#TeamCorallySketer #TraxxasMaxx - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I was looking for this comparison , thanks so much 👊 bro
Great comparison, I agree that bigger tyres would have been better for the Sketer as standard
Awesome timing,love your comparison videos,getting our rigs ready for me and my daughter for an rc walk/bash,thanks for all you do🤜🤛🙏
Cool rc's and great information and comparison
The match up everyone was hoping for!!!
I love buying trucks in the winter, then having to wait months to really run them hard. I bought both the Maxx & Sketer in the dead of winter. I've only ran the Maxx so far. I didn't have to deal with the crappy electronics since I got it as an used roller, so it had much more reliable HW stuff in it from the start. I'll never run Trx stuff in my cars. As for problems, both bulkheads & the center diff area can end up caked with dirt, sand, water, ice, & snow. That stuff gets inside & seize up bearings. Dry weather or not, stuff gets inside. I've had that problem with every Trx car I've owned including the X-Maxx, Slash, Stampede, E-Revo, & Maxx. I've cracked the front bulkhead in the Maxx twice - & that's the only thing I busted on the truck, but it is a major teardown. I hear almost no one talking about this problem with Trx cars, maybe to not incur fanboy wrath or whatever. Whatever the case, I never had this problem with any buggy/truggy style car. This is also why I will never rate a Trx car over them. I can't ignore issues that actively destroy the rig. Btw, I've also had the same problem with the Arrma 3s line & the Redcat Blackouts from long ago, so it's definitely a plastic car thing more than a brand issue.
What you think of the sketer so far mega? I'm really impressed with mine even though I haven't been able to run it yet. Seems like an overly built tank and can't wait to run it.
@@cwatson42785 It's a beefcake. We have over a foot of snow & the streets are ice. But I might have to take something out there soon. It won't be this though. The bumper feels like it can rip off & the wheelie bar is too long but I can deal with both. It's definitely the most overbuilt thing I bought in a long time. I still would of put the longer hubs, larger tires, & the 6s system so it can have more overhead on 4s.
@@Megasty15 Yeah I agree about the larger system and longer arms to have it a bit wider but it's definitely a tank! Yeah im in the northeast so I'm close to you so I feel your pain! It's almost all melted but now it's flooded and soggy. Definitely not running it in this mess lol. Do you plan on doing what razor did and widen it out a bit? I got other rcs that can fill that itch so I think this will be good as is. Just gonna gear up and maybe some day put a longer can motor and max8 esc in it and like you said run on 4s. But it's definitely a tank! On a side note I finally ordered the 24mm extenders for my reeper and have some 8s backflips I ordered ready to go on it! I might order some dgi extenders for my dbxle and might get some 8s backflips for it as well. Make it like a monster desert buggy 💪👌
@@cwatson42785 I already have the axles & hubs ready, just have to put them on. I have the 6s system too but I want to give the 4s system a go 1st, hopefully it doesn't blow up. With the Cen, with the backflips I cracked the rear diff case right at the input. Wrecked both the ring & pinion. That was with the K8 motor on 6s. I switched out both diff cases to aluminum, best upgrade for the truck.
@@Megasty15 Sweet that's good to know. Can you point me in the right direction to find those aluminum diff cases? Seems like a great upgrade. Also you wouldn't happen to know of a good sub 100$ servo upgrade for the Reeper? I put In one of those budget 35kg servos but I'm having trouble with the steering centering back up. Seems to be all over the place. I'll have to check the servo saver now that I think of it
Pretty nice comparison. I honestly wasn't sure how this one was going to go, lol! Seems like the Skeeter is a pretty good truck from everything I have seen on video 👍
I like both but parts are easy available for the Maxx if you break it lol . I'm in Chicago land and have yet broken a part on my Maxx in the cold . Team corally does offer a solid truck also 👌
the parts availability is definitely a big advantage for the Maxx
Can always tell by the looks of the cars which one you prefer 😉
You mean which one has seen more use?
