I have the stock A-Arms still, I have a HP racing spool in the rear end for a live axle, and a HP racing hardened steel spur gear. I love it though!! Super reliable.

In addition to your situation, I have noticed if the ESC is used heavily, it can and will thermal shutdown. a solution to that would be to aim two small fans at the ESC to the left and right of it, that cures that problem. Also the Spur and Pinion are inadequate, the pot metal has exploded on me twice under the high speed gear combo. Replace with hardened steel and you will end up with a much more durable drive train. Also have replaced both front and rear diff cases with the aluminum case from the torque biasing center diff. I haven't broken anything in the suspension, but i find the drive train of this truck to be very fragile.

The stock arms are amazingly stout, I don't believe that is a must for upgrading... I've had more issues with the front shock tower getting bent after lawn darting but have wrapped all the "tubes" with silicone tape which has helped in allowing things to take more shock before giving up ;)

The parts needed for the SRR are 109 c hubs and upper suspension arms. 60-88 spindles. A must. Gpm aluminum servo saver bell crank and aluminum servo saver mount 50, 1/5 servo mount 55, 1/5 scale servo 50-100. Upper link mount 40 and the rear bearing carrier 50+. Then you break the axle housing or lower control arms or front shock tower. All those are limited to one maker running 88 for the cheapest part. So so glade I traded it for an x maxx before I got in the hole.

Going to put in and order here soon but there are so many conflicting forum posts.

Espically if you upgrade the motor like i did with the 1460KV TP Motor, Max5 ESC. I personally went with the savox 1210 servo because it has 444oz of power and it’s Savox! I never trust Traxxas.

I would say just tape stock tires,put denser foam inserts if sidewalls are too weak and roll too much, and or strap/wrap your tires in high test fishing line. The stock tires are so much easier on the drivetrain,a arms,steering servo, bulkhead,etc those badlands are so hard on the truck if you are doing extreme bashing.

@sofghost6663 4 жыл бұрын

Also on a side note rpm arms arnet really needed just spray the stock arms with wd-40 and let them soak overnight and the wd-40 will seep into the plastic and soften them making them more flexible and prone to breaking just like the rpm arms for a fraction of the price

Sure, they changed quite a few things on 8S, but we still recommend RPM. Parts are beefy and flex instead of breaking.

Do you know if they make a tougher alternative for the 7720 part on an 8S? Mine broke and it was a pain in the butt to replace. It seems like that should be a stiffer aluminum piece. And, it’s pretty important for the truck.

It should be flexing, this is why it was made it out of plastic, aluminum would cause something else to break plus truck will be much heavier (more inertia etc)

It depends on how you run it. For most people stock is OK (with extra cooler/ heatsink )...It is possible to damage any ESC with high output batteries. There is no need to get high end charger if your goal is to charge two high performance batteries at a time. Instead of spending $400-500 on a charger, get 2 $100 ones...it be just as good.

It depends on the way you ride/play. Make sure you check temp after first couple of minutes and then after 10mins, to make sure that you are not over heating/stressing it.

I don't understand what you are saying at 11:18. It sounds like you said "RPM Uprights"? I know you are talking about bearings shortly thereafter, but I am just slightly confused. Also, I wen't to the RPM site and it says that the bearings are not a replacement for stock Traxxas Axle Carriers. So, does that mean that we need to change that carrier to fit the new bearings? Sorry, I am a newbie and just getting in to the hobby.

Watched this vid again and not sure if you knew that thay tried to get away with still having the 6s rated tires on it?. My first set they replaced the rear since I sent a pic of about 2-3" without any adhesive noticed as my tire was coming over the bead. I went ahead and bought the second pair. Thought that was fair. Was not gonna ask them to replace them all since the front ones had not come apart yet. And they stayed in the air more. Lol.

I’m a little bit late saying this, but the tires are great if your doing off-road speed runs or driving in all terrain, but if your a basher then these tires aren’t for you there very heavy and can put stress on lots of other parts and your electronics, it also ways it down more that the stock tires

SAD HOW U SAY ITS AN."EXPENSIVE" RC TRUCK only to end up replacing or upgrading every part that matters. Down to the esc. Im a new owner of an 8s xmaxx and not even 5hr total run time and my esc went bad. Into my 3rd set of diff gears both front and back. Spent more for the spiral cut gears that didnt last long. Cant wait for Arrma to get with the large scale band wagon.

@@Rcstreetshop im finding that out. Also what I just figured out is that its not the components that are bad but rather a design flaw. The engineers got this one wrong and why they havent fixed it is beyond me.

@Procrastn8rsUnite2morrow 4 жыл бұрын

How so you ask? Well, they tuck the heat sensitive esc in a trench surrounded by all this heat source. Behind it is the motor, in front are the metal gears and on both sides are the 4s batteries. All generating enough heat to hurt the esc and eventually causw a short circuit. Untop of that is a body that traps all that heat in. A simple remedy is to lift the esc up a few inches and get cool air circulating around it. Once I did that and my esc works like a dream. No more error codes and play all day long. 🤙🤙
