Traxxas Slash 4x4 and Arrma Senton 4x4 Comparison

[@nikhilbhatt9114]

You will be more impressed with the brushless Arrma 3s models than the brushed models IMO. Those will hit shops in a few weeks

[@davewbpd1]

Compare traxxas ultimate vs senton 3s blx

[@yonicozac]

Don’t buy the brushed. Only the brushless. It has metal adjustable turnbuckles and better spur and slipper. A wonderfully designed platform overall

[@carlosmartinez-ru5me]

Get the Arrma Typhon 3S brushless, a true rc car beast. I own 6 Traxxas rc cars and I prefer my Arrma collection. I have the Big Rock, Typhon and Senton. I did own a Kraton, which I drove into the ground. The Kraton was my favorite RC Car of all time. However, my current favorite RC car is the X Maxx......just so much fun to drive and bash (I mean crash into things LOL).

[@nikhilbhatt9114]

You need to get the brushless typhon and Arrma 3S models

[@SuperSodrak]

I agree. It might be my next car and the more review I see, the more I want one.

[@Speedracer50]

i agree but wait for the V3

[@yoyoboy0617]

Amen

[@yoyoboy0617]

Amen

[@wendyon4517]

Arrma people don't want to hear about brushed ARRMA RC. WAIT for the new ARRMA brushless 3s to come to market. You'll piss too many off if you buy an Arrma that doesn't represent anything current or brushless. Buy what you want but expect comments to praise ones you didn't buy. People seem to like all the brushed 3s RC.

[@heinrichrygaard3646]

What Cars are they driving in the background?looks interesting to use in the livingroom😊

[@bapasrcadventures3619]

They all come in the 3s platform. So get a 3s! The senton does go 60 mph on 3s out of the box. I love mine. Yes get one and try it.

[@Matt_5634]

You should get the arrma typhoon. I'm getting one too for Christmas 2020.

[@njschannel3719]

Hope u do I am getting g traxxas slash

[@jwoverpowereverythingrc9577]

Get 3s brushless senton or any brushless arrma, fairly cheap hard to break, axles screws do back out .but don't break .my hoss axles broke second run ,but I did expect they would.

[@DLAdventures2]

the closest hobby shop to us has transitioned from mostly Traxxas stuff to mostly Arrma and Axial stuff. I do not know if it was an issue with supply, but the hobby shop guys liked the Arrma stuff better, or so they said. I have not had an Arrma product, but have seen several run in the Novice class at the track and the RTR stuff breaks on a 1/8 track just as much as a stock Traxxas does. If I started mixing brands I would have to standardize on a battery connector so that I could use common batteries between them.

[@bradtate158]

What would you suggest for a beginner rc car?

[@jasonwilliams74]

My wife has a Senton 3s 4x4 and it is the business! I had to upgrade my stock slash 4x4 heavily just to catch up

[@phillipgrisafe4554]

What was that big truck next to the Maxx that was red and white?

[@sleepyheadfpv1507]

You should get the felony or Infraction?

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

Mark did you ever do that driving comparison between the Senton Mega and the Slash brushed 4x4? Super interested in seeing that!

[@mitchcoin7700]

Hi !! I am newto all of this racing Haven`t got a vehicle YET !!! You didn`t answer question previous video that i watched of many you did . I understand about the transponder counts your laps, But what happens when car flips over a barrier and puts you ahead of the other racers .Is there a penalty or some thing?? Thanks

[@kinetic40]

If you decide to get a Typhon, might as well go all out and get the 6S BLX version!

[@allenross2121]

The brushless typhon 3s is a beast. My favorite Arrma by far.

[@jimleblanc381]

Mark I need some advice. I traded for a rustler 2wd but it needs chassis front end stuff and rear end shocks are shot so it needs those. Should I just buy new are can I rebuild it for less money?

[@Iinustechtips]

Should I buy the senton mega or the slash 2wd? please I'm new to this hobby

[@p4rty60y]

get the typhon 3s blx v3, dont get any mega. looks like old granite not the v3?

[@AQucsaiJr]

I would love to see what a good 1/8 buggy racer can do with the 6S Typhon!!

[@elvatocarlitos2858]

Hey mark can u do a video on the beat affordable replacement wheels buggys, 4x4s, etc...

