  • You've all been waiting for this! The Chinese La Trax (Traxxas) Teton rip off (Clone) is a favourite of mine, lots of fun for only $40. How does it compare to the real thing! HS 18311 Vs Teton
    The Traxxas Teton was bought here:
    www.modelsport.co.uk
    Buy the Chinese Fake Traxxas here haha... (It's actually really good!)
    www.banggood.com/HS-4CH-4WD-H...
    Spares:
    www.banggood.com/search/hs-18...
    Both rc cars are really good, but the La Trax is 4x the cost of the HS18311

    It is 4 times better, it is faster, has a speed limited mode for learning, and Traxxas prides themselves on parts availability and keeping the replacement parts for their equipment around. I'm currently looking to get into hobby grade RC and this video has convinced me to look into the Teton.

    I have a Latrax Teton and it has a special place in my heart because this one got me back in the hobby almost 3 years ago. Yes they are more expensive, yes i know you are not a Traxxas fan. But i love this little devil, went through 5 sets of gears for the 2065 servo before replacing it with a savox, never had problems after that and makes the steering much better. Traxxas now recently have a 2065x with metal gears. And i had a brush come of the motor after driving it for 3 months on nimh. I replaced the motor with a stock one and have been running it ever since on a 2200mah lipo. Although i don't run it every day anymore because i now own more cars it still runs fine and i give it hell waiting in vain for the motor to die. The metal drivecups start to wear now but that's no suprise and big deal. I did some minor tuning and i bought the expensive gtr shocks for my little baby. ( i know.)btw, you got to watch the temparature of the motor running it on lipo during summer and a lot of people have failing motors but this is still the second one and they are only about €12,-. I do like the body of the copy though.

    I bought my Teton a couple of years ago for $149.99 cdn and enjoyed it immediately. I found it to be a surprisingly capable little truck but I wasn't going to settle for that little brushed motor, so I replaced it with a Trackstar 5050kv brushless system. The result was a little underwhelming but I can still tweak the esc settings and hope to find a larger pinion.
    Around the time I bought it, I watched a lot of Teton-based videos and noticed that each one produced that same clicking sound. I was glad mine didn't, but eventually it started up too. I wasn't surprised when you said yours started clicking as well. It's just the nature of the beast. But if you do explore and find out what makes that sound please let us know.
    Btw, I drove mine on 2s until Venom made a 3s that could fit in the compartment. On 3s, a plastic driveshaft snapped within moments. I replaced all 4 with aluminum (couldn't get steel) axles ($49.99cdn) and turned down the throttle speed on my transmitter because certainly the plastic spur gear will be the next installment in my 'Carnage Box'.
    My 30 y.o. son loves the thing so whenever he's here he drives it while I bash it with my Clodbuster - makes for hysterical times where we hang onto each other for support!
    Apart from simple lighting, the only upgrade I plan on is silicone fluid in the rear diff so it can pop a few wheelies, hehehe.
    The Teton is lots and lots of fun and in my opinion well worth the money, even at $150. U.S.
    Sorry for rambling but it's just such a fun little truck to talk about!

    This is a conundrum; La Trax doubtless have to face far higher research and development costs than the manufacturers of the clone...but is it the customer´s duty to subsidise them?
    Another way to look at this question might be to establish how much it would cost to bring the clone up to an equivalent standard - once the punter´s paid for the clone itself, oil shocks, a hotter motor (if the combined Rx/ESC can take the heat) and decent tyres, how big is the cash saving over the cost of the La Trax?

    • @TomleyRC
      @TomleyRC  5 років тому

      Very good points there...and it's a shame that some of these manufacturers (not just Traxxas) have their designs copied. Although, not sure the price tag on the Teton is a reflection of that. I 'may' see if I can get the clone up to a similar standard, and cost it...video it etc... 👍

    Well have to be honest i thought this would be a neck and neck dead heat, but from my experience of the cheaper brands they just don't last long you want to use them regularly year after year! I know they can be upgraded with cheap decent components and will be just as fast and stable, however like you say the plastic quality is far superior and it doesn't stop there..........im not a traxxas fanboy by far and really don't agree with how they go about their business hence why i haven't bought one for many years and since buying other brands ive found myself fixing/upgrading so much and so regularly the cost has already exceeded my traxxas rc's and still have to wrench on them twice as much even the traxxas rc's are twice the age and get twice as much use 🤔 i love wrenching/tinkering when it suits me but not having to do it after every bash session just to keep it on the road.............😵😨 Admittedly im hard on my rc's maybe a different story if you're just ripping around carparks and football fields every now and again?🤘👍

