"Masterpiece" NEW Proline MX28 HP Belted 2.8 with ARRMA Truggified Typhon and Baja 6s

Finally!!! After years of waiting and hoping for the perfect spec, 6s capable 2.8 tire, the wait is over. HUGE shout out to Proline for this lightweight, aggressive Belted Badland!!! The "Truggified" Typhon 6s is easily my favorite RC of all time. Such a versatile little Ripper. No more strapping or taping tires to handle her speed and power. Loving the speed, control, and handling of these MX28 HP wheels. Thanks to ARRMA, M2C Racing, and Fast Track Hobbies in Rocklin, CA for having such a killer inventory of rigs and parts.

Ditto for all the Killer new M2C upgrade options you and Mitch keep changing the bash game with 😍. There's a reason why the global demand for your stuff has exploded. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to making hands down the best parts available!!! 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

Any chance would be able to look into making cen reeper upgrades, its a blast of a truck but needs a few tweaks

[@ParcoUpchurch]

@@richduperbash2966 These MX28 belted look good. They look slimmer too based on your video. I have a 1/10 Losi DB Pro that has the 2.2/3.0 SC Proline tires/rim. The MX28 is a few mm taller/wider 128/53mm compared to my Proline 2.2 112/46mm size. Do you have a Losi or another SC desert buggy with 2.2/3.0 tires/rim...asking if you compared the MX28 belted do they look like monster tires on it or just slightly larger? Thx Sir

I know not everyone wants to be on KZbin, but I love the group bash footage when you get it.

[@GuyonaMoose]

Thank you sir for all the rundown stats pre run man so detailed. I’ve got this exact set up on my v5 I bought this spring. It’s been a total animal and a tank. I’ve gotten something like 70 or 80 batteries through it. I broke a couple t bone bumpers. A wing/mount. And I pulled a bottom screw out from a rear diff case. Long story short it’s been a beast. The perfect rc car imo. IN my 15+ yrs of rcing I’ve never had a car this durable sending it so hard. My smc batts have died now but the typhon still begs for more..

[@richduperbash2966]

[@sixstar2067]

I run these same exact tires on my Truggified Typhon, and I have found that they seem to be light enough that I can get away with running the original straight-cut diff gears. I have a set of new spiral cut gears but I figured I'd see how long it takes to destroy the stock ones before I change over. Well, about 10+ 6S packs later, they're still good. I checked the front and rear today and they're worn in a bit but look absolutely perfect. That is with pretty serious bashing, many, many 25+ ft airs and several severe cartwheels and full-throttle landings to keep it on all 4. Not sure if the v5 has better gears or if it is the tires, but either way ive been really impressed.

[@GuyonaMoose]

I run this exact set up to. It’s a tank. I tore it down first thing to do oils 100k/500k/50k. And shimmed the diffs and what not. I’ve not had a single issue with anything driveline related in over 70 packs. I bought 2 6s 6500mah smc lipos for the car. The batts don’t work anymore but the typhon still lives. Haha I love it

[@sixstar2067]

@@GuyonaMoose Hell yeah brother. I'm so happy I decided to get a Typhon to do the Truggified build. Once I saw the first video where RDB says its his favorite R/C out of all of them that was enough for me. He repeated that sentiment in one of his last few videos. If he likes the Trug. Typhon better than his new 8S EXB Outcast or Kraton that says a hell of a lot for that build. RDB has more experience with Arrmas than me and everyone I know put together lol.

You inspired me to pick up a 3s Typhon last year and it has been my daily driver since the day I got it. I tried the 2.8's but was having some overheating issues with my 20t pinion. I'm running 2.1 badlands on her now with 10mm hub extensions and they are working out awesome. I'm now on an 18t pinion and no more heat issues so I'll have to try the 2.8's again. I'm also going to have to pick up a 6s for sure lol.

