I appreciate that your neighbors are chill and don't cause any issues. However, here in Southern California, people tend to get easily offended. For example, one of my neighbors called the police on me because they found my "electric" remote-controlled vehicle too loud, even though it was during the daytime.
I couldn’t decide between the two so I bought both. I only have 3 RCs. That’s enough for me. Traxxas Xmaxx, Maxx, Kraton 4S. Other then that I’m getting into drones.
Your air control is next level. I’m learning with my Rival MT10 but managed to pile drive it into the ground once too often and broke the chassis. Cheap fix but you’re right, it’s how it lands and on what angle will break it.
I have an Xmaxx. I've never considered getting a Maxx. I have 3 8s exb Arrma's , 2 OC's and K8. I still bought a 4s OC last year and the 2.5 4S Kraton along with a few 6s Arrma rigs. The mini Maxx is to much like a scaled down Xmaxx. There's no point when all the Xmaxx has is being kinda tough.
Maxx is a great vehicle. I’ve never owned the XMaxx though. It just looks liked I’d have to have a huge space to run the XMaxx. The Maxx is so quick too.
I’ve been considering an Arma but it’s difficult to decide on which one. I have the Maxx. It is a great vehicle. It’s kind of the replacement to an HPI Savage Flux I had. I’m not saying the 2 are the same but as far as what I wanted in the savage Flux except fixable when something breaks.
Amazing video guys ⚡⚡⚡ Thomas mastered his Maxx like never before, well done man, but the asphalt is unforgiving and the same would have been true for the Kraton 💥 Rocky you have increasingly advanced air traffic control 💪it's great to see and all this is really well highlighted by mother Thunder 💪 You are at the top, continue to make us experience these wonderful moments of Bashung THANK YOU, peace 🕊️💙
That was AWESOME, bros! It looks like Thomas has been doing some practicing. Lol. His Maxx held up very well to those brutal landings, I was expecting more than a dogbone to be broke. Those crash landings look SICK in slow mo. Tell Thomas that the Kraus family says "Hello." Sorry that we can't be out there bashing with y'all. It looks like you're having a blast bashing. But we hope to see you soon. Bash on, brothers!🌩🌩👍🤘🚘👍❤️👊🤗🤪🌩🌩
Awesome comparison. Both did great and I am always impressed your skill of control in the air. Amazing. Watching this I was always wondering if there was an Open House during your session, or is that why the house is for sale🤣🤣🤣
My Kraton 4s will be here today! Tower Hobbies has them 100.00 off. $349.00. For scratch and dent (box damage). Unless box is worth 100 to you that is a steal!
@@thunderrc just opened it. Everything as it should be. Perhaps they ordered to many Teal colored ones. Very happy. I like the color. Looks more like 1/8 or 1/9 scale Just a heads up for you and the viewers.
Is that the newest version tho? It doesn’t say anything about having the new center diff? I almost bought the wrong one because they’re calling the old and new still V2.
@@davidzizelman2061 I believe you are correct. Without taking it apart, the power module/ transmission looks to thin to have a center diff. Believe it is a slipper clutch. Strange they have them mixed like that. Teal shows discontinued on Horizon site. Tower still has them.
I'm a certified Arrma fanboy but that doesn't mean I ignore facts.. and the fact is the Maxx is in the top 3 most durable trucks. If not #1. I'd still take a Kraton for pure driving enjoyment, but the Maxx is undefeated when it comes to beating the sht out of it.
I am exactly the same as you and completely agree. After 3 years of owning Arrma and Traxxas, I have gotten rid of every Traxxas with the exceptions being the v2 Traxxas Maxx and Trx4. The rest of my fleet consists of all Arrma 6s vechiles and an Axial scx6. The Maxx, in my opinion is the only vechile that Traxxas got right in terms of the way it drives. One of the many reasons I like Arrma 6s and 8s vechiles is because of the excellent throttle control at all speeds that the Spektrum esc/motor provides. The Traxxas Maxx also offers this whereas the other Traxxas 3s, 6s and 8s vechiles do not. Just try driving a Maxx/Slash or 3s Slash or Sledge at slower speeds and see where that gets you. They cannot operate when driven like that. They will cog and surge like there is no tomorrow and that literally drives me crazy. When vechiles perform like that it means they were not calibrated properly during manufacturing. Either that or they are being asked to do more than they are capable of. Not the case with the Maxx or any of Arrma's 6s or 8s lineups. In terms of the 4s Arrma vechiles, the 4s Mojave I found drove very similar to the 3s Slash in that it also had throttle control issues at slower speeds. As a result, I traded it for a 6s Mojave and never looked back. Yes, I lost money on the deal and that annoyed me but not as much as driving something that does not work properly.
@XWXW-lk4jf yeah I get what you're saying about throttle. But I don't have any kind of cogging with the 4S. I have all the Arrma vehicle lineup (Grom, BOOST, MEGA 4X4, 3S, 4S, and 6S) aside from the Gorgon and the 8S stuff. The 4S suits me the most. Although the 6S Kraton and Mojave are damn near perfection. I live in the middle of the Mojave Desert, so heat is always an issue. I never have heating issues with the 3S or 4S. But I've toasted multiple 6S ESCs and Motors. For some reason the 6S rigs just burn up easier in my climate. And the 4S Mojave takes easily twice the abuse the 6S does.. and the 6S is impressively durable. But yeah.. the Maxx V2 and the Maxx Slash are just about the only Traxxas vehicles I would recommend over Arrma. But that's just for crash durability. The Arrmas all handle significantly better and are much easier to work on. And are almost just as tough if not on par as the Maxx stuff. I love em all and wish I could have em all. I just haven't gotten into crawlers lol
Maybe the Arma is better, I have never owned one but the Maxx is a lot of fun especially if you have some space. Only thing is it’s so fast, you gotta watch it if you aren’t used to it on 4s.
Need to jump the trucks, no flips straight jumps for height and distance, and keep going till one breaks. Not cuase it landed on its side on concrete. That will deff give you a clear winner, no excuses. I think that would be a fair trial and comparison. Thank you for the video always good content.
Neither would ever break. You could drop them off a skyscraper. If they landed flat on all 4, they'd drive away. The angle decides who drives away and who gets carried
Just have fun driving them around. I send them for UA-cam bro. That is what people want to see. New cars getting trashed! That’s where the views and subs are 😂😂😂😂
I think you win with your air control and landing precision. I tend to think the Maxx in your hands would be as impressive in the air, your friend just isn't as strong of a driver. -- Nevertheless, both vehicles are very impressive. However, I would put my personal money on the Traxxas ... as you pointed out the Arrma would have shattered like Evel Knievel at Caesar's Palace. And I have ... I have a Maxx.
Considering you both were just at the skate park recently, breaking that dog bone was inevitable. I think, personally, I'd go with the Kraton though, if you're saying it handles better. I'm not a big jumper and prefer something that handles well.
0:46 LOOK OUT!!! You almost was wearing that truck as a hat Rocky😂😂 To me its a draw between them both👍😎👍😎👍 I would to see Thomas MAXX go up against your MT10 or your SC10?
It’s a bird ! It’s a plane ! No it’s a kraton
😂✈️🏆🏆⚡️
The air control of the Kraton is unbelievable. The Maxx is bullet tough but the way the K4 flies is so awesome. 😊😊😊
Yes that’s the truth!💪⚡️⚡️⚡️🏆

