Agreed. I prefer ARRMA simply because I like the way their vehicles look and how the internals look more. Purely preference. Also, I tend to stay ARRMA just because I already have the right chargers, batteries/connectors and spare parts are interchangeable.
I have the Xmaxx, Kraton 8s and the Outcast 8s. The Outcast is probably my best choice. It's an absolute beast. I don't jump it as high as some people but I bash it HARD over dirt, sand, rocks, mudd, grass, water and I haven't had to do a thing to it (other than the standard cleanings/lubrications) and the truck has had zero issues and not a single part has broken. Today I was at a wet, muddy, rocky construction site and it just chewed it up. Really impressed with Arma and how durable their products are.
I'm glad arrmas putting out these new cars. They aren't perfect, but they're really trying to improve what they have and create some good stuff. I don't think it's going to be an xmaxx killer, but definitely a competitor. I can't really complain though, more options in the "5th scale" category for us.
Especially bc trying bend sounds like arrma hooked you up , mine on pre ordered, going go over horizon after this. Clip , kev where your buddy give poor guy break he looks up to ya 😉
Kevin!!! just returned my outcast 8S junk, the body is the only good thing about it. Not Arrma tough. I got 375 out of 550, tons of screws loose and was junk out the box. XMAXX IS KING!!!
KILLER torture test Kev!😱Sending that big girl off the long jump ramp was EPIC!😂The 8s Outcast looks totally amazing! Hoping to get mine out this weekend for a test rip! Arrma is on their game right now and love it!!
That Outcast looks to be pretty good all in all. I really don't get the whole Traxxas vs Arrma thing. Just go with what you like, I don't think you'll lose either way. I have several Traxxas and the one Arrma, I'm happy with both.
Always loved your stuff Kevin met a friend of yours at West Valley Hobbies outside of Salt Lake City and loved her you are one of the reasons why I continue to enjoy this Hobby and I just want to personally thank you for doing what you do and being real and loving enjoying your passion because I'm the same way and it's admirable thanks again Kevin for doing what you do
11:05 I've done that with an 8S pack and could've cried, I've got a video up on how to fix the balance lead if you need it. Good solid review, and nice to see the chassis not bending
This is my favorite R/C car. I got an xmaxx recently, and I still like the outcast 8s better. The way it looks, the sound, and the handling is great! Very well engineered R/C
The only thing that makes someone a fan boy is the belief that their belongings or association with something will make them a better person. (They don't) 😉
Your one of the reasons why I got back into the hobby. Also just put a castle creations sidewinder 3 brushless motor and esc in my traxxas slash 2wd ran 3 cell and it needs a sock full of change to keep the front down.
Love all your videos and honest opinions. I was torn between buying a Kraton 8s and Xmaxx but after watching many of your reviews I picked up my xmaxx a few weeks ago. Im so glad I did, what a blast!
Same. Only RCs that I had until watching Kev were Tamiyas (not that there anything wrong with that). But watching this guy has got me into the bigger stuff from Arrma and traxxas. Though I am a long way off being able to afford anything like and Xmaxx 😆
@7:46 "yea they did make a good one this time" that is my number right there.. i just couldnt have an arrma till now... their upgrades across the board on the new lineup looks so much better... thanks for the beating on the new truck... nice work
You need to keep the ic5 connectors and get some smart batteries for that. You are getting rid of all the smart features by cutting off those connectors.
@@Todd_G_FPV me too but I think cool we needed to use phone app or remote it did esc temps all kinds data , not my cup tee either battery are low punch high cost
Question Kev, did u have the launch turned all the way up? I had thd same issue with my 6s notorious not doing standing back flips. Then I turned the launch up to 9 in it is an animal now!
Hi Kev love your vids I love that your very straight to the point and know what everyone wants to see, I got a traxxas maxx a few weeks ago and was wondering if you would recommend the wide kit, keep the vids coming
Kevin I’ve been depressed for a while and I’ve been watching ur Chanel for years and now that I’m depressed ur really the only you tuber who is from the U.K. and who can make me happy and u inspired me to get rc cars keep up the good work hope ur ok in lock down
I finally bought an X Max and I broke the rear C hub 30 minutes after owning it. Yesterday I broke the front lower arm at the pin where connects to the frame. What lower arms do you suggest for the X-Maxx?
Wow... The Outcast took a hammering. That flat out run off that ramp, truck must have flew 70 ft & Chassis still straight 👌 Only a shock rod end after all that bashing. Arrma made a Winner there & Looks Amazing. Kevin how close a fit is that Outcast 8s body shell for the Kraton 8s?? TIA
Hey kev, absolutely love watching your vids, you inspire me to make rc videos and also inspired me to buy my first rc, now I have a small collection of rc’s. I actually haven’t stopped spending money on upgrades haha, keep up the good work!
I am looking at one of these and found a package deal including lipos, charger etc, am I better off doing this individually to get better batteries etc?
Hi Kev do you recommend the traxxas rustler 4 x4 vxl rc car☺️🤗I love your channel you have the best vids on youtube also hope you enjoyed paddlesworth 💙💙
4:18 well the raminator is 1/5 scale of a monster truck and the outcast is based of a regular truck so it's like comparing a stock chevy/ford to a monster truck 2x the size
Thanks for the vid Kev!! It seems the 8S OutKast doesn’t have the ability for stunts and thrills like the 6S. It appears to be just to dang heavy! I have a Traxxas E-Revo 2.0 and just ordered the Armma Kraton EXB. My next one is the XMAXX baby!! Still waiting on the Arama as they keep pushing the date back!!!

