Arrma Kraton 8s VS Traxxas X-Maxx (Comparison)

Comparing the Kr8ton and the xmaxx.

Thank you for not being biased. Thank you for just telling about each truck and how they both are fun.

[@airguns_rc]

I have my XMAXX 8S stock and have launched it time after time on the BMX track, and never had an issue with any of the items that you are discussing. No issues at all. I hope it stays that way. I have also have launched my XMAXX 15 to 20 feet into the air and landing on the hard dirt track. Hope you have better luck with yours. You might want to check out your modifications and see if everything is working in harmony together and not destroying itself.

I've had the same experience. No problems at all with the gears or the speed control. I beat the crap out of it for 6 months, no issues. I installed a max 6 still on factory motor and gears, no issues. I think driving style makes a big difference.

[@shawnpruitt1914]

Stock rear hubs too I bet ?

Yeah my xmaxx has had no issues with it's spur gear.... Been bashing for a few months now.

[@TheRealHoltzy]

I have got to be one of the only X-maxx owners that hasn't had an issue with the electronics at all. Even the dreaded grub screw.. I ran it at least 4 times dry before learning of it being a problem, chucked some blue ZAP threadlock on it and never been as issue in over a year

[@stevintyska2449]

I been running my xmaxx now for over a year still on stock esc, still on pinion and spur. Sometimes its about how you drive it

[@JasonPerrinRCVlogs]

stevin tyska exactly. A lot of people are more aggressive like myself. If you jump a lot and are doing flips and stuff you will break parts. If you enjoy driving around on flat ground with no heavy jumps or anything the truck should last.

I haven't replaced the pro-line raptor body on it yet, but it looks like the top gear hilux. (incidentally, I borrowed an arrma notorious 6s for about a month and broke the lower plastic shock mount part twice - I bash hard!). still, aside from the tires, everything was super cheap to replace!

[@torturedskull]

I have the 8sX Maxx just about from the first week they were available,, I'm still on STOCK pinion and spur, and i beat the hell out of it, I don't run it often, but when I do, It takes a beating and never had any issues.

Same here. I think it’s when people start messing with things they have issues

[@zeegermanhiker5266]

Same here. I’ve had my 8s XMaxx for two years now, all stock, and I bash the shit out of it. Believe it or not, I haven’t broken a single part yet, just the body is starting to look terrible from all the flips and crashes.

[@JAM76ER]

My friend bought an XMAXX because every video he watched myself included said XMaxx is the most durable. I got a Kraton EXB 6s and expected problems according to KZbin. So no problems at all with the Kraton max6 1650kv. XMaxx has had issues every time he goes out! The tires came apart first, the pins that hold the a-arms keep falling out. He doesn’t even drive hard. Thank you for the honest Veiw. By the way the XMaxx is upgraded and hopefully be operating without issues.

[@timt8029]

I have the xmaxx and the new 8s outcast. Love them both and both are very durable so far. I think the electronics on the arrma delivers more power somehow. Especially when you consider how much heavier it is.

[@swhalstead]

I have the original 6s x-Maxx and the 8s version. My 6s x-Maxx has never left me stranded. I’ve destroyed 3 bodies and only had 1 bent shock shaft so far. It’s been amazingly durable.

[@anthonyshelman7961]

Me too

[@Vaterraman]

For the pinion issue, degrease everything, motor shaft, pinion and set screw. Use something called Loctite bearing retainer on the round side of the shaft, where the set screw isn't, and then slide the pinion on, and use regular loctite for the set screw. The bearing retainer is gap filling, and will secure a bearing (or a pinion) to a shaft without anything else holding it on. I used it on a TRex 250 helicopter for the tail shaft bearings, as well as the pinion for the motor of that same heli. The pinion in that heli had no set screw, not flat side. The bearing retainer was the only thing securing the pinion

[@mikeb3427]

This is by far the best, most unbiased and honest comparison vid I’ve seen on these trucks. Thanks. Having said that..... I just got a Kraton 8s after Christmas. The exploded view diagram says the center diff already has 20mill diff fluid.

[@JasonPerrinRCVlogs]

Yeah Arrma changed to 20 million in the center diff. The first release of the v1.5 still had 1 million in them. Changing the center diff to 20 million is no longer a worry.