    • @TomleyRC
      @TomleyRC  5 років тому +2

      Yes, some good points there. I'm not a Traxxas fan...but I can't deny, they have a good spares package and "generally" for everyday bashing they seem ok. Over priced certainly in some areas. 👍

  • @metalry101
    @metalry101 5 років тому +1

    Interesting comparison and nice video.
    You mentioned where you got the Traxxas and how fast you got it, but I didn't notice you mention how long it took to get the knock off. Was it a week? Two? A month? Also, you mentioned spares are available for the knock off, but do they ship from China too? If they're only a couple days out, that's not so bad, but if they're a week or more out, that would take a ton of the joy of saving money away. Saving money is obviously good, but a toy you can't play with isn't good value no matter how good the price.
    I could have missed it, but I don't recall hearing anything about waterproofing. The Traxxas has it. Does the knock off? If you live somewhere that gets a lot of rain or snow that may mean the knock off is shelved for long periods of time. At that point it might as well be considered broken because you can't play with it for fear of it becoming broken.
    I see that the cheap car is ~70% as fast, and 100% of the size for ~30% the money, but it seems to be 100% less waterproof, 100% less ball bearing'd and made out of cheaper components everywhere. What company even makes it? Is there a warranty or support after purchase? I don't know about elsewhere in the world, but in the US, Traxxas has excellent customer service and product support. For an advanced hobbyist that's probably not as much of a concern, but small and inexpensive cars like this aren't aimed at advanced hobbyists. They're targeted towards people who might want those resources.

    • @TomleyRC
      @TomleyRC  5 років тому

      You have some good points there. The problem is, when doing a comparison video, it's easy to get carried away and go over everything in fine detail, and then before you know it....you have a 40min video, which although some might appreciate it, others will get bored very quickly! So i tried to cover some of the main areas. If I was reviewing the Teton, I'd have covered it all.
      Waterproof probably would have been good to mention, the knock off will be 'splash' proof, but I'd not be going in any deep puddles etc with it. Shipping from China 'priority' takes up to 2 weeks to the UK, not sure on the US. Standard shipping you could expect double that, sometimes more. I guess that was not mentioned as a high majority of my videos are China branded RC reviews, and I wrongly presume people are aware of the shipping times.
      Anyway, I hope that clears a few things up for you....as for warranty support, I'm yet to make any claim from purchases, but I expect it is very minimal or non existent in some cases. Thanks for watching

    about same category really, and at that price... sure! found ball bearings for the 4 corners on eBay for cheap (diffs already have them), filled its shocks with oil, good to go. not a big fan of their B versions with the 540 motor in it, TOO overkill with power.

    It would be interesting to see how fast the clone is with a 2s lipo. I have one and a 1200mah pack fits nicely and gives a noticeable power difference. Just don't put a 2s on the teton because it will fry the motor. My nephew has one and that is why my brother made it brushless😁 For the money, the clone isn't bad. I already spent $5 and upgraded the axles to steel since one snapped. Other than that I may upgrade to bearings throughout and oil-filled shocks and let my kids learn to drive on it. I just need to slow it down for them or wait til they get the coordination before I let them loose with it in the neighborhood.

    • @TomleyRC
      @TomleyRC  5 років тому

      I expect a Lipo would give a couple of Km/h increase and the 'punch' would be much better. I am currently converting one of my old clones to Brushless...so it'll be interesting to see how it goes :) Thanks for watching.

    • @trxgt0578
      @trxgt0578 5 років тому +1

      I hope that conversion goes well for you. Looks like there will be some custom work to mount the motor and then keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't shred the all plastic diffs. Not many upgrades available unless you can adapt something from the WL Toys A959 and similar.

    Interested in how many of the Teton parts are interchangable on the clone model, as the arw plenty of aluminum parts for the Teton. The rear lower suspension arms look close to identical. The chassis of the hs looks similar to a px toys 9302 m-us.gearbest.com/rc-cars/pp_614297.html. You can tell in the speed run the Teton has a much lower turn motor just by the sound...hope for a tear down and comparison of parts. Ive been wanting a teton but not really a fan of RTR setups id prefer to build a lower end clone for less.
