I have the Extreme HD kit for the channel. It will be going on another build. Thanks!

Agreed! And they work well!

They make RCs run too hot. Unless you are in a cooler climate, I wouldn’t bother running them. You’ll toast your ESC and motor, then your receiver.

I think it will in the x0-1 hubs, but the bigger size of the new shaft would need bigger bearings than the ones in the 4x4 platform's aluminum hubs.

@@calebwood8427 yup! I think you’re right.

@joelendurance - I posted this in the main comment thread and copied it here to shed some light on your curiosity 😊 I have a Hoss that’s similarly built. Including the initial cost of the Hoss, you’re looking at $1,500-$2000 to recreate his Hoss shown here. The Traxxas aluminum parts and the steel CVDs are insanely expensive. Every shiny aluminum part is basically $30-$50. CVDs are $80-$90 an axle (so you need two sets). The light kit is $100. The tires and wheels are $40-$50 a set, I ended up buying belted Proline Trencher’s that were $70 a set (so you need two, again). If you’re curious if I think it was worth it and would do it again, the answer is no. The Hoss was my first RC around a year ago so I was green to the hobby. I bought a X-MAXX then two E-REVO 2.0s after the Hoss. Months of upgrading to keep them running, dumping money into them constantly, I decided to take a stab at an ARRMA. Bought the Typhon 6S, then the Kraton 1:5 EXB with Castle XLX2 + 800kV, Kraton 1:8 EXB with Spektrum electronics, Limitless running 8S, Mojave 1:7 EXB running Spektrum 8S electronics, Senton 3S BLX, then the Losi LMT roller running a Spektrum 150A ESC + 2200kV motor on 4S and a Bigfoot body. I did end up winning an auction for a Slash 4x4 but it was already tricked out with a carbon fiber chassis and censored ESC+motor so nothing important was Traxxas anymore and it’s for racing not bashing so it’s rare a part breaks. As you’ve probably already realized, once I made the swap to Horizon Hobby products from Traxxas I haven’t went back. It’s important to note that the initial cost to get an ARRMA RC has always been a bit lower and more accessible with deals/sales that Horizon runs but they do need upgrades too and M2C Racing parts to make them indestructible are a far cry from reasonably priced. I am stubborn though and refuse to sell my Traxxas RCs for a loss and refuse to let the RC beat me by becoming unusable. So I still drive my Traxxas RCs and when they break I upgrade. That’s how I ended up with a Hoss similar to the one in this video, because I broke nearly everything and upgraded anything I could as I worked on it. Strangely enough, the Hoss is my only Traxxas still running stock OEM electronics. My X-MAXX and both E-REVO 2.0’s all killed the ESCs and motors within the last year. The ESCs became unusable for one reason or another, blinking green lights and nothing working or would no longer calibrate but entered calibration each startup or just stopped turning on at all. Same with the motors, had one just completely fry and another had the shaft come loose and spin freely independently of the magnet. The receivers were all OK but I still swapped them all out for Spektrum receivers so I can have one transmitter to rule them all. As far as the servos, none of the stock Traxxas servos lasted more than 2 runs, which is to be expected I guess. I replace my servos in my ARRMA RCs too but I will say that they are far superior to the plastic geared Traxxas servos. It’s been several months since I’ve driven my Hoss.. this video has made me want to take it for a spin soon to remind myself why I made such a huge mistake.. lol 😂

hey, nice comment.

I have the HD kit. It won’t be just a review of the kit alone. Building a killer project truck around it.

Man awesome! Should have read these before commenting lol. Thinking of doing my sl4sh with this, hoss sledgehammer tires, and a skinny body to fit them.

@@trentnichols3661 It’s something similar. 😆

It was kind of a necessary element to the red, white and blue theme of the platform. 😄

Including the cost of the Hoss, you’d be spending closer to $2,000. I’m speaking from experience when I say that it isn’t worth it. My Hoss is built nearly identical with a few things added or left off from this build, and it was stupid expensive. One day I added it all up and it was very close to $2k.

Yeah, Traxxas aluminum hop ups aren’t super worth it. I’d Chuck some RPM arms on and call it a day

And how!

@@dustang5.O I feel ya

Naw man, Traxxas really isn’t shittt but thieves. I have 4 current model Traxxas RCs and 5 current model ARRMA RCs, and 2 current model Losi RCs. The ARRMA’s are the shittttttttt!
