AWESOME!!! ARRMA Fireteam 6s Stock vs Modified Family Rip

Shout out to my son Andrew for finally getting back out to rip around with pops. I'd still argue the 1/7th Fireteam is one of the funnest rigs ever. What an awesome fun family bash!!! If you're into great times and family fun mark your calendar for the 2nd annual Sacramento Valley RC Fest April 6-7 at beautiful Folsom Lake. Last year was crazy fun thanks to Fast Track Hobbies in Rocklin. Check out Sacramentovalleyrcfest.com for details.

Man the fireteam is such a good platform. Bad ass sesh.

[@richduperbash2966]

Thank you Brother 😁. Super fun platform and love the longer wheel base 🚀🚀

[@StevenYDG69]

Props for being such an involved dad! Killer rigs and a hell of a bash spot 😎🤘🏻🤘🏻🤙🏻

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Steven 🤗. Hopefully get my daughter Angie back out with us too sometime 😍

[@chrisginoc]

@@richduperbash2966I have 5 and 7 year old boys that I’m trying to get into the hobby. I got them Mojave Groms and they’ll play with them for one pack and then move on to something else. How did you do it with your son?

[@richduperbash2966]

I started my son and daughter early as well. They ran 6s rigs on 4s until they learned more control, but started with 2WD ECX 1/10 scales on lower power. Kids attention spans vary. Keep it fun and don't sweat it when parts break. My kids interest has varied through the years. It became much more challenging once they became teenagers 😂. Keep it short and fun. Enjoy whatever time you can and respect their other interests.

[@chrisginoc]

@@richduperbash2966 I remember what it was like being a teenager mainly wanting to hang out with friends lol. I appreciate the feedback. I still can’t decide if I should buy a Mojave 6s, Fireteam 6s or Kraton 6s EXB. I’ve only had buggies and never a bigger badger type rig. I enjoy your channel. Thanks

[@AldoLoyal]

Awesome session with your son there Rich he was killing it. His fireteam took a couple hard hits very impressive. It kept moving. I would love to hit that big jump that you were standing on top of that looked massive. Also loved the thumbnail shot at the end. Perfect. 💯🤩👊👊

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so very much Brother Aldo 🤗. Felt so awesome to see Andrew back out and having fun 🚀🚀. That new jump sends it pretty good. It's kind of a blind takeoff, but puts the truck right over your head 😂. Both trucks did awesome and Andrew made it a blast 😍🍻😎💪👊👊

[@CB-bi1be]

Go Team Durango!!! Errr I mean TEAM ARRMA !!! Been a big fan of Arrma since before they were arrma . Some of the best guys making cars out there. So glad they still make the best of the best in Rc cars

[@richduperbash2966]

Team Durango has a storied race history 😍. So happy to see the progression and awesome designs from ARRMA. My favorite bashers by far 🍻😎💪👊👊

[@seansouth7413]

Awesome bash Rich! I keep trying to get my son out, he just isn't that interested in the hobby. He does love my typhon 6s that's his favorite rig and the notorious. He doesn't like the kraton much thinks it's to big. lol! He is only eleven so hopefully in time I can get him to enjoy it more? He is a gamer so it's all about video games right now! I am thinking about getting a Team Corally rig don't know which one to get between the Kagama or the Ausuga. I see your friend RCdude81 just released a video on the Asuga and he seemed to really like it. I'm thinking the Kagama and see how it is against the Kraton. keep up the good work really like your videos. Happy bashing brother!

[@thysongrumbois8280]

You able to make it threw entire pack without over heating issues with that combo & gearing or you stopping to let them cool down threw out the run?

[@richduperbash2966]

I could run non stop with this gearing no problem. The Hobbywing 1650 4985 needs a 22-23T pinion to maximize it's potential. 🍻

[@six50motors]

Love my fireteam it's on the bench right now getting the full go threw with some m2c basherqueen and vitavon goodies. Love to see the fireteam in action great videos 💪🏼

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. The Fireteam is easily one of my favorite all around bashers 😍. Love the cage, the plush suspension, and overall handling. The fun factor is off the hook 😂

[@FarmerFpv]

So sick! Family ripping is the best. I can't rip for a few months. My Kraton EXB 6s skipped on the side of the ramp and changed trajectory full throttle right into my left forearm breaking both my radius and ulna. My DX3 Radio is in many pieces. The Kraton EXB barely had a scratch, lol.

