Because 90% of your post is useless. the point in this thread is the questionable quality 7075 aluminum used by Arrma. It bents too easily just from normal jumps. Go See this. Arrma Kraton 8S V2 EXB :No bro, my chassis tweaked because I nose dived a sidewalk. If it would have been the xrt or Xmaxx I would have broke more than the chassis I'm sure. Traxxas chassis is cheaper for sure but time is also money and replacing cracked and broken plastic chassis all the time is not something that sounds fun or efficient. My stock chassis lasted me a year and would still be Gucci if I wasn't an idiot. You pay more up front for an m2c chassis but you never have to worry about it again. Funny enough I just nose dived my outcast 8s in the same way again yesterday and m2c chassis straight as an arrow while my motor mount snapped .
You also ignored 90% of my post. No hardcore bashers prefer Traxxas over arrma and there is a reason for that. Show me a youtuber who consistently bash Traxxas stuff hard besides kevin talbot? And even he doesn't really be sending them like duperbash, rcdude and Aldo to name 3 serious bashers who own both brands and prefer to bash harder with arrma because of durability.
I'm not even sure why you posted tbh. It sounds like you already have your mind made up and the opinions of people with actual experience don't matter to you.
I actually forgot to mention thunder rc as well. He was a big Xmaxx fan boy until he got the new outcast rtr. Even he has preferred the outcast now .
Let's not forget to mention the stock electronics either. Xmaxx esc, motor, and servo are garbage and all 3 fail in comparison to arrma 8s electronics by a large margin.
Additional weight and low grade 7075 alum on Armma makes this problem worse and the fact that you upgraded yours just proves my point.
And here is another one from thunder RC
