That was AWESOME Brother Dennis 😜!!!! So cool to see you and Mitch working together on this 😉. The chassis, steering rack, motor mount, and suspension blocks are so frigging Beefcake 👀. Not everyone fully appreciates the 7075 T6 advantage (though many do). Everything is so much better protected 😱!!!! The hinge pins and arms, all the electronics/Lipos, the braces/center driveline 💪💪. The stock parts are strong, but they wear and tweak over time where these parts simply don't. More than butter smooth, the steering rack protects the bearings and shoulder bolts from getting torqued. Huge props for doing these clear how-to vids Brother 👊. Should help a ton of guys out. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊

Thanks Rich, Was awesome working with Mitch on this project to get my Outcast 8s M2Cified real quick and get it out there to help the community. Props to Mitch for being so quick with these upgrades,.... Sure many of them were in development for the Kraton.... But Three new ones even since the Outcast 8s has launched (Chassis, Steering rack, Pillow Balls Retainer)..... Mitch and M2C just don't slow down with "engineering" solutions for the Bashers out there. Let's be honest, some companies just throw metal as an opportunity or just remake somthing in metal that maybe should stay plastic. M2C Racing makes upgrades that are needful and that make sence through testing! This platform is a beast, so fun to drive, so props to Arrma too for such an amazing truck, #ArrmaTough out the box, and M2C to just add that much more toughness and tweeks. Thanks for stopping by, I know it was a long one to watch so thanks for your time brother! Like you said.... It's for the community... Hope they enjoy. I LOVE bashing hard and SENDING 🚀🚀 IT, but I do really love helping others out also. Rock on Brother Rich and stay safe!

Who would dislike this?

[@3SonsRC]

I don't know.... They didn't like the music, I talk to much or too slow... Many reasons I guess. But whatever.... I put this out to help the community, if they dislike there are plenty of other KZbin videos out there to watch. I appreciate your support though bud🙌

[@joseCalderon1976]

That's Mitch? I honestly thought he was some dude in his 30s. I'm even more impressed with his work now. 🤣👍. Tell him that I said thanks for all the cool products.

[@3SonsRC]

I will pass him the message brother. He is the #wizard.... I did an interview video with him as well, check it out. Appreciate your time again brother 😎👍

[@Mauq5_Rc]

I just completely wrecked my OUTCast so its due for a M2C upgrade. Thanks for the video!

[@3SonsRC]

Thanks buddy, Yeah I never just upgrade before I run a new kit but I did that here and I have broken so little parts since running it. I send this beast and I have broken no arms, just broke one steering turnbuckle and bent all 4 shock Rods.... But now M2C ones and she good! The M2C Upgrades really helps EVERYTHING Together!! 👍💪🚀🚀Good luck with the rebuild. If you had to do it in order I suggest chassis and motor mount (plus Pillow Ball Retainers) .... Have to be purchased together(chassis&motor mount), then Hinge pin kits, shock pistons and rods(lighter oil), then steering rack and other bits. Personally don't see the need for Bulkheads, Hubs, shock towers and of course A Arms being done in metal... I like to keep some things plastic. Hope you enjoy the channel, plenty of videos bashing this beast.... Can't wait to get er out next time! Thanks for your time brother

Is like watching Pablo Picasso at work, what an artist, Mitch Looper is. The man truly a modern-day artist.

[@3SonsRC]

For sure brother, The stuff they pull off is fantastic and us as Bashers are prevliged to have them work g hard daily on TOUGH solutions 💪 Hope your enjoying the channel brother, see ya round

[@jaguarsrcfamily101]

What an absolute killer set up!! Mitch is saving the hobby for all bashers !! Thanks for video. M2C tough 🦾🦾👑💯🇺🇸

[@3SonsRC]

Thanks buddy, Yeah Mitch and M2C make already awesome and Touch Arrma rigs just stupid tough! Stay safe my man

[@joseCalderon1976]

I'm in the process of doing this right now. Very informative. So I guess I'll leave that center screw out like you did bud. My jumps are only like 20ft. Hehe. I have those hinge pin retainers too since I cracked my front and rear ones with time. Quality of M2C is 100% top notch.

[@3SonsRC]

Cool buddy, Glad my videos could be there to support what your doing. #ArrmaTough #M2CTough #MitchLooperRocks Good job killing them Hinge pins 😜🤣😂 See ya round brother

[@redblue40rc33]

Got all my hinge pin blocks front n back, and steering kits installed ...been to cold to run O8s....fit was good..

[@3SonsRC]

I hear ya buddy, benn raining for days here, so I have been wrenching as well. Them kits are super Beefcake, I know you gonna love bashing them with confidence! Appreciate your time and support bro

[@clairecooper3848]

Great vid , showed all the important steps with none of the really obvious steps that everybody already knows . Ready to rock n roll now 👍👌👍

[@3SonsRC]

Thanks Claire.... Super kind of you... Appreciate you time though I know it was a long one.... Hope it to be a refrence of sorts. Thanks for the visit #ArrmaTough #M2CTough #MitchLooperRocks Stay safe

[@jasonbudd2950Jag]

Great informative & practical Vid fella . I have quite a few M2C pieces & will get more. Thanks to Mitch & all the team @ M2C racing for making our bashers bulletproof 💪 👊

[@3SonsRC]

Appreciate your time and support buddy, glad you enjoyed and found it useful.

