That truck is a great value, all the way around. Its definitely in the proverbial "solid" category.

[@christianhvidt6823]

One bad monster-Willy💥

[@restinpiecesrc5528]

Still looks like a blast to drive, cant wait to see some bmx track bashing and maybe even skate park

[@gonzodetroitify]

The 1st real bash 6s N’all 💎 Jaytee 😎 that’s how you do thanks man

[@RC4all]

Wow, held up great. The hit where the battery came out looked bad too. Nice run 👍🏼

[@twrecks116]

Looks to be a Good Truck! “Redcat/ Associated” have a Winner here! 🏆😎

[@JayTeeRC]

😆

[@JPistols]

Nice bash’n session. Truck looks and sounds solid. Good stuff sir. As usual, great vid. 🤟😎

[@jeremytrc3171]

I just got mine, and I absolutely love it. Been bashing the hell out of it, not one break !! Yet!! Knock on wood😆😆😆 . Did not know you could run the mt8 on 2s as well. Thanks for the info. 👍👍👍👊🚀🌜So far I'm thinking she's a keeper😁😁😁👋

[@experiencewithmartin972]

can you run it on 3s ? Do you think team associated might get out of business? I want to buy the mt8 too

[@CptAngelKGaming]

@@experiencewithmartin972 You can run it on 3s both the ESC and motor manual say so. It says 3-6s. I wouldn't run it on 2s that seems a bit weird.

[@experiencewithmartin972]

@@CptAngelKGaming I ended up getting traxxas maxx v1 for 500 euros. What a bargain ! This thing is amazing.

[@Basherqueen]

Awesome Bashing session JayTee! ! You only bend one rear upper arm on the bad landing. The rig took it really good! 👍💪

[@JayTeeRC]

tks! we need stronger ones!

[@williamperri3437]

Jay Tee 1st on the scene. Thing looks tough though.

[@MrtipRC]

Tighten your servo saver a tad bit

[@johngantner9314]

Its here! just recvd from fed ex. i ordered jan 11th!

[@JPRC_CRAZINESS]

Hell yeah😎👊🏻that’s what I’m talking about!! That wheelie bar is tough to take a impact like that

[@gregorymoreland2140]

What was the clicking noise

[@B.K._BerndK.]

Nice 👍🏻 😍

[@rcguygarage]

GUY get and bring a small ramp for that curb entry to a NICE soft grass landing 😜

[@JayTeeRC]

Yeah I tried that before but I end up missing the ramp once. Hitting the curve at 50 mph is not cool

[@rcguygarage]

@@JayTeeRC yes definitely carnage but you've got this GUY! Maybe couple angled wooden blocks at the left and right. Even if you take the 7 that stuff will fit 👍💯👊 time to kick it up a notch

[@robsrcinsanity1220]

I would like to see this compared to the extended kajui. I love the 10th scale rival, this one looks great.

[@johngantner9314]

Thankyou so much for the Entertainment. since i preordered this the Maxx v2, Fireteam, and sledge came out. id like to see a comparison between those see if it was worth the wait!

[@2040RC]

Nice run and session mate, this truck it's interesting, we want to see in action in a skatepark 😀

[@williamperri3437]

Don't think it'll do as good as the 10 scale Rival or the Redcat MT10E but maybe.

[@bsbigrcadventures2089]

Need to get one now how fast is that lol love it bud

[@JayTeeRC]

see my recent speed test over last few days. it's fast enough for a MT

[@wesontwowheels]

Yeah I wanna see the regular kaiju and this out in a video mate I bought a kaiju recently and it's holding up well its a tonne of fun, but seeing this too I want it aswell

[@4doersrc758]

Looks like a solid rig.. especially for the price

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

My steering rack broke after 10 min or so. They got new assembly on the way though. Hopefully it will be a one time thing! Such a great size and fun driving truck.

[@ghost_304]

U can tell it’s just like a Kaiju , When I compared both kaiju and mT8 u can see a lot of same parts from kaiju on it . It’s definitely a. Fun truck to bash around play with on 2,3 , 4, even 6s with it . Redcat has a lot of parts on it.

[@joseCalderon1976]

I would put longer straps plus one across the long way across the battery tray so that stops happening. Good stuff. It looks more durable than the V1 Kaiju out of the box 👍. I disagree about the stock tires on 6s for the Kaiju . I've given them hell for like a year now on 6s. The only time I've torn one is when I was trying the self riding thing 😁

[@FeralRC]

I believe it was Roadside RC who opened the diffs and found barely any oil in them at all. I think I'll address that today before I even do my first run.

