And less then half the price of a raminator

Most of my life I’ve had traxxas. And even recently when I got back into the hobby seeing how far electrics have come since I first started the hobby in the 80’s and 90’s, I’ve bought a few more traxxas. I have the XRT and the Slash BL 2. But when I’d go to the hobby shop I always had one eye over in the Arrma aisle, even though I’d never owned one. Then it happened, the Gorgon came out. Saw a bunch of reviews on here, yours included, and I had to have one. I still think traxxas has great products. I still have all my old traxxas nitro cars from the 90’s. The nitro stampede, the nitro sport, etc. But they’re shelf queens now. But after buying the Gorgon and experiencing what I got for my money, I was sold on Arrma. I even went out yesterday and bought the Big Rock. I’ve gotten to a point where when I walk into my hobby shop now, I walk right past the traxxas aisle to the Arrma aisle. And here’s why. Not because I don’t like traxxas anymore, I love their RC stuff, but for me, a blue collar guy without a lot of expandable income, it comes down to what am I getting for the price I’m paying. And let’s be honest, except maybe the XRT and Kraton 8s (both $999 at my hobby shop) across the board, most all arrmas stuff is cheaper than traxxas. As an example, I saw the traxxas mini E Revo there. A tiny car, probably still good quality, but tiny car, priced at $300. On the other side of the aisle, Arrma has the Big Rock, a much bigger and more solid looking product, for $350. As a consumer, that’s something I pay close attention to. For me something like that isn’t even a decision. I’d pay $350 for a BigRock all day long over a little tiny traxxas car that’s only $50 cheaper. Like I said I still love traxxas and have a LOT of their products past and present. But I’m finding it really hard to keep looking at their same old cars and trucks, at much higher prices than comparable Arrma RC cars and trucks. I mean you just proved my way of thinking in this video. For $30 less than the stampede, with the Gorgon I feel you’re getting more accessories with better parts, like bearings and such, better charger, for less money. Still love my traxxas stuff. But I can tell you I’m slowly starting to become an Arrma fanboy. 😂

Arrma makes decent vehicles certainly much better than their sister company Axial. They're neither cheaper than Traxxas nor better but they're definitely different. I would say buy best vehicle you can at the time you buy no matter who makes it. i'm watching this video to see which budget give to a friend so they don't wreck my nice trucks rc to go with my new stampede, and I have a granite in the mail too. I can fix anything on the 2wd stampede in five seconds so I'm leaning that way but will see. But I really want a stampede 2 Wheel Dr vxl which is 10 times better than either of the vehicles in this video, but that has to be on eBay

I'm a Traxxas fan, especially Xmaxx and Maxx, TRX I like them all, but the Gorgon is really getting some good reviews... definitely good for a first timer 💯

Love my Gorgon and granite. Just put my first pack through the Gorgon and it’s so fun being 2WD, kinda love it, something different. Also love my losi DBpro and e revo 2.0 though my god!

Hey Man. I just want to say how much I enjoy your videos. I've been heavily into RC for a few years now and regularly watch a number of RC'ers that I subscribe to. I stumbled across you only 2 weeks ago when researching one particular car and I just really like your style. You share information well, get straight to the point, have good quality video, and a soothing voice! (some people are too shouty or full of themselves). I've watched around half of your backlog of videos now and have obviosly subscribed. Keep up the good work buddy.

A really good Comparison

Tug of war sounds awesome JT looking forward to seeing that!!👊

the little mini granite looks so cool!

Great video! At the beginning of the video it looks as if the stampedes shock shaft was off on the front.

Waiting for this 1 let's go !

Thanks for this video. It was helpful and informative

It's about time!!!lmao great vid man

Nice 😎 Great comparison. Innovation is awesome, yet tried and true design is hard to beat. That being said I'm a fan boy of innovation

Great informative vid on both cars. Gorgon looks like a nice fun truck to have to. Got me a Gorgon the way as well to.

