Best XMaxx vs O8 comparison I’ve seen mate, loving the content! 👊🏻 was a good day out.
Thanks, just kept it true and real, had a blast doing the filming and Jack did justice with his edit.
Keep it up guys just got an xmaxx and it's thanks to channels like yours 👍 what a fun way to enjoy the outdoors !
Thanks, just like sharing what we do 👍👍 hope you love the Xmaxx as much as we do, but im sure you will, its hard not to like it 😂
One word.
Okay two words
Fricken LEGENDARY!
Best heads up durability test-
Much love from across the pond!
🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️
Wow thanks - really glad you liked it, we certainly had a lot of fun doing this one
Great action in this video. Jack I am loving your editing skills bro. Looks like you all had a good time making this one. And you all weren’t shy about airing them out. Truly HARDCORE
Thanks matye, only one issue with jack doing such good edits, makes my videos look boring 😂😂 boys had great fun sending these cars
@@HardcoreRC he does a heck of a job. The variety is nice
@@norcalrc Thanks - he must get the creative side from his mum, its not from em thats for sure 😂😂
Now that’s a good day of testing
We just picked up the Xmaxx a few days ago & it’s awesome!
It was a great day, just very cold. You will love the Xmaxx 👍
i already know the o8 will break an arm!!
and bent chassis!!
and shock shaft
@@KevinTalbotTV hi Kev how u doing your getting closer to a million every day
surprised the arms didn't break!! be the chassis is bent tho
Aren't the arms on the outcast 8s stronger than on the kraton?
I own both as well and really never worry about the xmaxx breaking. I was jumping the xmaxx yesterday and a few times drilled it into the dirt and it was just fine. I know the Arrma would be smoked and going home with broken shocks and arms. I love these types of videos keep up the great work guys.
Thanks - yeah we are the same, im sae to take the outcast 8s out 😂 i know they can be tough with the money spent upgrading, but the Xmaxx is just tough and durable pretty much out the box
Never seen shock shafts bend like that of course never saw a bash like that before. The music is a nice addition also keep up the good work
LOL - these cars need to be tested 😂😂 glad you liked the video and the edit - my son did this one and think he knocked it out the park 👍👍
Awesome video as usual 👏 editing and music are 👌💯
Thank you - Jack did this one, he always knocks the edit out the park, need him to edit more 👍
Personally I haven’t had any breaks or damage on my outcast. I beat on it pretty hard too. However I don’t send mine to the stratosphere either. Highest jump was about 20ft. The weight alone is a reason I personally wouldn’t beat on it as extreme as you guys. Plus I feel the shocks are angled too much. Don’t think it’s a design flaw in the shocks but more like a design flaw in the geometry. Great video! Awesome edits!
Thanks, we do like the Outcast 8s, its a great truck. Think its a combination issue really, the wide angle of the shocks gives it more stability, but then the shock shaft is to small to handle the big jumps with the angle.
Needed to have narrower shocks, but that would ruin the handling, or thicker shock shafts. The EXB now has 6mm shafts so they have addressed the issue, just a shame they didn't go to 7mm shafts.
Thank you for watching and glad you liked the video 👍
Xmaxx is better
So tru I been in the hobbie now for about 3years. I don’t understand why send something 100ft? I can even see the RC and honestly might as well just get a drone or plane😂😂🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️😃. Seeing the RC is the fun part don’t u want to appreciate the it moves, speed, shock articulation, body movements etc? I do like to watch the videos there’s a lot of other good stuff on here too, also to support our community. I did upgrade my shock shafts from the getgo and never had an issue unti 2days ago. I hit metal pole doing about 50mph and that was all!🤷🏻♂️😃cheers everyone just have some fun.👊🏼✌🏼🙏🏼
You are right with the geometrie. The shocks need a steeper angle, not much, just 1cm wider on the shocktower and everything would be fine. Lifting the suspension arms a few millimeters with the droop screws would help also
Great and fun comparison! Have an XMaxx and want an Outcast next! Both beasts!