[@JFlyer1973]

I do want to see side by side performance comparison between Slash & Senton. Whether brushed or brushless. I have the 2wd brushed Slashes(Kids each have one). Couldn’t afford brushless at the time. They’ll get brushless set ups soon. But I am real curious to see how Senton and Slash compare on the track Box Stock. DO IT

[@B1S1O]

is it possible that charging the stock battery contained in the package takes a long time? mine has been charging for almost 10 hours and the green LED on the wall charger of the package never came out but it always remained red; normal?

[@davidtruelove5022]

If you get an Arrma get anything from the 3s BLX line, the brushed mega line is slow and it’s hella expensive to upgrade to brushless

[@pjromero9002]

U should review the Senton v3 brushless

[@RobertNES816]

You'll like the Arrma Senton 4x4 it handles better then the Slash does out of the box and the electronics are of better quality on the newer ones. Also adjusting the slipper clutch is way easier on the Arrma. The motor and slipper come out as one unit instead of taking the whole back end off the slash to make a simple adjustment.

[@nismoskyline06]

I would stay away from Arrma’s 3S line up until their recent upgrades have been proven to fix the problems they had , leaky shocks , spur gears chewing themselves up, brittle a arms, sloppy steering, I had a Typhon 3S and a Senton mega I got rid of them.

[@ochikas6317]

I also got a mini z F1 but having trouble getting parts

[@BankDebits]

Hey man do you know what happened to dromida

[@emryscass7327]

I ordered the Typhon 3s V3 model, but won't get it until late September. Stoked!

[@slimfatpat]

How about the proline pro fusion sc. That thing is a beast.

[@sooup686]

Could u pls make a remake vid on nitro vs electric voicing ur opinion and what your currently using and what you’ll be using long term... pros and cons of both. I’m just stuck in a loop right now trying to get into this hobby and I don’t know what I like more

[@goofy_nate]

Could u put a slash body on a arma senton I think its the same body shape

[@MrRedcain]

Buy the 6s version of the Typhon, you can always run it on 4s, brushless all the way if you can still find a SENTON 6s get it , its a beast , Arrma is killing it again this year, Just got a Losi Lazzwernut U4.

[@spinster4000]

Yes the arma typhon 550 is a fantastic little 1/8 buggy. It was my first car and right now I have it converted to a brushless and I love it, it’s fast stock and it has 3 speed modes. My brushless version now goes 50 mph, would highly recommend it for anyone wanting a first car and or someone who wants an upgrade project since it’s the easiest Car I have ever worked on. (Worked on an Xmaxx, Kraton and losi buggy’s)

[@blackdogrc2125]

if you are even considering it then get a 3s blx. But make sure you get the V3.

[@rcjoe406]

Get the 3s v3 version if you get any of them

[@Manatarms25]

We have a 1/8 scale outdoor track, just picked up a timing system and started some organized racing this year. I have been been racing a Talion and Typhon 6S. Upgrades radio/servo of course and tuned for racing. They are surprisingly very good on the track with the proper set up. I am normally 1-2 laps on the field in a 10 min main still. I’m debating on some off season upgrades or just getting a Tekno now. Most of the guys have changed over to TLR, Mugen and Tekno now. I would love to hear your thoughts of a Typhon 6S on a track.

[@KnoVic0617]

maxx, mt410, pro-mt, hoss and granite, which one do you guys recommend?

[@Jackalbert05gt]

Maxx or hoss

[@xWORLDxCHAMPIONx]

How do you find R/C bashing events? That sounds like a blast!!

[@MarkSmith-nh3jq]

I would like to see videos on the brushless Typhon and senton.

[@Shellbackrc]

Comparing both brushed models makes perfect sense most parents will start their kids off with brushed rtr's anyways.

[@nobodynoone3428]

What you don't understand Mark, is that it's very cool for Arrma to make multiple rcs from essentially the same chassis or an identical chassis. It's only a bad thing when Traxxas does it, even when they change it more. You'll learn this eventually.

[@TELLZ.]

Do the slash vs senton challenge on track I just bought the arrma senton 4x4 blx for racing this year!

[@MrtipRC]

Drop in a hobbywing max10 combo for $100 , you will be happy and very satisfied . The brushed models are all set up for brushless. I currently own the Senton v3 and Granite v3 . Way better versions than previous .

