Arrma Big Rock V3 VS Traxxas Maxx 4s! - Extreme Durability Test

[@jamielawlor2394]

Just picked up a Maxx. It is such a fun truck to drive. Will be watching your wide max install vid again if I attempt it. Keep up the good work. Cheers!

[@MatthewSimm]

Nice bro! Glad you like it, the wide max kit is a must bro if you don't want it rolling as much haha

[@stevegabriel6982]

I think everyone should have both in their collection. Two great RCs.

[@MatthewSimm]

Totally agree 😀

[@Lucas-Family]

I am looking at getting Big Rock for that very reason.

[@mjones2970]

I like them both but some one said the big rock isn’t really durable is that true. I was going to get big rock until I heard that and now I’m confused between what car I should get. The max seems good but it’s 200 better and there’s not much difference. Can you give some advice and your opinion

[@RandalSaint]

Awesome vid! Lotsa peeps were waiting for this one from ya, and you crushed it!! Great side by side comparisons! The Maxx needs the wide kit to compare, but damn it is a badazz! Love my big rock, cheaper decision that's for sure. Thanks for the hard work Matt!! Appreciate you!

[@MatthewSimm]

Hey Thanks a million dude :) i know it took some time but i had breakages and rain haha, glad you liked it, looking forward to doing more, maybe a slash and senton next ;)

[@taucalm]

I think it's cheaper because breaks easier. Maxx seems a lotta more duraable.

[@Oddish08]

Hey the arm that you broke.. do you now have to buy an entire widemaxx kit? or can u get a single wide (green) a-arm? Awesome vid! What state u in?

[@MatthewSimm]

Hey mate! I had to order a two pack of green arms, unfortunately I had to buy from Amazon (America) as I couldn't find any here 🤔 and I'm in Victoria 😀

[@brianreardon7700]

Got back into rc a few years ago at 48 and love love love this hobby again.. when I was a kid I had lots of Tamiya’s I have the big rock.. love this truck!!!!

[@CentralVAracer]

I’ve owned both and liked them both equally. Super durable and fast and both companies have the best customer support you can find. Great video as usual. A+

[@MatthewSimm]

Agreed dude, they are both amazing! Thanks 😀

[@shaunescarlett.1]

Hey Mathew, You have put a cracking video together here dude, but now you have cost me a fist full of money man ! Let me explain in detail ...... I have been into RC for 42 years now, Yes I’m old school at 51 years old but i still love the hobby to the MAXX ....... mmmmmm well yes I ordered that too the Traxxas Maxx !!! But hey why stop there, I also ordered the Bluetooth module, lighting kit & wide Maxx kit. So that is all now on route, i am so lucky to have such a understanding wife. My collection of RC cars consist of the Traxxas X-Maxx 8s, & the older 6s model..... Arrma Mojave EXB .....GMade Komodo,GS02 ...... Traxxas TRX-4 Sport ...... Traxxas Slash 4x4 ultimate ....... HPi Baja petrol 1/5th buggy with a host of billet alloy extras....... & a trio of Tamiya recent releases which are still awaiting the build. That’s where it all started for me with Tamiya ! How RC has developed since the late 70s Anyway back to today, thank you again you again for your comparison video & keep up the great work my friend & most of all ....Stay Safe ! P.S. You owe me £800 Ha Ha

[@MatthewSimm]

Hey Shaun! Sounds like you have a nice collection 😀 my apologies for costing you money 🤣 I do it to myself too haha. Like you I started out at 9 years old, I got into racing, stopped has a teenager, now I'm 25 and getting back into it over the last couple of years. Thanks for watching dude, appreciate it 😀

[@brentnevius2849]

At 50, my first was a Tamiya frog. I have a collection also, have you found anything that is better than the Mojave 4s? It is my favorite by far because it always does exactly what I ask of it.

[@theocy1986]

I have the maxx v2 and i love it. It is just so good. I own a rustler vxl 4x4, should i get a big rock as well? I am torn between a big rock, a granite or a typhoon.

