[@CommanderAstigRC]

Well done Bro Dennis 👍. Another killer M2C how-to and install. Great tips along the way as well. Gotta Love M2C Goodies. Top stuff my friend.

[@3SonsRC]

Thanks for your support and kind words as always brother Chris. The family of 6s Upgrades by M2C are unmatched for sure! Thanks for coming by friend

[@olafstrand9965]

just got my hands on a set of these on a used rc I just got. Wow! all my rigs need this now! Great job both everyone involved!

[@3SonsRC]

Yes sir these Hinge Pins are ROCK!! Mitch and Avery @M2C are killing the game right now! Thanks for stopping by, hope you are enjoying the channel brother, see ya round

[@chrissmall4778]

Just installed both kits on my Kracken! This install vid was perfect!! Great job! The RC community thank you! Keep flying Arrma pilot!!

[@3SonsRC]

That's awesome brother. These Kits are super tough Beefcake... Thanks for your support brother always, glad you enjoyed. Appreciate you!

[@averylooper5534]

awesome video. thanks for this. i have these and havent installed them yet. no excuse now..

[@3SonsRC]

Ha, I guess this is some motivation then 🙂 These kits are outstanding, so we'll build, butter smooth, and toughens up the ends of the truck soooo much! Combine these with the chassis, chassis braces, tower Support, and towers, and it forms a skeleton of toughness to go 🚀🚀🚀 Thanks for your time brother

It seems like that control arm has some binding, it doesn t seem to move freely...not a problem?

It should move freely brother. Are your pillow ball retainers tightened too much?

[@EastTactics]

What about the two screws that go up from the bottom of the chassis for the rear front hinge? Are they not used?

[@3SonsRC]

Great question brother. No they are not used. I wouldn't mind if they were utilized, but these things have not budged a bit with hard bashing, Rich and Eric no issues either. I guess if you do it right it's not necessary. Mitch know All 🤣😂

Awesome video as always, I'll be ordering my hing pin kits for my v4 6s kraton this week.

[@3SonsRC]

Appreciate Josh.... Thanks for stopping by brother Yeah them Hinge pin kits have saved my arms so many times amung other saves! Absolutely a lifesaver these upgrades from M2C are! Appreciate your time See ya round brother

[@matthewcoleman9486]

So I really like the idea of the Delrin inserts. My one thought though is wouldn't this make it a lot harder to replace the arms if they break? It looks almost like you'd have to pull the whole tower and all off to swap out an arm.

[@3SonsRC]

Great question, your not the only one to wonder this. The Delrin is SUPER strong to start with... Far from average plastic. The disadvantage of being metal Hinge pin going into a metal Hinge pin hole is the rough landings will eventually cause the metal Hinge pin hole to open bigger, causing slop, I have seen this myself with several other aftermarket options before I went M2C... The metal to metal will break down and almost make the block unuseable, loose control and accuracy etc. So Mitch Designed😎👍 the inserts to eventually wear and be replaced as opposed to replacing the whole block. Makes it smoother than metal on metal. Mitch includes a few extra I believe when you order and they can be purchased seperatley.... But I have only had to replace two little bushings after MONTHS of hard bashing and I have these in 4 of my rigs, and I am far from careful with my rigs. Yes it's maintenance to have to get in there, but more costly to replace the whole block from damages AND maintenance is part of the Hobby.... I just check them when I'm in there doing other things and 90% of the time they are still fine. Appreciate your time and again, great question. See ya round brother

[@matthewcoleman9486]

@@3SonsRC sorry I was asking if one of arms broke. I recently ran into a fence with one of mine and broke a front lower arm. It wasn't difficult to replace as the hinge pins are easy to pull out. If they are in there with red thread locker I could imagine having to take a lot more apart to replace an arm.

