I'm glad you reviewed these two the way you did. Everyone tries so hard to directly compare them... They really can't be done that way. I've played with an Xmax, but have yet to get one. It's high on my list, do maybe one day. Also, those speed comparisons you did we spot on! Again, people do speed run on asphalt with off road vehicles...your speed runs make sense since they were both built for off road! Love the content and well rounded comparisons. Thanks!

Agreed, I'm an Arrma guy but 8s stock vs stock... X-Maxx looks more fun and wild, lighter and more durable. You have to add the M2C shorter chassis and more power to have X-Maxx fun... And that's some $$$.... Even then would be a close call to which one is better. Now Arrma owns 1/8 scale.... But for 8s even I would take the Xmaxx Great video bud You got a sub from me🎯👍

@marcuzio93 3 года назад

@wallacengineering8096 4 года назад

The X-Maxx is a better Truck, but I still love my Kraton 8S. A big reason is definitely the durability issues with the 8S. 5 mins in, I lost an arm, on a small jump. The plastics are too hard and people are recomminding boiling the arms and wing mount. But even so, Ill never buy an X-Maxx. Its a strange thing really, I think its because Ive always loved the truggy platform. A mean, low-profile truck that just looks so much more angry than a monster. It just looks like it wants to kill you in your sleep, and I love that. Plus the fact that with higher gearing it even drives like a race truggy, its just sick as hell. Slap a 21-23T pinion in the Kraton 8S and ull keep up with the best of the 5th scale racers. I plan on a MAX5 ESC and a Leopard Hobby 5892 Ver 2.0 1200KV motor, then some Louise RC X-Uphill tires and a 24T pinion to create a truck that will do 55 MPH absolutely anywhere and over any terrain. Thats something that the tall profile of the X-Maxx will simply never be able to manage. But then again, the X-Maxx is a stunt truck, not a racer. So to each their own, but I have loved my Kraton 6S for years and now I love my Kraton 8S as well!

@badlilstang 4 года назад

I own an Xmaxx and Maxx.. really wanted an 8s Kraton to add to my collection but looking at what I mostly do with my trucks I realized it would rarely get driven. I guess if I did more track racing (which some locals do near me every weekend) I would probably want that Kraton 8s. I kinda like the craziness of the Xmaxx.

@douglaselliott8298 4 года назад

One irrefutable lesson I've learned from my Rustler 4X4 VXL after 10 months of ownership is that although being an absolute HOOT to drive; the power being applied to the drive train and the violence regularly experienced traveling 200 to 400 'scale' mph equates to far more time(and money) spent on replacing parts than driving and enjoying the RC. A short time back I succumbed to purchasing a Losi Tenacity DB Pro(it was just so damn cool & scale looking). But from here on out the scale 'Crawlers' and their consistent ratio of 5 minutes of maintenance to 2 hours of driving far better fits my desires, priorities, and budget.

@curtpemrick5516 2 года назад

The rustler vxl is a money pit big time. I replaced every part in mine including a motor in first eight months. I also have a Kraton 6s 1/8 and in 6 months I've o only had to replace the transmitter and tighten screws n bolts here and there. Much better experience.

@HappyValleyCrawlers 2 года назад

Well said, I agree. 75% of my time is spent Crawling (I live in Utah, ideal landscapes for crawling). It’s fun, maintenance is easy, parts are cheap is you stick to plastics (I prefer plastic over everything else when crawling). And the other 25%, or weekends are spent bashing. Wish it was the other way around sometimes but bashing CAN be expensive

@ar12. Год назад

@@curtpemrick5516 I don’t know I’ve destroyed some driveshafts and what not. on a recent very hard bashing session I damaged my steering servo mind you that’s 3 years old and apart from that it’s perfect just about when running on dirt and pavement and casing the occasional jump won’t kill it I’ve done little maintenance on it over the years and it’s perfect took me 2 years to destroy the spur gear in it replaced no worries esc an and the dusty motor cover with the sledgehammer tyres make it a blast to drive and some rpm driveshaft on the way.

@NathanStorer-RC 4 года назад

This will likely be a “TLDR” post, but... It always amazes me how well you control these vehicles, especially in the air AND one handed. I need a lot of practice with jumps, just hate breaking things with bad landings. Don’t hate the wrenching, just hate the expense lol. I think I prefer the Arrma, only because it seems more stable where the X-Max seems to want to get up on its wheels on the side. I like to drive fast more than I like to bash, and I feel the Arrma is the better fit for me personally. If you’re primarily a basher, then ya, X-Max is the winner there. Great job, another enjoyable video!

@spuds7677 4 года назад

For me personally I am more of a racer and I just got my first Arrma. A Kraton 4s! So this truck I love. I did have some oil on the slipper clutch, but it has been solid thus far. I do plan on upgrading the a arms to RPMs and I plan on getting aluminum shock bodies. It has been a fun truck for sure. The servo is ok for people who are getting into the hobby, but I need faster steering. I plan to change out the server and saver with something I have laying around. I will be honest, I'm not a big fan of Traxxas but I do like the X-Maxx. I have had more than 10 of their cars and trucks through out the years and I have a E-Maxx right now. It's going on craigslist this weekend. If I was going to spend a $1000 on a RC car, I would get a Mugen Seki 1/8th Truggy kit and put a CC Mamba Monster 2200 KV setup on it. I refuse to pay $1000 for a RTR.

