The Traxxas Hoss Don't Need No Stink'n Ramps!

[@rcmakingtracks18]

It's wonderful to watch you having so much fun with your RC. Just ordered the new V3 BLX GRANITE. Can't wait for the fun to start... thanks for sharing. John

[@outsourcedrc]

RC's are a ton of fun!

[@GeddyRC]

Yeah right? Smiling from ear to ear the whole time 😀 I’m brand new to this hobby but it’s the first thing that’s made me smile like that for a very, very long time. Lifelong hobby for sure.

[@whistlinlipo]

Looks like everyone opens up their car in that parking lot!

[@outsourcedrc]

I know, right?

[@RMJ1984]

Some people have small rc's, other have really big RC's. Like a Ford Mustang RC! Definitely not made by Traxxas ! :P

[@danielhouston9196]

@@outsourcedrc I have the hoss! I love it. Just wanted to tune it up a bit. A little more speed! What would u suggest?

[@tripppleDaddy]

I want one..just one week after buying the E-Revo... Great vids you deserve more subscribers!

[@MillerTime0002]

Honestly surprised you havent bent a shock shaft yet them shafts are pretty weak

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks!

[@dankstank6854]

It never stops the addiction is real

[@michigancody467]

Yes he does.

[@vibe808]

I think it’s the body rubbing. 🤙 That suspension looks plush. That Ollie over the ditch was😎👍🏼awesome

[@robertwren2289]

I'll say this for you, you don't hold back, you put these RC through the torcher side of life. lol

[@outsourcedrc]

I never mean to. It just kinda evolves into that lol

[@Basherqueen]

That Video was awesome! Very cool! Thank you so much for sharing! The genuine Metal drive shafts break under load very easy. I had this on my Rustler 4x4.

[@dianetmotors]

The driveshafts are plastic

[@outsourcedrc]

I put metal ones on it today.

[@rcsmith5909]

Definitely the noise is the body roll. Same thing on mine ! Coool vid. Thanks

[@twanmcnasty4012]

Love watching the hoss Ollie' stuff ... especially down the short set of stairs that was cool 😁

[@outsourcedrc]

yeah it was fun.

[@pocowoso1436]

3:43 That looked like an airplane taking off! Great video man!

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks

[@grasshoppergamer8946]

The response time for the Hoss is amazing.

[@mcgruff424]

Mine makes the same sound... I think it's the body too... I messaged traxxas to see if they are aware of it yet... waiting for a reply but I'll let you know... I had to get some shims to go right behind the wheel hubs but other than that HOSS is a BOSS!

[@rcmindset2876]

The hits you put on it were just brutal. I think it handled up well. Smashing into the curbs like you do, nothing will be able to handle that punishment better than a traxxas.

[@outsourcedrc]

I agree.

[@GeddyRC]

That bunny hop over the camera was sick, haha super cool. Enjoyed this video! Felt like I was hanging with ya lol, I feel like crackin’ a beer and watching some more all of a sudden.

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it

[@mikemane45]

Definitely the tires rubbing the body. I already investigated it lol

[@CCxRC]

I think it's Body rub grind. Mine definitely rubs. But hard to tell from your sound on video. Handled the rock crawling section no problem 😂That was some fun ollie action. I think we'll see more driveshaft breaks because I noticed I land on throttle when trying to save Ollies. Notice it on yours too. The brake would make it nose down, then throttle to level and still hit from down with crazy wheel speed. Totally worth it though!!!

[@outsourcedrc]

I put metal drive shafts on it today,. We will see how it holds up.

[@georgesilva1737]

Check your shock adjustment. Mine dosen't rub on the body.✌ Wonderful video thanks ✌

[@DampActionRC]

Jumping your camera with no ramp is a pretty awesome move man, and yeah that speed bump jump lands so nice I’d do it just for the sound. 🤓 Hoss looks responsive as heck and lands plush when you get it down on all four. Can’t wait to get my hands on one Great video man, love the rock crawl test 🤟

[@nikolajlysgaard7839]

Great vid - thanks for sharing 👍

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks for watching

[@RackwitzG]

Some of the "expert" reviewers don't like the Hoss, but I like the way it looks and think I'm going to buy one soon. Traxxas is good quality in general and the spare parts are much cheaper than many other brands. That's something to consider too. Because Traxxas is such a large brand, spares will be available for ever.

[@outsourcedrc]

I dont know who those expert reviewers are. I love the little thing. I think its awesome.

[@RackwitzG]

@@outsourcedrc You know, some say its a Rustler with a larger motor. Some critisize the servo is not metal geared. They almost all agree the price is way too high. I found the TA MT10 this mornig due to your review. That looks like a better deal. You were quite happy with it and I don't drive so wild to need something undestructable. ;)

[@ghpjerry]

From what I'm seeing, this looks like a great RC.

[@outsourcedrc]

I think it is.

