[@Storyracing387]

I, along with some other people, am not a brand snob. Some brands do stuff better then others. Some people have a loyalty to a certain brand. That's fine, whatever. But come on, y'all would think after so many years, Mark knows what he's talking about. And you would think it's a good thing he doesn't just stick to one brand. As he said, yes Traxxas is a short drive from his house! If I lived that close, I'd be there all the time too!! If there was giant (insert brand name here) store near your house, you'd be there too. Keep doing what you're doing Mark!! 🤘 Don't worry about folks complaining!

[@philiplibby4464]

So true

[@galph8035]

No matter how heated these discussions can get we all need to understand that we are very fortunate to be be able to even have them! The fact that Arrma joined the race and took a company behemoth like Traxxas head on is ultimately beneficial to EVERYONE. Competitors like Traxxas and Arrma or Tekno and TLR will always drive each other further down the innovation line.

[@alb9022]

companies don't drive each other forward if they want to get bitchy over "patents" and sue each other over money, like the Traxxas v Arrma incident over the Forza/Nero "patented" inboard/cantilever shock configuration

[@jordansrc8483]

Ever since I got my hands on my Kraton EXB I thought it looked and handled more like a truggie now I understand why. Thanks Mark for the clarification👏👍

[@TruggyDude]

I've been in this hobby since 86. I get what you're saying about the MT class. I started out a Traxxas guy- but for me, I switched to Arrma when the RTR price point was basically cheaper than a new E-Revo. I got the same ground clearance, power and size and Arrma was more durable. That being said, I don't know why everyone got so reved up over your review. That was about the most impartial vent from a racer who is usually a Traxxas guy. Hats off to you man.

[@javi8431]

I feel that traxxas is weak it does break lot easier if you have other brands arrma is better made you get your dollar worth

[@jessjoshwyatt3571]

Thank for clearing that up. Never knew that about the diff above and below chassis. I wouldn't call anything with a spoiler a monster truck but that's just me. Good video👊

[@robr3]

Your channel, your choice!! Great content, Mark!

[@SoulciaLight]

💯

[@Livlifetaistdeth]

I have over 60 rc's, Traxxas, Arrma, Losi etc. When people walk in to my garage the first question they have, after questioning my sanity, is always "which one is your favorite?" My answer "my next one." Every rc is Rad!

[@MarkSantaMaria]

Great answer!

[@marcsangiuliano4273]

@@MarkSantaMaria right!

[@pooljunki1]

hell yeah man

[@chrisalan3699]

I have nothing but Armma 😆.But If I had that Traxxas store down the road, I feel things might be different 😛

[@Ezduztube]

I have always been a Traxxas person since the 90’s but Arrma does have some impressive rc cars. I have the Vendetta pretty nice Rc car. Both brands are good.👍🏻

[@jeramylambrose1598]

Another awesome video. Always look forward to the videos. People will always complain. Rc racing and bashing/climbing is enjoyable. We as a rc community should stick together and be positive. This hobby is amazing can't see myself doing anything else. Even after 20 years of doing this I still get excited and love getting a new car. Who doesn't love a new car, truck,plane,boat. Keep being awesome and keep killing it with the videos

[@johnlincoln4616]

Totally fair points, I built my exb with rtr spektrum electronics and it was underwhelming. Did some tuning like what was suggested in the last video and it’s an animal now. Also for anyone to know you’re racing background and think you don’t know about oil weights or punch settings is just silly.

[@poorboytrucking1]

Just keep doing what your doing with the reviews. 95 percent of these people haven't been racing or into rc since the 80s and 90s. They buy a few rc's and overnight they're experts. I seriously have to click off most review videos because in the first minute I can tell they don't have a clue what they are talking about. A few of them have allot of subscribers to which is pretty sad because they are just spreading misleading information and opinions. Whew I'm done ranting and venting to lol carry on with the rc goodness 🤣

[@charlescrawford6157]

These are grown-ups that play with toys. Of course they are going to act like children. Like what you want, drive what you want, buy what you want. Have fun or just piss off.

[@bigtrev71]

Great job. As person who just got into the hobby like a year or two ago, not knowing all the ins and outs of the hobby. It is good to get the comparisons and insight you provide as a new person getting into the hobby. Just entering you will never know all the tricks to improve and work on them. You do a great job, keep it up. Besides got my first ERevo 2.0 watching your video on it awhile back..

[@dstjamesrc6395]

Too bad we can’t have a Kevin Talbot cameo as “Arrma Fanboy”. 🤣 I have all Traxxas so far, but my eye is locked on the Outcast EXB RTR right now.

