I've made that same call and dash up to Hobbytown Plano a few times myself. And always for Arrma parts. I got to drive the Sledge yesterday at Traxxas HQ store. . Fun truggy. I was surprised at how much better it felt than the eRevo 2.0. Felt much more solid and planted. IT was also alot easier to keep the nose down.
@westtxgreg 2 жыл бұрын
Good comparison. I think they are both great cars and competition is great for our hobby. I have roughly $650 in my Kraton. $329 Black Friday, $20 metal gear servo, $260 Max 6 combo 1650kv 20T pinion, $40 Dumborc 6 channel w/avc. Gps at 66mph on grass on 6s, can run 8s. Stock punch setting (3). If the traxxas was $650-699 I’d own one as well. Can’t lose with either of these. 👍🏻

Looking forward to the Sledge! Made the mistake of adding a ton to my XMAXX and then it started braking and having hearing issues. It sits taken apart in a box🤬. I’m leaving the sledge stock as I did the Maxx and it never breaks. I added the 1.5 gears, a new motor and esc etc and man just the bit extra weight has caused so many issues! Never again. Love you brought the kids out!!

Nice video dude! Was interesting to see how these monsters stacked up to each other. One thing I will mention though is that in the beginning the arrma was gonna run you just shy of $1k… realistically If you got all the stock Spektrum electronics from JennysRC (and I even made a video on it a while back and JRC is NOT a scam) then it would only be about $720. (I know you put a really nice Savox in there, but the stock S652 is $20 on JRC and from what I’ve seen is actually really fast and torquey) And as for the punch settings, you can adjust those with the little secondary button on the esc without the little programming card. Not trying to diss you or anything, and I like your content, just wanted to put that out there.

Choice is good. Fun times were had with the kids, that's always good. Just don't like that Traxxas tax. Kraton 6s RTR 599.99 and its on sale right now for 529.99. None of these companies are my friends so I'll be trying to keep as much money as I can in my wallet.😉

For what it's worth, he _did_ put the same ESC and motor into his Kraton that come in the RTR ones. And the V5 RTR Kraton 6S actually has a lot of the durability upgrades from EXB, so should be fairly comparable to the Sledge (but is cheaper).

Anyway both trucks seem really similar. I’d probably still go Kraton for the money, it’s cheaper unless you put good electronics in it, then it’s more expensive but way better electronics than the Traxxas.

I can say with confidence just from owning both arrma and Traxxas, that the Traxxas will definitely have the better drivetrain. Other than that, if price is no object, both are great choices. One allows you to pick whatever electronics you want, and they other comes ready to go with pretty good specs. I do prefer the c-hubs on the sledge as compared to the pillowball hubs on the kraton 6s, as well as the fixed turnbuckles on the sledge, especially if they're more durable. But it is nice to have the tuning options on the kraton as well as the LSD differentials which is neat.

@@Sackmatters we all have different experiences and the real issue is we dont acknowledge this. For example, my comparison story is....my hoss has yet to have any major breaks (only lower plastic shock cap part) and I sent in 20-30 times off big jumps. The amount of time (months/years) is really not something we can use as a metric as some people might drive their car 1 time in 6 months and another 30-50 times. That dude driving 1 time could break and have the worst exp, the other guy could break a few parts and be 100% extremely happy customer still. Now, back to my hoss story (maybe 2 battery packs through it at the time)...It was stock. I also had a stock NIB notorious, took it to the same places to jump (1 battery pack into it)...bent the chassis, bent both shock towers, and bent both rear shocks and also the top shock mount screw for 1 front shock snapped in half. I still enjoy both trucks. So it's very hard to take 1 persons experience as "this is the example we will all experience"

It's cool watching an RC tire blow. I blew one on an 8th scale Ofna touring car. It did 360's for ever.

Awww man. Can’t believe there wasn’t a ‘*not a fart’ disclaimer. I’m not angry, Mark. Just disappointed ☹️😉 Just messing. You’re rapidly becoming my favourite channel. Keep em coming Mark 👍🏻

That Truggy style truck is just like short course truck. Almost every brand has that style.

First of all the smiles and laughter is what it's all about. And obviously both are fun if you have 2 not into that can't really make up their mind which is better. They just had fun. Kinda, ok they had fun breaking dads stuff. Lol Ask any child, ok which of the dinner plates was more fun to smash?? Equally but have a hard time with remembering the name of the othe brand. Lmbo!!! Thx

All due respect you dont need a program card to change the punch its all done with the power button on the firma esc You couldve saved some money if you did your research Just sayin

🤣👏👏love it. Definitely the most fun to watch and brutal honest comparison 💯 Evan has me laughing. Both are serious rigs though. It's a hard to choose between the two. Traxxas definitely hit em with the left though, nobody saw this coming 🤣I'd like to see the Kronos in there also 🙏🏿..but anyway, great video 💯

Well…they weren’t kidding when they said all they wanted you to have to replace was the tires.

I'm so sick of the whiny babies that defend one brand or the other. It's a toy! Yes I love them too, but holy cow! This is getting stupid. Just Like camaro vs mustang people. I think the same way Mark does, having the choice to have either is pretty cool. We should all be happy it isnt the fragile breaking cars from the 80's and super long charge times vs just a few minutes of run time.

Every rc will break. All depending on weather , driver skill, and knowledge of what is a "safe" jump. Ofcourse you got maniacs launching rc,s to the moon.. leave that up to chance. Rolling the dice at that point. Great video. Maybe your kids will like rc s more now. 👍

Talian exb is 750 rtr so that would probably be a better comparison

So the consumer wins by having 2 companies trying to make products that are a little better then the other guy. Just means they will be trying to one up each other! I am totally ok with that.
