[@Xalies]

The factory mounting holes for MAX8 and warning is such a nice touch from ARRMA

I agree. That's the kind of stuff that they really don't have to do but it shows that they're paying attention to what their customers are doing.

[@ellc.6143]

Man, I want one!!!! Can't wait till I get my hands on one. I love the whole ARRMA 6S line! Mostly, it's all interchangeable. So many different combinations you can play with in the whole 6s line it's a beautiful thing.

[@DoRC]

The interchangeability is awesome

[@manski209]

Awesome rebuild Mr. Do. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with the community. You and AJ from AJJAM studio are the best in fixing, reviewing and rebuilding rc vehicles.

[@DoRC]

I definitely enjoy the technical side of things!

[@manski209]

@ Me too. I own 9 arrmas and not one is stock, I also really enjoy building fpv drones and a few electric skateboards under my belt. Fpv drones is a little more challenging due to the electronics software involved but so much fun. Electric skateboards are belt driven with dual 6374 outrunner motors, a 10S4P battery and also the electronics software involved. I really enjoy your channel so, just keep bringing the content and we'll keep watching. You need to put some affiliates on your channel and make some money cause i know making content is not easy, it takes a punch just to make one video. you're videos are awesome, straight up and into the depth right away, that's why we watch.

[@Eddybee6490]

A quick recommendation, when using loktite on a screw that goes into a closed hole (like on the centre diff), the loktite should go in the hole and not on the screw. If its on the screw, the air pressure would push the loktite up and off the threads, decreasing thread coverage.

[@DoRC]

Great tip!

Loved watching that come together. Always learn something from your videos and your explanation of how the LSD works in these was great as i never really knew the difference.

[@ElectricianAl]

Awesome!! Just got my 4S Outcast, I love it. Still need to adjust punch settings, diff fluid and just get used to it. I want to do jumps but I am a little nervous, gonna just start small and try to learn air control. Thanks for the great videos!…

[@DoRC]

That's the way to do it. A lot of people immediately go for the biggest air they can and that's a mistake. It's fun but it's going to end up with something getting broken. Fine just a little jump or put a piece of plywood on a concrete block and jump that over and over until you can land on your wheels every single time. Then start working your way up. Getting the fundamentals down will really help you when you start doing big air

[@kurtsrcTV]

Unreal build mate beast mode !... I would love to see more raw footage on your bashing, little talk through and reactions from yourself when it comes to your upgrades, unboxing and reviews etc... I feel it would top your content off perfectly 🤞👍

Yeah I've had quite a few people recommend that. I actually took it out of my videos a while back because my retention showed people weren't really interested in it but maybe I'll try adding a little bit of it back in.

[@kurtsrcTV]

@DoRC yeah that would be great if you did mate 👌 I get that you've focused more on giving people good advise and ideas on builds etc which is ideal for the audience and newbies.

That limited slip center diff design with the “clutch” is super cool. Has this ever been done in RC before?

[@DoRC]

I'm not sure. It was first introduced in the original EXB 6s roller. I'd have to imagine some other company has made a similar design in the past in the RC hobby but I'm not aware of it.

[@rustlerboi1052]

@ Also I said it before I think, but I really like the ratio of technical, parts analysis, & post-mortem to driving this channel has. so many other channels ignore technical substance. My favorite part about RC ends up being about the build itself, how the designers thought about architecting the parts, and looking at what parts fail and wear under specific loads.

[@DoRC]

@rustlerboi1052 It's my favorite part too!

[@n00b247]

Everything from the V6 can go on the V5. The only things that would really require additional parts are the body and body mounts. You would also need to swap over the shock towers as the mounting holes are different and you would need the rear wing and rear wing mount too.

[@DoRC]

Yeah I think a lot of people overestimate how much extra weight upgrades add. Obviously if you're replacing a ton of plastic with a ton of aluminum it's going to add up but It's always important to remember that the weight you're adding is the weight of the new thing minus the weight of the old thing and often that's not really a big difference

Well to pre-punch the holes you do but you don't actually need to do that You can just punch the holes as you go. They don't really need to be in the exact right spot as long as they're within the ballpark you can figure out which ones go where.