[@Northside910]

Great video can you do a video installing a m2c front hinge pin kit (3616)on the front of a talion exb v5

[@3SonsRC]

Thanks brother.... Appreciate the kind support. It's pretty much the same process brother, only difference is the front locks into the Bumper which is a HUGE UPGRADE over the base model.... I use that one all the time now. Not in a rush to do mure install videos right now brother they take a ton of effort but I do like to support the community with them.... I have Installs for.most M2C Parts for 6s and 8s Rigs.... Enjoy and see ya round

[@DonnieKluck]

Hey buddy when you are tighting up the lock nuts at the very end. What do you mean by it should float? What should be floating? Are you talking that the delran washer should be free floating between the hinge pin bracket and lock nut?

[@3SonsRC]

The nut should turn as the arm goes up and down. The bolts are locking so you don't have to go stupid tight,, 😎👍

[@DonnieKluck]

@@3SonsRC thanks I think I understand. I am making progress. Almost done with the rest I think

[@NepDouble07]

I have a question. I bought the rear hinge pin blocks labeled M2C3615 and it says it's compatible with the Kraton, Mojave 6s V4, V5 and EXB. It says it's not compatible with the outcast 6s explicitly... But I'm assuming it would be considering the Kraton 6s and outcast 6s are exactly the same minus some longer parts specifically for the longer chassis.

[@3SonsRC]

Yeah you should be fine bro, same thing, good luck

[@doitalldad3499]

Great video!! I just installed this set up and love it. My only issue is the bumper. Is there a bumper that will work? Please let me know. Thanks.

[@3SonsRC]

T-Bones Typhon bumper and RPM bumper work with this kit.....i definitely reccomend the RPM more ✌️👍 Appreciate the kind support, glad you liked the video and the channel. These M2C kits are essential.... Enjoy bro and Bash on

[@doitalldad3499]

@@3SonsRC , thanks for the quick response. I probably should have said that I installed it on a Kraton 6s V5. RPM doesn't make a bumper yet for the V5.

[@paulclancy2404]

I bend stock hinge pins all time , does he also sell the stock pins hardend still , i have alot arrmas i wanted do all them with hardened pins ,this cool set up im going get but only for one my rigs at this time

[@3SonsRC]

Yes M2C does do Hardened Steel stock pins... I used them before I upgraded to the Kit. The kit works so much better than stock though because the issue is the stock Metal inserts will give, and let the pin go and then it will bend (even possible with hardened steel ones but less likley) and break the arm too. So yeah the stock pins are better... But the Kit is the REAL SOLUTION.... Helps you send it with real confidence! But nothing is indestructible, but I have yet to have a M2C product fail me😳 and I go pretty big and have taken so crazy bad BIG HITS.... Check some of my older bashing videos. Appreciate your time and great questions. Thanks for the support

[@paulclancy2404]

@@3SonsRC i have checking out videos, oh ik i been bashing arrmas for while now , some my cars already have upgrades homemade and hr and stuff , im going buikd a m2racing basher now tho , i have trouble finding places to go really big but I'm a very good driver years practice beating racing anything I coukd pays off in fun bashing the arrnas for over year following guys like rich Tom Eric i forget kids name rc bashing kraton he gr8 guy too i follow you now too also i really am jealous you thats great you have 3 sons of age to bash with priceless my son 21 now just plays dam computer when he was 15 or so I let him kill my slashs i really wasn't into rc or coukdnt afford tbh raising 2 kids by myself but now its like semi retirement bc they grown haha i wish , so yea i mostly bash in my yard. But its convenient enough to do everyday, another thing that happens once you win hindgepin battle 😆 is the a arms will actually wear the inner circumference obblong eventually but you put arrma together everything tight and new you will wear a arms even RPm its like something will always have to give or wear on machines like over 400 mph if did math in scale

[@jordannovek2911]

Great info and video. Is the a hinge pin kit and block kit for the exb ? Peace !

