[@HughsReviews]

I got an XMAXX and for someone new to large RC’s that thing is so easy to work on and cheap to maintain. I highly recommend the XMAXX.

[@basketball7677]

Thanks bro

[@V8chump]

The plastic chassis really makes the xmaxx what it is. Reduces weight, which makes a huge difference when bashing, bends to reduce strain on parts and it’s much cheaper to replace if it does break

[@doctajuice]

Best thing about Traxxas is that literally everything is cheap to replace except for the electronics which you want to replace with better value stuff when it does break. Almost every mechanical part is dirt cheap on almost every Traxxas model

[@thehomefront1905]

​@doctajuice I'm just getting into rc and want to buy an xmaxx, what is the best xmaxx, there seems to be different variations?

[@thomaswalton9089]

I would choose a metal chassis over plastic any day

[@SYST3M_OVERIDE]

I don't have any experience with any 8S Arrma vehicles but I do with the Arrma Felony and X Maxx. I've ran my X Maxx into a light pole, had it cartwheel at least 40ft and only thing I damaged was the servo saver. I bent the aluminum chassis on the Felony when I crashed into a car tire at about 40mph. I'll take a plastic chassis over aluminum any day. Plastic flexes and can take abuse.

[@donzokor5312]

agreed on the plastic

[@Adrianpatto]

Overall a lot more punch in the outcast and was put through much more punishment IMO maybe not as cheap when looking for parts as the Xmaxx but if money isn’t a factor I go the outcast 100% for looks, Turning manoeuvrability and out of the box performance! But big thumbs up to the Xmaxx , it’s still a beast and is one of the top choices out there

[@robertsoneil83]

I put nuts on the thread on the camber links so now they can't push in because the nut stops it. I think the nuts are M5. You need 4 cw threaded nuts and 4 ccw threaded nuts. Cheap fix and I've never had a problem after doing that and it's been around 1 year now. M2c also do 7mm shock shafts. I've not tried them yet but when mine break I'll be upgrading to the 7mm. I love the comparison videos guys 👍🏽

[@TheRcKiwis]

Fantastic tip! Thank you for sharing!!🍻

[@lexsteel12]

You guys are absolutely correct, location, location, location. You need a big enough space to run these big RC'S. And when you have to preplan a day in advance for a location that makes you think 2/3 times before logging a heavy RC with you? Then yes, Traxxas X-Maxx would have to be most people's pick. And of course, parts availability and price is a huge factor as well. That being said, I personally have the Kraton 8S EXB. And parts are pretty expensive for it. And they are like attempting to find gold, pretty hard to come by these days.

[@rcplayday7937]

Parts are hard to find? Where do you live. They are readily available off the shelf in every hobby shop in my area

[@lexsteel12]

@@rcplayday7937 Hobby shops are next to none existent in my neck of the woods. We have, probably like two shops in the metro area. I live on the East coast. I usually buy online, not in shops. And while some parts are back in stock, other parts aren't. Is hit and miss when it comes to parts for the Arrma rigs. I recently checked on Tower Hobbies site, and the specific parts I needed are on back order. Like I said, hit and miss.

[@joshherrman3201]

I think you guys nailed it. I have 30+ cars in my collection. I personally like my arrma cars a bit more over the traxxas just because I feel like there is more options with them and they seem to handle better for me. With that being said all of my arrmas are absolute tanks. I think someone should own both!

[@jamesblake1848]

X maxx is very nice except for the damn steering servo 😂

[@ZozzlightsRC]

For me the Xmaxx is the choice because where I live I can get Xmaxx parts easy and not really any shops for Arrma or they not have parts on shelf. I already have my Xmaxx half year ago. I spent 150$ on spares but never used them because nothing broke yet just an ESC fan :D

[@iShootFast]

Great vid - I’ve got both (well, Kraton EXB 1/5). I’m just a basher. Both are great, but I prefer the Xmaxx. Arrma has better electronics and Xmaxx is a better chassis / suspension , and cheaper parts. Xmaxx has better aftermarket support, though both are plentiful. Arrmas chassis bend.. even the EXbs. By the time you brace them up - it makes an already heavier truck a real piggie. Xmaxx plastic chassis is just rugged as heck , especially w/ threaded hinge pins and RPM carriers. I like the stance and the lcg of the Arrmas though. When I take them both neither disappoint and everyone comes home with a smile on their face no matter which they were driving. I wouldn’t give either up, but if I could only get one - Xmaxx by a hair.

[@80KKA]

Do you have any issues with the XMaxx overheating and you have to turn it off? Watched review by Thunder RC and he reckons to go with the Arrma Outcast instead as the motor and electronics is crap on the XMaxx. I was leaning more towards the XMaxx, but now I'm in doubt again.

