Traxxas Xmaxx VS Kraton 8s EXB!

[@jeremypaone3352]

Dude this video was next level! The slow mo shots and different angles really made it a great watch. I'm loving my Kraton 8s if I can only keep it in one piece after each bash session. Keep em coming Homie🤘

[@thunderrc]

I truly appreciate that, bro! This video was so much fun to make!🚀⚡️🔥🔥🏆🏆⚡️

[@LAWRENCEJMSIGUA]

Awesome video and comparison of the Kings of Monster trucks. I think the Kraton did better in the air due its low profile. But the XMAXX was a totally beast on the sand. I would definitely own both if I had the money. Thank you for sharing your wealth of RC knowledge.

[@Xjeepguy]

I can’t believe that K8 held up! Mine used to break if you look at it wrong. That’s the reason I sold it. Loved driving it, but got tired of replacing shock shafts, arms, chassis, etc. From personal experience, I say the Xmaxx is the bashing king. All day.

[@thunderrc]

The xmaxxs will always win in Bashing! Yes, if you don’t land in Kraton, right, it will break instantly.🚀⚡️😱😱🔥🔥

[@jameswright5572]

Great vid. Just got my 8s Kraton a few weeks ago. Had it out at the motocross track a few times and loads of speed runs around the shop after work. Love it.

[@thunderrc]

Thanks brother! Yeah man the Kraton 8s is a fun rig! 💪⚡️⚡️⚡️🏆🏆

[@Stonew24]

Great video. Two of the bashing kings. The kraton with a big power plant is just so much fun to drive. Absolute beast!

[@jz64]

Amazing video as usual Thunder RC is by far my favorite RC channel it's very exciting.

[@thunderrc]

That means a lot to me man! Thank you so much for your support, and watching, as always!💯👍🏆⚡️⚡️⚡️

That small xmaxx mod really woke it up . Great vid thunder!👍🏼

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

Awesome video bro. Fun watch! Both cars did amazing.

[@thunderrc]

Thanks so much brother these cars did absolutely amazing out there!

[@user-rx8qq8sk9ydv1ce5ib]

Amazing video. Thanks for sharing. Wish you have a video for udr vs Mohave too. Please also it would be nice to mention in future videos which one seems more durable and which one requires less upgrades .. I just want to play with it out of the box , can’t afford fixing and upgrading. Thanks

[@thunderrc]

Thank you so much for watching and your support! I will try to make those things happen in the future bro🔥⚡️🚀💯🏆🏆

[@cjchannel12RC]

Cool comparison, I have now owned 2 X-Maxxes i got my 2nd one last Friday used in a trade for my Sledge, 4-Tec 2.0 and 2nd and last 2wd Slash. I ran my new to my X-Maxx this afternoon at my neighborhood green belt and it dominated the green belt it drove really well.

[@thunderrc]

Yes, the xmaxxs. Awesome I just love that truck!

[@cjchannel12RC]

@@thunderrc I love my X-Maxxs too that are my 2nd favorite all time electric RC car. And i like the Kraton 8s too but i was kind of driven away from wanting one cause of Kevin Talbot.

[@Last-Lap-Lando4]

Bro, ur car control is insane. 💪

[@mac37j]

Are either of these two trucks getting updated from the manufacturer soon???

[@thunderrc]

I surely hope so!

[@readeracingRC]

I would have to agree with J Cook. I have both Kraton and Outcast. Outcast was bought for

[@jagergerg9771]

Are these Kraton tires better then stock Xmaxx tires. I’ve been wanting to do the conversion for my Xmaxx

[@thunderrc]

They hold up really good. I like to start a Kraton tires.

[@sickduck66]

What would you guys recommend? The K8 or the X Maxx? Looking to buy asap

[@thunderrc]

I like them both! Get both if you can!

[@killabky118]

If the X-MAXX had an 1100kv Max5 it wouldn’t be a contest. Mine with that setup is ballistic..! Regardless, both trucks are great. Great work with the editing, the beach footage is mind blowing..!!

[@thunderrc]

Yes, this is very true. Thank you so much for your input and feedback. Thanks again for watching!

[@SVTBansheeman]

Can you elaborate on the 1100kv max 5 makes it better? I am thinning abiut getting an xmaxx later this year. I'm just here to learn. Thank you.

[@joshuacook4955]

Kraton/outcast all day long. Especially when Horizon has their Black Friday deals.

[@rcprescription]

I agree!

[@bryanspanjer3213]

Deals plus freedom of batteries and electronics!

[@rcprescription]

@@bryanspanjer3213 yep… I agree

[@thehomefront1905]

Man you crazy as hell, xmaxx is no1 in the rc world, man you been hiding under a rock man, you need open your eyeball brother

[@G__Mason]

Yeah but which one? 😂 I’m debating between them both right now lol. Already have an Xmaxx and my buddies got the XRT so don’t want one of those. I initially thought Kraton but now I’m debating lol

[@j2kinflarc768]

I love my 6s Kraton. Probably the only reason I haven’t bought an Xmax after watching your videos 😂

[@thunderrc]

Yes, the crate and success is a beast. Love that truck!

[@3SonsRC]

I know this is am older one, but for this bash especially the Kraton whooped that TraxA$$ all day! Don't get me wrong, love my XMaxx for Durability, bad landings, and smiles.... But this wasn't close.... At least THIS video. Bash on brother

[@thunderrc]

Thanks my brother! Yeah, the Kraton definitely outperform the xmaxxs in this video! It went way higher did more flips and rip the beach out better🚀⚡️⚡️🔥🏆🏆

[@terryryan2112]

Great video I have the kraton and the outcast 8s Stupid question why put just paddle tires on the rear and not on the front as well

[@Antykain]

Lookin' at picking up a Traxxas MAXX or ARRMA Kraton 6S.. kinda torn between the 2 atm. Opinions?

