[@RCsBigAir]

Some great speed of course and some awesome BIG air. That makes me smile those most- seeing flying RC cars. Nice job with this video.

[@HardcoreRC]

Thanks - there is something special about seeing an RC car go really high, land and then drive off 👍👍

[@joshpurser4810]

Awesome video guys!!!👍 Man your boys sure do have some skills at sending rcs!!! They make it look a whole lot easier than it really is that’s for sure.

[@HardcoreRC]

LOL thanks - its annoying as i cant jump like that 😂😂 i just film the big jumps now, it works out way way cheaper for me 😂😂

[@EastTactics]

Thanks Dude, hopefully when we get to spring and the ground dries up we can you really high, new ESC fan mounts will be on then as well 😂😂

Lock the centre diff take off the rear wing and drop the front on the drop screws. Good luck an I hope my advice works for you . Keep the vids coming

[@HardcoreRC]

Thanks for the tips, although not really looking for a top speed machine, just need to get enough speed to hit the ramp and jump as high as we can 🚀

[@donuttime2507]

Kraton looks solid as a rock with that setup. I know the EXB is the star of the show but that Talion a long jump setup could go far..love it mate!

[@HardcoreRC]

The Talion is so under rated, cant wait to see what it can do at Paddlesworth long jump, also need the weather to improve, always wet so can never get full power down for the jumps 😥

[@donuttime2507]

@@HardcoreRC yeah will be interesting to see it in optimal conditions. I've been out today but lost drive intermittently. Installed a new 20kg servo but seems really slow. When you move the wheels with the power off it feels like in going to break the servo. It's so tight. Any ideas? Will strip it all down but my servos are always tight.

[@HardcoreRC]

@@donuttime2507 Umm hard to say really without seeing it, with the servo horn disconnected do the wheels turn freely ? if not then you likely have something binding in the steering. What servo are you using ?

[@donuttime2507]

@@HardcoreRC without the servo connected the wheels turn really well. Picked up a red and black 20kg servo off Amazon for 20 quid. Not sure the brand. Will need to strip it down but does seem tight and a little slow when connected compared to the stock servo.

[@HardcoreRC]

@@donuttime2507 first check you have servo in the right way, i have put in the wrong way before

[@bradjrc196]

Great vid as always, was thinking it would be a good test to see if it would get a faster top speed if you remove the rear wing ? Before and after. Could be interesting.

[@Wizzdom.motorsport]

Agreed 😊 the wing is important I think. Removing the wing is what I was thinking to increase the speed before the nose lifts. I hope HardcoreRC tries it lol 😊

[@HardcoreRC]

Thanks - only problem with taking wing off is then now where to mount the GoPro when we send it 😂😂

[@bradjrc196]

@@HardcoreRC could you not just cable tie it on somewhere just to do the speed run ? Would be very interesting to see if it cuts the drag and poss less nose lift = more speed.

[@Wizzdom.motorsport]

@HardcoreRC I would say, think of it like (in a real car) driving down a motorway with a sofa on the roof trying to get max speed. Move the sofa forward or backward won't help. Try sticking the gopro inside or underneath the front bumper? 😊 Also have dropped the height as low as possible?

[@HardcoreRC]

@@bradjrc196 Could do, but these tires really dont like going to fast to many times - the foams move inside, already killed a set. This was more to see what sort of speed would could get vs the 1650kv motor on our other EXB

[@liamwaldron7885]

How is the chassis doing. And im running the exact same in mine just can't get the nose to stay down(would that be down to torque or wind resistance) great video👍

[@HardcoreRC]

Nose stays down on tarmac, but lifts at around 58mph on grass currently, should do better once the weather warms up and grass is dryer and harder.

[@aracnid007]

Must be a popular place over there. I live in the US and recognize the place. I've seen at least 2 other KZbinrs there, Lol. Nice vid, by the way. I have a brand new Kraton sitting here waiting on diff fluid to arrive. Can't wait to get out and do some bashing! Or ripping as you call it, Lol. ;)

[@HardcoreRC]

You likely saw it on Kevin Talbots and Claire's RC channels who we also go out with, wouldnt say it super popular just handy as it its very close to an RC track and isnt normally full of people, plus you can get big sends 😂, hope your new diff oil turns up soon so you can get out ripping 😂😂

Did you find is difficult to get the motor bullets into the max 6? It seems to require a lot of force to push the bullet into the esc.

[@HardcoreRC]

Yes i have always found it needs a fair bit for wiggling to get the bullets in and out of the esc

[@NLRevZ]

@HardcoreRC What were/are the batteries you've used in this car? Looks like whatever they are, they can take a beating! If you can't recall, could you at least recommend me a good 8S set that'll fit in there like they do on that car? (I'm aware that it's been modded with the Mojave chassis since; I'm more interested in fitting good batteries into the available space on the stock EXB chassis..) Thanks in advance!

Nice, you will love it, watch the shocks though. From what i have been told by Martyn the 1100kv is the better motor for bashing, toe 800kv needs to be 1:1 gearing from what i understand. Martyn is the best person to ask on this though