[@dualtrondreamteam6811]

Cool review guys I’ll stay with my outcast exb 8s it’s a tank and takes crazy hard landings and bashing sessions :) Just wondering did your stock servo give out after a couple of runs I’ve seen on videos the stock servo or the esc or drivetrain give out kind of soon just wondering if that’s true!!!

[@PropPhotographyAZ]

I also heard the xmaxx esc is weak and fails prematurely. I've had my outcast 6s for three years and still haven't broke anything. Suck on that Traxxas.

[@xGR1MxREAPERx]

@@PropPhotographyAZ that was the first batch couple Months of the new 8s when it came out years ago. It was also not super common as it seemed.

Awesome video but I have a question. Where did you get that thing you used to carry that Outcast 8s with I need that ASAP!

[@EJ-74]

I love them both but I'd have to go with the Outcast I feel it's a better racer and I'll m more of a racer Bashers should go with the XMAXX It is a beast very durable Great vid guy's 🔥👍✌️

[@rotten2209]

The Arrma might be quicker but Id bet that the chassis already has a warp in it after all that which is not a problem for the Xmaxx. Outkast looks "cooler" but the Xmaxx is the bash KING!

[@inglewoodROCKY]

Definitely a traxxas fanboy🤣🥱

[@TheRcKiwis]

We did check the chassis and still straight as an arrow! No warping that I can see with the naked eye anyway 😉

[@paulclancy2404]

Nah you have go stupid or be a bad driver and than it will bend , not everyone jumps beyond there skill limits but with xxmax you can and get away with more nose dive landings

[@edwinwelch1272]

did you guys install the high speed in the Xmaxx or is it stock? every arrma i have had had broke. weak shocks and chassis. I have a Maxx and its taken a beating.

[@westtxgreg]

Xmaxx needs at minimum a different esc and spur gear out of the box. Shouldn’t have to do any upgrades on any car costing $1k usd. Not a fan of how easy the body pops off either. Those bigger sized cars are a blast though. Arrma is so heavy though it does break easier on huge air landings and crashes. Running either really hard expect to replace broken parts. I prefer the X-maxx overall especially after some tasty upgrades. Good video guys 👍🏻

[@dandork20]

Never understood why people replace the ESC, what's wrong with the stock one?

[@westtxgreg]

That would be a great video for the RCKiwi’s to do! Esc swap or better yet esc and motor swap (1650kv) direct comparison to a bone stock xmaxx.

[@paulclancy2404]

If you run the shitty traxxas batteries and stock gearing its good , if you hard basher turning your xxmaxx the escs dont last

[@Captinfun101]

I hear that mate, it’s crazy we have to do all these hop ups to get a more reliable rc. And if you go and try for warranty they will just say you abused it to much , but adverse them as bashers and hardcore stunt trucks. I tryed to make my xmaxx as bullet proof as I could without costing basically another one. But I went a bit crazy in the end. 1100 max 6 hw, rpm front and rear hub carriers , rpm arms, rpm hinge pins all round, “the brace” for drive shaft support, traxxas servo upgrade ( which should really be already in it) mod 1.5 30/35pinion gears, motor screws upgrade , few dress up bits not for reliability just looks . Nerf bars, spur gear metal cover, lights, and body shoe goo trick. So hopefully it’s pretty much bomb proof. Good luck with your RC adventures.

[@andrewnielsen4890]

Did you double check the droop setting screws on the Outcast and make sure it didn’t just have too much droop and pull the shock apart? I have a 8S XMAXX and a 6S Outcast which so far I like my XMAXX more.

[@joseCalderon1976]

Out of the box Xmaxx 8s is more durable than the K8S for sure. After I've modified my Outcast 8s with EXB parts and M2C stuff it gets close, and it does take a beating well. Even 30ft jumps are fine. But If I land wrong, mostly the Xmaxx will drive away before the Outcast 8s. I did have to beef up my X-Maxx too because I run 1/5 electronics on mine. Great comparison! Get yourself some EXB Outcast 8s shocks. Way stronger and bigger shock rod ends 💪👍

[@ar12.]

Dropped 2.5k au all up recently for x-maxx can’t wait to get it should be a good upgrade from my rustler 4x4 vxl.

[@restinpiecesrc5528]

Joe, i think youre right, the xmaxx through the video did look really sluggish especially compared to the outcast

[@jasontaylor6779]

Great Vid. Looove my XMaxx and my mate loves his Arrma. Actually I love them both. They are both really awesome fun rigs. I really think the broken shock was bad luck. The landing looked ok. I think the thing that annoys me the most with the XMaxx is Steering servo and the fact the body pops off ALL the time in a stack. I only recently discovered you guys My next car will be a Felony (Some thanks to you two) Cheers from Brisbane

[@TheRcKiwis]

Yes, a bit of bad luck.. I also think it may have somthing to do with the fact the camber on that side was way off? But an easy repair! The felony is loads of fun! Just make sure you have the space to run it! 😅🍻

[@V8chump]

If you reinforce your xmaxx body it shouldn’t come off anymore, new bodies don’t have the issue so much but once the body starts to crack and bend more during crashes easily they’ll start to pop off, my e revo body just recently started doing it after getting a bunch of rips 😅🥲

[@gartsworld-RC]

Outcast all day.. the xmaxx is way to bouncy and it's looks to much on a toy. But sure it's the most durable truck. But both trucks are badass and you get a smile from both of them.