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Brother 🤗. That's nuts busting your arm with a ramp shaver, but I could totally see how it could happen 👀. The speed is insane with these rigs. Glad you didn't take a direct face or head shot at least. Most of us have been tagged before and it's no joke. Hope you heal well my friend 🙏

cool rc and awesome bashing

[@richduperbash2966]

Thank you Brother 🤗

[@reho6760]

Great video. Like the Fireteam with the Max6 combo. How was the 8s experience? Overkill or worth trying?

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks Brother 😁. I absolutely love the Max6 combo, but only run it on 6s geared tall with a 22 or 23T. I personally think 8s is complete overkill for the tires, gears, and added weight. 6s absolutely rips 🚀🚀

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

Agree , love the max 6 but 8s becomes counterproductive, it’s unnecessary wear and tear usually lower kv motors adding weight . It’s better for roosting loose dirt 😂

[@panchogames9470]

How are you, rich, I have been watching your videos for a long time, almost 3 years now, I saw this video and I remembered when I watched your videos of the fireteam and bash sessions with it, I recently bought one because it was a goal for me, the fireteam and (kraton6s) I would like to ask you because I want to build my fireteam just like yours (beefcake) "I already have backflips tires and some aluminum improvements" what fluids do you have in the shocks and differentials in the front center and rear? based on you have been an inspiration to strive to achieve and achieve my goals (fireteam) and I would like to thank you rich (I am writing this message in the Spanish to English translator, I know how to speak English very well but not write it well at all, I am 16 years old, I am from San Diego but I live in Tijuana, Baja California, my name is Joshua, greetings rich 💙

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so very much Joshua 🤗. The Fireteam is still one of the funnest rigs I've ever owned and I'm so happy to hear you got one Brother!!! I'm running 90 weight oil in the shocks. For diffs I'm running 50/500/20 thousand CST (front to rear). Hope you can make yours just how you want over time. I'm inspired to hear your passion for the hobby Joshua 😁. Thanks for sharing my friend. 🍻😎💪👊👊

[@Xmaxx_bob]

Wait, you are local to me in the Sacto area? I've been wanting to find that bash spot in your videos for a while now! Thought you were in AZ or Las Vegas! There is a chance..

[@Brayrfd1192]

I love how you can wreck your RC and just laugh it off I could never do that 😂

[@richduperbash2966]

I think it's from going to demolition derbys as a kid 😂. The wrecks always use to crack me up 😱🤣🤣

[@rtk6945]

Hey Rich seeing alot more of this team corally. New to me. Heard they go back some years. Cant help but notice the look a like with all mighty kraton. Whats your take ? Thanx

[@richduperbash2966]

Team Corally is making some nice looking bashers. I'm only marginally interested because there's no local and limited U.S. based parts support and I hate waiting for parts when my rigs break. They reached out to me several years ago, but the dude was pushy and I don't play that. I won't consider trying one until parts are readily available here in the States. The Asuga looks pretty cool though 🍻

[@rtk6945]

Thanks. That answers my questions. Readily available parts helps makes this hobby going. Already had to go through that with the covid pandemic.

[@TheMopar55]

What do you use between your motor and motor wires?

[@richduperbash2966]

I usually use 1/4" self adhesive felt padding from Walmart. Also use it on the bodies up front to pad between the body and front shock caps during hard wrecks.

[@M_i_n_d_W_a_r]

😍 nice!

[@thomasblair7996]

Hello rich,just picked up a real nice notorious 6s v5,how much trouble would it be to convert to a outcast

[@richduperbash2966]

Should just be a body swap Thomas. The Outcast and Notorious are basically the same exact truck with a different body. 🍻

[@thomasblair7996]

Thank you appreciate it

[@thepatternforms859]

How do you feel about the Keaton 8s motor (1250kv 4685) in this fire team truck? Paired with the g2 200 amp blue tooth esc? Can it run 6s through that setup all day no issues and would it be more power and less heat than the max 6 setup here?

[@richduperbash2966]

The 1250kv motor requires a very tall pinion to get any good speed out of on 6s. You could make it work, but the HW 1650 is a better setup in my opinion.

[@thepatternforms859]

@@richduperbash2966 ok thanks!

[@thomasblair7996]

Hello rich I'm looking for a aluminum rear center chassis brace, could you tell me if there are 2 different lengths

[@richduperbash2966]

Hey Thomas 🤗. There are now 3 different rear chassis braces. The standard Kraton and Outcast use the same rear chassis brace. The Mojave, Fireteam, and Big Rock 6s use the Talion style rear brace. The latest Kraton 6s EXB RTR has a new design with 3 anchor points specific to the new EXB chassis design. Hope this helps.