[@jamesbrooker6508]

Just got a brushed Senton v3 what max10 combo shall I go for? All holding up well?

[@benjaminrosich]

Try out the 3S Typhon, which is brushless, to see how it does.

[@svpracer98]

I started with traxxas back in 2016. I just got an arrma senton and almost immediately wished I had went with them first. To be fair to traxxas, they definitely had more of the market back when I was first looking.

[@numberoneemployee]

I have a arrma senton and im not impressed its super durable but it burns up motors really fast its really anoyying please tell me anything that might help

[@andrewkelly3702]

You should get a 6s Armma and put a m2c chassis and you have a ripper

[@daviddobson20]

You need to do the 3s arrma model

[@james-dt4ei]

Arrma definitely better. I was all traxxas for many many yrs now arrma has stepped up and made amazing cars trucks and more there amazing.

[@curbdog808]

I would say, don’t get the brushed Typhon. I have one, I love it, but it is an entry level Rc and I am a noob. You don’t need one. Get the Senton tho. I want to see your thoughts on it.

[@ccrum32]

You mean the brushless senton I am guessing?

[@shanemcclain8562]

I have a 3s typhon and it's awesome handles amazing and I made it even better by making it 4s and widening it with Kraton 4s arms and other parts

[@gbessette40]

Arrma is awesome but don't bother with the mega versions just pickup the BLX versions. They will have the Brushless systems and things like the adjustable turnbuckles and better parts, etc... Make sure for the 3s and 4s line that you pickup the V3 with the new spectrum radio!

[@alexp6409]

Not too interested in the brushed Arrma stuff, but I would be interested in a comparison of the Granite BLX and the Hoss...*EDIT* on second thought it would be cool to see a comparison of the brushed Slash 4x4 and the brushed Senton 4x4 to see if they perform as comparably as they look.

[@JTB75]

Hey Mark have you ever tried out anything by red cat racing. I’m 45 and have had R/Cs for a lot of my life, my 1st car was the gold chassis RC10, and my 2nd and still probably my all time favorite was the Team Lois JRX2. The last R/Cs that I owned were a couple Team Losi XXX/NT, I thought I really had to have a nitro car to have a fast car, after many of frustrating nights and many expensive trips to the hobby store I retired from the RC game about 2010. With nothing but time on my hands in March- May I got bored and rejoined the hobby with a RedCat Racing Landslide XTE which is a RTR 1/8 scale 4s 4x4 monster truck. I bought everything through amazon because everything local was closed, I got the RTR truck, which is basically truck and radio, I bought a HTRC T240 DUO charger and 4 ZEee 2s batteries and a Zeee fire proof battery bag all for just under $500. This has probably been the best $500 that I have spent in years. The truck is fast to me for out of box stock, it’s really easy to work on, parts seem to be easy to get and fairly cheap. When I was originally looking I wanted the RedCat Kaiju but were sold out everywhere and is $100 more and is a 6s truck. Overall I’m very happy with the truck and excited about the hobby and amazed how easy everything is to use compared to my original RC10 day and Nitro days. I also wanted to say that me stumbling onto your channel is what made me wanting to try the R/C world again and I’m starting to look into buying another car but not sure what. I really enjoy your channel and I like that this is a family thing for you guys. Thanks for letting me hog some of your time. JASON

[@ghpjerry]

I'm 49 & just got back into RC about 3 yrs ago. I too started with a "TA Gold Chassis" back in the early 90's...a buddy bought 1 & as soon as I drove it, I was hooked, went out & bought 1. Got out of it a few yrs later, wish I had never given that car away, I had so many motors. lol. Anyway, when I thought about getting back into it I did alot of research, thank God for the internet, but after many months of researching, I settled on the Traxxas Slash 4x4 Ultimate & I haven't regretted it one bit. I'm looking to buy another one in the near future, I love Traxxas but I'm thinking of an Arrma Typhon. Good luck with your next purchase & have fun.

[@BankDebits]

Red cats are junk.