Discontinue the stampede drop the price of the hoss(it's overpriced anyways) and make a 2wd version. Otherwise the gorgon has no long-term competition. Arrma wins this versus for sure.😊

It's based off the granite voltage chassis. But highly improved in that its totally different but yet looks very similar. Drivetrain is much much stronger, chassis is beefed up. Bottom loading battery tray, driveshafts are from the 3s lineup. Motor is a 550 14t can instead of 540 20t can. It goes 8mph faster. 18mph vs 26mph. The truck is now bullet proof and every weak point of the voltage has been addressed.

Gorgon is much cheaper, much much much stronger, and can handle 4S power without breaking, and seems to have much better parts all around. I don't see how the Stampede is even relevant anymore.

thank you!

I think I'm gonna get the aarma granite boost 4x2 soon and the Trxxas Stampede might as well also hope to see you do the vxl systems in both cause i was told you can't put the traxxas brushed combos in the aarmas.

I think the Redcat Dukono wheels would be amazing on the Gorgon.

Looks like the front left shock on the pede is already bent/broken? 😮

If the motor is in front of the rear axle it's mid motor. It's a little far back so it would be a mid rear motor

There’s people putting powerful brushless systems in the gorgon, and it takes it no problem 😉 where I live the pede cost twice as much! I could buy a gorgon and a max10 combo and still be cheaper than the pede😅

Gorgon vs stampede brushless vxl 2wd whats best

I just wished you could get the black Gorgon kit without the battery and charger.

Gorgon is super fun handles well does like 25 stock 26 on2s and jumps well

Is this the new 4x4 brushles stampede?

Great video..can you do one with the new corrally cars and the arrma kraton and typhoon since they say ..they are the arrma killers

what....that is crazy at that price!!

Gorgon frame looks the same as the Arrma Raider.

