluid should help keep front tires on the ground and less ballooning

[@outsourcedrc]

This Notorious does not haveAVC

I bought a v4 Notorious in the beginning of 2020, and I love it. I'm not an RC expert by any means, but after a few upgrades (like the servo, servo mount, and new radio) it's incredible. I've sent it tumbling, I've sent it off dirt jumps, crashed it, brought it mudding, crashed it on asphalt, and I haven't broken anything luckily. Only thing is the knuckles for the tires keep coming loose, I have to tighten after almost every time I take it out

[@AhemAcousticJams]

It has a gyro for stability. I don't own it but you can check if there's a gyro dial that you can turn down or off.

[@outsourcedrc]

This one does not have that.

[@SebastianLong]

The stability management is AVC. It's spektrums version of TSM. The only ways I know of turning it off or lower is with something like the DX5C or better transmitter or install 2 bind plugs into the receiver, on in the bind port and one in the disable port (refer to the manual as I'm not 100% sure I said that right) to disable it completely. I have a DX5 Rugged and I turn it way down thru my remote so I never really needed to disable it completely. As far as the newer version of your RC, it's nice to see you are enjoying it more. Did you trade in your V4 or do you still have that as well?

[@outsourcedrc]

I got rid of the V4. This RC does not have that AVC option.

[@tomwilson7566]

What is the method for getting it to do the in air backfllips? Just full throttle once in air, then brake? I'm new, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks

[@outsourcedrc]

Yes pretty much. You need an RC that is powerful enough to do it though and it has to be set up to have the punch needed to do it. If you watch my Hoss Video where I show how to do tricks, I explain the backflips pretty well.

[@tomwilson7566]

[@outsourcedrc]

@@tomwilson7566 You can do it with factory settings. You may want to turn the punch up to like, 7

[@Basherqueen]

Hi! Seems that you are quite happy now with the new V5 👍 The TSM effect from the front wheels in the air comes from the type of tires. Nothing to worry about. On big big jumps it helps to keep the rig stable in the air. Looks odd, but when you land they are straight again. Punch 9 is a lot. I do my extreme jumps on level 4, how it comes stock. With 1,000,000 in the Center this rig makes standing backflips 😁 Over all this rig is intended to be a stunt truck. The Kraton is the same thing but with longer wheelbase and turns under power like you would expect. Also you can get the tires as low profile (from the Outcast 4S) with improves handling in terms of turning. Have fun and bash on! 😘

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks! I'll play around with the Diff fluid.

I run 200k in my center diff on my Maxx to help with torque loss because I’m running 26/46 gearing. It’s crazy that it still wheelies when going full speed if just barely tap the trigger. I did an 8s swap and it was just ridiculous almost did standing backflips with the wheelie bar on.

[@MrRiedemanJACC]

Love the video!! I'm so happy you got the v5 and like it. Looks to be a great fit for your driving style! Also, if you go thicker center diff fluid, you won't need nearly as much punch. It will change not only the launches, but how it flips in the air. The rate of change of the rotating mass of the front wheels in the air makes a huge difference in how it handles mid air flips. Once i upped my center diff fluid, double back flips became much easier. And I made a ramp based off of your 45 degree ramp. Also that front flip in the grass that was wicked cool happens super easy on this truck whenever you back out of the throttle on even a slight down hill. Keep on rocking on the videos!!! Love your channel and has helped me get through Covid!

[@outsourcedrc]

Thank you! I'm glad my videos have helped. Thats what I'm here for.

[@nevermind6853]

I own traxxas and arrma . When I got my v2 kraton I was amazed by its durability. My brushless erevo was a nightmare. Broke shafts all the time. Put mip shalfs in it then it would blow those little diffs they put in them. My favorite rc truck and buggy are kraton, notorious,4x4 slash,4x4 stampede, losi 5t, and hpi baja 5b. Both with full mod 34cc obr reedcase engines.

[@lloyderc]

The Kraton has longer wheelbase and it don’t push in cornering as bad as the short wheelbase

[@flyinryanmoto2640]

what one do you think is better, E-Revo 2.0 or V5 Notorious stock out of box? Looking to get a 6s one soon and deciding between them 2. Will be used for jumping and bashing,

[@outsourcedrc]

oooo Thats a tough one. I have only had the Notorious a short time. I cant really tell you how well it will do just yet. you may end up having to replace the servos on the E Revo in the first couple of months and you should really get the aluminum brace with limiting straps in the rear.

Glad you had a better experience this time 👍 If you go 500k in the center it won't bleed as much power to the front and you will be able to pull off standing backflips 🤩

[@tow_glinka3234]

Nice video 🙂 About the battery tray: Well, there are 2 sides of the coin. I fully understand your logic that it is easier to use on the Traxxas cars. On the other hand, one of the main reasons why I never considered buying a E-Revo (or UDR) is the Battery tray. I hate the idea of the battery tray limiting me to special Lipos from a special brand. I have 3S Hardcase Lipos that I use in every car. Nothing wrong with your point of view though, this are just personal preferences. 😉

Oh and you can fix the steering with some washers under the servo saver spring. Or get a V3 tube and a H.R locking collar (that's what I have). Hard to control. I run a Ti spool with 20/42 SAGA ⚙ being pushed by a tp 4260cm and CC MMX8S.😳 Now that's hard to control😉😎👊

I really like my e revo VXL 1/16 and was ready to go with the full size one. But I love the look of this Notorious and it seems a very good competitor... In hindsight, which one is best ? I search something fast, rugged, reliable and still precise to drive if sometimes I run on a track.

