Hey Rich! I was hoping you might have an opinion on if a Xrt or Sledge is a more durable basher. I’m not near as hardcore as you are, but give my rigs a good pounding on our mx track. A few upgrades aren’t a big deal, I just don’t want to be constantly breaking it. I’m having a hard time deciding, and thought you might have some insight.

@richduperbash2966

Жыл бұрын

I'd lean towards the XRT personally. It's far bigger and probably better suited for the MX track. The Sledge is pretty tough once you upgrade the chassis and motor mount. The stock motor mount is basically junk and will destroy gears from flex, poor design, and materials. Both trucks have considerable potential, but the Sledge requires more to make durable from what I've experienced. The XRT really only needs a better spur gear/pinion, wing mount support (GarageLife RC), and a stronger bell crank. Both are pricey options, but I think the XRT is more fun and a better value in the end. 🍻

Great rig to jump back into the hobby with and tons of aftermarket parts available. 🍻

Im waiting on m2c bc i dont want a full metal vitavon bell crank on the xrt and have to worry about it breaking something else. Also what do you reccomend for a servo horn on the xrt? I have a powerhobbies 729mbl and thinking about getting another but before i pull the trigger on it i wanted to ask around and see what other servo options were usable for the xrt along with a better horn for it.

Rich I have a question. When you say you have half silicone earplug half 20 million weight in the center why do you still use the 20 miilion weight? I heard you say you had this setup in the RTR Kraton 8s and wanted to ask you. Don't the silicone earplugs lock the center diff making it not even be in use? If that is the case what's the point of still using the 20 million weight oil along with it? So in this EXB you just have silicone earplugs in the center diff with no 20 million weight diff oil? As usual I love this video 😂🤣

@richduperbash2966

Жыл бұрын

Hey Brother 🤗. Silicone ear plugs don't lock the diff in these heavy Beasts 😍. It just slows down the diff action and rear to front power transfer. You can still turn the diff by hand with some leverage. I use to run a mix of 20mil and Silicone earplug. Over time, I tried straight ear plugs and it works better, especially once the diff heats up and the silicone softens during the run. The trick is packing the ear plug in carefully making certain to leave ample space for the planetary gear when closing up the diff. If the lid isn't fully seated, the gears won't mesh properly and the gears will get damaged. I can typically pack around 1.25 to 1.5 ear plugs into the ARRMA 8s diffs. My guess is Silicone ear plugs is around twice the firmness of 20mil. It definitely does a better job of mitigating ballooning and getting the power down 😍

You probably have a warranty claim if it's a brand new purchase 🤔. If the rotor still spins (isn't seized) my guess is the motor might be fine, could be an ESC or reciever problem. There isn't much difference between a 780 and 800kv motor assuming they're the same physical size. Hope you get the problem sorted my friend 🤗

I'm digging her too 😁. Very light and agile for her size.

So u don’t think truck isn’t going straight/turning right cause that ridiculous amount of flex in belcrank🧐. Weird I’d assume that’s definitely the issue.

Nope. The bellcrank only flexes during harsh impacts. My servo is no longer bolted to the chassis 😂. It's fudged into place until M2C makes a simple brace plate for it. Still running the crappy stock 2085 for now. My saver spring needed more tension and my center diff needs tuning with the extra power on harder throttle.

If I had that much space I would have bigger rc s nice bash.

Thanks Brother 🤗. Yeah these rigs command bigger space. Such a rush opening them up 🍻

I hope the cameraman wear safety glasses :-)

Most definitely Brother 👀. Absolute must with these rigs and flying gravel. 😎💪👊👊

This stops being fun after the third control arm. It’s cool for content but if you drove not past it’s limits maybe people that are not rich my consider it. I started with a 170$ 1/14 buggy that is solidly built. Will your wheels hold if you jump it half as high as you doing today, like that your control arms are good for at least 500 hours? Theses cars should come with that data. Simple chip for the price.

I haven't bashed in a year and half..............😢😢
