For me as an absolute Arrma Fan Girl: XMAXX because of the durability. Once the issues on the Outcast (Shock shafts, Arms, Ball Ends, Chassis) are fixed: Outcast. Epic Video Kev, this is what I call a hands down comparison. 😘
Arrma fan too and I agree 100% with these issues... especially the shock shafts, it seems everybody bends these. I don't like the brace design either as the braces are on hinges. NOT a good idea!
HI Kimberly. I have the xmaxx 8s and Outcast 8s. Problems with the O8S =I'm bending shock shafts and breaking shock rod ends (fixed since I went with 30wt oil), rear links thread themselves in when you land on the rear wheels (I left mine like that and used the upper adjustment hole on the rear hub), the wing mount bolts break and the wing mount falls apart after a few bad landings, the bolts on the front where the steering link meets the steering knuckles breaks, the body cracks despite me putting gorilla tape, the front shock tower tries to go through the body (I put foam there), and the driveshafts bend (but not as bad as the Kraton 8s ones!). So yes, I agree that the Xmaxx is more durable because it weighs less. I jump vehicles around 15ft into the air and the xmaxx breaks less when you land wrong. The Kraton 8s is even WORSE because it weighs so much. It bends the driveshafts like a freaking banana. I'm seriously considering selling it for that one reason and just keeping my couple of xmaxx trucks and the Outcast 8s (since it's more durable than the K8S).
After much deliberating and many many hours of research and watching your RUclips channel I finally decided to purchase the Traxxas Xmaxxs 8s yesterday. I have just come back from my first blast with the car and have to say a big thankyou to you Kev. The car is everything you said it was if not more I'm so impressed. Congratulations on the 1million subscribers mate.
You still happy with the XMaxx mate? Any overheating issues with the motor? Heard some people can only run it for 10mins, before they have to turn it off? I'm torn between buying the Xmaxx and the Outcast 🤔
From my 6 yr old boy who is a massive fan - "Can you do a strength test the XMaxx vs. FTX Tracer? Thank you!" The FTX Tracer is his first hobby grade RC car.
Honestly I'm not too hard of a basher, so I really like the handling characteristics of the outcast 8s. I also like the stock electronics on the outcast 8s. The only thing I'd probably upgrade is the shock shafts and the arms.
I definitely think the X-Maxx is more durable. But the look and stance of the Outcast takes it for me. It may break a little more. But that's just part of the hobby.
I've been binge watching your vids and am seriously at risk for saying "oh oh, what happened!" to any event out of the ordinary in my life now. HAHAHAA
I still prefer the 8S arrma range. It is built to scale better and can generally go so much faster around corners... the x maxx is waaaay to clumsy for me...
@@Jimjam86 It's a monster truck. That's how a monster truck acts no? To me the xmaxx is pretty stable with better tires like the duratrax lockups x or 4.3 badlands.
When you can buy an Xmax and not have to upgrade that really says it all, if you have to upgrade everything on the outcast its certainly not the better of the two.
Oh yeah? My esc on the xmaxx didn't last long, (replaced with maxx 6s es), the rear hubs broke very fast (replaced with rpm ones), the body was trashes in no time (even with gorilla tape. Replaced with Russian body), the inner bearings only last a few runs, I break lower control arms frequently, the motor fans break easily (replaced with powerhobby ones), the stock wheels rip apart very quickly (even after taping and venting them. Replaced with Duratrax lockups x 22mm belted tires). The center driveshaft bends after a big jump on concrete. 🤔
@@joseCalderon1976 I was really going off of Kevin's experience and review , im currently driving the kraton exb , with no hard bashing the rear bulkhead has already snapped, the plastic does seem extremely brittle. Replacing it woth the hot racing aluminum, hopefully that fixes the issue.
@@joseCalderon1976 Sorry you had such bad luck with your Xmax, I am mainly a fan of arma and only own one traxxas, and its not a XMax but will probably get one eventually just because it looks like a fun truck to drive.
@@peterhumphries9227 No worries. It's part of the game. I bash hard so it's expected. I only own the Traxxas maxx 4s, xmaxx 8s and trx4 sport from Traxxas. Don't get me wrong, the xmaxx 8s is very durable, but it's got weaknesses. I'm not mad 😁
Personally I believe that the outcast is a bit more realistic and I think it drives better. But the Xmaxx is better overall. And also I know Traxxas better and have had a good experience with them.
Well , I don't own neither of them, but I have a Kraton EXB, which they label extreme bashing. I didn't put it through a lot, some jumping of maybe 15 meters if it's much with backflips, landing on grass. I've got like 12-13 batteries through it now, and to be honest I am not impressed. I mean the car is cool, I like driving it a lot. But durabilty wise for what they call extreme bashing it's a joke. I had the ball joints on the same front axle pop out twice already, two screws bent heavily after a rather small crash on the rear wing, and today was the best: I caught the "Super bash bumper" or however silly they call it on some grass so it was bent backwars a bit. And what happened? The little piece of plastic that connects it to the chassis just broke out. If I want to replace it I need to buy the whole damn front bumper, as that piece of plastic crap is not available as its own spare part. So if you ask me "Arrma tough" is a bad joke. I owned a 2WD traxxas stampede VXL for a year, I already bought it used, and it nearly never failed me. And that so called Extreme Bashing Kraton is breaking on every second or third run, no big things so far (I put LSD's into the rear diff to prevent it from breaking, don't get me started on that topic), but still, I am far from doing extreme stuff with it, and it keeps failing. So for me that was my first and last Arrma, I wanna spent time on the track and not on the workbench paying money for overprized spare parts. I am going to get a tekno MT410, much better worth the money. So without owning the X-MAXX or the Kraton 8S, I would always go for the X-MAXX, it's a tried and true vehicle, while the Kraton 8S is new, and already fails a lot right there in this Video.
