Thanks!! I try to improve consistently! Oh you mean the Derby City BoneYard?? 🤣 I’ve been wanting to do that for a few months now lol 🤘🤘

@@DerbyCityRC Love it! 😂

🤣🤣

Thanks!! 👍👍👊

That’s basically my thoughts lol Pretty sure I had to replace 9 parts just to complete this video lol

@@DerbyCityRC yikes. My wallet thinks it'll pass lol. Always wanted a MT10 but can never choose between that and the Granite. But that center diff man....ooowee

Yup! I wouldn’t buy it again, but I’d buy the mt10 5 times over. It has the center diff and the granite doesn’t! That was my main reason for choosing it. I think you’ll be happy!

Thanks man!! Super glad you find it helpful!!

Thanks!! Yes I agree. The 3s performances are not that far off anyway. I would feel pretty comfortable with the rival on 4s if the electronics could handle it. I should probably stuff my ramp with pillows 🤣🤣. Thanks again!!

Don’t just bash, blast to pieces!! 🤣 Thanks man!!!

Awesome!! Ya I love it for sure 😎😀😀

Haha thanks man! Hopefully you like the new house set up. I should be adding about 60 feet of driveway in the back yard with a ramp spot here pretty soon, which will be even nicer! Hey I just watched your collabs with Aldo a couple days ago. I watched it on the tv so I couldn’t comment but looked super awesome!!

@@DerbyCityRC That sounds wicked! Thanks alot man, it was an absolute blast! He s a solid guy to say the least

Super cool!!

Thanks!!

Mine too 🤣🤣

Oh I hear ya lol. I actually like my RC MT10E stock suspension so far. I took the motor, esc, and receiver off my cheetah and will just try to sell it as a roller lol

I agree! Though I believe the cheetah needs a few more parts to be upgraded than just the arms. Lol. The chassis, the body shell, and the 120a esc can all stay lol.

Nice! Yes I feel this was a good comparison, but durability wise, that cheetah falls way short. Performance is killer but I didn’t even get to run it to its full potential because it kept breaking before I could warm up to it again, since it’s been close to a year since I’ve actually had it out. Much harder to line up for a jump and harder overall to keep it on its wheels.

@@DerbyCityRC That's unfortunate! I chose the DHK Maximus over the Cheetah back in 2018 and it was incredibly fun and tough but it's got one major problem... The wheel will fly off too often from big jumps. The whole wheel will fall off from the hub with the hex extender attached. It's a pin contained by a rubber grommet. Otherwise it is super tough and fun.

Back in 2021 when I started, I was mainly comparing the cheetah, the Maximus, zombie, and the bison. Luckily the cheetah didn’t make me give up on the hobby lol

Thanks bro!!

There’s probably not as many videos because everyone who bought one ended up breaking it too many times and got rid of it lol The plastics are very fragile, the metals are weak. The ESC of the 120a version is very good. The motor seemed ok, but mine did break pretty early on still. The ESC is probably the only good part on the car from my experience. While the rival electronics are inferior in power, they’re still going strong!

It’s kinda hard to call it a race truck, but I know what you mean. It’s solid control with the center diff definitely makes it good for racing, but still cant really take turns too fast, the the sway bars help a lot. So just depends on the type of racing. A lower center of gravity would help a lot, like the Arrma senton.

Let’s not forget about the MT10’s short course brother the Pro4 SC10😅. I’ve owned both sc10 and mt10. My sc10 can go toe to toe with my friends 4wd slash. Slash is around £439 mine only £310😂

MT410

Ya that car looks great and I would love one lol

It’s definitely on my list!

lol you did!!

I agree! Funny thing is, the cheetah costs more than the rival at $389! The difference is, that does include a battery and cheapo charger. The fc610 is awesome and glad you got one! Beef it up and blast away!

That may be one of my next ones. Is it durable?? Lol

So far I've broke a shock rod end back rear and the body gets banged up from the shocktowers.

Get an extra driveshaft! Thing is friggin awesome man!! Straight up! And over

I changed the servo. Was way slow

All good to know!! The drive shafts break easily? Or the center one?

Ya just be gentle with her lol. I barely do run it anymore. The Mt10 is freakin awesome though. Already fixed it and have a super cool video of it coming soon!

I’ve thought about one, but right now I’m really looking for a good cheetah replacement. More like 3-4s like outcast 4s or traxxas Maxx. Kaiju is an option for sure!

🤣🤣 that’s right! The Mt10! Should absolutely be your next car! You know you love all 12 of those cars lol!

@Derby City RC can't wait to get home to play with my toys. THATS WHAT SHE SAID.!!

Haha!! Don’t beat ‘em too hard!!

lol I do. Don’t get me wrong it’s an amazing performer, but it breaks so easily. I drive like a psycho though so wouldn’t be bad for everyone lol

I’ve got a roller for sale lol

lol I don’t know. I mean that’s not my original cheetah body, I think it’s my third. The mt10, I have shoe goo’d with drywall tape. Really holds it together well!

Ya I’ve been breaking it a lot since I’ve had it and I’m careful not to land with it on power. I do however accelerate right after landing.

Ya it’s so fragile! Lol Probably done with it for good now. Been waiting to do this video for a while so I could retire it and use the electronics elsewhere. That’s cool that the big rock is more durable, we may be getting one soon. And yes, I do plan on getting an outcast 4s as the cheetahs replacement since it should have similar performance but be much stronger! Thanks for always having great input!

