"get both and be done with", or for us who don't have enough money for either: get neither and don't worry about it

@@Czech91 cause I like watching vids about RC cars, and this is a vid about RC cars
I agree with you Kev, Metal bends and stays while plastic flexes and returns to shape, unless its bent to far
at which point it usually breaks but if not might could STILL take a heat gun to the shit and fix it lol
When kevin drives an rc car it becomes a drone and goes to the MOON
Im so glad you do a fantastic job at reviewing these RC's in the great detail that you do, you really do a fantastic job explaining the differences. Thank you
I’m an Arrma Kraton guy. I got an Xmaxx in a trade and it’s has been a solid truck. I’m in no hurry to buy the 8s Kraton. On a side note all these fan boys are getting old. These are two good 8s options Pick your poison ☠️
I finally bought an Xmaxx I love it. It’s good out of the box in my opinion. My Kraton 6s was good too but needed heavier center diff oil and the steering servo is awful.
Xmaxx is definitely the king when it comes to bashing 👍🏻 I seriously love mine
hmmm i’m debating on if i should get the e revo or the x maxx. Since you own an x maxx is it worth the money?
@@yuhyuhcountingz217 The Xmaxx is 100% worth it
@@zachowns1023 thanks for the feedback!
@@yuhyuhcountingz217 no problem 👍🏻
Everyone says it’s brakes or it’s defected out the box????
Long live the King.. Xmaxx! Nice one Kev
I always appreciate your honesty. the other reviws all say the arrma is the best thing ever while most of them bent the chassis and support bar the first run.. keep it up.
Gus's Custom Creations xmaxx for the winnnnnnn
I dunno maybe that is an issue with the 8s but I've seen the 6s version 4.0 Kraton take it and keep on kicking.
@@kingjames104 I honestly think that some are good and some are bad. Just like the diff gears on the 6s. Some come shimmed improperly. Dont get me wrong I love the Aarmas just like the rest of my RC. just had bad luck with the 6s. OR maybe I just ran it to hard i dunno. Peace brutha
Not true I got one only bent a shock

I love the cracking whip, perfectly timed with his finger snap!
I don’t have the Kraton but I prefer how the x maxx looks
I've got neither (axial weirdooo), but from Kev's vids the 8s Kraton just looks sloooow. Bent braces and plates do it no favours, although I actually prefer the way it looks, which seems lower and sleeker and suggests better handling at speed. Ultimately though, looks like you'll have to pay at least it's stock price again in upgrades to get the same performance and durability that the Xmaxx has out of the box.
Use less video.... And it make no sense
Everyone give a like
『DW』 MiDƒAiL git gud
Midfail Hacks 🤣🤣🤣
I have the 6s Kraton I’ll definitely get an xmaxx next
Great comparison on the chassis parts cost. Staggered that in the UK the Kraton weighs in at....$371 more than the $899 it's selling for here. That's unreal! Gotta be a joke about 'dem arms somewhere in there. You've convinced me to get the Xmaxx. Broke a cup on my 4S maxx at the weekend.....huge cost to replace it.......$6 for a pair!!!! The comparison you did will help people make a decision way better than just filming them side by side on the bench. Gives me food for thought for future videos. One of your best comparison ones to date. Anyone else love the format?
dude totally this guy's very entertaining! i think also he just convinced me to get an XMaxx instead of a Kraton. just looks way more fun and they have nicer bodies for them now too.
That review was awesome, I liked everything you said about both car’s and yes, which ever one makes you smile is the best. Great vid Kev mate. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️
I’m confused, the video is 22 minutes long it’s been out for 20? 🗿 just messing with ya lol
Or the one that makes you cry less when it crash is the best...
Man your energy is awesome ! I just got into these cars and it’s been so useful to watch your vids I’ve learned so much ! Thanks man for making it soo fun🤘🏽
Very interesting this comparaison between price parts, between this 2 rc car! thank you Kevin!
Kevin you are the best, always smile or laugh when watching your videos!
PS, great clip Kev! Thanks for a all the constant hard work you put in. Very entertaining channel.
Part prices! X-Max winner
The realist review. Got questions about durability, look no further. Thank you for sharing.
Hey Kev, have you ever tried the belt drive for the xmaxx. I was curious on durability and what not.
Thank you for addressing the chassis.
Great job! Your videos helped me decide on the x max, I absolutely love it! Thanks man! You are a good man Kevin! Appreciate you!
I have a lot more clarity choosing on what to get between the 2 monstrous vehicles. Thank you for the review!
I definitely love the truggy look but for what I want to do smash across my property and smash over everything the xmaxx is for me!! They are both bad ass!! I'm definitely buying the x maxx first then I will save for the armma!! Great review & break down of everything!🤩👍🍻
In the US, the FAA would make Kev get a drone pilot license to fly that car.
thanks kevin for the advice
Excellent, and much needed, comparison!
