Very good video and a fair conclusion. However, I don't completely agree. The Jumpshot is the cheapest, with the highest spec. To me, that's the definition of "value for money". I'd have put that as 1st for VFM, with the Gorgon 2nd. This would have left the HPI & Arrma on an even 13 points, which I think it absolutely spot-on: one is faster, lots of fun out of the box and more bash-orientated, but the spec is low. The other has a more premium feel and higher specs, but needs money spent to make it quick. To me, that's a 50/50. Cheers!

@TomleyRC

This was brilliant Phil. More enjoyable then some muppet taking a perfectly functioning RC and decimating it in the name of durability. I worked in a hobby shop a few years back, and we had customers always asking "Whats the best..." I'm not a Traxxas hater nor an Arrma fanboy, so I didn't have any issues with how everything scored. But I do like that Jumpshot SC as well.

I was wondering why traxxas didn't lower the body of the stampede a little bit(1-2 cm). It would have been much more beautiful. You can try that Phil in some way. PS: I love those competition videos 👏👍!!!

Typical Traxxas, it's always the little bits that break first. Still like the Jumpshot more on the looks side, although given the choice after your review I would take the HPI anyway, brushless of course.😊😊

I've always had a soft spot for HPI stuff - I think it's because I had an RS4 which got me back into RC cars back in the day :)

The team associated Rival MT10 kit is 250 USD, was 200 at christmas and comes with everything needed including a albeit slow but still works USB charger. I added a 25 dollar gool RC brushless ESC and motor and order a GOOLRC B6AC charger and just at 250 grand total. This was my Step-sons christmas gift and hes having a tough time trying to break it.

Stampede: Lower the body (cut the posts) and it looks waaaay better IMO.

So, start of December and after a 35yr break, I decided to get back into RC cars again. Saw a shedton of videos from a whole host of different channels and figured that this channel is the one I've settled on. Ended up buying a WLtoys 124008 off the back of what you'd said.

Your next video will be your thousandth!! Congratulations on all your success on KZread you really deserve it. I don’t know what I’d be doing now if I wasn’t inspired by you and Kev to get into rc. Thanks dude! ❤🎉

Stampede was the first "real" RC I bought myself in 1995 as a college graduation present. I need to put it back together as I started stealing parts to build one for my son. I ended up building one for each of my 3 kids. Green bits for my oldest son, pink for my daughter and blue for my youngest son. I thought all the newish Stampedes came with wheelie bars. My 95 version didn't and was easy to flip over and roll as well. Stampede weak spots are the front caster blocks break easily and bend the hinge screws. Upgrading to hinge pins with C clips is better, but aluminum caster blocks are the best option. I agree the rear motor placement kills handling. I looked at the Gorgon but don't care for the battery compartment on bottom setup. I'm surprised it didn't pop open while bashing at the skate park. I picked up a Stampede 4x4 VXL in 2015. MUCH different beast than the 2wd version.

Hold on. HPI does 3S which the others can't. It did 16mph, while the others did 24mph. 1,5 x 16 = 24. It's probably geared for 3S, so you should test it on 3S too I think. 2S is like the beginner speed for the HPI.

Great video, Phil. Very honest, unbiased info in my opinion. I like them all. I have the Gorgon and love it. And I’ve had a few stampedes in my life (nitro way back in the late 90’s) and loved them too. I really wanted to love the jumpshot so I could convince myself I needed one. 🤣 Cause it really does look awesome. But, it was just soooo slow. I’m not one to get hung up on how fast a lot of these can go. But the Stampede and the Gorgon were just on another level compared to it. Even on 3s it looked slow. Thanks for these types of vids, Phil. 🙌🏼 😎 I always enjoy them.

Excellent review. I would like to get a Gorgon when they come back into stock in the UK.

Yeah. It’s a decent truck! And sometimes it’s hard to tell it’s 2wd!

I would love to see a video like this for 1/10 scale crawlers and then One for 1/18 and 1/24 crawlers.

I really like my HPI stadium truck and short course truck. Sister cars to the monster truck. The fact you can move the center of gravity with six screws. Gorgon is hard to beat. It deserves the title.

