I haven't raced RC in over 25 years OMG so much has changed. Picked up a Arrma Kraton 4s and I am having a blast. The radio feels a bit cheapy but other than that a great reintroduction. Was going to pick up a traxxas but I am happy with the Kraton.
It's nice to get an honest review of the top 10 cars by someone that actually drives them and knows what they are all about. You did an awesome job. Thanks may friend. 💯💯
The sledge doesn't need a modified motor mount. It needs the "washers" that attach to the chassis underneath that effectively "lock" the screws that hold the mount in place. A set is around $10-15 usd and is much more simple than completely swapping the motor mount You can buy multiple different styles that accommodate tons of different gearing options. First time I had my sledge out the motor slid a bit and I lost mesh. Got the "washers" to lock it in place and I have BEAT on that truck and the motor is locked. Should have been a stock addition from Traxxas with OEM options for different gearing. But hey that's what aftermarket parts are for right?
had a few ideas team me what you think a button activated parachute for high jumping to save the car from slamming or putting foam in the body and landing upside down to pad the landings
The Maxx is tough as nails but imo the Kraton performs a bit better now if you want a back flip bashing beast get the Outcast but keep in mind it's not great on a track compared to the Kraton obviously because it has a shorter chassis, it all depends on what you like the most, racing or bashing? That's why I like the Kraton, it's pretty good at both. Either way long as it puts a smile on your face is all that matters at the end of the day and any one of these 3 will definitely put a smile on your face!!! 😁
Raced nitro back in 95 to 2000. Maxxas was a budget brand back then. Obviously not anymore. I'm looking to get an rc and build a motocross style track. Probably go electric. Recommendation?
Good honest top 10 Matty, thought it was time to try the Corally XTR and Dementor. Used a max8 G2 combo in it and the things an animal ha,ha, I've heard the steering links break so got some big heavy duty ones of eBay $24 . It's pretty tough, haven't broken anything yet. Will upgrade the Dementor that's very fast with Corally electronics. We bought the team magic E5hx plus 4s , seems like a beast . Will try it tomorrow. Just wanted to try something else instead of our Arrmas and Xmax . Just the XTR keeps on impressing me. Keep up the great work mate.
Hey how are you dude? I love the corally xtr, it's not without its weak spots but what rc car is? I know I'm not the most extreme basher, I think that's maybe why I like the xtr so much due to its awesome speed and handling. I haven't tried the team magic cars yet but from what I've seen on aussiercplayground, I think it's time I try one out haha
@@MatthewSimm you will love the E5hx plus mate. Not cheap but it's fully upgraded. . Aussie rc playground built the first 4s e5hx then Team magic must have seen it and did a copy. I'm glad they did. The thing is fast and very tough. These companies like team magic and corally are listening to the reviewers and they need to listen to you guys. I'll buy more from them , they are trying hard and the trucks are great. If it wasn't for you guys I'd be bashing my grasshopper and not even know what a Traxxas is . Ha,ha, corally have a lot of upgrades and it's my favorite thing to upgrade things . Can't wait to see what they do this year. Have a good one Matty.
Thanks for the video! I'm thinking of getting an RC for my dad that would be good for beginners but is still a fast basher. He also likes monster-truck style the most such as the hoss, would you have any recommendations for what car?
love the video man! helped me out so much, music was just a little loud but not too much, enjoyed listening to good rc’s but also had some good music! don’t listen to anyone saying too loud or “bleeding earwax” those are just haters man, i loved the video and thanks so much for posting, not to be rude or anything and u don’t have to answer, but do you have a little lisp? in the 9th or 8th car u lisped i though so just wondering, don’t have to answer if u don’t feel comfortable!
I havent got one RC in your list as none of them are for me. I have 25 RCs which is mostly trophy/short course trucks (Losi 5T, UDR, Super Baja Rey), rock racers (Super Rock Rey and its baby brother), and a few monster trucks (LMT Gravedigger, 3XLE, Outcast 8s). The rest are all in between like crawlers and race buggies/truggies.
For me it would have been good to have a close up of the All the actual cars before the driving of them. As for me as someone new into the hobby it would have been helpful. Otherwise great video thanks
Great video! Thanks. Little feedback for you, the music near the end of the video (when you started honorable mentions) makes is really hard to hear you..