I couldn't help but notice the package of what looks like playing cards at the base of your left monitor. Lol. I can hear you winning a bet and saying, "OOOOHHH, WHA' 'APPUND?!" =D
Kevin what part do break/replace the most on a xmaxx
I’m tryna decide now. Thanks for the help Kevin !
👍👍 I've already been leaning towards an X maxx finally and This video just gave me something I hadn't thought of. Price of parts.
Steve Ryder xmaxx all day
Love this video Bud..love your channel..I have a xmaxx and agree with you it's still the king of Basher
Good video Kev. Feels like you put a lot into making this as unbiased as possible. Pretty fair and straightforward comparison in my opinion, although I'm sure everyone wont see it that way lol
I agree get them both, if you can👍🏿
Thank you for sharing. Great info! Job well done.
This video was very helpful thanks for all the great videos
I absolutely love your channel Kevin! In fact I love it so much I gotta come meet you one day 🙏🏻
Got an Xmaxx and love it , rpm arms and aluminium chassis brace plus a pair of aluminium rear c cups plus a tbone front basher bumper. Had a lot of tbone stuff on it but was too heavy so sold the lot. Kraton 8s needs about £300 spent on it to make it durable. Still thinking about getting a maxx But great vid as always. Sold my Outcast 6s as broke down all the time it was a money pit. Traxxas tough baby.
Great video. Love you long time!
The One That Brings the Biggest Smile Is the Right One 👍👍👍 Im new to the RC world and Im glad I found your Channel .. Thanks for sharing 😁😁😁
Respect the honesty fella. IMO the Kraton just looks baaddaass, also its a brand new platform, mechanical & electrics where as the Xmaxx is old car. I would not replace chassis with Stock if or when needed, I would replace with custom chassis on Kraton, gear it up & Boom 💪 👊 🔥 🔥 WINNER. "That being said, as long as your enjoying yourself, doesn't matter what you own , how much money you have, as long as your happy"
Great video!
It's not just the cost of parts but also the availability.
I made the mistake of getting a yeti XL. It's a great truck and I love it but now parts in Australia are almost non existent as it's a discontinued model.
I don't want it to become a shelf queen but I am scared about breaking it now.
My slash 4x4 on the other hand parts are a dime a dozen and can be found everywhere.
did the exact same as you, its so strong only broke my servo arm in 4 years of having it, its sat on my shelf for a year and only just pulled it out yesterday... i hit a little jump n got scared lol...
Thanks for removing the Alarm! My ears are happier now. :-)
?
Jack, There was a crazy loud Baaarrrpp before the COPPA warning that scared the heck out of me that is no longer there...
Oh yeah hahaha now I remember
Ps: I watch all kevs videos
No wonder you have gained 15 thousand subs in less than a month kev great footage and info
And I'm new to the xmaxx do you have any videos on working on them ..taking it apart ,etc
Awesome break down review it the cost of the parts also that can make or break you..Couldnt of said it better no matter what brand all can be fun..I personally had 3 Xmaxx's still too this day I think they were the best all around Rc of my line ups..
Thank you for this honest comparison
I think the same way, for jumping lighter trucky is better (x-maxx), but racing a little weight is better to hold the chassis down. Kevin great video you have all the times, I like it all. I just wish one day I can jump like you guy, high to the sky.😉
Keep them coming kev!👍
A good honest review on both car's. Both have there place by the looks of it. Keep up the great work Kev.
And you're just lucky enough to be able to have both and I'm notad at that you earned it buddy keep up the videos I've been here watching since the beginning and I'm from South Philly PA USA peace brotha✌️
Thanks Kev, always Great video
Heck ya just get both, thats what I did! LOL picking my 8s Kraton this weekend
STEVO D 313 I prefer two Xmaxxes 😂😂😂
Wish I was that rich😞😂
I like the Kraton. I just adjusted the shocks so it would stand as high as possible.
Love you man keep up the Vids hope you see this
About the wheely and air control, did you raise the Punch Level in the ESC yet ?
Stock it comes to the softest punch or near it (i've heard 0 or 3 as default).
great video mate. I agree with your thoughts and feel the same way. I have also bought the k8 but its going to have a hard time de-throning the mightily xmaxx 8s i have had for a few years ;)
Another awesome video😀 Thanks mate
thank kevin.
did you try the kronos team corally
Thanks for the information about the trucks iam getting the Xmaxx
What batteries you recommend for the Kraton? I am running the 100c 5000's but I find the actual play time just isn't there I would like to know your thoughts!
