Decent comparison dude. I agree the Granite being the best out of the 3. In the UK though the MT10 is about $100 cheaper than the Granite and $250 cheaper the Hoss! So that would have been #1 for value if I was scoring. Arrma 3s range are killing it! 😎👌
New to the RC world...was interested in TraxxASS but clearly WAAAY overpriced. What turned me off Traxxas the most was how they litigate/harass TH-camrs (RCSailor) and sue competitors with their ridiculous lawsuits which stifles advancement. Add on Traxxas proprietary connectors and it's an easy call.. It's Arrma all the way for me.
That's par for the course for Traxxas. They've always been $50-$100 more than comparable vehicles for worse equipment and outdated designs. There's something to be said for their parts availability and non-waranty-related customer support but that's it. And it doesn't help that Traxxas is a huge patent troll either.
No clue what Traxxas was thinking having this truck closer to the Max’s price point and yet putting the Ultra shocks and that flippin 2075 slow, weak plastic geared servo in it!!! Shame on you Traxxas. I still love ya tho. But dam that’s not cool.
I struggled to understand its placement if they're going to continue selling new models of the Stampede 4x4. For that matter I thought the max was also considered a 1/10 scale.
My nephew will get the Granite for his birthday tomorrow. 🤓 The whole family is really excited and can't wait to finally see the truck in action and of course to see the smile on the face of our family's little RC fanatic. 🥰 I was very happy to see your review today and of course that the Granite won your shootout. 😊 PD: Love your videos by the way!
Would love to see your opinion about the Redcat’s new RC-MT10E. Looks like a bad ass truck for the price. Only the traxxas faithful will buy a hoss. $479 is absolutely ridiculous. With steel CVDs. Gtr shocks. A metal gear servo. And a fan on the motor. Then MAYBE. But the fact that I can buy an arrma granite for $150 less. I would get $150 worth of upgrades and it would be even better then the hoss.
@@kenmastersmaster a 10 year old platform? no thanks. i never use the warranty anyone. electronics fry? just get new stuff. but frying electronics is a traxxas thing. i would get an arrma big rock for vorteks for over $100 less. only suckers buy this hoss
@@DavidFernandez-sc5ws lol the arrma platform looks like a bangcock special. Traxxas esc is 200 amps. Never fried one. Don't want a 10 year old car buy a maxx. Oh that's right you can't afford one
Nice coverage of 1/10 monster trucks. That said, you penalize the associated truck for weak front sway bars, but pre-emptively replace shocks on an over priced traxxas truck and award it first place for design?? Wtf, these ratings must be industry influenced, ie, who asked you to do this review?
bought it about 6 months ago and havent looked back mine seem to come well built only problem i have had is the servo,but no prob dropped a 25kg servo ,plenty plenty,plenty.thanks again for all your input.keep your wheels down and the dirt up.
@@mikealls8938 which is what I find really annoying when people in the us talk up traxxas, they aren’t bad but they aren’t worth £500, especially when they aren’t indestructible
I drone and am a DJI fan but have been waiting to get into rc trucks for a long time. Everyone said the Kraton 6s should be my target. Then I saw the price for the entire package including batteries and charger. I just want to have some fun with a decent first time truck that can a light bashing and not break the bank. I feel this video has helped me complete my homework and will get the V3 soon. Thanks for your effort and honest reviews.
Lacked some details. Ranking system. You didn't tell us the total points for each truck. You did not show us ground clearance and suspension travel for each. You didn't discuss upgradeability. You didn't rank the ease of maintenance. I'm pretty sure I like the MT10 best but cannot tell based on your review.
Arma should ditch the metal chassis for their bashers altogether. Once the metal chassis bends, it’ll never be the same even if you can bend it back. And it will never be as strong. Composite is chassis the way to go.
1/10 scale 4x4 monster trucks should not cost more than $300 especially when they use $200 buggy chassis with bigger wheels etc But l get they re popular bashers so they sell lots
You didn't really say anything about it but I'm really surprised to see that you put the granite third for support. in my experience horizons support is every bit as good as traxxas.