[@rcuintheshed6981]

Awww yer been waiting for this that was seriously a great head to head things I didn't know the Maxx had didn't realise how much bigger it is vids like that help decide if a choice is worth the extra money well done keep these up 👊👍💯

[@MatthewSimm]

Cheers dude, glad you liked it, I tried my best to be fair while covering alot of different stuff

[@rcuintheshed6981]

The extra features was good didn't know the maxx had all that

[@_N4VE_]

thanks for this great video bro! gave me a good idea of how much abuse the big rock can take since I ordered one yesterday 👍🏽 i’m glad it’s just a factory gear problem and nothing major broke. what would cause the gear to slip out? the hard landings?

[@feutastisch]

Both cars are great! But I love the Big Rock :) So I ordered it 😊🔥👊

[@MatthewSimm]

It's a beast dude! I think the gear stripped because I could have possibly not put the latch on properly so the motor module came lose, but I'm not 100% I'm going to fix it and try again 😀

[@feutastisch]

@@MatthewSimm yeah I think I will agree with you 🔥🙏It will be a great car! I also compared the new Vorteks with the big rock on my RC YT channel, because I was thinking about to buy the Vorteks instead of the big rock. But I didn’t. More expensive and I like the Design of the big rock more! Your channel is very nice! I enjoyed watching 👍🙏🔥

[@feutastisch]

@@MatthewSimm what do you think about the new Vorteks?

[@MatthewSimm]

Thanks dude, ill check out your channel soon 😀 Vorteks vs bigrock, well, I think they are both as good as each other, the vorteks has metal diff gears and added body protection, but you can add that to your Big rock, the vorteks is slightly shorter so it should flip better

[@feutastisch]

@@MatthewSimm yeah I agree. And the Vorteks is faster. But I think the big rock bashes better than the Vorteks 🔥

[@junjunmulleda5467]

I have the Maxx v2. It is a beast! I will take the durability of it over any other quibbling points vs any other truck. You guys should do a overall cost of operation cost of stock cars when doing a head to head. Initial cost isn’t everything. Cost of replacement parts and availability should also be considered. Keep up the great content. 🤟

[@reggiemoore21]

Tougher than a mojave?

[@texttwenty-nine1627]

Right? I've made mistakes with my Maxx v2. Ran into trees, benches, rocks, poles, and gnarly jumps at full speed on 3s. Only replaced an axel bearing and part of a drive shaft on it all summer. The faulty bearing litterly cut through the end of the driveshaft and the wheel fell off. Lol The thing is just built different.

Nice dude! Mine is currently waiting for a new motor because I broke the last one, my fault, I wasn't even driving hahaja

[@doubleaaaron]

Which motor brand is in the big rock Matthew? When mine went bad I was given a blx same spec motor. I never speed tested it so idk if it's slower or not, but it seems the stock motor was pretty strong.

[@MatthewSimm]

Hey what's up dude! I hope you are loving the hobby, feel free to ask any questions you might have, I'm happy to help. If you do plan to send it, expect it to break and that way, you'll never be disappointed haha

Holds together well but can't bring it in the house....it smells like hell...lol Been searching for belted street tires. Any suggestions for the widemaxx? I think they call it Maxx V2 So far I think Scorpion Belted Monster Truck Tires will fit, but afraid arms will catch inside the rim.

My Favourite radio is the rc6gs but for value for money, go with a dumbo radio 😀 I don't know too much about binding radios, I might learn and do a video on it. Thank for watching dude, glad you enjoyed it 😀

[@Funcentric]

Thanks for the video. The Traxxas has the flipless body, but comes at 3x the cost of a replacement Arrma body. I do like the clip battery on the Traxxas, but I guess it limits the size of the batteries too. You got 47mph on the Big Rock stock motor on grass or on pavement? I really like your editing format by the way. Thanks for the comparison. I was thinking of getting the Traxxas Maxx too, but it seems so similar to the Traxxas Max as far as type of car. Thinking of maybe I should go for a different scale care or style. I think the Traxxas looks better too. I have the Big Rock and it's my only serious offroad RC but the color scheme is so boring. In your attempt to break the Maxx, your driving is too good! Haha. Does the Big Rock have lipo cuttoff too? Is it adjustable on the ESC?

