I feel the same way about the place in terms of the use-case for the XRT over the XMAXX. Low slung, great handling, speed and big. Everything I wanted, as I'm also not a crazy basher. I also couldn't get 50 out of the box, not that I felt it was slow at this size.

Great video. I believe traxxas made the bumper mount a weak point on purpose. It's cheap and easy to replace. More rigid components can sometimes transfer too much stress to other components.

This is a fun video to watch. When it was on the BMX track it was right at home. To see it jump and land so well is quite impressive. One of coolest things was the on board shot when you were doing the speed runs. You could see how the tires distorted. Keep up the good work.

I like watching kevs videos as it demonstrates how durable stuff is. When i was a kid i had a tamiya madcap and lunch box but one sniff of a jump and they'd be smashed to pieces. Secondary school i had a schumacher club storm that was amazing compared to the tamiyas but folded a chassis full speed into a bollard. Bought a savage 4.6 later on but nitro is so noisy always gets attention. Todays rc's are mad the amount of abuse kev gives his xmaxxes is amazing at what they can do but not keen on the rolie polie of the xmaxx and have been looking at Kratons but i don't like how the motors mounted and possble egging so instead i sweated and bought the XRT and tried not to think about it lol Best of both worlds.

Fantastic video, probably in the top five of the best you have ever made. It was through you that I bought my first premium RC when you were filming a Senton on the same track, this sold it for me and I have been thrilled with it, this cost four times as much as the previous kit I used to buy. Again, through you, I nearly gave up with the hobby as those less expensive models did nothing for me, they were barely “hobby grade” and I found them dull as ditch water and unexciting. I took time out and returned and bought the Senton, there are others I have bought through your recommendation (can’t remember which at this time) and my collection has grown somewhat! Regarding spending lots of loot on so called “big boy toys”, at the end of the day you pay for what you get, companies need to make profits. I have a few Traxxas including the Xmaxx which I adore (bought through “Beyond RC” recommendation), it never fails to make me beam a smile nor does it fail to attract an audience but that might be down to my rubbish driving, how you manage to drive one handed is amazing, I can only manage walking and talking at the same time. Keep the videos rolling, a fantastic and entertaining channel.

Xmaxx meets revo. I'd totally get one of these if I didn't already have 2 xmaxx and a dbxl-e. Every rc I own needs help right out of the box, and I only bash hard on the ones that are easier to fix.

A new rc car, nice and clean, i hate that the get so dirty and smashed after only a few runs

I like an rc that challenges you to keep it in control and upright, I don’t feel as though the XRT offers those challenges like the Xmaxx does

I believe if you put the little holes in tyres to clear dirt. When at full throttle tyres will be more rounded shape making less of sharp triangle shape. This will in turn create larger grip area to road and more traction. Which should increase speed a bit.

traxxas tough my xmaxx and xrt are my favourite rc at the moment even tho its plastic its built tough and cheap to replace will keep them both relatively stock with better esc and servo upgrade and better pinion and spur gears

I would increase the infill on the TPU printed part
