Just getting back into the hobby over the last few months but I've learned so much from you in that short amount of time... I'd love to have a bash or crawler session with you and the crew! Love the videos know if up! Thank you!!!
I just ordered an orange one from my buddy who owns a small LHS. That is a great idea to help small businesses. I get mine Friday...Its almost xmas everyday.
on that traxxas charger there are two little rubber plastic doors by the plugs and those doors reveal the normal lipo balance leads so you can run any lipo you want
I have been waiting for this for ages thanks Kev 😀that looks absolutely epic I love your videos you are the best youtuber ever 👍keep it up with your awesome vids
the added clearance makes it a better jumper than my rustler which is just slapping the body constantly. Love how good the rustler is at hooning and going fast but that hoss looks fun at the jumps.
I’ve never clicked on a notification faster. Btw kev, you are my favourite channel. I’ve been subbed for 2 years now and have never missed a notification! ❤️
No comparison. Granite is like a Pede($380.) The hoss has a larger motor, center diff, and upgraded tires. Adding those to the Pede costs $120, $75, and $70. . Slipper clutch can’t disconnect wheels form each other from shock and also hurts steering. Center diff allows the wheel landed on to stop spinning while the power flows through the other wheels protecting the driveline and allows for better turning. iirc, The larger motor has an 18mm diameter and 38mm long rotor (36x70 can dimensions) which is much considerably larger than the granite and Pede motors. My large rotor comp motor, puller pro 3500kv 540 size motor from Holmes hobbies, has an 18mm diameter and 25mm long rotor. And having larger tires gives greater traction and more weight for rotating and flips.
@EvanStreams Sure thing, your right. Here in Australia, the Traxxas Hoss is $930 in a Local Hobby Shop. For $899 you can buy a Arrma Typhon 6s 1/8 Buggy. So the little Traxxas Hoss is to expensive, $230 more than a Traxxas Stampede VXL 4x4 at $700.
i find it pretty funny actually how like little kids in the skate park get so hyped of them cars, i went to a skate park with my little 1/18 scale and they absolutely loved it. its quite a shame i can't afford one of those bigger and faster models, i would love to see their reaction to that!
things that i like about it 1. the wheelie bar 2. the tires 3. the motor high torque gives loads of power for stunts things i dont like 1 price 2 price 3 price 4 how overpriced it is 5 the plastic shafts 6 the plastic shocks 7. the price there you go
2:00 *KEV!* If you look at your Rustler 4x4 you'll see that the front wheels are facing in the wrong direction. The rears are pointing forward but the treads on the front are pointing backward!
Kev im a giant fan ifinally got a yt account os i can tell you how awesome you are ypu have inspired me really much im gonna start whit buying rc cars and stuff
It would reduce rolling, but jumping and hard turns will put more stress on the bearings and wear them out faster. It’s also more stress for the plastics. Great for handling, not so great for durability
I've been looking for a long time for a rc car as strong as the slash and as agile as the rustler and i think this ones fits the bill pretty good. love your stuff kev, keep it up
Same. Originally I was thinking the Slash 4X4 VXL but I currently have a Stamoede and love the feel of a monster truck. Don’t get me wrong, my brother just got a Slash 4X4 VXL and it handles like a dream, but I want the raw feeling of power I get with a monster truck. Plus the self-righting, higher-torque motor and sledgehammer tires will be great Might need to get some sway bars though. I’ll have to see how well it stays on its feet or if it flips as easily as my Stampede
Traxxas calls it the Rustler cousin. shares about 95% of parts with the rustler. I have mine on order and along with my Rustler should provide a good spares stable.
Interesting that you will be trying the TRX batt/charger. I have a Deans 3s and thinking about picking up a Maxx. I was originally planning to convert the ESC to Deans, but if I ever try 4s, I'm not sure Deans is the best option. I need a second charger anyway, so considering taking the plunge and getting the Traxxas single "Live" charger and the TRX 5ah 3s to go with it all...
If any r/c car survives more than one bash session with Kevin, I know it will never break a piece for my style of driving.
True
I don’t get how this dude just messes up all of his cars, such a waste
Just getting back into the hobby over the last few months but I've learned so much from you in that short amount of time... I'd love to have a bash or crawler session with you and the crew! Love the videos know if up! Thank you!!!
Traxxas must have sent you that:) I know you, you would have never got the traxxas batteries and charger LOL!!!
Yes
Was thinking the same. Lmao
Ikr
Thought that was weird too
He probably had them laying around from buying top models of every new traxxas
I'm saving for a traxxas maxx
Good pick imo, one of the better RTRs
Me too
That’s smart! Only a little bit more money & your getting a way better RC!
That might take a wile
Great choice, i have the maxx and it is super Awesome
Well done traxxas for supporting the model shops! Big plus in my book
Thx so much kev for inspiring me to get into rc. Like so he can see this please
VRTXroses and what rc Cars have you
Get a plane. Way better then a car.
@@JJdontDoIt I have 7 planes ;)
Dick
@VRTXroses You're pretty pathetic begging for likes.
"Oooh, supple!"
2:27 stabs the living hell out of oxygen bags 😂😂
it looks like the rustler 4x4 and stampede had a kid
makes a ruspede or the stampler
Yeah or a x max rustler
Yes
Agreed
He'll ya
I just ordered an orange one from my buddy who owns a small LHS. That is a great idea to help small businesses. I get mine Friday...Its almost xmas everyday.
I knew you would get the hoss
Ive also never clicked on a notification that fast
you should get out more....Hoss not going to end well...

