Pointless to compare it to a Kraton, it's an SCT. So, only comparison that matters is the Mojave 6s and it's only $70 cheaper. Now, performance and handling, that might be a totally different story!

@edwinlomonaco6754

5 ай бұрын

@jerryvolpini7987 Well first and foremost the Mojave 4S is closer in design. Therefore a more direct comparison. And is 200 cheaper. My point is that there are better performing options out there for 700. If you compare the 6S Mojave then it's an even bigger win for Arrma. The 6S has real hobby grade construction. Not plastic axles with u-joint style cvj. The comparison to the new Kraton is valid. Look at what you get for 700 in the new K6. Yes they're two different style rc's. But even when you compare style for style 700 for this new Traxxas is not a good value.

@DoRC

5 ай бұрын

@edwinlomonaco6754 I think value depends more on performance and durability than the underlying construction. Is a steel drive shaft really a better value if the plastic drive shaft works great and doesn't need to be upgraded?

@edwinlomonaco6754

5 ай бұрын

@DoRC Well that changes the conversation. The durability can depend on driving style/skill. I've seen completely stock 6S rigs take an absolute beating. But a major factor is the person driving that rig has superior skill. And will land that thing perfect every time. What is considered durable in one rig can be an absolute weakness in another. 6S axles hardly break. With Arrma what they do is pop out or bend. But there's a simple solution to that. I will say that I've owned four 4s Arrmas. And there are weaknesses in their design that is the reason I no longer own any 4S rigs. But again what I like to do with my rc's is pretty extreme. So I typically recommend people buy 4S Arrmas as their first rc. They are, in totality, very durable. But to your point durability and performance is somewhat subjective. And driving style/skill can also determine your view on value. I've seen so many people speak negatively of a brand while not realizing that how they're driving will cause that same damage on any rc. They can only take so much. To me 700 is a lot of money for what you get with this new rc. I feel the same about 1/5th scale rigs. I.E. X-Maxx and Kraton/Outcast. I haven't bought one simply because I look at the value proposition. And for 1k all 3 of those are prone to failures they shouldn't be. But by the same token what do you expect for something so big? You can't defy the laws of physics. And to make them reliable you have to spend an insane amount of money. So to me it's not really worth it. But there are people out there who do think it's worth it. And drive them mostly just on grass and dirt. And for those people it works because they can leave it stock.

I think the only reason they’re pricing it at $700 is because the sledge is also 700 and this is arguably a better truck as you get the Cush drive and aluminum center diff housing (it’s not plastic as you stated it is) and a more durable plastic chassis. If I had $700 to blow on one traxxas model I would much prefer this than the sledge. However I do fully expect that sales will slump and it’ll go on sale exactly like the sledge did. Honestly I’m shocked that the raptor R hasn’t been put on sale like that yet. Perhaps the ford license is expensive or it’s just cheap enough they don’t need to worry about moving units since it’s literally just a stretched slash 4x4.

@@DoRC true. I think $800 was just entirely too close to the Xmaxx. Especially for a 6s truck that was way smaller. When it was $800 basically everyone compared it to the Xmaxx just because of price and i think most people just chose to save up a bit more and buy an Xmaxx. We really have to just vote with our wallets. I could see this comfortably sitting at $649 if they don’t move units for a while. That’s where they had the erevo until they cleared them out by going back down to the launch price of $549. The erevo also could’ve played a role because it was always massively cheaper, $150 so for the entirety of the time they coexisted. And they’re basically the same vehicle class.

@jerryvolpini7987 I think it's pretty easy to assume what he's assuming. The slash is the same weight and smaller than the mojave. More expensive and has shit driveshafts in comparison to the mojave. Mojave also has better diffs/gears/electronics. The one pro I would give the slash is the belted tires, what exactly will it do better? you can even put 8s in a mojave and rip it with stock drivetrain and zero problems. I''d be scared to even upgrade the slash electronics with those plastic driveshafts. The mojave is probably one of the most durable rc arrma makes and after over a year of owning it I've only broken a body post. I say this as someone who owns 3 XRTS and consider it to be my favorite basher.

The new center driveshaft part number you are looking for is 10255 on the Maxx Slash - mentioned in the parts list document instead of the exploded view. 8955R is the part on the Maxx. Unfortunately the site doesn't mention length but I would assume its much longer. The new battery hold down in the Maxx slash is actually from the Sledge and has the same part number. The battery hold down on the Maxx V2 is the same style as the Maxx V1 just longer for the new chassis.

For the components used, it's NOT worth it. In essence, this is nothing more than a slightly-extended MAXX, with an LCG chassis, clip less body mount, and larger-scale Slash body. In 'upgrading' the electronics for 6S, they should have, at minimum, "beefed up" the front/center/rear diffs (with machined gears & diff housing), as well as the upper and/or lower bulkheads.

When i look at some rc parts and think about what i paid vs what the actual cost was to probably make it, i get a headache. Another game i like to play is grab a random rc part and go up to someone not in the hobby and ask them how much they think the part cost. Take an rx shock for instance. 1 whole 90mm shock probably cost $5 in materials to make if that. And we're paying upward of $25 a piece!

Good cars!

I would buy in at $500. I figured the price was going to be $700 and when a guy starts thinking about everything out there @ 700$ or less there is a ton of options. Slash's have never been extreme bashers & they aren't speed machines either. Seems like an expensive niche truck to me. Sure is a beast of a truck though.

Yes 500 would be an okay price. But I think it’s because the slash 4x4 ultimate is 550 and if they priced it lower then they would have to make the price of the ultimate lower to

The Mojave definitely is a compelling competition but I'm not sure the UDR really is in the same category. They look kind of similar externally but the UDR is a solid axle scale driving truck that really isn't designed for serious bashing.

That's true but if they can make the max for the same price they are now that means the parts that they're using can't be that much more expensive. The only things that are actual upgrades are the slightly larger chassis the slightly larger body and the 6s power system which altogether probably cost them an extra $10 to make.

I love how so many people are up in arms about the price! 😂 Even DoRC and his obvious sarcasm about whether the cost is reasonable! Fuck yeah, it is! This is a new design, packed with some great features and like any other release, some compromises! Its main competitor, the Mojave 6s is only $70 cheaper (and comparing it against any other kit that is not an SCT, is pointless). So, the question is, does this truck have better performance and handling than the Mojave 6s? Because, IF it does, $70 is one hell of a deal! 👍

@DoRC

5 ай бұрын

Given that the sits right between the 4S and 6s Mojave I think that it's fair to compare them to both. It's only a little bit bigger than the 4S and the 4S is far cheaper and arguably looks better. Will this be a better truck than both of those? I guess we'll have to see.

I tried justifying it to myself using the belted tires but I immediately realized I've never had an issue with my Mojave tires and wished they were belted or considered replacing them with belted before they're worn out. Then I felt like I was buying into the hype and be paying for shiny, flashy things I really don't need. I have a. 4s Mojave and 6s EXB already. Unless this does something that I can't make one of them do for less than $700 I won't be buying one. If it was a 8s XMaxx Slash however I'd have already ordered. First company to build a large scale sct 8s or more basher gets my money. I love my SBR 2.0 but it doesn't love to bash. It identifies as a big UDR.