@@Mostima115 thanks to its ''low'' (where do you even drive lol) ground clearance, the Kraton actually handles better than a typical MT. (doesn't wheelie and roll over as much) Also I've found the chassis and rear shock tower to bend easily on my kraton but on my typhon, it's been fine. From what I've seen, the 4s kraton is actually more fragile than the 6s. (especially the a arms) The corally cars have brittle a arms and a bad wingmount design (Kronos), also they're more expensive than the arrmas
@@Mostima115 what!? The V5 arrmas are 600! That's crazy. I won't buy one. But where I live, v4 arrmas are cheaper than v2 corallys. Okok, yea the weight definitely isn't optimal and I am honestly a bit disappointed with my kraton (the diffs like to break on 6s) but race cars that weigh less because of the use of more premium materials and cleverer designs also typically cost a lot more and most are kits, not RTRs Also, I usually land on grass, because there is almost nowhere to jump except in a grass field here, which means I haven't had any issues with electrics. Ps: I'm not an expert, but it seems like you are. Sorry for misleading comment above (maybe this one as well idk)
Looking for a monster truck in this range for my brother. I really don't want to get him a Traxxas since I hate the proprietary battery plug and generally everything they stand for, but I feel like the Hoss is the most likely to have parts support 6 years from now. I've had Horizon branded cars/boats and they're ok about discontinued model parts support but not great, and they usually don't produce a model as long as Traxxas. So 5 years from now, the Hoss will likely still be in production (maybe not for long, who knows) whereas probably the Granite and definitely the Associated will not be in production, but there will be some hit or miss parts for them at online retailers and some people selling new-old-stock parts on ebay for them. At this point, even though Traxxas doesn't seem to mention that as a feature, that appears to be something they have going for themselves, which is probably just the result of not changing up your model line that much by making new platforms that aren't based on prior models.
Finding it increasingly difficult to justify the cost of a Traxxas vehicle, especially considering what you get for the money. I was sold on the Granite and your videos helped make up my mind but think I am going with the Big Rock V3 - great looking body and a bit wider for increased stability. Oh, and over $200 cheaper than the Hoss (here in Canada).
You will like the granite better if bashing is what you're into which is what these trucks are made for .I have all 4 of arrmas 3s line ( granite , senton, big rock and typhon) and honestly I would choose the granite over the big rock... but for me the best of the 4 is the typhon 3s
@@jerryvolpini7987 yw... oh and by the way.. I have the v3 big rock and it isn't as stable as you might think just because it's a little wider.. believe me or not my v2 granite is more stable and handles a lot better .not to mention it's a wheelie king .. it wheelies even more than my maxx and my xmaxx
So, how much premium would you say the center diff etc should add? Seems more stuff brakes on the other two. Then you have the telemetry as well. Plus the torque is what I want for a monster truck as opposed to really high speed. Hate that folks put down the price on it so much. Tires are nice Center diff Metal gears Very durable I think it is the same value as the Granite personally. Kinda depends on how much having that center diff means to ya. Great vid as always!

Nope alot of people bash the "cat" but I'm telling ya REDCAT HAS MOST DEFINITELY STEPPED UP THEIR GAMEPLAN! (not to even mention that beautiful lowrider Chevrolet😎)
Arrma is ugly, just like all Arrmas. You lost me when you said the Associated has the worst radio - as an Element Enduro & TRX4 owner, I can assure you the Traxxas TQ radio is far worse.
This helped a ton I have the V2 got it last summer and it would over heat constantly then the long screw on bottom vibrated lose and the motor shifted and I think it's the slipper I got a huge gouge down the middle of it,thought a out replacing parts but I'm going to go with the BLX V3 and use any parts I can off the old one.but I was hoping through video you were going to say ARRMA #1 keep up the amazing work brother and Rip That Shit
Hello, I'm RC player from China. I'm looking at a few models right now: arrma granite V3, teamssociated mt10 and arrma outcast 4S. I prefer arrma's car, but after watching your video, I think mt10 is also very good. I'd like to hear your suggestion. Is it better to choose granite V3 or mt10? Is outcast 4S coming out with a new model (V5)? Thank you very much. --By Google translation
Really didn’t have to watch this to know the Arrma was going to come in first the other two would be a toss up for me I totally agree with you the Hoss is definitely over priced for what it comes with although if it had been released earlier than it was I probably would have bought one and done all the necessary durability upgrades. I was actually looking for a “Stampede sized” monster truck a while back ended up snatching a close out Proline Pro MT 4x4 unfortunately I didn’t know both it and the SC Fusion were both being dropped with Horizon buying out Proline if only I could have seen that far into the future I guess 🤷♂️
In Germany the Asso MT10 is the cheapest but there are not many shops that sell parts for it. The Hoss is very expensive but you can buy the stampede 4x4 for 100 bucks less. The Hoss needs alumnium shock caps then its close to bullet proof. Parts are cheap and you can get them at every gasstation or supermarket. The Arrma 3s/4s are as expensive as a Stampede 4x4. The shocks are trash and if something breaks it is hell to work on it. But it is very durable. In Germany it is a hell to buy Arrma parts they are hard to get and extremely expensive. I recommend buying the Stampede 4x4 kit with a HW BL kit and the alumnium center drive shaft. The servos of all rtr models are cheapest trash. There is no rtr with a good or better servo you need a better one for each model.
