Arrma Fireteam beginner tips and upgrades!!!

[@rogueFactor]

tell me that thing doesn't rollcage like a rollcage master! landing my bashers on an incline is soo much easier on the shocks and a-arms btw. every break i've ever had was on a flat landing crash. the Backflips will dig into the A-Arms eventually so might want to put some hextenders on them.

[@midwestern_rc]

Great tip! I didn’t know that! I have even thought a 5mm widening kit would really help this thing handle bettter

[@rogueFactor]

@@midwestern_rc yass! Even just the hextenders on it will give it a better stance. I lost most of my recordings a la broken SD card. that's why there isn't much FireTeam footage on my channel right now. 😕

[@andrewtexiera2858]

I got the white one another thing u can do is throw on kraton hubs and axles to give it a wider stance and more durable bearings

[@midwestern_rc]

How’re you liking it so far? I’m still shocked mine hasn’t broken

[@andrewtexiera2858]

Oh it’s insane this thing is so underrated for sure I haven’t even put the kraton hubs and axles yet cause nothing has broke lol

[@suburbanlab]

The Fireteam is our first 6s and we re thoroughly enjoying it so far. Glad I found my way here and thanks for the info guys. Great video for us beginners

[@andrewtexiera2858]

@@suburbanlab the cool thing about the arrma line is any piece from other cars fit so you can basically make something if you wanted

[@suburbanlab]

@@andrewtexiera2858 I'm learning that Andrew. Im assuming not all parts from all 6s or 8s Arrmas fit the fireteam but is there a safe assumption for a model or is there a model like the Mojave that all parts are interchangeable?

[@clairecooper3848]

Yup great info 👍 I bought the white one too (easier to see) I’ve done the m2c shock upgrade and am liking it a lot . Totally ❤️ the Fireteam 😎

[@midwestern_rc]

I can’t wait for it to snow! I have paddle tires for it I’m looking forward to making some snow bashing content 😬😬

[@ValkyrieIA]

Appreciate the video. First RC and was looking at Xrt but the 399 sale price had me go Fire Team. Probably going to get a Felony or Infraction next to leverage the battery investment. Video was perfect timing.

[@midwestern_rc]

The fireteam is an amazing RC in general and very beginner friendly with how durable they are and mod friendly. I wanna get a road car but it’s winter here in the Midwest so I’m gonna wait until spring

[@rmohawk141]

New to the R/C thing here. Saw the crazy videos and had to try. But I'm gonna go ez for now lol. I got the black. Lot of the videos I've watched had good tips but u add a little more detail that I appreciate. U got a new follower!

[@midwestern_rc]

Yeah trust me man take it slow! Ease into the super fun stuff and enjoy developing the skills and take care of the cars and you will love the hobby! And I really appreciate your feedback man that’s the best part of doing KZbin 🤝

[@chrisginoc]

This video is a year old, but it’s honestly the best starter/beginner video out there. I’ve been debating between a Kraton, Fireteam or Mojave 6s and can’t make up my mind. The only RC I own is the Typhon 3s and two Mojave Groms. Would you recommend the Fireteam over the others?

[@midwestern_rc]

Yeah the body from the fireteam is so much more beginner friendly. I’ve had the thing since they came out and I still haven’t broken anything besides having a pillow ball pop out which is an easy fix.

[@chrisginoc]

@@midwestern_rcWould you recommend running the Fireteam on 4s? Do you think that would still be fun for someone like myself?

[@midwestern_rc]

@ 4S would still be fun and a great way to learn bashing. 6S is a lot on these cars they’re very fast with 6S. If you do go 4S I would still do 500k in the center diff

[@yodecaf]

@@chrisginoc The transmitter has a 50-75-100 switch. I always switch it to 50 around my small backyard and lettting my kid run it.

[@chrisginoc]

@ I ended up getting a Kraton 6s and learned that quickly

[@phatphlap]

I like to run the gens ace 8000 bashing packs. fit is snug but it's the longest runtime you can get on 6s

[@midwestern_rc]

I didn’t know they made 8000mah 6S packs ima have to look into that

[@phatphlap]

@@midwestern_rc I run 2 3s, should've been more clear

[@gonzodetroitify]

@@phatphlap how much runtime on those d’you get lake child and what gearing you running if stock system pls

[@phatphlap]

@@gonzodetroitify I'm running a 13t pinion with stock spur on the stock system and I can get 25-35 minutes (I think, never timed it) depending on how hard I push it. It feels like an eternity. Even at full throttle it just keeps going and I haven't had any heat issues in any part of the system of with the batteries on a 13t pinion.

[@gonzodetroitify]

@@phatphlap hey Lake Child so I use those gens ace in. Savage flux xl with Alza centre diff and set lvc to low on a new G2 max8 2250kv combo and get about 30/40 mins so am hoping the same in the fireteam if not more as the system I think is less total power and draw than the combo I’m using now Hopefully tomo I’ll try out the gens ace lipos and see how long I get But I do get what you mean as it feels like an enternity as on the blx 185 combo indeed that it does feel like forever And always then only find out I’m only at 3.6/7 per cell and that system goes into lvc at 3.6🔥and I think I’m at 3.2v lvc on the Hobbywing combo 😂😂😂

[@TheBroCohen]

What are the motor temps like with the new fans installed? Thinking about getting new fans and was wondering if these ones are worth it? Also is it easy to installed? Love the vids!