Speed run surprise me the gorgon looks fast where the traxxas looked a lot slower but they where the same i think the gorgon even looks the best colours really pop on them especially the Greeny yellow colour i like it red still pops but not as much as the other one and i think its definitely the best value for money comes with battery and charger well cool ❄👍

Build a Tamiya RC over 40 years ago as a young teen. Would love to get one of these 2WD. How things have changed! My brother and I had about 5mins on the battery racing together then hook up to car battery for an age before next race. Lots of patience needed. Amazing cast metal models back then. New to channel and loving it 👍 takes me back. My 12yo daughter would love an RC MT but perhaps I want one more! Watching these jump has made my day!

I believe Corally may have discontinued there 2wd trucks, parts still available at the moment though. Also you need to upgrade the main plastic diff gear in the gearbox of the brushed Jumpshot if going to brushless, the flux version comes with a metal gear stock. Having said that the metal diff gear is only just over £6 to upgrade.

They have, sadly. The Corally 2WD trucks were as tough as nails and incredible value. It's a shame.

I enjoyed this affordable MT shoot out. Anyone can do a comparison on the top of the top of the line models. But these relatively in expensive models are where most of the viewers enter into the hobby. It’s best to know what’s the best r/c you can afford is when making the decision. Someone who buys a shitty r/c maybe be turned off by breaking and lack of fun and leave the hobby. These shootouts as we call them in the USA are meant to build the community. Can’t love this more. So i ask like Oliver Twist… more please

You could always do 2 3-car-shootouts, and then compare the 2 winners and have a King.. love these shootouts, and other content though I am more into FPV and crawlers.. watched nearly all videos, just catching up on the xmas calendar ones! ❤

We need more suspension cams, that is such a cool angle

Unfortunately for me, my local hobby shop seems better stocked for Traxxas parts than any other brand. From what I've seen, though, that Gorgon really take a beating.

Great series, hopefully this will help new comers see the checks and balances before they buy 👍

Nice video,oving these comparisons. 2 points. 1st. Not sure why anyone would buy a 2WD MT when you can get a 4WD brushless truggy for less! What are the benefits of these? 2nd: Traxxas Rustler 4x4 Vs Arrma Vorteks Vs Maverick Quantum!

Nice video as always Phil. I agree the Arrma Gorgon is the best overall truck of the three. I just kinda wished Arrma ditched the old Nicad battery and charger and put the money into upgrading to 2s brushless ESC & motor for similar money. I would even go as far as to delete the included transmitter/receiver and offer a roller with ESC and motor. It would bring the price down and reduce landfill. Lord knows I don’t need another controller kicking around the house! Come to think of it I don’t see the point of buying a Granite Grom at current pricing with the Gorgon around for similar money. Now if the Grom was $50 less…different story. And then there is Traxxas…… So out of date and they really don’t offer anything of value for people just starting out in the hobby. If they offered a kick arse entry level truck for a smaller profit margin they would gain a big brand following from people as they progress within the hobby. The game has moved on.

Cool shoot out! In the thumbnail pic you look like an older Ralphy from a Christmas story 😂

I've got lots of arrmas and the gorgon is badass, but I really like that jumpshot se.. How's it do with the rear mounted motor? Gorgon or se ?

I really enjoy these comparison videos. I'd love to see your opinion on best 1/10 basher in a comparison video. Arrma Granite 3S vs Rival MT10 vs Traxxas Stampede and a couple of other alternatives that could give those three a run for their money.

I enjoyed this comparison and I agree with the final results. I think the HPI has a lot to offer, but the speed really lets it down. I like the Gorgon a lot, but I think the body can let it down. You mentioned the Stampede has cross head or phillips screws. I agree that they are not as good.. I saw a review of the basic Bandit and the reviewer pointed out that basic Bandit, Stampede, etc. are aimed at people new to r/c. These people are more likely to have a crosshead screwdriver at home. I think this review is a very good idea.

hello @Tomley RC I figured my best change finding a old rc car was by asking you. Early 2000's there was a pretty big (maybe 1/8th scale) subaru impreza wrc rc car that i saw for sale at a local construction market when i was a kid and i cannot find it anywhere. It was very detailed. It had functional lighting (even indicators and i think reverse light), might have had sound and a horn and i believe either the doors or the trunk or bonnet could be opened. I have been looking for it for a long time and i cannot find it anywhere. I do not remember what brand it was. Does this ring a bell or do you know what rc car i mean?

Does the gorgon have the plastic diff cups like the granite voltage?

