You killing it Jay! Blessings!

[@JayTeeRC]

tks

[@bbeckers24]

I think associated is killing it with the Rival product and especially with the value. For just $50 more than the Sledge, you can get both the MT8 and the MT10.

[@isaiahprice4050]

The mt8 is like a larger 10th scale and the mt10 is more like a 12th scale. I still wouldnt buy the sledge at its high price

[@MikeS-cv8xs]

Agreed. Way overpriced.

[@Andy_Yates]

Wow standing and rolling backflips on demand. This thing is quick on 4s and a beast on 6s

[@travis-tg5cq]

yeah 48 on 4s is nuts

[@gillian9178]

I was looking foward to getting the MT8, having seen a few videos of it running now. I wont be bothering with getting one anymore, simply not what I am looking for in a truck with its short wheelbase.

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

Did you see size comparison with the Maxx? Beast Mode RC did a short and it's the same size as the Maxx. So in reality it's better suited to 4s than 6s. Not what I was expecting either but as a 4s basher competing with the Maxx V2 and Sketer it would probably hold up very well.

[@longboardguy]

I feel the same I wanted a longer wheel base truck. I thought it wa going to be one but it’s more like a outcast which I have already. So I think I also hold off on this one this time

[@greatwhitenorthrc509]

Yeah I really was hoping for a full size 1/8 scale truck my self , not a fan of the short wheel base trucks .

[@uan588]

Can l say get Sledge instead.

[@gillian9178]

@@uan588 Not at the price they are asking for on the Sledge, simply not worth that sort of money.

[@mact153]

Good to see you can now get rpm arms for this now

[@captaincouldverc]

The tires on that rig are holding it back. I bet some backflip LP's would do good on that rig.

[@Ken_412]

Also Badlands..

[@captaincouldverc]

@@Ken_412 If that's what you prefer. I personally like the backflips better, but the badlands are good tires for sure.

[@JPistols]

I’ve been waiting for super speed Saturday as well. 😔 thanks for bringing this to us. Love the vids

[@RcInDaHiz]

Thanks JayTee. Unbiased and true as usual. I was hoping for a MT10 performance on steriods and this seems more like a Redcat Kaiju original, reincarnated. Unfortunately in the wait for this, the Traxxas sledge dropped and caught my attention. Because of fine vids like yours and others that keep it real, I think I will spring for the Traxxas to compete with my Kraton as this won't hang(I refuse all that power and no stability-backflips!). Not totally knocking is as Associated is very high in my book and My MT10 is still in my top 5. Hope they try again- maybe pull a Sledge and dup' the Kraton!!! JS! - RG

[@owenoleary8725]

Man does that sound smooth.

[@nunyadambidness1444]

THX for them info bud and btw one of the best parts of this video is when your start laffing at yourself or just laffing at something 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and oh yeah nice truck but I wouldn't trade my nicely 💪🏼💪🏼 set up kaiju for any other truck out there right now ✌🏼✌🏼

[@iandaly536]

Had a mt4 g3 thunder tiger very similar 5s was the sweet spot

[@filipinomixer]

Nice! Fast on 4S 🏎️🏁

[@idjc2621]

It’s Basically doing Standing Backflips 👍🏾

[@2040RC]

Nice video and test mate good job! 😉 I''m curious about this model. Hope it's resistant for jumps, but it seems very funny car.

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

Got mine today. Thanks again for the heads up on that Tiny Adventures RC sale. 👊🏼 Man, imo, this is a 4s truck. Ha. Haven’t gotten to run it yet, but the soft tires and stout springs make me think 63 will be a bit much for me while it’s stock! Thx for the awesome vids as always

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

Took it for a spin! 4s in the back yard at night. The headlights are actually really good. What a fun little truck! FYI: both top and bottom screws on the C’s were loose. Had to remove wheels etc and tighten.

[@freddie514]

Was going to buy the Kaiju, but to what I'm seeing is that this is fundamentally similar to a Kaiju, just laid out better. Would love to see this on 5S! Feel like that might be the perfect match of power, and stability.

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

Very fast on 4s. Also with it being smaller than an Arrma 6s it is probably better suited to 4s anyway. 48mph is more than fast enough for bashing. IMP this competes with The Sketer and Maxx V2 not an Arrma Notorious or Traxxas Sledge, it''s too small. Funny that the MT10 is smaller than most of the other 3s RCs like the Granite and Big Rock. Maybe TAs scale ruler is different to the other brands 😋😋

[@whoopdattrick23]

The MT10 was small like a Stampede but this is the MT8, though

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

@Matthew Hayslett My MT10 handles great for a Monster Truck but my Arrma Typhon 6s (on 4s) is a beast that handles great and is tough as nails, with steel diffs 😀 I had tons of issues with my Arrma 3s cars but not my 6s Typhon.

[@isaiahprice4050]

Team associated is like a “budget” rc brand. Also owned by horizon hobby doesn’t make sense, they should have made it a proper 6s rc car with kraton size.

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

@@isaiahprice4050 I don't think they (Team Associated) are owned by Horizon. They don't use Spectrum electronics and they put center diffs in their 3s rigs 😄😄😄

[@wallacengineering8096]

Ya honestly on 3S this thing would be great for a kid. I don't think most parents wanna spend that kind of money though. I still think the best option for a starter for kids is the Arrma 1/10th 3S Lineup. Much less expensive and even a hair faster than this truck on 4S. And of course you can simply limit the throttle or put in a 2S or even a NiMh if you want. This truck would be a good option though if you wanna go straight into 1/8 scale. Seems like a really good value and plenty tough.

