Arrma Kraton EXB 4x4 - Will it really take an EXTREME Bashing?

new toy please subscribe so this is the new creighton exp

extreme

bash armor let me be the judge of that so originally I wasn't going to buy this car because I already have a fully decked out armor box and 6 with all the m2c upgrades . I already have it and this with all the upgrades is an absolute tank, probably one of the strongest rc cars if not the strongest rc car I have but I have seen a lot of comments from many of you wanting me to get one. one of these with reviews that say you're not going to get one until you've seen me try one, so there it is, so the Clayton above is a good platform out of the box, but if you're going to start hitting it hard. then it actually had many weaknesses, the main one was that the original chassis bent very easily, the original chassis supports would break, the original towers would bend easily, the shock absorbers used to break at the top and bottom to make a long story short , basically had pretty few weaknesses, so companies like m2c racing made heavy duty chassis and a lot of other parts to bring them up to par, so now, with experience, it's supposed to leave the factory already reinforced and ready for some

extreme

attack action so in this video we are going to put it together and then we are going to put it in its places and we

will

see if it is

really

good or not so they come without electricity it is just a rolling chassis and I think that It's a good thing because then you can choose exactly what electrical system you want to put in there.

Now I have this 2300 kv tp motor, a maxi cse and a Dumbo radio servo. I don't know yet, so a quick overview of what upgrades are on this car. I'm not going to bore you with all that techno talk, so if you want to know where you can get the car and all the things that I'm going to put in it and also all the specs, all that techno talk, all that stuff. There

will

be a link to all of that below, it comes with a stronger bumper, stronger arms, stronger shock ends, 70-75 shock towers on top and bottom, if you don't know what 70-75 means it's basically a

really

strong grade degree. aluminum or aluminum for you Americans, we have stronger hinge pin mounts, metal top mount, stronger top plates, heavy duty metal chassis mounts, a 70-75 aluminum chassis, but only three millimeters thick If we look at m2 c1, it is five millimeters thick. so in theory the m2c should be even stronger but we are going to discover a new way the rear coupler attaches to stronger turnbuckles and also has much stronger diffs with some tricks inside so it comes stock with the 12 tooth sprocket, which I think is going to be awfully slow, so let's start with a 15 tooth sprocket, that's enough, let's start tightening, so when you put the gear mesh on you're going to want to make sure there's a A little bit of play between the pinion and the spur gear because if you put it too close it will heat up the motor, the batteries and the electrical power, and there will be a lot of problems, so we will be Stealing the mac 6 esc from the long jump car because I have a max 5 new to go into that one, so the max 6 barely fits in there, we have to cut this little edge here because it kind of sticks out. a little bit if you can read this just send it don't worry we'll be fine so as for servo, I'm going to put this servo here.

I originally had this servo here to put on my x-max, but I haven't got anything else at the moment, so I'll go ahead and put it here. Check it. Complete metal case. Complete metal gear. These are really a top quality servo if you want to know more specifications. Technobabble where to get one of all. In that batch there will be a link where you can get them from below so next we need to solder these connections and I know some of you will be triggered by my soldering skills but I don't care it's just a toy don't laugh guys , boom, perfect, I can't see it now.

Time to plug it in and see if it works. If I'm going to execute it successfully. Live pose. I'm going to use two of these three. cells together to make 6. These are powers. I've had them for over a year and they have worked absolutely perfectly and are very cheap so I will link to these below. Also this ESC can run 8. I have a pair of Turner G graphene here 4s and 4s 8s and these actually fit inside the battery compartment absolutely perfectly so I'll also give you a link below so I just plugged them in and caliber. the esc I have my servo set to center and now I can go ahead, put the steering in center and go ahead and put the servo horn on, get some screw action in there, all good, here we go, that's that servo, it has a lot power.

OMG that was a hit imagine what it's going to do in a test guys that servo is super smooth just listen to that so a couple more jobs first I just have a little rpm shield plate to put on here back, but it's I already have the skid plate on the front, so just to protect the chassis a little bit, also all the differentials seem very loose. Also, I've been watching a couple of videos on YouTube, but people say you have to shimmy them because if you don't, the gears could break, so let's

take

all the differentials apart, put some oil in there, shimmy them and then we'll be ready to hit, so next I'm going to do the differential fluids, but I'm going to do that as a live stream video, so if you want to watch that live stream, I'll put a link to that below .

