Arrma vs Traxxas and why?

Arrma vs Traxxas and why? Which one do you like better?

 

[Matt05]

I think everyone on Arrmaforum.com is going to be surprised to find the majority of people here on ARRMAforum.com like Traxxas rigs better.

 

[CrashBoom]

That's a loaded question I'm not sure there's a single answer for. Probably easier to compare similar models or lineups individually. Like, I think the Traxxas 8S stuff is superior to Arrma, but <= 6S I'd go Arrma all day.

that’s laughable. So your saying people like working on cheap vacuum cleans over RC rigs? I’d own a redcat before I’d own a traxxas!! I was a traxxas fanboy from 2006 to 2010 so save the BS. Traxxas finally got smart and started coping Arrma rigs.

I think this is where I'm at too. Arrma 6s line is awesome and traxxas 8s line is good too. Even though the Traxxaas XRT is my favorite rig to drive out of all of my rigs there are some very very annoying things I'm having to get used to with this being my first traxxas and it makes me appreciate some of arrma design decisions a bit more.

I think they’re both great. I’ve owned 4 Traxxas rigs. They’ve found what works for them, which is the very beginner oriented, intro to rc. Cheap to fix if it breaks, but a steep beginning cost. Some of that cost is the part support. The plastics can take a beating, but with the right metal, metal is superior. If you get an arrma rig and jump a lot, plan on upgrading your chassis. If you get a trx rig, plan on a few more bulkheads snapping. There’s pros and cons to both, but arrmas got some awesome stuff going, the 6s line is HOT! 6s seems to be the arrma all the way, but 3s the hoss and other trx rigs are really good. 8s go Traxxas imo. I don’t have a ton of experience but this is what I’ve learned from lots of research. We all differ in opinions, looking forward to hearing yours!
Oh did I mention trx cars brand new are way crazy priced

And popcorn?

Well obviously Traxxas has way better Crawlers!

Precisely why I'm on the traxxas forum, cuz I love Aarma! Honestly the only reason I never owned a traxxas is because I've always had a hard time spelling it.

Haven't we had this convo like 200 times on this forum??

Yes, I am completely positive that the majority of people here on ARRMAFORUM.com prefer Traxxas rigs. I would be willing to bet money on it. Dollars to donuts, the guys on ARRMAFORUM like Traxxas rigs the best.

I'm just tired that nobody ever adds New Bright in when asking this question

Who cares which is better? Buy one or the other, or both and just enjoy life.

Most people do like traxxas rigs here. Even if they don't own any, yet... I like traxxas rigs. I want my next basher to be an x-maxx.

Facts.

You are an arrma fanboy (sounds laughable coming from me with my username...). Also, you weren't a traxxas fanboy when they made the best 8s rc car. You were a fan before they got better.

Need I say more?

 

[Matt05]

Sooner or later everyone will come out of the closet and admit they are Traxxas lovers. I bet the guys on TEKNOforum are also a bunch of Traxxas lovers too.

true, I was die hard Traxxas guy before I found Arrma!!! I had a K8 exb for 2 years never liked it so I sold it. The 6S line is the best in the RC market. I have driven the sledge and TRX they are WAY different machines then the old Nitro Revo's we had back in the day. I just don't like all the plastic and weird engineering/layout of the traxxas rig that they do.

NO WAY!! I've been on that forum for years and there not traxxas fans. I'm sure there's some but not the majority
