@@cherandissanayake9530 I have a Traxxas Rustler and I really enjoy it. So far neither Trucks have had any problems at all and I have them both for 2 years(give or take) and there have been no Breakages or other problems they have been my most durable RC's Thanks!
Pre ordered a purple Vorteks yesterday here in the UK, i'm told by the UK distributor that Europe release date for the Vorteks is April 30th & trucks will be then shipped out to stores on that date. So should be in stores sometime next week in Europe.
I Have The Vortex, My Coworker Has The Rustler, We Dragged Race @ Work, With Both Stock Electronics & Having Both The Speed Pinion (20t) Installed, Outta 5 Times We Drag, He Won 3 Times.. So The Next Day I Installed A 4s Battery, With The Same Electronics, I Blew Him Out The Waters..Lol! Outta 5 Times We Draged.. Will Keep You Up Updated, When He Buys His 4s Battery...😁
Fair review Jay Tee, I had two Rustler 4x4s, had a few driveshafts break. VXL motors get hot fast, sold both. Have two Arrma 3S trucks and haven't broken any so far.
And I've had them both as well as you can see :-). They should have kept the price lower it would have been a better comparisons. And there haven't been any updates to the rustler either since it has been released which is another thing I think that tracks is should be looking at and doing but I don't think they will. But the funny thing is is people are acting like the world is going to end because I said a couple of things in here but it's not like I said the Traxxas was better than the arrma LOL. We all know which is top dog.
I got the rustler 4x4 vxl last week. Everytime I have driven it I have broke one of the plastic driveshafts. It's always the little metal ball with pins sticking out breaking out of the plastic mount. Too expensive to replace everytime I drove. Have ordered some steel driveshafts to replace em. Besides that, I love it. It does suck that Traxxas knows about the weak spot on the rustler's drive shaft and doesn't seem to care....
Yep same with the Max needing the A arms wider kit upgrade needed. When Arrma had this problem with the first Big Rock truck they soon changed that on the next version, fitting the wider arms etc on stock trucks & not selling the customer extra upgraded part to put the truck right themselves.
Never broken a drive shaft on the 3S series from Arrma and I've had all of them. I break one almost every single time I drive my Rustler 4x4. smh. Huge advantage to the Arrmas there.
I have a few times and that's why I upgraded them to the aftermarket ones that armor makes for them. But as I kind of mentioned to each is own some people break them some people don't. But I have and it's no big ordeal people are acting like it's the end of the world because I said that LOL.
The Traxxas Center Brace for the Rustler 4x4 Vxl is a must! I've snapped two rustlers chassis in half but not with the center brace installed now I brake drive axles all day other then that love it lol but I'm still getting a Vortex
had to put some blue loctite on the right rear wheel already. my granite didnt have that issue yet though but if and when it does i know its an easy job and the loctite will prevent that 2mm screw from vibrating loose again. I saw it happened to you as well on the vorteks when you did the first review i believe. You were very unconcerned when it happened to you in the video so i stayed calm and walked over and it was the same issue. saw a few videos online about this issue on the other Aarma 3s trucks...granite, bigrock ect...I didnt have loctite the other night when it first happened but i took it apart and tightened it up anyway. Ran 1 pack the next day and it fell off again when doing some light drifting on asphalt...I bought generic blue thread lock medium strength from walmart. i put a good it of it down into the threads and put it all back together. im gonna wait 24 hrs just to be sure its fully dried and set and then go rip it. i hope it holds. One thing i noticed was that no matter which truck you have it is always the right rear wheel that this happens to. So my best advice anyone else reading this, pick up some loctite if you dont already have some when you pick up a new Vorteks or any of the Aarma 3S vehicles. other than that these trucks are an absolute enjoyment for my 6 year old son and I. God Bless, have fun always. Be safe
I've owned a rustler 4x4 and it was a fun truck but I remember it being slow compared to my big rock. The big rock seemed almost as fast on 2s to 3s for the rustler. The rustler is a better platform for building something insane like a 4 or 6s build.