Well said..Good video
Great comparison. I'll be picking up the Sketer very soon. I have $1k in the V2 Maxx and it still needs reinforcement in the front and rear bulkheads. I keep breaking them where the hinge pins go through for the upper control arms.
Update. After 5 months, I find that even though the Sketer can break some stuff easier, the parts that it breaks are "way easier" to replace compared to the Maxx V2. I keep breaking upper and lower bulkheads regularly on the Maxx V2, which are not easy to change. How ironic 🤷. I honestly prefer them Sketer. Way cheaper too. The Maxx had to go to like $1k with upgrades and the price of the truck, and the Sketer doesn't need upgrades. Just better tires and bigger pinion. You can even use Arrma upper abs lower control arms, for better durability. Rod ends too.
@@joseCalderon1976 what arrma arms fit the sketer?
@@eduardojelo The Typhon 6s ones, but it doesn't look right. At least the upper front control arms. I'll be replacing them again with stock arms.
Hey man do you still have that mt410? You loved it the most. Would love a comparison between a kit vs skeeter rtr.
I do, it's a $800-900 kit so it's hard to figure out whether it belongs. Awesome truck though.
@@RazorRC Biggest issue I find with MT410 is people hardly compare it as a stock car too, its usually fully tricked out in M2C parts or close enough that you could probably buy 2 MT410 kits, so it becomes pretty unfair comparison
@@Zillawill I totally agree, which is why I keep all of my cars close to stock, because it doesn't make sense to take a car, add $1k in upgrades, and then compare it to another car. Like, what does that show???
@@RazorRC exactly, I have a near full M2C Notorious, and no way in hell would I compare it to even a EXB Outcast nevermind a normal RTR
Is there a chance that you got a week servo saver on the maxx? Because l agree on your vid around the track it Handel's badly. But now you have some wheel time like to see you take another crack at it. Love your channel
What do you think about a 1 /7 scale maxx l would love to see it.? Get the servo sorted and fix the 😲
Love my erevo 2.0 but the Maxx is £649 here and I can get the Sketer for £389 so guess which one I got?! Awesome truck, looks stunning too!
The Maxx is a great looking truck, fit and finish is top notch, it's extremely durable and has amazing parts support. It should be a recipe for success, at least over a new truck like the Sketer. Unfortunately, performance and handling leaves a lot to be desired! Not to mention, Traxxas' stubborn refusal to listen to the consumer and address issues identified with their vehicles (while still charging a premium price tag), annoys the hell out of me 😡 Still, what it comes down to for me is I want a driver's vehicle and every time I find myself coming back to the Sketer! Guess what my next 4S monster truck will be?!
If you want the best just go tekno. The mt410 is the best rig on the market by far. Although I'd may be categorized as 1/8 scale. Otherwise I'd say the maxx is good rig, I don't see corally as real competition for the traxxas line. I think Corally still has a lot of design issues to iron out. Maybe some more R&D on plastics as well.
Maxx £600 corally £400 where I live! I can get exb 6s for the same as the maxx 🙄
Maxx is better then exb 6s
HaHa, that's funny right there..
yea traxxas stuff is just even more over priced outside of the usa so makes it a even worse value comparison
What did you do to your Traxxas radio? 🤕
The Shocks a not the same on my Maxx, in the rear there is a different Spring and a thicker Shaft.
I have the Maxx, and I love it, but the next will be the Sketer.
different springs and pistons, but the shafts are the same.
I think the maxx price is it’s main downside. Plastic chassis are great really.
agree
A new 3.0 ERevo with a tub chassis (no saddle pods) would be nice to see
They made the Slede instead
Multi-model memory is kinda a slap in the face if you have to buy one with every car.