[@matts4630]

Another great video Rich, your driving is seriously impressive. I hope Arrma is kicking you down some cash, your Granite videos made that my first purchase back into RC after 20 years. Now, my second vehicle is a Typhon 6s. I'm eyeballing those belted Badlands now after seeing you run them. I'm not sure if you can answer this, but do you think those belted Badlands will fit (and not rub body) without using the hubs from a Kraton? I know they're nowhere near as wide as the standard MX28s. I'd like to order them for a trip I'm going for the 4th, but no time to wrench around before then....eventually I'll switch them over if needed

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Matt 🤗. Stoked to hear about your return to the hobby 😱. You probably wouldn't have body rub with the belted MX28 HP's, but the rear rims would likely rub on the stock Typhon 6s hubs. An alternative to swapping on Kraton hex's, hubs, and stub axels would be considering the M2C +5mm universal hexs. That puts a little more torque on the axels and bearings going that route, but it's a thought. 🍻😎💪👊👊

[@matts4630]

Thanks Rich. Decided to get the hubs/hexes/axles and delivered right on time. Slapped them on tonight and love the look. I think the HPs look better than the wider tires on truggified Typhons. Weight is amazing for a belted tire at 6&3/8 ounces (plastic adapter) compared to my other Duratrax Six Pack belted at 9oz a piece. Can't wait to try it out. Maybe even a 14mm hex adapter for a set on the granite next! Thanks for sharing, keep up the great vids

[@williamperri3437]

I love going back and watching old videos. I bought the parts to Truggify my Typhon earlier this year but never did it yet. I'm gonna do it soon and run my standard Buggy Badlands before I buy these wheels. Also, have you thought about widening the 3s Typhon? I was thinking 4s Kraton arms etc.

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks William 🤗. The Truggified Typhon 6s is still my all time favorite 😍. Such a capable little Beast. My Typhon 3s stands wide because I glued original Badlands 2.8 on Proline F11 2.8 17mm hex rims. You could probably buy them premounted with the raid rims and use their offset 17mm Raid hexes 🤔. In any case, I find the width perfect. The Kraton 4s stance is great, but you'd need bigger 4s shocks, longer shafts, links...etc. They share the same chassis. You'd be basically building a Kraton 4s. 😎💪👊👊

[@richduperbash2966]

Hey Michael 🤗. Great question. I was wondering when someone would ask 👀. I hadn't vented them yet, but was planning to. My bash spots are ultra dry with fine dirt and sand that will suck into the rim holes over time, degrade the foams, and screw up the balance. I've vented other belted wheels without a problem 👍.

Hi Rich, Im a bit late to the party but Im going to truggify my typhon. Instead of using kraton `17mm hexes can I use the m2c + 2mm hexes that were made for the mojave ? Thx bro ! Keep the rubber side down .

[@richduperbash2966]

I'm not sure the +2mm M2C Mojave hexs will work on the Typhon 🤔. If they share the exact same axels and hubs then yes. I'd personally grab the +5mm universal hexs from M2C. They'd provide a wider stance and should fit no problem with multiple set pin spacing options. 🍻😎💪👊👊

[@jordannovek2911]

@@richduperbash2966 Thx for the recommendations, I ordered the + 5mm Hex I also grabbed some proline mx 2.8 hp. Is the O ring important for the hex’s ? Thx bro 😎🔥✌️

[@richduperbash2966]

@@jordannovek2911 I'm not sure what O ring you're referring too 🤔. Some hex extenders like Team Associated come with a metal clip. To cover the hex set pin. You generally don't need one if the axel grub screw is thread locked into place. 🍻

[@kenhowell8403]

Hey Rich, at the risk of sounding like a newbie (which I am) what does truggified mean? Is it making the vehicle more of an off road type unit?

[@richduperbash2966]

Truggified is kind of a nickname for making a buggy a bit bigger like a truggy. It does actually make it better equipped for rougher off road use. The wider stance makes it more stable like a truggy and the taller wheels give it better ground clearance to tackle rougher terrain easier 👍.

[@howardsadofsky7694]

Hey Rich, my 17mm aluminum hex adapters are not fitting. They just seem a mm to small. Did you have any issues?

[@richduperbash2966]

I remember mine having a snug fit, but no issues getting them on. Make sure your hex set pins are flush with the hex. It's possible they're hanging up on the wheel hexes 🤔

[@kasparov9944]

Hey Rich I purchased the same tires and put them on my 6s Typhon, but the tyres seem awfully close to the steering hubs both front and rear, did you somehow space the tyres even further from the hubs?