[@ytglitched_6921]

I have a traxxas stampede 4x4 that I converted into a hoss it’s absolutely a monster because of the shorter wheels base I absolutely love it

[@ytglitched_6921]

Also I bought a e revo 2.0 because you loved it as well I bought after market wheels for street but they are not good compared to the stock ones

[@murdernovaltr]

This thing looks fun hopefully a bunch of hop ups come out for it

[@outsourcedrc]

It is

[@colinmacdonald6600]

I love you enthusiasm it infectious. So look forward to watching your vids. Like other subscribers u deserve so much more keep up the great work

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks! Its just the way I am

[@michigancody467]

Love the video as always. Keep it up man. Thanks for the video.

[@sethnicholls2956]

I don't know but I would put that wheelie bar on any 10th scale Traxxas truck it would fit!!!

[@jeremymiller2340]

Good video brother, I am highly considering this rig for my boy, I'm loving the Maxx, it's a beast, the Hoss looks pretty durable, oh yeah love the bunny hop over the camera 🤙

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks! This thing is a lot of fun, and so much power for its size

[@danatrustin3982]

Hi, Thanks for the Neet video!

[@mykjeez]

Nice work!

[@RMJ1984]

I feel bad for his E-Revo v2.0. Because judging from the Fun'O'Meter, it has now become absolete!. The Traxxas Hoss Ollie truck.

[@mohammadmaaytah862]

You think so? I own a 2.0 and enjoy how controlled it is relative to what I see in the Hoss. Hoss wheelies too often for my liking and lacks the heft/power of the 2.0 and as a result does not clear jumps as well as the 2.0. My 2 cents.

[@outsourcedrc]

nah. The E Revo is still Number one

[@jamesonrcranch6753]

My favorite traxxas model man to date!! Good video

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks

[@brenthenderson2475]

What’s your opinion in between the rustler vxl or the hoss? Witch one is better?

[@outsourcedrc]

The Hoss, easily. If I had to choose, the Rustler stands no chance.

[@dylanwhite6539]

I got similar turning tires sounds with my rcr landslide. You can try something like gpm hub extenders. I would probably see If 17 works before going 25.

[@danielhouston9196]

What would u suggest to get a little more speed to my Hoss? Right now its stock. Had it about a month or so! Love it! Just want to tune it up a bit.

[@outsourcedrc]

Oh I dont know. You can change the ESC out and run 4s on it. You are probably better off just changing the pinion.

[@justboogieman]

Yea it's tire rub on the body. Go DAWGS 👍

[@Yupyupyuppy]

Gosh. WIsh I have an open parking lot like yours ...

[@vitodambra72]

Do you think if you get a good quality fan for motor it will slow down the overheating when u push it through the thick grass

[@outsourcedrc]

I'm not sure how much it will help, but I'm sure it will help it some.

[@MichaelHollandOne]

Awesome video!

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks!

[@27pugsly]

Ya know what it’s so annoying the side body keeps popping off ! Is there a remedy to this ? Maybe Velcro ? Oh what a beautiful day to RC !!

[@outsourcedrc]

No idea. I just live with it.

[@Gabe_Colon]

I just got my hoss and I love it.... except for the fact that I broke the servo🥲..... I have the upgraded one coming tho....

[@outsourcedrc]

Ouch.

[@jerrymulholland1842]

I put the hoss chassis on my stampede lowers the body

[@brysonkuhn3290]

So now you pretty much have a hoss with a stampede body and motor lol

[@VladmirSOfferinG]

How much is discharge rate C rating for the battery that you are using in the video?

[@outsourcedrc]

25c

[@Kolsch221]

In your opinion which is better Hoss or Max?

[@outsourcedrc]

I think the Hoss is more fun, but the Maxx is tougher.

[@newfonewhodis5156]

put metal teckno ones on ther not too expensive and there really tough

[@kevinmccreary3985]

Yeah I open mine up in there mine is a Hass four-wheel-Drive

[@JohnDoe-mt5ik]

helloive watch a couple of your video's. pretty cool! i bought hoss about 3 month's ago. Anyway I was just wondering where you got one of those little speedometers? The only reason I'm asking is because I just did the gearing to 23/50. Thank you for your time

[@richardriffle9773]

I just noticed you're breaking the same driveshaft I am I went to Steel drive shafts is the front one pretty sure it's when it over spins when you're in the air. Front right tire

[@williamoleary9330]

So my son & I are trying to choose between the Hoss, Maxx, and Rustler VXL 4x4 Just for light bashing and to run on turf fields. Which one would you suggest? We understand the Rustler with the lower CG will probably handle the best, but it’s about light bashing for us. We need a little more ground clearance as to not stress the motor as much so I guess it really comes down to the Hoss or the Maxx Let us know when u get the chance. From a Subscriber

[@outsourcedrc]

I'd go with the Hoss personally. I think the Maxx is just too top heavy for its foot print and you have to spend a lot to get it to drive really well.

[@jeffbryner5355]

It sure doesnt!!!. It will need replacement parts soon though haha

[@joeygodoy509]

Just take the body off, then take sharp turns. If noise is gone with body off you know its just tire rubbing the body. You can raise the body some

[@falkdroste9895]

what do you prefer maxx or hoss

[@outsourcedrc]

The Hoss

[@vtmods4172]

You should get tekno driveshafts

[@Mudcon]

How are you making it ollie?