Thanks - yes they are both beats, i would suggest getting the EXB Outcast 8s though as it comes with thicker shock shafts
Just awesome!! This is the best and most fair comparison I've seen yet between these 2!😎 all good landings and the same amount of jumps from the same ramp... the winner was clear and this is the last comparison video I need to see.. the Xmaxx will go perfectly alongside my kraton 6s😎😎
Glad you enjoyed it! and you will love the Xmaxx, first car we put in the boot when we go out now
@@HardcoreRC i can see why, you guys sent it to the moon😎what would be you and your boys 2nd and 3rd go to bashers?
dooood we might end up having the same setup!
That was some great testing guys 👍🏁
Thanks - glad you liked it, will be part two in the future, with M2C shafts and lighter oil
Shock's off! Thanks for sharing, from the states.
Your welcome, thanks for watching 👍
Loved this video good job showing the durability, you guys drive great also
Thanks - just showing it how it is, nothing stagged or hidden 👍
You should do the same test again with the m2c shafts in. I've just literally fitted m2c shafts to my ops just before I saw this video. One of the best xmaxx vs o8s durability test I've seen 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks for your kind words 👍👍 i have fitted the M2C shafts and lighter oil 350cst, then we do plan to do the test again, but will leave it a few weeks so its not repeating so quick
THAT WAS THE ONE OF MOST CREATIVE AND EPIC REVIEWS !!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it, tried to make it as fair as possible to give a good side by side review of each cars durability
Great video guys! Keep up the content
Thank you and thank you for watching 👍
Puff sois únicos me encanta vuestro canal gracias por compartir esos momentos que nos asen bolar de alegría un abrazo desde Córdoba España saludos.

Great video!!!! Love my X Maxx and love making videos of it in action!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank - love our Xmaxx as well, just a great RC all round 👍👍
Bananarama - classic 😎 So pleased I went for the X-Maxx (got the 19T pinion in it but it was so cold today I didn’t get best speed) 👍
Hehe - to be fair we were pretty sure the shocks were going to bend so had that catch phrase ready to go. Xmaxx is just a great all round RC and tough as hell, also dirt cheap to fix. Yep its pretty cold right now so not much fun getting out, roll on the summer
Nice! I love how you guys drive it for it's intended purpose. Big air
Its the only way to drive, no point treating them with kid gloves 😂
Great vid mate....looks aweaome
Perfect spot👑
Thank, glad you enjoyed it, had to be this skate park for the test 👍
Great video. I subbed. Not for just video but love the music tooo!! Hopefully more videos to that great music. Was feeling it!;)
Thanks and thanks for the Sub, my son jack did this edit, we take it in turns, but he will be very happy you liked his music as well 👍👍
You might like this one as well 😂😂 th-cam.com/video/agHXPT5eCIY/w-d-xo.html
@@HardcoreRC just watched and gave a like. Thank u. Very nice again 😊😊
Heading out to bash in the snow right now. Listening in I’ll watch when I’m done driving 👊👍 this is gone be good!!!!!
Have fun bashing in the snow, we had snow today but no where near the amount they forecast 😥
@@HardcoreRC Definitely was a fun time not many jumps the snow got deep real fast. Mojave EXB first run in the snow!!!!!! Wow that thing is impressive!!!!
That was an epic watch. Enjoyed very much 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it - thank you for the watch 👍
Congratulations on 2k subs lads 👌
Thanks - im well shocked - the last video gave us a big boost, but with it the a fair bit of silly hate etc, but always knew it would - Fanboys will be Fanboys 😂😂
@@HardcoreRC how can they hate the truth 🤷♂️! It was a fair video and you done your upmost to keep it that way......... roll on easing of lockdown 😁
@@jaayyboy28 Thanks, we kept it as fair as we possibly could, but some people just cant handle the truth (name the film 😂😂).