This is proof that upgrading isn’t necessarily a “flashy vs functional” situation…..especially if you’re not going to use it as an extremely hardcore basher….man that thing looks as impressive from an aesthetic point of view as it does in real time…..expensive no doubt….

[@DoRC]

Yeah I think worth it is definitely a subjective term. Would I recommend anybody do this kind of thing for just general bashing? No. The car is great out of the box and with a few choice upgrades is even better. That being said these sorts of projects are kind of like building a show car. It's not necessarily practical to do it but it sure is a lot of fun and this thing is an absolute tank now.

The new Ryobi 4V driver is awesome. It has swappable batteries and you can charge it UsB or get a 3 slot charger. It’s on sale now for $29 and so far it’s been perfect. Only thing I wish it had is a variable trigger. The trigger is just on or off but its top speed isn’t crazy so it’s been perfect for RC wrenching. That and some MIP bits and your set!

[@DoRC]

I'll take a look but for me variable triggers a must

[@SVCprints]

@@DoRC that was me too, honestly didn’t realize this wasn’t till I got it home. But the swappable batteries make it worth it for me. The top speed is just fast enough where it works. But I do wish it was variable. Just got done doing several of these upgrades to this truck myself. So far loving it! Got the treal bulk heads, M2C brace you showed, EXB front and rear braces, savox servo, same fans you used. And the aluminum center diff housing and support. Been a beast so far!

I have done an upgrade video on the forest outcast so it wasn't quite as extreme as this. Honestly there aren't really that many upgrade parts available for the 3/4s line. Since everything's kind of integrated and plastic it's a lot harder for manufacturers to make upgrades like they can on these platforms

Another Great Video! I have been using the Bosch PS21 for quite a while now for my driver in my house and RC. But i recently purchased the new bosch GO 3. it's the new usb-c version. bought it for $60 on Ali-ex since it is not available in the States yet for some reason. I love it for RC's though. Has button and pressure switch, and plenty of power.

7:14 it actually is more functional. I have striped the threads on the stock plastic part , now the screws always back out and my esc won‘t hold on properly. I bet this won‘t hapen with those metall threads and if they back out than you can use loctite. Nice video as always!

[@DoRC]

Well yeah if the stock part is broken and upgrade would definitely be more functional :-)

[@dylanwhite6539]

I’d highly recommend you check out hobbystar servos. They have a variety of budget options, but imo the best are the 4724 and 4717. If I’m not mistaken the board is the floating type and the lower gasket is a pain to reinstall so if you’re going to water test it, do that before disassembly. They’re very torquey and fast on 8.4v, and I also found them to be cool running, at least in the erevo which also has the best thermal design for servos.

[@RUZTY1311]

Do they make gear rebuild kits?

[@DoRC]

I'll take a look

[@nashanya4262]

I will say, for drivers, I use a Hyper Tough 1/4 inch compact impact for my projects. They make a brushed model for $35 ish dollars but I got the brushless version for a little more. Along with a 4 amp hour 12v battery. However I don't recommend it for 1/10 and smaller cars. It's super easy to strip things out and I've also snapped stub axles off tightening wheels way too tight. However, for larger 1/8+ projects. And it's speedy too, way faster than an electric screwdriver. You just gotta be careful lol If impacts aren't your style, Hyper Tough does make electric screwdrivers as well. By the way, hyper tough is a Walmart brand. So they're pretty easy to get ahold of. LOL

[@DoRC]

Yeah that's one of the things I really like about these drivers. With the modification I showed in a previous video you can use them all the way down to Grom screws.

[@nashanya4262]

​@@DoRC yeah the impact I use would absolutely destroy those poor grom screws. So I use hand tools for those. So while that impact is fast and efficient, it's limited use. 😅

This is my go to basher, the only thing I've done before its first run was program my settings and swap the wheels to the JConcepts Magmas and i shorten the suspension travel to keep the dog bones in. It might not have been necessary but I did it just for piece of mind. I've put about a dozen packs through it with zero breakages, but it does run hot with the Magma wheels and cuts off every now and then.

