Traxxas 8s 1/6 XRT EXO’s FIRST THOUGHTS!

[@rcdriver]

Thanks for the link shoutout brother. Awesome overview and thoughts!

[@DB-qm4jx]

Awesome of you to comment on Joes channel Greg!

[@ExocagedRC]

You do some great work buddy.

[@mikehagquist5198]

Traxxas should of gave you one. Your one of the best rc KZbinrs on here. Come on traxxas

[@sargil100]

No kidding, great ambassador!

[@truerc]

Got to love how they didn't lie about scale like another company does

[@jakethole]

You are one of the most informative channels out there I watch your videos everyday. Traxxas come on! You need to start sending him your trucks for review. He gives great info and always helps sell me your products. I have bought tons of RC and upgrade parts just because he does such an amazing job explaining what to do and not to do.

[@jdpasltrains]

Stay tuned for Vitavon parts installing in the XRT on Exocaged RC's channel!

[@ExocagedRC]

LOL NO WAY!! I'm keeping this one stock!!

[@jdpasltrains]

@@ExocagedRC LOL You did it to your XMAXX.

[@engineerdan9633]

You should definitely be on the list for pre-release of new rc cars!

[@zachyurkus]

Man this thing is blowing up my feed today! Can’t wait to see you get your hands on one!!

[@ExocagedRC]

You and me both!

[@tompendley1172]

Oh man, more $$$$$ to spend when they finally do come out. Great job on explaining the main features to look for. They should be gving you early releases, you have been up there for a while now. You've earned that!

[@ExocagedRC]

thank you buddy

[@michaelregan427]

They are seriously f'n up not giving one to you Joe. You do a great walk through on your rigs. You're definitely at that level to get one from Traxxas you actually customize rigs and make them better/faster, unlike a lot of youtubers who just smash up rtrs.

[@fernsolo]

I've seen some of the new XRT videos and this truck looks great, great video man 👍

[@robgoffroad]

You may not have the subscriber count yet, but _I_ think you're one of the big guys in RC videos. In fact, I'm amazed you don't have more subs than you do. Your videos are top-notch.

[@ExocagedRC]

Thank you buddy. I try.

[@BeautyBeastRC]

@@ExocagedRC Man you have waaaaaaaay more subs than majority of other rc chans. I'm actually surprised you don't get rigs to review. I've seen chans with much less. I think rc guy garage got the kraton 4s from arrma and he doesn't even have half your subs. Keep up the good work!

[@teamPOW]

Better than that Mark dude honestly. Exo deserves more subscribers for sure.

[@BeautyBeastRC]

@@teamPOW that guy comes off as such a Traxxas fan boy imo.

[@clairecooper3848]

Don’t sell yourself short Exo , you are already at that level to get the early release 👍👌👍 Traxxas should open their eyes 👀

[@UAERCADDICTS]

i dont believe traxxas didn't send you one , how dare you traxxas

[@kuyaali956]

I'm excited,my wife went to the local RC shop and reserved (paid) for one to make sure I have one when it comes out. She reserved the all black one which is supposedly going to be very low on availability.

[@Jsmith9619]

Trying to keep up with Arrma it seems.

[@ExocagedRC]

This is competition, if this is as durable as the Xmaxx is, ARRMA will have to redesign some stuff

[@spike--]

🤭... 🤣🤣 lol

[@steveg6060]

Isn't that the idea? All platform's trying to achieve the best selling R/C

[@jasonbecker4997]

K8 killer?!?

[@decayer6710]

Competition keeps these brands alive!!!

[@CM-ig2pf]

Can’t wait to see you get this into the 15’s👍😁

[@ExocagedRC]

It may be possible. I’ll find out

[@CM-ig2pf]

@@ExocagedRC hopefully you get one soon! I left a comment about on the traxxas website asking why you didn’t get one! You deserve it just as much as the others who received one. If not more!!! Of course no response!

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Proof is in the pudding! 🤷‍♂️ Traxxas has disappointed me so many times that I find it difficult to get excited about any of their releases!

[@ExocagedRC]

This one might be awesome. Time will tell

[@frankie2499]

You got to lie about products to get them first...hope you never get them first. I like that we can trust your honesty.

[@ExocagedRC]

Well man, all I do is show the products, video and summarize what we all see. Can’t really lie about that. Thank you.

[@mattmaclearn263]

I hope the issues aren’t as bad as the sledge

[@ExocagedRC]

Shouldn’t be, traxxas kinda messed up on that with the open sintered gears.