[@richduperbash2966]

Yes indeed Brother 🤗. I'm running the wider Kraton hubs, hexs, and stub axels. That's the chief change with the "Truggified" Typhon. It's adds an extra inch of width and affords wheel clearance for larger 2.8 rims and tires. 😎💪👊👊

[@theirishaxe9405]

You must have some kind of rc gods luck because I jump 6 get high and something breaks everytime lolol 👍👍💪🤙✌️

[@lridebashitrc9422]

Killer run with the Typhon. Yeah those tires look nice the lugs look the same size and the old Mx 2.8s seemed to get less traction than the backflips LPs. Maybe it’s just me. How do you think they compare? Some absolutely wicked air at the end. Bash on 😎😎

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Brother 👊. These HP's are super fast 👀. This was a challenging, sketchy test site for sure. The terrain didn't have much bite. Lots of ash and hard, bone dry dirt mixed with gravel. The M2 compound is a bit softer and stickier than most Dboots tires from what I've seen. I can't compare these to the LP's really because they're much smaller being 2.8's. I do LOVE the LP's though 😍. For Truggified Typhon size 2.8's, these are probably the best wheels I've ever ran on 6s power. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks for both the question and the answer, I'm planning on building a truggified Typhon from a TLR tuned Typhon base so that's very helpful!

[@FarmerFpv]

@@euqat That's exactly what I did. I truggyfied my Typhon TLR tuned. The shock shafts are a weak point I have been 3 since truggyfying mine. I believe M2C has beefy shock shafts. If so I'm going that route. Other than that the TLR is solid. The chassis is much stronger than the regular Typhon chassis. It's actually real machined Aluminum not stamped aluminum, Good luck, you're going to love it. She is an animal!

Hi. This is Marc from Parkflyers RC. Having trouble calibrating throttle only a hobbywing ESC with a Traxxas s TQI 5 channel radio. Steering on my works. Not sure what throttle setting I need. Please help.

[@richduperbash2966]

Hey Marc 🤗. I haven't calibrated using that controller before. Not sure if it requires a different procedure 🤔. Most Hobbywings require you to hold the set button upon start up to enter calibration or "throttle setup" mode. Then you press set for neutral, set again with full throttle, and again with full brake. I often refer to the ESC manual to confirm calibration steps. 😎💪👊👊

[@evo165]

Hi sir, does the new belted mx28 give you the same air control as the non-belt mx28? It seem to me the non-belt & heavier mx28 give much better air control for back flip etc. Please correct me if I am wrong. I am getting next set of mx28, just not sure should I go for the belted version.

Great video as always rich! I've been running the belted mx2.8s on my truggified typhon for about a year now and absolutely love them. They have handled everything I've thrown at them. Haven't had to reglue the bead once. Proline did an amazing job 👏 with them. If you don't mind me asking, what weight shock oil do you run in your typhon? I have the m2c zrs setup and haven't been able to dial it in 😕! Thanks in advance 👍

[@richduperbash2966]

Thanks so much Daniel 🤗. Think I was running 60 weight 🤔. I'm actually swapping on extra old prototype ZRS caps and pistons I had stored away. I'llprobably go with 60-80 weight this time around depending on what piston hole size if I modify them. Not sure if these were base pistons. Spent weeks tinkering to get the right size for production, but that was more for the Kraton with stock 80 weight. 🍻😎💪👊👊

@@Andy-sg3yv you can do just the wider +5mm universal hexes (they fit all the ARRMA 6s trucks) or you can pair wider Kraton hubs, stub axels, and hexes. Those 3 are designed to fit together. My preference is to use the Kraton parts, but the M2C hexes will give you the wheel clearance to run 2.8 wheels.

These videos man..😍 Does the typhon still flip well with the belted tires our would you recommend the normal ones for moderate skate park bashing. I just love flipping😄👊

[@richduperbash2966]

For moderate skatepark bashing, non-belted could work. On 6s power, they will balloon big-time with harder throttle. It's a tough call at the skatepark because you generally don't need full power. 🍻

[@niko1622]

Just tried them at the skate park. Backflips are barely possible but you need alot of height. Ive heard someone say putting 200k in the center diff helps alot for flipping. What do you think about that🤔😄 Have an awesome day buddy🥳

CONGRATS on the ZRS setup 😱. I recommend starting with stock 80 weight oils (or 1000cst). Go up to 90-100 if it feels too soft for your taste or you run heavier Lipos perhaps. 🍻😎💪👊👊
