LOL. Not an Arrma problem? Who owns Arrma? They bought the name....it’s Horizons problem. If you think Horizon leaves them alone to do their own thing you’re sorely mistaken. Horizon ruins or ran off many a brand over the years. Deep pockets kept them in the game. But as diverse as they are and Traxxas still runs circles around them. With 98% of their product being just surface rc, say what you want about Traxxas they have a solid business model. I just wish they had more competition.

[@sprc3352]

Unfair that you got a V4 to review as the problem with the radio has been recognized and fixed with the new V5 . This would be like me getting and reviewing an Erevo 1.0 right now ( mine broke every tine I ran it , fixed it , and gone !!! ). I have both Traxxas and Arrmas , and after a year of debating getting the Maxx picked one up very well full knowing about the rolling over problem , which stemmed into the wide kit , which now forces you to get the metal axles and hexes . $ 750 plastic truck now that still didn't perform , body constantly popping off , and the plastic "C" hubs in front jumping off the lower pins . Done and sold it . Got a used V3 Notorious ( Tactic radio ) , put 300k in the center diff , IMO , awesome truck , BLOWS away the Maxx I had ! As you already know , new radio , diff fluid , can't see how u could not like it after that ( still cheaper than $750 ) .

[@marvinheadrick3511]

When I got my Kraton 4s, I would throttle forward and it wouldn’t move so I’d squeeze it fully and it still wouldn’t move, but half a second after I release the trigger it would go full throttle (runaway). It’s dangerous and luckily didn’t hit my kids. It did run uncontrollably out of my driveway into the neighbor’s and almost hit their car full speed. I changed to a flysky gt5 and that fixed that issue. Still not explosive in the same way as my traxxas cars though.

Traxxas is years ahead of Arma in durability and design. Especially the newer models like the XMAXX and MAXX. Your statement is so damn true though!

[@SebastianLong]

Lol. Totally Arrma extremists. Lol. Arrma is ok though, all brands have their typical fail points. There is a fix to everything though. I would get an Arrma. Not many that really catch my eye though. I do like the newer 8s Outcast but I'm not interested in it enough to pull the trigger on it. To be honest though, after having used my first 2 stroke 1/5 scale Losi 5ive T, my interest is going more for gas than electric. I've always been a gas lover vs electric. First in fact was a nitro which I love, but it's a little too loud to run anywhere near other people. 2 strokes are definitely quieter. Anyways though, on one 2s battery I can run for about 3 hours maybe more. My 5T has a 800 cc fuel tank and I get 45 minutes of run time per tank full with about a 1/4 tank left when I refill. 3 tanks later I usually get bored and my lipo is still 3.90+/- volts left. Closest run time for electric is just about 2 hours and that's a crawler. The 5T battery takes about 20-30 minutes to charge where as the crawler battery takes closer to 40 minutes on the same amps for only 2 hours. Most of my electric RCs run 20-30 minutes after a 40 minute charge. The reward for the lipo in the 5T in run time is better than nearly 2 batteries in a crawler. I can run my 5T full throttle, running 1 lipo, at 40 mph for half a day where I can run my crawler, 2 lipos, 5 mph max about the same. Two stroke spoiled me.

[@SebastianLong]

@@curbspank I've actually never broke a stock plastic driveshaft, but have broke 3 MIP shafts. I've got a Traxxas UDR, Summit, Revo 3.3, and the TRX4. The UDR and the Revo are probably the only ones with enough power to break a shaft. I do bend axles in one of my Losi's all the time, but I never broke an axle in that either. My brother has a Traxxas Stampede (the RC that broke the MIP axles) but the axles were replaced when we converted it to Brushless. The point is to upgrade the weaknesses on every RC and know that they ALL have their quirks. I don't care if you've got Traxxas, Losi, Team associated, Arrma, Axial. It doesn't matter. They all break the same parts. I would rather replace an axle shaft than a servo or bell crank though. Or even a whole damn chassis. The whole Arrma/Traxxas RC is better BS is stupid and a waste of breath. Beating a dead horse won't get you anywhere and the ONLY reason for the hobby is to have fun. Arguing what is better isn't the problem, the extremists are the problem.