Idk I do like max today reel feel 10 degrees it will hold up best . That said being in hobby over 30 years you can't compare the precision performance or driving capabilities of a design "buggy truggy" thats been the best for the highest skill drivers. Traxxas has the best RC's for beginners people who aren't mechanical or starting and never going take it seriously. Maxx near bulletproof but its just for fun all good in thier own right . Great comparison 👏
I've even running regular 17mm wheels on maxx weird hubs so far its worked
Not looking to argue, but how would the truck made entirely from plastic withstand freezing temperatures better than one with aluminum parts?
@@knowair6767 I learned this lesson this winter . Idk good plastics are better than cheap metal . The arrmas traxxas plastics have a rubbery to them. I've snapped or bent metal on the kraton and truggified typhon this winter a couple times . With the cold whatever materials they cheap out on " pot metal" im sure quality or hardend metal be stronger usually
. Stupid stuff like pin holds shock in the arms . But you think the shock end or arm would break 1st my point is plastic RC's can be forgiving but don't drive as well . If you forced the maxx to be competitive with truggys it wouldn't be as strong but on rtr the maxx has so much flexibility.
The maxx vs skeeter in a demolition derby would be cool lol . They both seem like the most durable trucks you can buy at this time . Im suprised the maxx is heavier than the skeeter ..
@@knowair6767 ofcourse aluminum by it self is stronger. So example " i was jumping maxx in the street with a ramp and Snow on the sides of the road . Hard to drive , im used to a tuned rcs with more precision so I was all over half missing the ramp at times .launched into a 1:1 car , seemed like i broke the knuckle. Thought to myself oh thats why they upgrade that part to aluminum. Upon repair it just slipped over the pin . Had that part been aluminum it would've sheered the pin or bent it . Just a screw cost dollar or 2 but trying make me point .
I will buy the sketer, far better value, i will buy some bigger wheels for it with an offset, and it will still be cheaper than the maxx, for me thats a win. :)
Think I’ll pass on both of these, and hold out for the associated MT8 priced at $509.
The Associated just looks like a slightly bigger Kaiju from what I can see except for the chassis, which is metal. I had pre ordered a Rival MT8 but got a tired of waiting for over 2 months.
@@joseCalderon1976 yeah, that’s most likely the case but I’m OK with that.
@@youtubeuser5424 it's a great looking RC (the MT8). I just have too many of them. Hopefully parts support will not be a problem for the MT8 👍
Been wanting another 4s for awhile and have been waiting on the new Arrma 4s's. But decided not to wait any longer. I was originally looking at a Maxx V2 but after watching your review video (and the fact that I couldnt find any V2's in stock) I went with the V1. My LHS was selling them brand new with the Widemaxx kit for $449.95 and the Widemaxx kit for 1 cent more. Great deal and in my opinion what the price should have been originally. In the middle of installing a bunch of upgrades now.
My favourite rc TH-camr .You will hit millions of sub s if keep going :) thank s.I disappointed with Arrma 4s chassis from what you tell us like these sketer .Is sketer same weight as arrma 4s is it much lighter than mt8 as i find it to heavy mt8
I agree the maxx handles terrible , the suspension geometry is terrible the shock are not long enough don’t droop enough terrible , but damn tough but I hated mine I’m a drivers car type guy.
There both good cars it's on the person that which one they like the best you can't go by this video you got go by in your heart what you want in what you think's best I know I have both cars There both very good rc cars I like both of them
You really don’t like the max out the box. Lol thanks for your honesty!
Maxx 🔥
Is surprised you put lighter weight fluid in the center diff in the Maxx stock I had issues with it sending all the power to the front tires so put wax ear plug in it stoped the diff out problems and run 100k in the rear diff and 50k in front handles like a champ drifts on dry pavement with out traction roll but I run duratrax 2.8 belted tires for the Maxx traction roll doesn't happen with them even under full throttle corners
I drive on dirt
@@RazorRC so do I dirt grass gravel and hard pack clay
I think right now it would be the maxx cause of parts support
always important!