Also I don’t know if it’s just because people can’t drive BUT we see FAR MORE. Broken xmaxx’s in our shop than the arrma 8s stuff. And we sell them equally the same
That's weird because most of the time my heavier chassis metal 8s Arrma trucks break MORE often my xmaxx 8s trucks. I'm even selling my K8S because I'm tired of bending the driver shafts and I'm tired of breaking the wing mount 🤔
I went with the X-MAXX! Part of what I enjoy with the hobby is the engineering and mechanics involved. Just look at them side by side and it's apparent all the thought and design by Traxxas to make the X-MAXX the ultimate basher and it's so simple and easy to work on. Arrma just recycles the same basic chassis design for most all their models. Which seems to work fine for on road stuff but not so much for some extreme bashing. I am still seriously considering picking up an Infraction V2 though.
They are overpriced and not durable and they have their own connectors so you have to buy the $100 battery’s and the like $300 chargers. Arrma just uses general battery connectors
Yet another quality vid Kev. Cheers dude I was waiting for you to do this before committing to buying either. So i'm gonna get an Xmaxx. Can't wait for you next vid. Keep up the great work 👌 best rc vids for me
@@mgislao7 yeah it seems most people talking about these are only ever on nice flat surfaces and dont need great handling, causing me quite the struggle trying to find a good rc for the desert, quite a bit different than a skatepark/field, actually needs good rough terrain handling (currently trying to decide between kraton 8s, dbxl, and sbr 2.0)
Just watched your most recent Xmaxx review and this one. Decided to take the plunge and ordered an Orange Maxx for myself. I still have my Nero but parts are in short supply and also have a heavily modified Trophy Truggy, Firestorm and a few banggood specials. I've wanted an Xmaxx since your very first video with one, looking forward to receiving mine in a couple of days. Keep up the good work!
Xmaxx is a living legend,Outcast is the new kid with something to prove. Both are 2 of the funnest rigs you can get. Outcasts love to back flip,might as well start throwing those in when u send it.
If there is anything i hate about arrma vehicles it´s their damn drivetrain/slipperclutch. Thinking about getting a Mini Maxx, how are their drivetrains/cushdrive?
@@DirtyRC101 not sure of them I know I'm the erevo 2.0 and xmaxx I love the drivelines and that cushdrive seems to hold up good ' I beat the crap out of my erevo 2.0 for a while standing back flips and more lol
@@paulcherry1520 Yeah, i looked at how they were built and the only wear/breakage seemed to come from the rubbercushing but i dont really know if people had any other misfortune with it, or if the diffs tend to give instead?. I like the fact that their drivetrain is tucked away compared to my arrma´s...
I don’t even own a R/c but wow this guy is talented with the controls! I’ve been wanting to get in R/C truck. Dont think ill go $1000 at first but something decent. Im a automotive mechanic for employment so love to fix and modify. Figure this would be a cheaper hobby than actual cars🤣.
@@joseCalderon1976 how long have you owned an Xmaxx? I'm going to get a Xmaxx this summer to bash, don't know if I will like it but it's a must have being that it sits on top of the RC rtr 4x4 truck pile. I must buy one to find out for myself. Can this thing be ran on 6s Batts?
Bro when you unbox new toys please tell their running time & charging time too,u used to tell them in the old videos ,plz do that again it really helps ,plz
It depends what battery size the rc car recommends but you should get 10 to 15 minutes depending on how you run it. And change time with a hobbys grade changer can take 45 minutes to one hour.
One of your embarrassing comments made it onto VoiceOfThunder's videos lol You might wanna fact check what you claim before posting mate as he has made you look like a right prat🤣
Great video Kevin as always but yeah...X-Maxx is my favorite RC. Although I like flying RC planes, I think I like flying my X-Maxx even more lol!!!! I'm loving the new orange X-Maxx you got btw! I have the green 8S from 2018 with Monster Energy stickers and it looks niiiiiiiiice too!
Last week, I finally got a lightly-used 8s X-Maxx, and so now I'm having fun watching some of these older videos. So far, my only wish for the X-Maxx would be some scale-body options, to make it look like a third-scale quad, quarter-scale jeep, etc. I also recently bought an ARRMA Fireteam, and I Iove the scale look of it. I think the X-Maxx deserves the same treatment, and if Traxxas sold such scale bodies, I'd probably buy them all.
Which one do you like?

Get the gorgon our granite
WOW EPIC VIDEO!!! I am sure that the Xmaxx is the best r/c car and then the arrma outcast XD!!!
