Im so glad i'm not the only one here.. my rustler 4x4 has been a pain since i got it, shafts just not holding up, hubs breaking quite often, arms too. I wanted to get a typhon soon and sell my rustler, definitly doing it now lol.
I feel you man I don’t know what the problem has been but that car has been nothing but a thorn in my side since the day I bought it. Everything breaks all the time!!!
@@BarstoneRC yup.. traxxas failed on this one, sad they couldnt live up to their own name / the old Rustler 2wd, which i have too and is a tank to this day, no breaks at all. And trust me, i don't even bash as hard as you do here, still everything breaks on me😂🤦♂️
Kevin Yeah there was definitely some design flaws I think. My Traxxas slash has been a pretty decent truck so far but it makes me hesitant to buy any more Traxxas.
@@BarstoneRC exactly! Thats why i went for the rustler too, i saw some hardcore bashing of the slash, and this being shorter aswell i just thought it would be a tank! And this probably is my last traxxas, its just so expensive, its crazy Arrma Outcast/Kraton 4S is (in my country) €430 Rustler 4x4 is €430 too The arrma's can run 4s! The Arrma Typhon 3s is around 360 here, a Rustler 2wd VXL is like 340! So for like 20 bucks more you get am 8th scale car that is 4x4! Traxxas has gotten really expensive..
I have been very happy with my tight end the thing has been a tank and held up very well. I would recommend that car any day of the week. I just had the slash at the track a few days ago and made a video and the truck just took a punishment I was very surprised with it.
@@BarstoneRC Will it backflip with those tires? I know with the 2.8’s it’s no problem, but I don’t like the way the car handles with them. So I want to go with the Badlands buggy tires instead.
Yeah I’m sure there’s going to be the people that love Traxxas will say it’s unfair or something LOL but no matter what I did that rustler just didn’t want to fly as nice as the Typhon. That rustler is the worst car I have by far. My Traxxas slash I really like it runs nice it jumps nice but the rustler not so much.
Bars&tone RC I thought the traxxas would be as hard as nails , but it’s not , I’m almost sure my typhon stronger I’ve had bigger crashes in typhon and nothing the max is just over a month old and I have a parts bad which is massive I don’t hardly have any typhon , people will experience different things .
Yeah it seems different cars have different common problems I think the rustler is just not my car LOL. But I also did a video comparing the Senton and the slash will be next
Great Bashing! For my next car I was thinking of getting a Rustler 4x4 or a Typhon 3S. This video definitely give me some pause on the Rustler 4x4. Every video I have seen of the Typhon it performs well.
How do you like that typhon?? I have always had Traxxas cars but the Typhon 6s has me tempted. I just don't know how Arrma is in durability and aftermarket support.
I’ve had both brands and a lot of different cars and overall I’m very happy with Arrma and their support and their cars they’re very tough fast and parts are easy to get
I do use my rustler 4x4 vxl to race on the and speed runs on the street due to that reason, the typhon 3s can take everything like a champ and run on the street.
the rpm arms for the typhon always break in that same spot.. i have handfuls of them broken exactly the same.. there is something going on with either the way they are manufactured or designed.. but i think you will find you end up with a pile of them broke in the same spot.. they do last way way londer than the stock ones.. and they last even longer if you boil them right out of the package.. 12 mins in boiling water...👍😎
In all fairness...isn't the typhoon a buggy and the rustler a truggy. I think the bandit is the one you should be comparing to the typhoon? The Rustler is twice the weight of the typhoon so it doesnt sail in the air like the typhoon. As for the senton it doesn't behave like a sct as much as the slash. Its fast but uncontrollable and its hard to race because it spins out alot. Its better at bashing and the slash is better at racing.
I agree the slash jumps nicer and flies in the air better but between the rustler and Typhon I don’t know the Typhon just seems to handle and jump a lot better.
I agree that the senton is the better basher over the slash by a margin. AND the slash is the better track racer. But after I got used to how my senton handles I've had some really good results against slash drivers at the track. I'm not saying I'm slaying them. But it's about 50/50 win/loss for me against the slash drivers now. But admittedly, it took lots of practice and 100s of laps worth of cuss words and screaming. But, with how ruthless the senton's natural speed and torque is, when you can manage to control it, she can really rip around the track and hold her own. Of course if I bought my sct specifically just for racing, I would have gone with the slash, but since I like to bash around alot, I had to go senton and just put in alot of time and practice to race it with positive results.
Typhon sick. Idk whats up with ur rustler. I take mine to a dirtbike track. Backflips, frontflips crazy air. My bodys never came off an only thing i broke in 2 months of bashin was a rear hub. Idk lol.
Yeah I have had a lot of problems with my four-wheel-drive rustler ever since the day I bought it. Not sure what the problem is? But my Traxxas slash has been a pretty good truck and very happy with it.
It is very disappointing, the thing just breaks all the time and so easily on the stupidest things, and it handles like garbage I don’t know what the things problem is
Are you meaning the rustler didn’t have a kicker at the top of the jump? I hit it a few different times, stuff that wasn’t even on video I just couldn’t get it to keep the front end up I’m not sure if it’s the tires I have on there now or what.
What arrma rc doesn't fly well? None!!! They just float!!! Great jumping!!!Just broke both rpm front arms on my outcasts 4s,the took 9 months and lots of abuse!Arrma 👍👍👍💯 Traxxass👎👎👎💩👀 Texass business men! And no customer service 🤬💩 Sorry they are the bullies of the rc world!!!💯
I hear you man, I’ve had far better luck with Arrma by far. The only Traxxas I own now is an XMAXX and I just recently got that to try hopefully it holds together for me.
@@BarstoneRC from what we've seen on utube channels. Same as all RC's, they all need upgrades! Just how many and how soon! Or keep jumps to under 20ft in height. Yea,not.and consumer service the end all to end all!!!👀 Over the years traxxas has left a bad taste in my mouth! And I never owned one?
I’ve had the same issue with the UDR and E Revo 2.0. Problem after problem. The Rustler we’ve had extremely good luck though. But the Kraton... damn! That thing just loves abuse! Great video!👍
Yeah it’s really strange my Traxxas slash 4 x 4 is an awesome truck but my rustler I have endless problems with it..seems. I was having issues with my clutch on the Kraton but I got that sorted out and the truck has been running awesome now!!
Cool. Can't believe that Typhon is supposed to be 1/8 scale. Doesn't look much bigger then the other cars.
Yeah, there’s not a lot of size difference at all
After watching many of these types of vids I’m getting a typhon. They just seem to work. Thanks for the video.
I appreciate that and thanks for watching bud.

