I've removed the post correcting me on my mistake about the Traxxas wheel Hex design. I'm always happy for people to correct me if i'm wrong hence why I pinned the post and thanked him. I pinned it so others could see my mistake while I corrected it. Now that I've removed the said 'miss information' from the video, we can all leave in peace and harmony.... ....well, until the next time I dare to get something wrong 😅 Look a this >>>>> s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dcyb9hN

I feel the same way about the place in terms of the use-case for the XRT over the XMAXX. Low slung, great handling, speed and big. Everything I wanted, as I'm also not a crazy basher. I also couldn't get 50 out of the box, not that I felt it was slow at this size.

The XRT is a BEAST 🔥 I'm not a TRAXXAS fan by no means but the XMAXX & XRT are absolutely awesome. 2 of the best RCs imo.

I like that it’s plastic and if by chance you break a chassis it’s only $30-40. Kraton is over $100 and bends.

Great video. I believe traxxas made the bumper mount a weak point on purpose. It's cheap and easy to replace. More rigid components can sometimes transfer too much stress to other components.

This is a fun video to watch. When it was on the BMX track it was right at home. To see it jump and land so well is quite impressive. One of coolest things was the on board shot when you were doing the speed runs. You could see how the tires distorted. Keep up the good work.

He's trying as hard as he can to hold in every giggle and smile, not wanting to be a Traxxas fanboy!!!😜 I didn't like Traxxas either at first, but the balance, the speed, power, the durability, will turn you into a fanboy against your own will!!!🖤

"You dont have to spend this sum of money to have fun". Thats it, in a nutshell.

I like how he starts with a critical outlook and then giggles shortly after.. 😁👍🏻

Just met the Man himself such a nice bloke, thanks for taking your time to chat and sorry for approaching you whilst with your family! Michael old.

Thanks, a great video. This is more my driving style too. I find it difficult to assess what a car is like to really drive when it's been driven to destruction. As much as I like watching Kev's videos, I find yours give balance to the whole thing so I can judge what a car would be like to live with for normal driving. Might have to start saving some pennies....

Everytime I think to myself "this is the year I get a good Traxxas", I see the price and I die inside. I see the cost of replacement parts and I die inside again. That's 2 months rent for me lol

$1000 ain't bad my full race truggy in 2009 cost north of $1300 USD Losi 8ight T Nitro team roller electric converted with controller and 2 batteries. Or at least that's where I stopped counting.

@Tomley RC it's hilarious that folks gets so outa whack by others opinions or experiences with certain fan boi brands. ✌️ ❤️ 😊.

I really like the XRT. There are some better wing mount designs on thingiverse to print in TPU. I was able to hit 50mph exactly with SMC batteries. Great video!

Beast!! And bless the sponsors that allowed you to get this bad boy for us to see 😉

never had a problem with my xmaxx gears, I believe they corrected it.. from what I've heard im in no rush to get an XRT.. Love the green.

The weather bit was interesting. We have the same sort of things happen in the southern US. Yesterday it was sunny in my front yard and downpour in the back yard. The sound caught my attention and it took me a minute to figure out what was going on. Lol

None of us "bash" by other top dog standards however great XRT video. You've scaled things up alot this year already 👍

How satisfying to get the double landing...smooth like butter 👊🏻

Traxxas tough!!!💯

Do like these a lot but not sure I can justify one when I have my Xmaxx. Agree the xmaxx does feel clumsy but I think its still a better overall bash anywhere truck over the XRT. That said the XRT will no doubt be way better on a track. Nice to see Mr Anti Traxxas getting himself yet another Traxxas vehicle... clearly a secret Traxxas Fanboy (Can't fool us anymore) Haha happy new year mate. Enjoy

Of course, we have the main 7 channels that get free Traxxas RC cars for reviews that praise this thing like it's some god and they have a subscriber base that will attack anyone who is misinformed, tells the truth, or criticizes "some" of Traxxas vehicles. So unfortunate as they get a thrill out of talking down to reviewers who spend their own money on name-brand RC Vehicles. Glad you haven't ever turned into one of them Phil. Keep doing you, buddy. Don't get me wrong I love some of my Traxxas Rc vehicles but some channels think Traxxas is some kind of RC Saints that can do no wrong.