@@RazorRC yup it really is ...but the sketer is pretty durable from the videos I've seen on it, I keep looking at my maxx like should I sell and get the sketer, I put arrma shocks on it and it helped out with the bottoming out plus it arrma electronics the version before spectrum
@@onemansvideos2134 TC USA has parts..RC Hobby Explosion..HRP.. ASAP Hobbies..Jennys RC..Parts not an issue online but only handful of hobby shops will carry TC
This is exactly why TRX sucks IMO. Pay so much for so little..electrics,drivetrain, ect are just barely adequate. If you run em hard, they need upgrades right out the box..just one mans opinion.😎
@@knowair6767 sorry... i built mine from the ground up so I used some parts I had laying around and tried something lil different by trying arrma 6s rear shocks
Arrma 4s chassis need to step up as these are way better
Sent you a PM on FB had question
Those Belgians make some of my favorite things. Beer, FN FAL, M240, RC cars and some seriously beautiful women.
china just doesn't get my blood flowing...
Great comparison. Both great offerings. TRX has the parts support in spades over TC in the US, and probably many other markets as well. The maxx trucks are tough and fun. I think TC is true hobby grade, as is Arrma. TRX in my opinion doesn't make true hobby grade rigs. They're tough, but TRX just skimps everywhere, electronics, and materials. TRX equals sintered metal diffs, bare minimum bracing ect. All at the highest price of any brand. I hope Arrma and TC eat TRX's breakfast, lunch and dinner personally 😎
What's original country of Sketer ???
Belgium
Nice comparison! The Maxx needs more competition in the 4S MT space, after Arrma stopped producing their 4S lineup after only one year, the Maxx had the market all to itself. It seems like Traxxas is always starting a new trend, then competitors try and catch up - we saw it with the Slash and the X-Maxx, and now the Maxx barely has any competition.
Just curious if you would consider adding a new category to your reviews called Features? The Maxx has TSM, self-righting, clipless body, and training mode. Don't know what the Sketer has except the programmable ESC. Some features might be gimmicky, but some of them are really nice to have. Self-righting has saved me countless walks of shame with my Traxxas trucks lol.
I'm still waiting for my Maxx 2.0 to be shipped. I'm more of a basher and there are no tracks nearby, so durability and parts support are priorities to me. It's no fun taking out your brand new truck at the start of spring, breaking a part, then having to wait until fall for it to come back in stock ugh.
"Traxxas starting up a new trend" lol that's funny. Also FYI arrma started their 4s line before traxxas so no they did not start that trend. And besides the xmaxx I don't see any trends they have really started tbh. And to the contrary so many of their models are outdated and from like a decade ago. Now love them or hate them arrma is the company that has been starting the trends with other companies like traxxas forced to produce new models. That's the way its been playing out the past 3-5 years anyway. Edit: oh I forgot about the udr which I'll give them, but look at what other companies like arrma and losi have come out with the past 5 years and I don't think there is much comparison
features is a good idea for a category, I really should have covered the electronics options in the Maxx better, but honestly I don't use TSM or self-righting, so I always forget about those.
Agreed, self righting equals drivetrain/tire destruction..many(myself included) could benefit from taking a walk once in a while to turn our rigs right.. Also, TRX radios do have a lot of functionality but isn't just typical of TRX to require us to spend more on a BT module just to use the features!?
TRX=greed IMO. I do own 3 of them but their business model turns my stomach.
@@knowair6767 Well said... And that is the reason they won't get my hard earned money. Too overpriced, too greedy a company imo
Hello
Please, subtitles in Spanish. greetings and thanks
Traxxas maxx all day
Sketer.
Case closed.
(1/8 parts and durability, and much cheaper).
Love your vid. But I somehow disagree on the durability part..
The only way to find out is to give them equal amount punishment. Send them both from a high cliff! Like what the Team Corally did in their ad.
Is it just me or does that team Corelly look just like an MT4G3?
