Who has the BETTER Truck? Arrma Mojave 4s or Traxxas Maxx Slash 6s

[@billreynolds2221]

One comment regarding the Arrma 4s Mojave. It’s the smoothest and mechanically quiet r/c short course truck I’ve ever run. I believe Traxxas makes fantastic r/cs. I own a the UDR and Slash and can’t find fault with either platforms. Great comparison video. You can’t go wrong with just about any r/c choice these days. We hobbyists are quite fortunate.

[@andyb9994]

I would agree, if you buy a hobby grade R/C you are getting a great R/C... Everything breaks at some point, just fix and run again!!!! 👍👍

[@highoffgunpowder]

@andyb9994 "at some point". You mean a couple hours after you get home from the hobby shop?

[@Hajile97]

That's why I watch your channel. These Arrma or everybody but Traxxas fan boys are childish as hell. If i don't like the price, I buy what's within my budget. Buy, run and enjoy what you like. Wasted energy trying to get someone else to hate Traxxas. It's a great platform and so is the ARRMA.

[@rctd3260]

Agreed man. Both brands are great for different reasons. I can’t stand the fan boys.

[@K5_RC]

I love Traxxas vehicles, I really like what I'm seeing with this new Maxx Slash, and one of my favorite trucks I've ever driven was my friend's XRT. But what's "childish" is spending $200 more to do the same thing. Whether it's in your budget or not. The 4S Mojave is just as tough, almost just as fast (or easily can be), handles better, and is $200 less. The Maxx Slash is definitely a badass truck. I'm probably gonna buy one regardless of price (like most of us), but comparing it to it's competition, it's overpriced for what you get. That's all we're saying

[@Boogie_the_cat]

All fanboys are childish, they're blinding themselves to two realities: 1) the mistakes their favorite company makes 2) the good things that the competition does Fanboys are unrealistic and it's embarrassing that grown men (or women) get so obsessed about a company that isn't their friend and isn't perfect.

[@TheDudeRc]

I really like your unbiased views on RC stuff. You look at the rigs themselves and not the brand name. We like what we like! I have tons of Arrmas and tons of Traxxas rigs and I like each for different reasons. Thanks again for what you do!

[@claytondelade1767]

Whichever one makes you smile more is usually the ONE!!!

[@JayTeeRC]

yes!

[@krlaturn]

The Arrma 4s vehicles have plastic drive trains. The machined steel gear drivetrain, beefier electronics, and belted tires warrant the price difference. I believe a comparison to the Mojave 6s would be more accurate

[@K5_RC]

The only plastic on the Arrma 4S drivetrain are the CVDs and center driveshaft. And both of which handle 6S power with zero problem. But yeah, the 6S is a better comparison. However won't be as tough because of it's weight (I'm speaking from experience 😂). I think Mojave 6S vs Maxx Slash, I'd go with the Slash But Mojave 4S vs Maxx Slash, I'm going with the Mojave. Does everything the Slash does, handles better, for $200 less

[@doityourselfrcdrew6807]

The Arrma 4s drivetrain is metal not plastic other than the cvds and the M Slash has the same for $200 more! There’s nothing on the Maxx Slash other than the wheels that says this is a $700 truck! Plastic hubs and hex’s, cheap shocks, under powered ESC, super weak servo and servo saver (which is why it rolls over so easily)! Not to mention they put 70+ mph on the box when everyone knows it can’t! At least the Mojave does what it’s advertised to do!

[@K5_RC]

@@doityourselfrcdrew6807 All 5 driveshafts and all 4 axles are plastic on the 4S. Unlike the 6S trucks. Much less reliable

[@chrisadams9548]

You’re welcome to run on my short course in Hoschton Ga. I pre-ordered mine yesterday from Hobby Town in Buford Ga yesterday. Support your local hobby stores! Going to race my buddies new Mojave 4S & a Traxxas UDR. Can’t wait for next Friday when I can pick it up. Great video as always!

[@247RC]

Sure thing Chris, can’t wait to run my brand new 4s Mojave up against the Max Slash on the track. It would be awesome to have Jaytee come race the track with us!

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

Sorry man, the price absolutely matters. Why not compare this to the Mojave 6S, which is ALSO cheaper than the Traxxas and runs the same batteries? This seems like a little copium huff for Traxxas fans.

[@kelly00000111111]

"copium huff" ill have to use that in the future lol

[@Hugo-py2ce]

Traxxas is just better period, you don't have to be a fan to see that. Just better quality.

[@K5_RC]

​@Hugo-py2ce Not really. They're about equal in terms of part quality. And the Arrma equivalent to everything Traxxas makes is significantly cheaper in price, more durable, and just as fast. (ie The Slash VXL vs Senton 3S, Hoss VXL vs Granite 3S, Sledge vs Kraton), the Arrmas are tougher, easier to work on, and significantly less money. I will say though: Traxxas 8S is better than Arrma 8S. Arrma 8S are too heavy in comparison and that leads to much more breakage. And Traxxas is slightly justified (like Jaytee said in this vid) to have the bigger price because of the clipless body and part support. But for what you get, they aren't worth it.