[@CommanderAstigRC]

Awesome how-to bench video brother Dennis. This is one hella Tank Outcast 8s! Total beefcake! This is definitely helpful install vid for all M2C parts. Props to Mitch's awesome work for all these beautiful pieces. Well done guys!

[@3SonsRC]

Thanks brother Crisanthony, I'm glad I could put this together for the community and for M2C refrence. Next is the breakout videos for each part, shorter but more detail. Yeah the M2C Tank Status Outcast 8s is a masterpiece by Arrma and M2C. Jumped to a 39 tooth spool gear yesterday and she flips even easier!... Bit more wild! Soon comes the 800kv but the spool is working well on stock electrics! EVERY time I bash I gotta bring the beast! Great Job #ArrmaTough #M2CTough #MitchLooperRocks Thanks for stopping by brother

[@RC4us]

Getting ready to install the m2c chassis on mine and wanted a Quick Look b4 I ripped it apart will by my 1st time really tearing into it....glad I did cause I think I just need to get the bellcrank and suspension block so I don't have to take it back apart later.... Great vid bro you showed everything I wanted to see I don't need to know how to do it but seeing it apart to get a idea where to start and what order to go plus the extra stuff I want thinking about (bellcrank and block)...

[@3SonsRC]

Nice glad to help brother

Awesome video. Love the new music too. Thanks!

[@3SonsRC]

Thanks buddy, appreciate that I had to change the intro music again tho

[@SpeedSyko]

I have a lot of arrma cars and haven’t bent a chassis yet. But, I would do the frame because it’s cool, and eventually yes I’ll bend the stock chassis lol. GREAT VIDEO!!!!

[@3SonsRC]

I noticed once I started going past 60ft airs stock chassis started tweeking, especially when you land wrong at even lesser distance. Once I started going over 100ft it bent every time (Kraton 6s) even if I landed right even with some M2C Upgrades. Now I just let it fly with the M2C Goliath on my Kraton/Outcast/Talion rigs and on the O8S.... I never even have to hesitate about if the truck will take it or not😏👍 "M2C gives you wings" 😉

[@ronniecreason7870]

Nice video m2c is the best

[@3SonsRC]

Agreed. #ARRMATOUGH #M2CTOUGH #MITCHLOOPERROCKS Thanks so much for your support/Sub. Appreciate your time

Awesome video and great instructions. Thanks for this. Im pumped and ready!

Yeah man, glad you got somthing out of this! More of a refrence to give people confidence that "they can" do this also, and if they have questions. Thanks for your time Rock on brother

[@chemarbb]

Interesting your channel. I suscribe. a greeting

[@3SonsRC]

Thanks buddy, glad you enjoy it, welcome!

[@redblue40rc33]

Have you had any steering problems with that steering crank you installed?.....because 6x8x5mm bearings DO NOT EXIST to replace the sucky stock metal bushings....my Outcast 8s is brand new...haven't ran it yet

[@3SonsRC]

On issue is I didn't use RED loctite first time I ran it and I snapped a stock bolt that goes into the steering ball link.... because it's started loosening under pressure. What's why in the video I say to use Red. But it's been perfect and butter smooth, and I try to send this thing, nothing has broken from the kit just that Arrma bolt but none since the Red. Eric and Rich have also had ZERO issues. Run your truck bro, it's a beast. If I were to get any upgtade, get the Chassis first, then the Hinge Pin Kits, then the steering rack and shock rod ends/pistons. That's my reccomended order, but somtimes your needs might dictate shocks earlier because your having issues. Have fun brother. App your time and support!

[@redblue40rc33]

Just ordered my last hinge pin block for my Outcast 8s......man, taking it apart putting it back together.....nuttin better😎💪...these hinge block kits will fit stock truck without the m2c chassis right???...I don't need the chassis part, cause I don't send it...lol i hop it like a bunny...lol

[@3SonsRC]

Thanks for your time brother, nothing like wrenching and doing the work yourself! Yes these also work with the stock chassis See ya round

[@SpeedSyko]

It’s so beautiful! I still haven’t driven mine with the original body, I just can’t do it?!

[@martinflawless675]

What Steering kit and steering servo would you recommend for upgraded the kraton 8s can you send me a link to a good one but not so expensive

[@3SonsRC]

I got you bro, two options, Power Hd, some say its a bit tricky to install, but that would be my first choice because it trusted brand and waterproof, but I went with a more powerful one that my buddy Rich reccomended, but it's not waterproof but I plan on waterproofing it IF/WHEN I upgrade... Already have it sitting here, stock seems pretty good on BEC 8.4, so not felt the strong need yet. Power HD www.amazon.com/dp/B085W7Z8HB/ref=cm_sw_r_u_apa_fabc_Zf22FbPB3844D SPT one I got banggood.app.link/QCRi3wF8hcb .... Specs are crazy on the 2nd one but you have to waterproof it or not run it in water, I'm sure it can take a splash here or there. 2nd one you also have to purchase the larger servo mount for the Arrma 8s...Google the part. Good luck buddy, if you haven't turned the Bec to 8.4 yet, try that, you might be surprised Appreciate your time and rock on And you know what to do if you appreciate 🎯👍

[@patrickbishop6296]

The servo they suggest at the shop um buying at is 390$ ...is it necessary to have such a large powerful servo for this rig?

