That spot is so nice to run those RCs. The hill is perfect for jumps. I live in the city and don’t have something like that!

Man! Great video, my Midwest Brother! I'm from the Midwest, but I have been living in the South for the past 23 years! I ❤️ my XRT TOO! My wife doesn't think she can handle it, but I'm going to buy her one anyway! This thing is so much fun! I think that I'm a Traxxas O.G. because I've been a fan since '89'. I fell deeply in love with the Sledgehammer but couldn't afford it, and parents wouldn't buy it. They felt that it was too much money for a toy. Little did they know that I'd be 47 years old and still doing this. I've got about 35 RC'S now, some running, some broken, some that have been DC'D along with the parts. From 1/16th scale to 1/5th scale, electric, nitro, and gas. Great video brother keep doing what you're doing! PEACE! ✌🏾

First time watching your video. Good information and fun video. Great driving and air control. Traxxas XRT and Xmaxx are my favorite. Thank you

Man that XRT just glides like a ghost on those jumps...cant wait to get one $600 down another $400 to go...gonna bypass the sledge...

Cool video! I really like the look of the outcast😍

Loving the looks and performance with your XRT. Looks to be a good solid performer.

So I’ve watched tons of comparison videos cuz I’m on the fence with either of them and I gotta say watching your videos of both outcast vs XRT and kraton vs XRT you do specify a lot and you don’t hate on either thank you well done on info and I appreciate it.

Awesome video! And yes that uphill wheelie up the entire hill was awesome haha

Love TRAXXAS. I have a UDR, MAXX (V2) and TRX-4 K-10 HIGH TRAIL edition (BLUE) and love them 🏁

Great video! I wish our snow was melted as good as yours! I've been dying to get back and do some jumps! 🤣

Beautiful floating sends!!! ❤️ what a perfect natural ramp 👊 with a downhill LZ 😍

wow! what a great driving area , love the xrt

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

Definitely agree with your opinion on the durability between Traxxas and Arrma 8s platforms. I'll still always love the Arrma vehicles, but I'd feel way more confident driving a Traxxas 8s. I'm a pretty light basher though, and I love how much easier to put large electronics in the 8s Arrma vehicles.

I dont jump my cars and still have fun and I just to my xrt today and love it haven't drove it yet

You should get a mjx hyper go brushless.

I approve this message!

From my experience with the arrma 6s exb models and the Xmaxx all I can say is, 1100$ for the 8s outcast here in Spain, you need to buy an extra card to somehow program the esc and change a setting to not make the car feel like crap/explode tires, have to refill the oil inside the diffs with proper weight to make the car work somehow fun and not explode the tires, the exposed center diff is a grinder for motor wires and pebbles, the arms are made of glass for some reason, they don't bend they break with the most mild crashes and now have to spend more money in rpm arms, the servo saver is just wrongly made, it is way too stiff and Im counting the days until it breaks the servo, you literally pay for an average product, mechanic simulator, that is not very different from most of the other rc cars in the market, not to mention dealing with these stupid straps for the battery and the body clips that takes like 3 minutes to take off or put on, just for the handy battery locking system and the reinforced cage/no body clip designs on the traxxas makes them automatically worth it, how people recommend arrma over any high end traxxas car or even losi is beyond reckoning, guess arrmas must be cheaper in the states or some people just want to work on their car for the sake of it. And I thought: wow some of these arrma models don't look like they have half of the R&D traxxas has, but maybe if the community is so big with the kraton/outcasts these arrmas must be sick, terrible mistake. Most importantly: SICK AIR man, these fly like airplanes lmao

Outcast 8s is discontinued.....too many issues according to the net peeps...parts fixin to get scareccc

So the Arrma OUTKAST 8s RTR The Traxxas XRT. New Set of Tires, New set of GPM servo holder, New ESC. So what’s the total price??? U have put into the XRT vs The ALL stock Arrma OUTKAST 1/5 scale RTR?? I got my. Arrma Karton 1/5 scale EXB for 400$ I found a rtr motor and ESC brand new 8 mil shaft and upgraded servo for 180$ So I’m all int 580$ + receiver had Radio with multiple model memory. I still also believe the OutKast should be compared to the XMaxx and the KARTON to the XRT

My Outcast 8s hasnt earned my trust enough to jump that far with mine. I cannot keep it in one piece. I dont even jump the thing. Where i run it is very hard on RCs though. The only RC i can keep together where i run is one of my Super Rock Reys. I exclude my 5ive T from that as my typical spot is not remotely big enough for it.

The more I've played with my XRT the more I'm liking it.. don't tell all my Arrma rigs lol

I have a maxx v2 and looking for another truck for kids to have one to run also. Was looking into a outcast 4s so batteries are the same but everytime I look at arrma I feel their not making them as strong as traxxas so maybe I should get another traxxas. It's been a great truck so far

What center diff on the xrt are you talking about? 9:29

I’ve just ordered the XRT and I want to order extra diffoil. Do you know the stock diff oil from the front nd rear so I can top it off immediately when I received it. And the center diff, how many weight did you use, or do you advice to just use silicon earplugs right away in the centre diff? (Which generation do you advise for just mild bashing, no extreme jumps. Will probably run 9 out of 10times off-road. I also ordered the max5 and I’m gonna sell the velineon 8s esc but I will running on a stockmotor

Earplugs? Please explain.

What is the traxxas washer system? My hot racing spur gear stripped on my xrt

You dont have any heat issues with those tires and gearing?

Does anyone realize that the Traxxas only holds up better do to it's mostly plastic and much lighter. Personally I never been a fan of Traxxas I'll take my outcast 8s all day and deal with repairs over buying Traxxas

I drove xmaxx and xrt. Xmaxx is my kinda trucj

That's a real ouchy verdict for this Arrma fan boy to accept haha