I have been waiting for this for ages thanks Kev 😀that looks absolutely epic I love your videos you are the best youtuber ever 👍keep it up with your awesome vids
LoL that little guy is a born salesman! ✌
for 470$ i d just get a maxx
I bet it’s better than a slash 4x4. Kinda reminds me of stampede but redesign stampede.
yea but this is as almost as powerful as the maxx on 3s. maybe we can overkill this with our ol' jlb cheetah 4s electronics?
What’s with this sassy Lost child? Yeah kinda like a stampede 2.0
Except the maxx is 800$
Seb94 no it’s not. The maxx is under 600 dollars and the x maxx is about over 900 dollars.
For your last video you should paint it neon green
Also you should make a body like liberty francis has made on his youtube channel
I can't remember if kev drive a car first time and didn't damage it. Haha😁
The second time I took my slash 4x4 out immediately jumped it and hit a concrete wall
the added clearance makes it a better jumper than my rustler which is just slapping the body constantly. Love how good the rustler is at hooning and going fast but that hoss looks fun at the jumps.

Me to
Same
Me three
wouldn't have bothered if you'd seen one in person....literally everyone here in the USA is kicking the hell out of it...but not buying it..
It was the weak servo saver (you can see it in the video) because it protects the servo well while landing "special".
Can you compare it to a arrma granite?
They look the same to me
I think you're absolutely correct. The Hoss will be Arrma's Granite. My granite is a beast too
Granite would make the loos look like shit lol
No comparison. Granite is like a Pede($380.) The hoss has a larger motor, center diff, and upgraded tires. Adding those to the Pede costs $120, $75, and $70.

I'd say the rival mt10 is closer than the granite in comparison
Kev smashed the burn out car
My only complaint about the Traxxas Hoss, is the Price.
It’s called a hoss, says right in the name it’s gonna cost some money
@EvanStreams Sure thing, your right. Here in Australia, the Traxxas Hoss is $930 in a Local Hobby Shop. For $899 you can buy a Arrma Typhon 6s 1/8 Buggy. So the little Traxxas Hoss is to expensive, $230 more than a Traxxas Stampede VXL 4x4 at $700.
The value of the hoss would be 400$ at MAX? You can get a 4s truck for that money man.. no wait hoss is over 450$ 🤣 bunny hop king tho
@@ghettobirdish I know right, they should have called it the Stampede XL (long wheel base) 4x4. It would have been cheaper 😎😂
@@EXTREMERC416 unfortunately, it’s true. The Hoss will be $1000 when you buy the battery, more if you need a charger.
i find it pretty funny actually how like little kids in the skate park get so hyped of them cars, i went to a skate park with my little 1/18 scale and they absolutely loved it.
its quite a shame i can't afford one of those bigger and faster models, i would love to see their reaction to that!
Will you get the arma big rock crew cab v3
things that i like about it 1. the wheelie bar 2. the tires 3. the motor high torque gives loads of power for stunts things i dont like 1 price 2 price 3 price 4 how overpriced it is 5 the plastic shafts 6 the plastic shocks 7. the price there you go
What would you suggest instead?
Who else saw this arrive from the live yesterday
Yep
Me
4:15 you flipped it super fast at the park hahaha
I like the idea of it only being available at hobby shops for the first 7 weeks. Gives them a chance of surviving
Its good idea only idk on purpose, bc manufacturers behind so basically drop shipping everything hence the pre order than backorder, jmo
4:14 you broke it Kev YOU BROKE IT !
I saw this one coming from yesterday’s live stream
Wow! That thing can Ollie! Definitely a skatepark weapon.
I know my day is gonna be good when Kev uploads
Same
Same👍
Same 👌
Yep me too
The Kid knows what he is talking about👍👍👍
OH my god, this car looks pretty cool!!
Cool rc car keep up the awesome work.👍👍👍
i wish i could have just one of the cars you do your frickin awesome man thanks for the great vid
Buy one !
Powwwoooaaaahhhhhh mind blowing
parvejar I would but I don’t have the money
We call it "dad technic"
Or get a job if ur dad doesnt like you
parvejar 😂
2:00 *KEV!* If you look at your Rustler 4x4 you'll see that the front wheels are facing in the wrong direction. The rears are pointing forward but the treads on the front are pointing backward!
Did Redfin ever get that yellow speedster totally fixed? You warned him before you drove it! Hahaha!
Looks like an awesome little rc!!
Haha, you sent Jason’s RC burnout car to the moon, tumblywomberly style lol
That poor little Lancia Delta😭😅
Kev YOU LIKE THE TRAXXAS STAMPEDE VXL 2WD OR 4X4 3S
The Hoss is cool 😎. Love the look and color of it. Good video “KTB” 👍🏽
4:14 I can never ever forget that video Kev
Wow that Li-PO charged in less than two minutes!!!!!
😂😂😂
boom!
That back flip reverse into a front flip was sick love the bunny hoops also 👍✌️
Hoops???
Kev im a giant fan ifinally got a yt account os i can tell you how awesome you are ypu have inspired me really much im gonna start whit buying rc cars and stuff
Took a pretty good beating. Alot of power too
Just got a hoss my self one of the best small rc cars can’t wait to see you bash the hell out of it
Hoss was getting some pretty good air time!!
Watch out for those zombies 🧟♂️
What are zombies?
Hey there, it's not good for Li-po Akkus to load them up fully. It's better to keep them around 50%. Just wanted to say that
yeh i always put them into storage mode when done
You know what you’re talking about Kevin, this truck Is awesome I’ve got 2 !!
2:22 this is why you are the best rc youtuber that there is!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love this channel ❤️
"The Zombies are back..."🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♂️ 🤣 Nice review Kev.
Use your avatar to kill them!
@@stradale1310 💥💥💥🔥🧟♂️💀🧟♂️💀🧟♂️💀🔥💥💥💥😂👍
Would using wheel hex hub extensions to give the Hoss a wider footprint be a good idea or a bad idea (to reduce rolling)?
It would reduce rolling, but jumping and hard turns will put more stress on the bearings and wear them out faster. It’s also more stress for the plastics. Great for handling, not so great for durability
I agree about the plastic chassis. Whenever you hit a plastic chassis, it won’t get majorly bent.
When are you going to build a 307 mph rc car?
I think never, he wants to build a 202 mph rc car
@@beerenjoyer8525 I'm very sorry, I meant it as a joke, you seem to not understand my sense of humor, so I'm very, very sorry.
@@robbrcnstuff4220 Sry, I don't understand English/American humor, because I don't live there
No a 420 mph rc car lol
@@AbyssCrisp Imagine a 420 mph car hitting a ramp😂
4:15 Just another RC beauty sent to Talbot Heaven
I've been looking for a long time for a rc car as strong as the slash and as agile as the rustler and i think this ones fits the bill pretty good.
love your stuff kev, keep it up