@alexbirkenfeldt1566 3 года назад

Great comparison - I tend to agree - that the two cannot be compaired. They are awesome in each their own way. XMAXX is a floater, maybe even a drifter on gravel and loose surfaces. Man it can throw some chips and dirt behind it while drifting sideways. Kraton - from 0-fast, it will go so quick you will not notice - and it will be in a straight line. Try turning down AVC and it will get a whole lot funnier. Much smaller doughnuts and controlled jumps will be a side effect - so stabile. XMAXX - turn down TSM and it will take off in an unknown direction letting you test your counter steering abilities within a split second. Much funnier in my opinion - but it is impressive what the Kraton can do acceleration wise.

@bettyg7710 9 месяцев назад

you can set the suspension on the xmax lower and get wider control arms, and it would behave much like the kraton. But like I said, they are two different trucks.

You will get faster lap time, top speed, better air control and more stability while driving with the Kraton. With the X-Maxx u get more bashing capabilities, that thing is a tank. I choose the X-Maxx cuz i love the monster truck look of it and wanted his durability. One of my arms are like half broken since a year and i can still make 15 to 20 feet high jumps and back and front flips without fully breaking the arm yet. I do not regret the purchase of the X-Maxx, i absolutely love that thing. But if u also thinking about buying am X-Maxx u should also buy at least the blue loctite for the pinion gear or what i recommend the green one which holds it forever in place. If u leave it stock without loctite it will become loose. Just keep that in mind. Nice video too. What i also forget to mention is that if you break something on the X-Maxx it is much cheaper to replace the parts as on the Arrma one. Nearly all parts on the X-Maxx is made out of plastic thats why this this is lighter and more durable and makes the parts cheaper. Its also much easier to work on which i can confirm than the arrma one what i heard. At the end of the day its all about what u wanna do with the truck.

Xmaxx for 8s 1/5-6 scale stunts and smaller kraton all day for 6s 1/8 scale stunts. The K8S is a beauty but needs more out of the box to do what an X can. Get the shorter M2C chassis then re compare. The kraton 6s is still king basher in my book. My notorious is less graceful and more twitchy. Arrma is still growing and learning more designs and materials. Excited to see what they offer next. Traxxas needs to update several of their offerings in my opinion and address some weak points pointed out by owners

Hard to pick. I love low cog but xmaxx is much lighter. I would pick xmaxx all day if it has newly designed low cg chassis. i like truggy feel.

@rixsta911 4 года назад

Xmaxx for me. Just ordered one 👍

I wonder what traxxas will come out with next. I want a xmaxx as I have a 6s but I want to see if they bring something out soon

Great vid

On my Kraton 6s I put million weight oil in the center diff. That allows more power to go to the rear diff to help bring the back end around.

I watched a Kraton 6s being driven by th Aussie on RU-vid before this, he was doing triple backflips and double front flips. Do these not come with speed pinions, if so put in and test again, I’m just trying to decide what to buy. I don’t have either one, long time traxxas fan, but the other video was very impressive watching it jump. I would be curious what top speeds are reached with the speed pinions as well. Gotta say, it looks like you just weren’t comfortable driving the arrma, was the steering rate turned down? Leaning towards the 1/8 scale to have more speed possibly.

@ExocagedRC 3 года назад

The steering on the arrma is bad compared to the Xmaxx. I now have the arrma sorted out with a big castle system and better gearing. Many guys find that putting on a 23t pinion gets it up to speed and I don’t recall a speed pinion being included with this one. For bashing in general I feel the Xmaxx is the better choice. I have a buddy getting the new ARRMA 8S Outcast and those seem to look really good in videos.

I compare that crate into the E-Revo 2.0 it doesn't compare to the XS Max great video✌

@theiceman1972 3 года назад

I think you nailed it. Kratons are just not bashers in any way shape or form. They are literally track or flat out running alone. XMaxx is more a fun bashing truck.

@XV3LimpiadorXV3 3 года назад

LoL huh? Look up Rich Duperbash or RCDUDE81 and tell me they aren’t bashers 😂... You just have to KNOW HOW TO DRIVE THEM.

@@XV3LimpiadorXV3 drive it like an Xmaxx and it will break every time. Drive it like a Maxx and it will break every time. Its just not intended to be truly bashing. If ya do it will bend and break more parts. It’s just not worth it. It’s a race truck that’s just big. They took the ideas from 8th scale buggies and tossed big tires on them.

@@XV3LimpiadorXV3 lol watched one of his vids and he broke the Kraton in multiple places and his Kronos lol. I guess he proved your point jumping off those small ramps how durable they are lol.

I have another question about my 1080 esc. I'm still running nimh batteries. And Ive heard most 1080 s come set for lipo. Is it ok to go threw the calibration without changing it from lipo to nimh love the vids and sorry to keep bothering u over this

@losernamedbiden4338 4 года назад

Todd Eaves you won't hurt anything, power is power as long as the voltage is correct but you won't get full use of your nimh batteries since they'll hit lvc in Lipo mode before being fully discharged. You can always go back in to change the settings at any time if you try it and don't like the run times. hope this helps
