I, along with some other people, am not a brand snob. Some brands do stuff better then others. Some people have a loyalty to a certain brand. That's fine, whatever. But come on, y'all would think after so many years, Mark knows what he's talking about. And you would think it's a good thing he doesn't just stick to one brand. As he said, yes Traxxas is a short drive from his house! If I lived that close, I'd be there all the time too!! If there was giant (insert brand name here) store near your house, you'd be there too. Keep doing what you're doing Mark!! 🤘 Don't worry about folks complaining!

@galph8035 2 жыл бұрын

No matter how heated these discussions can get we all need to understand that we are very fortunate to be be able to even have them! The fact that Arrma joined the race and took a company behemoth like Traxxas head on is ultimately beneficial to EVERYONE. Competitors like Traxxas and Arrma or Tekno and TLR will always drive each other further down the innovation line.

@alb9022 2 жыл бұрын

companies don't drive each other forward if they want to get bitchy over "patents" and sue each other over money, like the Traxxas v Arrma incident over the Forza/Nero "patented" inboard/cantilever shock configuration

I have over 60 rc's, Traxxas, Arrma, Losi etc. When people walk in to my garage the first question they have, after questioning my sanity, is always "which one is your favorite?" My answer "my next one." Every rc is Rad!

I've been in this hobby since 86. I get what you're saying about the MT class. I started out a Traxxas guy- but for me, I switched to Arrma when the RTR price point was basically cheaper than a new E-Revo. I got the same ground clearance, power and size and Arrma was more durable. That being said, I don't know why everyone got so reved up over your review. That was about the most impartial vent from a racer who is usually a Traxxas guy. Hats off to you man.

@HaulinAzzzovs 2 жыл бұрын

Thoughts from a recent returner to the hobby… I spent 30 years away from rc cars. Got back into it about 3 months ago, so I absolutely prefer to know what to expect “straight outta the box” with any car, without any mods to it. Sure, I want to know what I can do it as well, but that’s what upgrade tutorials & youtube playlists are for. Unboxings need to be a box stock, newbie friendly review video. That greatly improves the odds that they make an informed purchase regarding their goals for any rc. Each local hobby shop in my area takes more than an hour, just to get to, so for me, a single lhs trip kills an afternoon. If I had *ANY* brand with a physical location “just down the street”, 90% of my rc’s would be from that manufacturer. Lastly, you’re one of my favorite rc channels on youtube. Keep doin’ what you do. A lot has changed since back in the day when my 80’s Tamiya was state of the art. I’ve learned a ton from your vids and I really appreciate it. 👍

This is why I like watching your channel! Your comments are honest from what you experienced wrenching on a rc.

I was around when we were running monster truck. Traxxas Revo and TMaxx, Associated MGT, Tamiya TNX, Losi LST, HPI Savage.. awesome times. That was back when the nitro MT classes were separated by engine size. Small block (less than .21) and big block (.21 and over).

Totally fair points, I built my exb with rtr spektrum electronics and it was underwhelming. Did some tuning like what was suggested in the last video and it’s an animal now. Also for anyone to know you’re racing background and think you don’t know about oil weights or punch settings is just silly.

@Megasty15 2 жыл бұрын

Both platforms have an insane amount of upgrades & aftermarket support. Most of it is unneeded if you lightly bash them. BUT, more metal will weigh the trucks down, effecting both performance & handling. Even the toughest 7075 parts can bend & break under enough stress. For the Kraton, I added a HD wing mount, aluminum bulkheads, center diff case, center brace holders, hinge pin holders, & hubs. For the E-Revo, I did chassis braces, tie rods/ends, RPM arms, & hubs. Neither have RTR electronics. Both have max8 equivalent systems. The most important thing for the Kraton is keeping the chassis from bending. For the E-revo, it's keeping the bulkheads from flexing/breaking & keeping debris out of them.

As far as comparing the 2 it is a shame you are not able to compare the revo to the nero that Arrma once sold! Both brands are awesome and i will continue to purchase both. It would be nice to see Arrma be able to bring back the Nero!

Keep doing you bro. I grew up with Traxxas, have a modified 2.0 revo and a EXB talion. Only 2 6s rigs i use anymore. Both are fantastic fun. Talion takes the corners faster but the revo handles uneven terrain better. Some spots feel better with certain trucks so I take em both. I've owed every revo platform to date but I can't take away how damn good arrma platforms handel underspeed and can live through mishaps to do it again.

I had to thicken the center diff to help out with backflips and air control. The e revo I had to do a little more with rpm arms, axles and a new power system. They are both keepers.

Great video you nailed it. I was tempted to skip this one thinking, "You can't really even compare the 2", but you said it right, Kraton is a truggy, yet it is a MONSTER of a truck hahahahah. This is super educational for folks who weren't rc'ing back in the day :) My favorite truggy back in the day, was a modified Nitro vspec with extended hubs and some Associated monster truck tires. Keep having fun and again great job !!!!! I love both my Traxxas and Arrma vehicles, No discrimination here LOL. Another thing you touched on that people forget, is when I break one of my Traxxas vehicles I literally laugh, as I know I have 6 options within a 30 min drive and they will all likely have the needed parts in stock. When I break one of my favorite Arrma cars/trucks I want to cry knowing if I dont have the parts in my toolbox in stock, I may not be enjoying this bad boy for a while. Maybe it's just where I live, but it can sometimes take months to get needed parts for some of my Arrma stuff. In the end it's all about fun, and this can affect how much fun you are having :) Cheers everyone

I like any and all hobby grade rc companies because they all put a smile on my face. Because at the end of the day thats what its all about. Most of use have more then one platform so if one is broke we can still run till parts parts come or we just have to fix it. For the new guys I would suggest buying as many parts as you can. Cause no matter the brand they all break at some point. Run break fix and repeat its what we do and love doing it. Never was one for brand bashing. But I am for running what ever makes ( YOU)!!! happy.

Also originally for Mt racing there was no center diff if I recall. Guys used to take the og revo 2.2 (before erevo) and put a center diff in them which then made them run in the unlimited monster truck class which is what later developed into the truggy class as guys converted buggys to run in the umt class.

I have nothing but Armma 😆.But If I had that Traxxas store down the road, I feel things might be different 😛

Great video, thanks for explaining the whole diff height thing! I've always thought the Kraton was a more truggy than MT, but why do people get all butthurt over that? That's the truth, and the truth is just what kind of car it is!

I'm not a huge Traxxas fan, I own a couple and they're great for people who have a hobby shop nearby. Personally, I prefer my Arrmas but they are also not without their own issues, and require a certain level of experience and investment of time and money to get to what I consider to be a reliable state. All RCs are like that. I think everything you said in this video is pretty spot-on. Kratons are truggies. Its a fact.

Ya mark everyone has a reason for what they have. I mostly have traxxas but my hobby shop carries a huge parts supply for them. But my son got an arrma senton and i think it is a blast ti drive. I am not brand loyal either. One of my first cars was a tamiya tl01 which i still have. Started out with planes then moved to cars. All of them are fun to ride. Thanks for your videos.

Mark, The kraton is a team Durango truggy! It's based of the DEX8. In fact lots of the old Durango parts are interchangable.

Mark I'm with you I've had Traxxas since I was a kid! platinum Revos all the Traxxas stuff! But the thing is I even admit that the kraton platforms are a leg up on the Traxxas trucks and I own both... What do I take out more often?? Not my e Revo 2.0 I take my kraton 8s why because it's easier to work on that's it. People need to do research on an rc imo mark. I knew you knew but box stock was the way to do your vid imo. You rock bro!! Hope to meet ya someday
