Big Girl is still Top Dog among 8s bashers. Here's a side by side comparison between my two favorite large scale tires. Both have their advantages and can handle big power and high speeds. Huge thanks to my bash brothers and M2C Racing for the best upgrade parts on the planet. Thanks also to Fast Track Hobbies in Rocklin, California.

Awesome rip Brother Rich with the Queen of Big Girls!!💪She's fast no doubt and hooks killer with both sets of tires! The Mx57's hum so nice on pavement and did great at the lake! Love the skimming across the water! Sucks on that rock that showed up just in time!😆 Happens when you're bashing fast! I know how that is for sure! Sweet bash with the guys and killer air! Makes me want to get my EXB 8s back out! The 8s Kraton is definitely still the King! BASH ON Bro!😎🤘🚀🚀

Stoked we could hit the new ramp again and elated the water level is finally dropping out at Folsom. Truly is the best place I can imagine for full throttle pulls 😍. The Prolines sound wicked on the pavement and wet sand 😱. Weather was gorgeous and grateful to get out despite another boulder mishap 😂. Truly appreciate it Bro. 🍻🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

EPIC Solo and group session my friend. You got the Big girl wide open at the lake. Bummer on the knuckle snaps but that was hard tagged on the rock. Super satisfying watching Big girl soar thru the air and the sound of the flat landings. Both tires are very comparable but the fresh backflip tires are an instant favorite for overall situations. Another awesome session brother. I enjoyed it very much.

Awesome Rip Rich watched it twice now. Well listened to it once and watched it the second time I’m not too sure about the new MX57 I really hope they hold up better than the original. I like the new backflips but they definitely have their place like you said, they do get a little sketchy on top end but you make it look super easy love it definitely had big girl out there getting it that pass through the water was pretty awesome too. That’s one of my favorite spots you Bash at what did you end up hitting out there was that a rock or a piece of driftwood either way it look like a pretty sudden stop killer rip as always, my friend.

Been waiting for months (since December) for the water level to drop out at Folsom Lake 😱🚀🚀. The sound of the tires was just nasty 😂. Angry cocaine elephant 🤣🤣. I tagged 3 boulders with that hit, a makeshift fire pit. Was trying to drift left, but the tires hooked up and shot the truck right at it. Not the first time I've hit stuff and won't be the last. The scenery and fun factor was well worth it 😍🤙🤙😎💪👊👊

Another killer vid Rich, just have a question the last 2 runs I stripped the gears in my rear diff on the outcast 8s. I have it geared with the included 30t pinion and done earplugs in the center diff. The thing is I can't find anything about shimming the 8s diffs. Do you think the gearing / earplugs is just to much or am I just having bad luck...

@richduperbash2966 11 ай бұрын

Thanks so much Thomas 😊. You might just be having bad luck. If it's the ring gear, there should be a single bearing shim from the factory on the gear side. The internal diff gears usually won't strip unless the diff cup is damaged, screws come loose, or possibly the outdrive gets really jammed up 🤔. I haven't had any issues geared up or running Silicone ear plugs center.

You're not necessarily doing anything wrong. Driveshafts and pins can snap if you're landing on throttle or dumping the throttle hard over abrupt faces with heavier wheels and big power. They can also snap from bad wrecks. I've done it myself several times through the years.

If I remember correctly, you ran the 980kv hobbystar like I have and dropped down to the 840kv for longer run time and less heat ??? I have the 980kv in my o8s exb since getting it and still debating what I put back in my k8s since it's bin sitting since I got my o8s exb. Lol

@richduperbash2966 11 ай бұрын

I started with the 840kv in my K8s years back with 34/34 before experimenting with the 980, but in hindsight was experiencing cogging I thought was from over gearing before discovering a failing connector/solder job. Both are fantastic options with the right gearing. The 980 is perfect for the Outcast and fast as heck in the Kraton with killer top end.

@@richduperbash2966 ok I thought I remembered you haven the 980kv at some point. I have the 980kv geared 30p/39s in my o8s exb and it's perfect for it. The k8s it ran little hot with same gearing, but with a xmaxx heat sink and fan it was OK. On the o8s I don't have the need for the heat sink or fan so I'm thinking I'll keep it there and possibly try another kv motor for the k8s. I still have the xlx2 1100kv combo i got as a replacement for the same system that burnt up in my k8s when it first came out. Lol to afaid to run it an loss my whole truck possibly. Lol so gonna stick with something not castle. Have considered the new max5 g2 800kv 12s system since my k8s is loaded with upgrades that's got it a heavy metal machine. Not really looking to run 12s, but be cool to have the ability if I want to for open field runs when i travel with it to the park's to bash with friends. Have you tryed any of the g2 stuff yet ??

Absolutely no heat issues with this setup. My best guess (assuming your bearings are all good) is the stock EXB tires are ballooning and putting some added strain on the electronics. Could also be a weak connection/bad solder job.