[@ianmangham4570]

My new favourite, it's only £270-£299 over here 🇬🇧🤠 with a juicy 4s 5000mah 50c lipo and charger/discharger ,absolute BARGAIN

[@robertredzich7292]

Not built for it's power at the moment.👍

[@fishnrc294]

Nice run. Good looking truck & fast as hell. Now I’m checkout the prices.

[@Diaszurana]

I haven't ran mine yet, but it looks lime ot runs best on 4s

[@youtubeuser5424]

Typical AE man, that thing sounds like it runs really smooth.

[@rcjoe406]

That's like a wild animal let out of a cage and he's pissed hahaha awesome 👌 👏 👍

Been waiting all day for this 😎

Hopefully you like the video

[@danieljackson8341]

@@JayTeeRC I did Iv had one of theses on pre order since December was so excited when you posted the video of them out I'm America this morning only a few weeks left to wait ☺️😎

[@danvanbelk1]

Most people seem to be getting 30 plus on 2s and 45 mph on 3s. But they say the motor runs hot, I didn’t realise it could be run on 4s etc

[@FeralRC]

So awesome. I got one in my cart on Horizon Hobby site. No sway bars though? I see what looks like a spot for them to be mounted.

[@JayTeeRC]

yea none

[@FeralRC]

@Matthew Hayslett Redcat RER13336 sway bar kit is rumored to fit the MT8. I just got my MT8 but haven't run it yet to see if I feel the need to order the sway bars.

[@never-stock-rc2968]

Those look just like my proline masher xp's....

A Kaiju in disguise lol!

Nice little truck. I may pick this up for my next truck. I burned down my senton today 🔥. The battery blew and ecu and I couldn't catch it in time.

[@JayTeeRC]

what happened?

[@steedreynolds7167]

Nice overview, keep up the good work!

[@JayTeeRC]

tks

[@bra1nc417d]

All ya need is a bigger pinion. Go up maybe, 3 teeth, and you will easily get to 60.

When you say, just one more time, is when you should stop. LOL

never do 😆

@JayTeeRC What’s good bro? Hope all is well. Great video as always. Quick question… Do you record your videos with a phone or camera attached to your Transmitter????

[@MrtipRC]

1 million diff fluid for the center

[@gregorymoreland2140]

This is a real sleeper!

[@toddleavitt3366]

I am surprised anyone would get such a big truck (or expensive this one run $500) for a kid. The MT10 is much more kid friendly and easier to afford($300 ish) but I love the Team Associated trucks.

[@AirLandSeaRC]

Yo what up JayTee! Love the channel keep up the good work pls..how come ur new stock MT8 run 48mph on 4s mine only 32mph on 6200 120c could it be the limiting difference in T-Dean Connector vs IC5

[@burn1gotbeats]

👀 lookin good to me👍

[@omicron296]

Você ainda brinca de carrinho? Hehehe ...

[@restinpiecesrc5528]

Jaytee id definitely choose something like the talion exb tires or the methodrc belted tires

[@suthius85]

Seems like out of box, the orange and blue leads are mix-matched on this vehicle. Should they be matching up?

[@gonzodetroitify]

Yes Jaytee 😎

[@drunkinmaster1]

Those tires are just way too soft for SSS. You need some belted road crushers on that bad boy

[@JayTeeRC]

Got to run in stock out the box. You guys have to see how it runs take out the box before doing modifications

[@travis-tg5cq]

won’t thicker center diff oil make it wheelie more ?

[@stevewest7260]

Anything first run, needs a temp. check.

[@konfyoused]

I would swap out to something belted on the tires, and add a bit of weight to the front end, to help keep it down.

[@JayTeeRC]

I will in the future but have to run a stock out the box first

[@rcjoe406]

110 mph on 4s now that would be a interesting rtr lol

[@JayTeeRC]

😆

[@kevinrogers8352]

I have his truck coming soon and I wanted know what would be the best tires to replace the stock ones? Also would it be better to get a heat sink and dual fan set up.

[@JayTeeRC]

Either put a heatsink on the motor or use the fan that comes on the Redcat EXT. As far as tires are concerned are you talkin on road or off?

[@kevinrogers8352]

@@JayTeeRC I wanted some off road tires for some good bashing. Love your videos Jay Tee they are very informative. Keep up the good work.

[@JayTeeRC]

@@kevinrogers8352 I'm going to try with a couple different tires I got tomorrow and try to post a video. The kraton tires are pretty good on it in general but you can never go wrong with like some Badlands from Pro-Line

[@kevinrogers8352]

@@JayTeeRC thank you. I will be looking forward to your next video to see what tires you decided to get.

Can it run on 2- 3s from the box

why dont they put the battery at the front to keep the wheels down

🤓🤓🤓

[@pedroperezjr7956]

Would it be safe to run this on 2s 50c lipo battery for my kid?

[@JayTeeRC]

I would try 3s. 2s may be too little power and over strain the Lipo. I think you can try 2s but what the Lipo temps and how he drives

[@main_manny3226]

So is this a redcat kaiju clone or is the redcat kaiju a clone of the mt8 I know the kaiju came out before this

[@JayTeeRC]

see unboxing...

Diff out a little?

[@owenoleary8725]

We need Talbot to get a hold of this thing so we can see a durability test done on it. To his credit he does always give us that.

Iam told these mt8s are just a clone of the redcat kaiju when i look at the chassie there is not much difference

Massively over geared. Pretty disappointed. It should be geared for 55-59 on 6s not 72mph :/
