ARRMA 1/7 "ORANGE DARLING XL" Ultimate Speed Basher?

Sometimes you want to go fast in style, with superb handling and serious bashing potential. Here's a detailed look at the Orange Darling XL. She's the big sister to the original Truggified Typhon based Darling from years back. Huge thanks to M2C Racing, Voltage Hobbies, and Basherqueen for the incredible upgrades that take these ARRMA platforms to the next level. Big thanks also to GameChanger RC and Fast Track Hobbies in Rocklin, CA.

[@Basherqueen]

Guys definitely check out Mike's GameChangerRC ultra high performance fan systems. That are not only different fans like all others. Nope, that are totally well though out active cooling systems. Totally next level. 👍👍👍

[@richduperbash2966]

Couldn't agree with you more Kimberly 😍. I had to see it to believe it. The cooling his fans provide is absolutely ridiculous 👀🍻😎💪👊👊

[@DominiKing86]

I have the 3 & 1 Typhoon V2 set-up from GCRC and they're absolutely epic! I'm going to try the Low Profile 2 fan set-up for the motor next, it should fit better with my stock Fireteam body. Once you try GCRC, you won't go back to anything else! One question, who did you get the ESC fan mount from? Basherqueen or GCRC?

[@Basherqueen]

What a beautiful build. All the good stuff from what's on the market. 👍👍👍 Can't wait to see it in action 😘

[@gamechangerrc4633]

Thank you for all you do Kimberly. I really appreciate you and your quality products 👊👊💯💯

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Kimberly 😍🥰🥰. Your top brace is so much stronger and lighter than stock it's absolutely Crazy 😂. To see your CF frames on Mike's awesome fans was something else 👀. What an incredible setup!!!! Huge thanks to both of you for offering top notch parts that make a serious impact on performance. 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

KILLER build on the Orange Darling XL bro!😱💪She looks absolutely sick and ready to thrash! Love the body too! The Orange darling lives in Mammoth form!🚀😜Love what Mike and Kimberley are doing with the fans! Way to go to beefcake a fan for hard bashing! Just installed one on my Vorteks and in my K8! Can't wait to see it rip man! Awesome group bash at the end! 7:07 almost looked like a head shaver!👀😂 And 10:20 was Sketchy AF!!😱😂😂Killer street drifting with the Infraction! Nice to see it back out! Awesome vid bro! Take it easy and talk soon!😎🤘💪💪🍻

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Brother Eric 😜!!!! Really appreciate your feedback regarding the top brace with this build 👌. It's Crazy how little play the front driveshaft has 😂. Been wanting to do this project for months. Finally putting my older spare upgrades to good use again 💪. Huge props to Mitch, Kenny, Mike, and Kimberly for what they do 😍. Being able to run how we want with their upgrades is priceless. Had a Blast getting out with the boys again!!!! Rain and crazy winds couldn't stop us from having fun 🤣. Aaron's new Habao build is so friggin Sick 👀. Can't wait to get out again Bro. Really appreciate the kind words. 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

I just love your fricken videos Rich. Absolutely amazing compilation of bashing. That first spot was pretty rad. You’re one of the biggest reasons I became infatuated with this hobby! Still goin strong having more fun than I’ve ever had. Thx for being there for the hobby man, for real! Y’all sendin those machines like no ones business. Even your flails are fricken epic. The pit! So much awesome action. Really enjoyed every minute of that. And thanks for sharing that build and all the tips. Cheers!

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. Nicest comment I've read in a long time. I'm super grateful for our bashing brotherhood and community. Such a fun outlet to share with each other 🤗.

Definitely going to try Mitch’s new beef cake shock setup! Pretty cool seeing you use those loud “jet fans” rich 🤣 nice to see 2 business become 1 to put out even better products for the bashing community!

[@richduperbash2966]

Heck yeah Brother Dave 😜!!!! These ultra beefcake direct fit 7mm shafts are like a dream come true 😱🥰🥰. Something we were suggesting for months actually 😉. I have to do some bench and field testing to gauge the cartridge internal tolerances with the spacers, O rings...etc. Once we're happy with oil retention and all around performance, it's gonna be game on Brother 👊. I don't think bendage will be an issue 😂. Props to Mike and Kimberly for teaming up with the fan designs. Hope we can hook up again soon Brother. Been too long already. 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

