I tried both but the 20mm wide straps, the hook portion is longer so there's very little loop portion to grip on to with larger packs. I wish they would use the combined hook/loop that Arrma uses. If the Arrma straps weren't so weak compared to these, I would use them for everything.
Man, after casing that first jump with the Kaiju... I was surprised it kept going!New Kaiju running pretty good. Better than a Tekno?
I hear you on the parts price comparison between the 410 and Kaiju.We have a good 8" of the white stuff here so I might as well take a break from the O8S mess & finish my crude arms. They are 1/2" thick HDPE so I think the hinge pins may be in for it. I probably will make a brace for the bulkheads to keep the upper arm from breaking it again. I'm not exactly on the best terms with my MT410 since it cook my Castle X ESC but it's doing great with the max6 combo. Compared to the Kaiju which only have a few original parts, my MT410 only has a steel spur, center brace, & shock caps for upgrades. But I ca definitely have more fun with the Kaiju since I don't care about breaking it. Super cheap parts & upgrades will do that to you. Now only if it had aluminum bulkheads & shock towers . . . but I can only dream

It took me 9 months to make bullet proof upper arms mainly because I thought the 1st design was serious overkill so I dumbed it down way too much - & ended up using the original design anyway. So I'm not playing around with the lower arms & going straight for something that will work - then mod that as needed. By adding the braces I saw about half a dozen problems with the all blue plastic so I hacked it up

11.06 lbs w/o the body, 12.42 lbs with. It's definitely no lightweight anymore
That's a Whole Lotta Rosie!!11.06 lbs w/o the body, 12.42 lbs with. It's definitely no lightweight anymore
. . . & the tire is zeroed out.

And the body is just as insane as the truck

dude that looks awesome don't mind me but im going to get some of that HDPE and do the same thing lolWe have a good 8" of the white stuff here so I might as well take a break from the O8S mess & finish my crude arms.

I was trying to get it to a place where it could survive enough hits to satisfy my bashing itch in a single session. The weight shouldn't be much of an issue. It actually made the truck be able to handle it's power much more than the stock truck - although it's still a nutball on 6s. But the separate pieces of the lower arms should be able to break before the inner reinforcements & they are easily replaceable. Plus the kind of hit that it will take would more of less total the truck - breaking the chassis or ripping the entire front/rear end off. It should be able to survive any of the crazy backflip wrecking I've been doing up until now. The screws attaching the upper arms to the bulkheads will still bend but that's a easy fix.
So far I've only broken one lower arm on one of my Kaijus at the skatepark, but I treat my Kaijus better than you. Hehe. My son drives them on 4s mostly.It took me 9 months to make bullet proof upper arms mainly because I thought the 1st design was serious overkill so I dumbed it down way too much - & ended up using the original design anyway.
