@@57F100 yes, thats what im sayin. But i think the best rtr rc cars would be the 4 traxxas rc's, the rustler, bigfoot, slash, and bandit. But they would all have to be the brushed versions. But there still probably some of the best rc's out there
The Arrma 3s series is incredible. I bought a big rock a month ago and have beaten the crap out of it, only have damaged a spring perch which was an easy fix. Today I went and bought the Senton 3s and it is also a ton of fun on an almost identical platform. The Arrma 3s platform is so easy to work on, you can get the whole truck down to a full service level in about 15-20 minutes (with hand tools). They both jump well, are incredibly fast, look amazing, and are insanely capable little trucks. 369 each at my hobby shop.
Thanks for the awesome videos! 👌 I like the $400. cutoff. It's a much more accessible option for some awesome rc's. I got a Bigrock a few months ago. It possibly has the most durable body on the market!
I have to say this, I recently picked up the arrma senton 4x4 blx 3s...two of my friends slashes blew a arms and an axle...after launching it 50 feet multiple times. The Senton suffered no damage whatsoever out of the box...jumped just as far drove just as fast but just didn't want to break. I got it for 340$ Should've been on the list.
I think we mentioned all the 3S BLX vehicles to go along with the #1 pick. You're right about the Senton. We have an older Senton 6S BLX and it's a bloody animal. -Brett
Solid top pick. I have a granite I've converted to a 4s outcast, 3670 2850kv motor on an 18t pinion... ITS WICKED. Running exb shocks and proline mx28's, backflip machine
What up, I got a Big Rock! Out of the box with 3S 11.1v li-po, it is an amazing truck. The modular design makes it really easy to work on too. Good looking, durable, fast!
Theyre ok for the price, but I regret not just having gotten a Maxx. Ive had to replace the driveshafts (one broke, figured the rest would too) & spur gear (factory plastic one stripped), as well as locktite the wheel hubs after they kept falling off. Spent $90 on 4 HD driveshafts & another $40 on a metal spur gear. The motor mount & mesh system are its biggest downfall, making it annoying to work on.
@@sofloflow i can name a whole lot more problems on the maxx coming from a person who owns both big rock and max, i am kind of disappointed tho because i spent like almost 300 bucks more on the maxx and that thing is fun but it really has to be babied, the arrma takes more of a beating to actually start destroying parts on it, just my opinion but the arrma is better and better for the price too
Love my typhon 3s done few things but she is very durable still all the stock arms etc she's a tank an very fun. Just recently made her 4s an ooh bb. Next is going to be a k6s exb then after is either limitless or xmaxx. Bash on ^^
The Arrma BRCC V2 is one of the best out there IMO. It's the only one in my fleet to last this long without breaking something. Still going strong and I've been pretty darn hard on it too. Great video and some very good looking models coming out.
Traxxas parts are literally everywhere, Arrma....not so much. I can go half hour for Traxxas but need to go an hour and a half for Arrma parts and who knows if they actually have it
My neighbor saw me driving my DBXL e 2.0 up and down the street and his kid was loving it. He came up to me asking how much something like that cost. He said "$200?". I laughed 🤣 and said try $1180 for truck and $300 for batteries so about $1500 total. He was like 😳. He wanted to get something for his kid. I told him they have much much cheaper and smaller cars that comes with everything you need except batteries. I'll refer him to this video. 🙂
I have both the Big Rock and the Granite, and I do prefer the Big Rock more, however it needs better tires. The factory tires are just too narrow and causes it to tip over more than the Granite. Fixed it by getting another set of Granite wheels and tires and mounted on the Big Rock.
@@shelbyrawlins314 yes it helps a lot. this is random but you should get some paddle tires and go to the dunes its hella fun playing with my big rock when i’m in the sand just make sure you get all that sand out after
Is it possible for you to do an episode on rear wings and how much they influence on a rc car's handling. I'm thinking not much at all...especially on racetracks because most only seem to have only one or two fast bends and a lot of hairpin turns which rely on mechanical grip. You guys appear to have the most expertise in a huge range of cars. P.S. greetings from Australia.!