Yep and that's one of the key points the armored cars are faster. When I first ran my rustler on 3s my friend thought I had it in training mode LOL! So you do have to do a couple things to get some speed out the Rustler but it does performing handle well once you get it going. But you have to throw more money into it
You have done it now JT lol, let the spat begin in the next run video ha ha. Cant wait, will certainly be entertaining seeing the comments coming in on that video. We should all remember we are grown adults playing with our toy cars & its not the end of the world someone having different views on their particular favorite cars. Let battle commence lol.
Lol leave it to traxxas instead of coming out with something truly new they up the price on old models. 🤨🤔 Ya ya guys I know the new stampede I mean hoss came out. I really hope traxxas does another xmaxx upgrade like when they went from 6 to 8s. Still my favorite truck. Just saying. I really like these 3s arrmas for my kid for a couple hundred bucks she can crash all she wants and it's only a few dollars to fix if it even breaks.
Yea I’m not sure why the price increased. Traxxas updates their cars and let’s us figure it out though, happened with the e revo 2.0 pushrods, took people an entire year to figure it out and the new widemaxx kit so I assume they had to have changed something, I’d like to know 😅
It's coming. Is going to be kind of funny some of the comments that I see once I put that type of video up. This is just a very mild overview I didn't even get really into most of the guts of the cars and look at most of the comments that are on here. It's kind of funny because I think someone else did someone of the comparisons and I don't see that kind of comments or negative stuff on their Channel but it is what it is. Wait till this run review comes up it's really going to be funny then. Thanks for tuning in and watching
I am new to the RC game and I picked up the ARRMA... only complaint is I wish someone told me I'd be getting 6-13 mins of run time 🙄 I have a 5200 lipo battery and gonna need to buy another to stretch out my fun
I'm running a 8500 MA 50c 3s with mine. I have two of those lipos, one for my rival mt10 and the other for my vorteks. The rival I can get about 15 min of straight run time and about 10-12 min on the vorteks. Not a huge difference but noticeable.
Things the Vorteks has that the Rustler doesn't: * Motor heatsink and fan * ESC fan * Programmable ESC * Big bore shocks * Metal geared servo * D styled pinion gear * 50/75/100 throttle limiting * Servo endpoint adjustment Things the Rustler has that the Vorteks doesn't: * Clipless body * Self righting * 12mm hexes (don't need adapters for most aftermarket tires) * Adjustable shock mounts * Metal diff gears
@@philthyco1 Nope, Vorteks has plastic diff gears. ARA310956. The Rustler has all metal diff gears. More companies make 12mm wheels than 14mm wheels, like Pro-Line.
@@philthyco1 Ring gears or diff gears, whatever you want to call it, it's made of plastic and is a $50 upgrade each, that's $100 for both diffs. Rustler comes with all metal gears and needs no upgrade. Pro-Line, the biggest aftermarket tire company doesn't make 14mm wheels. The Vorteks needs to replace the hexes to run the most popular wheels.
@@philthyco1 If there's no need to upgrade the ring gear then why are there upgrades for it? There's RPM upgrades for the Arrma 3S 4x4 line as well, care to explain why aftermarket companies are making upgrades for Arrma parts if they don't need upgrades? 12mm hexes provide more options than 14mm hexes, that's a fact. You're limited in options with 14mm hexes. If you want to run the best and most popular wheels out there with the Vorteks, you need to buy additional hexes. And saying Arrma needs zero upgrades out of the box while Traxxas needs multiple upgrades just shows how much of a fanboy you are. I have both Arrma and Traxxas, they break the same. Neither is more durable than the other and that's a fact.
@@geodude3966 I’m sure the esc is programable on the traxxas what about the receiver that’s way better on traxxas oh and you just conveniently forgot about tsm which is very helpful on loose surfaces or spots you haven’t driven in before like with mine I ripe it through caravan parks on holidays and it’s way easier to drive I will be upgrading my rustler 4x4 soon to make it stronger but so far nothing has really broken in 1.5 years.
