A few months ago I put up a poll if I should get a new Traxxas HOSS or a new Arrma Big Rock for the channel. The Arrma won by a landslide, so here it is! I think it was the right choice. First Run starts at 5:38. Hundreds less and just as fun. Faster and more stable, but it won't ollie. haha. Get an ARRMA RC or RC Parts - amzn.to/2U390XD

I just got back into Rcing after a 20 year break. I used to run only nitro and my 2 favorites were the original T-max .15 and the Revo which I bought right when it was released. Unfortunately/Fortunately my career started and I only got to play with my Revo for a few months. I was bored about 2 months ago and on amazon (bad idea). I saw an offbrand electric buggy boasting of 50+mph speeds for only $130 so I bought it and I am hooked again. The buggy is insanely fast and especially for the price. At that point, I wanted a new truck to bash and jump with. I was looking through the Traxxas lineup and saw the new E-Revo 2.0 VXL and fell in love. When I got the truck, I was expecting something the size of my original T-max/Revo since they are all 1/10th scale. I was not expecting a 1/8th scale truck. The thing is absolutely amazing to drive but is to big for out front of my house which is what I really wanted it for. So now I am looking for something around the size of the original t-max/revo. I love the look of this truck and it seems to be built well. Since pictures can be misleading, is this truck more comparable size wise to the older 1/10th scale trucks?

My mesh was super tight and rear shocks were installed facing the wrong way. I love my first Arrma coming from 5 Redcats. I brought this mainly because its a $300 range RC that can go 50+mph while some Arrmas need 6S to get to 50+. I went at least 65mph on 6S and never made it to max throttle. Enjoy and thanks for sharing.👍😁

Wanted to give a big rock heads up . We were running in cold my son hit a curb head on. Broke chassis at the gear box a crack but battery plastic front stop sheared out of body weak spot broke front battery strap we believe the battery shifting out helped front crack. Fix Velcro on body stick to chassis other on battery locked in solid with out front battery stop till new chassis comes in . We did this for the rest of our rc also you can pick up car shake it when holding battery 5 pound Velcro. Hope it helps bash on.

Hey man love the info...I'm getting my big rock this Thursday and I'm excited. Here learning from u...also the song u played at the drive scene could you plz tell me where I can find it? Thanks

I'm about to get one of these...is putting a lil weight in the front to keep the nose down a thing?? .I see everyone pops wheelies really easy

And next couple weeks I'm picking one up for my 14 year old. We will now have a outcast 4s, Granite v3my 9 year olds soon to have max 10 3200kv. I'll order some avid bearings to replace the bad stock motor bearings.

The Arrma 4s series is not as durable as the 3s and 6s series. That means I'd actually prefer a 3s granite over a 4s kraton. Oh and in terms of granite vs big rock - the granite is great at pulling wheelies and stunts in the air while the Big Rock crew cab is a little bit more stable (less wheelies) because it has a longer chassis

@PopExpo

3 жыл бұрын

I'd wait for the 4s so you can at lease compare all the revisions to thier product line before you buy. The big rock is a cool platform. But it does have some weak points and those weak points can turn into problems( at lease for me they did). However, with a few upgrades it can easily become a beast.

What is the best rc out there right now ???

These are the strongest versions of 3S Arrma makes. They are stronger than the equivalent traxxas design. Ive used both quite a bit. Each has a weak point in the slipper, but you might never find it. I have confidence in the big rock design. It’s based off the 4S heavy duty slipper and gears and diffs.

The HOSS would need another ESC to support 4S. The BigRock would need an ESC and a Motor to support 4S. It's not worth it.. 4S is going to need a lower KV motor and a 1/8 scale ESC.. so you don't gain speed just more torque.

Better to just put a high mAh high C 3S in it. A 4S need a heavier, more powerful motor and ESC and the truck is not designed for it. It is VERY fast out of the box, not sure why you want 4S. If you want a speed runner pick up an Infraction or a Felony.
