He was pretty critical of the xmaxx in one of his videos.though. I do recall one vid, not sure what TRX rig it was, where he was a bit critical of it.
I agree, at least TRX did give us bigger balls. Arrma still dealing with SBS, small balls syndrome!!
Agree, I really appreciated the redesign of the TRX hubs, larger inner BB's, the XRT hubs are quite stout looking. The Arrma 6S rear hubs in particular really bug me, since the slits for the dog bone go into the hub the space between the bearings is a magnet for dust/dirt/sand. It needs a redesign. IMO bigger inner bearings, seal up any ingress points between the BB's on the hub. I have seen posts all over this forum recommending improvement on that for years.I agree, at least TRX did give us bigger balls. Arrma still dealing with SBS, small balls syndrome!!
I have to say, my 2 year old Xmaxx is tighter at the hubs and suspension pivots than my brand new K8S that hasn't even run a pack to LVC yet. For me, this isn't Arrma vs TRX, or anybody else. I own and enjoy both. Just sticker shocked by this ultimate edition Xmaxx. Nothing's been detracted from how much I like the Xmaxx. Or the K8S for that matter.
I can respect your opinion. I really can't call any of the TRX's a piece, often overpriced, sometimes under built, but they have all put smiles on my face.You can polish a turd all you want, but in the end it's still gonna be a piece of $hit...
Maybe I'm wrong. I have never met him. I have gotten useful knowledge from his content, credit due there..Agree, I really appreciated the redesign of the TRX hubs, larger inner BB's, the XRT hubs are quite stout looking.

When Mark came on to the YouTube scene I thought it was nice to have different perspective, I like his videos. Seems like a pretty down to earth guy to me?
What radio does it come with? TSM or AVC included?
I do recall the Sludge hitting the market without replacement parts available. I mean actual parts, not just rainbow assorted anodized bits.
Not only shipping out cars with bad escs but also expecting the customer to pay to fix it.Yes, Traxxas is definitely the company that’s slipping. Meanwhile Horizon is shipping rigs with bad esc programming, selling models that they can’t get replacement parts for, bodies that crack at the seams after light use, double sometimes triple charging people for things they ordered. But this, this release is proof that Traxxas is the company that’s slipping and bad for all enthusiasts.
IKR? Which I did indeed laugh at RC Driver vid when he lawn darted it.Imagine paying $1500 for a monster truck that can’t even backflip off a 5’ man-made jump out of the box
Yeah, I know I pointed at TRX, but truth is HH is every bit as guilty. Maybe more..I've never really cared for any of the large scale electric vehicles.
All the rc manufacturers do that. Arrma is pretty bad about it too, take the TLR Typhon as an example it took almost a year for Arrma to have parts available for it, literally only the chop shops had the parts for it for the longest time. 3s Typhon no a arms available for nearly 4 months again only the chop shops had them. Hpi Racing last I checked the chassis for the S truggy was still only available from 1 chop shop on eBay and that has been out for a year and a half now........

FWIW, I think the regular Xmaxx is a great truck. I've heard nothing but good things about it's durability. I almost even considered purchasing a roller and doing a custom build at one time. If anything Traxxas maybe could have upgraded the electronics & put a wide maxx kit on it, but the rest of the truck was already pretty darn good.I just noticed..the Xmaxx ultimate doesn't include HD arms? Wow, how can it have ultimate durability without? I admit, I have yet to break a standard arm on mine, but $1500 still can't buy them?
It is, and so is the 4s Maxx. They defy my belief of how strong plastic can be. No arguments from me. I just hate the misleading statements they make, Ultimate, no upgrades needed..truth be told, I think TRX has the best engineering of any RC brand.FWIW, I think the regular Xmaxx is a great truck.

Truth be told, i'd just pay off my debts so I don't incur 3 feloniesTruth be told, I'd buy a base XRT and 4s Kraton over 3 Felonies. My bro has a 6s Felony..meh, road cars don't do it for me.
A wiser man than I you are!! I never even think about that once I see cash (or credit) available..Truth be told, i'd just pay off my debts so I don't incur 3 felonies