Just look at some of the comments, this video will likely also have the most thumbs down, next to the other outcast vs xmaxx video we did
Definitely the best Xmaxx outcast 8s durability test having two drivers and one camera man will be a hard combo to complete agents
Thanks Martyn, thought we would keep it as fair as we could, both car effectively stock. We did have some fun making this one as you know 😂😂
100% agreed..👍
That you Jackfrags? Haha awesome vid, thinking about buying my friends Xmaxx and Erevo! Really looking forward to bashing the Xmaxx!
Go for it, Xmaxx is a great RC
Great video as always 👍
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Great video guy's.. 😎.. really stepped up the game with this one..👍
Thanks, i just did the filming, the boys did the driving and Jack did the editing - team effort all round 👍
Great comparison video! You got a new sub from me!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed and thank you for the sub 👍
awesome how high they go and you guys getting some good laughs from the bent shock
That's, yeah for big rigs they do jump high, we did have a good laugh at the shocks bending - cant help laughing at Bendy Wendy 😂
Nice vid fellas, if you don’t mind me asking what camera you guys use?
Currently using a GoPro Hero9 - may i ask why you ask ?
Great video guys!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Great video guys, loving the xmaxx 👍
Thanks, Xmaxx is just the jumping, skate park bashing big RC king stock out the box
Great video guys. Loved the walk of shame lol
Thanks - still love the silent night track at the end
Love it lads well done!
Thanks - round two will be coming soon, with M2C shock shafts and thinner oil
So I don’t have an Outcast 8s yet but I would have to agree XMaxx is way more durable then the Outcast 8s without a bunch of chassis upgrades. The XMaxx is really impressive and with a few fairly cheap upgrades it’s crazy 💪!!! Great video 👊👍
Thanks - really loving the Xmaxx, also love the O8S, but for what we do with the cars the Xmaxx wins - its crazy what it can take
Great Video. We was there Saturday.
Thanks - love that skate park, might bump into each other one day
Wow !!!!
It's a great video.
Thank you for sharing great information and great videos.
Always be healthy and happy. 😉👍👍👍👍😉
Thanks Dude, hope you are keeping well 👍👍
Ace video man subscribed pal
Thanks for the sub and glad you liked the video 👍
Did the Xmaxx have the stock steering servo in it ? How about the stock center drive shaft ? As well as the stock spur gear ? I ask because I'd really like to get the Xmaxx but I've personally seen to many brand new out of the box trucks break as well as tons of videos after their first jump and not even close to the height of what you guys are doing .
The Xmaxx in this video was all stock except for a Max6 ESC (changed from Traxxas as i dont like to use adapters and dont have any lipos with Traxxas connectors, dont like cutting the connectors off any RTR ESC due to then losing the warranty) and the red A arm, which is still s stock A Arm just red (its not an RPM A Arm for example).
Even after this video we are still running the stock servo, still on same center drive shaft, although we did bend it at the last BMX video, but then on another jump bent it back 😂😂
All RC's will break if they land bad, but the Xmaxx has had some really hard bad hits and just taken it. in this one it takes some big hits, its also where the A Amr broke, jack said RPM but it wasnt, it was a stock red arm: th-cam.com/video/GrX8uUUCNZk/w-d-xo.html
Always said i would never own an Xmaxx, but boy was i wrong and now wish we got one way sooner.
Nice video lads. I’m not sold on the 8S trucks. Bit big and heavy for skate parks no? I wonder if the Kraton 6S would be a better option for most people, even that little Typhon was flying well
Thanks, Xmaxx handles skate parks well, especially for its size, but the 6s cars do jump higher and fasters thats for sure, our Kraton EXB has hit 49 feet off this ramps, and i think our Talion will likely beat that as well
Great video guys
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 👍
So glad I went for an XMAXX over an OC8.. Have just swapped it for a DBLXe though. Great vid guys, keep up the good work. FINISH IT!!!!!
Thanks, LOL finish it 😂😂 really like the look of the DBLX - just have to get a bigger proper car or van to carry all the bigger cars in
Very enjoyable video!!
