I took Big Chungus (my Xmaxx) and the K8 V2 out for a hard bash. Just kinda wanting to see how they compare since the K8 made absolute mince meat out of my XRT. Chungus is heavily upgraded, and running a Max6 1100kv. The K8 has an upgraded steering servo, and that’s it.
It’s a pretty fair matchup performance-wise, the Xmaxx being considerably lighter, but I came off a jump wrong and broke a knuckle on Chungus.
Totally driver error, so I’m not even mad. But….
Driving the K8, I came down from about 10’, right into a concrete pole, directly on the left front tire, about a foot off the ground. I fully expected carnage. There was none. The only damage was a tire mark on the pole. I’m beside myself. How?? This is a very heavy truck, high rate of speed, concentrated on one tire. No damage. After that I got really bold and really gave it a flogging. I checked it over when I got home. Nothing! This truck is an animal!!