Adding the Flying Circus is perfect. Nice touch.

Fantastic video, probably in the top five of the best you have ever made. It was through you that I bought my first premium RC when you were filming a Senton on the same track, this sold it for me and I have been thrilled with it, this cost four times as much as the previous kit I used to buy. Again, through you, I nearly gave up with the hobby as those less expensive models did nothing for me, they were barely “hobby grade” and I found them dull as ditch water and unexciting. I took time out and returned and bought the Senton, there are others I have bought through your recommendation (can’t remember which at this time) and my collection has grown somewhat! Regarding spending lots of loot on so called “big boy toys”, at the end of the day you pay for what you get, companies need to make profits. I have a few Traxxas including the Xmaxx which I adore (bought through “Beyond RC” recommendation), it never fails to make me beam a smile nor does it fail to attract an audience but that might be down to my rubbish driving, how you manage to drive one handed is amazing, I can only manage walking and talking at the same time. Keep the videos rolling, a fantastic and entertaining channel.

These big rc’s are cool but so impractical. Even that BMX track locked small for the car! What about. 6s 1/8 basher? Do you have any of those?

Just got done with the podcast episode and now I'm here. Was awesome to learn more about your journey!

Traxxas fleet steadily growing 🤣

Looked right at home at that track, i cant believe it didnt break anything on that landing 😯

This is my favorite XRT review! Cheers from the states! 👍 Just scrolling thru the comments.....I didn't verify but it feels like the your Traxxas videos garner a lot of comments........a lot of folks invested in Traxxas.....great video BTW.

Listened to your Spotify interview when driving home from work. Wish i got into RC years ago as its a steep learning curve. I grew up in the 90s but was only aware of toy grade Rc's. Hobby Grade didn't exist as i never see one.

"not designed to be sent 30 40 50 feet off a skate park ramp" lol dig at the old KT there hahahha

Awesome channel, keep it up and enjoy yourself Tomley!👍🏻👍🏻

Coming back to this after i've had the 3d printed wing mount on and being flipped/rolled quite a few times i haven't ripped it. I got mine off go2mph on e bay it does look similar though.

i think the word for this is 'Refined' virtually an Xmax but more planted and better handling as well as seeming more at home with jumps

Flex is good. That was my secret as a d and d driver. My cars were springy.

Glad I got one now. Had it a month and not used it yet. Great video. I would like to see you race that with Kev instead of indoor racing.

There's reasons why Traxxas has part walls in almost every hobby shop they sell Traxxas at that takes up half the store. People just keep giving them money 💰

Love your content keep it coming .I have just picked up my first 1/8 scale rc and I got the Arrma kraton 6s v5 and I love it

I have never been a fan of the x-max, but in this config, i may be tempted ;)

The bending of the chassis, is the reason it doesn't break :D is it wouldn't be as flexible as it is, it'll break sooner!

Congrats for 110k

TOMLEY BASHER ERA!!

@5:59 amazing soft touch down nice!!!

Tomley praising a Traxxas means it’s really good

I should of got the Arrma Karton EXB it has sway bars, adjustable turnbuckle 9mmm think. Don’t get me wrong plastics are fantastic

Is that a public track? That place is sick! I want this in my back yard. So cool. Lol ummmm you aren't the Christmas story boy that almost put his eye out with a bb gun are you?? Lol i still want a leg lamp myself. Great video my brother! Shout out from Tennessee!

We need some sheep shirts brother!!Sweet Traxxas 😊🤣🤣🤙🍻

Keep doing what your doing Phil. Great job buddy. John

My 4th RC Mojave EXB (Discontinued now), with HW Max6 4985 + FlySky NB4 and OMG 40KG Servo I too spent thousand dollars on a toy 🤦‍♂ but I loving it. haha

I once bought a Kraken Vekta 5 which was about £1200 as a roller. Biggest POS I've ever bought in my life

Pretty impressive truck, Phil! 😃 Fantastic bashing and review! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Me: I'll put aftermarket if I want. Traxxas:yeah. Me: o yeah. Traxxas: Fine. 😔

it took that landing because its traxxas tough! k8 would have exploded 😂

"don't land on full power that's how you kill gears" that's why go fast boats have a throttle man and pilot.......when you get 8 tons of boat out of the water when the props freewheel in the air then hit the water you snap crank shafts, prop shafts, and drive shafts..... I had a 30 footer and imaging your bmx hills are waves and your traxxas is a boat!

