[@BarstoneRC]

[@Poppasmurf757]

Wow the fact u drop this video at 5:41 is hella funny 😂🤣....looks like I won't be getting any sleep

[@BarstoneRC]

Sorry man my times are totally different right now since I’m at the Olympics. It will get back to normal once I get home on the 10th

[@camaroboy383]

Glad your enjoying that rig man..😎

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah it’s a fun one buddy

[@therchotspot]

Love your videos man. Been subscribed on my other KZbin profile but subscribed with this one. Keep it up!

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks bud I really appreciate the support bud.

[@mithun0984]

Amazing as always, quick check.. What would be your present favorite basher 😁

[@BarstoneRC]

Ohh that’s hard but it’s a tie with the XMAXX and the outcast 8S EXB the Typhon 6s in 3rd

[@mithun0984]

@@BarstoneRC I just wanted to hear Xmaxx cause I'm going to get one soon and so glad you mentioned!❤️.. Thank you!!

[@SpeedSyko]

Awesome video Bars&Tone!!!! I felt the lower pinion was more controllable as well. Keep up the great work!!!!!

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks buddy I appreciate it

[@SpeedSyko]

@@BarstoneRC Anytime!👊💯

[@drroomba5045]

Awesome video

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks man!!

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Outcast ExB for the win 🔥

[@carlosspriggs8267]

Thanks for your feedback. I was wondering where did you get your 35t pinion. I bought one but it was way to narrow so I didn’t want to use it. Just trying to find one that is a 8mm bore. Thank you again

[@BarstoneRC]

I found most of mine on eBay and from a few companies but here’s one of them. www.ebay.com/itm/HD-steel-8mm-34T-MOD-1-M1-PINION-GEAR-TRAXXAS-OFNA-MUGEN-SERPENT-ARRMA-HPI-Losi-/333552114619?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

[@Bawla187]

Definitely a beast truck, great video. Brought me to smiles, what it's all about 👍🏾

[@BarstoneRC]

It is a lot of fun for sure! Thanks for watching bud.

[@onemansvideos2134]

Your end of video closing...the Rear drivers side wheel the tire looks to came unglued

[@BarstoneRC]

You are correct, I have re-glued it and will see if it holds together but I also ordered another set of tires.

[@atvacejoe]

If you had to have only the Outcast 6s EXB or the 8s EXB which would you rather have ? I’m looking at getting one of them but I only have room for one basher in my current living situation. I’ve had a Kraton 6s in the past but the outcasts just look so much better aesthetically!

[@BarstoneRC]

Well obviously there’s a big price difference between the two but if price is no option the 8S is awesome and so far it’s been holding up very well for me but the 6S version is a great car also. If I had both of them in front of me and I can only pick one I would take the 8S.

[@atvacejoe]

@@BarstoneRC thanks for the reply! Yeah price isn’t the limiting factory for me as I’ve saved up and sold old things to afford the price of the 8s exb with electronics or something of a similar price. Sadly with my current living situation I don’t really have room for more than one large basher. My heart says the 8s but the more space conscious side says the 6s which is the predicament !

[@deepvoice2652]

What are you gonna do to the suspension to limit the bouncing???

[@BarstoneRC]

M2C racing valve kit with 35 weight oil. Makes a big difference on the suspension

[@meanf1502]

That was a nice triple jump to your left what track is that

[@BarstoneRC]

It’s in Pennsylvania

[@dereknixon6206]

So are u still running the 35/39 gears? U find that the best? I’m about to put that same combo in mine

[@BarstoneRC]

I have sold the truck, but yes, I kept those gears on and they seem to work out pretty good

[@CommanderAstigRC]

What a blast with the Outcast 8s EXB brother. I think Arrma nailed with this version no doubt.

[@CorvetteC6-LS2]

Sr can I use the mamba xlx2 whit the catles 800kv ??

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah, I don’t see any reason. Why not

[@CorvetteC6-LS2]

@@BarstoneRC what about xlx2 whit hobbywing 1100kv? They don't match?

[@BarstoneRC]

The brand doesn’t matter. I mix brands with motors and ESC’s all the time.