[@freddieparrydrums]

Hi guys. Should I get the Kraton 8S or 6S? Still cannot decide. I have enough money for the 8S but it will be the biggest RC apart from my TRX-6. Am I ready for it? Thanks 👍

[@rotten2209]

Get the 6s and use the rest of the money for new shocks/shocks shafts, a new chassis(because they bend like cardboard) and steering components. These will all break after 2-3 decent bash sessions. You'd need nothing for a while with an Xmaxx. This has been proven time and time again.

[@TheRcKiwis]

That's a tough one! If you have the space to store and to run the 1/5 scale then go hard! Otherwise another great choice is the 1/8 scale kraton EXB which is one of my favourites atm! 🍻

[@freddieparrydrums]

@@TheRcKiwis Thank you man, I think I’ve decided on the 6S EXB with 1650 Max6 combo because it’s still pretty big and big enough to handle most terrain and it’s a decent basher. Just in general it’s just the wiser choice for me 👍

thanks for the great review. I love driving rc in rain/water. Makes it so much fun sliding around. I don't have outcast 8s but I would think it would be easier to break compared to exb verison. Now for xmaxx and owning xmaxx for few days. its a beast. its big it feels like a monster truck and drives over anything. I love everything about xmaxx. did i say its big? haha carrying this thing is a workout (i'm start carrying a rope to pull it around haha) and barely fits in my mustang trunk. If i had to pick outcast 8s vs xmaxx for the price, xmaxx hands down! clipless body is just epicness (i hate clips i lose them all the time and the clip mounts break off, its annoying lol) and xmaxx super ez to work on. I would stay away from using xmaxx self righting imo. it tossed my pinon gear right out. haha but if you want to save some money and want smaller 1/8 scales instead. 6s outcast exb!. :D i hope yall get kyosho usa 1 soon! we would love a review! :D I'm look forward to yall rugged remote review.

Where i run my larger scale RCs, the Outcast was my pick. It hasnt been very reliable for me though. Most recent problem was i exploded the rear diff internals and wont be till early next year before i can get the necessary parts (aside from ordering a complete diff) to fix it. By then it will be to cold to venture out. I still have many others in the meantime i can run so it isnt a loss. Ive only had one run with my outcast since i bought it where i ran down two sets of batteries without a breakage. Couple of the breaks were my fault, but a majority was just bad engineering or parts. The X-Maxx is just too top heavy for my liking and i dont do many skateparks, in fact, havent been to one at all with any of my RCs. Skateparks would probably be a lot easier on my RCs than where i use them though, but nearest one is more than 40 minutes from me, and that one isnt worth my time to go to.

Outcast is more of a mid grade machine , where xxmaxx more of a high tech toy. I'd say wrenches highly skilled rc drivers prefer 08s while all others prefer xxmaxx. Better for skate parks more forgiving for bad landings and less experience drivers. Also easier to get parts and probably more versatile, I don't own xxmaxx yet, I do like that its quiet , just modified you can easily spend 1500 and we get so much more with 5th scale for that budget

Another great video! I prefer the look of the Outcast, but the durability of the XMax is hard to ignore. I prefer a 6S size car. Are Traxxas RCs more durable across the board or is just with the XMax?

[@V8chump]

I’d say their 8s and 6s line cars are really good (fucking love my e revo 2.0 things bulletproof) but If you go 3s definitely go arrma, those little 3s cars are beasts compared to traxxas’ smaller cars

[@rotten2209]

I'd say that the Xmaxx is in a league of its own. Traxxas' are more durable across the board once driveshafts,shocks and steering components are upgraded. The Arrma 3s vehicles have a plastic composite chassis instead of metal that the 6 & 8s models use. The metal chassis bend SO easy that I'll never own one.

[@V8chump]

@@rotten2209 exactly why the revo 2.0 is more durable than the arrma 6s line (especially the Kraton, its arrma equivalent) its also why the arrmas 3s line is so durable. Plastic chassis > heavy, expensive, and bendable aluminum chassis all day.

In a word, X-MAXX !!! I'm not saying there's no "comparison"...with all things considered (durability, parts availability, power, speed, 'fun factor', etc), the X-MAXX wins. That's not to say the X-MAXX doesn't need certain upgrades out-of-the-box...it does (especially the servo)...but, pound-for-pound, the X-MAXX is the better/smarter purchase.

Thank you so much 😀

X maxx is way tougher, besides that, basically the same. Rpm arms on your arrma and you'll be close to stock xmaxx durability. Besides that, its just styling.