@@AMain_Hobbies thanks. I've n ever driven without a wing. Gotta try it next time. I have two 1/10 buggies (almost vintage lol) and a 1/8 truggy. All nitro.
I hesitate between Big Rock and Senton, there are no tracks in my area and i dont know what would be better suited for someone new to bashing. I want something reliable and fun.
The wider and more stable Big Rock would probably be better for a beginner. If anything, you'll be running after the truck less to flip it back over. -Brett
I was looking into begginning rc so I need to ask. if it doesn't include a battery does it still means it's ready to run? it would be "ready to run" without a battery right? with that said perhaps the channel can recommend also batteries. Thank you
Yep, even without batteries included, a vehicle can be ready to run; RTR means the vehicle is assembled, programmed and bound to the electronics, includes a painted body, and is ready to be driven with the installation of batteries. What vehicle do you need a battery recommendation for? -Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies Understood. So it means it requires no assembly (wheel body painting). Thanks for the kind reply. I'm still far from knowing exactly which model I want but I'm wondering if there's a general recommendation for batteries e.g. if I have to care about voltage or pin connector type. I already know there's so called lipo batteries which are a newer type of battery and should be compatible if I buy a new rc. Thanks for the attention.
i would like to ask something on the limitless on the drupe screws to lower the front of the car do you turn them clock wise or counter clock wise to lower the front please help.
Droop screws limit the downward motion of any suspension arm. The more you tighten yr droop screw the more horizontal yr suspension arm will be. That's how I understand it anyway👍😁
TLDR spend a few dollars more on a quality charger -- i got one of your NSX mst rtr and its pretty cool. have not gotten to drive it much yet. having trouble with the small toolkitrc charger i got from yall. the balance port and main connector show different voltages. 8.9v on main but 3.85v on each cell. cant get it to charge. calibration needed? the car is dope tho. cant wait to find a nice spot to drive it

Just get an HPI Vorza Flux. Does 60mph+ stock. Runs 6S. You can still get them new or a nice used one for around $400. Amazing value because they also hold their value very well bc the people that know about them, love them.. Its an 1/8th scale 4wd buggy with a 4mm thick aluminum chassis. Metal D-Shafts. 6S capable. Castle Creations ESC & Castle 2200Kv motor for stock electronics. Mamba Monster 6S system with an HPi sticker on it. Still has the castle logo and works with my USB Castle Link Setup Cable & Program. Has everything a serious 4WD buggy or truck needs.. Fr/Cntr/Rear Metal silicone fluid filled Diff’s. Sway bars. Metal threaded big bore shocks. Super fast (63+mph rated). Super Durable. Parts are super cheap on eBay and it also uses any of the Hop-Up parts from the Hot Bodies HB8 buggy because it’s basically an electric version of it. I’ve had mine for like 4 years now and its literally indestructible. Its wayy above Traxxas quality. Easy to work on. All quality Hex screws. Just very well made and easy to upgrade or just leave it stock. Mine is stock except for aluminum hubs and steering servo/arm. I mostly run it on 4S because you just don’t need anything more than that and it stays super cool. I can ride in sand or loose dirt WOT for an hour and not even get the motor hot and i don’t even run a motor fan bc you don’t need it on 4S, offroad bashing. For 6S or for speed runs then yeah id probably throw a fan on it to be safe. It has the mounting bracket for it already on factory motor mount. Which i also like the design of that. Super simple. Ive ran it on 6S and it gets super fast but to me it only seems useful if you put some street tires on it and ride on the street then.