Thanks glad you liked it, we certainly had fun making this one 👍
"Keep going til they break", love that!
Had to be done, its a two hour drive, no point putting it away so soon 👍👍
Xmaxx, tough like duplo. I prefer technic Lego 😂
Great comparison
Thanks - tried to keep it as fair as possible 👍👍
Nice video review bud love both them trucks just subscribed to your channel love Whot your doing I bet you break both um out bashing looks like the same place wear kev films bro 🙏😎
Thanks for the kind words and subscribing. Outcast doesn't come out much if im honest, to scared to bash it hard and have huge repair bills 😂😂 Xmaxx just takes so much abuse and is cheap to fix. It is one of the locations Kev bashes at yes, do do go out with him on occasions so you likely seen me and the boys in some of his videos
Yer I’ve got the notorious first day out brock it an day 2 3 4 till I upgraded it all now it a beast of a truck 🙏😎
Awesome video I have a x maxx and love it great job
Awesome! Thank you!
Yes, definitely expected result! O8S needs a V2 ! Come on Arrma, you can do it 💪
Indeed - or just put the EXB shocks on the RTR, its the biggest weak spot
Outcast 8s exb for the win 💪
@@jaayyboy28 With the bigger shocks for sure, dunno why they still dont put those bigger shocks on th RTR
Love your videos guys.
I’ve got a Kraton Exb and I smashed the shock rod ends, but can’t find any in stock, can you recommend any others that would fit please?
Glad you like our videos. if its just the shock rod end then use these, far better than the stock ones www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?product_id=371122
Yes it stays for Traxxas but they fit the Arrma 6s cars and better than the Arrma ones 😂
Cheers for that Dave, I will get some of them on order. Well I was thinking of buying an Outcast 8s but after watching your video I think I will buy the XMaxx!😉
Awesome bashing session 👍👍👍 Greetz to you UK guys 😘
Thanks Kimberly, hopefully get to meet the Basher Queen if you come back over in the future
Great comparison guys 🔥👍 Ya just can't beat a XMAXX far as durability and they have a fair amount of power straight out the box I'm more into competitive off road racing in my opinion the Outcast would make for a better race truck it's a little more stable so I would rather have the Outcast It's obvious the XMAXX is the King of bashing though ✌️
O8S is more stable, would love to see a load of O8S racing thats for sure
Was always going to be the xmax. It’s a beast . Great test
Thanks - the O8S did jump and handle in the air very well for its weight, but it just cant compete with the Xmaxx.
Great stuff!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey question for you I watch yours, Kevs and Clairs videos all the time. And it seems like it’s either ready to rain or has just rained. Do you guys get to see the sun much or is it always dark and gloomy weather over there?? It just seems like everything is always wet in the videos 😆
LOL, lets just say the weather has been dark and gloomy for a while now 😂 but at least RC's and the gang make the days out all light and fun 👍
best rc vids on yt
Thanks - there are plenty better than us, but thanks for saying we are the best, really appreciated 👍
It’s official boys!! The X Maxx is the undisputed 1/5 scale basher beast of 2021.
Crazy how much higher though our beloved OurvArrma Kraton 6S can soar!
I might say if you take a size out of the equation the Arrma Kraton 6S is the dominant all time basher. Thoughts?
Yes no question in my mind the is the undisputed 1/5th basher. The 6s cars can go crazy high that is for sure, our EXB hits stupid heights, think we recorded 49ft once.
But this year is going to be very interesting once we get to summer as i know of some crazy 1/5th builds that are going on right now that whilst not stock could be jumping to even greater heights.
All that said the Kraton EXB is still our favourite car
What a video. Awesome.
Thanks, glad you liked it 👍
When you played Silent Night at the end.