I had a Big Rock Crew Cab, that truck was crazy fast, but was terribly unreliable. never had good luck with Arrma, my Traxxas trucks were much more reliable.
You can always improve the performance, durability, and handling. But you can't improve the customer support or ease of maintenance. The Hoss is more expensive for several good reasons - Traxxas will actually pick up the phone when you call them, and all Traxxas products have a lifetime electronics warranty.
That arma granate from my experience is pretty god damn crazy but the wheels allways be falling off and need some lock tight to keep them in and the shocks light to fall apart and wheely bar does this amazing thing called fucking exploding and its chassis is ugly with the body on but god damn that thing is wild as shit and when u take it apart its doing all of that with a tiny god damn motor
Hey man i haveThe Helion Avenge it has a 3300kv Radiant Reactor system in it. The ESC is programmable but ive had it a while now id id like to add some power to it. Mine has the 3650 in it not the 3652 Helion started them out with. Keeping it on 3s what would u advise on a motor esc combo to give it a boost in performance w/o spending a few hundred. Thanx for any advice.
Granite is a great car but as soon as u said more durable..i immediately write this review off ..i love traxxas and arrma the same but not one arrma is more durable then traxxas out the box ...arrma needs upgrading to be more durable as traxxas is good right out the box ..
same opinion as you Razor RC, i check the hoss to much money for make change later that are by force and for that the hoss become more expensive, but Arrma brake the but to traxxas more cheap and can be upgraded and cost less compare to hoss. Thanks man
One might be best of the 3 but not best comparded to other rc trucks ,traxxas blows iv got 4 and they are always broke but my arrmas dont have alot of problems so my choice wood be any arrma over a traxxas
Awesome video buddy thank you very much👍 Could you please tell me if a hoss body would fit on the granite? I was thinking about buying the hoss body clear unpainted and putting it on my granite if it fits as I like the plastic protectors on them.. I know I would have to drill holes but dimension wise would it fit..
Nice comparison! I used to have a modified 4x4 brushless Stampede and I recently bought a Typhon 3S. I agree that the design is (way) better on the Traxxas vehicles. I'd also say quality is better, the gear cases and diffs are more durable and let in a lot less dirt to grind up the gears. With that said, my Typhon was cheaper and is more fun to drive! The stock suspension feels miles ahead. I'll need more time with it to decide which platform I like better overall. I'd love it if Traxxas would make a 1/8 buggy with a center diff built on the LCG Slash platform.
Great Truck, but I disagree on working on it? It’s maybe the easiest truck to work on I’ve been working on R/C cars/trucks over 30 years and was so intrigued by Arrmas design overall. I mean...One main screw and the “whole thing” comes apart to get to your motor. What were referring to as far as what was difficult? This is by far the most innovative designs I have seen yet. Traxxas has some cool stuff too, but the price kills it for me. You get so much bang for your buck going Arrma in any category. Go back 15 years...to get something as fast as the granite, you would have to spend $1000 bucks easy. Today it’s around $350 bucks for V3 truck a battery and charger and boom your in. Turn key I think your in it about $550 bucks.
Time and time again I see people Break RCs and Front Arms Break Because they Dont know how to Land RC Jumps check out Tomleys review of this, 20 Jumps 30-40' again 30-40'high Most Flatland Landings a 500 dollar Traxxas a 300 MT10 MT10 #3 Hmmmmmm (Lands, jumps, performs Great, durable, ease of work) Granite #1 not so sure Would agree tho V3 vast improvements and is a good solid truck
I think they fixed the problem. Check out everyone who got the first run of the Rival MT10, they all broke arms, but I don't think anyone has been breaking them since.
Decent comparison dude. I agree the Granite being the best out of the 3. In the UK though the MT10 is about $100 cheaper than the Granite and $250 cheaper the Hoss! So that would have been #1 for value if I was scoring. Arrma 3s range are killing it! 😎👌

I bought a mt10 and my mate bought a big rock 3s. His has spent more time broke the thing is a piece of shit compared to the mighty mt10

MT10 is in 1st. Period
Arrma RULES RC
TRAXXAS IS SO NERVY WITH BEING OVER PRICED AND PUT CHEAP ASS PARTS ON IT.
