Yes. The answer is yes. The hoss is a good car, but it's just a parts bin special. Throw together some leftovers and charge a premium

Hoss is amazing in the air. I bought the Maxx recently for toughness and 4s, but I also love the Hoss!! It is not overpriced, really. Maxx is a bargain though, to me. They are much cheaper trucks out there, obviously, both require upgrades. Good video...

Kev, you just have to be one of my favorite KZfaqrs ever. I don’t really think people appreciate you enough.

Epic video. Kev's hysterical laughing when Ian Blew his Kraton always has me LOL.

One of the best R/C reviewers. Funny too. 😂 We just got a hoss and love it.

Man! that 360 camera fotage is realy impressive i hope we see more of this in the future 👍

“Hey my RC car got stuck in your tree. Can I get it back?”

I’m getting a hoss for christmas and I can’t wait for it! Each and every video on the car has just made me even more excited and this one made me want it even more 😁

Just got into rc this year, after a bit of searching I went with the hoss. Lots of fun, and I never regretted getting it. That being said, for the 3-4 months I've had it, I've spent more time fixing it than driving it. Broke on its first time out. It's a drive shaft killer for sure, and the steering and arms are pretty weak. Servo is absolute garbage, best upgrade I did was the servo. Got myself a Maxx about a month ago and my first thought was I should have just bought the Maxx in the first place. It drives better, jumps better, feels much more sturdy and substantial. I'm trying to break it so I can have an excuse to work on it and I can't, where as with the hoss I was careful and it broke anyway. From my personal experience it's not even a fair comparison. The Maxx is light-years ahead of the hoss, and very much worth the extra money up front.

So the Hoss is like the Maxx's annoying little brother

7:47 thats what she said! 😂

The GoPro camera jumping video is awesome would love too see something like that on the long jump

It's incredible how much abuse these things can take. Back in the 80's with my Big Foot, I replaced the gears about every other time I ran it.

Nice Video Kevin! I agree the mini Maxx is ultimately the better value. But what you still need to try is the Wide Maxx conversion with steel drive shafts. Its a whole different beast, way more stable, and should be sold that way from Traxxas out of the box. Try it and you will see!

Maxx all the way I’m surprised how cheap it gotten

You need the Benny hill tune when chasing Clair. Lol

I started watching your videos and I enjoyed them so much I went out and got me a Traxxas Slash 2w( I am a beginner. ) It's awesome! Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see more

Awesome video! Loving that 360 camera!!

Personally I like them both. The Maxx is already on my wish list but the hoss is also on my wish list too.

You make it look SO FUN ,KEVIN ! 😉

Best dual/comparison vid in a long time! Btw - Claire said it was "like you on sugar"....as long as it's NOT "like you on sugar-free"!

The Hoss is pretty close to be fair to it. That slash style chassis family still has some miles in it yet. It does indeed seem a little more stable and thanks it's lighter weight, it seems to be very responsive to the throttle while in the air. I always thought it would be good though, even if it is a parts bin special. I would still be temped to go for the Maxx though.

Team Hoss! Yeah, it's a parts bin car. But I have a Slash, and that thing is tough! So, they're great parts in that bin. Also, since it shares parts....it gonna share parts from my parts bin, and use the batteries I already have. Plus what others have said about being lighter. Lastly, those parts are gonna be cheap for repairs too. Love em both though obviously.

That speed tracker is no right at all the Maxx and Hoss were both going way over 35.

I still prefer the Maxx. It can ollie (or bunny hop) as well and it is the small version of the almighty X-Maxx. The Hoss looks like a great MT as well, but I think it is a little overprized (at least in Europe). Great video, as always.

Love Love LOVE that 360 follow car camera ACTION!!!! 🤤🤤🤤

I am going to get one of those eventually.

Yessss! I’ve been wanting this video. 🤘

Hey Kevin i got an idea for the limitless instead of direct drive try putting a smaller tooth pinion gear on the shaft to the diff then do a larger pinion on the motors, its essentially overdrive and if done right faster than direct drive

Thanks Kevin for helping me keep my truck looking like new . I let you beet your trucks up .

Amazing, I click the notification and a,ready 50 comments lol

Love the vid and what are your thought on a duel fan system for my motor

I got the hoss first...awesome truck! I do plan on getting the Maxx on my way to the Xmaxx!

The V2 is definitely worth the additional $$. I have the X-Maxx and it is my absolute favorite R/C Monster truck, but I love that the MAXX v2's smaller size. If I drove the Maxx V2 before I dropped the money on the X-maxx, I probably would have passed on the X-maxx. The Maxx is mire nimble and the cost can't be beat for a R/C that is so well engineered. If you want a truck that is damn near bullet proof has excellent plus performance, the Maxx v2 is the ticket.

As someone that was in the hobby 30 years ago, and recently got back into it, I know some people that really bash Traxxas, and I just don't get it... This video is ridiculous and they just keep going lol. If they do break, the support to fix it is endless, unlike my Vaterra I've already shelved. I'm clearly not hard enough on my Rustler VXL 4x4, but seeing this makes me a lot more comfortable doing it! Great videos, best rc sub on the tube.

The camera just knew after it's first run with kev owning it that it was doomed😂

I have the hoss and it preforms extremely well

The music you play make me think I'm watching football haha

I'd agree with Claire and Ian the Hoss just looked more stable and smoother to drive around. And the Maxx was faster but harder to keep on track? Idk I'd probably end up buying both anyway lol. Or you could spend the $80 difference on upgrading the Hoss with strong drive shafts and shocks and call it a day.