I suggested that you should have bought the Kraton EXB Rolling Chassis. I purchased mine last Saturday, and I put in all of the Smart Technology, with the 150 Amp ESC, 2050kv motor, the DX5 Rugged Radio, with the 6s 5000 mAh 100C Smart Batteries, and it is a beast. I haven't had any rear diff issues as of yet. I have jumped it several times on the BMX track, and no issues. I am getting great engine temperatures yesterday on the track at 106 degrees. I am still getting a heat sink and cooling fan. I am running a 17 tooth pinion gear. The EXB Kraton comes with all of the durability upgrades. Check this vehicle out along with the typhoon, but the EXB allows you to put in the electronics of your choosing, and it comes with the upgrades. I am happy with my choice. My EXB should be a high enough serial number that even the ARMA Sales Rep told my Hobby Store owner that it shouldn't have any differential issues as that was early on in the manufacturing of the line. Go ahead and change out that radio like everyone has said, and put a Spectrum DX5 in, if you can, or something comparable. I also put in the Savox 7.4 volt, waterproof servo. Good video, and have fun with your new ARMA, get those upgrades taken care of. I also have an E-Revo 2.0 and the 8s XMAXX. I am purchasing the ARMA Felony next.

The V1 and the V2 Outcast were great RC's. Arrma was owned by Hobbico and they came with Tactic radios and receivers. The Tactic TTX300 was amazing! Then Horizon Hobby bought Arrma and put this horrible Spektrum STX2 in the V3, which you have. EVERYONE on the planet complained about this radio, so now the V4 comes with the Spektrum SLT3 which is similar to the Tactic TTX300. A lot of people, including Horizon Hobby think that newest version of the Outcast/Notorious is a V5, but its not. It's a V4. Let me explain. When the first Kraton V1 came out, the Outcast didn't exist. When the kraton V2, came out, then the Outcast/Notorious V1 came out. Making it one version behind the Kraton, Talion, Typhon, and Senton at the time.

It’s fun as hell! You were not using it at its full Potential. Just Blast It off your ramp. Full throttle, full speed. It can take way more abuse then what you were giving it. My Arrmas are tough as hell. I only broke about two parts In the last year. I have run them in the pouring rain, I have geared it up with high speed gearing, gearing that it’s not meant for. And the motor and ESC survived! Arrma is for bashing. It can do stuff that your traxxxs can’t. Replace the radio like we all said. It’s sucks out of the box. But it’s a epic RC. You should also shoe glue the inside of the body. It adds extra Strength.

i got the V5 and I do like it.

Vent your tires. Check mesh between differential input gear and main ring gear. Add snap ring to servo saver spring . Check droop screws often for first few bashes while the suspension breaks in and settles.

[@Warged1981]

I wish you had gotten your mud truck! 😭 It will be interesting to see if you’re able to upgrade this enough to get yourself as excited to drive it as you are your other RCs. What will it take? 🤔

[@jamesgeorge609]

I have a couple of armma,,,,but I prefer my 10 traxxas units,,,,but on the armma I installed the original TACTIC system. Rx/tx....you can get them on line for 60.00 includes the original tactic RX ...this item is readily available on horizon or tower,,,,armma really messed up when they went to spectrum,,,which I’ve always have issues with,,,,change it over to tactic,,,you’ll love it....the rx package is the TTX300. I put these in my 3 armma.....I’m just a traxxas man,,,but with the tactic,life is much better with the armma....great video,,,,love your content 🇺🇸👈 the tactic system is spot on guaranteed.....

Hey! I have seen you with 1/16 E-Revo VXL in E-Revo 2.0 vs Rustler 4x4 VXL video. Why don’t you make a separate video for it? I have it on my list. Thanks for making awesome videos!

[@outsourcedrc]

I'm not sure what you are exactly asking for.

[@adpmrt06]

@@outsourcedrc I am asking for a review video... If you can make, it will be easy for me to choose. Thanks!

@@outsourcedrc Hi! I was asking for a review video on 1/16 E-Revo VXL. I was telling that I had seen that 1/16 E-Revo VXL in the video in which you compared the rustler and big e-revo. I know they are not comparable. Thanks!

@@adpmrt06 Oh. My MERV is pretty old. I think its a bit too old to really review unless they are the exact same. I'll look into it.

