How about the Hoss and Rustler side by side comparison? Nice to see a real side by side of the Hoss and Stampede. Like you said the Maxx is it’s own beast of a 1/10 scale completely different than traxxas other 1/10 line up.

3 more differences not mentioned : The Hoss has a center diff instead of a clutch, The Hoss A-arms are the updated version and the drive shafts are seemingly twice the size. Add in the high torque-cooler running motor, higher traction larger high durability tires and a reinforced quick release body and 80 bucks price increase suddenly doesn't seem like much. Also just realized it has the better 2075 servo instead of the Stampede's 2056.

I have a LOT of traxxas models. Xmaxx, Maxx, Tmaxx(2.5&3.3), Emaxx, Revo(3.3&Vantage 3.3 racing version) eRevo 2.0, eRevo 1/16, Rustler 4x4 VXL, and Hoss. The Hoss is the biggest letdown I've ever had from Traxxas. The Rustler is one of my favorites, and the Hoss tries to turn a truggy platform into a truck, and fails. My Maxx has been one of the most indestructible RCs I've EVER owned. I've had crashes with the Maxx that made me look away in fear, and still it continues plowing through everything. The Hoss doesn't come close to the capabilities of the Maxx. That's what people will not know unless they truly bash the hell out of their cars. I don't mind breaking stuff...it's part of the hobby that I enjoy, but the Hoss breaks parts so easily, and the shocks are a complete joke. The shocks are fine for a dirt course car like a Rustler, but are horrible for a truck that is expected to take jumps. By the time you add any good parts to the Hoss, you are right there in price with a Maxx, and the Maxx will still dominate it even in stock form. Get the Maxx, and don't ever look back!

This comment and all subcomments are both useless and irrelevant. They're both overpriced. But, the Maxx requires new driveshafts and the wide kit and new hexes. The E-Revo is garbage, but it has steel dogbones (Finally!) and is (somewhat) ready for action. Maxx actually costs way more than it's worth. The proprietary servo size also makes things difficult. It's a 1/9 scale vehicle or a small 1/8. It's the exact size as an E-Maxx with a more efficient drivetrain and much better chassis. A good Maxx requires a few hundred bucks to be a good vehicle. DO NOT PURCHASE TRAXXAS BATTERIES! 100$ batteries do exist. They are referred to as 6S batteries. A good 2S costs 20-30$ and a good 3S costs 30-40$. This Hoss is what the Stampede 4x4 should have been for years, already. The price is steep, but you're getting a lot of vehicle. Cush-drive with steel spur, the body system, the slightly SLIGHTLY upgraded driveshafts, and it's still 10th scale. So, there's no reason to compare them, at all. It's comparing a 2cm-longer Stampede to an E-Maxx. A Hoss will be cheaper to maintain and can use 2.8 wheels/tires. It can also use the 81$ HobbyWing Max10 combos I have. (102$ regular price. Black Friday. HobbyWing Direct.) This Hoss can be built with a chassis and driveshaft swap to any Stampede, also. Get a short wheelbase 1/8 scale MT body with a 1.5mm thickness and use the body posts. You won't have the cush drive, but you'll have a more stable and better-looking Stampede.

But I really feel like the hoss is just an upgraded Stampede with a slash chassic. 🤔 Still waiting for someone to put the hoss next to a 4x4 slash. Traxxas pretty much just went through their parts bin and put this truck together. Thoughts?

I felt that way about the Maxx at first until you open it up, its one of the strongest RTR RC's any one could ever own. but, chinsy chassis, driveshafts, esc, and garbage stock shocks, for the Hoss!?

The honeycomb pattern in the Hoss chassis is for stiffening, not for looks. St4mpede is actually slightly wider than the Hoss. The extra height is just the body being jacked up too high, to make it look old school monster-truckish. The adjustable wheely bar of the St4mpede is always coming un-clipped on jump landings. I bet that's why they changed it for the Hoss. I just took mine off, as I have the clutch adjusted so it doesn't wheely anyway. That helped a bit with the rear weight bias and cleaned up the looks a LOT. Those Talon tires on the St4mpede are BAD. Original ESC and motor were not great either. My St4mpede now has a Castle SCT 4-pole 3800 motor with Hobbywing ESC and ProLine Masher tires and a vintage Chevy truck body. It is perfect now. I want to move it on, now that I've got a Maxx, but it is just SO dialed in and the Maxx is too plush. We'll see how I feel when I get Maxx dialed in with a bit stiffer springs and shock fluid. Shocks are too mushy for how fast the truck is. They're good at 20 mph, but not 40+. As for comparing Hoss vs. Maxx, you're right and you're wrong: Since they're close to the same price, you almost HAVE to compare them and let the chips fall where they may. As for the sturdiness of it, as you said, there is no comparison. One thing I don't like about the Hoss' platform design is the tiny little bearings that support the prop shaft; they burn up fast.