[@EXTREMERC416]

Buy the senton mega its already brushless ready on the v3 exept the clutch btu it will still work on brushless

[@jameshankssr466]

I would take any arrma over any traxxas over priced garbage any day

[@jamesconley297]

If your going to try one then get the new EXB model it’s upgraded out of the box and you add your electronics and motor so you could go with a brushed or brushless setup or do both.

[@imcayotix1765]

i definitely recommend trying the arrma stuff, the shop i work at sells a lot of both and arrma’s brushed/3s platform comes in WAY less often than their traxxas counterparts. they’re built beefier but they are sadly a bit harder to do maintenance on

[@MatrixRC]

Trust me you will appreciate how the Arrma's handle and perform.👍🏼💯 Brushless

[@backyardr.c.channel4732]

Would love to see you do a comparisons v.s. the Granite blx 3s brushless vs the new Traxxas Hoss!

[@rcaddictive8572]

I was debating on getting the typhoon, but parts availability is holding me back. Especially where I live 😪

[@Andrew-hh3ol]

Don’t get one it has drivetrain issues, there’s better options but not at the price

[@Andrew-hh3ol]

If I was you I’d save up for a better car are you into racing or bashing?

[@feelgooddany]

Love mine typhoon !! No isseus here 🚗💨

[@Andrew-hh3ol]

FeelGood Dany i know a couple people who bought them in my neighborhood and we’re infuriated, they quality is super inconsistent

[@feelgooddany]

@@Andrew-hh3ol on youtube I saw some proplems tho with EXB but personal I (knock on wood) had no probs so far .. i had only isseus with traxxas

[@wolfgangcomacho]

I was all set to buy an Arrman Granite BLX, but went with Traxxas because the customer support is second to none

[@chasemoulden1159]

Can you buy the The armor

[@thizzobishi]

I was looking for this exact video last night clearly I was just ahead.

[@Nolimit.j5]

Hey the tiphon gots the same set up as my senton

[@ochikas6317]

I am more of a traxxas RC type but for the reason that you say that's what's in my area part availability and customer service is awesome. also been looking into other brands instead of getting the stampede I been thinking about getting the granite 4×4 brushless v3

[@minermega2247]

I have a granite blx and senton mega, the senton was converted to brushless, they are both beasts

[@Gervisj]

Go with the brushless Typhon 3S BLX (brushless). I did change out the servo and radio/receiver. It is even better. I will take it to the track, once my tires are in.

[@user-ou9jx9hu8f]

Love your videos! The brushless 3s arrma alot of fun!

[@Basshertz13]

I have a 4wd slash which was my first sct. Next for me is probably the slash 2wd bandit armed street race car 🏎 I think that will use up some spare time. I’d like to see you build a streetcar

[@mauriciobuitragoosorio230]

Is best Arrma granite voltage 2wd

[@johnmiller4553]

Great Comparison SMASHED !!!!!!!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@Kevin-Kx]

Arrma Typhon 3S BLX version is a must! Such an awesome thing

[@SpeedSyko]

OH COOL! I was disappointed! I thought you left empty handed?! Can’t wait to see what you bought!

[@jackjax801]

Try an Arrma, but skip the brushed and go for a 3s (BLX) version. Any style (granite, Senton, typhon or big rock crew cab) would be nice to see on your channel. Keep up the good work! Love your channel.

[@exernal8969]

i see all these comments about how you should get the brushless instead of the brushed but i literally cant afford the brushless because shipping and i cant get any traxxas models because they dont ship outside ireland

[@oldnotwise71]

Love your videos, but why don't you wait and compare the new Arrma 3s brushless models to the Traxxas models.... I think that it would be way more fun for you and all of your viewers.

[@nicolasdemichieli]

Slash 4x4 vxl Vs Senton 4x4 on the track will be nice!!

[@jrstriker12]

If you look at the Typhon, try the Typhon 6s / Brushless version.

[@jarrettford7090]

Get the arrma 3s or 4s i have the Kraton 4s and that thing is crazy fast. My brother just got the Typhon brushed and it’s not to bad just can’t mess with set up much. But new tie rods and a brushless system and you got a 1/8th E buggy for around 3 something

[@tustlerrc8190]

Ik im late but... I would go with the typhon 3s BLX because if you try to put brushless in the typhon 2s you will have major gear problems

[@ScottJohnson-tf6tg]

All the brushed version are terrible. The electronics are trash, esc overheats in just two battery packs (stock included batt) and motor burnt out in a week. I ended up putting the traxxas titan motor and esc from the slash units in. After that no issues since. I love the body styles tho

[@ScottJohnson-tf6tg]

A.few other issues. Quality control, there is none. Poor alignments, wrong parts. Example; my typhon had 3 front shocks! No joke BUT on the other hand. Their service department is awesome! They sent me all new replacement unit for all my issues by the next week.