The hoss should include better servo, GTR shocks, and 4s esc for the price.
That's par for the course for Traxxas. They've always been $50-$100 more than comparable vehicles for worse equipment and outdated designs. There's something to be said for their parts availability and non-waranty-related customer support but that's it. And it doesn't help that Traxxas is a huge patent troll either.
Yep I have about $$730 in my hoss and it still isn’t great
@@wingmangaming2043 LCG is honestly the best upgrade for the hoss.
@@dylanwhite6539 Yes. I think if it came with LCG chassis and GTR shocks it would be a good value.

How did the granite come in 3rd for support and maintenance with a 2yr warranty that covers almost the whole truck?
Puhleeze......ARMA 1st.....with no shock or camber link adjustments?? GTFOH....the MT10 is the best of these 3
I agree. The Rival is boss. The other two are mediocre in comparison. A better comparison to the Rival would be the Proline Pro MT 4x4.

Granite 3s blx is awesome. Typhon 3s also
Really didn’t have to watch this to know the Arrma was going to come in first the other two would be a toss up for me I totally agree with you the Hoss is definitely over priced for what it comes with although if it had been released earlier than it was I probably would have bought one and done all the necessary durability upgrades. I was actually looking for a “Stampede sized” monster truck a while back ended up snatching a close out Proline Pro MT 4x4 unfortunately I didn’t know both it and the SC Fusion were both being dropped with Horizon buying out Proline if only I could have seen that far into the future I guess 🤷♂️
Great review, any tip on how I can reduce speed for my little boy on the arrma? I know that Traxxas have it’s training mode.
You can reduce or increase speed on the side speed settings. 50% 75% 100%. This is on the steerer
Hey buddy does the Arrma Granite 550 mega have a feature to change 50% power to 100% power, no reverse like Traxxas offers?
Arma has a terrible problem w there motors and esc
In Germany the Asso MT10 is the cheapest but there are not many shops that sell parts for it.
The Hoss is very expensive but you can buy the stampede 4x4 for 100 bucks less. The Hoss needs alumnium shock caps then its close to bullet proof. Parts are cheap and you can get them at every gasstation or supermarket.
The Arrma 3s/4s are as expensive as a Stampede 4x4. The shocks are trash and if something breaks it is hell to work on it. But it is very durable. In Germany it is a hell to buy Arrma parts they are hard to get and extremely expensive.
I recommend buying the Stampede 4x4 kit with a HW BL kit and the alumnium center drive shaft.
The servos of all rtr models are cheapest trash. There is no rtr with a good or better servo you need a better one for each model.
😁👍Arrma for the win!
I was disappointed in the Hoss and I've never been disappointed with any Traxxas product. The Granite was just more fun and it's very tough.
New spur gear, new shocks, new drive shafts, should’ve just bought maxx v2. But still need new drive shafts hinge pins.
Just bought a granite love it big smile.
I had a Big Rock Crew Cab, that truck was crazy fast, but was terribly unreliable. never had good luck with Arrma, my Traxxas trucks were much more reliable.
I like my granite it's a good little rc but I can't get over how weak the drive shafts are. Even on 2s they pop apart.
try loosening your slipper clutch. mine was set too tight by about a full turn by the factory.
@Lucian Carlisle so you put a supercharged big block in a Honda Civic, and you’re complaining that parts are breaking... 🤨
For being the winner you didn't go over it much and you didn't tell us the price
I’ve got a whole 27min video review of the Granite, that includes the price. 🙂
You can always improve the performance, durability, and handling. But you can't improve the customer support or ease of maintenance. The Hoss is more expensive for several good reasons - Traxxas will actually pick up the phone when you call them, and all Traxxas products have a lifetime electronics warranty.
tru I agrreeeee
That arma granate from my experience is pretty god damn crazy but the wheels allways be falling off and need some lock tight to keep them in and the shocks light to fall apart and wheely bar does this amazing thing called fucking exploding and its chassis is ugly with the body on but god damn that thing is wild as shit and when u take it apart its doing all of that with a tiny god damn motor
Hi is that single screw on mt10 the 1 to adjust the motor please. CAn you do video how change pinion on mt10 an adjust motor
Hey man i haveThe Helion Avenge it has a 3300kv Radiant Reactor system in it. The ESC is programmable but ive had it a while now id id like to add some power to it. Mine has the 3650 in it not the 3652 Helion started them out with. Keeping it on 3s what would u advise on a motor esc combo to give it a boost in performance w/o spending a few hundred. Thanx for any advice.