[@outsourcedrc]

If I didn't have a youtube channel, I wouldn't own a Notorious or a Kraton. Their drive trains just can't handle 6s. If you want to work on an RC all the time, then the Notorious might be right for you. I like my E Revo and my Sledge better.

I was really looking at the felony, but you got me thinking about the notorious. Great vid and happy driving!!

The wheels turn because of the Spektrum AVC (Active Vehicle Control) it’s used to keep you on your current heading, my father just got the Losi LMT Grave Digger and it has it too, I believe that it’s controlled by a knob on the control labeled “AVC”

[@outsourcedrc]

Neither the Notorious or the LMT have the AVC. They come with the same receiver and it does not have AVC on it. I even called Horizon Hobby and talked to them about it.

[@thefisherman1127]

@@outsourcedrc I looked at some forum pages about it and it didn’t have AVC active when it had the ADS-15M steering servo, the newest model has the SPMS652 Digital Servo which allows for AVC unlike the original analog servo. The other surface RC trucks that have AVC like the new Axial Ryft do the same corrections under power to maintain a straight line. I own an E-Flite Carbon Cub S2 which has a similar technology but they label it as SAFE technology which corrects the positions of the ailerons to make stable and level flight, very similar to the AVC in surface radio systems. I wouldn’t know any other reasoning as to why the wheels automatically steer to go in a straight line. 🤷‍♂️ Edit: I’m pretty sure the Losi LMT has AVC but doesn’t support it maybe due to an analog steering servo, because even the control (Spektrum SLT3) has the adjustment knob for how much you want the AVC to intervene. Edit 2: further research found that it needs the sport receiver to support AVC in the Losi LMT

Kraton 4s is a beast standing backflips for days

[@rcjoe406]

Been thinking about getting this how is it holding up

[@outsourcedrc]

It breaks constantly. I'd rather have an E Revo 2.0 over this.

[@rcjoe406]

@@outsourcedrc cool good to know

[@issaadams1837]

Spektrum has this technology called AVC (Automatic Vehicle Control) . Basically it is a gyro built in to the Spectrum SR315 receiver...

[@Anton-gz1go]

I like your videos because you always laugh in them! Seems like you have fun making them

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks! I try to always have fun.

[@justminifigs]

Haha that was awesome! Loved that flip of luck you had coming down the hill haha! 😂💯👏 Rippin through those leaves was cool too. Psh, who needs a rake? 😆 Glad to see you had so much more fun with the V5. That v4 might not be much DIFF-erent 😁 than the V5 if you get a new radio. Take care, looking forward to the next rip! 👊👊👊😈👍👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺

[@PopExpo]

Oh shit, peep his Stang in the background.

[@lloyderc]

It will do front flips on good ramp . But punch setting brings it alive

[@pewterngold]

Notorious V5 or the Maxx with the wide body kit?

[@outsourcedrc]

hmmm maybe the Notorious? I mean its a 6s truck vs a 4s

[@philbellavia1054]

I put 500k in the center of my kraton 6s. 60k front n rear, it’ll wheelie at speed and took a bit to get used to but now it double backflips off a small booter like yours with ease. Might be too much for the smaller wheelbase on the notorious/outcast

[@darrylsjodin7184]

I’m late to this video, but you did a good job! I have an older notorious with the old problems. They are probably not available any more, but I put an Axial Yeti buggy body on my notorious. It looks cool! I replaced all of the Axial stickers with Arrma and Amsoil stickers. The weird thing is the original Arrma body posts were all in the exact same location as the holes in the Yeti body, just slightly different hole diameter. Easy adjustment. It looks like a Yeti on steroids! I’d include a pic but I don’t know how. 🤔

Great vid man🤘🏼🤘🏼🇺🇲

[@sprc3352]

Now this is how your first review of an Arrma should have been ! Great job , I could tell 5min in you were very happy now . My V2 Noto ( tactic radio ) , has all the V3 chassis upgrades , I run mine with 20k in the fr / rr diffs , and 300k in the center , punch 5 . Perfect recipe IMO . Try on 4s , you'll love it to !! Wait til you ad the wide kit and metal shafts and hexes ,.....oh that's not this truck LOL !!!! I had the Maxx when I got my Noto , and it basically ruined the Maxx for me on how this is much more stable/planted/controllable/etc . It's to bad you didn't live close to me to let you try my Talion / Mojave / K8S to really see some of their lineup !!! Feel free to watch some of my vids .

[@outsourcedrc]

I'll check them out!

[@sprc3352]

@@outsourcedrc Looking forward to more vids from you with your new Noto !!

[@kenshin159]

I’ve seen a few videos on Arrma vehicles (like Kevin Talbots) and I’m glad I went with the E-Revo for my big purchase RC. I love bashing it and have no fear of losing radio control with my 2 year old nearby. I can send it on jumps and it’s built so well. I really enjoy your honest videos. Keep it up, I know it must be a good amount of work to put them together.

[@baymobbrcclub7426]

Who knows what pinion to install so it will do standing backflips?seems like stock pinion is kinda small.

[@outsourcedrc]

It does them with the stock pinion. Change your punch setting. Put it to the max and it will do that all day long, but you will destroy your rear diff.

[@marko123marki]

I like that you like it 👍love arrma cars