[@wgmainline9812]

I had the Arrma Senton and a few Slash models. On a dirt track the Slash is way better. It handles better the suspension handles the bumps and jumps better. That's just my opinion. All three Arrma's I have/had also seem to stall when you first take off. Changed out the radios and it's still cogging. Gonna try a motor and ESC change next. That pressed shock you talked about kept popping out on my Senton. Replaced twice in a month. Arrma is also heavier than the others. I have the Big Rock and the Granite with some Badlands and I love the Granite!! The Granite is definitely one of my favorites. Ended up selling the Senton. Can't wait to get a Hoss though!!!! I'd like to try a 6s Kraton to compare with my Erevo 2.0 someday. Arrma has good products at good pricing. Maybe some ESC, motor and radio improvements and they'd be better in my opinion. Me personally I like Traxxas products the best. They're smoother, quieter, better electronics, handle better and really the rest is just plastic!!! I'm no expert but this is just my experience with them.

[@toddlisby1018]

I bought the Typhon 4x4 Mega and after the 1st run I upgraded it to a brushless system. Go brushless for sure.

[@stack8778]

Good comparison Mark , but in all reality I don’t think you should waste your money on the brushed units, if anything buy the brushless 3s or 6s Typhon and then see how it handles on the track compared to the units you run , and I’m only saying this because the brushed are obviously pretty slow and for someone as experienced as you I think it’s a waste of your time and money, but definitely the brushless would be something you should buy and it’ll be way more enjoyable on the track or just about anywhere !! Keep up the Great Work and Vids !! Stay and Play Safe !! 👍✌️

[@Basshertz13]

I say no on the brushed Typhon stick with what works you already race the best. I would like to see a comparison on the slash brushless and Senton brushless.

[@joshuaparkin1933]

Agreed. That would be the best comparison to do.

[@steveadams8017]

Get the Arrma Typhon 6s v4... I have one and it's a beast!

[@frankensteincreations4740]

Big Rock 3s V3. No one has a video of it yet.

[@wheeliboy27]

Traxxas is better. And more reliable. And u can upgrade things. Who cares how much more or cost. It is still with it. Don't worry I am not a hater on Arrma's part.

[@nunocarneiro464]

You can upgrade the arrmas too, the thing is you don't need to, the only traxxas i buy are the trx, everything else is outclassed by other brands and for less money too

[@rc_teo_nade_216]

If you are going to get the typhoon get the brushless version

[@fishininjun]

I think it's worth it, to compare the models and then prices. ex. like you said side-by-side brushed slash v senton. but then also, brushed slash v senton 4x4 3s because they are the same price. and then further up, if you want. slash ultimate v Arrma 6s lineup

[@wyattgarrett9481]

You should get a arma buggy to see what it can do one the track

[@rcmiamimozzy1210]

I vote no on the mega and yes get the BLX version. Big difference

[@thecman26]

Hell yeah! Get one and throw it on the track for a race night! No mods just as it ships. Let's see how they compare to true race bred buggies! Some hobby shops actually already have the Hoss! Gary in okc has em in stock!

[@rvnewby1455]

I have Traxxas and Arma. A Slash and a Senton. I like both vehicles but I like my Senton more. Actually the stock motor in the senton is pretty impressive. I think you will like the senton.

[@gamesystemchannel6864]

How much would you sell for a back wheel Traxxas offer price recommended going for it I'm trying to sell it but I don't know what a good offer would be if you can let me know that would be great I have you on my Facebook and you KZbin

[@Ronnaferd]

I almost pulled the trigger on a brushless Typhon....then went all in and got the E-Revo 2.0 to compliment my slash 4x4 :D

[@keithmcsorley5271]

get the Arrma 1/8 NOTORIOUS 6S BLX 4WD i have and its great fast and fun
