There's just something about RCs and dogs. Our dog loves chewing on my crawler tires when I run it down the hall.
She has vented a couple of them for me... :p

YES!!!! My dog "honey" loves the tiers always trying to chew them up. And the kid thinks it hilarious. So she continuously drive near the dog for fun. Dam kids🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
Honey looks like a great dog! Shes too funny. Those pics are startin' to make you look like a Traxxas fan boy. :hehe: Whats your next kit gonna be? Just curious if youve thought about it.

The kra8
Not a fan boy. But traxxas has the biggest parts support out there. And the easiest parts to find
 
I was just yankin yo chain. Traxxas is great :)
Oh I know bud no worries. 🤣🤣 I didn't break or BEND anything AIRING out the X at 10-12' high . How many of the arrma parts did you BEND in your back yard? Or going off your curb? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

To many. lol The stock chassis is the biggest shocker to me on the K8. How they thought the stock one was any where near up to the task is beyond me. Its super thin for as big and heavy as this kit is.

Dude isn't it only like 3mm or less thick. And just aluminum. Not even a stronger grade? And it's heavy as Balls right.. That's my hold up on getting the Kra. I'm not a real fan of aluminum. It's expensive and it's breaks and adds weight. Plus isn't the chassis 250$ alone? And the "exb" they only added more aluminum. And the chassis is only one mm thicker. I don't get it.🤦‍♂️🤔😉

Perhaps if you guys install your rc with vacuum cleaner motors, the dogs wouldn't harass the cars. 😸

The EXB one may hold up better. Not sure but THIS is the one I'm using and its thick af and made from 7075 aluminum. I could ride on top of the K8 now and the chassis aint bending lol. That being said the after market chassis aint cheap.

Holly sh*t dude. That's not cheap for a chassis. But it definitely shouldn't bend at all now with aircraft aluminum.And if it does. Then I don't know what.it will be a very said day.😩😩

4.5 to 9mm thick in places. Dont think that thing could bend if it wanted to lol

Oh sweet! That is a very strong and thick chassis. Is it got any more weight then the stock one? And I'm sure if there's a will there's a way. But definitely beefier then stock. Guess you will find out when you finally get a chance to send it.
I think I got to get some heavier wt. Shock oil. Was getting some bad chassis slaps yesterday airing the X out. I got 60wt. With VG racing springs. Drop test was fine. But with that much air. The shocks really didn't like it. Thinking some 80 or higher wt. When I get the new caps and collars for them..

I've already sent it several times with this chassis. It aint budging lol. It is heavier than the stock one but not enough to hurt anything. I probably need to redo shock oils myself on the K8

Isn't that the truth? Our dog is deathly afraid of our little "quiet" Shark sweeper vacuum but attacks the lawn mower.

Oh man my first pit " GUNNER" used to do them same thing. He would bite the front tiers and try to pull on it. And even try to attack the weed Wacker as well. I had to keep him in side when mowing lawn after the first couple time he did that. Crazy dam animals 🐕🤣🤣🤣
