To be honest both of these trucks are a fair bit more durable than this. Kev went to the absolute most extreme in this vid, especially considering the weather and temperature. Cold temperatures make plastics harder and therefore more brittle and prone to breakage. On top of that they were landing on concrete - its pretty much the absolute worst case scenario and a bit unfair, combine the temperature with where they were and what they were doing and ANY RC would break, not just the X-Maxx or XRT. But hey, he did what he said he was gonna do.

Merry Christmas everyone!! Been waiting, not so patiently, for this video. I knew Kev, and Max, were going to put the XRT through it's proper paces, and you did. Thank you for that! I have the long arm kit on my X-Maxx, the RPM hubs on the rear and new Traxxas hubs on the front, along with the CEN pins. Other than the tires, I am not sure there is a ton of difference in the XRT and the way I have my X-Maxx configured, so I'm looking at next year to grab an XRT, and just like with my X-Maxx, Kev has already given me some ideas on what will need to get upgraded right away.

Allo Kev, great way to start the day. I couldn't believe it when I saw your preview Nd saw the Xmaxx snap but I'm thinking your cold snap had a lot to do with it. It sucks that running an RC in the snow and cold is so much fun but being plastic and battery operated it's like RC kryptonite. I have to say I'm loving this xrt. It's definitely the best of both worlds.

We would also use those little bags of hand warmers on the batteries to keep them warm. Thanks again for the great videos !!

@radiovlogi Жыл бұрын

I appreciate you took the xmaxx to the snow too, for a fair comparison. It would have been a bit unfair for the XRT to break everywhere in the cold without the Xmaxx also getting the frosty treatment. They took a fair amount of abuse considering the conditions. I've only ever broken plastics in my MT10 when I'm snow bashing. The XRT is the first Traxxas I actually want. Really dig it!

It's been a long time since you've liked anything even close to your King Xmaxx. Honestly, I've been on the fence with Traxxas and Arrma for this entire time, happily saving my money for more parts for my cheaper rc's. But The reliability of your Xmaxx, packed down into a controllable package of the xrt, I may just be getting my first traxxas. XRT seems to just need better tires, and a few cheap spares. Sounds like a blast!! Thanks for your very harsh testing methods Kev. Still one of my top 3 RC connoisseurs!!

Awesome as always kev. I gotta say I myself like watching the xmaxx more. The xrt looks great but the xmaxx just looks funner for bashing. Speed and handling isn't everything with a basher. You can get plenty of speed from the xmaxx and with the added traction of ballooning tires it gets through and over things better. Flips better and I don't know, just looks funner.

I’m a window installer and the same material they use for the A arms shock towers chassis etc when that material gets cold it’s like a dry leaf on a hard impact it just cracks. When it’s hot outside you can actually bend the plastic or vinyl and it can take way more of a beating. Maybe heat up the RC car or truck with your vehicle heater or a heat gun before running it