*Arrma felt that*
Hehe thanks - felt it was a great song choice 👍
My custom Mojave says hello😁
First 🙂love the video and how are you✌🏻who edited the video because it’s very good
I did, Thankyou Emily
@@JackLee-yk4sn no problem 👍
Thanks - first gain, Jack edited this one - im not that good 😂😂
@@HardcoreRC the music in this video is so good
@@Emily_xx5 Jack sure did pick some good tunes for this video - love the end bit as well
Hands down the best fair comparison between the xmaxx n o8s.. Just ordered an Xmaxx .. Thank you.❤️
Thanks - that was our aim to be clear and fair, plus have fun doing it of course 😂😂 hope you enjoy the Xmaxx as much as we do
@@HardcoreRC What batteries do you recommend for the xmaxx 8s?
@@kasparov937 Im running either the Turnighy Rapids 5,500mAh packs from Hobbyking hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-rapid-5500mah-4s2p-140c-hardcase-lipo-battery-pack-w-xt60-connector-roar-approved.html?affiliate_code=FASSYMTTSPUEGLJ&_asc=6060877247 or DXF 8,0000 or 8,4000mAh packs
Loved it.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Awesome.
Thank you! Cheers!
Love both of them, but the xmaxx takes the durability. I'd still prefer the outcast 8s just for the handling. Not a crazy basher, most I'd change are the shock shafts and arms.
You are spot on, both great cars, whilst the O8S had this result i still love it as it does handle very well, especially for its size and weight, just need to sort the shocks out some how, then it will be on another level
@@HardcoreRC I agree with the both of use guys
@@rclunatic Thanks 👍👍
Also, that is the most mangled shock shaft I've ever seen 😂👍👍
LOL - they were pretty bad, going to have fun getting that bad one out to fix it 😂😂
Great video!! Xmaxx is a beast!!
Thanks - Xmaxx sure is a beast 👍
WoooW very nice amigo
Thanks - will be a park three coming once i have fitted the M2C shock shafts and lighter shock oil 👍
awesome bashing,cool rc's
Thanks dude 👍👍
Wow yall did send it...nice videos..
Thanks for watching, had a lot of fun making this one
Lighter shock fluid?
Lighter shock oil and better shafts - have the M2C ones to put in, but that's not the point, this was to see what they could do basically stock - the Outcast failed badly
Awesome
Everything is Awesome, Everything is cool when you're part of a team 😂😂 thanks and hope you enjoyed
Are parts free of charge in the UK?
How do you mean free of charge ?
Are they about equal in price
Pretty much same in price yes
Drill bigger holes in the shock pistons and that bent shock shaft stuff will go away. The stock holes in the pistons are to small and big jumps the shocks can’t suppress fast enough and it creates the bending in the shock shafts. Awesome bash session though.
Thanks for the tips! others have said that as well, have switched to the M2C shafts and thinner oil, will re-do again once we get the O8S servo back from warranty as that packed up, also waiting for the new 7mm M2C shock system to be released
I prefer the Xmaxx simply for the fact that all parts can be found in any number of my local hobby shops and I don’t have to wait on shipping of parts like with most Arrma vehicle stuff. This may just be my local area but Traxxas stuff is just so easy to find day of.
Think its the same in most places, plus Traxxas parts are sooo much cheaper
Awesomeness
Thanks 👍👍
I wonder if the xmaxx shock will fit the outcast?
I don't think arrmas shocks are weak. I think it's design problem vs just beefing the hell out of them.
They are in a very laid out position which likely puts a lot of side loading plus restrictive pistons equals bent shafts, even after m2c shafts and pistons, they still bend, just not as easily.
On the xmaxx the shocks are much more verticle
Dont think they do, but im pretty sure some 30 degree north ones do with 8mm shafts
Yep, but the stock shafts are pitiful really for a car of this cost, not hard to put better quality tool steel on them. Needs to have the tool steel shafts and lower shock fluid, or swap them out for 30 degree north 8mm shocks
Martyn in the background FINISH IT 🤣
LOL, Martyn was loving it, he is a bad influence 😂😂
The geometry on the OutCast seems a bit off from watching this. However, you did jump it 36ft high😂 and it weighs a bit more than the XMAXX. #M2C definitely needs to be onboard for even a slight chance of survival. Great video. Keep it guys.