[@outsourcedrc]

I'll be making a video explaining all that soon enough. Basicly you pull the throttle hard, and break once it goes vertical.

[@damonpeters6645]

does the hoss body fit on the rustler 4x4 and vice versa?

[@whistlinlipo]

It does, kind of. Earl Moorehead did a video on it.

[@aristojose5754]

not without some fanagling earl moorhead kinda showed it on his hoss video... the body towers are different heights

[@outsourcedrc]

Yes..ish. They dont fit well.

[@bigbassbosky]

I preordered mine ... Still waiting for it ... Can't wait to drive it ... I was wondering ... How is it doing tamperature wise ?is it ok stock or does it need a fan on the motor

[@outsourcedrc]

it does fine out of the grass. It will over heat in tall grass or going up hill a lot. I forgot to check temps. It gets hot though.

[@jarrettmaltry6305]

E revo suspension setup vid? Yours handles so nicely

[@outsourcedrc]

I forget which video, but I remember showing and telling exactly how the springs and everything are set up. I forget which one though.

[@innakruz5336]

It’s the body scratching

[@ilovejesus973]

What’s better the Hoss or the Maxx ? Great speed run.👍👍💯💯

[@whistlinlipo]

Maxx, but the cost of ownership would be cheaper for the Hoss

[@theirishaxe9405]

Maxx better in every way. This hoss is tiny compared to maxx . Go check them out side by side at your hobby store. This is just another stupid over priced parts bin truck from traxxas . Just another rustler/stampede/slash. Spend a couple more bucks and get the Maxx. I've actually beat the maxx up pretty bad i have a 6s system in it and i still haven't broken a drive shaft only the body and wheels. The wheels are junk and they crumble and crack but besides that it's pretty good

[@whistlinlipo]

THEIRISHAXE the wheels are absolutely trash on the Maxx

[@rcplayground7]

@@whistlinlipo Where the wheel breaks? In the hex area?

[@whistlinlipo]

RC Playground I’ve had two rims crack on me over the course of three packs. And I’ve never had issues on any of my other Stock Traxxas wheels

[@leroy5202]

The only issue with the Rustler 4x4 and the Hoss is the drive shafts and shocks everything else has been perfect.

[@maniac1628]

The drive shafts are great they are the new extreme duty grey ones they are hold up great for me sure obviously the metal ones are stronger but these are pretty darn good as well and much cheaper to replace 😎

[@leroy5202]

@@maniac1628 Really?? I broke a drive shaft on my Rustler last week and another one just today.

[@williamoleary9330]

Thank you

[@darkdemise99]

The noise is the body rubbing, the sides of the body should be tucked inside the guard rails, yours is outside making the rubbing worse.

[@TrashCanNinja87]

traxxas does make metal driveshafts.

[@outsourcedrc]

Yeah i got them now.

[@alexp6409]

Any wandering issues like you had on the other video?

[@outsourcedrc]

Some, but I'm getting better at it.

[@magnusm8516]

my traxxas maxx broke the driveshaft in the same spot 4 runs in with the widekit

[@outsourcedrc]

Yep. The wide kit really makes the stock shafts weak

[@jimmy67001]

How does the car jump up like that?

[@outsourcedrc]

I'll be making a video explaining all that soon enough. Basicly you pull the throttle hard, and break once it goes vertical.

[@paadventureland3315]

its the body mine does the same thing when sending it.

[@skychina24]

Good video, do you do a cooperation review as well?

[@outsourcedrc]

Cooperation review? i dont know what that is.

[@jud-asinsmith-stansell2022]

Do a video on how SLOW can u make it. Changing pinion/gearing and learning mode. I want to give it for christmas to my 6 yr old. Hive something of quality and it will grow with him.

[@MRPB54]

2s battery and on learning mode should be pretty dang slow considering the motor can do 4s batteries

[@ericarmendariz1177]

I need help my erevo is wobbleling at high speed any idea what is going on? I checked everything and can’t find the issue

[@dianetmotors]

The tires are ballooning and that is making it unstable. It's not a problem but if you want you can get belted tires

[@outsourcedrc]

I'm not sure. Is your TSM all the way up? That will cause it. Turn it down to about 1/4th

[@sanderjrgensen6149]

Have you ever broke a drive shaft

[@outsourcedrc]

Yes. The two front ones.

[@sanderjrgensen6149]

Yeah🤣

[@olivierdriver]

more video with your maxx please

[@outsourcedrc]

They will be coming.

[@TylerWhite-je3zw]

Hey man I have one do you need help with it

[@Subieboy58]

I want one I am saving up for it I am trying not to break my one rc to spend money on it the body keeps getting destroyed it the stampede4x4vxl

[@brianchan5402]

Too delicate imo

[@raven5347]

When u gonna try a tekno?

[@outsourcedrc]

They have a few that I want to try, but they cost a lot and they are not popular enough to make enough views in a video to cover the cost. Maybe if my channel gets to the point that its paying for itself I'll pick one up.

[@Art-zs6sl]

Why do people buy a Hoss instead of a Maxx? Not sure what it's good at

[@outsourcedrc]

The Hoss is more fun. I like it more than the Maxx for sure. Its just better in every way other than durability.