Boom, we already made all the differences. Now the diffs are a lot thicker so we're going to get better handling, I also shimmed them and filled the whole diff so I'll put about 20,000 on the front, I put about half a million in there but I left what was there and a bit of a mix and then I put about 20,000 in there, so now we're going to

take

it out for a blast, but I don't really want to destroy this new shell first before using it, what I want to do is just put the plaster tape in there. and the shoe well so for now I'm just going to use this old Creighton body here we are at the location we have the gps there let's see how fast it's going to go it's pretty lively oh that's lively oh wow that has a standing back jump standing back jump attempt oh my god I could do two okay let's take advantage of the speed we're live on youtube no pressure dude we're trying to speed up the monkey that's more important than this dumb truck in all of this Here come on yeah dangerous oh are you exploding or hitting both?

Wonderful, oh that was great, you just don't care, what do you think? Yeah, that's pretty hot. We want to give in a little tonight. Yes, maybe it's okay. so I think 15-2 from there is too geared, so I'm going to go ahead and put in the number 12 tooth that comes with the kit. Also check it out. I just did the shugu and drywall tape on the body, so we'll weigh in and then we'll go out and give it a durability test. boom i got it there and then a little trick i got from martin is when you jump these cars really high the engine actually stops and hits the chassis so you can rip it off the stand here you can damage the engine you can damage the stand , dense the back of the engine.

I've wrecked a lot of engines doing it, so we used a little bit of this stuff here, a little bit of putty. under the motor and just gives it a little bit of cushioning to absorb some of the impact from the arm, not the best job but it works about the beauty waffle waffle waffle youtube yes we are youtube alright new location different opinion 15 teeth will it still be just standing back there we go oh my gosh that was a little harder than I thought it would be watch out ma'am wow nice landing your chassis looks straight still perfect awesome jason come on come on did you sell those in your store?

Hell yes, yes, it does. him in the workshop, how many do you have? I have a couple, yeah, so if you want one, go see Jason, I think I need one, yeah, he's supposed to be a really good one, he's supposed to be a really good steering servo, I think it is. one of 32 kilos, have you forgotten how to drive Michael? What happened was a nosedive. Oh, the battery came out. Oh, they put a light pole there that used to be a trailer. Here we go anyway, oh my god, we're still going to do it. once again they keep saying that the tp engine is violent, i mean your confidence still looks good, this could be the first successful attack which is like a kev test out of the box, oh oh we saved it, ah, about If we went out, yes, Batman came out. connecting again and getting back into the action, so guys, let's do the suicide jump.

The suicide jump is executed from there, we are going to hit it and we have to clear everything. The problem is that it's wet, you probably aren't. we're going to run up, but then the second suicide jump, which we'll probably do first, you actually run up from that one, hit that one and land on the downward slope of that one, that one is actually more doable, let's do that first. easy whoa the chassis look good ah collector out again ah man oh slot in the chassis right on that edge looks good yeah man let's do it again try it then okay Vinnie has to go because Vinnie wants to buy one so which now after having to go, you'll probably definitely want to buy one, oh that's it, okay, next location, so I took the skate park, so now you'll take the dirt track oh no, oh, it just came out the sprocket, put it back in and we'll be back.

Action guys, somehow the pinion slipped and the grub screw is completely ground. The video is trying to fix it so we can fix it. We can put it back into action. If not, then there will be no action. Give him influence, well, drake. there playing on his phone game over yeah game over so the first thing you guys thought absolutely amazed I mean all that abuse and nothing has been broken so the front bumper did its job , shock absorbers, perfect shock towers, perfect center stand, lovely, beautiful arms, all axles, lovely and straight, and now. for the chassis a slight little tweak but guys that's not bad handling wise it did roll over a couple of times but the stock runs pretty high so next time I'll lower the suspension a bit and run it a bit . a little lower and that should fix it, but guys, I don't have anything negative to say about it.

I am absolutely impressed and time will tell if it is as difficult as the legendary x-maxx and don't forget guys, we were just racing. We are going to try this on lipo 6s soon and don't forget that if you want to know where we can get it from and we can get all the parts that are in this car, there will be links to all of them. We also have a new Traxxas a one hour rc car let's check the size of that esc so this car will soon be ready for action so subscribe and hit the bell so you don't miss anything so for now I'll see you in one of these videos here
