Got both now, they’re different but no better or worse per se. Maverick Body isn’t great for durability but price has traxxas beat. I would say I’m probably more gentle with the traxxas than the maverick so make of that what you will.
I guess it depends on the track your using them on too! The Maverick is a lot quicker in straight lines where in my opinion the Traxxas handles better but a lot slower on the top end. Both fantastic cars regardless.
I don't own a Slash but I have heard this. If it is the same its probably the reason why its so good as a rally car that can take a beating. Your right. If its not broken why fix it!
If you want the 2 Very best available 8th scale RTR rally cars you can currently buy they are the HPI WR8 FLUX 3 RTE , and the HOBOA HYPER GT RTR . IF YOU WANT A real 7th scale rally car you have to order directly from KING MOTOR to get the KING MOTOR CITROEN C3 ABUDABI rally car 🤔 .
@ianjohnhorwood2605 i was looking at the king motor citroen, WR8, and the new CEN puma. Let's see, as i have loads of rc's, I'm waiting to be delivered 🙄
@RC-Closer1313 it's such a shame! Personally, i don't think the company will last. It's only a moment of time until customers have had enough. Other TH-camrs don't speak the truth as they get a free car and just hype it up. Which is unfair for the end user. You live, and you learn and keep moving forward.
Too bad your beef with Rlaarlo is denying your channel comparable reviews. I'm excited about getting my XTS-F10 Rally Car. I don't know how sustained criticism based on one experience helps the hobby? I'm just a consumer who will go elsewhere for my R/C videos and information. Good luck with whatever it is your trying to prove.
@joelhodge9728 Thank you for your opinion it's much appreciated! I'm only being transparent and sharing my experience. If you read some of the comments here and across some of the Facebook pages, a lot of people have experienced the same. However, I've never said the XTS-F10 was a bad car. I've stated the service was so poor that it's put me off purchasing anything from Rlaarlo, which I stand by. I'm sorry you feel this way, but put yourself in my shoes. After such a poor experience, would you give your hard earned money to the company that's constantly lied to you? Just bare in mind 98% of the cars on my channel are purchased by myself, not sponsored! I hope this clears up why I won't give Rlaarlo my money, but once again, my apologies I didn't meet your expectations with Rlaarlo. Congratulations on your new car. I'm sure you will have hours of fun! Enjoy!
@@thercstore. Thank you for your reply. I haven't had an issues with my purchases from Rlaarlo, to date. I do realize that they are new to the field and I approach my investment with them much as I do with other "group buy" experiences - typically they work out fine, but sometimes they do not. I understand that logistics around the world vary wildly, and everyone's experiences will differ. I do, however, know a lot of fellow r/c enthusiast who like their products because they are affordable, durable, simple to upgrade and not trapped in the big-name echo chamber. Best of luck with your channel.
@@joelhodge9728 I completely understand what you mean and have delt with many purchase from abroad. For me it was the lie after lie I was constantly told. If I was told your item is coming by sea and it will take 8 to 12 weeks from dispatch, I can live with that. As I know when to expect an item and I'm buying it with that in mind. But being told 7 days that leads to months I'm sure anyone would be annoyed. Please don't get me wrong the new rally car looks fantastic but their service is just not for me. I totally understand everyone has a budget in mind, hence I have higher and lower budget RC's on the channel. For example the HPI Maverick Quantum RX rally car. Once again thank you for reaching out and enjoy the new car!
@TheToecutter69 If im not mistaken looking at the Traxxas website, yours sounds like the BL-2s. On Traxxas's website, the BL-2s have blue HD parts. The VXL HD parts are dark grey/black. m.traxxas.com/products/landing/fiesta-st-rally-vxl/ m.traxxas.com/products/landing/fiesta-st-rally-bl-2s/

Sweet 😊Ride my brother 😮
Thank you Dre! Much appreciated.
Hpi Wr8 is awesome 👍
I hear but not used one yet. May have to just buy one and give it ago.
i've had my eye on this car
@@Marts112 Epic car! Running video out Sunday!
@@thercstore. i'm locked in waiting for the first run video and that orange looks so good bro
Just ordered the new white CEN racing puma rally car 😊
Nice! I see they revised a few things on it so it should be better than the blue one that came out last year.
Which do you think is better, the mojave grom blx 3s or the traxxas rally ?
You cant compare the two. Both totally different cars and sizes.
@thercstore. true, but I wanted to know which one is the better vehicle in your opinion standing on its on.

Hpi wr8 is the rally king!
@barnesmbe11 HPI WR8 looks good, but I have not had my hands on one yet!
Isn't that just a slash lcg chassis and set up,I'd like to see a fresh design from traxxas,but if it ain't broke don't fix it.
I don't own a Slash but I have heard this. If it is the same its probably the reason why its so good as a rally car that can take a beating. Your right. If its not broken why fix it!
Rally sprint go.

Agree. That colour scheme is pretty cool.
Its hard to pick up on camera, but it does pop!

The Rlaarlo XTS is nicer looking
@cyrusshellard3905 fair comment!
I've not seen one in person. No doubt it's a great car.
Wow ic me broder is ju...😂
Where are the HD parts?
Maxx heavy-duty driveshafts
Steel wheel hexes
Caster blocks
Steering blocks
Oversized sealed bearings
The car I received, all the hd parts are blue.
@TheToecutter69 If im not mistaken looking at the Traxxas website, yours sounds like the BL-2s. On Traxxas's website, the BL-2s have blue HD parts. The VXL HD parts are dark grey/black.
