@@mark-1rc502 that is what I was saying. Traxxas is all non adjustable except race sport and newbie modes. Arrma has 4-5 different adjustments able to be made. And you can use a hobbywing card to adjust them.

Driving the Losi Lasernut in my small city has gained a lot of spectators and the few asking to drive it. Its a blast in a wet parking lot and looks so cool. Can't wait to shoot a few videos of city bashing.
I have a Lasernut and it is FANTASTIC !!! The center differential came needing 1 more shim in the center diff once i did that No issues !!! I love the stock wheels !!! Yes the LOOK IS GREAT AND VERY SCALE BUT IS RUGGED AS HECK !! LOVE LOSI :)
I bought the Vorteks. Spilled oil out of one shock and the slipper clutch went. GRANTED, I made a newbie mistake and didn’t set the clutch. Traxxas is better out of the box and tougher. I’m not a Traxxas Fanboy. I have an ERevo, Maxx, Typhon, Kaiju and several no-name cars. The Traxxas cars have not broken once….not one issue. The Vortek broke, the Kaiju had a weird issue where the pin fell out of the axle and the Typhon was the only non-Traxxas car which has not had an issue.
Love the comparison, we have a couple rustler's and love them. Added slash RPM rear bumper/wheelie bar to prevent flip overs. Just hooks up and flies. I really like the looks of the arrma though, so may need another rig!! Great Stuff Mark!!
Its well-known with the Arrma 3S trucks that they don't have instant torque off the line. Even if you max out the punch setting on the factory ESC, it just can't deliver the amperage to flip itself over doing a wheelie. As you said though, its kind of a good thing. Also, best truck for beginners overall is the Arrma Big Rock 3S. Its cheaper price and warranty versus Traxxas makes it more affordable. The longer wheelbase and wider stance over the granite make it so easy to control, it doesn't roll over much, and being a taller truck versus the Vorteks it has the ground clearance you will want for off-road bashing and jumps. The Big Rock is simply the perfect starter RC all around, just start on 2S for the young ones and let them move up to 3S when you feel ready, and all you need is the bigger battery to make the upgrade.
Excellent watching you and your son having so much fun. I got my Vorteks yesterday, (Purple) haven't had a chance to drive it yet, but it's very exciting. Ha. Thanks for sharing. John
maybe put the same tires on both for testing off road or swap the tires if you can. the rustler tires look like they would have more traction off road. love the looks of both those cars
I mean, the rustler should have more low end torque, it isn't geared as highed as the vorteks. Both look like they handle great though, it's nice to have a competitor to the rustler. And that delay might not be the punch, it might be cogging from the high gearing. I noticed that on a lot of the 3s arrmas, they gear them too high.
Curious about where the TSM and AVC settings were at during the drifting action? Rustler 4x4 VXL was my first modern RC and I still love it even though I've since added about 8 cars to my garage LOL.
Also the vorteks, like the bigrock has a better wheelie bar angle and thicker with less flex. That's what causes the rustler to flip. I changed mine to the adjustable one to stop that.
Just bought a Bandit VXL with TSM. Very fast and tons of fun. Don't believe I will be putting the other pinion in it. It is fast as it is. Just got done doing the same as you you guys.
You got me hooked. Started with Bezgar couple of months ago and just got myself Rustler 4x4. It looks so good that I don’t want to run it because it’ll get scratched😂
Alright, we aren't new... have race rigs, crawlers, some just for fun stuff like a couple retro ReRe kits, and now a few onroad cars we just built... We've had a couple "bashers" over the years... started with a 2wd Stampede, and have a mini Revo around that we haven't driven for a bit... Question is... We've been looking for a "monster truck" , between AE Rival MT10, Granite 3S, and this Vorteks 3S, which do you suggest? Kinda leaning toward the Vorteks, especially if you think it would do "general offroading" as well as a Granite, and not suffer on rough terrain due to smaller tires and lower ride height... Is the Vorteks the way to go? Thanks for the videos!
@@EXTREMERC416 anything can break on those cars, arms, shocks, spur gear, links, motor mount, hub carriers, steering blocks. It can all break same as the rustler but traxxas has its own Performance Accessories line as with Arrma 3s cars a lot of the upgraded parts can either be rpm, hot racing, or gpm
@@EXTREMERC416 So the driveshafts not breaking makes it stronger? You failed to mention the toy grade diffs that the arrmas have, or the trash slipper clutch. I'd rather fix a driveshaft with 2 set screws than have to replace a whole diff.
@@gasolinediesel972 thats funny i have a 4s kraton and the diffs has been holding up. Its 2 years old i broke a few before i went to the alluminum mesh holder from hot racing since then never broke a diff. The clutch is not trash. Its nit beginner friendly like traxxas i will say that. The clutch works almost like a diff because it spins both ways. Your bassicly complaining about a 15$ diff. Its plastic yes but it holds up and if it ever fails its just 15$¯\_(ツ)_/¯. The driveshafts idk but paying 15$ every time it breaks. Mine almost broke every run. It starts to become expensive. Once its fine but every run was emptying my wallet. My rules for buying a rc is this. A bulletproof drivetrain i dont want to get diff failures or driveshafts failures. Thats why i got the exb of the 6s line i didnt want to get the RTR because of its known issues. My exb kraton has only broken one wing mount in his first year and recently the servo horn stripped. Idk man but i like my wallet
I definitely dig both cars. Contemplating replacing my losi 10mt with one of these. Love the car but hard to get parts/upgrades for now days. Has plastic links in the front and back so it's very sloppy driving 3s full speed on the street.
I love both the Rustler & the new Vorteks, if the Rustler 4x4 into the ultimate upgrade, it will probably equally catch up with the Vorteks 4x4, one advantage of the Rustler 4x4 VXL, is The clipless body mount PS: I'm from the Philippines & been an RC Hobbyist myself mostly Tamiyas
Oh you think the body flying off by itself is an advantage? Ok, I prefer to have it on if I put it on. Wait if you upgrade one and not the other it will be better, check out the big brain on this one. 🙄🙄
I have the granite which is the same as the vortex and if I grab full throttle from a stop it lands on the body and I have not messed with the esc settings. Arrma is the best!!!
I just got a vorteks out yesterday after it sitting for 3 days and its raining but it handle nice and if you getting into the setting and turn up the punch and do all your other settings youll like that arrma i got 3 of the 3s line up the typhon 3s and the big rock 3s and they are fast and can take a beating
Best review video yet. My pet peeve is the one thing you talk about the batteries you used the factory batteries the ones that the company recommended. Hate when folks review and throw in what they have cutting connections etc. second great thing was Q-tips drifting was on point great night with your son.
I have the Rustler 4x4 and the stock wheelie bar is to weak. I would run mine on 2S and it could flip. I put the T-bone wheelie bar on and it solved the issue.
I upgraded my granite to 6s and took the motor and esc the blx 3s and put that in my rustler seems to have a tad more torque then the velineon motor and esc once it’s about half throttle the velineon seemed to have more torque in the beginning almost identical in my opinion as far as motor and esc combo
If you dont have the avc chip you have to play with your sitting on the remote bc i found that out the avc kept kicking on me am waiting for the avc chip to come in to do my settings cant wait