[@sammyboswelldirtybrc7580]

Joe u every bit as good as any body on KZbin buddy one of my favorite rc channels the big boys better open there eyes and don’t be sleeping on my buddy joe 🔥🔥🔥😎👍

[@ExocagedRC]

Thank you

[@LonnieHutchinson90]

It’s going to be the baddest out there!

[@ryurc3033]

I'm not big into bashers, my 10 year old loves his stamped, and I like my 4x4 slash(castle 1515 2200kv/ monster x), but I have 6 crawlers, 2 drifters, and a drag car, would need another shelf to pack any more in........I watch rc driver too, his videos are always in depth and excellent quality. I really figured you were big enough to start getting early access. Hopefully they wake up in the sales department.

[@harlyquin]

7:22 the video just got real sad there for a minute, you can do it buddy, keep at it, your videos a great.

[@ExocagedRC]

Thank you buddy

[@juanmarichal263]

You're the best, Joe.

[@EJ-74]

Can't wait to see it on the track etc 👍🏻

[@billzkustomz]

You never will. There won't ever be a class for it

[@ExocagedRC]

We have an Xmaxx class we can run it in….until they complain LoL. But this and the K8S will be awesome.

[@EJ-74]

@@ExocagedRC To the comment above yours I was basically talking about seeing how it performs on YOUR track but It would be cool to see how it performs against other RCs it's size on different tracks as well. If you took the shocks and tires off the XRT and put them on the wide XMAXX it wouldn't be a hell of a lot of difference or would it 🤔 Cant wait to find out on the track 😁 Sadly I've never owned either so I really have no dog in this fight either way so to speak lol 😆🤣

[@EJ-74]

@@billzkustomz I wouldn't bet on that 🤔 People said there would never be a class for the TMAXX 20+ yrs ago either but just a couple months after hearing this there was over 50+ entries in stock class just at my local track alone and later we even had a decent modified class. Sadly I was forced to quit racing not long after so I don't know how long it lasted but it did happen. Never say never my friend ✌🏻

[@rcilluminati26]

You def deserve to get early releases! I can’t believe they don’t see that yet.

[@jasonbecker4997]

Looks killer! Hope Santa can get one for me. 🎅

[@R.C.DADDYHAWAII]

Love your videos I gotta start hitting like i watch then forget

[@Addicted_2RC]

Well I didn't see 1k going to Traxxas this fall for a new RC but I need this one!!!!! A truggified XMaxx??? HELL YEAH!!!!! This looks like it has all of the possibilities of being the new rtr king. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these. From what I've seen the widemaxx kit makes the XMaxx a little clumsy I'm thinking the lower center of gravity will definitely improve handling.

[@rc-daily]

It looks like a wide xmaxx that's been turned into a larger sledge.

[@ExocagedRC]

Great to see a running video on this

[@ExocagedRC]

As soon as I get it

[@DB-qm4jx]

🤯Definitely Traxxas should have given you one!🫤

[@brokennib1]

Yeah, I'm not a fanboy, and I don't want to throw shade on other creators, but if SBG could get one of these, you should get one also. I mean, this truck is completely within your wheelhouse, and you even have your own track for crissake! And with the current inflation, I seriously doubt they are going to bring in anyone "new" to RC, not with list prices hovering around 1k. So I don't think they are going by subscriber count.

[@JimmyB55]

You'll get there. 👍

[@RC4us]

Idk if the ARRMA guys will be upset this time TRAXXAS stayed with their own patient design which if they would’ve put their patient chassis design on sledge people probably wouldn’t have said anything… this isn’t anything like a 8s ARRMA but the sledge is a different story it’s just another fright design nothing special like this one

[@ExocagedRC]

Yeah but I did the side by side with the Kraton, I actually bought that Kraton just to have one for that video. LoL they aren’t the same. This XRT is a whole new beast though

[@RC4us]

@@ExocagedRC yeah that’s what I meant they used their typical design which has been more then proven tough I think if the sledge would’ve been designed using this style plastic chassis like every other TRAXXAS nobody would’ve cried they stole the truggy design

[@willmoore5550]

What it lacks in metal it makes up for in price.

[@BeautyBeastRC]

You think the aftermarket xmaxx motor mounts will fit the new XRT? like the m2c mount?

