@@57F100 yes, thats what im sayin. But i think the best rtr rc cars would be the 4 traxxas rc's, the rustler, bigfoot, slash, and bandit. But they would all have to be the brushed versions. But there still probably some of the best rc's out there

Wow I'm so glad they included a nitro on the list for the nitrogang! That is epic.

Great as usual, always looking forward to the next new video.

The Arrma 3s series is incredible. I bought a big rock a month ago and have beaten the crap out of it, only have damaged a spring perch which was an easy fix. Today I went and bought the Senton 3s and it is also a ton of fun on an almost identical platform. The Arrma 3s platform is so easy to work on, you can get the whole truck down to a full service level in about 15-20 minutes (with hand tools). They both jump well, are incredibly fast, look amazing, and are insanely capable little trucks. 369 each at my hobby shop.

Nice variety! Way to hit all the marks with this one. 🤘🏻

That video was very informative and I found it easy to enjoy.

Thanks for the awesome videos! 👌 I like the $400. cutoff. It's a much more accessible option for some awesome rc's. I got a Bigrock a few months ago. It possibly has the most durable body on the market!

Brett as always solid Topics.💪🏾

Always like to watch your stuff Brett! Keep up the fine work.

Brett ur a legend bro

Love my typhon 3s done few things but she is very durable still all the stock arms etc she's a tank an very fun. Just recently made her 4s an ooh bb. Next is going to be a k6s exb then after is either limitless or xmaxx. Bash on ^^

Just bought the Granite blx. Hopefully its as good as it seems to be.

The Arrma BRCC V2 is one of the best out there IMO. It's the only one in my fleet to last this long without breaking something. Still going strong and I've been pretty darn hard on it too. Great video and some very good looking models coming out.

Theyre ok for the price, but I regret not just having gotten a Maxx. Ive had to replace the driveshafts (one broke, figured the rest would too) & spur gear (factory plastic one stripped), as well as locktite the wheel hubs after they kept falling off. Spent $90 on 4 HD driveshafts & another $40 on a metal spur gear. The motor mount & mesh system are its biggest downfall, making it annoying to work on.

Just get an HPI Vorza Flux. Does 60mph+ stock. Runs 6S. You can still get them new or a nice used one for around $400. Amazing value because they also hold their value very well bc the people that know about them, love them.. Its an 1/8th scale 4wd buggy with a 4mm thick aluminum chassis. Metal D-Shafts. 6S capable. Castle Creations ESC & Castle 2200Kv motor for stock electronics. Mamba Monster 6S system with an HPi sticker on it. Still has the castle logo and works with my USB Castle Link Setup Cable & Program. Has everything a serious 4WD buggy or truck needs.. Fr/Cntr/Rear Metal silicone fluid filled Diff’s. Sway bars. Metal threaded big bore shocks. Super fast (63+mph rated). Super Durable. Parts are super cheap on eBay and it also uses any of the Hop-Up parts from the Hot Bodies HB8 buggy because it’s basically an electric version of it. I’ve had mine for like 4 years now and its literally indestructible. Its wayy above Traxxas quality. Easy to work on. All quality Hex screws. Just very well made and easy to upgrade or just leave it stock. Mine is stock except for aluminum hubs and steering servo/arm. I mostly run it on 4S because you just don’t need anything more than that and it stays super cool. I can ride in sand or loose dirt WOT for an hour and not even get the motor hot and i don’t even run a motor fan bc you don’t need it on 4S, offroad bashing. For 6S or for speed runs then yeah id probably throw a fan on it to be safe. It has the mounting bracket for it already on factory motor mount. Which i also like the design of that. Super simple. Ive ran it on 6S and it gets super fast but to me it only seems useful if you put some street tires on it and ride on the street then.

Hello. My name is Richard. I am new to rc's, and i need your opinion, if you will. I have a FMS 1974 K 10 square body that i would like to update, if possible. Now it only seems to me that anything from FMS that is up grade able can be used in my truck, provided it is the same scale, right? I am not mechanically inclined by no means, but i am willing, and trying to work on these vehicles. Although it doesn't help that i have familia tremors, ( i shake alot ). My question is, can i replace any electrical parts under the hood? Such as motor, tranny, esc, ect. I just became a subscriber, and i hope i can learn from watching your channel, along with Lyle, from RC Atheletes, and Aaron from RC Sparks Adventures, and Studios. If i may from time to time, ask you questions to help me learn, i would greatly appreiciarely it. Thank you.

#1 lc racing!

Is it possible for you to do an episode on rear wings and how much they influence on a rc car's handling. I'm thinking not much at all...especially on racetracks because most only seem to have only one or two fast bends and a lot of hairpin turns which rely on mechanical grip.

I have both the Big Rock and the Granite, and I do prefer the Big Rock more, however it needs better tires. The factory tires are just too narrow and causes it to tip over more than the Granite. Fixed it by getting another set of Granite wheels and tires and mounted on the Big Rock.

Hi Brett! Really like the way you compare the RC models. I am getting back to RC world and I was always flying RC planes. Now thinking of a proper RC car. Had TRAXXAS RUSTLER 4X4 VXL on the first place and ready to buy. Shop in my area only sells Traxxas and it seems they have all you want and need. But… watching YT videos and seeing prices in Europe I could get ARRMA 1/8 Kraton 6S V5 BLX for the same price but I think that is an overkill. So, now on table a bit cheaper I am thinking either ARRMA 1/10 Big Rock Crew Cab 4x4 3S BLX Brushless or ARRMA 1/10 GRANITE 4x4 3S BLX Brushless. What do you suggest? Or anyone with experience.

The 3S BLX cars are great! The driveshafts are a weak point but the cars are powerful, lightweight and can bash! I personally have a Big Rock and the servo died first run and I've gone through many rear driveshafts, so keep spares or get upgraded metal driveshafts. No regrets though. Getting Arrma parts can be an issue, so I always recommend to buy extras, keep them in the package, and return what you don't use down the road.