That 360 cam is sweet Kev

Really liked the 360° bit 👌🏻

Considering I already got a slash 4x4 and I've been wanting something more bash worthy I'd probably get the Maxx, although I think I'd save up a little more and get an xMaxx instead

hey cev id love it if you could do a reviewe on the traxxas slash 4x4 brushlees before i get it! thx

I love ur vids their awesome and got me into the hobby

FYI in Australia the x maxx retails for $1599.00 and the hoss is $969.00 love this channel and videos

I have a HOSS and it's awesome...after I broke and upgraded everything to metal ($250.) If the XMAXX is more durable out of the box, then it's the better buy.

I have the maxx and have beat it to death, it's a great truck. I have no experience with hoss other than messing with it at my local hobby shop, but I wouldnt mind getting one. It's nice looking and looks like a good basher.

Thanks! 👍😁

BUY BOTH .... A love them both and yes for sure upgrades on HOSS but it takes a good Bash like a champ.

Love your videos sir! Keep it up

Kevin, you should start a podcast!!!

3:57 that drift tho!!

Nice thanks kev now I know which one is the best one 👍👍

Nice Video as Always, i ve clicked me a Maxx Rockn Roll, cause the Hoss is much too near to my two Slashes and my Rustler. I hope i will enjoy the car, even without the wide maxx Kit. Also the Arrma Granite and BigRock v3 might be as tough as the maxx but more stable?

Hey there. So we are thinking about getting us some great racing going with durable rc car. That was some extreme & hard jumping & much fun. I think we are leaning towards MAXX so far. Plastic shocks can't last too long. Thanks 👍

Idk the hoss is so weird looking. I can’t bring myself to actually like it

i love how he adds lalalalalalala

Can you do a comparison between the outcast 4s and the hoss? I’m thinking of buying one of the two and I’m having trouble deciding

The Maxx is for me cause of the metal shocks and I like the overall design definitely worth the extra 80

After 2 years I still love my hoss, few upgrades but the abuse it has taken and still going also the size of it I tend to take it more just cause it fits lol

Cool 360 shot at 9:18!

9:26 that was epic!

spend an extra $120 and get the E-Revo 2.0 and be able to run 6s and be able to go 70 mph and have the truck be a 1/8th scale

Hoss is for the kids, Maxx is for the boys, and the Xmaxx is for men. That’s how I picture it lol. Nice vid kev

Another great video 👍🏻👍🏻

This was a great video Kevin.

i used your link to get the tiny rally car thanks

Yup both awesome trucks, but I only have the Maxx so can't say much either way on the hoss but I'm sure it's very cool.

Nice video kev both fab cars

Are you going to get a baja Rey 2.0? It looks dope

Could you do a video about the Kraton 4s vs Maxx?

Great one 🔥🔥

Hi Kevin do u pay import tax when ordering from AMAINHOBBIES?

What is you favorite rc car. Im just wondering what car i should ask for. Thanks

You should get a redcat wendigo . I recently picked one up and it's actually pretty impressive I normally favor traxxas but I thought I would give them a try

Love your vids

Really liked the 360 on the max

Both are tough little machines. I'd personally go for the new v2 big rock tho. I had a lot more luck with my granite than my stampede 4x4

3:18 the face hahahahahah😂🤣😂🤣

Would definitely get the maxx but gotta get my trx4 crawler kit first

Now you gotta out the Widemaxx kit and steel driveshafts on the Maxx and compare them again. I love my Maxx. Even more after those two upgrades.

The MAXX , fo sho ! just got one used and I love it . Front flips on second battery !

A question for anyone who has had experience with both, which one flips better?

Great vid. My 4 year old boy will only watch your vids. Entertaining!

Saludos desde honduras!! Exelente canal y buenos unboxing de los rc!! Exelente colección!! Me gustaría tener uno de los rc xmaxx me deberías de regalar uno Jajaja!!

i have yet to bash my hoss this hard but still pretty surprised by its performance in this video. Thanks for sharing

Maxx for the win, I can’t wait to get one! Saving time, great video Kevin love your channel man.

Congrats on 1M

Kevin. You have too much fun, Mate. That's not a bad thing either. Cheers from America, mate. My boys and I really enjoy the vids.

We ended up buying a Traxxas Hoss and Arrma Granite. Both are 3S trucks and lightweight with plenty of power. My wife and I like to drive RC around the parks and neighborhoods. We also walk on foot and explore new areas. We have an Xmaxx and a Maxx but those are just too heavy and draws too much attention.

Nice video man, love it

Love your channel kev

Please could you Make a vid about how to look after your lipos thank you

How’s the battery strap in the hoss holding up? Any problems with it

Definitely the maxx for me, (i do not own either the hoss, or the maxx, and have never driven either of the two, but just based off of the video, the maxx seems to be a bit more wild and fun) I do own a rustler 4x4 vxl, and i can say that the slash 4x4 platform, and the cars based off of it, will be reasonably durable, but with the same problems, (mainly those annoying plastic shafts, I carry spare shafts each time i go bashing just in case) overall, just buy what you think will make you the most happy. (Ps: hey kev, could you try out the chassis braces that traxxas put out for their 4x4 platforms?)

Nice cars! Prefer the Maxx out of the 2. Hoping my next car is gonna be a Typhon though

Love your vids get the traxxas summit

Been waiting for this, now do rustler 4x4 vs slash 4x4 once u get some good driveshafts for the rustler. GPM makes good ones though

So, I am going to choose between the Maxx, Hoss and Kraton 6s. Seems there are things about each that are bad and things that are good. If you could only own one of them, which would it be ? My main criteria is durability and ease of repair. So, it is does break, it is easy to work on…. The cost difference is not a factor in terms of price tag. Cost of ownership is… My primary use will be jumps, flips etc. handling is nice but no a priority like the other items I listed.

Good video, as usuall👍👍, how long is the Hoss?