@@johnbat1846 You can't program punch, brake, timing, or anything else on the VXL-3S unless you get the bluetooth adapter. The Spektrum Firma ESC you can program with just the set button. The TX/RX is better on the Arrma, it gives you way more options. And the Vorteks has AVC which is the same as TSM, did you forget about that?
I’ve always had an interest in the VXL but recently picked up the Vorteks. One thing worth mentioning, is that the tires on the Vorteks are vented on the outside to expel water. After what you mentioned about the Traxxas controller, I’m glad I picked up the Vorteks. My girlfriend was driving my Redcat 6S (has no throttle limiter) while, I was driving my Outcast 6S. I was hesitant about letting her drive the Outcast, but then I remembered you can limit the throttle on the controller. She quickly fell in love with driving the Outcast; and I’m pretty sure that’s due to the throttle limiter, which means newbies don’t have to spend so much time trying to feather the throttle. And yes I know you can do it with Traxxas, but Arrma makes it so much easier to do. Anyhow, I feel that having quick access to throttle control on the transmitter, makes for a more enjoyable experience for first timers, as well as experienced drivers when you don’t have to keep taking off the body (coughs: Traxxas) to change settings.
I'm surprised to hear 12-18 minutes run time for those two! I'm using the Traxxas 5000 MAH 3S in my Hoss and get well over 30 minutes. Why is that? Maybe because the 540XL 2400 Kv from the Maxx is so lightly-loaded in the Hoss? My son and I are currently bashing on a huge dirt pile on a baseball field doing double backflips and I wouldn't say we're taking it easy.
I was quite surprised that they raised their prices on the 2wd vxl models by quite a bit. Really took them out of any competition with the Arrma 3s lineup. Good video but I'd of liked to have seen the trucks without their bodies for comparison.
Yeah I probably would have but the video was already 10 minutes long and I was only planning on making it about 5 or 6. But I'll do it when I run them together
I think the stock gearing for the Vorteks is a little too tall, at least in the fl heat. It gets pretty hot on 3s. Does fine off road but on tarmac even without the speed gear it gets Toasty at the end of a battery.
Thanks. I got more coming in some of these people that are commenting on here or just insanely interesting to say the least. Now when I put this running video out people are really going to go crazy LOL but it is what it is
HI Jaytee, So far this is the best RC car videos. I have question.. If I'm jumping my car and it's about to land on its butt...what adjustments should I make so I can land on 4 wheels like you?
The rustler ones snap easier. The 4s trucks run plastic shaft mine is 2 years old and still runs the original shafts. I had a rustler it snaped even in tumbles. Thats my experience
Great comparison. Except now, buyer's remorse after buying the Hoss LoL. Oh well. I shoulda bought the Maxx, but if I wanted a cheaper smaller truck I should've bought the Vorteks. Double whammy! LoL. I'm upgrading with some Tekno parts and may dump more $$ on a Maxx ESC and go 4S.
I keep breaking the suspension arms where the pin goes through into the chassis. I guess there's no fix. The arms are probably stout for the lighter 1/10 trucks but the Hoss is a heavy girl. I don't break them as often since switching to 2S. And the battery is quite a bit lighter than the huge Traxxas 3S. I guess I need to be more careful. At least the arms are cheap (on ebay) and easy to replace.
Like I said I have snapped them both. The Traxxas may snap a little faster but I'll snap them both. At the end of the day it is plastic so it's eventually going to break whichever model it is.
Thanks for the comment. I wanted to go more death but it was like 3:30 in the morning when I film this LOL. There's a couple of things I could have touched on but most of the people who are familiar with RC cars gets the point I was getting across with this. Running video coming soon
To me there's no comparison with the rustler being way more expensive. The vorteks is faster, more durable, wont overheat on 3s, and is 50 dollars cheaper
I would have to say the Vorteks! I have broken so many drive shafts on my rustler and tried upgrading to aluminum ones, but those still break. I even went with CVD driveshafts, but those are still weak.