I think he is waiting for parts
I'm hyped for the speed project

Rc’s: exist
Kev: I’LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!
Can't sleep without seeing kevs videos. So so so exited to see the unboxing and comparison of brand new xmaxx 8s with outcast 8s.🤯🤯
Where did u exit through?

It’s so weird seeing kev with a beard...
i think that a beard suits him well
Don't do goaties kids. They're gateway beards. Before you know it it's a fullface monster. No going back.
Must be the heatwave in the UK that's getting to him!
That's a beard???? What does that make my beard that's a short 2-3 inches below my chin? 🤷♂️
@@mikej8832 😂 yeah Kev's is more of a light chin dusting. I reckon he should do the full shaggy facehugger myself.
Quick question should I get this or a 4s and slap on a max 8 for 6s power?
Elmo was loving life lol
poor elmo took a beating!!
This 8s outcast is proof they will most likely be making a Senton 8s. Hopefully they’ll remake my first rc car. The raider
Senton and outcast are 2 different models.. i have both
paulb91 I ment to put 8s not outcast lol. Stupid autocorrect
Todd Gerhardt yes I know. I ment to put senton 8s not outcast. Autocorrect
It’ll be the Mojave name as they discontinued the 6s Senton line
Casual that’s true I forgot about the Mojave
don't you remember saying you won't get the about a month ago
haha yes
I do too , made whole video 😆 kev did get for promotion?
Especially bc trying bend sounds like arrma hooked you up , mine on pre ordered, going go over horizon after this. Clip , kev where your buddy give poor guy break he looks up to ya 😉

Arrma typhon 8s 1/5?🤔
Been waiting for this a long while! Thanks for uploading, Kev!
Man this dude gets me excited about rc cars like I’m a kid again! Love this channel

*i love it*
Glad to see you got the Arrma 1.5th Outcast, going to watch and see if its Arrma Tough baby! Lol
0:59 that was REALLY good
Ok I am seriously impressed with the outcast 8s. I never wanted the kraton 8s but im already in love with it. Wait, another xmaxx?
you have to try the savage xs flux rc car
i have it and its fun to drive
top speed is 100km/h

yes!
@@KevinTalbotTV cant wait to see that in action
We can't wait for ours to arrive!😁😁
How don’t you have more subs kev, I think this content is amazing
HI Kevin, I really want to get durable and fast rc car, but I cant decide between WL toys A969 or WL toys 12427. What should I do?
Get the LC racing clone, WL 144001. Best 1 they make IMO
Thanks for keeping us all entertained during lockdown kev, I've gone through litterally every video you have posted, you've been a lifesaver
Legend!
@@KevinTalbotTV very good
But we're you got that much money