[@philovervold9179]

I’ve also been running my XMaxx for over six months and broke a bumper bracket or two but my stock gears are still perfect.. and by no means am I easy on it...

[@lanyburnett7966]

I got an X-maxx last year and love that thing. I haven't had any issues with the pinion or spur other that the pinion coming loose a couple of times. I put some lock tight on there and that seemed to fix the issue. I run all the electronics stock and haven't had any major issues. The ESC overheated a couple times, but after I beat the heck out of that truck. I am not easy on that truck. Broke the body the first time out after I jumped it 30+ feet. The thing is built like a tank and I have no complaints as of yet. I may get the Max 6 ESC at some point, but I definitely don't recommend getting anything until the stock components break. It really is a complete waste of money. Also, get the unbreakable body and Proline Badland tires. You will not be disappointed.

[@mymoviereport]

Never had an issue with the xmaxx for stock.

[@michaeltrooth2631]

I went into LHS looking for the Kraton 8S they didn't have any, but had 1 Xmaxx 8S. Since day 1 pinion problems, self righting one time blew the p&s to bits. Blue locate red loctite, don't matter. I was looking at different pinions in the lhs but thought I may run into what you did in the vid. I'm going to burr or slot the shaft and see how it goes.maybe even the arrma style spur grub with the pin going through. Been setting pinions and mesh for 20+ years, never any problems until this XMAXX. Outside of this and a few other issues which I've already knew about and sorted its an amazing rc. Traxxas needs to have Arrma do their gears, and Arrma needs to have Traxxas do their chassis design. Best bet to get both. The Arrma Xmaxx or Traxxas Kraton better yet the the Arrma XO-1:Limitless edition. Great video though very informative glad this popped up in my feed. Sub'd

[@mikerr5150]

I had the problem with pinion on many of my different RC trucks. For the hell of it I decided to load the pinion screw with red thread locker but before putting the set screw into the pinion I let that threadlocker sit for about a half hour to stiffen it up and thicken it up just a little bit I let it dry and then I installed it and it's still on the truck today I did it to every one of my RC vehicles and I haven't had a problem since

[@JasonPerrinRCVlogs]

I am going to give that a try. Thanks for the tip.

[@danielnoname8352]

@@JasonPerrinRCVlogs You can also try some CA glue (super glue). If there will be a need to take it off, just warm it using soldering iron and CA glue lets go and you can take it off. I did such quick fix with my pivot balls which stripped suspension arms. Of course suspension geometry was not setup correctly so when I came back to home I just warmed it and glue let go without any damage to plastic axle carrier or suspension arms.

I got my kraton 8’s about two weeks ago. They now calling it v2 because it have 20 million now in center diff. Now it comes with the new dx3 remote control.

[@DSC1320]

Also helps if you drill a notch in motor shaft to lock in the pinion set screw

[@JRIPFPV]

I read the other day what i think sounds like a good idea for keeping the pinion on. Grind the end of the set screw that bottoms out on the motor shaft flat. Set screws usually have a little rounded end...i guess if you grind it flat it will give you a better bite on the motor shaft. Don’t know if it will help...but it sounded like a solid idea lol.

[@grahamnumber7123]

Better still would be metal weld or a well engineered pinion that has to be heated enough for thermal expansion to just get it over the shaft. Once cooled - solid fit from ALL sides and uniformly. Forgot to add, the bite is only better if the mating surfaces have 1) an increased surface area and 2) more friction from being tighter. Problem is that's more stress on the 1 small area (the grub crew and threaded section of the pinion) For 2) the only method is to tighten more, but for 1 and 2 without being able to re-engineer the pinion, your method is a good idea. By flattening the head (male) into a point of the shaft you make the same shape (a flattened section - female) you increase the contact area of screw and shaft and friction. Your (lol) idea is science and it will help a lot :-) go for it. Because you think, it is a good idea you where capable of coming up with by yourself before you read about it. Just take care not to narrow the shaft by over doing it, you want the minimal material away but flat on flat. Do the start work with a Dremel (I don't have one) for speed but finish with a fine file. The Dremel is a rotary tool and you want as flatter surface as possible and that's why a file is better once you find a way to lock the shaft from spinning! while you work on it. A Dremel is probably the best option when working at 90 degrees to the shaft but you still want to keep it from moving so maybe get the cog on just enough to use the screw to tighten it onto the top of the shaft. Also bear in mind this very fast little cog isn't doing the torque work, it's doing the effort work by number of cycles....later stages of the drive train have the torque issues. My answer was over detailed I guess but sometimes you have to trust logic and not other people. It takes confidence to do stunts and tricks with a large mass that is potential energy moving at a great speed that could actually kill you, so have some faith in tinkering your toys to make them better :-) Engineering and science.

