Merry Christmas ... Awesome video as always. Just FYI you can save some money going to a Plumbing store to but some 2" , 3" or even 4" reinforced foil tape instead of buying the kit. You'll get a roll of at least 50 meters for quite reasonable money and do a heap of bodies .. But I'm with you, here in Sydney Australia I use plasterboard ( sheetrock as you guys call it) mesh joint tape and as shoe glue is hard to get here we use clear liquid nails and it works beautifully . I always hot glue the mesh tape on here and there to hold it in position before the liquid nails goes on..

I use heatshrink tubing to hold the bearing to the center drive shaft in place. Kind of a pain to remove the heatshrink and bearing after the fact. But it's better than the bearing consistently moving off its support.

7 ай бұрын

Not a bad idea. I mostly just ignore it but your solution sounds better :-)

I can tell you from experience that I've already bought 2 spur gears for that center diff. I performed a transplant into my 4S Kraton V2. And twice the spur has broken into a bunch of pieces. The metal used is not good. I can almost guarantee you the aftermarket will be selling upgraded steel spur gears for the new center diff setup. And yes the mesh was right. Etc. Etc. Also the way the gear is held onto the diff assembly is also a poor design. The screws that hold it on are only barely doing so. There's nothing actually bolting the gear to the diff. It just slides on and gets semi clamped in place by small bolts. But that's not actually fastening the gear to the diff. I believe this is causing a lack of structural support for the gear. As it is essentially floating. Not fixed.

Ear plugs are a bit thicker than the 20 million Traxxas silicone. If you want the best stunt performance definitely go with the silicone ear plugs.

Yes I've got some videos on the new Mojave. Definitely a fun car. I upped the center differential fluid before I drove it just because I felt how loose it was out of the box and knew that I was going to want to stiffen it up a little bit so I figured I might as well go ahead and do it now. For me a stunt truck is all about wheels up craziness and so I like to enhance that as much as possible. One of the main reasons why I liked the center differential less previous version was because of how easily it wheel lead. The center differential tuning is definitely a personal thing though and 20 millions certainly not going to be for everybody.

I put it up against the maxx before and one thing that the outcast lacked was the center diff. I am sure now having a center diff its a better choice than the maxx.

Not sure I understand your claim that the center diff absorbs shock loads and protects the drivetrain. Isn’t that one of the pros of a slipper clutch? I mean, I guess it does if you land on front or back wheels to some degree, but land on all 4 and it’s actually worse than a slipper, in my understanding.

@DoRC

7 ай бұрын

In theory you're correct but in practice The center differential affords the same protection to the spur and pinion as a slipper while also protecting the rest of the drivetrain. It's very rare that the front and the rear of the car will have the exact same amount of traction. Without a center differential the entire drivetrain has to function as one unit and that means whichever end of the drive drain has more traction is going to dictate The speed of the entire drivetrain. Because of this when it experiences a shock load such as hitting the ground when spinning slower or faster than That impact dictates the entire energy impulse from that speed change has to travel through the whole drive train and be absorbed by the whole drivetrain. That tends to break things. They center differential allows the front and rear to spin a different speed so that's no longer the case. The center differential also performs the same job as the slipper clutch and protecting the spur and pinion because it allows the spur gear to essentially be partially independent from the rest of the drivetrain due to that difference in traction between the front and rear. Ultimately it's a pretty complicated thing to try to explain but in practice the center differential does a really good job of protecting the entire drivetrain whereas the slipper clutch is only really good at protecting the spur and pinion. The center differential is also both more tunable and more predictable in that tuning.

Kraton 4s? That one was already good enough and all they did was discontinue two colors and change them for two others for the refresh. This is a stunt truck, neither the Maxx or the K4s are stunt trucks. A better comparison IMHO would have been the K4s and the Maxx if you looking for a Maxx killer. They are like for like. That said I guess people could choose this over the Maxx, they would not be getting the same experience from either truck but I do see how they may have a choice to make. I personally am more a K4s/Maxx man, I have the Stunt Trucks and for me they are fun but yeah, a Max or K4s will do the same stuff but the Outcast having a shorter wheelbase is more unstable so not as good at high speed. If high speed off-road runs are your thing then you wouldn't choose this over the Maxx. Awesome bit of kit though. IMHO Outcast in nay config has always had the better body.

The V2 Max is closer in wheelbase to the Outcast then the Kraton. It's also a high center of gravity monster truck rather than a Truggy (It's taller than either the outcast or the Kraton with a classic high CG style chassis). I think you could make the case for comparing it to either one but I feel like the max is a stunt truck and so is the outcast while the Kraton is more of a truggy. That being said anything that applies to the outcast as compared to the maxx will pretty much also apply to Kraton so it doesn't really matter which one you compare them to. They both are still better handling cheaper basically have the same features and are nearly equally as durable.

Also all of the updates that they did to the outcast they also did to the Kraton.

That’s just duct work tape , foil tape that’s threaded, I’ve use regular foil tape and I have that tape in white but not foil , I think your right gorilla tape is better , strength wise but it is heavy. It’s a nice kit though nevertheless. 20 m too thick for me , I’ve used 500k and million but that’s my absolute thickest ,

@DoRC

I think it's a little bit beefier than standard ductwork tape but I'm sure it is just some standard tape that they've repackaged. It does seem to work pretty well though especially for the ease of installation and the little amount of added weight. Center differential fluid thickness is always going to be a personal thing. For me short wheelbase monster trucks are for wheelies stunts backflips and being generally crazy so I go as thick as I can without defeating the purpose of the center diff entirely.

20M is a big issue lol. But with the stock fluid it will probably be around 5M. 100k is a bit low but 200k or 500k should be alright. My 6s trucks use 200k with LSD and its plenty wheelies on demand. Only my neros needs 500k-1M. 20M is pretty much almost locked. 20M works on 1/6 and 1/8 because they are heavier but bad for lightweight trucks

@DoRC

Not in my experience. The max comes stock with 20 million and 20 million feels just about right on this truck too. That being said it really depends on what you want to do. For me a short wheelbase stunt truck is for wheelies backflips and doing stupid things and it's perfect for that. And it really doesn't lock it up as much as you think I can still hold the front wheel still and spin the back wheels with no issue.

That's you opinion the maxx is a better basher the outcast is a better stunt truck

@DoRC

7 ай бұрын

Absolutely and my opinion is worth just about as much as anybody else's :-) That being said I have a fair amount of experience with both platforms and I would say that the Outcast is nearly as durable as the max out of the box if not more durable when taking into account things like the servo, is just as much fun to bash and cost $100 less. That being said the max is still a really good truck and is definitely not made obsolete by this! Thanks for watching and commenting.

lol what? To the religious leaders, Jesus was an outcast. His teaching was unorthodox to them and still is to most of the world! Anymore, if you proclaim Jesus as Lord and Savior in public, you’re an outcast to the world, and should boast in Him. As for the 5 spoke design…isn’t that simply a geometric shape? Because the occult uses a pentagram inherently means it’s evil? So when the point is up, and it’s just a star, is it okay? I’m a born again believer and proclaim the good news, but this comment is simply ridiculous. It’s hyper religious and full of presumption. I pray you can be set free from legalism. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 and I mean that.
