Traxxas Hoss Killer? Arrma Granite Killer? You'll not believe how cheap it is!
This is the Rival MT10 from Team Associated. It's Brushless, it's Cheap, it's Fast and it's built like a TANK! So underrated!

As you can see on the video, this truck has really impressed me! Not only is it fast, it's tough as well! Took some nasty hits and still came back for more! I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get in to the 'bashing' hobby, or anyone who already has the best that Traxxas & Arrma can offer. You won't be disappointed!

Older video, just looking over the team associated rival, I really like how they include the chassis dust cover, in my opinion definitely better than the arrma vorteks, plus there is something about the color combination on the body it's DAMN SHARP LOOKING! Nice little bash session as always brother!

After watching your video I immediately went out and bought one. Everyone at Hobby Town was drooling over this truck. They said it out preforms the Granite 3s. If it does I'm happy. 👍👍 Awesome tip on locating your GBS. Glad you found it. Thanks again so much for sharing this beautiful truck with your friends.

The Helion Avenge front suspension arms are exactly the same and can be fitted to the Rival MT10 too. They are much stronger than the Rival's stock ones ( but out of stock at most places at the moment in the UK - Nov '20) Also the soaking of stock arms in WD40 over night in a sealable freezer bag will make the plastic far less brittle. The sharp braking can be reduced to watching Razor RC 's ESC hack and tuning guide (sorry don't mean to promote someone else's channel bud - but its worth it), making much more controllable in the air and reduces nose dives . I first saw this truck here on your channel and it got me intrigued - My Rival arrives tomo ! So thanks for that Tomley ! great channel - keep it up bro

I really enjoy my Rival MT10, the esc is a 60a but not programable. The servo is pretty crap in these, a number in the US had servos pack up very quickly. I to had my servo with problems within a very short time & changed it out for a better servo. The brakes on the Rival are quite strong & you are not able to turn them down with programing, in the US lots complained about to strong braking tipping the truck forward to much. Razor RC has a video on how to turn the braking down, he found a way how to alter the braking by fooling the esc with settings. Well worth watching to see how he done this. I also really like the netting cover inside the truck, this really does keep it pretty clean inside.

@TomleyRC 3 жыл бұрын

The braking is proportional, so you need to just be gentle on them...take a bit of getting used to

The Rival MT10 is the same truck as the Helion Avenge with a few changes like the wheelie bar redesigned. That's not a bad thing at all as the Avenge was a pretty good truck as well, as i understand it Firelands/Helion went out of business. So Team Associated bought or got the rights to produce this truck using the same moulds etc. Some suggest the plastic used on the Rival MT is a harder plastic & can break more especially the lower arms, i also had a front arm break as some others also had this happen on fairly light bashing. I manage to get hold of a couple of sets of Helion Avenge lower arm sets for under £10 per set of 4 arms, which don't seem to be available anymore as these were old stock in some shops. The Avenge arms are said to be a more forgiving plastic, i know the Associated Rival arms are more expensive at around £22 for 4 arms. Personally i would still buy another Rival MT10 as they are great little trucks at a good price

@@TomleyRC Yes i see so many video's where parts get broken on cars, a lot of the time they blame the car for not being strong enough. But in reality a lot of the time it is due to pilot error on bad landings etc. Other drivers seem to be smoother drivers & don't break the same cars as often. I think a lot of KZfaq posters go out of their way to see how far they can push to break the cars. Especially if they have been given cars for free to test, personally i prefer to respect things that i have bought with my hard earned cash.

Parts are expensive, so look out for the Helion Avenge which is the same truck, but the parts are a lot cheaper. My advise would be to pay the extra and get an Armma Granite!

@Matthew Hayslett I agree, generally it is a tank, but I did jump it like a 1/8 scale and it did not like it. Also agree with the Granite shocks, that are rubbish, but the MT10 shocks also leak from my experience.

Btw, the Big Rock V2 is literally a Typhon 3S with different wheels, a wheelie bar, and a truck body. That's why it Looks too big for a 1/10, because it's not, it's a 1/8 buggy with different wheels/hex, but the parts list is identical.

Yes, I have the Typhon hubs coming so I can fit some 17mm wheels on.

You'd think they'd have picked up on the thumb to wheel thing by now eh! Seriously wouldn't effect nothing having that shorter or more tucked back! I quite like this myself like that big rock more though Great price though pretty impressive that's fast on the 3s! I think my finger might push the buy now button lol

Nice vid! If you could only afford to buy one, which would you buy; Vorteks, Big Rock or Typhon? For drivability, jumping, off-road (dirt and grass) and general bashing? The RC will be for my 6 year old son’s Birthday, so it’s kind of a big deal on getting him something he’ll handle and not hate the hobby.

This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen and I’ve been looking at a couple bashers for my kids. I was strongly leaning towards a couple of the competitors you mentioned. This looks like a good rig but I cannot get over how much time you spent with it on its roof. If our goal is to find places to go jump this thing, I’m thinking better flying and better landing is in order. This thing flipped over several times while you were just running straight and fast.... Am I missing something?

@TomleyRC 3 жыл бұрын

Short wheelbase, big tyres! The Arrma Big Rock is wider and lower...that’s the best for handling. Although you can blame my driving for some of the rolls lol

This looks as though it´ll offer the most grins for your buck compared to its two chief rivals. One thing I don´t understand is why it can wheelie, given that it has a centre diff. I had assumed that, the moment the front tyres lost traction, all the drive would go to them and the wheelie would die in its infancy, but the evidence of my own eyes tells me I was very wrong! Is it, perhaps, a limited slip diff? I was very relieved to see that you found your GPS unit intact, by the way, and I´m greatly looking forward to the skate park video : )

@TomleyRC 3 жыл бұрын

Plenty of grip on the rear tyres, and the short wheel base. Along with the centrifugal forces on the spinning wheels. It's a little monster! I was relieved when I found the GPS! That's my most used item on the channel!

Looks twitchy like my stampede 4x4 was before I put a slash chassis on it. Super beefy arms on that thing! The lack of a center diff, optional or otherwise on the arrma 3s and 4s line is what's keeping me from buying one.

@@TomleyRC Yeah, I used to think that too... until I had a 6S outcast and started running 6S in my savage flux hp. The savage is the more difficult of the two, it was tough on 4S without a center diff, but on 6S with the center diff, it's still a lot tougher to drive than the outcast, which isn't easy at full tilt on bumpy grass. Sometimes it's hard hitting a jump at speed because of unexpected wheelies. If I didn't have the M2C chassis on the outcast, I'd consider getting a kraton chassis for it just to make it a bit easier to drive, now that I have had it a while.
