Why would you buy a brand new vehicle and then do work to it without even running it? That just doesn't seem to make sense to me. You should just buy a used one and make all the modifications you want but again this is your video and your truck.

[@stopmobro4332]

Such well produced videos man, deserves more clout

[@LVC_RC]

Thanks for the kind words. 👊😄

[@JesseBMotors]

These V5 Arrma’s are so nice.

Man that’s a great video with sharp 4K clear video frame 😀 I’m happy to see the blue color beauty really

[@phil726]

Great video bro 👍

Glad you liked it! Thank you. 😄

Thanks Roy! 👊😎

[@TylerSaleik]

Nice vid man. When are we gonna see the xmaxx again?

[@LVC_RC]

Thanks! I unfortunately sold the X-Maxx before getting the LMT.

[@stijnloos4659]

Why did you sell it mate? Not happy with it?

[@LVC_RC]

@@stijnloos4659 Not at all, it was an amazing truck. 👍 Selling it was a tough choice, but I wanted to make room for new vehicles.

[@donaldbarron7916]

Awesome show !! I love my Notorious. I have the black and blue body. I interchange between runs. This truck should get truck of the Century !! I drive it the most out of all my fleet. The sound brings joy to my ears. My xmaxx 8s is jealous. Its collecting dust.

[@LVC_RC]

Nice!! The best of both worlds. 😄 It’s definitely one of my favorites to drive too. Stunts are a blast with it!

[@rcmt2965]

Niceeee bro. That is an awesome blue color. Did you end up using the servo horn from your outcast since the new v5 cars come with a 23t spline?

[@LVC_RC]

It looks great in person. Yes, I forgot to mention that in the video. 😄

[@rcmt2965]

@@LVC_RC No problem dude. Thanks.

[@RCPropaganda]

I did not know they came out with v5 notroious, I wanted one but went kraton exb for more durability. Love then body of the notrious so cool.

[@LVC_RC]

They didn’t really draw much attention to it for some reason. The Kraton EXB was a great choice, that thing has some awesome upgrades on it! 👌

[@CoachD386]

Good video fam 💪🏾💯

[@LVC_RC]

I appreciate it!! 👊😄

Great looking truck I love Arma bashers they take a real beating sometimes we have 2 Krayton 1/8 my wife loves rc to especially her basher when she's madd at me we bash it out rc is good couples therapy lol 😉👍

Haha sounds like a fun time! 🤘 Bashing is perfect for relieving tension. 😄

[@LVC_RC]

Nice! Have fun with it! 👊😄

[@johnsabolesky9361]

what are the paddle tires on the old outcast ? brand size ? have u tried them on the notorious?

[@LVC_RC]

3.8" Pro-Line Racing Sling Shot tires on Raid wheels. They're discontinued, but the part number was PRO117910. I still use them on my Notorious and Kraton. 👍

[@scottthompson8274]

Great video and attention to detail with your setup, along with the servo and the supplied shims for the diffs.....I've got the blue V5 as well with the DX5C, and it rocks !!! Boogie on !!!!

[@LVC_RC]

Thank you! Glad to hear that you're having fun with yours. It's a great truck for sure! 👊😎

[@malcomcarrier4348]

insane truck

[@dijsjsjdjshsjjsjd6025]

How fast can. It go with and without speed pinions?

[@LVC_RC]

On 6S LiPo it’ll go around 50mph with the stock gearing. Not sure about the speed pinion though.

[@NeighberhoodRC]

Do you punch up the brakes and throttle settings?

[@LVC_RC]

Just the throttle punch setting to max. 👍

[@NeighberhoodRC]

@@LVC_RC my servo keep moving with the steering mount out of no where and I change it to aluminum mount and it’s stills wobbles with servo so I barely get steering is it something else I have to change I’m new to the rc hobby and learning from different people need help with this issue

[@LVC_RC]

@@NeighberhoodRC It’s hard to say without seeing it unfortunately. If you’re running a plastic servo casing, it’s possible that the servo tabs are flexing. Otherwise, the stock servo saver in the ARRMA 6S lineup is on the softer side, so upgrading to something like an adjustable Hot Racing servo saver helps tighten up the steering.

[@concettaabate1650]

Is it necessary to put the differential shims?

[@LVC_RC]

No, but it helps a lot of you are running on 6s. 👍

[@lifestylebyav5683]

Awesome vid man...cool truck as well 👍👍. Any suggestions what other lexan bodies could fit Notorious.

[@Cooldibs]

Would you recommend I pick this instead of the the more expensive outcast exb? Thanks !

[@LVC_RC]

For casual bashing, I'd say this RTR is a better bang for your buck. The EXB's upgrades are definitely nice for added reassurance, but they aren't required for what most people are doing with these vehicles in my opinion. 👍 Have fun with whichever you decide to go with! 😄

[@GreatLakesRC]

Good looking V5! Will be curious to hear how the new chassis design holds up 👍

[@MetalHeadRCGarage]

Sweet truck!

[@LVC_RC]

Thanks! 👊

[@klampfinger]

Hi. Why have you changed the servo? Is the original S652 a bad servo?

