Associated MT10 is good value. Hopefully RPM make parts for the MT8 for extreme bashing.
Not being able to do 40mph without crashing, is unacceptable. Especially from Associated, we all know they can do so much better!
I've been waiting for this vidja for a while now. Knew it was coming.
I've got this truck, and at first I absolutely hated it. Once I found most of the weak points and how to make it a reliable rig, I fell in love with it like my mt10 that I've done a Lwb conversion on. Got a playlist on that conversion if interested.
To make this truck reliable you'll need the following redcat kaiju parts:
Front and rear control arms.
Front hubs and carriers
Rear hubs
Sway bars are desired but not needed.
Then you'll need arrma turnbuckles;
2 packs- 5x50mm upper camber links
1 pack- 5x64mm steering links.
Replace with these parts, and this rig will surprise you. The chassis is really strong and the diffs are very large. But sadly alot of other components were not well made. I've got a few videos about this truck and how to make it reliable.
I canât believe how poor quality this RC is for the money, it was hardly extreme bashing. Imagine being that kid who waited ages to get a hobby grade RC car and it falls apart that easy. Saving up ages for replacement parts or upgrades, you would lose interest so quick in the hobby.
Exactly companies will never think like that. Such a fun awesome hobby but many burdens with payment and trial and error.
thats me, bought a cheap hobby grade rc car, the batteries died, then bought more batteries, they never arrived, bought more batteries just for the car to break
This is my arma graniteâŠ
Agree
But my first rc was a Stampede 2wd lasted 14 years raced it bashed it around some jumps and speed bumps never replaced a single part. Now I have me a slash and love it!
Had my eyes on this for a while, but after seeing the problems and your confirmation of them, I think I'll just go with its older smaller brother or maybe the new 4s outcast
The older one MGT was a beast
SAAAAMMEEE
cliff jones go for the new 4s outcast they are amazing I love mine đđ
The new 4s Kraton is much better than the MT8. The MT10 is a little beast.
@@motorworksproductions153 think I will
After owning the MT10 I was expecting good things for the MT8, however I'm very disappointed with the durability. They went from most durable budget RC to least durable. Great video kev
this just screams go with the mt ten or the traxxas max. from what I've heard they are the tanks of the rc car world.
WOW... the big brother was a total let down durability wise. Hard to tell if 4s would be the better power option with the parts breaking all over the car on what looked like a very tame landing. Definitely a back to the drawing board item. Needs more BEEF!! Great fun vid Kev !!! Keep them coming!
That talking servo bit killed me. Absolutely killed me-
âWell hello little Ecoboost, are you alright?â
âNOOOOOOOOâ
Honestly when he started to make it talk that was the first time I've actually felt sad for the little fella, never felt sentimental towards a servo but making it talk like it was suffering made me choke a little, funny shit though had me wheezing for air on my shop desk đ
Bash .. meeeeeee!
That made me proper belly laugh
These are the videos we love from you. You show the good and the bad of the products. Keep these types of videos coming out! Love them.
Itâs like they didnât test the truck before releasing it. Traxxas and other top brands go by testing its like associated just made the parts bigger from the mt 10 and expected them to hold up to a 1/8th size truck with 1/10 durability.
hey kevin I've had mine for a few months and unfortunately it broke after just a few minutes. RPM is probably in the process of making new Arms for the Rival. The pins in the Arms can be quickly replaced with your own 4mm spring steel pins. and the servo saver must be tightened significantly. I hope I can bash mine properly soon. Greetings from Germany âđŒ
Iâm using Redcat Kaiju arms, theyâre definitely holding up better than the AE arms did
Yes Kevin rushed the review on this one or something. Didn't do much research on it prior it seems.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a follow video correcting this one. Sooner than later hopefully.
Rock on Team Associated.
Rpm aren't doing arms for the Mt8/ kaiju yet from what I've been told, associated need to reformulate the plastics, they may be fine for racers but not bashers
huge fan of the MT10 and easily one of the best 3s bashers out there but this thing is a disappointment.. shame as was waiting for this truck! Think the MT10 is still the king!! Cheers Kev đđ
The redcat kaiju upgraded aluminum hubs and carriers work on this rig also the aluminum steering rack n the lower arms are a direct bolt on I also used arrma typhon 6s turnbuckles to solved that snapping issue hope this helps
Just make sure to leave one point of failure, or a pop-off point at a balljoint or youre gonna break something expensive eventually. There should always be one cheap part you carry a ton of spares of, or one break-away piece that can be popped in repeatedly, and you'll never have to replace the expensive shit. ;)
I like 3d printing one component about 15 times as a tray that way I know it'll break before all the injection molded parts, and only costs pennies to replace.
