I believe what you said at the end. Competition between companies/brands only makes the product better and stronger. We, the RC enthusiasts are the ones that will ultimately benefit from this competition. Cheaper is good!
The Teckno and Team Corally don't have exposed gears on the bottom. If you never seen the channel yet check out "Aldo Loyal", that fella has been sending all his rigs alot further then most and definitely deserves a lot more subs then he has.
Great video. So after watching this.. my conclusion is.. the tekno is the best truggy. It's the oldest platform but it has proven itself. The price is very good compared too some other brands. I'm even pretty sure if you watch a little on the budget you can build a tekno with some cheaper quality esc, motor, servo, maybe even the radio/receiver. At the end the exb need electronics so that's the same. The Traxxas thing you'll need to change at least the servo but probably an other esc too so the price went up dramatically fast. And the Kronos it is just everything you don't want from a rc car. It's heavy, not very durable, not the best warranty or parts availability and it's just not a good looking rc car. So the tekno is by far the overall winner even the platform is like almost 8 years old! I 💕 tekno 🏆🏆🏆
Exactly what I thought appreciate you sharing this. I don’t have to have the latest an greatest Performance an Durability is what I’m looking for. I’ve asked my RC aficionados they all say Tekno !!!
@@ExocagedRC correct any video you'd stated only the revo had the pillow ball lol I really like how you took all four trucks put them next to each other and like look they're really not the same.
Simply beautiful im in love ♥️again, cant wait for you to get in some drive time with the sledge. Gota know what your thaughts are 👍thanks for all your hard work and dedication Joe.
years ago when rcs came out integy was on the ball with roll cages . if you put a cage on the arrma and it will be a game changer . matter fact put a cage on anyone of those and will fix so much ...
I think it all comes down to personal preference, the chassis on the sledge seems to be much stronger than the Kraton rtr with the triple rear chassis brace and all the extra contours. And the t bar is very thick aluminum. Traxxas is using 6061 T6 aluminum and Arrma doesn’t specify what grade of aluminum they use and if it’s tempered or not, which leads me to believe the quality of the aluminum isn’t that great. Traxxas also has more radio features and the clip less body system is a big reason why some people choose traxxas.
I see nothing wrong with it even if traxxas did copy arrma. They clearly took people's complaints and adjusted those on their Platform. Now if arrma comes back and makes changes we all win.
Traxxas made a lot of improvements to this chassis to make to very tough. Just the right balance of aluminum/plastic to keep it alive. I equate the Sledge as a Rustler VXL for people with a bigger budget. Just like the rusty this chassis can take a beating.
but they didnt copy arrma. they made their own truggy. im not biased. but, just look at them.... they're all truggies. to get so upset over traxxas and arrma is so dumb... its a fcuking RC toy truck. get real. then you look at all the racing buggies/truggies out there. noone over there is crying like.... "tHeY cOpIeD uS!!!!"
Yeah unfortunately the prices of all this s*** is about to push me right back out the hobby again and it's sad cuz I just got back into it a couple years ago again but I mean this is ridiculous $1,000 for an 8th scale
It's ok when Traxxas does it, but if anyone else does Traxxas will sue. Remember when ARRMA was sued by Traxxas for cantilever shocks? That's what happened to the Nero.
Those clip less body mount suck the inside bends and the work work the same body alway flying off the xmaxx give me body post and clips any day.now if Arrma one ups this then Traxxas will just sue again that there game
Will my 10 year old hpi vorza 1/8 still classes as a baser xd still running mint xd best baser I've had it beat the x max in hight and it still running unlike the x max rip xddddd

Other brands started the truggy, Tekno PERFECTED it! 😁👍
LHS should have the sway bar setup for the Sledge in today. Running it yesterday was awesome but for your track we’ll need them.
The Teckno and Team Corally don't have exposed gears on the bottom. If you never seen the channel yet check out "Aldo Loyal", that fella has been sending all his rigs alot further then most and definitely deserves a lot more subs then he has.
The old emaxx and tmaxx trucks also used pillow balls as well
Great comparisons, Thank you Joe. 💯👍✌
Thank you so much for the 4 way I think my mind is made up with getting the traxxas I like the Chasse layout the best
Really love and respect your channel man going to get my sledge now

U cant say 'Tekno' without seeing years of top #1 trophies from their 8th scale truggys & buggys! 👍
Exactly what I thought appreciate you sharing this. I don’t have to have the latest an greatest Performance an Durability is what I’m looking for. I’ve asked my RC aficionados they all say Tekno !!!
I remember years ago the first super trophy truggies where Nitro Mugen ones that i could never afford Lol!
Not ONE person I know buys a rc car because they are winning or have won races with it.
Great video brother! That was awesome
The T-Maxx also has a pillow ball style suspension on it
Yeah and the erevo
@@ExocagedRC correct any video you'd stated only the revo had the pillow ball lol I really like how you took all four trucks put them next to each other and like look they're really not the same.
Arrma all day ! ... that being said , I've never owned a traxxas but i would definitely take a slefge
Can’t wait for the testing bent my exb chassis but I did bash it hard off my 3 ft ramp to the moon
Great video really like the comparison and breakdown.
Look forward to seeing some slow motion footage of the sledge
Traxxas summit also has pillow balls. And I’ve beaten the hell out it and never popped one out! 👍😁😎
Simply beautiful im in love ♥️again, cant wait for you to get in some drive time with the sledge. Gota know what your thaughts are 👍thanks for all your hard work and dedication Joe.
I wonder would the arrma kraton exb m2c chassis would fit on the Team Corally Kronos 🤔
Traxxas will do tons with that chassis. It looks like a bullet proof setup
Traxxas for the win!!!!
The steering arms are the same as the 4TEC but bigger, those steering arms great, is good they use the 4TEC arms setup make then bigger
Oh no, going to upset some fan boys in this one lol. Looking forward to this comp.
I’m not sure sway bars are necessary on a basher. What does everybody think?
I would agree! Joe has a great track and I will need them based on running mine in the yard yesterday.
years ago when rcs came out integy was on the ball with roll cages . if you put a cage on the arrma and it will be a game changer . matter fact put a cage on anyone of those and will fix so much ...
Earl said Stack a few strips of gorilla tape on the body front and rear where the body mount shock towers rub on the body
Glorious
Sledge RTR = $800, Kraton RTR = $600. Is Traxxas tax really worth $200 dollars?
I think it all comes down to personal preference, the chassis on the sledge seems to be much stronger than the Kraton rtr with the triple rear chassis brace and all the extra contours.

Aside from when traxxas sued Arrma over the Nero claiming they invented cantilever suspension.. traxxas built an Arrma sledge
I would love to see Traxxxas "copying" Ryft
redcat team racing made a truggy MT8E 4s stll have it got it in 2015-16 so who copied who just how you make a truggy
Now with the Kaiju EXT, its gonna be a contender! 👍
Yeah unfortunately the prices of all this s*** is about to push me right back out the hobby again and it's sad cuz I just got back into it a couple years ago again but I mean this is ridiculous $1,000 for an 8th scale
Nero vs revo = not the same either
🤦
Traxxas won that, no?
Yup and they’ll win this one too. Hell they may decide that they came up with the 8th scale truggy
It's ok when Traxxas does it, but if anyone else does Traxxas will sue. Remember when ARRMA was sued by Traxxas for cantilever shocks? That's what happened to the Nero.
😄👍🛫🛩️1!!
