I Built The Worlds Strongest RC Basher From SCRATCH!

[@AndrewSury]

Building is the best part of the hobby. Heavily modding an old 6s Kraton next week.

[@DoRC]

Yeah it was definitely a very fun build!

Awesome build and killer flips and jumps! thanks for punishing the parts And for letting us be a part of it!!

Glad you enjoyed!

[@sendtherctothemoon]

Timelapses would be awesome. Some light music and the back and its easily my faviorite thing to watch on rc cars. Honestly my faviorite part to building and adding new parts onto rc cars.

[@DoRC]

Yeah I'm actually adding more time lapses into the videos. Personally I'm not really that into them but it does tie the video together better. Thanks!

[@runngunrc1991]

Is their a big difference between aluminum bulkheads opposed to plastic? Specifically in performance.

[@DoRC]

They're not going to make the car any faster or more powerful but there are a lot stronger. This means that it's less likely you'll break the ears off if the shock tower takes a hard hit and also less likely that you'll strip years because the aluminum won't flex as much as plastic will which will keep the gears in more consistent relation with each other.

Just catching up, that thing is a beast bro!!

[@GreatLakesRC]

I love a good scratch build! 🤩🤩 I was trying to look through that massive pile of parts and couldn’t catch everything you did. Maybe lay it all out for a one shot that can be paused to see every upgrade 🤷‍♂️

[@DoRC]

I will make sure to do that in the future!

[@FarmerFpv]

The basher queen carbon fiber towers are super thick I havntt bnroke any yet. Are those basher queen or M2C carbon fiber parts?

[@DoRC]

Both:) M2C bought out Basherqueens carbon business so they are on in the same.

[@mathewgarrard3621]

What a machine looks so cool with out the rear wing looks so different, and it just looks so right

[@DoRC]

Yeah I think it's awesome without the rear wing. It helps with self righting as well. Definitely leave the body exposed though. I have a 3D printed tailgate on mine that you can see in the video. It helps a lot :-) thanks for watching!

[@mathewgarrard3621]

@@DoRC 👍👍👍

[@nc2827]

Takes a lot of guts to buy all of those parts, put it together, and then let it eat like that. Turned out really well and seems to perform fantastic, a passion project no doubt. I think for most of us though, just the stock(ish) stuff will be enough lol. Also, my vote is to keep the same format, I enjoy the sped up build process!

[@DoRC]

Yeah it's definitely not for the faint of heart but it was an awesome build :-) definitely one that's going to be in the collection for a while. Thanks for the vote on the format!

[@savagex466-qt1io]

Am I missing something here bud ? What is it ? Is it the arrma outcast or notorious. They look the same to me what is the main diffrence ? Thanks bud nice rc ! @@DoRC

[@DoRC]

savagex466 The Outcast and notorious originally were basically the same truck just with different bodies. Then the outcast EXB RTR came out and it included a bunch of upgrade parts such as 7075 Towers a 7075 chassis etc. The RTR outcast was discontinued at that time. Currently you can get the RTR notorious or the RTR outcast EXB. If I had to put a label on this truck I would probably call it an outcast EXB because it has the Outcast body and EXP differentials but the vast majority of the truck beyond that is all upgrades so it would be fair to call it either one I think. Clear as mud? :-)

[@savagex466-qt1io]

sorry forgot to say i know i can read outcaste was just wondering if there was notorious parts used and wahts the main diffrence between the 2 thanks bud.@@DoRC

[@DoRC]

savagex466 some of the screws came from a notorious and there are some bearings in there I think from a notorious. The plastic part of the body mounts are from a notorious and I think that's it.

[@1337zaze]

Hey man, Great Video. Im doing a similar build. Can you tell me what motor mount this is or do you have the part number of it? Thanks 🙏

[@DoRC]

Motor Mount is stock. The center diff mount is a generic aluminum one I got off of Amazon. I wouldn't recommend it though as it didn't really fit well. Hot racing makes one that I've used before though and it's good.