Granite is a great car but as soon as u said more durable..i immediately write this review off ..i love traxxas and arrma the same but not one arrma is more durable then traxxas out the box ...arrma needs upgrading to be more durable as traxxas is good right out the box ..
same opinion as you Razor RC, i check the hoss to much money for make change later that are by force and for that the hoss become more expensive, but Arrma brake the but to traxxas more cheap and can be upgraded and cost less compare to hoss. Thanks man
Traxxas motor and esc are definitely more durable. Shocks and arms and plastic spur not sure how you gave arrma higher durability lol
One might be best of the 3 but not best comparded to other rc trucks ,traxxas blows iv got 4 and they are always broke but my arrmas dont have alot of problems so my choice wood be any arrma over a traxxas
Beautiful Granite
Great video totally agree.👍👍💯💯
Awesome video buddy thank you very much👍
Could you please tell me if a hoss body would fit on the granite? I was thinking about buying the hoss body clear unpainted and putting it on my granite if it fits as I like the plastic protectors on them.. I know I would have to drill holes but dimension wise would it fit..
Mt rival best by far.
@tomley RC have your monster truck opinions changes with introduction of the Losi LMT?
I honestly feel like the hoss is just a re-marketed stampede 4x4 vxl. I was unimpressed when it debuted.
Rival MT10 would have got 1st place in my humble book 📖
Can i put traxxas hoss shell on granite?!! I like how the granite performs but I want the looks of hoss shell
first person ive seen that puts the granite above the mt10
Bc he’s a professional driver , granite my favorite rc one of” I know mt10 great truck but I doubt it can perform like a granite
I just got the granite, and am absolutely blown away, gunna widen it, and upgrade the tires. With plans of tracking it.
How does a slipper clutch go out on the arrma granite
No question the best Monster truck is either the Maxx or X Maxx.
MAXX
The tmaxx 3.3 is king
Nice comparison! I used to have a modified 4x4 brushless Stampede and I recently bought a Typhon 3S. I agree that the design is (way) better on the Traxxas vehicles. I'd also say quality is better, the gear cases and diffs are more durable and let in a lot less dirt to grind up the gears. With that said, my Typhon was cheaper and is more fun to drive! The stock suspension feels miles ahead. I'll need more time with it to decide which platform I like better overall. I'd love it if Traxxas would make a 1/8 buggy with a center diff built on the LCG Slash platform.
I enjoyed a great video let's be friends😊😊😊😊😊
우리 친구 해요!!!!
Great Truck, but I disagree on working on it? It’s maybe the easiest truck to work on I’ve been working on R/C cars/trucks over 30 years and was so intrigued by Arrmas design overall. I mean...One main screw and the “whole thing” comes apart to get to your motor. What were referring to as far as what was difficult? This is by far the most innovative designs I have seen yet. Traxxas has some cool stuff too, but the price kills it for me. You get so much bang for your buck going Arrma in any category. Go back 15 years...to get something as fast as the granite, you would have to spend $1000 bucks easy. Today it’s around $350 bucks for V3 truck a battery and charger and boom your in. Turn key I think your in it about $550 bucks.
Go back 15 years you would have to spend $500,000 to have a device as fast as your $200 iPhone. What's your point?
I see the rival mt10 over the granite. Cause it has a center diff and the weakpoint A-Arms are easy and cheap to fix with RPM A-Arms. And its cheaper.
Oof I didn't warranty my Hoss... Oh well guess I'll just have to buy something bigger if something happens 😂
Really love my Rival MT10! i've juste bought a Team Magic E5HX, beast!
Time and time again I see people Break RCs and Front Arms Break Because they Dont know how to Land RC Jumps check out Tomleys review of this, 20 Jumps 30-40' again 30-40'high Most Flatland Landings a 500 dollar Traxxas a 300 MT10
MT10 #3 Hmmmmmm (Lands, jumps, performs Great, durable, ease of work) Granite #1 not so sure Would agree tho V3 vast improvements and is a good solid truck
I think they fixed the problem. Check out everyone who got the first run of the Rival MT10, they all broke arms, but I don't think anyone has been breaking them since.
When the best driving RC rates last then the ratings system probably needs revisiting.
