Epic RC Monster Trucks Go Head-to-Head! : Big Rock v3 vs Team Associated Rival MT10 v2

[@rcplaytime]

Pair of absolute beast's 👍👌cool trucks also 😂 great fun ripping around with a mate 👍👍👍😀😀

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Glad you enjoyed , yeah great trucks these best of both offerings in there respective 3s range for sure . Had a awesome time Thanks dude for watching Chris 🤙😎🚀

[@jcorpz7796]

So between the MT10 v2 and Big rock v3 which one is more less prone to breaking and less need for fixing?

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Hey buddy , I’ve had great success with the big rock but as I say in the video I’ve upgraded it a lot . Out of the box it was great , fast and reliable only issue I received was the diffs are not great. But if you are prepared to buy the 4s differential you’ll have no problems at all . As for the MT10 well there tanks for many , but my experience is that they break every other rc if not treated correctly. In the video you’ll see what happens when you get it wrong . Nothing is indestructible that’s for sure . Stay awesome Chris 🤙💪🚀👊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧

[@mrtambourineman6107]

I got the MT10 first , then the Typhon. They both handle totally different - the Typhon handles amazingly well compared to the MT10. Really nice to just hoon round on, and with the new 2.8inch proline badlands tyres ive put on, it goes as off road as well as the trucks. Dont get me wrong though, i love the MT10 too - both fantastic 😊

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Hey buddy , thanks for stopping by . Yeah the typhon is awesome fun quick out the box and handles so well . I sold mine recently and regretted straight away . The MT10 is fun though just a strong crazy little basher Stay awesome Chris 🤙❤️💪👊🚀

[@jasondemers8522]

What are the roof and bed skids you have? I put a wing and roof skid kit on mine from Arrma. Not real found of the roof skids. Too small

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Hey there buddy , Thanks for strolling by ! Yeah I got mine from a seller on eBay , got to say the quality is very good . Another awesome 3D printer is Bigfoot customs They have done loads of work for me and been great really held up strong 💪. Stay awesome Chris 🤙❤️💪🚀

[@jasondemers8522]

@@ChriswithaCrc Thanks buddy I’ll check them out! The roof skids I got are just not beefy enough. 🤙🏼

[@Xjeepguy]

The only things I’ve upgraded on my MT10 is the steering servo (Reefs Raw 500) and RPM arms. The arms are the only main weak point on them. Great little truck.

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Hey there buddy , Ill let Owen know what to pick up so RPM arms and servo are a needs must upgrade ? Funny thing is i seen that the Redcat Kaiju arms also are compatable is that correct .? Thanks for commenting Chris :)

[@Xjeepguy]

No, those fit the MT8. There is an obscure, discontinued truck that Horizon used to sell that has parts compatibility with the MT10, but I can’t remember the name of it.

[@SnoriRC]

Helion Avenge dudes.

[@Xjeepguy]

@@SnoriRC yep, that’s it! Thanks!

[@gillian9178]

@@ChriswithaCrc The Kaiju arms do not fit the Rival MT10, they fit the larger Rival MT8. Just a heads up on the MT8 truck, they are no where as durable as the MT10 truck. They break a lot.

[@joe-dp3ng]

One thing that works for me is I put a small o ring inside each of the diff cups and drive cups. It centers the dog bones in my case. No sense if you have cvd all around. Doin it with a friend is much better. In the U.S. some guys say it's mean when a car is over powered. I hear some Brits say it's angry. I like that it's the same kinda thing I guess. A little jack Russell terrier ha funny. I didn't find crawling near as much fun as bashing. I know I need to be careful when it's hot out not to overheat. Your truck seems to grip and handle as good or a bit better than the Mt 10 on road. Ok I'm taking to much. Keep having fun over there across the pond.