[@3SonsRC]

Great question brother! As of right now there is no compatibility with the front one because of the bumper on the EXB.... Mojave as well. But I believe you can do rear No Problem👍.... And if you switch to a RPM bumper in the front you would be good there as well! The EXB bumper is great, but I will take a M2C front Hinge Pin Kit and RPM bumper every time! Even the way the RPM bumper uses all 4 bottom diff screws to secure is better than the EXB bumper.... But I do love the impact Zone on the EXB bumper. Both options work, I just have my preferences. Thanks for your time Jordan, hope your enjoying the channel, See ya round brother

[@jordanritchie2198]

Nice vid. I ordered mine 2 days ago. How much shorter screw do ya need if useing HR diff case?

[@3SonsRC]

Actually you can just use the shorter ones that come in the HR screw pack, was just letting y'all know not to bother with the M2C ones on the HR Bulkheads. 👍 Appreciate your time buddy, appreciate the support, and thanks for coming by!

[@jordanritchie2198]

Sweet thanks. And np I been watching alot ur vids just finished up on the droop screw setting. Killer way to explain it I keep busting rod ends so just ordered some teckno ones and will adjust the droop hope that will help. But keep them come.

[@mightyswagga]

Do these hinges rectify the factory preset toe in on the rear arms on the Arrma 6s rigs

[@3SonsRC]

No, they go with the geometry of the stock setup. In order to change that you would have to change the bulkhead, Chassis and other things,,,, then pars would not be compatible. As far as I know the Toe is intentional to absorb impacts? That's what I thought, as Long as it drives straight that's what matters. Might want to check race truggies, I think they have it as well. As far as I know it's not a bad thing

[@surfside75]

So the toe in in the rear can be solved with the CRCU 0 degree RF Typhon Hinge pin block. Ordered some for my show truck and basher because that toe in effects turning is too sharp. This 0 degree toe in should help.

What we doing with rear wings on outcast , i just snapped another , rpm work good but those screws constantly bend break , will that tower brace mitch has support that I windering ?

[@3SonsRC]

The tower support is one of the most innovative pieces M2C has, it might help the wing mount a bit but not too much. It IS built to transmit shock from the rear down into the chassis down through the Chassis brace.... It's a great upgrade.... Highly Recommend. But there are certain parts of the truck that NEED to remain plastic, bendable, and at times breakable (our own fault.... Bad landings)... They break and absorb impact from our bad wrecks INSTEAD of being metal and transmitting that impact to the bulkhead or somthing.... I would much rather change out a wingmount than a bulkhead.... I hate replacing those. I have upgraded many of my Bulkheads to RPM, but I'm happy to have plastic wingmounts hubs and RPM arms to flex and absorb shock. I don't think M2C will change the wingmounts. They are a necessary weakness..... Hope that makes sence But definitely get the Tower Support! Appreciate your time and great question!

[@paulclancy2404]

@@3SonsRC your right 100 percent , it a cheap fix you know screw talking about i snap em constantly , rpm bulk heads ? For arrma you mean HR cases? I thought i had every rpm upgrade

[@3SonsRC]

Yes, some call them diff cases, but I call the Bulkheads and many times that's how they are labeled by the parts manufacturer. You can see in the video when I grab the other completed rear of the truck, I use a HR Bulkhead.... They are super important for hardcore bashing and to literally save your RC butt. Definatley in the rear, in my Kraton I have them front and rear. I really like the HR Bulkheads, rpm for arms and bumpers, M2C for everything else. Appreciate your time

Not sure exactly what your asking. I don't have a rear steel bumper. I do have a T-bone Racing front bumper flipped into the rear.... The black one? OR are you asking about the chrome looking plate on the rear? That is a M2C rear skid plate, and they can go straight in the chassis or with a bumper in between and comes with both sets of screws.

@@3SonsRC yep the Arrma hinge is soft easy to bend that is what I don't like . the first version m2c hinge and pin not good neither . the hinge does not screw down to chassis on hard impact it will rip off screws from chassis to diff .

The hinge is just soft aluminum but after many landing and crash it still hold up .thank to screw that hold the hinge to chassis . just my 2 cent . have a great summer time with your hobby .