awesome video Kev!! Cant wait to see more videos with this beast!!
I saw it at shop I love it and I was like can't wait to see what Kev does to it
It means a lot that you hearted this I lost my mom to cancer today thank you for always brightening my days up
Just got into RC. Got a Traxxas Slash 4X4 and am hooked.
No one cares, but it’s my birthday!
🥳 I care happy birthday 🎉
happy birthday!!!!🥳🥳🥳 Wishes!!
Happy birthday
Happy birthday 🎉🎁🎂🎈🎊
YAY: Thank you all! 🙏
Awesome we can’t wait to take delivery of our first delivery in store demo model tomorrow. 👊
“Ohh S U P P L E”

Running joke 10 years ago was all traxxas vehicles are just clones of each other with mild differences
Kev’s next video “mAkInG tHe NEw HoSs 8s”
lol we all know that will happen soon
Ikr
Looks like a great little truck to play with, Thumbs up bud. 👍
I’ve never yelled so loud in my life when a video came up
0"50 I can see that battery hold down bar coming off after 3 mins of Kevvie firing this thing up outdoors lol.....
Oh my god it is beautiful
O god you got Traxxas lipos. Ballon time
I really like youre videos and i am really excited about youre next video!
Wow. Its like a mini mini max
put the wheels of the hoss on the rustler 4x4, and put tekno rc driveshafts on the rustler! its an absolute BEAST
Cant wait till kevin gets a arrma felony there fast out of the box and has an interesting design
Fantastic bashing Test kev, great Truck. Seems to be tough. Great video again 👍😎👍
I like your positive approach to traxxas. 😎🤙
I remember that crash with the yellow rally car. Epic
ive been looking at the hoss and wanted for you to get one and great vid
It looks like the mini Maxx and a Slash had a baby. Definitely going to get one. Cheers Kev
4:15 big boom
That yellow car in the shelf was launched from an uneven sidewalk🤘
In terms of how promotional videos go this is much better than raid shadow legends
I drove it because i'm the rc drive tester of the local rc shop who orded it and it's very fun! P.S. I love ypur channel
Kev looks like Richard hammond with that goatee
Is that an avocado!?!?! 1:20 👍😃
Yes
@@tottalytoast7394 thanks lol
Yes Kev I was wondering if you were going to get this!
4:13 you crashed it😂👌
Definitely a good looking rig kev the goatee is coming along nicely bro👍👍
Nice bashing! Nice move!👍
Hey Kev gear the hoss up and put ur traxxas slash tires on. I tied it and it’s awsome for the road.
You make my day 10000 times better please keep er goin
Nice car kev I wish I could have an expensive car like that I love ur videos
I'm waiting on my hobby shop to call me to go get it! I dig watching your channel...keep up the Awesome work!
