Traxxas Maxx Vs. Rustler 4X4 VXL

In this video, we have the Traxxas MAXX and Rustler 4x4 VXL going head to head in a series of challenges! We decided to skip the wheelie competition, and we didn’t use every attempt in each competition because either we didn’t need to or the car wasn’t able to do it. Comment who you think won each competition, and who won overall!
In an upcoming video, we will have RedLeader run the MAXX and Bandit run the Rustler 4x4 VXL, with some new twists on challenges!

I give this to the Rustler guys. The Maxx does great donuts, gets great air on the jumps but….Rustler has such a better turn radius which really helps during off-road racing.

[@redbanditracing]

We will be doing another Maxx Vs Rustler but changing up the challenges. Each car has their strengths, so leave a comment what you’d like to see us perform. Thank you all for watching and supporting us.

Rustler won speed and stability but maxx won on ever jump and donut. They tied on bicycle

[@lahoppa2054]

Tryin to play dirty at the end of the second round Bandit? Take out the competition

[@darinmx468]

I would give it to the maxx It could handle the donut much better, it bycicled really good, and it's so easy to flip and jump

[@YaBoiWolf_YT]

Bro these guys need more subs

[@redbanditracing]

Thank you for watching!

[@LilBITRC_Shady]

Gotta do more jumping challenges

[@waltergleaton7654]

Two great rc but wrong match up should been max and hoss truck.and rustler 4×4 got bang up the match was over the max had the uper hand

[@LilBITRC_Shady]

The Rustler would of easily beat the Hoss man. The Rustler is crazy fast and light on 3s. I wanna see a rematch

[@redbanditracing]

The Hoss isn’t a match for Rustler, the Maxx is much bigger but isn’t as quick.

[@waltergleaton7654]

That's why I said it should been max vs hoss truck. I like rustler 4×4 it's better racer in dirty then max the rustler 4×4 I put against the Sledge all day I have rustler 4×4 and it do 70 mph on 3s

[@LooseBikersTM]

Great comparison guys! Which tires do you use with the rustler? And do you have the extreme heavy duty kit?

[@redbanditracing]

Both are using Sledgehammer tires, lots of grip. The rustler has the stock suspension. We are upgrading to the extreme kit. Thank you

[@LooseBikersTM]

@@redbanditracing thank you, With the sledgehammer have you got any problems of motor heating or other?

[@redbanditracing]

@@LooseBikersTM The Rustler has a heat sink with a fan, and still gets warm if ran hard. The Maxx has never gotten too warm on us. If you gonna use the sledgehammer tires on the Rustler just gear down on the pinion. That will help with keep it from getting warm.

Interesting video. So, you're saying the WIDEMaxx would still be as flippy in the turns and not very stabile? I have a Rustler 2WD and have contemplated the WIDEMaxx for my first 4X4 truck. Got thoughts? What's your thoughts when throwing the Hoss into the equation? Please share. Thank you for your time and the video. Stay safe out there!

[@redbanditracing]

The WIDEMaxx is definitely more stable but being a taller truck, it still tends to flip over on turns more than the Rustler 4x4. The Hoss is definitely similar to the MAXX but hoss is practically a smaller and weaker Maxx, but hoss is definitely an amazing truck

[@flhandster4395]

@@redbanditracing Hmmm. So, how much more stable is the Rustler 4X4 than the Rustler 2WD?

[@redbanditracing]

Rustler 4x4 is definitely more stable with the front tires gripping

[@flhandster4395]

@@redbanditracing Cool. Good to know. 😎👍🏼

[@nathanpablo2402]

great comparison, what wheels/tires do you guys have on that rustler?

[@redbanditracing]

Stock tires are the Talons, but we’re using Sledgehammers. They last a long time, and grip well.

Consider voice overs without a lapel mic.

[@redbanditracing]

I personally did not like how that video turned out, since then we’ve started using BT mics. We also just got the GoPro Hero 11 and the sound quality is so much better. Thank you for the comment, I’ll check out those mics. Did you have one in mind?

[@JLNYardBird]

@@redbanditracing no idea what to use. I was trying to listen at work and had to stay on top of the volume.

[@MineCraftPickAxeXL9]

If you dont break parts are you really testing the durability?

[@redbanditracing]

This was one of our older videos, and we didn’t full on bash these two trucks. But yes, not breaking anything during a durability test is a pass. That wouldn’t make any sense that something must break during a durability test.