@@JayTeeRC Hi Jaytee, The forward and reverse is working. I just took my JLB Cheetah for a spin on grass and street. WOW!! It is fast I never had it on full throttle and it was popping wheelies The only think happen was my front wheel came off. That was because the tool kit was never sent with the car.
It's really a skewed definitely arrma biased video you odn't used the gear you given because the rustler with that would be faster it's a fact.... also is this the vxl model?
Traxxas Rustler 4x4 vxl is much more better than Arrma Vorteks 3s... I mean upgrades Traxxas have much more aftermarket parts then Than Arrma ... You cannot put Sway bar kit on The Arrmar Vorteks 3s... That's really bad... Why I am telling you this because I have one so now I am thinking to go and buy a Traxxas products how much more better
Arrma is the best, can't wait to get the Vorteks!
I have a Arrma but Traxxas Rustler is better CZ Sway bar

Great video. Two things to think about: The Vorteks is more robust and cheaper than the rustler, and 2). Traxxas raised the price on the rustler.
yea and not sure why they raised the price 🤔🙄

Traxxas is like your uncle that still rocks a mullet, drives a Trans-Am, and listens to Bon Jovi...
And uses a iPhone. Lol! Traxxas reminds me of Apple.
Yep I've always said Traxxas is like to eat iPhone of the RC Car World in Arrma is like Google
@@JayTeeRC It’s true though. I tell people that all the time! Traxxas even has parts everywhere just like iPhones have fricking cases everywhere!

Can u upgraded Arrma Vorteks 3swith a Sway bar..? Because high speed turned it is little unstable...
what about the rustler fragile half shafts, and the vortex half shafts not breaking so easily?
Like I said I have snapped them both. The Traxxas may snap a little faster but I'll snap them both. At the end of the day it is plastic so it's eventually going to break whichever model it is.

To me there's no comparison with the rustler being way more expensive. The vorteks is faster, more durable, wont overheat on 3s, and is 50 dollars cheaper
I wonder how these two compare to the losi tenacity!
I would have to say the Vorteks! I have broken so many drive shafts on my rustler and tried upgrading to aluminum ones, but those still break. I even went with CVD driveshafts, but those are still weak.
I get about 40 mins with my rustler
Hi Jaytee,
I just got my JLB rc car but I can't get it to verse.
Can you help me with this?
You may want to check the radio settings and also the ESC settings I think it comes with a hobby Wing Rebrand right

Hi Jaytee,
The forward and reverse is working.
I just took my JLB Cheetah for a spin on grass and street. WOW!!
It is fast
I never had it on full throttle and it was popping wheelies
The only think happen was my front wheel came off. That was because the tool kit was never sent with the car.
The Arrma is so much faster right out of the box.
Steel spur gear and pinion on the vorteks or plastic? Would like to run a 4s once my purple n pink comes in 😀
It's really a skewed definitely arrma biased video you odn't used the gear you given because the rustler with that would be faster it's a fact.... also is this the vxl model?
Vorteks for the win
Yep wait till you see the Box stock to box stock running video. People really going to start hating in LOL
Traxxas Rustler 4x4 vxl is much more better than Arrma Vorteks 3s... I mean upgrades Traxxas have much more aftermarket parts then Than Arrma ... You cannot put Sway bar kit on The Arrmar Vorteks 3s... That's really bad... Why I am telling you this because I have one so now I am thinking to go and buy a Traxxas products how much more better
Arrma all day bro! I wish they made this lil one in 6s. It might take off and fly away 🤣🤣🤣
🙃
The Rustler h
First
Oh man you did it! 🙄
😁😊
Traxxas sucks.
you just can’t beat Arma
traxxas is overpriced garbage
Well it isn’t the arrma wasn’t out 1.5 years ago and I’ve enjoyed the traxxas so far and it’s very easy to control and fairly durable.