[@calebg7460]

Kraton is a truggy I run traxxas 5375r race tires and a white wing and a jconcepts body on it looks like an amazing big truggy and race it at neighborhood races I’m the Kraton king there

[@lonelyslider5430]

I am soooo offended that you would even upload this videos my feelings are soo hurt totally unsubscribed......... lmfao jk jk man i really do not know why people feel the need to say hateful things. Dont listen to them mark you got plenty of loyal and sane fans like me.

[@Jesus-ql1pt]

When I was growing up, monstertruck racing was clodbusters and kyosho usa-1

[@rpmspeedyblue]

This is why I like watching your channel! Your comments are honest from what you experienced wrenching on a rc. I don’t own a traxas but like your channel because your info on rc’s are from your hands on knowledge and experience wrenching and modifying. Keep up your awesome work informing us on your rc experiences and knowledge. 👍👍

[@davidshipman4555]

🤣 I was waiting for this video after reading all those comments. I was thinking to myself, come on man you really think Mark don't know this lol. I've always appreciated the out of the box testing because you're exactly right, not everyone is going to know how things could be set up to make them run the best they can and the majority will just start driving as is and never know any better.

[@Ronnaferd]

Revo is such a fun car to drive! However, you also have to enjoy fixing things when it breaks. I love driving my E-Revo 2.0....I can't decide on which arrma I NEED to get 😆

[@andjusticeforall8813]

It’s my favourite vehicle the 2.0 ERevo, I purchased a second one used and dedicated it for street use I also have a outcast v2 6s Personally the fact you already own a 2.0 ERevo I’d get an outcast, it’s so much fun even for small backyards, climbing fences flipping etc, just run it on 4s Just thoroughly educate yourself regarding differential shimming etc if you haven’t already No rc is perfect besides Tekno MT410 and most require further money spent on them, servos, ally buckles braces etc I have 16 vehicles, some are my kids being grave diggers-stampede and recently bought them the latest hpi jumpshot mt flux which for anyone wondering is a great little overpowered machine 😂 I have the vxl rustler 4x4, big rock v3 etc but the 2.0 ERevo just got me instantly, I love it’s tidy clever layout, quick release body and the drivetrain is solid The latest exb outcast 6s looks amazing I think if I was shopping for 1/5 I’d go with the outcast 8s exb over the xmaxx Anyways sorry I rant on, try a outcast mate you won’t regret it 👍🏻

[@HaulinAzzzovs]

Thoughts from a recent returner to the hobby… I spent 30 years away from rc cars. Got back into it about 3 months ago, so I absolutely prefer to know what to expect “straight outta the box” with any car, without any mods to it. Sure, I want to know what I can do it as well, but that’s what upgrade tutorials & youtube playlists are for. Unboxings need to be a box stock, newbie friendly review video. That greatly improves the odds that they make an informed purchase regarding their goals for any rc. Each local hobby shop in my area takes more than an hour, just to get to, so for me, a single lhs trip kills an afternoon. If I had *ANY* brand with a physical location “just down the street”, 90% of my rc’s would be from that manufacturer. Lastly, you’re one of my favorite rc channels on youtube. Keep doin’ what you do. A lot has changed since back in the day when my 80’s Tamiya was state of the art. I’ve learned a ton from your vids and I really appreciate it. 👍

[@stephenb9940]

Good job Mark, guys that are harassing you are still wetting the bed. Keep going dude.

[@rogerchevelle8543]

Did not know that the difference was where the differentials were placed, Good to know. I always thought of a Monster Truck as a pick up Truck style body.

[@drunkinmaster1]

The Kraton is basically a Team Durango truggy thats been beefed up.

[@soulrebelrc6341]

I thought the diffs being below the chassis was a smart design to seal up the center diff, driveshaft etc. I didn't realize it was for classification.

[@Jonathan-bk7gs]

Great video Mark. I like both Arrma and Traxxas. They're both great brands. I'm a RC fan boy. BTW, rotate your motor a quarter turn to the left and your wires will sit and look a lot cleaner. That's how the motor is mounted on the Arrma Kraton RTR.

[@f687sNFM]

its very unfair to compare the exb with the normal erevo, given the exb is already upgraded from the box. and i have the exb myself, and i dont have a erevo. it would be better to compare a normal kraton and a normal erevo for a more accurate review

[@mr.davidson3314]

Well I got to say my kraton v5 does backflips with ease and it’s hard to keep from doing wheelies

[@backyardr.c.channel4732]

Great job Mark! I love both Arrma and Traxxas. Traxxas is without a doubt king of part support that alone means a lot to us guys that have been in the hobby since 1990's. As far as comparing the 2 it is a shame you are not able to compare the revo to the nero that Arrma once sold! Both brands are awesome and i will continue to purchase both. It would be nice to see Arrma be able to bring back the Nero!