I loved the chaotic unboxing portion of this video.

Cool you has new xrt Traxxas I will like 👍😀😎

Stoning was hilarious 😂. You're a legit traxxas fan now now 🤣

TRAXXAS KRATON! how innovative "Lets make a kraton, but plastic" Brill yent mate

Perfect jumps on the pump track

You should get the Traxxas maxx

traxxas tough my xmaxx and xrt are my favourite rc at the moment even tho its plastic its built tough and cheap to replace will keep them both relatively stock with better esc and servo upgrade and better pinion and spur gears

Great Video :) I love the XRT... will i ever get one .. maybe 2nd hand sometime .. but believe it or not my fav vehicle to use is still my 2wd Traxxas Slash it never fails to make me smile

I’ve got 2 x maxs and 2 XRTs love them both in diferant ways 2 completely different trucks

A new rc car, nice and clean, i hate that the get so dirty and smashed after only a few runs

Great video Phil! Thanks for sharing. I love how you pinned an ignorant comment, calling you ignorant! LMAO😂 Irony is the best comedy! 👍👌👊

Escs aren’t too bad anymore, motors are brilliant, servos are underpowered though

That title 😂

Respect! I know it has a lot to do with who's using it, but that thing stayed upright most of the time it seems! Also I love your choice of video title. Nicely done, sir.

Great video

Your edits crack me up 😂

I believe if you put the little holes in tyres to clear dirt. When at full throttle tyres will be more rounded shape making less of sharp triangle shape. This will in turn create larger grip area to road and more traction. Which should increase speed a bit.

If I landed my 5th scales like that they would bend the front ends and need a 100 worth of parts lol

You may want to try out a Redcat Shredder. $400, 4S and similar size.

I'm interested to know what you use for a camera on your vehicles.

That's a great track.

Hmm it looks pretty cool but the xrt performance is a bit underwhelming compared to the arrma talion which is more lively and agile. I think traxxas have made this truggy too big and heavy 🤔 Battery options look limited in the xrt also?

that bmx track looks awesome I need to find some places to go for me and my son like this

Gave this one some love for the Python and the smack in the head lol. Epic Mr Tomley as usual.

The car looks incredible but there are lots of cheaper alternatives. After getting a slash vxl and fully modyifing it i ended up having the same trill from a small tamiya buggy running on small carpet tracks. Sometimes we think that the more money the more fun and enjoyiment but i have to disagree!

Where can I get one of those small GPS for my rc cars. By watching your videos I have purchased my first rc 75km/h 4/w off-road. 124007, dude, and you keep making your cool, informative videos.

That thing looks awesome

Check out Dr xmaxx xrt wing mount

As Kev would say, "All man!" He got blasted by an rc and still showed the footage to everyone 😂

Happy Friday the 13th

ground off the gears on the 5th run. Put in real steel gears and no problems since, and the spoiler is still intact. charlie c

That was cool , I’m really getting into fifth scale , I have a 30dnt roller headed my way and a humongous electric motor to go in it ! 😂 it’ll run in to well over a grand but, the good thing about that is my wife doesn’t know 😂😂😂 great video

What a monster! 💪

Tomley likes it!

Love the antics. 😂

Traxxas Fanboi !! JK, i love my UDR and TRX4

That black and green tho!

Great video as always, where is the skate park you used please? Looks fun, my kids would love it. 😊

Am happy to buy a couple of 6s corally for me and the boy instead of one of these......hat you think?

Very nice review, didn't expect that you would like such a big car. For an optimization of the XRT, maybe you want try some stuff from JS-Parts in Germany, than you have some solide solutions for these issues. I use some JS-parts on my Corally Dementor and Arrma Talion, I'am happy with that. Cheers

Awesome RC and bash, great review

I like that to , Thanks for a awesome video . Now I should stop dreaming about a Rc car I can’t afford 😂😂😂

I like an rc that challenges you to keep it in control and upright, I don’t feel as though the XRT offers those challenges like the Xmaxx does

Looks sick in green 💪🏻

I just got mines yesterday I love mines