[@jasonridgeway4541]

What happened to the M2C rear shock tower brace? Its in the beginning of the video but not in the end of the video. Did you drill through the carbon fiber rear shock tower?

[@DoRC]

I explain it at the end of the video. The first tower actually broke right at the brace. It didn't break where I drilled through it but it did break right at the edge of the brace. The brace doesn't allow the carbon fiber to flex enough and it failed. I replaced it with a new tower for the second part of the video and had no issues after that.

[@tommy1504]

That thing is a beast. Nice build!

[@DoRC]

Thanks man It was a lot of fun to build!

[@Ryndel]

Did you do anything to strengthen the diffs? I found my notorious' weakest part were the crown input gear. Proper shims helped but I might just move to exb diffs from jennys.

[@DoRC]

Properly shimmed EXB diffs in aluminum housings hold up really well. That's what I'm running here. Thanks for watching :-)

[@olafstrand9965]

Interesting build

[@DoRC]

I'm very happy with it :-)

[@RCPropaganda]

wow. sick build man. I think it is worst the money to build it from scratch.

[@DoRC]

Yeah it was a lot of fun! I think I probably could have saved money if I had just bought an RTR took the pieces off it that I needed and then sold the rest off but that's okay :-) thanks for watching!

Do you have the part number for the rear bumper?

Not sure about the specific part number but it is the RPM 6S Arrma front bumper. Because the screw holes are the same front and rear it'll fit on the back as well. Thanks for watching!

[@ericruiz77rx]

Love your videos and great build, just curious was the estimated total cost of this build? A new subscriber and will be watching all your upcoming vids… nice work

[@DoRC]

As a scratch build minus electronics You're probably looking at around $1,500. That being said this was more of a passion project than what I would consider a practical basher build. You can get most if not all of the durability that this truck has for probably half. If you start with an EXP brand new, stick with the stock electronics and sell off the stock parts as new when you upgrade a This can be done at least reasonably economically.

[@surfside75]

Twice I upgraded to this top level with RTR kits. Never again. -building chassis up is the way to go for top level durability. All aluminum, titanium and carbon fiber✅️

[@DoRC]

Definitely a fun project!

[@S5UPERCHARGED]

Need to see a torture test on this. Still reckon my rival mt10 and savage would last longer for way cheaper 😅

[@DoRC]

Honestly I think that the test I put it through represent a pretty good reasonable torture test. Obviously if you push anything far enough you can break it but I don't really think that represents a realistic scenario. MT-10 maybe but Savage, unless you've put a lot of upgrades into it, no way. I've had plenty of savages over the years and they just are not up to the level of durability of even a stock modern basher. They are still fun though :-) thanks for watching!

[@arakainer]

Great video as always, the only thing you forgot is indestructible body

[@DoRC]

Yeah the industrial bodies are really cool The only thing I don't like about them is that they're very heavy. I've also been having a hard time getting a hold of them lately. I found that a stock body properly reinforced lasts a long time. Thanks for watching!

[@bohan9957]

What is your verdict on GPM Racing? Their parts have been hit or miss over the years, but recently some of their offerings appear to be very attractive and are priced reasonably. I'm still a bit hesitant to try it though.

[@DoRC]

I've been really happy with their new stuff. Actually I already have a couple videos reviewing some of it. About a year ago they got some new engineers in and really changed their processes. Since then their stuff's actually been really good. Thanks for watching if you enjoyed the video a sub is appreciated :-)

[@bohan9957]

@@DoRC That's awesome to hear, thanks!

[@DoRC]

Definitely worth giving another try

[@nathansales9451]

Was it worth it?

[@DoRC]

That's tough to quantify. It was a lot of fun and the resulting vehicle is a work of art but it was also extremely expensive and I think you could get the vast majority of the durability for a lot less money. You also kind of end up chasing your tail with this sort of thing because the more you upgrade it the heavier it gets which tends to find the next weak point in the chain. Ultimately I don't regret doing it but I probably wouldn't recommend it to somebody else.

