So far these M2C Racing 01 tool steel shock shafts are a Huge improvement 💪 for more extreme bashing. The suspension blocks are solid 7075 T6 and should greatly reduce ovaling at the hinge pins over time helping avoid excess slop at the arms. Mitch is still in the development phase and may make adjustments prior to production. Bash hard and be safe out there 🤗

Someone mentioned it's been improved since then .Man I tried to love it but I broke it so much, especially the chassis, shock shafts, braces. A few arms, Thank God for the rc chop shops. I debated ordering the part to make it more durable but couldn't bring my self to spending another $300-400 I think I will just watch your videos instead lol.

Sorry you didn't have good luck with yours brother 😝. Mine was original batch as well. Adding carbon fiber tubing to the original top brace was a game changer for me. Did a WAY better job protecting the stock chassis and brace. I've been running original arms since early November, but hadn't ran mine below 50F ambient temps. Tekno makes a decent chassis, but I had to replace mine (MT41O) twice before going to the M2C Widebody option. The inlays all bent upwards and noodled it up 😝. Actually cracked under the Lipo tray and damaged a pack. Probably from a rock landing. My eb48.4 only gets track time. That's what the Teknos are truly designed for anyways. 😎💪👊👊

Thanks Corey 🤗!!!! I actually shredded one of them in the first minute 😝. Probably caught a sharp piece of gravel or something. I love the XMaxx tires, just wish they had better foams and a slightly thicker tire carcass. I haven't tried strapping or taping any yet. 34/34 with 800 is wicked. I actually just grabbed a 840kv Hobbystar.🍻😎💪👊👊

Hey. Nice video as always. 🙂 What shocks should i buy to my armma granite 3s? Do you have a link where I can buy some good shocks? BTW I use big bore from ebay now. It feels good on the ground but I am afraid they are not good to bash with. I have a lot of shocks oil. Can that make big different to change oil? But I want to buy new shocks if there are better options. Sry my english:)

Changing the oil weights and/or springs can completely change a particular shock. If yours don't leak or bend easily, I'd recommend tuning them to your liking. Experiment with different weights. The only other shocks I've ran are Tekno eb48.4 buggy shocks and V2 Typhon 6s with lighter springs. Made sure to do a search on the ARRMA 3&4s Facebook Forum for different options too. 🚀🚀😎💪👊👊

@@richduperbash2966 Thanks for that! I'm looking hard at a Notorious, which looks like they sell a lot of parts to. Looks like the latest version of the Notorious has a some of the upgrades that yourself and others have been doing, which is cool that Arrma is watching and listening. And the M2C racing stuff is very nice, I teach pre-engineering to high schoolers, so whenever I see relatable examples of some of the skills I'm teaching them, it's always a good thing and easy to show them! Helps with the motivation, that's for sure.

Thanks Gav 🤗!!! Your diff fluids sound fine 👍. I'm assuming you're talking about stripping or chipping teeth on the rear input and/or crown gear 🤔. It's possible your rear diff case could be cracked or defective allowing the gears to shift under torque. You might have to pull it off the chassis to make sure the bottom part is still solid. I'd recommend adding 2 Tekno TKR 1222 bearing shims to the crown gear side bearing. Also, if running really big heavy wheels, consider going lighter. Make sure you're not landing on throttle off jumps either. 🍻😎💪👊👊

What's the specs on your ramp? Height, width, length and weight approximately... I made smaller ramp for my 1/14th cars & fits in trunk of sedan, about 24''w/22''h/28l...maybe 15-20lbs. I assume it'll be too small once my 1/8th arrives. Keep bashing man!

This ramp is 40" wide, 30" tall, and about 60" long. Not sure on the weight. I try to go atleast 36" wide with all my ramps. Any narrower is tricky to hit with a 1/8. Yours might work. The materials and construction become a factor with heavier rigs though. Too thin and you might punch holes in the surface at speed. 😎💪👊👊

I often aim for myself when doing bigger gap jumps and move as necessary as the truck approaches. Sounds weird, but helps line the truck up for the landing. The speed, approach, and wind play a factor. If the ramp shifts, this big girl can go a bit off course 👍👍😎💪👊👊

This subject comes up a lot. Most RC's can only take so much before reaching their breaking point. That's where the upgrades come into play if you want to bash really hard regularly. That's a personal thing and differs for everyone and individual driving styles. All rigs can break and Traxxas is certainly no exception. 😎💪👊👊