[@nunu4692]

he wont😂😂😂

[@joeyfiend7864]

Yes I agree. You can't call a kraton a monster truck. What do ppl picture in their head when you think of a monster truck?? Losi lmt... axial smt....redcat ground pounder

[@Mason-Dain]

Traxxas all day! Arrmas same cars plot form just different names and body

[@astridsactionrc545]

Most of my rc friends bash on brands like Traxxas and Castle and Redcat, etc. I don’t see the point. I own rc from dozens of different brands, including Walmart toys. I have fun with them all.

[@Seb726Laviolette]

You should try the notorious/outcast.. i have one and it wheelies and backflips way too easy if anything lollll

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Nice video Mark. Lovin the honesty. I have several brands in my rc collection, including Wl toys and ftx. Love em all. Rc's are so much fun. Thanks for sharing. John.

[@dcgreen5305]

Thanks for that info, never heard anybody say that especially with the kraton vs xmaxx deal. Brand loyalty is really really dumb.

[@RCPropaganda]

The Revo is fun but it is an older model these days. The Kraton is on it's 5th version and now it finally is super dope with out a bunch of mods. I sold me Revo and focused on my Kraton's. Still if I had the money would pick a Revo up because it is a fun truck when you do not push it to the limits.

[@gregmojher4912]

Slap that knowledge on them Mark!!!

[@jasonadams7991]

I don't know why some are so sensitive about RC cars lol. Keep doing your thing love your videos!! I have both Traxxas and Arrma vehicles and I enjoy both brands, they both make good, fun RCs.

[@drakeremillard6025]

I’m just asking. Do you think it your be more fair is you compared it to the Kraton 6s RTR?

[@randyseaver8319]

Keep up the great work mark and forget about the haters! It' was just a quick preview! I got it! 👍👍😎👽🤙

[@kashmurray1199]

[@hgthehulk2235]

Awesome video you do a great job keep up the good work!!! God bless !!!

[@CCxRC]

You should vent more often. It was a very positive vent. 👍

[@jimcarroll9733]

dont change what youre doing i love your honesty

[@jakethole]

Hey Mark can you talk to Traxxas for me and tell them that we need a TRX4 C10 pick up with a clip less body like on the new bronco. Also a Tundra would be awesome or a Tacoma, a Ram give us some licensed pickups on the TRX-4 platform. Just wanted to vent also.

[@MarkSantaMaria]

Haha… i would buy every colored tundra if they came out with one with the clipless body!

[@bobbyblaze3081]

Revo holds the records of wins til this day in monster class, I wish the class come back, monster class was tough.

[@MarkSantaMaria]

Super tough! It was a spectator favorite though! I loved monster truck!

[@Megasty15]

Both platforms have an insane amount of upgrades & aftermarket support. Most of it is unneeded if you lightly bash them. BUT, more metal will weigh the trucks down, effecting both performance & handling. Even the toughest 7075 parts can bend & break under enough stress. For the Kraton, I added a HD wing mount, aluminum bulkheads, center diff case, center brace holders, hinge pin holders, & hubs. For the E-Revo, I did chassis braces, tie rods/ends, RPM arms, & hubs. Neither have RTR electronics. Both have max8 equivalent systems. The most important thing for the Kraton is keeping the chassis from bending. For the E-revo, it's keeping the bulkheads from flexing/breaking & keeping debris out of them.

[@buffalodiehard]

Keep in mind this man was a professional racer driving everything but Traxxas when he started out lol

[@SoulciaLight]

Exactly!!!! 😁😁

I would like to see you get the primal RC monster truck 😁

[@philthyco1]

What stock Kraton can't backflip and wheelie????? Mine does it on 4s lol..Yes,I agree the Kraton is a truggy..Both are truggies imo has zero to do with diff case..It has to do with wheelbase and the mounted wing

[@TpPartsRcXtreme]

Thank you Mark for this video, same here been with rc cars for almost 40 years. And you nailed it 100% IMO. 🥰. And ofc i have both, and believe it or not, the ERevo are the one that break less.

[@TheF1shh]

whoa, so the slash was originally a monster truck, but the LCG chassis made it a truggy! =)

[@jameshankssr466]

No the slash is a short course truck always was a short course truck

[@paulloomis7155]

Man, you don't need that nonsense! Traxxas is awesome!! Keep up the informative an knowledgeable KZbin!! Your da man!👊😎

[@wolf16731]

I was around when we were running monster truck. Traxxas Revo and TMaxx, Associated MGT, Tamiya TNX, Losi LST, HPI Savage.. awesome times. That was back when the nitro MT classes were separated by engine size. Small block (less than .21) and big block (.21 and over).