[@midwestern_rc]

Never gets above 170 and that’s with the speed pinion. Really easy to install and haven’t broken after probably 30 battery packa

[@TheBroCohen]

Awesome! I think ill get it thanks@@midwestern_rc

[@JHarris]

You mentioned you'd add a link for chassis and center braces? Or am i missing that somewhere? Also, I bought one of the all black ones. So much fun!

[@midwestern_rc]

amzn.to/3GNbYJ8 Hey my bad. The chassis braces were sold out on my one website I had when I posted. But this is basically the same thing 🤝

[@JHarris]

Fantastic! Thanks!

[@ricodelara6854]

Great tips. I've been looking for ramps like yours. What is the brand and where are they sold. Thanks!

[@midwestern_rc]

They are “kryptonic” ramps. Not sure if they’re still out there or not as I got these ramps off of offer up 2 years ago for 10$. So try fb marketplace or offer up and search skate ramps. You’d be surprised what you may find!

[@samtronicsvideo7232]

Thanks for the demo and great tips… question…. Are you using only one of the 6800ma batteries, or do you have two connected together? Thanks in advance…. Kindest regards… Ron

[@midwestern_rc]

Just one 6S 6800mah LiPo 🤝

[@eride_aiden]

I had two bad experiences with with the same lady each time because she said the sand I was driving in was making it hard to breath even though no one else complained and the wind was blowing it the opposite way. But every other experience has been positive and people like the cars.

[@midwestern_rc]

Some people just hate when others have fun!

[@Xbandit27]

Thank you so much for sharing those upgrades and tips… Very useful video and much appreciated!!! Hey, love your two little ramps!!! Lots of fun and quick action with them…Where you get em?? Any link for ramps will be also very much appreciated🤙👍

[@burn1gotbeats]

good tips 😎 i have the Black version still in the box can’t wait to run it.

[@midwestern_rc]

You’re going to love it! One of my most favorite RCs ever

[@Dos_Rc]

Great video however the motor doesn’t have a sensor attached to it so it won’t hit thermal cut off the esc will hit thermal and if the esc hits thermal usually that motor is so hot you can burn yourself on it or cook bacon 🥓 on it lol great video bud keep ‘em coming I like how you explain things

[@midwestern_rc]

I didn’t know that! I’ve burnt myself on a few occasions when other trucks have gone into thermal and I decided to feel the motor (before I bought a temp gun)

[@gonzodetroitify]

Was this run on stock bearing midwestern 😎 the amount of pounding they took here😏💯😎

[@midwestern_rc]

Stock bearings yea. Since this video I have had only one bearing pop out

[@gonzodetroitify]

@@midwestern_rc same here luckily enough one had spares from infraction bearing kit😁 only thing I think is too much play from out the box ON the wheels axles in/outwardly Tho shims will do nicely once I find the size

[@joebobrc1504]

I've got both colors. Lol. Bought the white one first and couldn't pass on the sale and got the black one.

[@chinoa4188]

The RC is cool and all but that 2.0t thoo😍

[@midwestern_rc]

Thanks! It was an amazing car and so fast for what it was. I traded it in in July and have a white 2021 civic type R now 😬

[@chinoa4188]

@@midwestern_rc the 2023 one is amazing I’m honestly thinking of doing the same thing🙏🏼!!!

[@onemansvideos2134]

I run the same lipo in my kraton xl it's a very tight fit

[@midwestern_rc]

Yeah. I have their HV advanced 6S batteries too and it’s an even tighter fit

[@onemansvideos2134]

@Midwestern_RC I wish arrma released a wider battery tray for the 6s line

[@onemansvideos2134]

@Midwestern_RC i might have to see if I can get a losi dbxle 2.0 battery tray to fit I have 2 in my infraction already

[@chuckstromain]

for $400 bucks they are fun around the neighborhood and minimal bashing. ive broken 2 of the steering tie rod ends (wheel side) when hitting a small kicker ramp. and it only comes as a set of all the tie rod ends and body mount, oh ya..... the body sucks and front shock tower bends easy.. i run zee 7000mah 100c and the power and speed is awesome. overall good around the neighborhood vehicle. needs work before ill call it a basher. broken ball cups, a-arm ball has poped out, front shock tower bent. all after about 10 packs... i call this a win, but not entry level...

[@midwestern_rc]

My chassis has a slight bow to it now and yeah the body panels aren’t the strongest but besides that zero issues. About 28 packs now.

[@rogueFactor]

wow! every one of these points is soo great! C rating is important! yes!

[@themadscientistg7804]

I got the whait one at a pawn shop for $200😮 I know right? And it runs great, other than cosmetics, structurally 100%.

[@midwestern_rc]

You got a great deal! I am glad it runs great for you.