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Hey there Joe , Yeah ok ill mention that to him about the Orings in the drive cups for sure. As for the Car is it Angry as hell lol , and its Definitely a little terrier dog snapping at your heels lol , I got to be honest with you Bashing is most definitely my thing also for sure !, I LOVE how action packed a run is and the laughs it gives me . most definitely you do need to monitor temps in the warmer months so you dont do damage to the electrics . As for the Big rock yes i agree with you handles way way better on tarmac and high grip areas but having said that mine is far from stock so would be interesting to see how they compare Stock vs Stock . Stay safe there my Overseas brother , Thanks for watching also Chris :)

[@chelmswoodjunction]

hi chris and good friend owen i will say i like owens one as its a wheelie popper and i lost count how many times you two had a mechanical but rc is just the same as the real world racing things do break and at least im not the only one at the mo with cars broke down lol. great bash session and not heard you laugh so much chris good to hear. hope yourself owen and your familys are all well. peter p.s. shared to my fb groups

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Hey peter , Yeah more plans to bash more , Owen is just waiting on parts right now so he can get the Rival MT10 back on the road . Yeah brake downs are normal with bashing aren't they . No buddy your not on your own right now i need driveshafts for the Big rock and a Diff for the typhon now !! Ah man its so much fun bashing with your mates or in a group as things get so hectic and fast paced and its nice to bounce of each others personalities . Glad to hear you guys are well and safe , Chris :)

[@Lee.gRC27]

I found that when me and my son went out with ours the mt10 and brick on the same type of cnhl 3s battery in each, the mt10 ran loads longer than the b rock and tyre very evenly matched for speed, your mate did well to break the mt10

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Yeah was very surprised with the running time on the MT10 , it's geared very well indeed and the ESC motor combo is great . With my Big rock v3 mind I'm running a 4s system with 20t pinion on 3s and today only charged my packs to 85% as he was waiting for me . Yeah shame about the crash hey ! As he said it's a learning curve for him though and really was quite composed about it all . I'm not sure I would have had the same reaction as him . Thank you for watching buddy . Stay safe Chris 😎🤙🚀

Arrma baby! But the rival is nice I like Associated

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Hey buddy , Thanks so much for watching yeah i like the rival , but the Big rock is where its at for me between the two . Love it . Stay awesome Chris :)

[@avolationindustries]

An entertaining and eventful rip, Chris and Owen! What a great way to introduce and christen the MT-10. Seems like it might be the ideal intro basher Monster Truck. Gotta admit I am slightly jealous, I think I went in over my head with the Arrma 4s trucks. Oh well there is always room for one more!! Hey I was wondering with your Bigrock - does the rear sit higher than normal with those Outcast shocks on? Maybe if it does it could be causing your issues. Could you fit smaller springs or shorten them? Just a thought. Can't wait to see whats next boys! ✌🤙🤜🤛 Edit: unlucky at the end there, Owen. Thats basically what I did to my Kraton. Live and learn, you will be back up and running in no time. I bet you can find a bash plate for the chassis if you choose to go that route.

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Hey there buddy , Sure was eventful hey ! Yes I agree a great way to start the hobby I think the MT10 , I was very surprised to see the breakages mind , but hey if you drive it at 50mph towards a kerb it's going to get messy !. Ah man the 4s Outkast is a beautiful RC in my opinion and I'm trying to save enough money at present to purchase a slider of one as a good friend has just said he's got one for sale . As for the big rock buddy with the Outkast springs , ok to explain this is that the top of the Outkast shocks it has a shock collar and if you take it off and put , then use them without the collar there the correct length I measured them up before using them as a upgrade. The objective was to get a more sturdy shock for the Bigrock . I just generally think that the Ujoint is broken on the Bigrock driveshafts.ive ordered some more and also some parts for the Typhon to get that back and running now . Owen I believe has received the parts he needed to get the MT10 back on the road also so round 2 is coming in a different location. Let's let them rip !!!!! Thanks Avo mate for watching , Hope that you and the family are well , Stay safe Chris 😎🚀🤘🤙

[@ryancollis4855]

RPM arms are a must when these have broke then just leave the rest stock...

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Hey Ryan , Hope that your well which one are we talking about buddy the MT 10 ???? Thanks so much for watching Stay awesome Chris :)

[@ryancollis4855]

@ChriswithaCrc yes mate the MT 10 👍

[@ormyrc9959]

Did you have the same driveshaft issue B4 you went 4s is it the extra power and that's why it's spitting driveshafts?... Shame you couldn't widen it and put CVDs init .. just a thought great video your mate did well to break the mt10 🏎️🔥💨💨💨

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Hey buddy, well I did have it come out once before I upgraded, but then again I don't run it on 4s cells , only 3s with a larger pinion . Yeah would be nice to get some CVDs for it for sure . Yeah was a massive shame that he broke his MT10 mind . Thank you once again for watching also means alot . Stay safe there Chris 😎🚀🤘

[@Xjeepguy]

Also, Fastrax RC makes aluminum upgrades for the MT10, and they’re based in Britain I believe.