@@jeroendejong1577 maybe 7 months
What do you think about the DX3, do you recommend to buy that controller for Kraton 6s? That body must be the coolest body from Arrma 💎👌🏻 6/5
seems like a good radio so far
@@KevinTalbotTV thanks for the fast response. Is it better than the rubbish stx2?
I have been watching your channel for 2 and a half years and you got me in to the hobby I just wanted to say thanks 🔥🔥👌👌👍🤙
Yeah he got pe excited to start again with the hobby because i quited. He's awesome
Same. Only RCs that I had until watching Kev were Tamiyas (not that there anything wrong with that). But watching this guy has got me into the bigger stuff from Arrma and traxxas. Though I am a long way off being able to afford anything like and Xmaxx 😆
Pre ordered mine weeks ago and it still hasn’t shipped 😪
:(
What is keeping them from shipping? I have been debating pre ordering one. Or waiting until they come into the local hobby shop in slc utah.
Richard Tadje mine shipped yesterday. I’ll have it tomorrow. Should be in you LHS soon.
Sweet. Where are u located?
NW Ohio. Video coming soon
I am a proud subscriber for 1 year now.can i get the heart please?
Thank's for another great video Kev!
rumour is if you come soon enough Kevin favs your comment
@7:46 "yea they did make a good one this time" that is my number right there.. i just couldnt have an arrma till now... their upgrades across the board on the new lineup looks so much better... thanks for the beating on the new truck... nice work
When he says that he wasn’t going to get it.
Nice for coming first in long jump, u always make me happy when u make vids, arma tough baby!
thanks dude
Legends say it's hard to get a like from kevin
naaa!
Owww yeah
Do you know the Traxxas Hoss 4x4 VXL?
He sounds like he is talking in caps lock
Microwaved Salad thats an interesting way to describe it😂
Just got mine, first run was on 6s, jumped great and back flipped easily. Very happy so far, need to put in the 23 tooth pinion.
You need to keep the ic5 connectors and get some smart batteries for that. You are getting rid of all the smart features by cutting off those connectors.
Yes but aren't you recording data from batteries into the esc ?
The chip and battery yes plug in esc no
@@Todd_G_FPV me too but I think cool we needed to use phone app or remote it did esc temps all kinds data , not my cup tee either battery are low punch high cost
Bro why are they discontinuing these models
I’m one of those 33%!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m just upgrading from a brushed 2wd stampede to a 4wd brushless slash. So ecxited
Dude no way same here. I had a 4wd stampede and I upgraded to the slash ultimate!
awesome, ordered it 3 days ago, and it’s on backorder so
Why is no one talking about the Elmo x-maxx?? (9:11) I want to see more of it
Congrats on all of these subs ps you are my favorite youtuber
Kevin, you are the best! Thank you for all of your amazing content! Keep up the good work! I even started my own channel because of you
Question Kev, did u have the launch turned all the way up? I had thd same issue with my 6s notorious not doing standing back flips. Then I turned the launch up to 9 in it is an animal now!
no, its all on stock settings, ill have a look :)
Awesome! Looking forward to more videos with it!
Keep up the good work kev👏
Did you have the punch set all the way up on the esc when you tried the standing back flip? And What c rating lipo are you using?
Not played with any esc settings yet dude, c is 140 i think, thats what they say anyway how accurate it is who knows
Awesome video! That spot got filled up quickly! Lots of people having fun so cool!
Hi Kev love your vids I love that your very straight to the point and know what everyone wants to see, I got a traxxas maxx a few weeks ago and was wondering if you would recommend the wide kit, keep the vids coming
What is better arma 8s or x maxx 8s
I just got a 6s kraton! So pleased with it, and I'm hoping to really get into the hobby like you, kev!
what would you recommend for a cheap but efficient RC car or truck for a starter
Will those battery's fit in the xmaxx?
yes! i bit tight but they go in :)
@@KevinTalbotTV Thanks Kevin.
what do think of the new Traxxas Hoss?
looks cool!
@@KevinTalbotTV I personally like the green one.

Are you having problems with the zop powers
zop? noop still going strong
@@KevinTalbotTV ok was thinking about getting some. Didn't know if they were doing bad for you
I finally bought an X Max and I broke the rear C hub 30 minutes after owning it. Yesterday I broke the front lower arm at the pin where connects to the frame. What lower arms do you suggest for the X-Maxx?
What is the update on the vault?
Wooooh!! Awesome 👌 Elmo definitely killing it!
Wow... The Outcast took a hammering. That flat out run off that ramp, truck must have flew 70 ft & Chassis still straight 👌 Only a shock rod end after all that bashing. Arrma made a Winner there & Looks Amazing. Kevin how close a fit is that Outcast 8s body shell for the Kraton 8s?? TIA
Hey kev, absolutely love watching your vids, you inspire me to make rc videos and also inspired me to buy my first rc, now I have a small collection of rc’s. I actually haven’t stopped spending money on upgrades haha, keep up the good work!
Did you have heat issues in the motor and ESC when running the 23t in your Kraton 8s?
I am looking at one of these and found a package deal including lipos, charger etc, am I better off doing this individually to get better batteries etc?
Great jumps Kev! That Elmo on the XMaxx was priceless. I need to do this just to watch all the kids joyful reactions at the local park! 👍😂
I need to get a hobby grade rc car that isnt from amazon
Lmao
Did you turn the punch up to do the standing backflip?
Guys I have a question which is better for bashing? Arrma kraton 4s or outcast 4s
I got mine a week ago, love it! I have not changed the pinion yet. Do you think its worth shoving an 1100KV Hobbywing motor and max5 in this thing?
More power is always a good thing
So what’s the difference between the outcast and kraton?
Can you review the beast slayer rccar?
Hi Kev do you recommend the traxxas rustler 4 x4 vxl rc car☺️🤗I love your channel you have the best vids on youtube also hope you enjoyed paddlesworth 💙💙
yeh great car! paddlesworth was great!!

Is the outcast 8s body the same as the infraction body
Will you be getting the new traxxas HOSS 4x4 VXL?
I see your all videos, iam from 🇮🇳India

Hi Kev , would you say this is a little tougher than the kraton 8 ? I’m torn between the two and I already have the Xmaxx
Nice Video Kev 👍👍👍
Are you going to get the Hoss 4x4 VXL? (it unfortunately comes with plastic shafts)
Hey Kev if you swap battery connectors do you lose the "smart" capability that shows battery level on the transmitter?
Are you ever going to revisit the jlb cheetahs? Been blown away by mine. Interested in a comparison to an arma
yeh man
Yo yo yo Kev - all your links push to the states - i’m after an X MAxx for myself - where would you recommend for the best deal?
your local hobby store support them
Thanks for the vid Kev!! It seems the 8S OutKast doesn’t have the ability for stunts and thrills like the 6S. It appears to be just to dang heavy!

can you believe there having a sale on outcast 8s? 250 off 969. wonder if there gona release something new?
