@@JMRST I have a first gen 6S Outcast and a number of Traxxas vehicles the Outcast is hands down the best RTR I've ever driven and the Armma trucks have been updated I don't imagine they're worse. I'd buy another Outcast before I replaced it it's that good and they have a 1/10 4S version that sounds like the perfect all around truck out of the box. As far as aftermarket that's kind of the thing with Traxxas. No doubt they have a larger support base and the platforms are versatile but I find that to get the most out of them they _need_ upgrades. That's why the common saying with Traxxas is that people like what they do for the hobby more than the products themselves. That being said I don't hate Traxxas and I plan on buying (and upgrading) an X Maxx myself but as far as value and satisfaction with an RTR I lean towards Arrma As a side note. I have a friend that owns a hobby shop that sells most brands and he swears the absolute value leaders are Redcat but I'm personally not crazy about their designs and parts are harder to come by
