I Am Done With This RC CAR!

  • Welcome back to Thunder RC! This is my last video bashing the Traxxas XRT and I will tell you why. I have had nothing but trouble with this car since the first day of ownership. The Traxxas XRT has been problems since the beginning and it is no where near the amazing Xmaxx. In this video I try out some different tires in an attempt to make this truck drive better but the Death Ramp kills it 2nd jump in! The Traxxas XRT is a good car for what it is intended to do and that is driving it around on the ground. When you start jumping this thing it just falls apart if you don't land it. Enjoy

    Your initial videos where you took it to a skate park and beat it to oblivion impressed me so much that I added it to my fleet, and now it’s a lousy basher? Seems like those landings you did would’ve ruined any large scale rc. I guess I have to take online reviews a little less seriously from now on..

    Hey Thunder The harder and firmer a tire is on an RC car the more it will break I figured that out with the Ravel Wonder if the XRT is that way

  • @Stonew24
    @Stonew24 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    For folks getting into this hobby, an xmaxx with mods might be a better basher, but definitely not a stock out the box xmaxx. Let’s not forget the stock weak arms (non hd) along with weak carriers and casters among a couple other areas. The xrt comes stock with those upgraded. I run the outcast dboots on the xrt and helps tremendously as soaks up those weird angle hits much better than a hard tire. Sometimes just have bad bashing days, but so far the xrt has come through when I had given up on traxxas all together.

      I've owned 3 different xmaxxs in my time on my 3rd one rn and I also have xrt xmaxx is way stronger and Arms are definitely not a weak point on xmaxx lol I like the xrt but I use it different from the xmaxx xmaxx cons are the rear hub carriers the steering sucks till u get the stiffer spring in the 2085x and the front bulkhead post is a weak point then the drive shaft when u go crazy it will bend sometimes like I said I'm on xmaxx number 3 sell them when I get hard up but then always get them back xrt gonna be the one I sell if I get hard up again lol but both are fun but if only 1 it'll be xmaxx hands down

    Traxxas wanted in on the Kraton 8S market, the engineers on both platforms knew it would never be as robust as the narrower wheelbase.

    Everything has its limitations when landing bad. I'm cool with Traxxas as well and the Xmaxx has been great for me but I added the chassis brace and center shaft seems to help a lot with over flex like the plastic rigs do, there not designed for 100ft+ sends but that's what some of us like to do. They twist and bend and Shafts/gears can have issues.
    If you Haven't upgraded the gears and center shaft, that Might be a good start, or that M2C Center brace? I know you like to keep it stock but I know some guys that have had better luck with those few mods.... It still has its limitations as the plastic under the battery trays wears down or punches out with repeated big hits.... Not sure she is built for CONSTANT big hits long term durability? especially stock? for the type of bashing you do brother. Maybe try those mods or move on?
    Sorry for the short frustrating bash brother.... We all have those, they suck
    FYI those tires weigh a TON, I'm afraid to use them on anything because the weight can cause breaks? They seem to handle great though.....but the leverage that weight creates, I think there even heavier than trenchers??

      So the definition of a hard basher is you gotta land right all the time?, weather it's the RC or the driver I'm talking about. The Definitive stance on if a RC is tough or not..... can it take some "off" landings? That's all he is talking about.... For him the Xmaxx is better and he is entirely right in his perspective and experience. If your don't land wrong at times your not pushing it.... Thats what some of us like to do, and we report back to y'all the RC Community what RC's tend to take them harder hits better.... You can't fault the guy for giving that information to ya,
      Now if you just joking around "don't land wrong" then ok that's fine.