@@nobodynoone3428 I honestly think the Rustler 4x4, and Stampede 4x4 are a little overpriced too, to be honest.

At $480 (basically the same price as the Hoss), you get a 3mm aluminum chassis, big bore aluminum shocks, aluminum shock towers, a better motor, 4S capable, a center diff, metal geared servo, sway bar, LED lights...I mean, you're getting so much more for your money. Traxxas is still using those tiny, old, plastic shocks, and plastic geared servos....and charging nearly $500. Even the 4X4 BLX line from Arrma has big bore shocks, and metal geared servos...and they're nearly $200 cheaper.

@@mintysgarage8119 Lasernut is completely different and my pick personally over the hoss. Aluminum isn't always good though, especially for bashing, and losi parts tend to be more expensive as well as their rcs are more likely to get discontinued in a couple of years. The blx line seems solid but it's cheaper for good reason, more plastic, cheaper radio system, cheaper body etc will result in a lower price. The rustler seems to sell well and the hoss has some upgrades over it. A lower price would be nice, but I can understand the current one, even though I don't like the cost.

@@nobodynoone3428 I realize the Lasernut is a slightly different vehicle, but it's close enough....it also doesn't have to be the exact same, to compare value. You're simply getting WAY more for your money. And yes aluminum isn't alway better in certain areas, but it's in the right spots on the Lasernut. You say Losi tends to be more expensive, yet...the Lasernut is the same price as the Hoss. I think my point still stands. The Hoss is a 3S truck, with small shocks, a plastic geared servo...charging nearly 6S truck prices.

have you had any problems with the stampedes 4x4 gear box? i has the vxl 2 wheel drive and stripped the gears in a short amount of time, a month if i remember correctly.

You shouldn't be stripping any gears if the gear mesh is set correctly. I still have a plastic spur on my extremely upgraded two wheel drive Stampede with upgraded VXL ESC and motor and I still haven't stripped it.

why get a Hoss when you can get a Maxx for just a lil more money?? plus the Maxx is a beast! it can take a lot of beating before breaking something! don’t really know what Traxxas was thinking, we don’t really need the Hoss..

Traxxis always gives you inferior parts to make you upgrade. I say do it right the first time it's 2020. Btw the Bandit is the best as far as bashing with a castle motor and mombax ESC. Traxxis shocks stock hasn't changed in 25 years. But I expect high standards to come. Arma is owned by redline now so it's game on for Traxxis.

Why would you not just buy the Maxx for 50-70 more? I would hands down get the Maxx, but Im sure people will spend Crazy 480.00 for the Hoss.

Out of curiosity of what "Hoss" meant, so from what I'm reading it's a southern slang term for a big, strong and respected or dependable person, usually a man; one who is large like a horse. Honestly, I'd like to think it's more geared towards the meaning of "Big Strong Horse".

What's interesting, since the Hoss has a bigger motor, is that there's a motorcycle with a V8 engine called the Boss Hoss.

For the cost of a Hoss, you could almost get a Maxx, but for the cost of a Maxx you could almost get an Erevo. I kinda see a market for the Maxx, but the Hoss makes no sense. They should make a 1/6 scale Erevo.

I mean I love all three vehicles and I’m not trying to dog tracks us on this one but their pricing is ridiculous on this. The max should be the cost of the horse and for the pricing I would just buy stampede I just don’t see that much difference in it and for the price of the house I’m either going to spend a little extra money and get something 6S or I’m going to spend $300 and buy a new arrma Granite or big rock or wait a few months and wait for the new 4S lineup to come out from them. I love Traxxas as much as the next guy but they seriously have got to do something about their pricing versus what you get or they’re not going to be contenders in this game