You have a ton of comments so hopefully this wont get lost, but it's very important to clean each new screw and even old screws with rubbing alcohol or brake cleaner before applying loctite and screwing into metal or they will back out quickly :) Maybe you've covered this before but you didn't mention it in this video

It's kind of similar to Kraton but the much shorter wheelbase means it's a lot harder to keep the front tires on the ground. This can be good or bad depending on what you're looking for. It's harder to control but it's also more playful

[@jagergerg9771]

@ It deff looks wild, like a Kagama 6S. I think I may go with some time tamer like the New Kraton. My Kagama is a hand full.

You may have mentioned it but I may have missed it. What chassis is that you are using?

[@DoRC]

M2c

[@Paul0088]

Yea that shock nut was missing you can see it when you checked the weight, also the screw in the esc wire holder is missing also, good job though looks pretty good.

[@DoRC]

Yeah I noticed that when I was editing. I was pretty sure that was the case since I've literally never lost one of those in the past.

[@dylanwhite6539]

Did you try the Amazon basics driver yet? I also use a hypertough 12v brushless drill for longer screws

[@DoRC]

I haven't actually tried much of anything in the last few years. I got a bunch of different drivers before that but the no cry ones have been so good that I just bought more of those when I needed them.

[@dylanwhite6539]

@@DoRCthe big thing I like about the Amazon basics driver is the shape. It’s basically a screwdriver handle, so you a sung up a screw and finish the last bit by hand. Before it I had the dewalt gyro drive and it was a PITA. The difference between torque level 1 and 5 were almost indistinguishable. It was always a game of twisting the clutch up real high to break screws loose and then taking it low to reinstall. Wouldn’t recommend.

[@JacobScherer]

Regarding electric drivers: I love the DeWalt gyro drivers. They are expensive but I think it is worth it. I tried 3 different cheap drivers from Amazon and struggled to get one with good clutch settings. The KZbin channel Project Farm has done reviews of electric drivers that might be a good source to find a new one to try.

[@DoRC]

Yeah the gyro thing is kind of a personal preference. I really don't like them but I can see the appeal

[@TRAIL_MIX_BILLY]

what gets bent when you crash and do cartwheels till it stops.? the rim axle hole, the cv axle or the hex hub

[@DoRC]

Are you talking about a specific incident? Nothing broke or got bent in the video.

[@TRAIL_MIX_BILLY]

@@DoRC all mine do it. just want to fix it without replacing everything. id like to prevent it.

[@DoRC]

Oh I don't really typically have any of those fail. It's usually the arm that breaks for me when something breaks.

[@TRAIL_MIX_BILLY]

@@DoRC not saying anything is broken. watch your front and rear wheels and travel in a straight line. You might see it.

[@TRAIL_MIX_BILLY]

@@DoRC would be a nice topic to cover. it happens

[@WowoodogPlays]

You should have got the new paint job one. But this one looks cool too

[@DoRC]

I thought about it but between the two I just preferred the black.

[@WowoodogPlays]

@ all good. You want something that you are proud of purchasing

[@MostlyRCSlovakia]

I use and love the Bosch IXO VI. It has analog trigger, meaning the more you push it, the more RPMs it gives. Unfortunately there is already newer version, that does not have this feature. Only the v6 has it...

[@DoRC]

Yeah for me having a variable speed trigger is mandatory

[@n00b247]

Merry Christmas!!!!111

[@DoRC]

Thanks same to you :-)

[@SurferRC]

How did you get the esc to secure to the new plate? Is that a cage or cradle that locks it in?

[@DoRC]

It just uses the two stock mounting ears.

[@darksidegarage910]

I hope good things for this Channel this coming year. When is the Rc Meet happening this year?

[@DoRC]

I'm hoping to make it Armageddon If they do it again this year