Geometry is all stock, just the stock shocks cant take the weight, Arrma really should address it and put better tool steel shafts on as standard. It did handle very well in the air though
@@HardcoreRC Mainly what I meant is they have the Geometry off. Because if the rods don't bend they break the arms. You can use #M2C and it helps a lot. It also seems that in the videos I watched, the arms start to give up instead. Idk...just saying that's the appearance from this video and many more I have seen.
i think the problem with arenas geometry is the shocks pound outward too much, while the xmaxx shocks are more straight up and down. luckily, arrma listens and they will probably find a way to fix this in the v2 or something
@@levistewart5610 Gives them a reason to make a V2 and then sell it to people that already bought a V1 😂😂 i don't get how this got past any type of testing
@@HardcoreRC they probably don’t send their cars 36 feet for the test lol 😂
Cant believe you guys are sending them that hard! My XMAXX is still my baby, haha
Hehe - have to send them to see what they can do 😂 have to live up to our name as well 👍
i’ve had my xmaxx for just under a month and i broke the rear hub, bent 2 shock shafts. and blew a tire out and i didn’t even send it nearly as close to what you guys did in this video lol but i’d pick my xmaxx over anything,
@@agoogleuser5771 Rear hubs are weaker area deffo upgrade to the RPM rear hubs, tires cover up the inner hole with tape, that normally helps.
Shocks dont know as never bent them yet.
It is a great truck
nice bash guys
Thanks, hope you enjoyed 👍👍
That is why I am waiting for 2021 releases from Arrma and TRX as at the moment there is no as good builds as x-maxx. I love O8S look but durability is still on TRX side. Guys, are You going to repeat this test with fully upgraded Outcast? I am very interesting if that expensive upgrades can bit x-maxx 😁 awesome video Guys, thanks a lot for clarifying my doubts 👍👍👍
Will be interesting to see what comes out in 2021, seen some leaked pics of a Kraton 8s EXB, that could be interesting. No plans currently to sink a load of money into the O8S, if we do it will likely be to change it into a hybrid O/K8S. But the O8S does look stunning
@@HardcoreRC wow, that souds interesting. Can You explain what are the benefits from adding some (and which) parts from K8S to O8S?
@@danielnoname8352 Really waiting to see what the K8 EXB is going to have on it. But the main difference between the K8 and O8 is the chassis length and shock length / travel.
O8S has the same size shocks all round, being the rear K8 shocks. So my hybrid would be K8 chassis (Not Arrma 😂😂) with same length shocks all the way round, 800kv motor, then lots of other upgrades, but not ready to sink that sort of money into it currently
@@HardcoreRC can not wait for it with similar durability test. I saw today an interesting upgrade, rovan shocks, 10mm thickness, that looks good 😁
@@danielnoname8352 Sound similar to the 30 degree north shocks that i believe have 8mm shafts and are as cheap as chips to replace
The stance of the shocks by the outcast are more on an angle instead of the xmaxx. A lot of energie when impact comes from the side when the shock going in. Maybe if you try to put it straight under the car it helps saving your shocks.
Cant change the stance of the shock though, its either bad design or inadequate shock shaft thickness, i suspect the latter in view the EXB now comes with 6mm shafts, shame they haven't also upgraded the RTR to 6mm shafts as well
What a shoot out you guys are Pros, PS play some OZZY for backgroung music he wont care.
Thanks - would love to play / add some commercial tracks, but then TH-cam goes mad and you get copy rights strikes/claims flying around 😥
Hi hardcore can you recommend gear upgrade for my xmaxx 8s I'm only getting 27 mph on grass
27mph on grass ? i would go 20t pinion and 50t spur - get the GDS ort hot racing ones
@@HardcoreRC thanks mate really appreciate it I'm just getting back into the rc. But this is the first time with electric 👌👍
@@martincrispin7654 No problem and hope you get it sorted out, welcome back into RC
@@HardcoreRC thanks mate I've ordered the gds ones looking forward to some speed out of the xmaxx now lol and thank you for the advice
@@martincrispin7654 that's ok - you should be seeing around 50mph now
mmhh very interessting. I jump hig and had no bending except when I landed side ways. Also the xmaxx is not stock and weights less then the outcast. But on the other hand I dont jump when its cold.