[@cjchannel12RC]

Cool build, I'm planning to buy an Arrma Kraton 6s RTR or a Corally Kronos XTR 2022 edition. This morning i saw on amain that the Outcast 8s EXB is on sale for 400 bucks i'm really tempted to pull the trigger on it.

[@DoRC]

Yeah that's a pretty killer deal though you'll spend a lot more than that making it a really durable basher. I would strongly suggest the 6S vehicles unless you've got a bunch of money to sink into it.

[@cjchannel12RC]

@@DoRC It is a killer deal but i already own an X-Maxx 8s which is more durable and lighter. I also might get an Arrma Kraton 6s RTR V5 or a Kronos XTR someday and put a nice system in it i traded away my Sledge to make room for a new 8th scale truck.

Yeah I'm pretty much constantly selling cars to make room for new ones. I wouldn't be able to afford to do things like this if I didn't consistently sell down my collections :-)

Love the video from an old newby just getting in to the rc game ended up with a 3.3 revo nitro its a blast i am thinking about building a bigger ride do you have any sugestions where to start for someone that loves to tinker but really dosent know anything lol i am 58 yousa i enjoy including the kids and grand kids so it needs to be fast and durable 😊

[@DoRC]

It really depends on what your goals are. There aren't a ton of options for large scale kits. Most stuff is either RTR or there are some rollers. What are you wanting to accomplish?

@DoRC That is the problem I don't know, l o l I have been looking at some of the arma rollers I will just be bashing around just wanting something a little bigger And Durable, I can take time building.

@@DoRC What upgrades I should think about any information would be greatly appreciated even on what to look at thx much

[@DoRC]

Well this car wouldn't be bigger than your 3.3 but it might be a really good project. Take a look at the tekno MT410. The kit is pretty inexpensive It's a very durable vehicle out of box and a lot of fun to drive and companies like M2C make a ton of upgrades for them.

[@douglikins2326]

@DoRC Wonderful I will take a look and really appreciate your time and input I will keep watching your videos So possibly I can learn something lol wish I would have gotten into this a long time ago

[@LyhneRC]

Great build, but you could also just have bought a Maxx. We had sent ours through the same amount of damage as in this video multiple times and so far nothing has broken yet 👍

[@DoRC]

I have a maxx and It's my daily basher. I think I've owned four of them since they came out. I agree they are incredibly durable. It's the car I grab when I want to just smash something up and feel confident that it won't be broken when I get done. That wasn't really the point of this video though The point was to build something extreme from the ground up that was almost fully upgrades. I don't think just showing a picture of my nearly stock max and then taking it out back and bashing it would make for a very compelling story :-)

[@peetor7]

Great concept and build. Love to know how much damage your wallet took. Would be great to see a list of parts you need to do this. 👍

[@DoRC]

So it's basically the M2C beefcake kit, all of the M2C carbon fiber parts that they offer, M2C CVDs dog bones front rear drive shafts basher Queen Center brace, a set of EXB differentials, vitavon bulkheads and front and rear hubs and knuckles and a handful of stock parts from Jenny's. I'm not sure I want to actually add all that up but it's a lot :) Like I said in the video probably not something I would recommend doing as a practical thing. It's more of a labor of love than a realistic project. You can get the vast majority of the durability with far fewer upgrades.

Tekno's are great, but you'd loose that battle my friend, no way it holds up against a Beefcake Outcast, minus them shock towers, I would have gone M2C 7075 for the tiny bit more weight. Now if it's M2Cified Tekno vs this Outcast.... 😮😮 That's a battle that needs to happen. BUT I bet the Tekno's handle better😍✌️

[@DoRC]

@@3SonsRC Yeah the tekno would definitely a little better. So far I've been really impressed with these towers. I did break one but it was completely my fault and the replacement has held up to quite a bit of abuse especially given that it doesn't have the rear wing to protect it. But yeah like I said in the video if you want ultimate in strength the M2C 7075 Towers will be the way to go.