[@LVC_RC]

I had the one in my Kraton burn out after a few months. It’s a good servo when it works, but I had this one sitting around from my Outcast and figured I’d use it right away. 👍

[@miketube6662]

When u changed the connectors on truck where does the temp wire go Iam thinking if doing the same as u Is it straight forward

[@LVC_RC]

I just cut the small wire a little shorter and put heat shrink over the end of it. 👍

[@miketube6662]

@@LVC_RC oh did u not reconnect it

[@LVC_RC]

@@miketube6662 No

[@miketube6662]

What servo horn did u use for the savox as its 25 tooth

[@LVC_RC]

An ARRMA aluminum horn from my old 2019 Outcast. 👍

[@samcrow1071]

How much does it cost the price you never say the price

[@LVC_RC]

The truck is currently $570. I never say the price because the price changes as time goes on.

[@brockwerder4020]

What size shim did you use?

[@LVC_RC]

I think the included shims are 13x16x0.2mm.

[@brents4225]

I shoulda bought the blue!!!!

[@MrBlaktoe]

It's a great truck. I love mine. I've broken 2 wing mounts and currently have the RPM mount installed. Also beat the crap out of the front bumper and have the RPM mounted there too. RPM 81472 still fits the blx with a little modification, but you can get the EXB front bumper for almost the same $$, if you can find it. I'm really a terrible driver at this point. lol

[@LVC_RC]

Nice upgrades! That RPM wing mount works great, I used to run one on my Outcast. 😂 Practice makes perfect. Thanks for taking the time to watch! 👊😎

[@philipbrits2984]

Great video man! Would you prefer the Notorious V5 or the kraton V5

[@LVC_RC]

I enjoy stunts, so I’d have to say the Notorious since it’s a shorter wheelbase truck. 😄

[@philipbrits2984]

@@LVC_RC I think for me I wpuld go with the Kraton. Just because I can put the power down easier 😁

[@underfeed]

nice vid. Hey whats your rough run time with the 6s in this beast? cheers in advance

[@LVC_RC]

Thank you! I’d say close to 30 minutes of hard running maybe?

[@underfeed]

@@LVC_RC awesome. thanks for the reply

[@littleskyrcchannel4044]

How long time can you running ? My nortrous just 10 minutes😓

[@LVC_RC]

About 25-30 minutes on a 6800mAh 6S.

[@littleskyrcchannel4044]

@@LVC_RC I'm using 3s 5200mah x 2. It should be 10000mah in calculation 😭 Is it a capacity scam? The name of the battery is Youme power.

[@LVC_RC]

@@littleskyrcchannel4044 The Notorious actually runs a series circuit, so you have twice the power instead of twice the runtime. The two 3s batteries you’re running would be equivalent to a single 6s battery voltage, but you still only have 5200mAh. Running a parallel circuit would give you 10,000mAh. It all depends on how hard you run the truck. 5200mAh should usually get you more than 10 minutes of runtime, but if you run in cold weather, you can expect less.

[@littleskyrcchannel4044]

@@LVC_RC Series and parallel😱 Is that what you meant! Thank you very much!

[@manuelsumaker2845]

Hi, I'm hesitating to buy the notorious v5 or corally's sketer, please can you give me your opinion on quality and fun, thanks

[@LVC_RC]

If you’re in the U.S., I’d recommend the Notorious. There’s better aftermarket support for ARRMA trucks in the states. The Notorious is also slightly more durable from my experience. If you’re in Europe, I believe Team Corally has better parts support from what I’ve heard.

[@manuelsumaker2845]

@@LVC_RC Hello, thanks for answering! Last night I made the order from Spain, there is an offer from a German store at 467 euros. It is elv5. I also bought 2 6200 mah 80c batteries on ebay. I have several doubts, if you can help me, it is the first time i get into electric rc cars. 1-did I do well to buy from this rating of batteries? 2-can you put both at the same time in this case? 3-can you tell me which improvements to buy that are worth looking for. 4- some model item to cool the engine if necessary. I'm excited for it to arrive and I want to prepare myself hehehehe thank you very much

[@LVC_RC]

@@manuelsumaker2845 As long as those batteries fit, they should work well. The ratings that you mentioned sound good. You can run 1 single 4s LiPo with the included jumper, 1 single 6s LiPo in the truck with the jumper, or 2 separate 2s or 3s LiPos without the jumper. I have a review video of the Notorious that goes more in depth with upgrades and details: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZjLd5uni7uJiLc. Have fun with it!

[@handballfield6326]

Ha! i've bought these same cars recently and they didn't let me down. Of course Notorious is a class of its own, with great handling due to short wheel base and tires. I have light bashing untill now, with only a few wheelies, but someday i will go to a skate park (im a bit sorry to put it in such a field though). Also, the bodyshell of Notorious has impressed me.Its very robust!

[@PetiLouis]

thank you very much for your video which is so good. If you had to keep just one between kraton V5 and the nortorious v5, which one would you keep ? thanks

[@LVC_RC]

Thanks for watching! I’d probably keep the Notorious since I enjoy doing stunts. 😄👍

[@PetiLouis]

@@LVC_RC Thanks for your answer, I've been tearing my hair out for days because I can't decide between kraton and notorious :D

[@tshellycreations9059]

Great video as usual! Would this servo upgrade work on V3 Big Rock.. ? Also is there a metal servo bracket made like this for The Big Rock? Thank you for a great channel!!!👍🏻

[@LVC_RC]

Thanks, I appreciate it! I'm not sure about the servo mount, but the servo upgrade itself should work in a V3 Big Rock. 😄👍

It really depends on the condition of both vehicles. If you’re confident in it, the Notorious is a fun truck. If you enjoy stunts, you’ll love this platform. 👍