Many people have had this very issue with the shocks, hence why M2C brought our tougher shafts and also Arrma have beefed them up to 6mm shafts on the EXB, both cars jumping on same day so temperature had zero to do with it. Why do you say the Xmaxx wasnt stock ?
Sorry we have some problems with yt comments: some disappears from our page just after after the notification with no reason so I read only a part of your comment about lipo batteries on our channel! I can only answer here: we use dxf from two years ago so we had many of them and all we said on the video is based on our personal experience.
Thats ok - just said i like DXF packs as well for bashing, will be getting more, but wouldn't say they had good punch or lasted that long. For bashing and the price cant go wrong, but for racing, speed running, drag racing and wanting them to last lots of charges - nope deffo not for that
@@HardcoreRC we use them only for bashing, but a friend of us is a professional racer and use dxf batteries and he love them!!!
@@2040RC He may be being given better packs for racing.
As said love them for bashing as they are cheap, but for power and longevity - nope.
Did a test for DXF vs real race spec lipo - both 4s LiHv 8,000mah packs - th-cam.com/video/YRSlCRpENc4/w-d-xo.html
After just 20 charges and already have cells breaking down with high IR and not holding full charge - im not complaining as also had this happen to much more expensive lipos
Yeah I guys went alittle too high with the outcast lol. I just got the EXB outcast. So alot thicker shock shaft's. Awesome 👍 I wish I had that kind of skate park near me
Thanks, whilst same height for each the outcast shocks couldn't take it, glad to see that have gone from 5mm to 6mm shafts on the EXB which will deffo help, although a couple of my mates have bent those as well. Watch out for M2C 7mm versions coming soon hopefully, Outcast 8s is a great truck though and love the EXB body
@@HardcoreRC hell year il definitely get those 7mm from m2c if mine actually bend. I think armma usef better metal for them on the EXB. Other people haven't had any issue yet. Keep up the great videos HC RC 👊👍
@@paulrakis The M2C one also come with 7075 shock rod ends.
Think bending the EXB ones will come down to how extreme it gets sent, although i do wish Arrma had just gone straight to 7mm themselves.
Will try to keep putting out the great videos, thank you 👍
$930 for XMaxx, $900+ all the broken parts over and over again for the Arrma. Even the EXB's can't hold their own. Talk is cheap but parts aren't. Great demo and driving.
Thanks - cant comment on the EXB version as dont have one, but they have made the shocks better on the EXB, is it enough though
Glad I bought the Xmaxx 8s 😇
Xmaxx is without doubt the current 1/5th scale bashing king 👍
why is the one arm on the xmax red
We broke one in a prior video - with Traxxas you get color options when replacing (white, red, green, blue, orange, black) as the body it read i bought red spare arms :) but they are Traxxas arms not RPM or anything
@@HardcoreRC so really Xmas lost before the competition even started??? Lost by broken Arm?? How much you guys don’t compare when you’re trying to make the Xmas better anyway? When really it lost before the comp even started???
@@alitariq5968 Xmaxx arm broke on a totally different day, but if you want to look at it like that the Outcast lost before i even took it out the box as it came broken, Pinion lose, Receiver not bound, C clip missing and pillow balls loose. Of courser the other thing you could do is take the blinkers off and accept that on the day the Outcast 8s lost
Nicely done!
p.s. Traxxas Plastic is fantastic! 🤣
Thanks, and yet people still moan saying the Xmaxx is rubbish as its all plastic, I will be honest and once said i would never own an Xmaxx (how wrong was I, and boy am i glad i was wrong and now own one)
I kinda don't fault the outcast for bending shock shafts I mean heavy 5th scale trucks arn't really made to handle that kind of impact given its weight but I'm definitely impressed with the Xmaxx. I'm hesitant to get one because every traxxas vehicle I own required A TON of upgrades just to be able to make it through 1 Lipo or pair of lipos without somthing failing . both my revo 3.3 and e revo and Emaxx were absolutely terrible ! They cost me hundreds in upgrades to actually enjoy them and I still won't jump them .