[@CorvetteC6-LS2]

@Bars&tone RC ok that my questions thanks ... i think I want to go whit xlx2 whit hobbywing 1100kv...reason I don't want big motor

[@CorvetteC6-LS2]

Sorry for to many questions but i am new...🤷‍♂️ my last question motor the 800kv 2028 is more powerful than 1100kv castle???

[@navbes]

good evolution on the 8S rig, EXB is an awesome upgrade compare to the first 8S !

[@BarstoneRC]

Indeed bud. It’s a great truck.

[@elliotbaltazar]

Good video! Do you still enjoy this truck and recommend it? Seems reasonably durable.

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah I still have a ton of fun with this thing

[@elliotbaltazar]

@@BarstoneRC Good to hear! Chassis still straight? That's the only thing I worry about with a vehicle this size. EXB chassis is supposed to be tough though.

[@BarstoneRC]

I put an M2C chassis under mine

[@3SonsRC]

Awesome rip brother. Love my M2Cified O8S just an absolute beast on 800kb Max5 34/39....I might go a bit taller as it seems you have a bit more correction control than I have... Almost O6S type performance 😎👍 You lucky them tires didn't explode as I saw them gapping at the end 😉☠️

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah it really does have similar control as the 6S but yes one of my tires came unglued I’ve ordered a spare set for it to have them back up lol.

[@djh254]

Hey man. New subscriber. Do you recommend the xlx2 setup in this video? I just picked up a 8s exb outcast roller…. What is tip speed you get on this? Run time?what gearing are you using?

[@BarstoneRC]

So far this system has worked very well in this truck, but I’ve had a lot of bad luck with Castle, but I can’t complain about the system as of now. I’ve never tested the speed on this thing, but it has more than you can use. I’m trying to remember the gearing on this car. It’s the stock spur, but I went up. I think five teeth on the pinion.

[@carlosspriggs8267]

Hi love your videos I decided to subscribe! I do have a question I just got my outscast 1/5 exb and I already have the spectrum 1100kv motor and the spektrum 8s esc ( just bc I honestly have never had issues with spectrum) my question would you recommend the 35tooth pinion with 39 tooth spur combo? Thanks

[@BarstoneRC]

I’m really happy with that Geering on mine now I’m running the castle XLX2 System in mine but I think you would be really happy with it I haven’t had any overheating issues yet and it’s got great air control.

[@Addicted_2RC]

Absolutely a beast!!! 1/5 scale is just another level!! That light pole is gonna get it one day!!! I do love my 1/8 Arrma’s I feel they are the overall sweet spot for bashing!!! I still haven’t ran my Outcast roller but this weekend should be the maiden run. Awesome bash session. 👊👊👍👍

[@dirtbike9003]

You definitely send it! And your driving skills are awesome. Debating on dropping $750 on the Outcast RTR EXB today. Or the regular Notorious at $550....???

[@BarstoneRC]

Do you already have a 6S car? Or something similar to it already

[@dirtbike9003]

No 6s. Beating on my little Vorteks 3s for now. Got out of the hobby for a while, got sucked right back in...lol

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah then the new outcast 6s EXB rtr would be a good choice

[@inspiredrc]

Awsome rip buddy. Looked like fun! I knew you would like the outcast 8s. I have no regrets changing my kraton into an outcast..... I was thinking of going to 50wt In my exb shocks to deal with that kickback..... Hope your having a fun time in Tokyo 👍 stay safe bud...

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah I just ordered the M2C valve kit for this thing when I get home from the Olympics I’m going to put that in it help the suspension out on the K8S a lot so I’m hoping it will do the same for this.

[@joseCalderon1976]

I run 30/39 gearing with that same system and I feel it's plenty for me personally. I did have to add a fans on the motor during this insane summer here in south Texas though. Great bash! It's amazing how much torture this 30lbs beast can take. I strongly suggest that you put an extra battery strap across your batteries since I've damaged a battery when I had a horrible landing. One of the straps broke and the battery got ejected. Two straps is not enough.

[@BarstoneRC]

Thanks for the info bud.

[@Tegridy_Rc]

Hell yeah man great video! The 1/5th scales do seem to be able to run a lot better in that terrain

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah they’re perfect for the motocross track