[@NewLifeeight]

The Traxxas

[@jonathanmcdonald5411]

I have to say, the Arrma is a better deal. It's just as fast, its durable and you only have one battery to deal with, so that's more money you save. I love my Traxxas rigs, but they are a little too pricy.

[@bobafett317]

Brother. Thank you. Please keep doing what you’re doing. This was the Camparison I was looking for. Great work as usual. My feeling is the arrma is the much better buy although I do love my slash ult.

[@LyroLife]

LOL, just cancelled my Traxxas Maxx Slash order. Did not know about the ARRMA one being this great for much cheaper. I am a traxxas fan, but it really makes no sense to get the Traxxas Short Course at this price 😅

[@EJ-74]

Glad you caught that and cancelled your order, the Mojave 4S is super smooth and much cheaper, You can get the 6S cheaper than the Slash also and it is an absolute beast, It's like the 4S Mojave on steroids. 😁

[@iprincemajestic2.0]

Thanks, Jaytee. I agree. So many complaints about the price. They probably could have easily charged more. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@pukeylukey2852]

I dont think that price is to high for this rig

[@SleekHobbies88]

Mojave definitely,all around,the slash definitely dont want Mojave 6s

[@TacticalJackalope]

I'm sorry but this is not a similar comparison. Clearly this was meant to compete with the 6S Mojave which is $649. Traxxas typically releases new vehicles at a higher price for the early adopters. Then usually in a year or less we will see a redution in price. I will guarantee you that this time next year this truck will be $649.

[@Hajile97]

I am sure Jaytee would be ok with you all doing your own content!

[@JayTeeRC]

💯

[@toksta79]

I'd get the Mojave if i had to choose one. Non parachuting in the air with the body and the fact it achieves the same speed on 4s as the maxx slash does on 6s. Lighter 4s battery is going to be better for bashing. Also the body and scale interior look better than the traxxas.

[@bryanhill1419]

And it rides better! On the track I think the Traxxas will shine

[@auxil47]

Not for nothing but two hundred dollars cheeper is a huge incentive, at least for me, thanks for the video.

[@shaunodriscoll]

Why aren’t you comparing it with the Mojave 6s? That would be more comparable!

[@lyricofwise6894]

[@ohboytv]

No it wouldn't. The Mojave would be too much better, it would be comparable

[@henriksrensen3220]

The Mojave 4s looks like it's more fun car to drive

[@RobertNES816]

Arrma bodies crack easier though that's another issue. Like the Gorgon body cracks super easy and its $60 for a new on for a truck that costs $150 lol. Arrma needs to work on their parts pricing and also how they package parts. They need to work on selling individual parts instead of grouping them together.

[@roberttapia4695]

Why did you compare the 4s Mojave to 6s max slash and not the 6s Mojave?

[@Hajile97]

The Maxx Slash is a 4S vehicle that is 6S capable,

[@hunter71251]

@@Hajile97 So the same as the Mojave 6s, the maxx Slash is 6s ;p

[@247RC]

To my knowledge all of the upgrades from the 6s Mojave went into the 4s Mojave. So for all the 6s drivers, will have to wait and see what Arrma does with the new 6s Mojave when it is released.

[@jalee6587]

The 6s Mojave is a totally different platform. Metal chassis and totally different parts on 6s Mojave.

[@blizzard71]

I think both are awesome trucks , but cant wait for my Maxx slash to arrive! thanks for the video!

[@woutervanwijk4369]

That Mojave just looks way cooler. Slash design is boring. Sue me.

[@nickteele169]

I don't know. I'm not particularly a fan of this new slash. It's just alotta corners cut (plastic geared servo ) and a ridiculous price. They got scared by the mojave 4s n crapped this abomination out. I do however think one good thing came from it and that's the inner cage of the body. I am curious if it could be fitted inside a mojave body. But honestly other than that I will take my mojaves all day. I noticed that there's not commendable driving characteristics to the slash either. It just seems stiff n well like a slash lol

[@weshenry9592]

Price definitely matters !!

[@Strungrat]

If they were the same price I would go with the Traxxas and just pull all electronics. For the price difference I will go with the Arrma.

