Cool vid! Are you going to get the Traxxas Sledge? I would love to see you sending it! The only person to send it so far is Kevin Talbort, it would be good to see someone else give it a proper bash!

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks Brother 👊. Not sure I'll be getting a Sledge. Contrary to claims the truck doesn't need upgrades, I already know the 6061 formed chassis and braces have limitations. For 800$, the truck will become a pricey 1/8 project to make truly durable for extreme bashing, plus replacing a questionable VLX ESC. The arms do look pretty beefy though 👀. We'll see. 😎💪👊👊

[@whome5810]

@@richduperbash2966 I am sure you are right, personally I think the Kraton EXB seems like the best bang for buck for a 1/8 truggy. Nice to see a bit of competition though. :)

[@paulrakis]

Awesome rich. Yes you said it brother don't matter what brand you are running long as your having fun that's all that matters. You are running a 30T pinion with 39 spur in your outcast correct. How do you mange to keep her nose down? I cannot go Full power with.mine same gearing I'm just running stock Spectrum ESC 160amp with Spectrum 1100kv motor. She is just bad wheelie machine. Im definitely gonna take off the wheelie bar now. Will the proline mashers help to keep her on all fours to get some more speed? Thanks

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Brother 😜. Yes I'm still running 30/39 gearing in Big Red 😍. She'll wheelie up pretty easily with my Leo 5898, but I just ease into and feather the throttle most times. The Masher X HP's will keep her more planted no question. Extremely fast wheels. They have good bite overall, but don't balloon to pop the front up so easily. The 8s Spectrum electronics are actually very impressive 👀. Sounds like she's running strong Brother. 🍻😎💪👊👊

[@paulrakis]

@@richduperbash2966 thanks rich. Yes sir she is running great. I'm very impressed with those electronics myself. Might gear her down alittle if I can't get my control an s power down.

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much my friend 🤗. The fun factor of the XMaxx is undeniable 😱🤣🤣. So stoked she's holding together consistently thanks to some key upgrades 💪. It's been a learning experience for sure.

Great air control. is the Outcast still use 5mm m2c shock shaft bro?

Love seein’ these big boys gettin thrashed. Absolutley wicked session. Too bad there wasn t a new bellcrank in the case!!! I m not sure how I pick between these two if ai were in the market. The rtr body on the Outcast is def my fave body.

[@djcdroid]

Awesome Bash as usual brotha!!! Those m2c pistons really make a difference on bertha it looks like ...I'm gunna have to pick up a set for my rig....what weight oil are you running?

[@BarstoneRC]

Yeah that’s steering linkage on the XMAXX is definitely a weak spot especially if you’re running any different tires as you know I’ve gone through many of them lol but great bash buddy!! The outcast 8S EXB it’s still my favorite fifth scale car you just can’t beat the way that thing handles and flies. Really enjoy the run man.

[@Andy_Yates]

Bruisers is the right term for these big rigs. Some serious land missiles and high fliers 🙌. My local RC Crawler comp club had a fun event at a nearby bike skills park so I took my 6S EXB Kraton out there. I've been running the rtr spektrum esc and motor on the factory punch setting of 4 until the other weekend. I only bumped it to 6 and it breathed new life into the Kraton. It went from really nose-heavy feeling jumps and lawn darting to flying really nice with easy throttle corrections. It's a totally different animal and I even managed to get pretty consistent at landing back flips. 🤩🤩 SO much fun when you have the right space to run a rig and get things a little more dialed in

[@richduperbash2966]

That's awesome Andy 😜. Sometimes seemingly small tuning changes make a huge difference in handling and performance 👀. The K6s is such a Killer all around Beast. Props to you on ramping the punch up and going for it. That skills park sound like a Blast!!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks Brother 🍻😎💪👊👊

[@GreatLakesRC]

Lots going on with this video! Cool to see both trucks together in the same video 👍 It is hard to pick between the two since they really are similar. I think the power of your Outcast gives it a slight edge. Great series of runs Rich!

