[@JayTeeRC]

been fine and goes with truck

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

Just got an Outcast 8s from the sale! Look forward to playing :). Can already tell you I’m more comfortable running xmaxx around trees etc on trails. Barely clip a tree etc and those big arrmas are done!

[@alphaj9]

Aye Jay if you could only have one between the 3 which would you take. I currently have a 4x4 rustler vxl but looking to add something bigger to bash with. I hate how the rustler body slaps the ground when you jump it.

[@OGRCFanatic]

The more I watch these RC videos, the more I realize how much these cars can really withstand. And when they do break, it’s usually understandable. I mean you gotta admit, the Kraton hit that wet, muddy, small grass burm going nearly 57mph brother. 😂 And you were braking at the time of impact. So the Kratons front end was nose diving on impact 💪 The sheer momentum that thing had to have, weighing 30lbs. I’m impressed all that broke was the pin, and the bumper mount looked cracked too. A lesser RC woulda been mangled. That’s a stubbed big toe for the Kraton 😎

[@kennethmarshall7453]

Awesome trucks and driving. Chassis slap sounds like a gun shot.

[@spare-keymedia6938]

Xmaxx still the king, I have the rtr oc8s and rtr 8s Kraton and although they more powerful, I've had em 6 months and had replace several parts on each. The xmaxx I've had since Feb of last year so almost year and a half and not 1 thing have I had to replace. I swapped a max 6 esc in, left everything else box stock and made a huge difference! I say get an oc and xmaxx both and ull be on cloud 9! Jaytee been pushing that cracked servo for a while now on his xmaxx, and still works haha

Hey man with the outcast if you can remember where you running 29/47 gearing?. Still using same gearing now? ty. I saw your speedrun where you where running 29/47 and getting 55+ I thought that would be 29/39 gearing lol.

I just ordered the Outcast 8s myself. Not the EXB version. I already know M2C shock shafts are pretty much a must, but what else would you recommend?

[@JayTeeRC]

depends on how and where u gonna run it

[@SebastianLong]

@@JayTeeRC I bought this more or less to be my stunt truck like my 3XLE. Skateparks, bike jumps, ripping across rock riddled areas. Obviously I already know about the chassis issues and already plan on getting a 7075 chassis. Basically it comes down to what issues do you feel need to be addressed the most with general use?

[@rikoher8176]

Is that xmaxx a 6s??

[@je2916]

Xmaxx is hands down a better option. Cheap parts and available everywhere. I have ran mine into several trees and rolled it like gymnist without it breaking anything! I recommend the Xmaxx for anyone shopping for a monster truck. Arrma parts prices made me go with Traxxas.

[@elisrcwrld6591]

The part's made you go to traaxaas lol they're parts and prices are absolutely the worst yeah you get it anywhere but who cares? Who wants to spend 50.00 for 2 front shocks smh or 90.00 for a wack ass 5200 Mah lipo at 50c 1 battery??? Lol slash 4x4 is the best vehicle they make the rest is overated in my opinion.

[@JayTeeRC]

nice! congrats

[@FarmerFpv]

I use cheap 99-cent Chinese drill bits to make all my hinge pins. They are cheap but a bit stronger than the stock ones. They also shatter rather than bend which saves your A-arm in hard crashes. You can make 2 hinge pins with one bit. I use the longer concrete drill bits. You will need a dye to put threads on pins depending on the RC car.

[@MikeNaujoks]

I see the Kraton gets broken in the videos almost every time, i think it has durability issues, i have the Xmaxx 8S since 6 months now, all the parts are still the original, i have two arrma sentons for my kids, i almost spent around $400 in parts for the two, i think that says it all about arrma.

[@timsgta]

Dude your nuts and one of one person in a million that says Arrma is less durable than Traxxas lmao, I also have the newest 3S Senton and it's only broke after hitting a concrete wall...

[@jonstevens6371]

@ Alex Keller. I am here to see a comparison of these three because, even though I wish I could afford all three in my stable, right now I can only buy one. I don’t know ….. I have both brands of vehicles. I have a Mojave and a Senton 3SBLX, plus a TRX4 crawler. Love them all. Good engineering in all 3. Have not broken anything on anyone of them yet,and my wife and I have tried, believe me. A part of me REALLY wants the Kraton 8s EXB, but, like you, it appears that most videos have breakage involved. Therefore, my interest has focused more on the Outcast and the XMaxx…..just give me a while to settle down on the $100 price increase on the XMaxx recently for no reason……I would have settled even for a $20 improvement on their speed control to constitute the $100 increase

[@natedawg5150]

I can’t never end a run on a bad jump either 😅 I keep saying just one more just one more good one. But that’s what this hobby is about just having good fun with them.

[@lisa7670]

[@strexttp]

Brilliant rc 🔥👍

[@Addicted_2RC]

That was actually a pretty tough hit look how much dirt was stuck in the front. It just hit on enough of an angle. I really wanted to see all 3 on the same jumps. My front pin exploded the same way it barely bent the arm but broke in 3 spots.

[@JayTeeRC]

Yeah it was a pretty bad hit but I got it fixed. Some of that mob was when I actually went down I thinking too the trench and all that mud came up on it. But I replace the hinge pin and it's all good now :-) I'll try to get them all back out again if I can

[@ma-t6949]

Really enjoyed this video bro. All of em are good, always super genuine. Trucks looked great and even if one is more enjoyable than the other nothing gets better than running all three back to back to back

[@RcInDaHiz]

Sorry for being Johnny-come-lately on this vid, but that servo you talk about replacing on the Traxxas, was it stock and went bad or just stock and performed poorly out the box? In my final stages of selecting my 1/5 scale. THanks man. Keep shreddding the FIreTEAM... GO JOE!!! LOL!

[@JayTeeRC]

It was the stock Servo but I actually still have not replaced it yet. Since this video I've driven my truck several more times. It was actually something else but I do have the upgraded servo that I can put in there I just haven't had a need to. So my xMax's still stock out the box as far as Electronics go

Not sure if the xMaxx is stock but if so, try going with a 22t pinion and 50t spur, it'll have better air control and a bit more speed/torque 👍🏾 maybe not as much power as the bigger motor K8s or O8s but should help and still be stock 👍🏾