So Xmaxx rules 👍...thanks Kev for this comparo 🤘🤘🤘
Hi Kevin. We finaly scored a used xmaxx Green one came with 2x 4s 6750 gens. light kit, extra spur, that bluetooth thingy in the transmitter, a busted lower suspension arm for ehm 805Gbp ish.
if we bought it new with the extra items it would cost me 1356Gbp ish in my local market. ITS AMAZING! we jumped at full speed crashed into tree only a suspension arm broken.
already ordered Max 6. were gonna mount an AK Airsoft rifle and a 4 camera FPV system on it...... thanks for all the tips and guides on it. love from just4fun
Great comparison video. Just curious what the gearing you run in your XMaxx Kev?
Great review, thanks!
You truly inspire me
Very good kev like your review very honest👍👍👍
I just bought a new XMAXX. I had the K8s on pre-order but I cancelled, The main reason I did not buy the Kraton 8s is because last time I placed a pre-order for the Arrma Typhon 3s it took Arrma 6 months or longer to even have parts available for the vehicle once I had it. And I was told the Arrma is on a promo price right now of $899 but will go up to $999 after the pre-orders are shipped.
Planning on getting the xmaxx this summer
Best content on TH-cam
Definitely!!!!
@@slomango7927 Dude just let the man be,Honesly his finger snap puts a smile on my face and also hes just trying to help people get money. The only thing i dont like about the intro is that he covers that awesome monster truck clip xD but other than that his intro is just fine
@@slomango7927 ain't bull if it works ehh..
I’m was a traxxas guy having the hoss vxl and the slash 4x4, then got an arrma felony 6s and liked the build. Was going to look at an outcast but now I’m looking at the Xmaxx
Xmaxx is worth it guys!! I love mine. I bought a slightly used X-Maxx 8S, and it’s so reliable! Servo already upgraded to a 2085X, Spool in the rear diff “Locked rear axle” and I have beadlock belted badlands. The truck is just a beast! My stock shocks are pretty smooth right how they are. One thing I do want is the Pro-line shock shafts and pro-line delrin cartridges.
I have already owned the xmaxx but definitely gonna buy the arrma Kraton 8s. Does come with a 2 yr warranty but I will buy a mc2 chassis as the first upgrade. Then slap a 23t pinion and ready for business
yeh better chassis is a must in you wanna bash
Kev is never disappointing
Kevin. What gearing do you run on the xmaxx? And is that the proline raptor body?
Kev, get a 1/16 Slash. you've gotta see it. the motor is the Titan 12 turn 550 can size brushed (with Velineon 370 brushless option). also try the LaTrax Teton. you WILL break the servo though.
Hello, I like all the excellent videos! Thank you for all the information! You've answered many of my questions, that kept me up many nights, throughout your videos and my girlfriend would say thank you also if she understood..😆👍🏻
Love the videos though hope the never stop
no plan to stop any time soon.
Yay!!!! 😁
I love your rc videos
Great video. You didn’t leave anything out. Thumbs up.
Took a friend over to our local rc shop the other day and they brought out both of them, he went for the Kraton 8s because it looked more expensive
Kev, I have to agree with you on everything you've stated about the X Max and kraton 8s. I almost feel like the kraton 8s isn't in the same category as the x-max, . Definitely more like a truggy.
Gotta love a self straightening drive shaft 😂 sold
Awesome video bro love it
Hey kev .what's your gearing on your xmaxx
Hi Kev could you tell me what batteries I need to get for the karton s8 an Charger and where to get them would really appreciate this is my first Rc 🚙
Yoooo! Lol! Your voice reminds me of the mandarins voice from iron man. Awesome 👏🏾 video bro. I just bought the xmaxx a few days ago and absolutely love it. Went ahead and upgraded a few needed areas for reliability and performance. I was going to buy a keystone today just to have another dynamic. But, this video convinced me it’s not worth it. The XMaXX is supreme in my opinion. Especially if you aren’t tracking your truck/truggy on the regular. Thanks
Have you ever tried a Tekno MT410? I would highly recommend it. Obviously not the size of these beasts but mine always makes me smile.
Can you review the Helion Conquest 10mt xb? Thanks
Nice video :) Thank you.
I just bought the XMaxx Traxxas 8s, I am wanting to get the Wide Maxx kit, do you recommend this kit or know anything about this kit?
Awesome video Kev 👌
Another banger video Kevin 😛😛😛😍 But I am a Traxxas fan boy
cant wait to get the kraton on my channel kev,
What gearing do you run in your x maxx Kevin?
I got a quick question, If I follow the link to the product then add products on top of that, does that help you in any sort of way, i have no issues going in and purchasing one at a time from across your links?
I only got my X-Maxx like 3 months ago! It still has a lot of original parts! How cant i justify getting a 8s Kraton as well??
The X-Maxx is a kite on wheels, pure bashing and jumping fun.
Yeah, you might wanna wait for the 2nd version of the Kraton (next year)👍🏿
From the videos i have seen so far, the X-Maxx seems to go over the terrain smoother, might be an illusion. Also might be bias from an X-Maxx owner.
Hey kevin what is your ebay store called? I want to check out your proucts!
go with what you know its all about the smiles :)