[@MatthewSimm]

Hey thanks for watching dude 😀 I got 47mph on the grass on day one. Yeah dude, It has lipo cutoff but I'm not too sure if it's adjustable hmm

[@joseCalderon1976]

The Max 4s is pretty durable. I had one. But sold it since I'm into mostly Giant RC vehicles. Even though I have a Granite V3 BLX and a Kaiju as well. Thanks for the video! You did add the widemaxx kit and I also added that plus the steel drive shafts. That made my max reach almost $800! I'm going to be honest and say that I felt it was too much money for such a small truck. I even had to buy a max 8 esc because the stock ESC burned out on me. So yeah. I did have to add an M2C expensive motor mount to the V3 Granite BLX (which is pretty much the same as the big rock) since the stock motor mount bends on big jumps and messes up the gears and that part that you messed up on this video.

[@MatthewSimm]

Yeah I do agree dude, I think it might be a bit much for the size, but definitely a great rc car. I do need to get one of those mounts because mine bent (I bent it back) so that's probably why it broke that little shaft. Thanks for watching dude 😀

[@joseCalderon1976]

@@MatthewSimm Yup, that shaft will break again with that flimsy motor mount. I know the M2C mount is like $80 but it's worth it.

@@MatthewSimm The lower control arms do break with time. I would replace them with RPM arms.

I have a maxx,summit 1/16, ford mustang and ford gt vxl 4-tec 2.0's and feel as if traxxas has a better medium-small scale selection while arma has the better large scale selection otherwise you can't go wrong with either brand.

[@wthigo77]

You would have to assume that a $500 rc just might be built a little better than a $300 one. How about a $500 arrma vs a $500 traxxas. Why was the motor changed in the arrma?

[@MatthewSimm]

The motor was changed because the stock one blew up, I changed it to be the same performance as stock. I'll definitely do more comparisons, this was just a bit of fun. Imo, I think it showed you can get a really good rc car and don't have to spend 500

Haha thanks dude 😀 I love both but the maxx is a lot easier than the xmaxx (carrying, using two batteries etc..)

[@bigandcoolrcschool294]

AWESOME! i cant believe that the MAXX took all that abuse! I was sure it would have broken on those jumps! But it didn't! AWESOME video! I might get a MAXX. One day..... haha

[@MatthewSimm]

It's truly a beast! I love it, I'm surprised too, it's that only time I've done anything like that with it lol

[@gasolinediesel972]

The maxx is by far the toughest out of the box rc car on the market. I honestly prefer it over the E-revo 2.0, UDR, and X-maxx. The maxx is the only rc car that you'll ever need.

[@doubleaaaron]

@@gasolinediesel972 I agree with that. The maxx is a really great rc car. If I had to own one, it would be the maxx for sure. For this who dont know, it's actually hard to break unlike other rc's that break every other day.

[@bigandcoolrcschool294]

@Riff Raff's RC I 100% agree. The big rock is great value for money, and the maxx should come stock with the widemaxx kit pre installed, or in the little baggy

[@philthyco1]

The Maxx is not stock but fun video my friend

[@MatthewSimm]

Thanks dude and yeah it's not but I did try and mention how it is stock 😀 thanks for watching mate!

[@kevinbaker7154]

Traxxas Hoss vs. Big Rock seems like a more reasonable comparison.

[@coolhawk2003]

Soccer field with black lines haha not making in easy on the ref. Dark day ? Game goes on late. Funny

[@ivydome]

What actually ended up breaking on the big rock? Stripped diff or spur?? Maxx tough 😁

[@MatthewSimm]

Gear from the spur to the rear diff

@@MatthewSimm Hey Matt check out the M2C motor mount and chassis brace... Your plastic will last many times longer... That stock mount will bend on Ya... Chew your spurs for lunch!!!

[@MatthewSimm]

Yeah I've seen those, I should really get one!

[@rgr4475]

And how quickly those prices have changed....

[@MatthewSimm]

Yeah! 😞

[@sickboom7474]

i would say the big rock is more like a hoss and mass is like the outcast

[@MatthewSimm]

Yeah probably but I still think it's good to compare some cheaper cars to more expensive cars 😀

[@sickboom7474]

@@MatthewSimm that too. either way both are great! i love my big rock and i want the maxx!

[@simonhall5694]

Think it’s not fair to take the maxx up with big rock , seems like hoss would be more fair but great video

[@chriscarlton-gm4hr]

You get what you pay for, you buy cheap you buy twice, me and friend have V2 maxxes after selling our arrma outkasts and Mojave , arrma’s we’re always broke maxx’s just keep taking pounding after pounding