[@longboardguy]

This truck seems to run well even on 6S it handle good. It looks like a tough smaller 1/8 scale. I may buy one yet. Your vid’s do that to a guy Jay haha 💵

[@BEASTMODERC]

I would definitely open up the differentials mine we’re pretty much empty

[@mac305mia01]

Definitely need diff tuning. I'm doing 250 center ,75 front, 30 rear.. also Kaiju sway bars fits this as well.

[@randyseaver8319]

Same problem down here in Florida! They keep building and less places to run ! You'd figure the county or city would pick up on this and capitalize on a piece of property for the growing r.c. enthusiast! It's a win ,win! $$$$$$ Duh!!!! 10 dollars to 20 to go and crawl or bash or just race!🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@JayTeeRC]

🤔

[@youtubeuser5424]

Do you feel the shocks need any tuning?

[@JayTeeRC]

I don't the way I drive

[@pinheadrc6027]

What weight of dif oil did you use and what do you recommend.Thanks

[@69dforce]

those powerhobby belted tires i see that they look to be pretty close to the stock tires but in the specs on the site it states they are 6.8in diameter can you clarify that ? thanks 6.8 would be huge for this truck i would think

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

What heat sink is that? That little motor gets hot!

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

Would love to see the mentioned Kaiju and Max comparison with this.

[@kevinrogers8352]

Do the diffs need to be checked before running?

[@user-nu2pp5tc5q]

Hi, just curious how can you tell you need oil in the diffs? Is it the way it drives or a sound it makes. Have a couple of Arrmas and don't want to pull the diffs apart unless needed. Thanks and I just subscribed!

[@BASSstarlet]

In general, if you see the front wheels taking most of the power (more ballooning than the front) you need thicker oil in the center diff.

[@SnoriRC]

More ballooning than the front??

[@captaincouldverc]

Personally from what I've seen so far, I think belted tires are overkill for this rig. A set of Backflip LPsc would be better for longevity purposes as they're way lighter than belted tires and will have less rotating mass... possibly cheaper too? I don't know the price of those PH tires.

[@FeralRC]

I was actually quite surprised how light the Powerhobby Raptors were. They aren't far off from Duratrax of comparable size. After seeing JayTee's speed run I'd say belted tires on 6s are very worth it. They aren't Proline expensive but they're up there around $100 if you catch a deal.

[@captaincouldverc]

@@FeralRC Bro. Come on. My kraton exb does about 65 maybe 70mph on 6s. I've never run belted tires on it. The backflip LPs don't balloon like the 6s version tires. Hell, the 6s backflips don't balloon near as much as those mt8 either but I imagine those might be way too big for it wheelbase. That little mt8 rig only does 50ish. My mt10 will do almost 50, and I don't run belted tires on it. Put that ph tire on a scale, and see exactly how many grams heavier it is. More rotating mass is a sure way to ruin reliability. Belted tires are overkill for many rcs.

[@FeralRC]

@@captaincouldverc night and day difference putting Powerhobby Defenders on my MT10. Control at speed on pavement as well as air control was a huge difference. Definitely worth it. But to each his own apparently.

[@captaincouldverc]

@@FeralRC If you want that mt10 to really handle better, get some hub extensions on it and widen it by about 25-30mm. See my video for example. I have links to the product(not my product just a good find) I'll also be making a follow up on it for another brand option that appears to require no modification to the stub axles like the ones I have currently. But this new set does require them to be slightly modified. I plan on doing that video Sunday, and hopefully posting it within the week. Sadly I'm new to video so I've got alot of learning.

[@ALAN-xy7td]

what diff oil you recommend?

[@kookiethebear]

@JayTee RC Why do you think it needs diff oil? Consider showing what you talk about next time - that the battery is a tight fit.

[@mac305mia01]

Can you do a side by side size comparison with these wheels and the stock wheels?

[@beamshobbyshack266]

I want to see thr comparison.

[@greatwhitenorthrc509]

You know a guy waited for this truck but so far looks like nothing I would want in my line up , unfortunately I don’t dig the short chassis trucks !

[@TheChad435]

I tried holding out for this truck, but the Sketer for the price and 6s parts won me over.

[@JayTeeRC]

great choice too

[@ljsmixbox44]

Hi Jay Tee RC, You must have a hobby shop. You have some nice cars. I have a question..How do I set my brake punching power to 50% ? I have a JLB Cheetah brushless. It have this sudden stop even if I go light on the brakes.