[@michaelwells730]

Traxxas 4 life!

[@gabrielpichardo1492]

Thanks for explaining the difference and explaining what a truggy is. Even because of the technicality of the diffs residing below the chassis on that style of rc vehicle makes it a “ monster truck” , to me they still dont look like monster trucks 🛻 to mea monster truck should have solid axles and the body should sit super high over the big giant tires

[@da6965]

The rules are the rules bruh❗️

[@woogienitro]

love my lst's..yep i had to really upgrade the erevo gen 1 for durability...never had the kraton thoughg

[@Macgyver46]

Very cool. Glad to hear your opinion. I can say being autistic helped me over research getting into the hobby in 2021. Granted I still didn't know enough about brands etc. Thankfully I haven't gotten a brand opinion yet. If I had a Traxxas store I would own one. The only thing I fan boy over is electric over gas.

[@Tight_Lines_Uce]

Your videos are very informative for the NEW person or even Sr. Vet’s in the Hobby. YOU KEEP DOING WHAT YOU’RE DOING. YOU DO YOU. HATERS will and are going to be HATERS. Keep up the Great 👍🏼 videos. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@ClevelandRips]

I’m happy Traxxas isn’t right down the street from me. That would get crazy!

[@Dumrikk]

I love it when the purists are nice. I think arrma has the loudest fanboys, this will be thumbed up because you liked the Sega brand. remember the nineties? Anyway, I own these brands too. But I don't know if I like the brands.. I think Arrma is the ugliest brand, this is not true of the typhoon, but look at that shipping crate design, the Kraton is making my eyes water.. I think the Outcast 8s is designed by the same crate company, I had to sell it because it drove like a 5-inch metal plate,but I don't know what they are trying to do. Anyway, I think the F150 brand could try another model,who knows maybe farming cars aren't the only thing that exists, what about the pacer? I would love that and I am a dumb foreigner.. I think my critique is well written and actually honest apart from the first thing in this sentence. What will you attack, the box or the T-ford? They both are cheap as shit.. On spending money on their cars. We know everything is fixable, but ugly is ugly.. Damn, why Army Kratos?

[@pewterngold]

Nice vid. Arma quality control sucks IMO. Diff problems galore. Their “fanboys” have HUUUGE inferiority complex’s when it comes to defending their brand of choice.

[@rrcompton22]

Savage flux diffs aren’t below the chassis and it definitely doesn’t handle or look like a truggy. The Kraton has always looked like a truggy to me though….

Mark I'm with you I've had Traxxas since I was a kid! platinum Revos all the Traxxas stuff! But the thing is I even admit that the kraton platforms are a leg up on the Traxxas trucks and I own both... What do I take out more often?? Not my e Revo 2.0 I take my kraton 8s why because it's easier to work on that's it. People need to do research on an rc imo mark. I knew you knew but box stock was the way to do your vid imo. You rock bro!! Hope to meet ya someday

[@jasonkraus7442]

F@#K the haters, Mark. Haters are gonna hate, and you can't please everyone. YOU buy whatever makes YOU happy. SO what if you like Traxxas. Listening to YOU and Kevin Talbot, TRAXXAS is a high quality product that can take one hell of a beating and their support team is unbeatable. AND the parts are inexpensive IF they do break. Traxxas and Redcat are the only 2 distributors that I know of that will back their product 100% and will replace with no questions asked other than were to send the new RC. I have had Traxxas AND redcat replace 2 vehicles each....... that's TWO...... with ZERO questions asked other than where to send the replacement RC. Yes, it cost me a small shipping fee. But that was all I paid. The other guys haven't been as supportive and the answer I always get is : "I can order the parts online thru them or ebay or amazon.' Really?!?!? I will buy traxxas and redcat products all day long because of their warranty backing and support team. Don't get me wrong, I love Arrma products and their vehicles look sweeeeeet, but the support is lacking..... at least for me. Final thought : Buy whatever makes YOU happy. And F@#K the haters. Enjoy your videos, too, brother. You always give good information and opinions

[@droningharry]

Marc I agree with you 100%. I own Arrma, Traxxas, and Losi my next Truck will be the new MAXX and I can’t wait to get it. Now I’ll, admit brandwise I’m an Arrma fanboy in fact I have 5. For me they are easy to work on and bash well my Traxxas and Losi are for lighter bashing and jumping and they do just fine. I have to drive 70 miles to my LHS and that’s each way I would love to live that close, I’d actually probably work there. Point is we all love the hobby and this is really the same iOS vs Android garbage with wheels. We all need to chill sometimes. Good video!