[@thunderrc]

Both cars are awesome. The max will win and durability every time but the crate and success flies and drives way better!

[@CM-ig2pf]

Awesome stuff buddy! 👍👍😁😎✌️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️💥💥

[@thunderrc]

Thanks my brother!🚀⚡️🔥🏆🏆

[@lonewolf6169]

brotha that’s is a real match!! the x maxx is a true beast! i got almost same configuration on my EXB! i hope you made very soon King kraton🦍 vs Kraken vesla🦑 now this is a monster match!!

[@thunderrc]

Yes, I will have to do a Kratin versus Vesla video in the future that would be amazing! Thank you so much for your support and watching, as always!

[@anthonyjones3345]

Good video! Thanks for making it.

[@jeromelegrec]

beautiful 🤩 have you ever put a Hobbywing 1100kv on your X-Maxx? Mine has 1100kv and Max5 with module 1.5 in 35/16 🤗

[@thunderrc]

Thank you, brother! Yes, I have put 1100 KV motor in my X max with the MTC motor mount. I did not like it because the truck to be a lot heavier and I had a lot of breakages.😱🔥⚡️⚡️🏆🏆

[@donniemarks94]

Kraton 6s is one of my all time favorite RC’s would love to pick up an 8s

[@thunderrc]

Yes, the kraton 6s and 8s are masterpieces!🔥⚡️🏆🏆⚡️

[@EJ-74]

I'd have to go with the Kraton far as handling etc but for bashing the XMAXX RULES 🔥

[@achraff9748]

Thunder rc is the best 💯💥💥💚

[@thunderrc]

Love you bro! Thank you so much!

[@tripletrc5654]

Honestly I've said this before many times. If Traxxas would make rollers so I didn't have to buy there electronics I would say there really close. But having to spend the extra few hundred on a xmaxx then buy the electronics and few other tidbits for upgrades just doesn't make sense to me. I love my Xmaxx but the Kraton is just so much more fun for me to drive absolutely beast. Great vid thunder.

[@thunderrc]

Yes, very true. It would be nice to Traxxas XRT roller for the xmaxxs.

[@rcstringuss]

Kraton 💪🏼👍🏻😜

[@TheAurabell]

great video !

[@gratefuldabs9775]

Gotta have both I guess. I just have an outcast 8s with a xlx2 and a 1100kv but sure would like to have em all 😄

[@thunderrc]

That is the best answer. I’ve heard all day! Thank you so much for watching!🔥⚡️🏆🏆⚡️

[@2007CHANCHO]

Dude you can freestyle like nobody I’ve ever seen! And yeah over all my vote goes to x-max. I own both.

[@jacobhenson3952]

Nice bro. I don’t see non M2C stuff anymore did they make u mad ?

[@thunderrc]

M2C on the Xmaxxs really doesn’t work. It makes the truck way too heavy and because of that you have a lot of breakages.

[@thunderrc]

I don’t promote products for nothing in return. The parts are great but they are not needed on any truck. My target sponsorship is actually rc car brands. I am more interested in getting actual cars free rather than just a few measly parts. I am sponsored by Kraken RC now and they are awesome! 🔥⚡️🏆🏆🏆

Great video bud

[@JVGmidi]

I would go for the kraton. But I have a losi 8ight and a corally Kronos.

[@aliasangelalias]

It seem you change the Xmaxx characteristics too much to be a fair fight. Then again, the Kraton seem such a beast with the bigger motor too. I thought this is a battle right out of the box.

[@lilherb3864]

Kraton 8s all day if I had to pick one..

[@thunderrc]

Yes absolutely

[@curtisanderson9025]

Kraton all day! The wheelbase and suspension is just far more superior!

[@rcprescription]

Yep!… kraton all day! I don’t own an Xmaxx so to be fair I may need to buy one!… lol

[@thunderrc]

The Kraton 8days is an amazing machine! The xmaxxs is awesome!

[@olafstrand9965]

Kraton is kang! Stock vs stock didn't last long, it never does. The plastic one falls apart too fast and needs upgrades to keep it going.

[@CindyCThys]

Kraton wins to me. More planted Kraton has so much more wait to it wich gives it a disadvantage but still out proforms the xmax

[@thunderrc]

The crate and definitely flies and drives better, but I have to give durability to the Xmaxxs every day!

[@bennyeick4383]

Kraton

[@jz64]

I would take the xmax the looks are there the out of control tearing up the sand it's just a exciting rc truck. The Kraton is awesome but it seems to effortless for it driving on the sand it don't look as fun..

[@Victic005]

My favorite vehicle is the Kraken vekta .5. It's cheaper than the Five-T.

[@Soilhalo77]

Well no upgrades on K8,completely stock as u said but u did multiple mods to Xmaxx so not really fair! For stock u have to give it to the K8, how can u not? U did say at beginning of vid that they were going to be running stock but then immediately said u did the drive shaft in Xmaxx, then went back and did more mods. K8 has to take win for just the basis of of the vid

[@thunderrc]

The Kraton, a desk was basically stock minus the motor and ESC. It had a very powerful set up. Where is the xmaxxs only had a hobbywing Max 6 Esc. The only mods I did to the xmaxxs with change the gearing, that’s it.