@@DerbyCityRC If you take the outcast 4S the big rock is redundant. Big rock is something like kraton that gives you both senton like and outcast 4s like abilities only not as accurate as both but very good. Since you have a senton already the outcast 4S is a blast!!!! even crazier than the strong performance cheetah.

Thanks! Razor RC isn’t very impressed with the outcast 4s v2 durability I noticed. He’s broken a couple chassis. Everyone’s experience is different though and most of his jumps are higher than mine it looks like (though I plan on building a new ramp to change that). Still doing more research on it though.

Haha! It’s like the universe knew I needed to know!

Great purchase! Well, of course a second rival would be cool. The Arrma Senton is a neat option: amzn.to/3jbBIWA Here’s a video on it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qq2fgbBlsM_WaHk.html Other similar cars would be the Arrma big rock or granite. Arrma outcast or Kraton 4s. Those are a bit more expensive, but may be one of my next ones. amzn.to/3Rbu0Iv Hope that helps!!

Actually I’ve never changed it! Whatever it comes with is pretty good!

I do think I would hold out for it. It will be back. You can use this link and I’m pretty sure you can buy it and they’ll send it when they get one. The way it controls makes it super fun. I also have a slightly different video with the mt10 coming out in about an hour! It’s one of the toughest and most fun cars I have, so my opinion is to wait, but I understand the out of stock thing is super annoying.

@Derby City RC Awesome!... Thanks for the advice!

You bet!!

Lol! I actually removed a lot of negativity on that car lol. Even a scene where I threw it into a trash can lol Wanted to show it, but not be too mean 😂

I don’t have a big rock, but I do have Senton. I can’t completely say how durable it is(though I did break a rear knuckle on a nasty jump). The big rock is probably close to the durability of the MT10, but I guarantee you it’s more durable than the cheetah.

Ya they are usually slower in reverse. Most bashers are either a lot slower or a littler slower. Thanks! I keep going cuz of the great comments!!

@@DerbyCityRC that’s good to know . I’ll cancel my return for bang-goods 😅 and get bashing nice for quick response . Respect

Ya man! You bet!!!

The jlb is definitely faster, but it’s hard to control. Even faster on 4s I’m sure! The rival could certainly use a bit of a motor upgrade but it’s one of my favorites for sure!

@@DerbyCityRC i see you spell check is like mine I had to type jlb like 3 times not to come up job lol thanks for the reply my friend

Haha, woops. Yup usually I catch my typos, but typing too fast lol

Get the V2 MT10 and RPM arms. You won’t regret it.

I agree!

I know it!! Honestly until this video, it had been quite a while since I had a dogbone break. That chassis brace I made and installed worked wonders in helping keep axles from breaking! Gonna be selling my cheetah as a roller soon lol. Can’t stand it anymore 🤣

Me too I never would have bought it!!

For sure! I haven’t run the cheetah in about a year. It broke so much and so easily, I didn’t even get used to it yet. Plus it is harder to control on the ground too (slow and weak servo) so really never got to hit the ramp at good speeds. Lol I repaired the car 5 different times for this video, which ended up being 9-10 parts. It really got frustrating!! Lol

I was close to getting the redcat MT10E, but kept seeing videos with it breaking way more than I saw the rival breaking lol Everyone’s experience is different. It almost doesn’t matter cuz I break all of it lol!

@@DerbyCityRC I know but you enjoy breaking them 😂 👊! And I think the major problem with the MT10e is the servo saver needs a upgrade and it is available. 👊

I don’t mind breaking them, as long I get through atleast 80% of a battery pack first 🤣. The damn cheetah broke 5 times before going through a single pack 😂 I’ll add it back to my list of future possibilities lol!

Oh I know that now 🤣

@@DerbyCityRC 🤣

I’ve been subscribed to you for a while your style is authentic you should push a lot more content you might be the next big thing

Thanks man. I’m pushing it out as quick as I can lol. Have a lot in the home and professional life going on as well, but my goal is one video a week. Lately it’s been more like 14-20 days which I hate! I’m trying though 😃

Haha! Exactly!

Ya not at all 🤣 My cheetah is for sale as a roller just haven’t listed it yet lol

Yes for sure the heavier it is, the easier it will break, but I still say these are similar comparisons. Someone looking at a true 1/10 scale under $400 would likely be looking at these two and usually weight isn’t a huge factor for a purchase. The cheetah is a good performing car, but even with its weight, I feel it breaks too easily. I’ve said that pretty much as long as I’ve had it. If the cheetah had less metal like the MT and had more flexible plastic, it would probably be cheaper to make, and be more durable. If they made those changes, I’d probably buy another one. Not trying to hate on the car, but I wish I would have seen this comparison 2 years ago.

@@DerbyCityRC okay I hear you thanks for straightening me out I really like both cars and thanks for the comparison you're doing good work you know I subscribe to you more power to you thanks

Thanks man!! It’s all relative to what people want out of their RC car 😎

💯% 🤣

Nice job! *hands over a cookie with only one bite already taken out

@Derby City RC I'll throw in the rest of my milk with that cookie!🙈🤣🤣👍👍🦾🦾

Nice man!! Kinda warm milk or you kept it chilled?? 😀

@@DerbyCityRC 🤣 it's as cool as I am brother! = downright cold‼️🤣🤣👍👍🦾🦾

Haha, nice! Can’t give a better gift than that! 😎👍🚀🤘

This is 100% correct!! Lol