Hobbywing motors? The 3650 G2 is designed for lightweight 1/10 applications (buggies, touring cars, drifters) and the 3652 G2 is for heavy 1/10 vehicles, like 4WD short course and monster trucks. The 3652 will have more torque. I've used a 13.5T 3650 in a rock crawler though and it worked really well. -Brett

Yeah fan definitely help. If it's overheating bad, you may need to readjust your gearing. We use these aluminum fans on 7.4V and they push a lot of air and since their aluminum they don't break as easily. -Brett
Hi Brett! Really like the way you compare the RC models. I am getting back to RC world and I was always flying RC planes. Now thinking of a proper RC car. Had TRAXXAS RUSTLER 4X4 VXL on the first place and ready to buy. Shop in my area only sells Traxxas and it seems they have all you want and need. But… watching YT videos and seeing prices in Europe I could get ARRMA 1/8 Kraton 6S V5 BLX for the same price but I think that is an overkill. So, now on table a bit cheaper I am thinking either ARRMA 1/10 Big Rock Crew Cab 4x4 3S BLX Brushless or ARRMA 1/10 GRANITE 4x4 3S BLX Brushless. What do you suggest? Or anyone with experience. I am 29 years old so not a teenager anymore :D Thanks!
The 3S BLX cars are great! The driveshafts are a weak point but the cars are powerful, lightweight and can bash! I personally have a Big Rock and the servo died first run and I've gone through many rear driveshafts, so keep spares or get upgraded metal driveshafts. No regrets though. Getting Arrma parts can be an issue, so I always recommend to buy extras, keep them in the package, and return what you don't use down the road. AMain will accept returns back for a full year for top VIP members - as long as you don't open the package! Good luck Alan and have fun. -Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies thanks Brett for the reply. I was going to get the Arrma Big Rock was 100% but here in Bulgaria, Europe there is an issue with those parts… so finally went with Traxxas Rustler 4x4 vxl. Have a local shop only for Traxxas with everything in it :)
@@alanallen2363 I understand. In that situation, Traxxas is the much better choice, and the Rustler 4X4 VXL is a great truck! Enjoy and let us know if you need anything Alan. -Brett
@@evanicole55 Yeah It's basically the same as the E-maxx but in this case its nitro powered. And It's 4x4. It goes about 40+ mph. And then there's the T-maxx 3.3 which is 45+mph.
Im not a happy when people say the big rock is the same as the granite but a longer wheelbase. So many more changes that make the big rock better than the granite, in my opinion.
How about a best non traxxas. I understand it’s probably the best brand out there. But then you got to use there batteries and charger that gets expensive.
Sorry, I meant wheelbase to width; tire to tire. If we're talking about overall length, you're right, it's not. But the wheelbase is 12.87" long, and the width of the truck is 14", so it's a little wider than the wheelbase. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies thank u so much, i was curious cause hnr mars pro (pretty decent truck btw) has 3652 hobbywing combo, i was thinking is this 2mm gives somethig or if its true, thanks for respond cheers
@@oktawianjuszczak5178 Nice! Good motor to be included.

I’m trying to put 14mm hex wheels on my rustler I can’t seem to find a 12mm hex to 14mm but I need it to be extended about 1/4 to3/8 inch, idk if I’m just searching wrong key words or what but short story long lol is this something a main hobbies has?
Just buy extended 14mm hex hubs at the desired length and take the 12mm off completely. The 12 to 14mm adapters are all junk
@@rcyalater...2305 I didn’t even think that was an option thanks for the info
Reallly nice👍🏼
how do u keep a 3s setup cool any good cooling fans
i currently run 2s i already use a cooling fan
Yeah fan definitely help. If it's overheating bad, you may need to readjust your gearing. We use these aluminum fans on 7.4V and they push a lot of air and since their aluminum they don't break as easily.

2:11 that's Kicker Audio on there
What about the team magic E5 HX ?!
Bellow 400$ you have a reliable beast.
ARRMA just released the VORTEK can’t wait for you to review it
Traxxas should be worried 🤔
Ha no traxxas will always be better
Why? The Vortek is basically copied from a Rustler 4x4. Same outside design. Parts availability for Traxxas is the top one
@@DTYFLCS TOTALLY AGREE
@@reidisaacson9623 I was just asking
TRAXXAS EVERYDAY 👍🏻
Hi Brett! Really like the way you compare the RC models. I am getting back to RC world and I was always flying RC planes. Now thinking of a proper RC car. Had TRAXXAS RUSTLER 4X4 VXL on the first place and ready to buy. Shop in my area only sells Traxxas and it seems they have all you want and need. But… watching YT videos and seeing prices in Europe I could get ARRMA 1/8 Kraton 6S V5 BLX for the same price but I think that is an overkill. So, now on table a bit cheaper I am thinking either ARRMA 1/10 Big Rock Crew Cab 4x4 3S BLX Brushless or ARRMA 1/10 GRANITE 4x4 3S BLX Brushless. What do you suggest? Or anyone with experience. I am 29 years old so not a teenager anymore :D Thanks!
