    i really used like Traxxas I don’t much anymore tooo expensive and use same parts since I started the hobby in 1990 when I started with mechanical speed controls and build your own batteries. loved the Nitro then everything went brushless silent waterproof great. I even have there first RC pickup truck car still sealed.. the point is New trucks should be new not same bed esc everyone replaces with a max 6!?? same motor XRT stands for racing truck. i’ve been racing for over 15 years never seen a racing truck with no adjustments like turnbuckles, Camber, Toe, ect You can’t even adjust the ESC. I think of them as not innovative at all. look at the New xo-1 what did they change?? at least that a great Esc Castle!

      Well you are part of the minority.. as in not many people think like you 😂 I love my xrt and don't regret forking out 1.5k on it.. it was well worth it to me and that's all that matters. That being said, something is only worth as much as someone will pay for it, and in this case 1.5k is what a lot of people have and will continue to pay for it. I do agree on the adjustment though as there are literally none.. other than the 2 other modes. Parts are somewhat cheap imho, at least the expendable ones like control arms, steering knuckles.. stuff that would normally break.

      @@adammilan6434 Well your a tiny part of a minority that as many people have to lie and insult other for a opinion did you cry 😢 before you wrote this 2 WEEK OLD MESSAGE OR WHERE IN SCHOOL. probably getting schooled. as they way you responded in my personal opinion comment!! Listen maybe U don’t understand the point here my opinion that’s all...I own more Traxxas then any other R/Cs manufacturers but when it comes to large scale RC 1/5 I prefer to put my own electronics in them probably because I used put my own nitro motors and also race 1/10 limited class racing buggy. I like EXB Roller from Arrma like the Outkast, Mojave just of I’m a racing background I actually prefer kits. I don’t understand why you have to be like this??