What tires do you have on the Typhon?
I’m running the pro line MX tires on it now
@@BarstoneRC Nice!
@@BarstoneRC Will it backflip with those tires? I know with the 2.8’s it’s no problem, but I don’t like the way the car handles with them. So I want to go with the Badlands buggy tires instead.
Yeah you can with the right jump in air time obviously.
@@BarstoneRC Great thanks!
Thanks for the review
Thanks for watching bud
Great video mate ,
That review was really good to show you all what they can do , it will give people a good idea in comparison 💪🏽🇺🇸👍🏽

I have the 17 mm hex conversion on my Rustler. Can i use the typhon 6s wheels like the katar model? The overall size seem similar !? Nice video btw!
I wouldn’t see why not!
The stock shock cap suck the whole suspension sucks do more weight inside shock or upgrade the shocks
Great Bashing! For my next car I was thinking of getting a Rustler 4x4 or a Typhon 3S. This video definitely give me some pause on the Rustler 4x4. Every video I have seen of the Typhon it performs well.
Honestly the Typhon is an awesome car it’s tough it performs great it handles great it jumps very Nice it’s an all-around great car.
Just ordered my typhon 3s seems to do very well .
It’s a great car.
I put my jato shocks on it gtr shocks
How do you like that typhon?? I have always had Traxxas cars but the Typhon 6s has me tempted. I just don't know how Arrma is in durability and aftermarket support.
Parts are great easy to get their cheap and customer service and warranty is really good with Arrma.
@@BarstoneRC Thanks for the reply. I think I'm going to order it now.
I’ve had both brands and a lot of different cars and overall I’m very happy with Arrma and their support and their cars they’re very tough fast and parts are easy to get
6:05
Broke after 3 minutes of using it
You mean wrecking it
Arrma wins
Yeah they do!
I do use my rustler 4x4 vxl to race on the and speed runs on the street due to that reason, the typhon 3s can take everything like a champ and run on the street.
A lot of race builds have small design flaws stock upgrade it especially shocks first to go
the rpm arms for the typhon always break in that same spot.. i have handfuls of them broken exactly the same.. there is something going on with either the way they are manufactured or designed.. but i think you will find you end up with a pile of them broke in the same spot.. they do last way way londer than the stock ones.. and they last even longer if you boil them right out of the package.. 12 mins in boiling water...👍😎
Yeah that’s the second one I broke like that. So it must be a common thing. But I have to try that boiling technique I’ve never done it yet
@@BarstoneRC mmmmmm rpm soup...🍻🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahaha
So the rustler is to the Slash what the Typhon is to the Senton??? Same platform different tires?
The slash has a slightly longer wheelbase but they do handle very similarly.

Yeah it definitely does the car has always driven and jumped so nicely and has held up really well overtime
👍love the Typhon👍
Are you in Butler PA.?
I am you local?
Typhon sick. Idk whats up with ur rustler. I take mine to a dirtbike track. Backflips, frontflips crazy air. My bodys never came off an only thing i broke in 2 months of bashin was a rear hub. Idk lol.
Yeah sometimes some cars just are lemons I think every brand has them occasionally
Keep yall cars away from the maxx my brother rustler broke in half
Yeah I broke my rustler and half a few times. But I am thinking about getting a max, I have the XMAXX now and I’m having a lot of fun with it.
4wd I'd stick with typhon. I like the 2wd vxl rustler though, not the 4x4...
Yeah I have had a lot of problems with my four-wheel-drive rustler ever since the day I bought it. Not sure what the problem is? But my Traxxas slash has been a pretty good truck and very happy with it.
Rustler is a massive dissapointment like mine was put some backflip lps on it with 17mm hex adapators
It is very disappointing, the thing just breaks all the time and so easily on the stupidest things, and it handles like garbage I don’t know what the things problem is
@1:50 he hits the lip
@5:55 he hits the flat part
Always operator error

Awsomme bashing dude and some great air time. breaks always happen when you have fun dudes
Thanks! Yeah it’s always a great time out there having fun and bashing the cars.
What arrma rc doesn't fly well? None!!! They just float!!! Great jumping!!!Just broke both rpm front arms on my outcasts 4s,the took 9 months and lots of abuse!Arrma 👍👍👍💯