I think Thundertiger needs to wake up and start doing rc cars again, especially bashers, they use to be the company to beat before the xmaxx
The funny thing about the MT4G3 is that the parts that were actually good were all lifted from the newly acquired Team Associated 1/8 scale line.. Thunder Tiger had recently (at the time)bought them out..Then Thunder Tiger just slowly killed it off.. I still own and run an MT4G3 but unfortunately parts are almost impossible to get thanks to TT.
@@knowair6767 yeah i know for years thundertiger and team associated worked together and each would habe their own models that were basically the same, i have an MGT 4.6 sittinf on my shelf noe, but i converted it to brushless a while back, the mt4g3 is considered basically the holy grail of rc bashers
I do remember that the MT4G3 was one of the first rigs marketed as a basher.. no doubt there were others, and possibly even before, but the MT4G3 was the first "basher" I got my hands on.. By today's standards, it's somewhat weak but I've held onto it for all these years and still enjoy running it..but not "sending"..
RIP Wondertiger..
@@knowair6767 yeah, im surprised you can still buy a couple cars on their website, but they are almost out on some
You can’t even compare the two , I don’t know any hobbyshop who Carries corally, not hating on corally but it’s just a rebranded arrma flat chassis junk
Sketer
The maxx is the king of rtr 1/10 scale with durability and performance. This sketer looks like the closest attempt yet. Kaiju, Arrma Redcat all fail with their comparable rigs. But this thing looks tough and fun. Nice truck
Really? So why do I keep breaking bulkheads on the Maxx?? That's a mayor weakness. I also had to replace the front and rear hubs with aluminum ones since I kept having issues with those. I also had to replace the crappy plastic driveshafts, esc and reciever. I'm like $1k into the Maxx V2. The Sketer has better electronics, handling, steel drivershafts stock, and the body doesn't fly away like the Maxx. I had to buy a roll cage so that I stop destroying the Maxx body. Oh yeah, the sledgehammer tires are weak AF. Just saying.
@@joseCalderon1976 no problems here for 3 years. Not 1 bulkhead, driveshaft, nothing. Just bashing, bashing and bashing. Landing correctly and not having a stroke when I throttle helps a awful lot. Jus saying
This is funny review, "this is one of the worst handling monster trucks in the world lol. Geez
Do you ever do actual driving comparisons just talking about it isn't really a full review amd doesnt show what they can do going up against each other if anything these kinda videos steer people away cause you're not doing a side by side driving comparison which makes it difficult for people to really see what they can do.Team Corally all day
Watch my latest 6S shootout between the Kagama, Sledge, and Kraton EXB. It's non-stop driving while I talk about the cars.
Well said Razor....Maxx is for the younger kids or rich yuppie who wants to just go throw money at a hobby shop and spend 800$+ on the truck, batteries and charger and walk away with a truck to go run. while the sketer is for the hobbyist who looks for a great deal and great performance out the box is my outlook on it.
Youropinion anyway the max is goodtrucknwhileit lasts a little beast anything better then overpriced tramcars Rc rigs all plastic garbage
The Traxxas X max is junk
Maxx is better.
No doubt.
Oh look the Team Corally hater troll is here! Lol
@PhilthyCo RC beginners gotta start somewhere, not knowing much will land them in a traxxas
@@tommykohn32 True but this guy goes around on all the Team Corally videos and calls them Chinese junk ..He's the Corally hater troll lol
4-3 says otherwise but if durability is the biggest factor then the Maxx edges it, all the electronics are inferior though, radio is not user friendly for beginners at all
Undoubtedly.
Can definitely tell you started working with Team Corally. This was a biased review.
Can definitely tell you only buy Traxxas cars.
@@RazorRC See that's where you are wrong I do have some Traxxas but also own Losi, Arrma and Axial. You sold out and its ok, you still have some good content.

@@philthyco1 Didn't say he worked for them but in his 5 year video he says he has partnered up with them. and I own more than Traxxas as my comment above states.
