Mojave Calling Arrma - We really need/want something like this...

[Sandracer_NL]

Looks good.Do you need hex extenders to run the mx28's?

Those are actually Louise MT Uphill for the Maxx series. I am now running their MT Pioneer tires (a bit more grip in loose sand). No extender needed, the tires have 0.5 inch offset.

Thanks.I have a set of mx28's that I used to use on my truggyfied typhon and want to run them on my dr8 but the typhoon needed hex extenders or kraton hubs and hexes.

I’ve read a few DR8 owners are running Fastrax 15mm wheel extenders which work great.

 

[martin34]

Yeah I have been trying to get them but everywhere is out of stock of them including fastrax themselves

 

[stevenwm]

I want one!

How's it holding up? My concern is durability and getting parts for these unknown brands?

Doesn't matter you can't get parts for them in the US. The FS Racing Atom 6s, the Reely Raptor 6s and the FTX DR8 are all the same car but you can only buy the FS Racing version from Banggood. Banggood does not sell any parts for the Atom, Reely will not ship parts to the US and you cannot find FTX parts in the US.

But for anyone interested the cage from the Losi DB Pro fits on the swb Arrma 6s models, you would have to make your own mounts though.

Niice!!
You've got me wondering.. my brother's Lasernut is sitting in my garage ATM.. Gotta take a look at that cage. I think it's a longer wheelbase than the DB Pro?
Not long enough for Mojave but maybe something else?
C'mon ARRMA!! LOL
Would Rockstar EXB be too tacky for a name?

Oh and sorry but Rockstar EXB would be too tacky! haha

It might work on the Kraton/Talion chassis.

I would love a Raider 2wd buggy personally. Give me a sand rail with skinny front tires and paddles on the rear please.

Or skinny BF Goodriches on the front and wides on the rear.

Though a buggy would get my attention too. There's just something about a Kraton or Talion with a buggy cage that still doesn't quite scratch that itch. Not quite sure what it is.

in another thread i said the same thing. a new updated (inboard motor) version of the raider would make a killer sandrail! I personally think the DB8SL could make a cool looking sand rail.

Don't take offense, I think the Lasernut is bada$$!
Just wish it used 1/8 drivetrain..he just bought it def won't be getting the cage off that one anytime soon.

 

[N.Mango]

Haha No offence taken at all! I also agree with you about the drivetrain. I have Tekno backups for WHEN something breaks.

 

[SARRT8]

Do you happen to have a Tallion you could try the Lasernut cage on?

 

[N.Mango]

Though I love the lasernut...the least favorite part of the lasernut is the rounded top. wouldnt make a cool looking sand rail. but never know till someone tries it. imo

Oh boy.. hope he doesn't find out tekno parts fit.. I'll have to lock up the mt410 or he'll be stealing my parts! LOL

I think the width of the kraton or talion is what throws off the "look"?
The lasernut, and the raider look longer and narrower, which is what I like about them asthetically.

My idea of an awesome sand rail would be this but 8s-12s paddles in the back and skinnies up front. One can dream!

 

[Acidsnow]

FTX DR8 on talion/kraton mongrel build works without too much fannyin aboot!

 

[N.Mango]

BADAZZ 4 sure but not quite the sandrail look Im personally thinking of. But again that looks BADAZZ!