Hi @TomleyRC Is there RGT PRO RUNNER 1/10 in your reviews schedule? Any soon? Or maybe it is not going to happen? I'm looking for a good review or comparison to TRX4 and your reviews are my favourite👌 Many thanks

Have you reviewed the mini ERevo brushless? Ive check you library but didnt see any. I think youd really enjoy it. Especially on 3S.

Just picked up an Arrma Gorgon rta today. thanks this video helped me make my decision

One thing you have to consider is parts availability,my local store always has plenty of traxxas replacement parts available

During Christmas, Arrma was running a great sale on the Granite 4x4 mega in the US. Got it for $199. As a nitro guy, I love having the cheap electric basher to compliment my nitro Rustler and revo 3.3

If you want to buy a Gorgon or Granite Voltage, be prepared to replace the servo. I got one for my sister and it broke the first skate park. Went for an eco power and no problems yet.

The Gorgon was my first introduction into cheap beginner level RC cars so naturally I had to put a 3S system in it 😅 but overall VERY impressed and happy with the durability. It’s the only car other than the Grom I’ll take to a skatepark. Other than the battery tray breaking off a huge jump (technically it was my fault because I didn’t zip tie it in, Arrma actually includes a set with a new tray and the chassis is notched to accept it) it’s held up very well. The suspension soaks up huge jumps and looks badass around corners and landing. I ended up buying my nephew one for Christmas and had a weird issue where the remote reversed itself on the throttle. Luckily, I was able to figure it out, but only because I’ve had experience with other RTR remotes doing the same thing, but on the Gorgon, there is no throttle reverse switch.

Gorgon sucks, O'doyle Rules!

I enjoy my Rustler a lot more than my Stampede. Both brushless. Big issue is their shocks. They always bend, and they're expensive. I have lots of Traxxas, but lots of other brands. For body strength, my HPI FJ Cruiser body has taken a beating in the rocks here in Montana, but it does have some reinforcement. Only upgrades are tires and steering servo, and it performs really well, but it's smaller than my other 1/10 crawlers. Plus, it recovers really, really well! If you want a cheap crawler that does well, I'm happy. I definitely recommend masking screen with epoxy.

With the HPI being capable of running 3S, it makes sense it would be geared lower & you'd get a lower top speed on 2S.. I bet if you ran it with a larger pinion or on 3S it would be more or less the same as the other two.. Also, the Traxxas comes dead last in my opinion because it's far FAR too expensive, old as sh#t, looks stupid & it's definitely not brushless ready like the other two, you'll have to spend almost £30 on a set of "super heavy duty" (😂 😂) driveshafts, then replace the shocks.! Also.. IT'S TOO BLOODY EXPENSIVE.!!!!! Gordon just takes first place... I love the HPI but I'd rather have it as a short course truck.!! As always Phil, another smashing video.!! 👍 👍 👍 Stay safe out there mate & best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️

After talking to the reo who comes in my lical hobby shop the whole Traxxas line will be overhauled in nex 12 months a lot of changes coming.

The Gorgon looks like loads of fun. Makes me regret buying a brushless wltoys. Also I keep hoping that the Senton 3s goes on some crazy sale like the Vendetta did but starting to doubt it

The fgt Mars would have been a good contender if brushless was am option same price as the stampede aswell plus it comes with an hobbywing max 10 80a esc and hobbywing 3652 motor

Why was the MT so slow?? I had the older version and it was faster than that with no mods and on NiMH bat.

Gorgon 30 mm width gears = winner . Period.

You should definitely do one of these videos with Short Course Trucks! (Senton vs Slash vs SC10) all at the $330 USD price point The Slash BL-2S is $330, but is only 2S, whereas both the Senton and SC10 are 3S 40-50mph trucks.. so maybe the VXL? It would be very overpriced but the better comparison.

I absolutely love the quality of the HPI Jumpshot flux for a few dollars more. The ESC & Motor run well, the quality of the plastics are up there. The only 3 things i dislike is the plastic Spur which is extreemly expensive to buy a steel one. The other issue is performance of the motor and esc is nothing like the Traxxas Vellion. With a 4000kv and 3s esc i expected alot more . I have bought an 84 tooth spur which may help top speed a little when it arrives.

I just ordered Gorgon at 1am today. It’s gonna be my first ever rc car, and it rips 40km/h. Rental electric scooters in my country go max at 20mh/h and this bad boy just doubles it up. Damn I’m gonna be so happy 😊