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Brother Aaron 😜!!!! I'd been wanting to do a comparison vid for awhile. Both rigs feel fast as heck. The 5687 feels perfect in the lighter XMaxx. Actually felt great in Big Red too before my first one blew up 😱🤣🤣. I won't buy another Leo 5898. Tons of torque, but just isn't easy to make subtle corrections with from throttle to brake. Doesn't have that smoothness like Hobbywing and Hobbystar. 🍻😎💪👊👊

[@ZachA44]

Curious how them mod 1.5 gears go for you! I’d love to try em but I think the gearing they make are too high for hw 1650kv🤷🏻‍♂️

[@richduperbash2966]

Hopefully try them out soon 👍. Yeah I think the gearing will be way too high for the HW1650.

[@pizzomedia7261]

Hey Rich, what's the deal with the xmaxx durability? Some say it's incredibly durable in stock form. Does it fall apart easier with all the heavy upgrades and added weigh? Do you Recommend t keeping it stock and light as possible? Thanks

[@ogbigwasher]

Hey Rich, I just got my outcast 8s exb and i am gathering parts for my build. Are there any must do mods before i drive it? I mostly bash in the dunes.

[@richduperbash2966]

Congrats on your EXB Brother 😱!!!! I would honestly just run the truck stock and upgrade as you go as needed. It's already got the bigger EXB shocks and camber links. I can't speak for the chassis because I only ran the longer K8s EXB one myself. It actually did pretty good considering how much abuse it took 😂. Make sure to go through all your hardware. The pillow ball nuts can come loose or even too tight. M2C locking ones with Delrin inserts are the cure for that. Another good idea is running the 7075 brace rod ends if you start breaking yours. Really depends on your needs. 🍻😎💪👊👊

[@ogbigwasher]

@@richduperbash2966 Thanks, I did order the m2c pillow ball nuts because i had that happen on my rtr kraton 8s and bind up the steering. Thanks for the awesome videos brother! I love the way you break down your builds in them. I have learned a lot from them.

[@omega_rc]

Hey Rich quick question why do you run the 1100kv over the 800kv on the big trucks? What are your pros and cons?

[@richduperbash2966]

The 1100kv is lighter and faster for top speeds (better mid-top range). I'm able to get more wheelspin with lower gearing vs running an 800kv that requires 1/1 gearing. Honestly, 1100kv feels about perfect for both trucks 👍. The Hobbystar 980kv 56112 was also great in my 08s, but it felt better suited in the bigger Kraton. 😎💪👊👊

[@madonerc2978]

Awesome bash session!! Driving skills are out of this world! :) I hear from people that the hub extenders add extra stress to the hubs, bearings and steering components. What is your experience and opinion on that? Also, in my country they only sell the small chassis brace and not the beefcake one. Do you think that brace will work as well, or should I look at the option to buy the beefcake brace from the US/UK for added rigidity?

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so very much Brother 😜. So sorry I missed your comment 👀. Yes it's true that hub extenders can add extra strain to hubs and bearings, but I haven't noticed any significant issues thus far 👍. Especially running RPM rear hubs and Traxxas HD front hubs as both used oversized inner bearings. The difference in stability and handling is definitely worth it 😍. Don't hesitate to purchase the standard chassis brace. Both it and the Beefcake version work as designed. The chief role it plays is linear anchoring. Both do the all important job of keeping the bulkheads from pulling apart in a linear plane. Think of a steel cable on a bridge. It's function is to keep 2 concrete structures from pulling away from one another. That's exactly what both braces achieve between the 3 modular chassis pods. I had zero chassis failures with the standard brace. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Might look into upgrading that part too next! Loved the new terrains at the end and wide open rips! That tire explosion was crazy!! The Outcast is hands down a better drivers car and more capable imo! The Xmaxx definitely has it's place though!

Thanks so much Brother Eric 🤗. It felt awesome to get back out with the Big girls running tight 😍. I was pressed for time at the lake and broke both the trucks landing like a turd 😂.

