Bro, get some high quality hand tools. More than half these jobs you shouldn’t be using the power tip... it was a struggle at times. Plus you can strip out threads easily. Hudy make some of the best RC tools. Worth the investment.
First putting all electronics in/on the receiver box and then get the whole box in the car was much more easier for me. By the way JX Servo HV2060MG 60KG fits perfectly and is under 30 Euro. I'm looking forward to your first run!
I like your videos. I just bought a K8EXB during the last sale. I wanted to run the Reefs Beast 1000. I am assuming I will have trouble fitting that servo?

I have the mmx8s with the 800kv bent the shaft on the motor trying to decide what i should do. Either get the 1100kv with the xlx2 or just get another 800kv motor and keep the mmx8s?
Hey, thank you for the video, I have xlx2+2028 800 on the way, but found a lot of information that they could catch fire, is yours still ok? thinking to return mine. Thank you
I don't have the car anymore sorry. I think the fire issue was just first batch. TBH I think you will be fine. They are pretty good on warranty just in case.
Incorrect. The Savox servo I used The mounting tabs are not located where they need to be for this car. The mounting holes for the Arrma ESC module did'nt line up and if you force it in, the pivot on the front servo saver binds on the chassis guard mounting where the bearing and servo saver swivel pin are.
Hi buddy! U are really Arrma Kraton fan!! You got the best stuffs for both 8th & 5th scale Kraton! :) how does the 9110 servo holding up? Do you need to cut/modified the box to get the servo to fit in it? Thanks once again for the great videos!
The 9110 servo is great, Straight fit into the 8s Kraton, a bit pricey but it is good and in my mind you get what you pay for, Am I a Kraton fan, yes I guess I must be, the are epic RC@s the 8s Kraton feels a little delicate if I'm honest compared to the smaller EXB. Thanks for stopping by my friend and tuning in. CHeers.
@@FullOnRC I am waiting for my local hobby shop to call me once the Outcast EXB arrive. If I am getting the 5th scale, think most likely I will go for the Outcast 8s exb than Kraton 8s exb.

Hey thanks for tuning in. I can not say on the servo sorry as I would want to be wrong. I can only suggest you ask in some of the Facebook Arrma groups in case someone has fitted it themselves. Hope you get good answers.
Hi @Craig Greenhalgh I got them from Ali Express and if you use Honey with Google Chrome you can get a pretty good discount. At least I did at point of sale. Good luck and thanks for tuning in.
Now that is an EXB! I really wanna try the promax solderless connectors. super expensive but I really dont like soldering, and they have a crazy amp rating. honestly, If you aren't using it for speed runs or anything stupid, XT90's will do.

Can I use mamba xlx2 whit the hobbywing 1100kv?
don't see why not, not sure if bullet connectors are same size though.
@Paul Fulton RC ohh on I think I change my mind I like better the xlx2 + 800kv 2028
I found the combo whit the connector ready to run
What size screws did you use for the motor it’s self? The stock ones that castle provides are way too small
Can not remember exact size sorry as I no longer have the car.
Did you ever notice that you forgot to put the two springs on the servo saver?
I did put the two springs; one is inside the other. 10:10
The savox servo would have fit with no problem using the 5th scale servo box that comes with the rig.
