just got my mt410 built bro lol i know the excitement ur feeling have fun with it and congrats

[@bournemouthrc4371]

Cheers man year always exciting doing so good build work. Enjoy yours buddy, awesome choice 😁😁👍👍

[@TTRC]

Love the build so far. I've got a kraton exb that is mid build with quite a lot of your tips. Thanks for them. Now I'm thinking I would also like a kraton 8s. If my wife kills me, it's all your fault. Keep up the good work.

[@bournemouthrc4371]

Cheers man. 🤣🤣I know that feeling man, trouble is it never stop you always want more the k8 is a beast though. Love the truck

[@TTRC]

@@bournemouthrc4371stop it. I haven't even run the exb yet and I've spent over £1400., but the 8s would be nice. P.S. your battery tray strengthening tip was great. Used 2 10mm titanium bolts to hold the m3 nuts in place. Didn't go for the yoga mat though. I got some 0.5mm plastic sheet and used 3 layers bonded together with holes where the nuts protruded and then a final full layer to give a totally flat surface that looks like factory finish. Will send you a video when I get a chance. Thanks again.

[@bournemouthrc4371]

@@TTRC awesome, get out there and use it 😁😁. Cheers man I'm glad the vids helped

[@TTRC]

@@bournemouthrc4371 I know. I can't wait. Still got a bit more work to do and I'm still waiting for a couple of parts. Can't really get out just now because of lockdown. They are giving out fines of up to £2000 in Glasgow so I'm just taking my time to get the build spot on,.......then I'll go break it! 😆

[@ETAI106]

Missed your streams James ...

[@bournemouthrc4371]

Cheers man, they will be back

[@craiggreenhalgh1082]

How much weight difference is there between your old & new parts 🤔 👍

[@bournemouthrc4371]

Not a huge amount I would say 10-20% more depending on part. All parts are made from the best grade alloy

[@genreaper]

Why does everyone jam their chasis in with rear bumper on and risk damaging to lower diff oring. Nice rig tho.

[@thefunhouseproject4782]

Did you pay for the kit bud ? Or is this sponsored so to speak

[@bournemouthrc4371]

A bit of both, I work closely with M2C on their test team as well as fund some stuff myself

[@smeshfactory3992]

You still about mate? I remember being in your live stream chats quite often telling you to get a Kraton 8S (under a different name).