Since changing out the stock servo I can’t keep the XMAXX running. Went through 4 in the past month. The pinion problem happened to me once and never again. Have the worst luck in the world with my EREVO 2.0. Esc, servos, motors, you name it. RC has endless variables.

[@stonejss727]

I am not a Traxxas fan boy at all actually I hate a Traxxas vehicles but the xmaxx is awesome,...Technically you don't have to buy anything for a new X-Maxx 8s, if the speed control does go bad within a month or six months then you can upgrade it at that point, the new tires are absolutely fine as long as you're not driving like an idiot and letting them round out like crazy, so far my pinion and spur have held up and I've had the truck for a month if they do break then I'll upgrade but none of this has to be done before you leave the hobby shop, some people have bad luck absolutely I believe that....but that goes with every ready to run car. The X-Maxx at least looks and drives like a monster truck The arrma would be awesome but it's not a monster truck it's just a big truggy which is why a lot of people aren't interested in it if they actually made a monster truck I'm sure they would do a wonderful job and probably sell a ton.

Guys, have anyone ever count how much does both cars cost if you will not but the RTRs, but just buy the parts which You want and assemble them from the scrach? I am thinking about it as it is hard to sell original parts like TRX ESC or Arrma radio and take some sense money. So maybe instead wasting money for the RTR where a lot of parts must be replaced, it will be better to buy parts which are needed and have sth like "kit-version" with already upgraded parts? :D

[@LargeeeScaleLife]

Daniel noname I have never done the math on that but I have always thought if you were going to get one of these vehicles and then highly modify it you would be better off to just start with a chassis and build it up from there I know you can Bobby chassis the bowl kids and a lot of the parts for the xmaxx Probably for a couple of hundred bucks not being any electronics or wheels and tires but you could probably get a roller going for like 300 bucks

Red locktite is pretty hardcore stuff. I cant believe it worked itself loose. Man that sucks. Weld it.

I got an xmaxx, with hot racing swaybar and love as its body roll less. I also have the set screw backout at full speed one time n it’s was scare as hell as there is no stoping force. Haven’t broke anything except the high speed launch and stop on pavement n broke couple tooth’s on the spur.

Jason, how do You clean Your cars? They look like brand new from the box, never used :D

[@JasonPerrinRCVlogs]

I run a lot on grass. They don’t ever get really dirty unless the grass is wet.

Cool content brother,👍

I sold my x.axx an bought a new version of the kraton 8s an put baja street tires on it way more fun with the kraton 8s

[@morganyates6598]

How do you like those hatchet x tires?

[@a.k.vollmer5200]

Did you really mean 20 million center diff fluid in the Kraton center diff? I thought 1 million was the thickest you could get. Where do you find 20 million weight?

[@JasonPerrinRCVlogs]

Yes, 20 Million. Traxxas and a few other companies make it. The X-maxx has 20 million in their center diff.

I had the same problem with the opinion i used tire glue instead of loctite hasn't come off yet that one yr ago 🙃

[@charlesedinger3063]

If I was a better driver hands down I would go outcast 8s but I already bust up my notorious 6s enough lol so I went xmaxx for now I figure once I can control the xmaxx I should be able to drive the outcast 8s and drive it without worrying about always busting it up I went xmaxx purely because the accessibility of parts for when I do break I have to order almost any part for the arrmas

[@darrylsjodin3962]

Anybody try raising up the body mounts on the Kraton 8s and put a proline raptor body on it?

[@VtreyusV3]

This is a great idea. Get the best of both worlds

[@nicklorenz78]

Just like you check everything else.. its mass produce so every model is not the same but great video 👏

[@Daywalker_Lee]

What about everyone who bent the chassis on the Kraton at launch... I own Traxxas & Arrma vehicles so I'm no hater. I just don't like the idea that you spend $899 on an K8S then you wonder if you should buy an aftermarket chassis just to be safe. Sure hope the upgrades fixed that problem.