Green Bertha is doing great with the M2C goodies 💪. Yeah she handles like a box on wheels 😂, but she's holding together and moving Killer with her current setup. So far I'm impressed with the HR bellcrank. Definitely a huge gain with the steering. Big Red is definitely my favorite 🥰🥰. So much more planted. Really appreciate the kind words Brother!!!

send it! that crash at 3:20 didn't even look that bad but I suppose with the weight behind these big rigs you have to land pretty square or else

Thanks Brother 🤗. You're right, it didn't seem bad and wasn't a big jump. I did notice the wheel snag the ground awkwardly though (fully weighted) and that's what exposes these heavier rigs to breakage. Landing squarely is super important with the bigger trucks. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks so much Tee 🤗. Happy bashing Brother 🍻😎💪👊👊

[@3SonsRC]

Killer Rip there my friend of these two behemoths 😳🚀🚀👍 M2Cification makes this all possible as that M2C Chassis brace on the Xmaxx is KEY. Great quick breakdown but the Bashing was on point brother.... Can't believe what bashing was done when these two were just out of the box compared to what y'all throwing down now days.... Some sick airs, reversals and she twirling like them 6s rigs😎🚀🚀 I swear you pack as much action in the last 2 minutes as I do in one of my whole videos 😳😎👍 Kilt it brother Rich, See ya round

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Brother Dennis 😜. No question M2C has completely transformed Green Bertha 😱. The brace has been such a game changer 💪. So stoked the chassis issues are gone. Had a Blast with both rigs 🚀🚀. Big Red is a tad rough with the Leo, but there's no shortage of power 😂. Grateful to get out again. Been hectic around here lately. Really appreciate it Brother. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊

[@CommanderAstigRC]

Freakin EPIC session with Bertha and Big Red Bro Rich! What an absolute Fun Ride this was Bro! Watching these two Beasts going at it in the same video was awesome! Both are absolute Beasts in their own way! The Outcast 8s is just undeniably superior in all its ways over the Xmaxx. That just Facts! LoL 😂. Good call on going aluminum with your steering bellcrank. I went Vitavon on mine and never looked back. The tire explosion 💥 was Nuts LoL 🤣. Did you open the briefcase 💼? Must be Drugs, money and guns in there LoL 🤣. Super dope session my friend.

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so very much Brother Chris 😜!!!! I'd been waiting to get both big girls out together for awhile 🤣. So pressed for time lately between work and family 😍. Felt KILLER to get them both running tight and mix up a few spots. The O8s is my personal favorite no question 🥰🥰. She handles like no other and takes an absolute beating 👀. Huge thanks so M2C for fortifying both platforms 💪. Bertha is finally holding her own thanks to Mitch and Avery's ingenious designs. Stoked about the HR servo saver/bellcrank 😱. The fitment was perfect and the steering feels dialed now. I wanted to peak in the suitcase, but it had been opened already and I didn't want to find anything sketchy 😂. Really appreciate the kind words Brother!!!! 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

[@ZeuZLoD]

That is some serious bashing with Zilla (xmaxx) and Kong (outcast)! With those upgrades those things are absolute bashing beasts. Straight up King of the Monsters RC style! What type of cleaning agents/sprays or method do you use after a bash like this? (if you have a video on this ill have to dig it up).

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Brother 😜. The upgrades have been huge for both trucks 🚀🚀. I normally just air compress and do basic maintenance/cleaning and hardware checks after a dry weather bash. After a few dry bashes (and after every weather/mud bash), I rinse off my rigs, spray them with 50/50 mix of water and Simple Green. After a few minutes I rinse them off again, dry with a shop blower, towels, and air compressor. Then I shoot the bearings and hinge pins with Silicone spray and run the truck briefly. That's my basic wash and lube. I'll clean and oil or replace bearings as needed during diff or hub maintenance. 🍻😎💪👊👊

[@easternrc1924]

Epic tyre 💥 lol nice bash as always brother! What was in the suitcase?? Hahaha

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Brother Ed 😜!!!! The tire explosion was friggin nuts 😂. I meant to take a peak in the suitcase, but it had already been opened and I didn't want to find anything that would complicate my life any further 🤣🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 hahahaha pmsl at that, totally fair enough reasoning! 🤣

[@bashaz8559]

I absolutely love my oc8s and k8s exb I've tried a lot of different setups and settled on the 5694 1200kv sss w 32/39 gearing which allows decent air control on stock tires ( and standing backflips with max5 if solder joints are clean;-)) I'd never get rid of these rigs they're such a pleasure. Thanks for your videos they keep inspiring me and I really enjoy them.