[@3SonsRC]

Nooooo I have the stock one still running Bec 7.4 max5 esc. The stock Firma 160 can do Bec 8.4 so even better. I bought a cheap hobbystar (I think) ebay one 70kg💪 one as a backup and still haven't needed it. LHS guys looking for a sale! Appreciate your time brother, hope your enjoying the channel, see ya round

[@damaylaphoenix1155]

nice job, where did you get that outcast license plate?

[@3SonsRC]

It's a sticker brother, comes on the rig. Thanks for your time and kind support, hope your enjoying the channel, see ya round brother

[@damaylaphoenix1155]

@@3SonsRC thanks!

[@paulrakis]

Hi 3 sons. How u guys doing? Do you recommend to use all the 6 screws for the chassis center plate? Right now I'm just using 4 screws to allow flex like you said. For very high sends maybe like 50 feet would you recommend to use all 6 of the screws.

[@3SonsRC]

I have used all the screws since day one. Mitch just said it was an option to not use all if you want. I know I'm kinda stupid going over 135ft distance with this rig and Rich and Eric going bigger.... So I need all the support. I see no real reason to not use all the screws no matter how much you send IMHO. Appreciate RC Famo and hope your enjoying the channel, see ya round brother

[@paulrakis]

@@3SonsRC thanks Dennis that's what rich called you lol. Yes sir I'm definitely gonna put the rest of those screws on before I send her. Yeah was alittle confused at fist but now I'm good. So how is your outcast holding up? I'm always watching you guys. Great channel. 👍

[@3SonsRC]

Man that means a lot brother.... Glad your enjoying it! Which Outcast?? I have 4 😔😜 O8S, Outcast 1/6th Hybrid, 1/8th scale... All M2Cified, and my son's Stock 6s,.... But there all good, Outcast is my favorite... Wild beast 😂😂

[@paulrakis]

@@3SonsRC yeah awesome to here. The 8S with all the M2c goodies. Yeah I love the outcast too I have the 6S as well V4 with some mods. Just built a kraton XL beast which I love. U know the Krajave kraton with the m2c Mojave chassis.

[@3SonsRC]

@@paulrakis yeah man I have one of those Kraton XL as well but mine is a hybrid Outcast 1/6th Scale check my video on that. It's wider, much bigger tires and the Outcast 8s body, body mounts, and wing/wheelie bar. It's the same size as my Outcast 8s only 10 POUNDS lighter 😳😎👍 It's a great platform

[@ARR5ifty]

So will the stock motor mount work on the M2C chassis?

[@3SonsRC]

Yes, M2C one just gives you more strength, and options for motor mounts for different engines. So if you want to just start with the chassis your G2G! After that I suggest the Hinge Pin Kits, then the steering rack....thats the upgrade progression I suggest. Unless you are having issues with the Shock Shafts.... But I haven't bent mine yet.... But I haven't had the chance to go RC DUDE81 big yet 😅😢😉 Appreciate your time bud and thanks for the support/Sub if you like 👍

[@ARR5ifty]

I already have everything but the steering rack Going hold off on that Ive had the truck sitting in the box for 3 weeks already waiting for the parts to slowly get delivered.

[@3SonsRC]

@@ARR5ifty sounds like your gonna go full beefcake on your first bash kinda like I did. It runs awesome stock. Eric (RC DUDE81) ran his crazy hard out the box just to test it. It's really an amazing truck. I just dropped a 39 tooth limitless spool in there and I have close to the tire rotation for corrections and acceleration I need. I'm stupid so I also have a Hobbywing 800kv sitting here to drop in also... But that's for another video 😳😉 #ArrmaTough #M2CTough #MitchLooperRocks Stay safe brother!

[@ARR5ifty]

Yup I can’t wait man!!!!! I also have a 1100kv motor that I’m going drop in also so definitely can’t wait to get this thing out to rip!!!!!

Will this kit work on the exb?

[@3SonsRC]

I'm not aware of any parts that are not compatible with the EXB. Appreciate your time brother and thanks for the question, hope your enjoying the channel, see ya round

[@patrickbishop6296]

The shock arms I think say they are not to use on exb?

[@3SonsRC]

@@patrickbishop6296 what are shock arms brother? Shock Shafts? A Arms? Part numbers or the name for the part off the M2C Website helps. And you know this is the 8s Outcast. The M2C Website should say what parts are compatable and you can always touch base with Avery or Mitch Looper in M2C Facebook groups, I know this stuff well but they work for M2C 😎👍

[@patrickbishop6296]

@3 Sons RC shafts sorry it says not for the exb model
