The way i look at it, I'm never going to do 30 foot jumps of death (or in your case simple stunts). So between the xmaxx and new v2 exb outcast, i gotta ask what would i enjoy more for ripping around and modest jumping. Outcast is so much more truck for the money, and tears the ground up in a way I've not seen out of a stock rc truck.. ever. This thing is next level. Plus the quality of the stock electronics, easier to work on, Its a no brainer 🤣 for $1k it actually feels like a good price, and much more of an actual investment in the long run.
@richduperbash296611 ай бұрын
I love all my rigs, but the Outcast 8s EXB RTR is WAY more fun than a stock XMaxx. You nailed it about the electronics and ease of access with maintenance. The gears and drivetrain are legit, unlike the pot metal crap Traxxas cheaps out with. Yes, the XMaxx is fun, but it can't do a moderate speed turn without rolling over and it's durability is highly overrated. When you compare what you actually get for 1k it becomes a no brainer which is the better value 🍻

Watching these videos made me get mine a couple of weeks back and I love it! Bash on brother One question please - I’m currently running 30/47 gearing and it’s great - how much different did you find the 25/39 compared to the stock setup? 🤙🏽🤙🏽
@richduperbash296621 күн бұрын
That's awesome Brother!!! Love this platform 😍. 30/47 is essentially the same gear ratio as 25/39. That said, I like having the motor sit more inwards in the chassis bay and on the motor mount. I've taken a liking to the 39T spur. Can't explain it, but it seems to transfer power smoother through the drivetrain 🤔. Could just be less teeth having to mesh, I'm not sure.
@Modified32521 күн бұрын
@@richduperbash2966 that’s what I was thinking re the gear ratio that’s why I wanted opinion on it! Makes sense - I’ll give it a try, maybe with the less teeth to mesh it may even keep the temps a little cooler?! How you finding the mx57’s for jumps/landings compared to the BB’s it comes with?
@richduperbash296621 күн бұрын
The MX57's are faster and very predictable with the handling. They still balloon a bit under hard throttle which is great for jumping and landing. I love the stock BB Backflips, but the MX57's hold a line better at high speed and have become favorites of mine.

Arrma has stepped up big time. That's one super tough rig out of the box. Epic driving as always Rich!! That poor XRT lol. $100 in parts and it's ready to go. Imagine what it would have been like without the M2C bash bar??? You'd need a bucket to pick up the parts. Love my Arrma rigs, when they let go it's usually cos' I was being silly. The XRT and X-Maxx are some of my favs but the M2C bash bars are a must have.

They're really designed to keep the bulkheads from wanting to pull apart vs taking direct impacts, but they've been a game changer with the high center XMaxx 😱

Sorry to see Shelby's rig busted like that, but that boulder would have been major damage to anything that landed on top of it like that. ( Maybe not broken in two, but surely damaged!! ) At least plastic parts are cost effective to replace when you need to. Your videos are alway fun to watch Rich!

Thanks so very much for the kind words Chad 😁. We definitely have a fun group of guys in our bash circle with ever increasing skills. Shelby was definitely bummed he imploded his XRT 😮. That hit likely would've left a mark on any rig. The plastic chassis's don't stand a chance once they flex past the breakage point. That hit would've likely bent the EXB chassis, but not destroyed it. M2C chassis would've just bounced off it. I know because I've done the same thing before. We've really got to move some of those boulders 😂
