I have been into RC for 42 years now, Yes I’m old school at 51 years old but i still love the hobby to the MAXX ....... mmmmmm well yes I ordered that too the Traxxas Maxx !!! But hey why stop there, I also ordered the Bluetooth module, lighting kit & wide Maxx kit. So that is all now on route, i am so lucky to have such a understanding wife. My collection of RC cars consist of the Traxxas X-Maxx 8s, & the older 6s model..... Arrma Mojave EXB .....GMade Komodo,GS02 ...... Traxxas TRX-4 Sport ...... Traxxas Slash 4x4 ultimate ....... HPi Baja petrol 1/5th buggy with a host of billet alloy extras....... & a trio of Tamiya recent releases which are still awaiting the build. That’s where it all started for me with Tamiya ! How RC has developed since the late 70s Anyway back to today, thank you again you again for your comparison video & keep up the great work my friend & most of all ....Stay Safe ! P.S.

I know it’s obviously an old video. But in case a new person is trying to choose, the Arrma has a lot of the smart features as well. It’s not as simple but it is there. Also the self righting feature has been known to blow out tires. I have both and I will always prefer Arrma to Traxxas. Traxxas spent too much time at the top of the brand list, they are and will always be overpriced. Sometimes, for giggles and sheets I like to buy the cheap Traxxas models and put all spektrum electronics in it. Add in the Traxxas telemetry and you got a hell of a car/truck. lol

After a jump, the moment you land, you should not have a lot of throttle because this sudden braking give a lot of stress in the gears and something will brake some time. So it's normal to happens. So this broken part just happens because of bad control of the model. Idon't blame you, because we buy these rc cars to play with them and not drive them like we go to the super market for shopping. So when we wand hard driving with the rc cars we must expect something to brake sometime. The point is to learn to drive better and better every time to reduce the chances to brake something.

Thanks for the video. The Traxxas has the flipless body, but comes at 3x the cost of a replacement Arrma body. I do like the clip battery on the Traxxas, but I guess it limits the size of the batteries too. You got 47mph on the Big Rock stock motor on grass or on pavement? I really like your editing format by the way. Thanks for the comparison. I was thinking of getting the Traxxas Maxx too, but it seems so similar to the Traxxas Max as far as type of car. Thinking of maybe I should go for a different scale care or style. I think the Traxxas looks better too. I have the Big Rock and it's my only serious offroad RC but the color scheme is so boring.

thanks for this great video bro! gave me a good idea of how much abuse the big rock can take since I ordered one yesterday 👍🏽 i’m glad it’s just a factory gear problem and nothing major broke. what would cause the gear to slip out? the hard landings?

@@MatthewSimm I’ve never used a Arrma Big Rock. I have used a Maxx before but it was also while I was using my Xmaxx so the two weren’t really comparable. I’d probably go with a Maxx just for the fact of the clipless body. Another question for you real quick? What camera and mic do you use to make your videos?
@arod7318

Its worth spending the extra 200 dollars for the max because the armma has plastic gears and it would cost you more than 200 dollars to upgrade to metal gear differentials. Good video mate 👍

You're gonna be into it roughly $140 to upgrade to steel diffs, still a good chunk of change saved over the MAXX.

The Max 4s is pretty durable. I had one. But sold it since I'm into mostly Giant RC vehicles. Even though I have a Granite V3 BLX and a Kaiju as well. Thanks for the video! You did add the widemaxx kit and I also added that plus the steel drive shafts. That made my max reach almost $800! I'm going to be honest and say that I felt it was too much money for such a small truck. I even had to buy a max 8 esc because the stock ESC burned out on me. So yeah. I did have to add an M2C expensive motor mount to the V3 Granite BLX (which is pretty much the same as the big rock) since the stock motor mount bends on big jumps and messes up the gears and that part that you messed up on this video.

Yeah I do agree dude, I think it might be a bit much for the size, but definitely a great rc car. I do need to get one of those mounts because mine bent (I bent it back) so that's probably why it broke that little shaft. Thanks for watching dude 😀

@@MatthewSimm The lower control arms do break with time. I would replace them with RPM arms. Also the shock rod ends have pulled out on me once and a new shock shaft is needed since they are pressed on for some reason. The plastic spur gear, once it strips, can be replaced with the metal 4s spur gear. 👍
