I feel the same way about the place in terms of the use-case for the XRT over the XMAXX. Low slung, great handling, speed and big. Everything I wanted, as I'm also not a crazy basher. I also couldn't get 50 out of the box, not that I felt it was slow at this size.

I like watching kevs videos as it demonstrates how durable stuff is. When i was a kid i had a tamiya madcap and lunch box but one sniff of a jump and they'd be smashed to pieces.

Bought a savage 4.6 later on but nitro is so noisy always gets attention. Todays rc's are mad the amount of abuse kev gives his xmaxxes is amazing at what they can do but not keen on the rolie polie of the xmaxx and have been looking at Kratons but i don't like how the motors mounted and possble egging so instead i sweated and bought the XRT and tried not to think about it lol Best of both worlds.

Fantastic video, probably in the top five of the best you have ever made. It was through you that I bought my first premium RC when you were filming a Senton on the same track, this sold it for me and I have been thrilled with it, this cost four times as much as the previous kit I used to buy. Again, through you, I nearly gave up with the hobby as those less expensive models did nothing for me, they were barely “hobby grade” and I found them dull as ditch water and unexciting. I took time out and returned and bought the Senton, there are others I have bought through your recommendation (can’t remember which at this time) and my collection has grown somewhat! Regarding spending lots of loot on so called “big boy toys”, at the end of the day you pay for what you get, companies need to make profits. I have a few Traxxas including the Xmaxx which I adore (bought through “Beyond RC” recommendation), it never fails to make me beam a smile nor does it fail to attract an audience but that might be down to my rubbish driving, how you manage to drive one handed is amazing, I can only manage walking and talking at the same time. Keep the videos rolling, a fantastic and entertaining channel.

I really HATE when people try to justify the ridiculous prices that come along with the RC hobby. Your average person is basically priced out of the hobby. What makes it even worse is that they're selling 20, 30, hell, maybe even 40 year old tech. They just keep putting a new body on it and a different chassis and calling it a new RC car and they jack the price way up... IIt took me 3 years before I was FINALLY able to spend the money for a redcat Gen 8. And those are "cheap." I love this hobby. I just HATE the RC manufacturers who rip us off constantly. And the worshipers who justify the ridiculous prices just to make themselves feel a little less stupid for blowing that kind of money on a TOY.

@Tomley RC you have justified some prices before that I thought were a little bit high for what they were but no. In general, you're pretty spot on with them being overpriced. Especially with Traxxas. You are one of the only channels I can watch without getting this feeling of you worshiping the Traxxas overlords and having an ego because you can afford the ridiculous prices. Someone like Kevin rip off Talbot who gets his money by scamming people with his stupid ass Ebay shit and that RC sparks studio D bag who can't say a single sentence most days without cussing like a sailor because he thinks it makes him cool and spends 11 grand on an rc excavator and spends 30 minutes bragging about and justifying the cost. Those people I can't stand. They're the ones who give the RC hobby as a whole a bad reputation and Kevin is just a spoiled little shit with no real sense of value because he can just rip people off more to buy more rc cars.

OMG! ya'll, these GRAVIX tires are an enlarged version of the dBOOTS KATARS on the VORTEKS. IMHO that's why they suck. RC HACK ALERT: use the ARRMA 3S slipper clutch plate as an outer washer and use ANY set of 5th SCALE ARRMA tires. they stay balanced and secure. i'm surprised that my dumba** idea worked.