I donât even own a RC car, I just love these vids, the carnage, and the tumble wumbles
Interesting, those Reedy servos are usually pretty good. I have a couple in my cars and they work fine. Perhaps they had a servo that was too weak? đ€
I think it has something to do with the steering geometry because he immediately broke another servo that doesnât normally break
@@martinmang1 on point
Or over volted
We had the reedy servos fail within the first 2 runs on the mt10
I was gonna say is it a cheap reedy like having a Wal-Mart mongoose bmx over one from a bike shop
Definitely seemed more usable on 4s . Loved the look of your face when you ballooned the tyres , I thought they were gonna pop . If the MT10 was a great car how have they managed to make the bigger one so poor in comparison đ . Fun vid Kev đ
Because when you increase the mass of the car, the forces exerted on it are greater. You have to find a balance between mass and part size, otherwise things break because you cannot make parts too huge. Another thing is the flexibility of the chassis: if parts are too stiff, something becomes a weak point. One of the main reasons the X-Maxx is such a vastly superior basher to an 8S Kraton/Outcast.
@@rustler08 đ .
6s is lunacy. 4s is so much better. I've ran mine hard on 4s and so far only broke the front bumper. I did a few mods recommended by other channels and it's been a blast! The other channels actually care to make the truck more resilient and definitely DON'T put a JX Ecoboost servo in them. The $20 Amazon servos are half the price and I still haven't killed one. My MT10 is still much tougher and I will agree with you all day on that.
because they didnt desing the mt10 , they bought it from another company ;)
Seems like a pretty good RC, it would probably be a great toy and hold up fine for the average, normal RC'er. As for being Kev proof... Is there anything that holds up? LMBO It is nice to see and know something's limits though.
I see youâre rebuilding the losi 5t cant wait for it to be back together I really canât believe the car got completely destroyed like that. This time I hope it wonât explode into a thousand pieces
I feel like you need to lower the wheelie bar when doing speed runs so it might just bump onto the bar. Then again, with the way this thing seems to just spontaneously backflip out of control, it'd probably just pogo off the wheelie bar and launch itself steering-rack-first into the nearest tree.
When I was a kid everyone had a RC10GT.
I'm going to acquire the MT10, eventually. It's bigger brother, here, appears to be garbage. I like models that don't come apart in their first runs. Team Associated should go back and try again.
It's rebranded, not a Team Associated product.
Anyone else waiting for the day when Kev chucks a rc in the back of Landy and we get an instant "WASTED!"?
For the money kev i do believe that its âEpicâ
6s with a rolling back-flip out the box is just what we need for $550(u.s)
Arrma has exploding diffs and Traxxas is hard to customize/upgrade and both are way more expensive.
Ive got both and defiantly need an MT8.
Good servo and smaller tireâs itâll be wicked.
Hello kev! . Greetings from Durham. I just want to say your videos are class, you always mix things up and the stuff you get upto is a lot of fun to watch . I've always loved all things RC , although I've not had many . Probably down to not being mechanically minded at all.
Strange thing is, when you are modifying,fixing or building , i find that stuff very interesting as well .
Your editing is brilliant đ.
All in all mate , i just want to say a big thank you and keep up the great work......stu đ
Hey kev, congrats with your monster truck Iâll be coming to see the show!
Hello from the Pacific Northwest of the USA!
Deans was amazing! For a few days, lol. For me it was doing a loop in a Bixler RC plane, it unplugged during a loop, amazingly the plane glide for 5 minutes in a gentle turn, porpoising and landed like a champ all by itself. XT60/90 from then on, cheap lesson learnt!
I like the guy with the SMAX, he seems really mature and like a dad for the channel. Stemp and Kev are the kids lol
Wish every servo was as talkative as that one.
This looks pretty dang sweet actually.. shame its a bit of a let down when using it đ
And Deans plugs ..... đ đ
That wheel whizzing off had me đ. Fun stuff. đ
The mt8 is just a redcat kaiju not the ext just a regular kaiju with extra parts and different body.