[@rcaddict7638]

I’ve never owned a e-revo 2.0 but I’ve driven them I prefer the kraton I really regret selling mine

[@jlmercado76]

Traxxas hasn't changed anything...they stick to the winning formula which is good for them! Arrma is sick,new, and insane!!! I'm an old school guy ...losi, Schumacher so I like them all. Anything that brings them into the hobby 👍 #omg

The Kraton is a monster Truggie, iv been building them like that, out of HB's for 12 years. BUT IMO it is a direct comparison to the Revo, the Revo has laydown shocks and low center of gravity, it also handles very well...but sucks because it breaks, exp 1.0 terrible

[@Art-zs6sl]

I liked the monster truck explanation. The rest felt like you were throwing the Arrma fanboys a bone. In the durability test, MAXX wins vs. anything.

I just can’t mess with traxxas after my 450 slash vxl broke every second. From motor to esc to slipper to chassis. Everything broke. Truck never lasted more than 5 minutes. Same with my friend e revo. None of us buy traxxas any more. We stick with other brands now.

🤔 Remember MARK everyone has an opinion , 🤷🏽‍♂️ but ( COMMON SENSE ) is hard to come by. So that being said you buy what you want and enjoy the hobby with whatever you have.👍🏼

You are spot on as far as classification, I agree pending on any change (other than marketing by manufacturer). I currently own an Arrma Big Rock V3 3s MT and it's also little more than an overgrown truggy. Are they tough? Yes, but that doesn't make them a MT. I had a Losi 8t truggy (yes the OG), it was a tough basher as well, as an extremely competent racer, but it wasn't a monster truck. I also had a E converted Revo (with a Gorilla chassis and OG Emaxx transmission), this thing broke more pieces than any other truck i ever had, Be it diffs bulks arms Bodt Mounts i broke every traxxas part except the Emaxx transmission. But the revo back then wasn't built for 6s Lipo, it was designed for the small block nitro racing that was popular back then. I am also not a brand Snob, I plan to get a stampede 2wd next truck i get, because that was the most fun I ever had, back in the day

Inggit lang sila sa iyo bossing, huwag mo sila pansinin. Learning alot from your videos, i love 'em, very helpful for noobs like me. Mabuhay! More power and Keep on rollin'!

[@westtxgreg]

Meh don’t sweat the comments, everyone has one. You can do different things to both to make them perform like you want. Those two are pretty close. I wouldn’t consider either really a “Monster truck”. Bend the chassis on the Arrma though and it’s expensive. 🤷‍♂️ 6 of one half a dozen of the other. Run what makes you smile. Waiting to see if there will be a competitor to the XMaxx. Associated has a MT8 coming out that may be kinda close but probably not 🤣🤣🤣

The Kraton is a monster truggy. My HPI Savage is a monster truck and handles like one too! As much as I love HPI I have to admit that in terms of durability the Arrma and Traxxas win. They are also designed better and are easier to work on. Both Arrma and Traxxas have much better parts availability. Arrma and Traxxas are beasts and use high quality plastic and good engineering. With hop-ups both brands are near undestructible!! LOL

[@85wylie]

I'm with you 💯....I still have my platinum revo as well as my first gen summit and I absolutely love them......but my exb is for sending it 😬

[@tyehicks8739]

I agree 100% with you on the truggy and monster trucks , I gave Kraton 8s and the X Maxx . Two completely different trucks but both great truck. In the end, what makes you smile is all that counts!

It goes without saying, you can't please everyone. Personally, most of my rigs are Arrma's. I don't care too much for the Traxxas line of vehicles, except for their X-Maxx. That being said, I have plenty of critiques for Arrma, not the least of which is their current lack of QC on their vehicles. And their constant lack of parts on their RC's. They are usually on backorder. As much as I don't like Traxxas politics as a company, and their lack of product innovation, and mostly plastic vehicles, I do give them credit for having parts in stock at all times. And they do, for the most part, do a decent job on the design of their RC's. But, to each its own. If you love Traxxas, then have fun. If you love Arrma, then go for it. Is good to have choices.

[@jimmyv1753]

I’m an Arrma guy.. mainly because that was my first big expensive RC. Also they’ve been through hell and have never broke. The only reason I’m not into Traxxas is simply because I don’t want to break down and get their ridiculous battery system. I want one bad. I want one of EVERY brand. I’ve simply had good luck with my Arrmas. But they don’t have anywhere near the upgrade and alternative part options that Traxxas appears to have. One day I’ll drop the dime and get the Traxxas System so I can upgrade my collection.