Yep like that here too unless you live where people like us have it harder than you can do anything you want but need to protect yourself
Yes me too! Texas is awesome for bashing!🏆⚡️⚡️🔥💪
There's an entire free country attached to California brother. Go live free! Just leave everything California there when you come.
It's Cali..
Start every session with a nitro, then when the officer shows up, kindly switch to electric.
Even tough the driveshaft snapped, it was an easy fix and in less than 5 minutes of wrenching, the Maxx was back in action. We had such a blast...
I couldn’t decide between the two so I bought both. I only have 3 RCs. That’s enough for me. Traxxas Xmaxx, Maxx, Kraton 4S. Other then that I’m getting into drones.
“You can still drive it like that though” -a good friend
💥💣👍
I can not wait to get the new v2.5 come spring time. I like my outcast over the maxx but with a center diff it will be even better I think.
The Kraton 🥇🏆🥇 wins (IMO)
Heck yeah bro! You’re gonna love it!💪🏆⚡️⚡️🔥🔥🔥
Great Video!! I love my Maxx so I'll say it's the winner. Thomas' air control has certainly improved since last year.
it has improved! 💥💥
Your air control is next level. I’m learning with my Rival MT10 but managed to pile drive it into the ground once too often and broke the chassis. Cheap fix but you’re right, it’s how it lands and on what angle will break it.