Half way down that Rd is a crossing across the stream. See if you can skim it across the ford.
If it fails Iâd leave it in the drink.
Nice one kev đđ»
I've found associated rigs are generally built for precision and flow. Can expect junk electronics rtr and they're just designed to be driven with more care than an Xmaxx or kraton
This may be good just for an off-road in the mud or dirt but you are definitely not bashing this thing hardcore. It's sucks too, looked like a decent truck
10:07 The car is break dancing đ
Tomley managed to turn one into a canoe, didn't think it'd do well here.
Iâve yet to take it in the lake đ
@@TomleyRC You know, when some goon knocks all the corners off an open wheeler, it's then a canoe :P
I had my eyes on the Mt8 but after seeing this, ill just looking at JLB Cheetahs lmaooo
Could be worse⊠could be mine! Oh hang onâŠ. mine ended exactly the same đ€Ł
So, are we just not going to talk about 8S Steve's shirt? That was pretty epic.
Kevin the Evil RC Tire said, "See ya!"
I was hoping it would be as good as the MT10!
same!!
Would be interesting to see a comparison between a stock RC car and one that you build up from completely aftermarket parts.
He has done that....several times?
The only thing better than Claireâs laugh in slow motion, would have to be the face you make when you go full tilt to ballon the tiresđ
With A Harley you got a tool kit, with a Honda you got a map...đșđČđ
Servo was better with a broken arm đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł your lucky Kevin to have a cool group to have rc fun with man!!
9:29 Donât upset mr Gillmore đ€Ł
2:38 You had a perm, Kevin..? đđ
They might as well not bother including a servo if it needs replacing out of the box anyway.
Kev can you do a brushless build for the wltoys 144001
Hey man, Ur one of my favourite CZcamsrs, Iâve recently had a cogging issue in my Traxxas Mini Maxx and Iâve been blowing hundreds of dollars trying to fix it, buying new motors etc. Since you have been in the hobby for many many years Iâm wondering if you knew any way to fix it. Thanks for being my inspiration for the hobby.
New esc should Fix it
Hey Kevin, can you do a torture test of the traxxas slash 4x4 Vxl ?
The best part of that video, besides the pure carnage, is your mates, Fart Loading T. lmao
I had an RC I got off AliExpress and every time we took it out, it broke. And we upgraded it, the metal chassis broke on the first run and we taped on the battery since we didn't have a battery holder for the chassis and now it's a donor car for my 2wd rustler.i would consider your RC strong instead of a disapointment
And the frame took it!!!
Whoo.i think this is perfect.every rc needs some upgrades and the entry price is wayyy better than the competition.
The nitro Kyosho MP10 box is always there teasing us! Still looking forward to that build!
Hey Kev, next time you want to review this truck, do yourself a favor, save $50, and get the Redcat Kaiju instead. It's the same front and rear end, bolted onto a fully plastic chassis instead of an aluminum chassis. I bought the Kaiju EXT for $350 on sale, and it's actually been pretty fun. I think if you really want it to hold together, 4s is definitely safer for it, but I have put several 6s packs through it as well, jumped it, backflipped it, and landed poorly many times. I've had one caster block half way crack, and replacements were only $8, not too mad at it. Only major issues is it is way overgeared out of the box, electronics overheat like crazy, and it comes with belted tires, one of them exploded from a controlled wheelie. I don't think RPM has any parts for it, but Redcat does sell aluminum caster blocks and axle carriers that might be worth giving a go.
The redcat has the same chassis as the team associated m10. Those chassis came from a vkar bison
@@joshdunbar3818 Oh crap, you're right! The MT10 is just a straight copy of the 1st gen Kaiju. Never even noticed that, although probably because I saw Kev's review of the 10 before getting my Kaiju. Guess I can cross off the MT10 from my list of trucks to buy.
The diffs come almost completely empty as well. Fried center diff after 2 runs on 6s. I fixed it n sold it
Hey mate, I saw the Cison FG-VT9 on your bench. Great taste in engine's đ€!