Both winner winner chicken 🐔 dinner 🍽

Popping caps are just a matter of time. Doesnt matter

PROS : -Price is cheaper than 4wd or brushless trucks ( BUT... its brushed and 2wd ) -NICE LOOKING truck , to me it has the appeal of a "modern Lunchbox" -Modern invisible body clips -Nice looking big tires that shouldnt wear too fast , no foam ( helps the suspension ), hole in the tire to get water out -Oil filled shocks -Ball bearings -Sturdy plastic chassis and flexible parts -Good compromise ( for a leisure 2wd ) motor position / low cg battery placement / balanced chassis for jumps -Radio seems decent with ESSENTIAL STEERING END ADJUSTEMENT ( that s why Traxxas TQ radio is just crap that kill the cheap rtr servos , adjustable power ( but does it lowers braking at the same time ?? i hope it doesnt ... NOTHING ABOUT THAT IN ALL REVIEWS . -Arrma standard 3S final transmission parts ( inner dif gears , cvd plastic driveshafts ) BUT... see later -SLIPPER that should help to protect transmission BUT... see later -"KIT" to build version BUT... see later CONS : -Plastic gears , same design as first version of Hpi JUMPSHOT brushed , that has proven to be a real issue one this car, and wear quickly , even on brushed motor and 2S. Arrma plastic can be better , but its still plastic , not steel. -Charger is total crap , non reliable , super slow ( more than 3h in 2023 !? for the poor included nimh ) = direct in the bin . Just read comments on S120 charger ... -Battery nimh is crap as well , non standard size ( hardly usable with other car ) , low power , heavy weight ... a Lipo doesnt cost much more but would have been so much better. -HEAVY truck ( 2.7 kg ! for a 1/10 2wd is very heavy ) -Poor esc , 25A only for such a heavy truck , shouldnt last long. 40A should have been minimum. 2 in 1 esc are crap , need to change everything ( esc + radio ) if you want to get brushless + NO RECEIVER BOX , you have to pay for it as an option -Poor servo , plastic gears , low specs , combined with fragile servo saver as what ive seen in some reviews -Body is nice but not lexan : its crappy PVC . ( becomes white under hits and breaks much more easily ) -Important replacement parts are VERY expensive . 50 bucks the diff with plastic gear housing ! , 40 bucks the slipper , more than 50 bucks for the unpainted body shell ! / 70 bucks painted with colored plastics set , for cheap PVC body ! , 40 bucks for 2 wheels ! .... Waouh , its cheap to buy but as expensive if not more as a high quality 1/8 car for replacement parts . -Suspension is too soft . You have to change the stock 100cst oil and find harder springs , if you dont want to hit the tarmac on each landing -Heavy weight + powerfull brushed motor = low autonomy . Just a little more than 10min , in 2023 , that s short. ( you run 1h with a stock Tamiya on a 5000 2S lipo ) - What about dust in the encapsulated gears inside the chassis ? i am curious ... of course NOBODY SPEAKS about that in the reviews ... - Encapsulated motor = you need a fan ( same problem on Tamiya DT02 ) , and even with a fan , with no aluminium motor plate, it gets hot. -Plastic chassis plate motor fixed = not reliable motor screwing , hard to keep a good mesh pinion / spur = spur gear quick wear . -Slipper plastic end nut , screwing hard the spring on the aluminium slipper red shaft , seems to be very fragile conception to me. -"Kit" version has most parts already assembled , so not a true kit , more of a "semi assembled kit" , and comes at the same price , with the crappy nimh and charger !? STUPID -Color is related to the version. "Kit" its black only , "Almost rtr" without nimh and charger its blue... I think many "non beginners" could be interested in the truck , and would have liked a true Kit version , with unpainted body and of course no nimh , no charger ... and even no electronic, at a little lower price. Conclusion: OK , its nice and "cheap" , seems to be a fun 2wd driving truck OK it works well in all the reviews , even bashing hard , FEW PACKS RUNNING , just enough to sell you the product ... But what about 10 packs or more ?? Sure it wont last and cost you €€€ to remplace all the crappy stuf ( battery , charger , quickly broken PVC body shell , transmission gears , extra fan ... at the minimum , and even more if you go brushless : motor , esc + radio ) Of course , for 150 bucks RTR , it cant be a premium competition car , we know. Performance is not the problem , but it has to be RELIABLE without costing you €€€ to play with it the first year... and not only 30 min on KZread reviews There are trusted alternatives that cost about the same and sound better : Hpi Jumpshot V2 , latest version with steel gearing and slipper cover ( just get the extra metal diff housing gear of the flux version that costs only 8 bucks , and you get FULL METAL TRANSMISSION ) Its a much better performing 2wd truck , about the same 12T 550 motor , full ball bearings , oil filled shocks as well , nice TVP ALUMINIUM chassis ( much LIGHTER car ), STEEL dogbones and outdrives , STANDARD 12mm wheel hex ( not specific 14mm on the Arrma , so you have yo get their 12mm optional part to get other cheaper wheels ), stronger METAL gears servo , no crappy nimh and charger , bullet proof transmission with METAL motor plate ... much better SEPARATE 60amp ESC ( hobbywing 1060 ), receiver box , TRUE LEXAN BODY .... and cheaper replacement parts ... so ? Gorgon sounds less like a bargain now . Traxxas brushed 2wd Stampede / Rustler / Slash are not perfect and more expensive, but after the new BL2S releases , they should be sold at discount prices and could be a good alternative with proven quality. 😉

Gorgon is better!! Just like all of their vehicles are better than traxxas.

Ecx Axe

Stampede is a nice rc car but a too old, gorgon is a new formula, toughter and overall better.... is comparing a medium low range smartphone from the 2010 with a new one of today

Why does Traxxas think they are so much better then everyone else when their not?! Eventually they will realize that people new to R.C. will go with the product that's more to their budget and more reliable! TRAXXAS, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!!

Are you kidding? The Gorgon is better than anything from Traxxas.

And yes I understand stampede looks dumb my kind of dumb but the Gorgonzola looks just cheap sad kid christmas cheap.
