For Razor RC, it's just another bash. For that kid, he's going to remember this day for the rest of his life lol.
After watching the Sledge and the MT8 videos back-to-back, I gotta say the MT8 seems like MUCH more fun!
As always great driving skill. Thanks for sharing
Sick bash sesh!🤘🏻Really enjoyed the vid
Decent Basher! Worth Adding to the Collection! 👍👍🏆
Some big hits there and it kept going. I will say, had me worried for a bit at the start, but it redeemed itself in the end. Hoping to get my hands on one of these soon (whenever they land here) and I'm super excited to get another Rival. Held onto my old Rival for years and even had a second (spare) one at one point, so very much looking forward to this new version. Cool video and really like that second area you went to in the end, I think you can line it up better there and get just as much air. Plus, it reminds me of my bash spot. 😁

Thanks Vas, looking forward to seeing what you think of the truck. I remember watching your Rival videos back in the day, thanks for checking out my Rival video TO-day. Full circle. All the best!
LOL I like how the kid just showed up and started staring at it like it was some alien technology

I ain't going to lie, that was high and its not even Friday LOL.I think I like that truck. I've have a few Team Associated trucks over the years and only one was a huge turd, that was a rival 6s too. Very nice bash video 👍💯
Great vid, took some abuse at the second location 😲. No doubt RPM will bring out arms for this like they have done for the Rival MT10
Impressive! 🤩
Wow it flies!
, hi Razor, would like your opinion, I have a kaiju and kaiju ext, I use them as daily drivers I don’t mind beating on, there plenty fast and other then sway bars, don’t need much. I had some breakages but not bad. Is the mt8’ Truggy platform make a significant noticible difference in performance to be noticeable? There not much more then 1/10 scale rigs and I don’t mind adding another similar one if it’s going to give me more performance somewhere? By the way, I made them all 50% breaks, they just can’t stop on 25% Thanks for great content
I have learned that an old trick with the a-arms, is to boil them a bit to soften the fibers, i have never tried it, but it should work, and it is certainly more healthy than wd40 ;)
Great bash session with some huge sends. Seems like the suspension mods worked out well and the tekno parts you’ve used are much more durable. I’m really intrigued by the very light diff oil choices - so much lighter than what comes stock and very different to a similarly weighted 6s arrma.

Great choice, going with much lighter diff fluids. These crazy thick diff fluids (20 million in the Sledge?!) do nothing for handling. I'll sacrifice acceleration for handling any day but like you, Razor, I'm also a racer 👍
Remember when you were a kid and you had that moment you were bitten by the "RC Hobby Bug", I think the hobby just recruited a new Fan! Lol Great video.

How would you compare this power level to the Punisher on 6s? I’ve been thinking about getting the MT8 cause I love my MT10! I mostly run my Punisher on 4s cause it’s psychotic on 6s.
Good vid
Great video I am currently looking around at do 6s speed bashers and wondering what I should get Have any recommendations

I have about 550$ total put into my Shredder at this point, and would do it again because after the obligatory upgrades (diff, spur, tires, ESC) this thing is such a blast to drive. its not even really comparable to anything, just a unique feeling ride. And super easy to work on.
Seen someone fit the Kaju arms which seem to have way more flex in them, looks like Associated have made their arms a little stiff same as with the MT10, more like they are for their race cars. The flexier arms should help with the bouncing as well I would think
Really love this thing, but I broke my shock cap, lower and upper a arm and snapped a turnbuckle in half on a clean landing, on off switch kept turning off with nearly every landing as well. Maybe got 5 minutes of run time in and now I'm waiting for parts. Still a fun truck though, kinda wish I'd gotten the mt10 now.

MT10 is a tank. Mine has taken so much abuse it's crazy. I was really hoping the MT8 would be as tough but nope 🤔
I'm thinking about buying one of those new kajuis just to have spare parts for my MT8
I hate that on off switch that was my first complaint. I do love this truck. I wish rpm would make some a arms for it. It’s definitely in my top 3 rcs. And yeah I think it would need a fan on 6S especially if you’re gonna run it hard my temps were a little higher than what I like to see. But it’s an awesome truck again. Nice video bro

I feel the hobby has gotten to the point where RPM’s arm construction doesn’t really work everywhere like it used to, the speed and power modern 1/8’s have just cause them to flex and twist around. Even if they don’t break they’ll still likely either bend or eject a dogbone on a hard landing.

@@vivos71 yeah but I don’t think this Rc is your typical 1/8scale Rc. It’s more like a 1/10. And it’s pretty light. I believe 12 pounds. But I do agree with you when it comes to the bigger rcs

I need advice. The last time I was in this hobby I had a fairly modded Losi stadium truck on nitro. The big gassers where just starting to come out(2004). If I’m to make this mistake again which cell count would be a step up from a very fast 2wd nitro truck? I have a feeling a 3s brushless Rustler will blow me away.

Great video. Uno I think it’s easy to say some RC parts weak when they are new. The testing needs to be thorough enough to really put it through its paces. I seen another video well lots and this one breaks really easily. The arms anyway. You sent it to the moon and it held up wow kinda surprised after all the arm breakages I seen.