[@rcunknown5303]

So nice to see big red back in action! Great comparison between these beast. Both great in their own way but for me outcast 8s all the way 🥳. Looking forward to Sunday bash day bro 🤙

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much John 😜!!!! Big Red had been parked way too long. No question she's an absolute Beast 😱. The 5898 Leopard isn't the smoothest, but it's got gobs of torque and is running cool even with taller gears and big wheels. Stoked for this weekend!!!! See you soon Brother 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

[@leegriffiths5942]

I no it’s not the same motor I got a castle 1100 would the gearing be the same I love the speed off yours I’m new to the hobby you are insane on the Rc love all your vids crazy ain’t seen no vids like it 💨😎

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Lee 🤗. The speed should be about the same with the same gearing 👍. There's likely a difference in torque though as the Castle is a 56113 if I'm not mistaken. It should handle the gearing no problem. 🍻😎💪👊👊

I love seeing both tucks in the same video!! You can tell that they both have their own personality. Both seem like you have them dialed in for your high flying bashing style. Your videos are always fun/inspiring to watch!! 💯💯😉 Keep up the great content Rich!! You have some really cool spots to run!!! 😂😝😅😂😬

Man that’s just how it is sometimes huh? Get out to the spot and break all your rigs in 10 min. But some days you don’t break anything and are out for hours!! 😂😂 epic footage as always. Cool that you got that xmaxx pretty up to snuff now! 🤘great work M2C

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Bro 👊. Yeah I definitely broke my stuff quick at the lake 😱🤣🤣. It's funny cuz I didn't bust anything besides blowing that tire afterwards. That suitcase spot is WAY rougher than it looks too. Stoked the XMaxx is finally feeling dialed and reliable with the M2C and other upgrades 🍻😎💪👊👊

[@davidnielsen9651]

Year rich, I prefer the big arrma rigs too, with all M2C has to offer for these trucks there are no doubt .. gotta ask you.. are you running metal diff cases in your trucks or is it stark plastics?? I have had problems with the diff case cracks and I am not near your kind of running skills or abuse 🤔 so just wondering.. as always thanks for the tips and heads up, true inspiration my man 💪🛻💨

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much David 🤗. I'm running alloy diff covers on my XMaxx because the stock plastic ones are ridiculously thin and cracked almost every time out 💩. Still running stock diff cases on my ARRMA 8s rigs and several of my 6s rigs. The Hot Racing 6s bulkheads have been my great through the years 💪. The new Basherqueen 7075 ones have done excellent so far as well. Not sure they're back listed in stock on her eBay store. 🍻😎💪👊👊

[@hippywildchildracing]

Big red is a Apsalote Beast.. Question What does it cost to build one like this with all the upgrades to turn it into a Crazy Beast like this. Big Red is Awesome my Friend.

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks Brother 🤗. The biggest upgrade is the M2C chassis. It alone is a HUGE strength upgrade for the platform. The EXB 8s and M2C 8s 7mm shock kit option are both significant upgrades over the RTR 5mm 8s shocks. So are the beefier EXB toe links. Total cost depends on electronics and upgrade choices. You can tally up costs based on prospective choices. The chassis kit is around 230$ and electronics just depends. 😎💪👊👊

[@hippywildchildracing]

@@richduperbash2966 is it best to buy a new roller then upgrade to your point.

[@richduperbash2966]

@@hippywildchildracing that's not a bad idea if the price is right. The stock 8s electronics aren't bad. Just depends on how much power you want. I prefer more torque than the stock system can make.

[@TpPartsRcXtreme]

3rd time watching it, and it is just mind B Brother Rich how both cars take it 🥰🥰. The only thing i dobt like with the Bertha is...when landing a Outcast, Kraton..its like closing a Mercedes door....a XMAXX, like frozen glass thrown in to a container , sounds so bad 🤣🤣🤣

LMFAO 😂. Thanks dear Brother 😍. That's the perfect description of these trucks. Bertha sounds like a wrecking ball taking a building down 🤣🤣😎💪👊👊

[@josephlowden9495]

Awesome trucks brother and awesome session. Like I always say your a nasty driver. I also love both trucks as well.. and like you said m2c stepping in big time with awesome parts for the xmaxx makes the truck so much more enjoyable. And looks great with all the aluminum on it!