[@colinmacdonald6600]

Firstly I loved your rant as it was pure honesty so you don’t need to apologise n secondly i look forward to seeing how it performs after you sort the issues you are finding n thirdly it will be interesting to know if you’ll be using it as regularly as your traxxas love the vids keep up the great work👍👍👍

[@adpmrt06]

Nice! I think I am more excited than you are!! Enjoy your new RC

[@RCMANIAC-YT]

Thats actually really funny, i also am pretty much a traxxas guy as well and just 3 days ago i picked up the same truck

[@ShadeTreeKennyT]

My first Traxxas was a 2WD Stampede also! It replaced my Tamiya Blackfoot, and I was so impressed by the Stampede. It outperformed my Blackfoot by leaps and bounds, there was no comparison.

Awesome video and well put my brahddah! Aloha from Maui,Hawaii

[@zuanverreynne8301]

Hey, you should get the body reinforcement set for your E Revo2.0. It is dirt cheap but makes your body stronger, they also make them for the XMAXX (now stock) and also for the Rustler 4X4 VXL.

[@EXTREMERC416]

The only problem with the center diff fluid if you go too thick it will just wheelie non stop and can get annoying when you want to go fast. Check the shims on the diff ring gear and if you can get hold of a mugen seiki shim kit for the arrmas would be great a lot of videos to how to bulletproof them but thats more for the extreme bashing sessions. The driveshafts would hold fine the worst thing that can happen is that you might bend them. Also a little hack boil the the plastics who are subject to breaking like the arms wing mounts ect proven to make them more flexible because it releases the stress of the molding process. At least thats how my kraton exb arms feel like now they went from rigid hard to rpm like feeling

[@dcarts5616]

I’m partial to neither but side by side I think the Aarma looks better. I love how it just doesn’t matter, and we all have fun.

[@dylanwhite6539]

I run outcast/notorious tires but the LP variant. They grip great. I do have to say I tend to prefer the traxxas designs but I do think arrmas look good, but particularly the big rock crew cab.

[@jasonwright27]

Still think this will be your go to car. It’s durable, fast and fun to bash. Can’t wait for your next video.

[@mnbassintv2849]

Great video I personally am a big traxxas guy and this video definitely doesn't make me want to get an arrma even though those mistakes might be fixed with like $50 I feel if a company just decides to not fix those problems is dumb

[@jeremymiller2340]

I've thought about arrma, however after strong consideration I'll stay with TRAXXAS!! Nice video though brother🇺🇸

Whats the diffrence beween the arrna Nortorius and the arrna Outcaste ?

[@AdamConstantine]

I really like the 90degree smaller pins. So easy to take off and put on. Sometimes you’ll lose one or they pop off but I was ripping the rubber pieces.

[@SebastianLong]

One suggestion you can probably do. Just get yourself a Traxxas receiver and toss it in your Arrma. Might catch flak from the Arrma extremists, but if it improves the drivability, so be it. You are already used to the Traxxas latency so I figure you might as well. I ment you already have the transmitters. Just my input

[@outsourcedrc]

I have a really nice Spektrum I can use. I may just change all the electronics for Traxxas stuff... Just to make the Arrma fanboys happy :)

[@SebastianLong]

@@outsourcedrc lol. Not sure if you seen the new Losi monster truck, but I think it looks pretty dang good. I was never interested in the scale monster trucks, but this new one is definitely one I'm getting. I figure you would like it too so I had to pass on the info. Bad timing as you JUST got a new RC. Usually how it works though.

[@outsourcedrc]

@@SebastianLong That new LMT looks awesome. I may pick one up.

[@izzycors1620]

Your videos are really helpful, I'm new to the rc world, I bought as my first rc a traxxas hoss after watching a bunch of your videos. It would be great if you could show in a video how to change the diff fluid , or what basic upgrades to do on the hoss. I see a lot of people talking about the shocks not being so strong etc. Keep bringing us this content.

[@johngallo7383]

First time here and seeing your vids. Shorten the time to 10m or so. So much added that I FF to the end. Thanks for the vid.👍

I have all the Arrma rc’s the notorious consistently needs upgrades. It’s a getto version of the erevo 2.0

I thought I had bought newest version from local hobby shop as well and it came with the garbage TX2. I got ripped. Buying everything online going forward. Local shop got over on me. 1st Arma for me as well. I’m still pissed.

This also coming from someone who likes traxxas. Some people like trucks that you can fine tune and tinker with to make it perfect. It doesnt take much to fix some of the problems he addresses. But he does make a great point.