The 3S BLX cars are great! The driveshafts are a weak point but the cars are powerful, lightweight and can bash! I personally have a Big Rock and the servo died first run and I've gone through many rear driveshafts, so keep spares or get upgraded metal driveshafts. No regrets though. Getting Arrma parts can be an issue, so I always recommend to buy extras, keep them in the package, and return what you don't use down the road. AMain will accept returns back for a full year for top VIP members - as long as you don't open the package! Good luck Alan and have fun.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies thanks Brett for the reply. I was going to get the Arrma Big Rock was 100% but here in Bulgaria, Europe there is an issue with those parts… so finally went with Traxxas Rustler 4x4 vxl. Have a local shop only for Traxxas with everything in it :)
@@alanallen2363 I understand. In that situation, Traxxas is the much better choice, and the Rustler 4X4 VXL is a great truck! Enjoy and let us know if you need anything Alan.
-Brett
So the Rival has big, agressive monster trucks?? I was hoping it would have big, agressive tires. 🤷♀️
Wonder what's the fastest rc car under 400
Probably a dumb question but did arrma send yall a vorteks 4x4 to test?
No. They don't send us cars sadly.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies that sucks! Hopefully yall can pick one up and do a video on it!
I got a RC car for my birthday I got a bullet nitro it’s really good
Nice! Congrats.
-Brett
Rustler 4x4, Hoss, Vortex and Granite.
the traxxas slash 4x4 vxl is $430 plus a battery and charger, so the ar itself is already 430
The T maxx is actually 440$ now.
Is it good? 4x4?
@@evanicole55 Yeah It's basically the same as the E-maxx but in this case its nitro powered. And It's 4x4. It goes about 40+ mph. And then there's the T-maxx 3.3 which is 45+mph.
love the big rock.
Im not a happy when people say the big rock is the same as the granite but a longer wheelbase. So many more changes that make the big rock better than the granite, in my opinion.
I must be exceptionally hard in my RCs bc Ive broken my Big Rock multiple times.
Can you unbox the tenacity bd pro
I would like to know if I can buy your stuff online
By the way, very cool videos
How about a best non traxxas. I understand it’s probably the best brand out there. But then you got to use there batteries and charger that gets expensive.
hmmm...no redcat's
Correction,
The Big Rock 3S BLX is not as wide as it is long.
If that were true,it wouldn’t flip as easily as it does.
Sorry, I meant wheelbase to width; tire to tire. If we're talking about overall length, you're right, it's not. But the wheelbase is 12.87" long, and the width of the truck is 14", so it's a little wider than the wheelbase.
-Brett
Brett, let’s get down to reality here shall we.? The Arrma Big rock is not as wide as it is long that’s why it flips constantly.
It nearly is:
Product Width: 14.02" (356 mm)
Wheelbase: 12.87 in (327mm)
-Brett
If anyone wants to start racing the nitro buggy or truggy get the losi 8b rtr for $349 or losi 8t rtr for $399 its a great starters
Considering they're discontinued models, I disagree with that. The V2 models on the other hand look great, but they are not under $400.
-Brett
Is wrong im a 13 yk with a tto2 that cost 400 and a mini t that was like 200?🤨 but rc is my life!
How are you not gonna put the rustler vxl😂😂
What is the best UA-cam RC channel?....you know what the answer is!
M'y Channel youtube 🤣🤣
@kevintalbot obviously 😂
Slash my love!:)
I get the traxxas slash 4x4 beacuse i buy it i was very happy 😁
The vorteks is the king.✌✌
