@@RCRoads ok, let’s not get crazy or retarded here “ Rek_RC” is a great channel, it really is but there are channels that have been dedicated to “Trophy Trucks” and “Short Course Trucks” for over a decade now on YT reviewing and custom building Trophy & Short Course & Desert with custom roll cages all fabricated from scratch. Your comment is like a slap in the face to all of them. Don’t get me wrong I love “Rek_RC” and I love the content that’s on the channel but to go way off the end and say “He’s the king of Short Course Trucks” (which you actually typed “Tucks”) is a extremely far stretch. Look, I will always go to his channel to find out his opinions on the latest RC’s that came out. But if I want a few pointers on a chassis, roll cage, frame that I just welded up the “Trophy Truck/Short Course/Desert Truck” channels are the ones I’m going to be looking at.🤷🏻‍♂️👍💯

@@peteroman4297 I understand. Your a hard core RC guy and are dedicated to the craft. I was just complementing a friend and providing encouragement. Honestly I run my cars for pleasure and don't worry so much about the details. I'm just an old man enjoying my toy RC's. Rek RC my not be the king but he has my respect and I really enjoy watching his videos. He has always been into the short course RC's and does a great job with them. I totally understand that some people are really into the hobby and get turned off by some of the lame comments. I'll try to not be so loose with my comments in the future but honestly it's not like were working for NASA or launching rockets.

As a subscriber and follower, as well as owning both, I assure you they are not in the same league, just flip the shell over and show the viewers the inside of the shell. The new V2 Violent vs Arrma Mojave video shows that a brushed motor can still out perform a brushless motor.

I have both the HBX Violent and the Arrma Mojave Grom and although I love Arrma it would be nice if they would have come out with a proper “Trophy Truck” with a solid rear axle and independent front suspension rather than just make another all independent double wishbone suspension platform that just about every RC company makes tons of. I purchased the HBX Violent for that reason alone, it has a “Trophy Truck” platform to it and it actually handles great. I love that little beast. I’m thinking of buying another one. I also just wanted to add that the HBX actually comes with a rear “Swaybar” too.👍👍💯💯🙂

This little truck is great for the money, just a few cons compared to the Mojave Grom. Small battery tray, locked rear axle, parts are available but you gotta wait, and the steering will wear after some use, causing it to wander under acceleration. Mine is still in pieces because of that. I need to shim the posts where the steering bulkhead pivots to tighten it up.

I saw this truck awhile back and didn't go for it,, because it reminded me of the wltoys short course...

And I already know before I open it ... IM GOING BRUSHLESS. Ironically 35 on 2s is where I'm shooting for my setup. on 3s it should do 55 +/- That's the plan so far...