Outcast is a big heavy beast, my biggest issue is that the truck is marketed and sold to be able to do this and it cant 🤷♂️🤷♂️
This is the only Traxxas we own, although do have another Traxxas coming very soon, so cant comment on how their other car perform, but the Xmaxx is really a great RC.
It does have some weak spots that are cheap and easy to deal with:
1) Rear hubs - change out to RPM that have a much bigger bearing, also RPM have just released front hubs, but not aware of any issues with the front hubs.
2) Hinge pins can pop out as the a arms flex, just replace certain hinge pins with two packs on RPM hinge pin that come with nuts on the end.
3) Spur and pinion gears, if they go replace with Hot racing or GSD hardened steel ones.
4) Diff out drives can crack, $20 gets you output drive cup rings.
We have beat the snot out of ours, broken 1 A Arm, front bumper mount, rear diff cover (£3.15)
the music starting at 3:36 is so good!!! so is the entire video :)
Thanks - Jack chose that track the boys have better taste in music than me 😂😂

@@jamiesonrc3690 Thoughts in my Mind by Swif7
@@HardcoreRC thank you
@@jamiesonrc3690 Your welcome 👍
Absolutly no mercy for the trucks i love it thats how i do it ! Drive break fix repeat 👍
Gotta have fun with them, plus couldn't call ourselves Hardcore if we just did silly little jumps 😂
Hehe. I have both of these beasts upgraded to big block engines. They are both amazing trucks. The Xmaxx is a bit more forgiving when you land bad. I changed my shock oil to 30wt all around on the Outcast 8s and that helps reduce the shock shafts from bending and the shock rod ends from breaking. It still happens, but less often. But I'm jumping this thing probably 20ft + in the air off my ramps 🤣
Thanks - Xmaxx is more forgiving, but the O8S just looks same damn nice 😂😂 plan on putting thinner oil in when i put the new M2C shafts in, thanks for the info on the oil weight 👍
@@HardcoreRC I did manage to snap off one of the M2C shock shafts in the rear, but after a lot of abuse, including 15ft concrete jumping over my friend and many more 20ft+ jumps on grass/dirt. 🤣
@@HardcoreRC Also the rear rod ends push themselves in. I just screw in the other side so that it can have the same camber and use the upper hole on the rear hub. No problem after that. But I did bend the actual metal rod later on, but after many many jumps. 🤣
@@joseCalderon1976 Thanks - will look into that
@@HardcoreRC After installing K8S rear shocks, K8S EXB links in the front and rear of my Outcast 8s and M2C chassis, those thing is truly a TANK. Check out my for details. Hehe. I also installed aluminum diff cases from Arrma to make the front and rear diffs bullet proof.
Great durability test!! Like you said they both had the same usage and punishment. Xmaxx hails as King Basher yet again!! I have both also. The Outcast breaks every usage where the Xmaxx would have drove away.
Thanks - dont think it can be laid out any other way, also still love our Outcast 8s, but stock it just doesnt bash as well as the Xmaxx
K6s beats xmaxx 100x.
@@benphillips1149 K6 jumps higher true, but again stock K6 would not have survived the slam into the ramp when the jump when wrong, the chassis would have bent, i know as done it a few times with our V4 K6 and 2 EXB Kratons (bent the chassis on all of them).
Also what is the relevance of brining the K6 into this ? this is matching up two cars in the same class, both 1/5th scale 8s monster/stunt trucks, K6 vs ERevo 2.0 would be where the K6 would come in. Its a bit like someone doing a real car review of a Lamborghini Urus and you saying but a Lamborghini Huracan is x100 time better - its totally and utterly irrelevant