I break my bellcrank on my Xmaxx every time I drive it at the skatepark 😂 I just broke my 3rd one but, I don’t want the HR one. I’ll order from vitavon

[@richduperbash2966]

That sucks Brother 😂. Plastic is great until it explodes 😝. So far the HR bellcrank is doing Killer. Same for the HR diff cover and suspension tie plates under the skids. Just glad we have aftermarket options. 😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 yea, I’ve broken quite a few diff covers as well 😂 I haven’t upgraded much on the Xmaxx. The outcast 8s got more than its fair share though! Now I’m scared do drive it after I added up the cost of the whole build... don’t ever do that if you’re planning to abuse a rig 😂🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@nickteele169]

Absolutely loving the front flip action. Definitely love seeing the 8s rigs flying high. Gets me stoked for the weekend to get my o8s n mojave out. Must say the xmaxx s a completely different animal from when you first got it. Seems like a blast now. Makes me itch for the gravel pit. I haven't been since the beginning of winter. Definitely the video to get Mr stoked for the weekend. Does the wing scrape much without the wheelie bar on? I stretched as much life out of the last wing mount as I old rigging it to stay with longer screws n nuts and reshaping it with zip ties haha. Thanks for another awesome bash video man loved it. 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@bhardison1869]

Yet another epic bash session per usual! Man I've always wondered how the diff maintenence is for these rigs. I've also got a "big girl" I call her "The Heiffer" K8EXB and I have issues on the rear diff cases with these one off M3.5 screws shearing off often from arrma. Even the upgraded Armma aluminum cases... what's the secret to them man I've got 1m/20m/500k running proline masher x hp, xlx2 1100kv 30/39 no matter what just sending 10ft 12ft jumps seems to much for these heiffers. I have also blown up 3 or 4 of the copppehead big blocks 😁 .Lots of m2c part too.(even messaged them to see if they had a diff solution in play) What's do you run in these dude, stockers or just lots of wrenching? Thanks brother Rich!

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks Brother 🤗. I'm running the same diff weights except using silicone ear plugs in my center diff. I do diff maintenance periodically. I've busted a couple stock rear plastic diff cups. Probably happened from excessive upward strain on the outdrive cup 🤔. That's the only time I've had a gear problem. If you're having hardware issues, I would find some grade 12.9 steel metric replacements. I use lots of upgraded bolts from Monsterbolts.com. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Rich I really want to see you try the slingshot method on the x maxx body cover, It really work on my mini maxx, since I have the slingshot on the body cover, it never popped out once on my mini maxx, wondering will it work on your x maxx with your hard bashing. This is a video of how I hook the slingshot on my mini maxx: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmrLiZmphMmhbMU

[@Cornelius456]

Dude the Xmaxx Wide Kit adds 60mm to it's Width and I can tell you that it makes so much difference it's not funny! Mine handles easily as good as my Kraton8S. Probably Overkill to add the M2C Wide Axle's to that as well. Could be worth a Try though. Fucking thing would almost be Wider than it's Length.

[@richduperbash2966]

I've heard mixed reviews about the Traxxas wide kit 🤔. It does looks awesome though 👀. My bash buddy Dave is running it. Still waiting to see how the shafts and arms hold up. I'm happy with the 30mm width gain. The M2C Hexs and Sure Lock nuts are brilliant compared to the stock Traxxas set-up. No C-clip plastic turd hexes to pry off. Thank goodness M2C has put their expertise and design genius to work with the platform. 🍻

[@marcosmatos8213]

The weak point of the xmaxx is the xmaxx 🤣. Finally got the xmaxx now I'm an Arrma fanboy

Hey bash brother, have you checked out the new traxxas sledge? They say it was built for bashing. Otherwise great video as always. If you still have my number throw me a text if you don't mind.
