Yea they're trying to botch axial too apparently

@@makertime6296 Horizon has done some decent upgrades but in downgrading the composite material used overall seems to be a less durable machine then the previous Hobbico built ones for sure.. I'm not a fan of the spectrum electronics either especially the motors.. With all that said there wouldn't be any Arrma anymore if Horizon didn't buy them as Traxxas sued Hobbico out of business

Not sure. The v5/EXB 6s arms are very durable. Many other new parts are very durable

@@FLPatrick1095 I'm speaking on the mega/3s and 4s line..The 6s line does not run composite chassis therefore is irrelevant to this conversation.

@@philthyco1 ya I agree my original granite was a better truck by far than brcc I bought after horizon . But I tell you I just ran my 6s outcast original v1 and even that truck seems better than newer ones . Even with all upgrades on v2 . Have figure material used on bulked heads and such is different. Out all my arrmas really only one with original parts and it's the oldest still has original motor mount

Send him one for promo!

Was thinking the same thing. Super great adjustment.

#arrmafanboy yea changing a chassis after every run is "what we do" 🥴

With that logic all of his rigs should break the chassis on every run right? ..I mean he jumps them all the same so....

I'm talking more about this specific location where he doesn't/hasn't run here alot. I think with the bigger rocks/terrain it's probably suited more for a metal chassis. If you land on a decent size rock off a 20-30 foot jump that plastic chassis trucks won't fair that well. I guess time will tell if he keeps breaking the chassis's or if this was a tough break and some bad luck at this spot. If it was just the jump itself I'd imagine he's gonna break the chassis every outing or have it happen multiple times. My point was most people won't have this be a issue as he's sending them crazy high onto rough rocky terrain. It's definitely gonna be interesting to see if he has the same issue again or was a breakage that comes with jumping them so high on rough grade terrain. His review is probably coming soon

@@cwatson42785I was just messing with you bro lol..With that said he takes all his rigs to the same locations ..There is zero excuse for chassis breaking every run..Dude he broke 5 chassis already lol

@@philthyco1 He broke 5 already? Damn that's crazy

At the minimum at least have metal pivot balls. Having a plastic chassis I can understand to keep costs down but having plastic pivot balls is just asinine on a $500 RC

Nah. Aluminium bends, especially 6061. 7075 is better, but at the thicknesses Arrma and Traxxas use (3mm), there's no real advantage.

The point of these is how light it is..

I saw another comment talking about the weight of the 4s battery maybe contributing to that. So they recommended some foam padding under the battery. I'm gon do it today before I take it out next and be mindful of heavy lands when I've got the 4s in. I've got a couple of old 3s that I run to much success because I switch the controller down to 50% power because 100% is just too much for me. on a circular bmx track that's about 20 metres (66ft) end to end having a max speed of 55mph isn't much use to me lol

@@h5d8kirkb3pw i haven’t done the 50% throttle option, is it much slower then 100%, i was thinking about setting the punch level down slightly to see if it changes much. Thanks for responding 😉👍🏽💯

The battery doesn‘t move when you jump, so there is no force from the upper side on the chassis. The force from the bottom side is much much stronger when landing. The bigger the battery, the bigger the force. If there is a little stone, the whole force is baled on that point and the Chassis cracks.

@@DaDa-ei1zz Ever sit in your car, hit the gas, then feel yourself get pushed back into your seat? Even though you're not moving much, you can feel the force from the acceleration. That's what force is, mass x acceleration. The heavier the battery and more acceleration from bigger jumps, the more force is created against the chassis underneath the battery when the truck suddenly lands/stops. That's why adding foam underneath the battery is an easy fix, helps absorb the forces to prevent the chassis from cracking. It's not cracking because it's hitting a stone, you can see the cracks right underneath the battery tray from the forces of the battery.

@@geodude3966 The battery is bound to the Chassis so it is one Mass. You can do the foam thing but it won’t help completely. The Chassis breaks because of Newtons third law. Broke two chassis of the Granite. Under the Motor and on the side. It broke because of hits against the ground.

@@DaDa-ei1zz It broke underneath the battery, that's how the battery straps got cut off.

Even electric RCs? That's some serious BS. Edit: the law is BS, not your comment

Plus I'd bet chassis cracked from landing on a rock 🪨 even aluminum it be all dented up but like razor said ultimately better #

Try loosening your slipper 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn

Probably be a good idea to use some *blue loctite to prevent them from backing out in the future.

I've taken mine out for two battery packs and noticed the steering was quite soft. It was mentioned in another video that the servo savers can be too soft on a RTR so their recommendation was upgrade to a stronger servo and an aluminum servo horn. I'll keep rolling with mine to see how I go before putting more money in it. Funnily enough I was doing laps and it took me a while to notice becuse I was turning left most of the time and the car wasn't turning right.... hahah I'll check my shaft screws now. Thanks for the note.

Terrain is really rough, for sure

December really 😫 mine just says on order no date now

@@raresttortoise YEP☹️

Who told you this?

@@DaDa-ei1zz I think we should get them within then next 2 - 4 weeks max

It did say 24th August but now have no date 🤷

@@codnamerich is there a different name to search? Looks like that name doesn't pull anything up

Broken link or arm is nothing compared to snapping a chassis though but yes new releases will always have some kind of quirks but this is nothing new with the horizon arrma composite chassis rigs.. The 3s chassis snap in half lol

Not yet, but I’ve driven the Kraton, Punisher, ERevo, Granite, Big Rock and a whole bunch of others there.

My guess would be that the sledge chassis would not survive those flat landings on that type of terrain

@@RazorRC Would be nice to see some durability rankings for that kind of use.

Nam sayin?

Arrma Big Rock v3 3s

Corally Sketer...it's heavy, but tough & reliable. Also hard to go wrong with the Rival MT10.

Vorteks. Fast and tough.

People are swearing this is the best rc on the 4s range. Depends what you want

@@rcmakingtracks18 not when a 4s kraton or outcast is the same price

It's funny how arrma guys say changing out entire chassis is nothing but when Redcat came out and the Kaiju and needed upgraded rear links cuz they snap everyone said it was a POS even though redcat sent out the new updated links for free lol.. Point being arrma guys will defend needing to swap out entire chassis a very time-consuming process but will shun other RC companies having minor flaws that take a few dollars and literally a few minutes to fix lol..Not saying that you ever said this or you think this way I'm just speaking in general..Cheers

Lol this was a fairly light bash session. Jury is still out but I don't think it should have cracked that easily.

@@philthyco1 Reminds me of E9x M3 owners saying that rod bearings are regular maintenance parts

@@Albertotron all BMW m cars need regular rodbearing maintenence. Not just the e9x. It's annoying, but they slightly tamed down race bred engines. Nothing special changing rodbearings on such an engine.

@@philthyco1 well doing massive jumps and landing on uneven terrain or land on a bolder spmething going to snap

Don't worry, the Arrma is going to get hacked for the bad chassis in this vehicle review too. Disaster does not imply cause, it implies result (broken).

Cool. Brutal honesty is the only way i've found that gets to the truth and right now i'd really like to know which basher/stunt truck would have the best ROI.

The sledge was Legit breaking spurs on their first run. By ur logic the sledge is trash then right? Or no?

Your momma

Oh that was original

Lol OK kid. Stick with your super awesome indestructible traxxas and us adults will run our arrmas....Imagine a rc breaking! No way! Lmaoo

I’m 44 years old I’m pretty sure you are looking like my kid

Come fly helicopters with me I been doing rc for thirty years
