Swapped to a steel spur on mine when I switched motors, forgot to mention that on the other vid comment. Also cut a slot in the chassis under the spur. But I am with you, worst case scenario buy a new one. Keep the broken one as spares. 👊🍻👍

Metal spur gear and cut a hole in the bottom of the chassis to let the dust out near the spur and it will be send worthy. Love what you're doing. Keep it up!

[@IROC-RC]

[@earlmoorhead5555]

👍👍

[@Wizzdom.motorsport]

Thanks Earl! You've gone & done it, you've added fuel to the Traxxas Arrma war! 😂 I don't have any Arrma yet so can't comment. Only my own experience with 2 Slash 4x4 (hcg & lcg chassis), 2 X-maxx V1 6s & v2 8s), an E-revo V1 brushless edition & a Traxxas Maxx. They are amazing fun but not indestructible like any rc if you crash or land bad.I have a few other make & model of RC too. I don't expect things to break if I just drive aggresive but don't bash & crash! "I am brave without talent and crash a lot. One day I will have more tallent!" Keep on bashing! 😊

Between you and RC Car Garage Guy makes it tempting to buy a Big Rock. I will admit you two put your Big Rocks in the most extreme situations. It’s a tough 1/10 scale truck but not an XMaxx killer. They’re totally in two different categories.

Great video man! Do u think this is better than Traxxas Maxx 4s taking the price into account or u consider the extra money for the Maxx is justified? I was thinking about both of them but the price of Maxx...I think it's too much for a 1/10.... but I don't want to feel the big rock is just not enough once I've bought it instead of the Maxx....

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Maxx is cheaper and stronger to fix if it breaks and part support is everywhere 👍👍

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Big rock will wear out as it all plastic in all the joints but is a good starter basher just won’t outlast a traxxas rc car

[@winstonsmith9619]

@@earlmoorhead5555 cheers man. You're not the first one to tell me maybe big rock will be more expensive long term... But I still read people in FB groups telling how the ESC failed in their Maxx and, if you join that to the 270 extra pounds it is... I don't know how you can spend that amount on a big rock which is supposed to be quite tough being the servo the only part of its electronics that easily breaks😅

[@Cmac305]

I think a lot of the Big Rocks durability has to do with its weight. If the Big Rock was the size of the X-Maxx, it probably wouldn't be as durable.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Right 🤔🤔

[@t-dawgl8338]

Yup the good ol' spur gear is gone. Most likely because the motor mount bent. Get the HR metal spur gear and the HR motor mount kit and it'll never happen again.

[@gcmfskg]

I got so frustrated with my Maxx breaking down I got a Big Rock. What a light nimble fun basher. Maxx does not like the Belted Badlands. Broke 3 spur gears, esc fried and servo gone. RC Life

[@keithcerce8445]

I'm lost here, lol, are you for or against the big rock. 80 ft jump ?? Still, there was an issue b4 the jump, it took the jump a couple times. IDK, man, think I need a big rock. Rc guy garage started the sale for me, you may have finished. 😆

[@earlmoorhead5555]

The big rock 🪨 I feel everyone should try it but as for the long term basher the xmaxx will out live the big rock and out perform every big bash out there I feel the big rocks light weight really helps it survive but mine is already showing it’s price tag and falling apart as I feel most will over time 💯💯💯

[@3SonsRC]

RIP Big Rock 🤣😂😎 Na BRCC is a little tank, but I will take an Xmaxx in a wild terrain like that every time. BMX track, Skatepark, Ramping it up, then you can debate🤷 O8S and Xmaxx rule the badlands! Great stuff Earl... Too bad you didn't get to that second pack

[@3SonsRC]

Now if Arrma drops a center diff in this platform and beefs it up, calls it the new 4s....😳😎😎😎🤔👍 That will be VERY interesting, very interested in next get Outcast 4s

[@dayweed4268]

Glad you had good luck with your Big Rock. Mine has been nothing but problems. Worst RC I've had

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Dang it 👀

[@ReadySetRC]

It was holding it's own for a little bit😂

[@monosurge]

I have been giving my Big Rock an unholy ass beating in an actual attempt to break it. So far it has only broken ITSELF. Most of the torque in this drivetrain is transferred to the rear wheels. The drive shaft retaining screws will spin themselves out (loc-tite these!), The Driveshaft u-joint yokes will spread under the torque and pop the joint loose (you can snap these back together), and BOTH of my rear wheels are bent. Yes, the wheels themselves. If you're gonna hook this thing up on pavement a lot, the power is it's own worst enemy. I'm convinced this is the Arrma entry level vehicle to have and the one to judge others by. It's 319 bucks, does over 50 out of the box (measured this), and takes an incredible beating. The v4 should have most of the growing pains of this platform worked out. If you need a 1/10th that goes hard for a low price, this is it.

[@M3dunkman]

The v4 is now 1/7th and absolutely beautiful

[@earlmoorhead5555]

@M3dunkman yes I’ve done several video on it 👀

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Nice RIP 🪦 big rock 🪨

[@justingarlinghouse4402]

That's why I picked the Granite v3 the big rock had me a little skeptical

[@kcmullins6179]

The big rock is a good 3s rig it actually is. But it's composite chassis that's it's issue and it's true weak point I do believe... The Xmaxx is designed to go to war legitimately lol. The big rock wasn't it's more like a Granite on steroids. But I dunno if a big rock box stock can handle a big jump like that. Mine hasn't broke yet thankfully but I don't send it like that either lol. Now I believe the Granite and vorteks would handle a jump like that much better. Reason being is they are shorter wheel base rigs and the outcast 4s all use the same chassis. And a shorter wheel base should be stronger. I say this because on longer wheel base rigs there is more weight towards the front so it takes slightly more torque n HP to wheelie a big rock and kraton 4s and typhon 3s n mega vs a short wheel base. Because of weight.... So when a big rock or kraton 4s hits a big jump there is more stress on the chassis and bulk heads. So if it was big rock vs granite or big rock vs outcast 4s the big rock would actually most likely break first in a jump... The granite is a tough mofo and can take a legitimate beat down though. Now if you want a big rock that can take on a Xmaxx or Mini Maxx which isnt really Mini lol. You should get the center brace and the stainless steel chassis plate they make a couple diff ones. And possibly rpm arms or something like that. Mc2 motor mount kit. Then it should be fine besides the plastic crown and input in the diffs and plastic yolks..

[@benphillips1149]

Kraton v5 is the big rocks competition. That thing is a beast. 1000x better than v4.