You are my 4 year old grandson Carter biggest fan, he watches you every day đ
the old 1/8 RIVAL with rpm arms etc was wicked durable and it was so friggin fun even on the track. just a few rpm parts and some aluminum shock towers and that thing was un killable
awww, Ian! I want to hang with Ian and Claire. Yeah boy! I'll bring the Ye!
Never thought I'd hear you say 4s is nice, 6s is too fast! đ
Servo better when saver is tightened as tight as itâll go.
Try it with rpm arms? They made some
A traxxas stampede could last longer than that.
you did hit the side of that ramp pretty hard lol 15:30
Love to see some more crawlers Kev. Maybe some extreme rock bouncing
Should try put small lead fishing weights to keep the front lifting đ€
13:31 8s has got drip
Kyosho Mad Wagon! The center brace is a monster. Please bash it Kevin!!
My man Kevin sets out to seek and destroy every new RC he gets then acts surprised when they break lmao. That's why I watch
That subtle FJB đđđ
Letâs go Brandon best part lmao the even the Brits know heâs a piece of work.
You're always telling them that the metal chassis bends, but they always make it with some kind of metal or alloy. Marketing wins again, while true and tried methods don't help spare parts sales so yeah. Customers are always right, but who the hell cares with unlimited uninformed "new" customers out there right big companies? Charge more for less is THE name of the game I guess cause everyone's doing it so must be working. Great overview
We have a choice of models so consumers have advantage. Choice of parts company? well, less choice. Yay for frolicing reviews!
If you screw a nut partway on a bent threaded shaft. Then hit the nut instead of the threads. 5:24
Canât wait for a 5T video those parts look amazing
Kev: Weâre all zeroed off! âproceeds to show the gps saying 6 mphâ
i love watching kev, im new to the hobby and this channel helps explain problems and other stuff with specific cars i want
Wow thatâs a fantastic monster truck.
The platform seems to have a lot of potential but there is quite a list of things that need doing to it out the box. It's massively over damped so the suspension takes all the load when landing. The shock oils need changing, extra holes need drilling in the pistons. The diff's need doing, very little oil in them. As you probably saw from the onboard cam the the body posts need cutting at the bottom as they actually hit on the suspension when the suspension compresses under load. It needs the arms and upgraded turnbuckles off the Recat Kaiju Also seems to work better on 4s. Think that's about it the chassis seems solid
Jaytee RC has taken his 4s Kraton and Outcast 6s. Can't wait to see what you do.
A basher that needs upgrades right out of the box is not a good basher! Facts!
Golfers going to be mad
It didn't seem like you were too hard on it and it still couldn't take it, I'll pass on the MT8 and stick with my MT10!! Its Waaaaay more durable, controllable and handles power better at high speed. Team Associated NOT so tough!! Bash on Bro!
Looks like it needs some⊠erm⊠improvementsâŠ
Great video. Can you please revisit this one since Associated is now shipping them with the better A-Arms and turn buckles?
that sucks to see, I have Raced Associated RC race cars for years and love them, sucks to see their RTR line isnt cutting the mustard compared to traxxas and arma
The arrma 4s v2 lineups are going to sell out quickly. Almost the size of the 6s kraton but all plastic. Aluminum gears and aluminum shocks
Kev sounds like the Hitcher from the Mighty Boosh a couple times in this video đ€Ł
Kev get belted Tyres and you will have a better truck won't flip too much and more control. Trouble with tyres that balloon there less tyre on the surface if you think about it Kev!!
'oh no did something come off? yea the wheel came off'
Hi kev. I watch your videos all the time! You made me get a xmaxx!!!
10:13 I didn't know the MT8 had Bluetooth wheels!!
đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł the tire just left the chat đ€Łđ€Łđ
Iâve had my eye on the mt8 for a while. I still have my MGT the original AE king. Guess they donât make them like they used too eh. Good bash video though Kev. đȘđŒ
Always check your wheel nuts before bashing kev. đ„ Boom
Servo saver bro nothing to do with the servo..... same on the mt10 I blue glued mine shut
You know you can tighten it up without actually gluing it right? Lol. He needed that servo saver though... didn't save his poor little "high speed" economy servo.
Wow.
Effortless Rolling backflip is epic!
I will so pick one up.
For $550 I would put a servo on happily.
Defiantly a better deal to start with this truck.
Seems stronger and faster than the others
You have to use Kaiju arms, they're not a brittle!
