The simple fact the Big Rock keeps getting compared to and run against the Maxx says volumes about it. The Maxx is a beast but too expensive. The Big Rock and Granite have to be the best value bashers you can buy. Not the best but the best value.

I’ve got both and they are both brilliant. The rock is on another level in the air, and the steering is much quicker and more direct than the maxx. I have spent another £400 on the maxx upgrading it just to get it to where it could compete with the rock. The rock is standard but it ripped its front cvd apart and I’ve replaced with gpm but that’s it. Much better value. But you can tell it’s made cheap. But I think that’s what makes it as durable as it is.

@Humpalumpur 3 жыл бұрын

I do not have a Kraton but a Tekno MT410 and the BR, which is a similar combination. The MT410 is by far the better performer but the BR is just a blast to drive. After a few upgrades, it turns into an indestructible basher. It is so relaxing when you know, that you do not have to worry when attempting insane stunts. Even one of my friends was considering selling his Kraton and get the BR instead.

I just got my big rock in last week..... ( I've only had traxxas crawlers with the exception of my newer model rustler 4x4 bls-2) and I ran my big rock for about 3 mins until rear wheel fell off. Got the wheel back on next day I went to drive it at the skate park but once again about 3 minutes in I noticed the front wheel was so loose it was about to fall off so I put her up since I had no tools on me. I got home later that evening and found so many things loose on it which I found very odd for a brand new unit. My front wheels were so crooked looking so I adjusted them to be pretty straight and inline..... but now I looking at your truck and seeing your front wheels are very toed out. Think mine will be OK with the wheels alignment ?

compared to the Maxx, the Big Rock looks and sounds like a toy, but damn does it mean business! Also, I'm not sure if this is true, but based on the parking lot runs, it seems as if the Big Rock handles better, being that it didn't flip. It seems much more stable in that sense, and I'm glad that's what I decided to go with as my RC of choice for my upcoming birthday. I'm becoming somewhat of an ARRMA fanboy as a result of their lower pricing for similar performance.