[@Mason-Dain]

@traxxas give this guy one

[@VS666]

my xmaxx really disappointed me, i had so many issues and had to take advantage of warranty more than a few times. between the transmitter lag and awful steering, and the motor and esc, i have written off traxxas for any basher/racer car. hopefully the trx4 and trx18 wont be terrible when i do get one

[@dmwz7131]

Man you do an excellent job! Time will tell and they will eventually catch up! @traxxas

[@glizzyglucker8760]

[@modzilla74]

Low cg xmaxx

[@3SonsRC]

1000% coming after Arrma 8s Kraton. About time Traxxas get of their lazy butt and start doing somthing different.... Oh wait this has been done its just now traxxas Style.. Makes sence, looks bad ass honestly, the Sledge is a great rig especially M2Cified, I want one but not in the cards right now.

[@spike--]

🤦

[@chriscord6524]

Yo!!!! Traxxas!!! Wtf why does this guy not have one? Who do you think you are? These are remixes at best

[@trailersworld4483]

Make the race between xrt vs kraton 6s ! Even durability test as well

[@ExocagedRC]

The Kraton 6S is a 1/8 scale. This is on the same scale as my Kraton 8s. The issue is, my K8S is about to become an incredible K12S soon. I’d have to borrow another K8S for a direct stock/stock comparison.

[@M3rwin6]

I wonder what it would take to convert my X-Maxx into this??

[@ExocagedRC]

Not sure but just a guess, chassis, bulkheads, upper bulkheads, driveshaft, body. Not sure what else would be needed

[@R.C.DADDYHAWAII]

I just started I’m learning from all u guys im Stuck at home due to health issues fell at work broke my back RC saved my life be going crazy now I’m converting the garage into a shop I’d really appreciate if u subscribe I’m still learning but I’m not scared to do some crazy things learn how to fix things wanna learn builds just love it

[@davidgoodbadandugly]

Hello don't they know you and your audience they should be sending you one to show off! Oh well hopefully in the future!

[@coolhawk2003]

Esc go in the xmaxx? Like to see how that tune works for the xmaxx

[@ExocagedRC]

No idea but that’s what I was told

[@CAPRAQUEENRC]

Comparing a XRT to XMAXX is like comparing a LOSI MONSTER TRUCK to a LOSI MEGA TRUCK lol.

[@ExocagedRC]

True it’s more comparable to the K8S however it’s got a lot of Xmaxx parts in it so that’s what I have to go with at this time.

[@WhiskeyRunnerOne]

That's ridiculous that you aren't on the early list.

[@LvDirtJunky]

After seeing everyone that got the xrt , traxxas is really blowing it leaving you out …. Some of the other KZbinrs aren’t worthy that’s for sure

Wikid!

[@RC_Berserker]

I’m surprised they don’t sue you for saying their brand names 😂 I say let them have their baby bottle because without the aftermarket beef, trashas would be just that. Trash. 🤷🏻‍♂️ with the flat chassis and the aluminum driveline they use 😂 gonna be a noodle on ANY chassis slap. And M2C with the chassis brace… won’t work because the hardware will get jacked and again, chassis slap will destroy it so that chassis is going to collapse, the center driveshaft will fail (spaghetti noodles everywhere) and the electronics suck. I broke my motor mount on the Xtrash, broke the end bell and exploded the fan and the thing ejected my lipo like it does with the body and ripped it wide open so, I decided “enough is enough” and put it in the corner where it belongs (time out) with her little sister Maxx v2 and I play with my Arrma’s 🤷🏻‍♂️ can’t wait to see the destruction that happens when real drivers put it to the test because I’m not gonna buy one. If they wanna give me one 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ll trashas it for an honest review

[@ExocagedRC]

Dang buddy, you got fries to go with all that salt? 😂 I doubt this chassis will bust up like you say, it’ll flex of course but if it’s like the Xmaxx, it’ll be tough. You do realize they build the driveline with chassis flex accounted for right?

[@RC_Berserker]

@@ExocagedRC sure do, buddy! French cries coming right up! Chassis flex and classy slap are two different things. If I barely even bump that driveshaft plate on my Xtrash, the driveshaft bends. I was right when I assumed about the sledge “that motor mount looks like trash and the chassis will bend” I’m sure this thing will need 90% of the Trashas replaced to be a solid rig too 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jasonkraus7442]

I'm looking forward to the release and getting one of my own. I want the sinister looking Red and Black one. BUT I hope they did away with the chinese monkey metal that plagued the Sledge, EXO. Traxxas needs to give you an XRT to test and give your HONEST opinion about. We always appreciate your honest opinion; it may be the only reason I hold out... waiting for the honest opinion of yourself, Earl Moorhead, and Guy from RC Guy Garage. I trust your opinions