I'd love an xmaxx or an outcast, but I dont have 900 bucks 😅
I have 3 Xmaxx trucks and one Outcast 8s. Oh yeah, two of the xmaxx trucks havd big block electronics and the Outcast 8s too 😂👍.
$1300 after truck and batts
@@surfside75 They put a big smile on my face when I take these monsters out to play.
@@joseCalderon1976 how long have you owned an Xmaxx?
I'm going to get a Xmaxx this summer to bash, don't know if I will like it but it's a must have being that it sits on top of the RC rtr 4x4 truck pile. I must buy one to find out for myself. Can this thing be ran on 6s Batts?
Both rigs r awesome broski!
Only try fans know that video used to be named "x maxx vs outcast"
notification gang!!!
Yup
Yep I was just about to say that
Xmaxx vs notorious wasn't it?
I know they are the same thing*
Just got a used Maxx , can’t wait to get a XMaxx !
Well Kevin i think you've finally talked me into getting the xmaxx. Here we go.. (sound of empty account)-$-$-$
Haha Ive bought an xmaxx and now a Kraton EXB because of Kev 🤣🤣💲💲💲💲
Because of you I got my xmaxx 8s today and a erevo 2.0 last week. I am definitely going to be enjoying theses. Thanks for the honest reviews.
I feel brotatochip that ya might of abused the arrma a little more lmao
Congratulations 1 million!
I like how arma makes the clips on the body I have a rustler and I lose clips sometimes
yes i love them too!
I buy the arrma clips and drill a little hole and put those on my other rc cars now!
@@briandavis213 yeah I also do that, they're just $5
X-Maxx is hands down sexier...ty for the Awesome Vids Mr. Tumble Wumble
I go for the Xmaxx, it’s just quicker to do things on it and it is a really good basher!
I like both but the outcast is definitely quicker top end
Great driving Kevin!
Cheers from San Francisco.

am I the only one that noticed that it sounds like a lambo
yes
Courtney Kawamoto not being me but it’s dine
It does 👌🏻👌🏻
Bought that exact x maxx cause of you freaking love it x maxx forever
I would love to see Kev's impressions of the Losi DB XL-E 2.0
Yeah me too but I don’t think it’s trashy enough for him... Losi may be a little too high class for our boy
@@theLyzhendricks 🤣
always very honest and constructive observations and opinions 👍👍
8:23 that stance matched the music so well.
You are the best RUclipsr ever😁😀
When is the slash coming out?
True and udr what about the x-o1
I like the X-Maxx👍👍👍
5:23 how bmw drivers park
😂
Awesome recording with the outcast
Bro when you unbox new toys please tell their running time & charging time too,u used to tell them in the old videos ,plz do that again it really helps ,plz
Its difficult cos i rarely run an RC from star to finnish in 1 go
@@KevinTalbotTV 😂
@@KevinTalbotTV ok
It depends what battery size the rc car recommends but you should get 10 to 15 minutes depending on how you run it. And change time with a hobbys grade changer can take 45 minutes to one hour.
I like ARMMA OUTCAST
Imagine Kevin like this comment
And now it's a reality
Didn’t expect that thanks for the like
XMAXX!!! Or like Kev says, whatever puts a smile on your face.
One of your embarrassing comments made it onto VoiceOfThunder's videos lol
You might wanna fact check what you claim before posting mate as he has made you look like a right prat🤣

@@KevinTalbotTV I think i'll believe the actual data numbers over what the dailymail say's mate lol
Also might help if you read the whole page.
Great video Kevin as always but yeah...X-Maxx is my favorite RC. Although I like flying RC planes, I think I like flying my X-Maxx even more lol!!!! I'm loving the new orange X-Maxx you got btw! I have the green 8S from 2018 with Monster Energy stickers and it looks niiiiiiiiice too!
Yessssss!!!! FINALLY!!!
Xmaxx any day! When it comes to mudding Xmaxx is the king 😀
I think I've decided on the Xmaxx, thank you for the video Mr. talbot. I love our Hoss, but I gotta finally get the XMAXX
Nice battle! and nice move! 👍
Yesssss just what I've been waiting for great job kevin
X maxx for the win!!
That’s the coolest R/C park ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last week, I finally got a lightly-used 8s X-Maxx, and so now I'm having fun watching some of these older videos. So far, my only wish for the X-Maxx would be some scale-body options, to make it look like a third-scale quad, quarter-scale jeep, etc. I also recently bought an ARRMA Fireteam, and I Iove the scale look of it. I think the X-Maxx deserves the same treatment, and if Traxxas sold such scale bodies, I'd probably buy them all.
Yes Arrma definitely has better scale body shells but the clipless Traxxas shells have me hooked!
There are many custom bodies for the Xmaxx out there or you can paint a clear one.
X Maxx is designed like a real monster truck. It's a non sense for handling but amazing to have fun with it.
The outcast looks more realistic but the x max looks more like something you see at Monster jam.
XMAXX all day long brother 👍😎
Should have gone to the BMX track Kev... That place seems to be a real RC killer. Great for durability testing