[@filipinovegaslife70]

When this Maxx Slash came out I thought about your video when you compared the Mojave 6s vs the UDR where you showed how the Mojave handled the turns better than the UDR. I’ve been wanting Traxxas to make a real competition against the Mojave and we finally got it! Now let’s see how this Maxx Slash handles the turns vs the Mojave! 😉

[@RCvapor]

Nice comparison 👍 although here in uk the price is crazy for the new traxxas, £749 which is approx $940 where as the mojave is £449 which is approx $560 which is vloser to the US prices, unless prices comes down drastically i wont be getting one 😂

[@carlcarl6032]

If you've already got 2 good 3s batteries the Mojave 6s @ $629 should be considered. Mine has been going strong for several years now. No i'm not an Arrma fanboy. I have several Traxx vehicles also.

[@Rhone83s]

Thank you!!! I was looking all over for the comparisons.

This needs to be a 6S to 6S Mojave comparison. It’s like comparing the C8 Corvette with the Z06. :)

The week the Maxx slash came out I bought the Mojave 4s and a XRT ultimate spent a little bit more then I wanted to but also glade I live over an hour away from any hobby shops. Still thinking about it but not sure if going to pull the trigger on the Maxx slash.

[@steelcityhero1994]

You could put a much faster motor and esc combo in the mojave with the $200 you save, and the mojave has more detail, and a better paint job in my opinion.

[@pedrowoolson4273]

Hey, we all know that Traxxas is a "Premium" brand so it makes sense that the deep pockets crowd love them... the market in this price range is pretty small these days. Enjoy the price of tires regardless of which you pick

[@69jonhill]

Well said pal. You buy rc cars that suit your budget. I just ordered the Mojave 4s. Almost £200 cheaper than the 6s, and I'm guessing £300-£400 cheaper than the Traxxas - when it gets to the UK. I'm not a fanboy, I have both Traxxas and Arrma cars in my pit, but I think you get more from Arrma than Traxxas for your money.

[@danielcase2189]

What cracks me up is traxxas built it's brand being the cheaper ease of your entry-level brand. I'm not sure when this switch in thought happened, but it doesn't make sense to me

[@2Geek2bChic]

I'd like to see a 3 way comparison between the Maxx Slash, Mojave 6s and the Traxxas UDR because it's $50 more than the Maxx Slash. Also, they're all 6s and about the same size.🤓

[@EJ-74]

I'd have to go with a 6S Mojave which is still cheaper than the 6S Slash, Imo the 4S is a better deal also overall...

[@JohnnySmith-z8p]

What about switching the wheel size. ? 2024

[@loveslying]

I like how wide the maxx slash is

[@pahowitzer446]

Got the maxx slash and it is a ton of fun but I'm sure you would be happy with either.

[@cacanjacowans540]

Less money but 55mph on 4S whereas the MAXX-SLASH needs 6S lipo power to keep up/stay in the same frame? 🤔 And as someone else stated if we're actually comparing PRICE & POWER shouldn't the 6S Mojave be included in this video for under $700? 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@jjonwards]

4s to 6s? Apples to oranges?

[@JeepBully]

You can buy all the slash 6s parts. They are all from other models. With the exception of a few parts. Plus the 6s Mojave is 100$ less than the traxxas. I ordered the traxxas. But I’m probs gonna go arrma. I’ve yet to have a traxxas product that doesn’t break parts first time out on whatever max battery spec is. Arrma not so much, they seem to be built for the higher spec listed on the box. Traxxas always needs another 200$ in parts. Be it 3s or whatever. Arrma just builds a better out the box experience. And I own 4 traxxas vehicles

Maxx slash is the same price as the sledge and i think it makes sense. I like the Arrma Mojave 4s at $500 but i ain't gonna talk shit on Traxxas pricing their 6s vehicles. Just like i don't go to sit down restaurant and complain about their $12 burgers while In n Out costs $5

[@cwatson42785]

So I have all my Arrmas 4s running the Hobbywing G2 150 amp esc for $69 I can run 4s all day with no issues and 6 when I wana go crazy 😜

[@TheRCBuildersPost]

I mean, if you're comparing the two, nothing really justifies a $200 price difference when it comes to performance. But, these are two different rigs in different categories. It should've been compared to the the Mojave 6s, which i believe is still cheaper. I do like the looks of the slash, though! I've always loved those Traxxas shocks! But, personally, I'd opt for the Mojave just because from being in the hobby for so long like a lot of us, I have tons of aftermarket electronics to throw in these things. I have learned my lesson with new releases. I wait about 3 months after a release to make up my mind. One, you get to find all of the weak spots. Two, you get tons of reviews from people who purchased the vehicle so you're gonna find out the good stuff 😂

Mojave 4s is an equal comparison to the regular traxxas slash 4x4, always was the competitor. Same width and wheelbase. Same price. The Mojave 6s would be the comparison to the max slash.

I'd say this: Mojave 6S vs Maxx Slash, I'd take the Slash. Only 70$ more and you get clipless body, belted tires, and a more durable truck. However Mojave 4S vs Maxx Slash, I'd take the Mojave. It's just as tough as the Maxx platform, almost just as fast, handles better, and is easier to work on for 200$ less.