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Hey dude , right so hes just ordered the replacement Fastrax Skids for it so hoping that they will help with the toughness of the truck , Chris :)

[@albertopalos8326]

Cuál es mejor?

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Hey buddy , Thanks for commenting i got to say i prefer the Big Rock v3 , its such awesome truck right out of the box . Both are great though but it does depend on were your going to run it . Stay awesome Chris :)

[@mykjeez]

If you cut approximately 2mm of nitro tubing and insert into the driveshaft insert on the side closest to the gears that will eliminate a bit of side play while still allowing for flexibility. Good luck

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Hi there buddy , sorry for the late reply which truck are you referring to may i ask .

[@shaglioni]

@@ChriswithaCrc I'm guessing he was talking about for the Big Rock since you were talking about ordering new drive shafts for it. But, the fuel tubing would help keep them in place.

[@ChriswithaCrc]

@@shaglioni thanks awesome thanks for all the advice . 🤙🤩🚀💪

[@RuisRcAdventures]

The Rival just needs a set of rpm arms and thicker diff fluid in the centre diff. If it gets geared up it may overheat as they run a touch hot out of the box. a heatsink and fan is a good idea me thinks 👍👍😁😊

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Great point! Funny thing is that Xjeep guy just said the same thing about the RPM arms ive heard from another that the redcat Kaiju also fit mind . yeah will get the centre diff done , what thickness would you recommend buddy ? Also yeah your right the weather as is you need a Heatsink and Fan for sure . Thanks for watching mate , Stay safe Chris :)

[@RuisRcAdventures]

@@ChriswithaCrc well on mine i went with 500k, that seems to work really well as front tyres dont balloon half a much and he's still a wheelie machine lol

[@ChriswithaCrc]

@@RuisRcAdventures ah ok , well I've got that here so I'll tell him to give it a go , thanks Rui mate

[@SnoriRC]

With 500k in the middle it will wheelie for days!! Even more power to those diddy back tires!! Awesome stuff 👏🏻

[@chelmswoodjunction]

hi chris and take your own advice regarding the crawler just get out and get use to it. peter

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Hey Peter , Yeah im going to make some changes to it first and then try it again , fingers crossed ill be able to make it a very capable crawler for sure. Chris :)

[@ToxicTruth]

Great tip is to hack the brakes on Mt10 so not so powerful, i did this and its like a new car ro drive and does flip over when u brake ❤

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Thanks for sharing! glad that there are people like you in the community sharing tips . Stay awesome buddy Chris :)

[@robertrodrigues7776]

That's bullshit I got a big rock and it doesn't pop wheelies on demand. What kind of battery are you using

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Hey buddy , If you watched in the video im using the 4s Spektrum Motor 3668 2400 kv , and 120 amp ESC . As for batteries im using Yoowoo Graphenes 120c 5000 mah . Hope this helps . Chris :)

[@robertrodrigues7776]

@@ChriswithaCrc what amps do you charge your batteries at kuz I got 2 5300mah 60c and I can't even get them close to 5300 before it says full

[@gillian9178]

The esc on the Rival is not programable, not even with a Hobbywing prog card. Some find the brakes to strong & find the truck can endo a bit to much under braking, however the brakes can be turned down with a hack. To see how to do that go to Razor RC, he shows how to hack the esc to turn the brakes down. Re those useless plastic hub caps, a lot simply remove them otherwise they come off all the time. Just a dab of threadlocker on the wheel nuts prevents the wheels coming loose.

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Hey there buddy , well thats good to know , yeah i was fine with the brakes and just feathering them when i used them , but i can see from Owens point of view that when you got for the brakes its all or nothing . I understand why associated did this , for air control but it does take a bit of a learning curve then using . ill message him now and mention about Razor Rcs video buddy . And ill also pass the message on about the thread lock on the stub axels , did have that issue with my arrma cars . Thanks for watching , Hope that your well Stay safe there Chris :)

[@paulfriar7517]

Well done to Owen for breaking it 😂 I have abused the mt10 for 2 years. All I’ve upgraded is the servo. I’ve replaced the front bumper a few times but that’s it. I proper send mine. I think Owen is just unlucky