My best RC CARS ARE CARISMA GT24 series, ( which are the RS rally version, the R rally version, and the hyundai i20 rally version, and the 2022 puma hybrid rally ), UDI 1604 RALLY F PRO, ZD RACING EX16 01 PRO / ABSIMA 1/16 TOURING ( ABSIMA same as ZD RACING EX16 02 ), KYOSHO FAZER 1969 CAMARO Z28 VE, MAVERICK RX RALLY BRUSHLESS, HPI WR8 FLUX 3 BRUSHLESS, HOBAO HYPER GT BRUSHLESS, and HOBAO HYPER VT BRUSHLESS .
I want one. Never had one or seen one in real life but I want one like the first one in the video. I know he said Traxxas Maxx but I don’t understand the mod mentioned. Anyone wanna help a newbie with any advice for beginners?
Hey Mathew, Great video you have put together there, shame about the last few minutes but it is what it is & these things happen sometimes. Hope your keeping well cobber, stay safe 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Not sure how you can give a top 10 rc cars when 2023 has only just started and new models will be coming out throughout 2023? Great list , but not fair to models making with a later release date.
Hey Scott! 👋 all is well dude, how are you? I've just been super busy with work and moving houses (long story lol) but I'm still here and have a new video coming out tomorrow
Wow surprise surprise.... Arrma & Traxxas. Take your head out the sand. How about Hobao: SSTE & VS2 are built with Xray-like quality at awesome prices for ARR. Associated? The MT10 is THE BEST 1/10 basher for 2023 and probably the forseeable future. The less known 14MT(and it's other 1/14 variants) is also incredible.
Content creators need to remember BACKGROUND music is just that, I couldnt even hear the words spoken the last 3 minutes of this video, annoyingly loud music.
Bro, you should really state that these are the best cars in your opinion that you can buy in January of 2023. The year has 11 months left. There's a lot of stuff unannounced currently. And most of the unannounced stuff will be coming out in the next six to nine months.
I did dude. I said at the beginning of the video. (The best rc cars of 2023 that you can currently buy) Wither way, I'll do another update in six or so months 😀
Good Video, But The Music Is Way Too Loud, I Couldn’t Hear What You Was Saying. You Might As Well Been Saying, Bla, Bla,Bla, Because Nobody Can Hear You At All.
Great video until the music came on for the last three cars…. Don’t you watch your edits through before posting…? I couldn’t hear what you were saying over the garbage music…
Traxxas should not be in a Top Ten list. In a Top one thousand at max. Their crap is overrated, overpriced, brokes down easily and electronics are like the most poorly made chinese thing in the world. Big no no for them.
I personally would’ve put the Keaton 8S somewhere in that line up, probably even at the top spot of number 1. If you hook it up to a Traxxas X max or XRT it will drag it all over the place. It’s pretty epic.
Sorry for the loud music at the end!
It was a simple editing mistake and unfortunately I cannot change it now 😕
4:54 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤

Things got pretty crazy 🎉
Matt your voice can barely be heard as the soundtrack is abit loud.
Editing glitch, I'm sorry dude! It's been a while since I've made a video and it shows haha
@@MatthewSimmwe can tell
😂😂😂
I recently acquired an XRT. I hate to say it, it's definitely my all time favorite rc hands down.
Nice dude!
Love ❤️ the...XRT
I haven't raced RC in over 25 years OMG so much has changed. Picked up a Arrma Kraton 4s and I am having a blast. The radio feels a bit cheapy but other than that a great reintroduction. Was going to pick up a traxxas but I am happy with the Kraton.
Just wanted to mention, had a XRT since they dropped, and upgrading the rims and tires is a must. The M2C servo saver is almost a must as well.
It's nice to get an honest review of the top 10 cars by someone that actually drives them and knows what they are all about. You did an awesome job. Thanks may friend. 💯💯
Hey thanks dude 😊
What's your favourite?
@@MatthewSimm Obviously an XMaxx but I think the Maxx V2 would be plenty good for bashing. 😀

Arrma 6s Kraton ,outcast, mojave, & Typhon. Not to mention the EXB Talion 6s. All complete beasts!
had a few ideas team me what you think
a button activated parachute for high jumping to save the car from slamming
or
putting foam in the body and landing upside down to pad the landings
Some hard foam could work, so could a parachute however, I'm not sure you would want to keep Re packing it after every jump or how it'll fit haha
What’s the best RC car for about £150?
Nice work bro 👊
hey cheers bro! how have ya been?
A nice shopping list Matt👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed dude 🙏
I’m a first time buyer/user…I’m stuck between a Maxx V2, Karaton 4S and the Outcast 4S…any help or recommendations?