This is a great comparison. Just starting to watch so I can’t wait to see who wins.
Thanks so much brother!🔥🏆⚡️⚡️🏆

Awesome to hear from you brother!💪🏆🔥⚡️Hope you and the family are doing good man!
That ramp is crazy, RC killer haha. Nice video guys
I need to rebuild it soon, thanks for watching!
Not too many RC'S could have handled that landing!
Yeah. The Maxx is extremely durable. I’m guessing the Arma is also very tough.
💥⚡🌩
Which one is bigger?
Awesome comparison. Both did great and I am always impressed your skill of control in the air. Amazing. Watching this I was always wondering if there was an Open House during your session, or is that why the house is for sale🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you brother!💪⚡️⚡️💪💪🏆
So I am guessing the arrma Kraton 4s is more durable and better than the kraton 6s...am I wrong? Thanks
Is that Kraton stock thunder? I want to by a basher and dont know which one to buy first.
Both truck are awesome bro! I like them north the same! Can’t go wrong with either one! Maxx is more durable but the Kraton drives bretter💪🏆⚡️⚡️⚡️
Pardon my language but that was one Hell of show guys and mom!👍👍👍👍😁😁😎😎✌️✌️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Thomas Loves the concrete 😂😂🤪🤪🤪and he also loves Arrma😂😂😂 just wait for the next video lol
Hahaha yes 😂😂🏆🔥
They both are beast, i just think the arrma kraton handles better

Wow, Monster huge jumps.... Crazy 😅😂👍💪
thanks man!!💪⚡⚡
I do like the videos, but the over use of the thunder sound effect is very irritating
I will take this into consideration, thank you for the feedback 👍🏆
tem que fazer uma playlist com as musicas do videos
How high were those trucks were in the air before landing flat? It looks higher via video than I am guessing it really is.
They are going about 30 to 40 foot. 👍⚡️⚡️⚡️💪
what tires did he have on the Maxx? Thankyou
Prolines badlands 👍🏆⚡️⚡️
Dang Thomas, you almost brained that man…lol
You can’t turn your back when Thomas is bashing!! Wear your protective gear too !!! Haha he also almost hit the old man walking in the street 😮
“It’s getting dangerous out here!” 😂😂😂
Well who walks into a Monster Truck bashing area? Did y'all see how fast he was moving, LOL?
Nice jumping fellows!!
At least put a mattress to land on lol, awesome video 😊
The driver won the match lolz Kraton killed it thoe. The German guy still has skills👍
💥💥
Love the kraton 🤘🏻
me too! truly impressed with this one!⚡💥💥
What else do you do with a rc truck when your not sending it 30ft into the air and repairing them
Just have fun driving them around. I send them for UA-cam bro. That is what people want to see. New cars getting trashed! That’s where the views and subs are 😂😂😂😂

Good call brother!💪🏆⚡️⚡️🔥

Thanks so much!💪🏆🔥⚡️⚡️

To me its a draw between them both👍😎👍😎👍 I would to see Thomas MAXX go up against your MT10 or your SC10?
Haha it’s getting dangerous out here! 😂😂🏆🏆⚡️⚡️
arrma kraton is a tank and a beast❤
Wrong landings from 35+ heights onto concrete will always end sessions. On grass they at least a chance at surviving.
What a test. Thank you…..
TGIF!
Yes indeed bro!🏆🔥⚡️⚡️💪
To get a real clear winner do a round 2 switching transmitters i think you would miss the asphalt 😂😂😂
Has any neighbors ever gave you grief about landing in there yards 😅just wondering 💭
Ha ha a few times they have😂😂💪🏆⚡️
You’ve got to tell us the height that Kraton is reaching..PLEASE!!!
That Kraton was soaring!!!! Maybe Rocky can tell you how high it was going. I’d guess 40 ft?
Anywhere between 30 to 40 foot high 💪🏆🔥⚡️⚡️
If you would have said 50 I’d believe it. That little beast gets UP!
That’s actually the version 2.5
I vote for the Kraton 4s v2.5 just because I have one same color :)
Awesome!
I am truly impressed with this Kraton 4s💥💥💥
Kraton obviously easily beat the upgraded maxx