I done something similar to my Granite I got the 1972 Chevy C10 Vaterra body shell on it. Interco proline 2.8 Super Swamper tires with the 6x30 to 14mm aluminum adapters on the raid Rims. Motor is a 4276 2200kv big block Surpass hobby turas rocket sensored the esc is a Hobbywing Quicrun 10BL120 3s. I do got the max 6 esc that will go in it later this week. Integy green full aluminum motor mount. I got the full aluminum integy suspension kits I got two of em one all green and one all silver. I got the integy aluminum bulk heads and the aluminum shock braces. Proline shocks atm. GPM cvd slider shafts I got a custom aluminum center drive shaft we made at my dads machine shop. And we made a stainless steel chassis skid plate then put the arrma Skinz joker skin over that. It's got a Integy 20T pinion and a steel 57T spur atm I got diff sizes to try out lol. I got the GPM aluminum yolks green for the diffs and hot racing diff cases and steel ring gear left the stock metal ones and then steel inputs ect. All the gears in it are steal. It's unbreakable basically it's taken some serious hits and jumps and nothing has broken or bent yet.. and I'm building two other bashers from the ground up a Kraton 4s chassis ect but it'll be 6s I got 8 or so LWB Arrma 3n4s chassis laying around and also a bunch of SWB 3sn4s ones. So I figured I'd build one from the ground up lol. Then I decided to build a outcast 8s from the ground up. I got the aluminum chassis ect. I got everything to do it and 3D printers and access to the machine shop so I can build all my parts if I needed to lol.

[@Bstallday89]

I love my XL talion. But that Kraton suspension is looking good!! even better I know what I’m doing next, and I def agree with running tower to tower brace, I’m running a titanium chassis on my Mojave with a hotdog custom Kevlar brace. And with the titanium towers it’s SOLID!!!

Love it shining under the bright Sun 😎. Appreciate you highlighting the the use of T2T considering little play of the front center shaft man. Mine is bowing after some wanky landings. I'm super pumped about the ultimate beef K8S/O8S shocks kit. Awesome multi Rig bash as always brother. Stay safe and bash on brother

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Brother Chris 😜!!!! Your build and James 8s monster were HUGE inspirations to try out this wheelbase 😍. Truly appreciate the tips Bro 👊. I can credit Brother Phil for turning me on to this orange years ago with his Killer speed run bodies 🥰🥰. The C-10 long bed is a wee short, but it fits truggy style just fine. I like that it hugs the side guards nice and tight. The prototype ultra beefcake M2C 7mm 8s shafts are a perfect fit and did Fantastic yesterday 💪. I'd been praying Mitch would take this idea and run with it. The cartridges spin on and lock down perfectly. Hopefully get out again tomorrow for more tuning. Really appreciate the kind words Brother!!!! 🍻🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

I can 100% recommend getting a Talion 6s 😍. She flips a lot easier with Badlands 3.8's or Backflip LP's. The stock Talion tires are fast AF 👀 but harder to rotate.

Awesome truck bud. I want to build one now. can you post a parts list of the stuff needed to duplicate your build

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks Brother 🤗. I'll work on adding a parts list to my vid description. Best way to build is starting with a Kraton 6s and swapping on the M2C Mojave chassis, Mojave/Talion chassis braces, and Mojave front center driveshaft. Those are the essential bits. Mojave side guards and a long enough body are the finishing touches. 😎💪👊👊

[@anchorserik]

Hey dude how’s it going? First off let me just say your videos are honestly insanely killer!! I’ve literally been involved with this whole RC thing for about 4 months and I have a v5 notorious. But in that 4 months I’ve already upgraded it with the M2C chassis, shock towers f/r, zrs shock system, f/r chassis braces, and the other brace on the rear shock tower, f/r hinge pin kits, 4 of my 6 out drive cups because of your videos!! My question to you is, I just recently upgraded to a max 6 combo with the 4985 1650kv motor but was also thinking about grabbing a hobbystar 4092 1730kv. Was wondering which motor you like better, and which do you think has more power? Also wanted to ask you about gearing, currently I’m running 50 spur with a 18 pinion on my HW 4985 1650kv. Is there a better/get the most out of my motor gearing I should check out? Any info would be killer dude, thanks in advance! If you’re ever in Detroit and wanna bash the ghetto/dodge stray bullets let me know hahaha!!

Great video! Sorry about the offtopic but are you planning to get the Arrma Vorteks and give it a proper Rich Duperbash testing on a skate park?? I was planning to get the Big Rock but the Vorteks is much more to my liking but I would love to see how it performs in your hands before making the final decision

The Vorteks looks like an absolute Ripper 😱. Not sure if I'll grab one though 🤔. Kinda holding out to see what might come down the 4s pipeline 👀. My 3s arsenal is already vast. We'll see, but I do think the Vorteks would Kill it at the skateparks. 🍻😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 Thanks for the reply! I appreciate your work very much you're one of my favourite RC youtubbers! Shame you're not getting the Vorteks but maybe time will come for it so you can test it out :) Wish you all the best!

It truly is Brother 😱. Kimberly only uses high grade CF. Crazy strong and super light. 🍻😎💪👊👊

[@colorado_a3766]

Amazing vid as always brother! I have a question man, I was really wanting to make a Kraton xl. Would your recommend piecing it together and buying parts individually, or buying the Kraton exb and then just getting the Mojave chassis, shaft and braces? About to pull the trigger and it’s funny you made this vid! Thanks again man!

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Brother 😜. It's often cheaper to get the truck assembled, either new or used off the Facebook sell/trade forums and just grab the parts you need. Every situation is different, but there's tons of small parts and hardware to consider if you do a complete scratch build. 🍻😎💪👊👊

[@sakfpv8444]

Hey rich, I have a 3s big rock that I'm converting to a typhon 3s, but I like the width of the outcast 4s. Can I put 4s arms on the 3s chassis? Its hard to find those parts, but if I can I'd like to do it

[@morenoclint]

I need to do this, with one of my kratons!

[@MrAmrasElensar]

Nice build! But I thought the Savox 1230SG was not waterproof? I mean it's not part of their blue waterproof range? Perhaps I'm wrong?

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks Maarten 🤗. You might be right about the 1230SG 🤔. It could be just splash resistant. I have hosed my truck down without any issues thus far anyways. 🍻

What colors did you use to paint this? Love that reddish orange color!

That's Tamiya PS-24 fluorescent orange backed with white. 🤗

[@xXYannuschXx]

What springs are you running on this thing? On my V4 Kraton the stock springs simply arent enough anymore to get the front end up.

[@richduperbash2966]

I borrowed these shocks from my Limited Edition Outcast. Just added the M2C ZRS set-up (caps and pistons). Pretty sure they're the same spec as the Kraton springs. If dialing down your shock collars doesn't help, you might need fresh springs.

[@rccrazy]

Hey buddy just a quick question, what pinion size are you running? because I'm using a 4082 1720kv 6s, but running a 20t pinion, is that too much?

[@richduperbash2966]

I normally run a 20T with my 1730 4092 👍. I'd start there and just check your temps to be safe. Should be plenty fast. 😎💪👊👊

[@jordanritchie2198]

Hey I see you did something different with the rear shock stand offs. Can you let me know what you did please? I guessing you did it because the m2c stand offs come in contact with the body?

[@richduperbash2966]

I used M4 button head screws instead of the grubs and M4 nuts. These are the previous version M2C standoffs. The latest ones are solid, one piece hardened steel. 🍻😎💪👊👊

[@seanmccormack5888]

When will those 7 mm shock shafts be available??

[@richduperbash2966]

Hopefully soon Sean. We're just starting the testing phase now though. Not worried about fitment or bendage really, but sorting out cartridge O ring and spacer tolerances. There's an ideal tension on the O rings to avoid leakage, while still allowing optimal stroke and uninhibited shock action. I'm making it a priority to get these dialed as quickly as possible 👌. Test 1 went excellent yesterday. The design is absolutely Killer. Just sorting fine details before Mitch goes into production. Thorough, systematic stress testing is the only way to assure solid performance. 🍻😎💪👊👊

[@davidchennellsjr.6799]

Is that hobbywing max6, 1650kv motor combo enough for standing backflip on my kraton 6s.

[@richduperbash2966]

Most definitely David 👍. Just depends on tires and traction. I honestly don't recommend doing them though 👀. Albeit fun, they're hard on the diffs. 🍻😎💪👊👊

[@davidchennellsjr.6799]

Wasn't thinking about the next weak link. Thank you for heads up. I put on the backflip lp 4s tires best change to the truck so far. Thank you for recommending them to me. Even before venting tires there was almost no ballooning.

Why don't you bash your Tekno anymore?

[@richduperbash2966]

My MT41O has been collecting dust 😝. Actually just got a new 7075 front brace for her a few weeks ago, but still need to replace the electronics I borrowed out of her. Mitch's original M2C brace was 6061 and I finally broke it under the top plate through the bolt ring. Hopefully get her rebuilt soon. I think I got so busy testing M2C ARRMA prototype parts, the Tekno simply got pushed aside. You'd think they'd release an updated version by now 😂😎💪👊👊

[@Cardiakk]

@@richduperbash2966 Good to know that it wasn't due to breaking. I want to build a bulletproof NT48 2.0 when it releases but skeptical about how it will hold up. I've never owned a Tekno.
