    I've made that same call and dash up to Hobbytown Plano a few times myself. And always for Arrma parts. I got to drive the Sledge yesterday at Traxxas HQ store. . Fun truggy. I was surprised at how much better it felt than the eRevo 2.0. Felt much more solid and planted. IT was also alot easier to keep the nose down.

    Good comparison. I think they are both great cars and competition is great for our hobby. I have roughly $650 in my Kraton. $329 Black Friday, $20 metal gear servo, $260 Max 6 combo 1650kv 20T pinion, $40 Dumborc 6 channel w/avc. Gps at 66mph on grass on 6s, can run 8s. Stock punch setting (3). If the traxxas was $650-699 I’d own one as well. Can’t lose with either of these. 👍🏻

But it's always hard to tell because everyone drives their own way. So fun to see the boys out there having fun with RC and flipping them.

    Nice video dude! Was interesting to see how these monsters stacked up to each other. One thing I will mention though is that in the beginning the arrma was gonna run you just shy of $1k… realistically If you got all the stock Spektrum electronics from JennysRC (and I even made a video on it a while back and JRC is NOT a scam) then it would only be about $720. (I know you put a really nice Savox in there, but the stock S652 is $20 on JRC and from what I’ve seen is actually really fast and torquey) And as for the punch settings, you can adjust those with the little secondary button on the esc without the little programming card. Not trying to diss you or anything, and I like your content, just wanted to put that out there.

    650 kraton v5 is more inline with the traxxas sledge. The exb can be any cost over 450. You can put a solid max 8 system for 200. That's 650. And decent remote and reciever for 100. It's 750. Servo you're at 800. 1000 is a upgraded price range. Imo.

    You can literally get the motor and ESC as brand new take offs for 115$ for the set on Jennys RC.
    And a Amazon 35kg Servo is more than enough.
    My entire Kraton EXB build comes out to 80$ less than a sledge with the same system in it. 😂

  • @NepDouble07
    @NepDouble07 2 года назад +11

    I can say with confidence just from owning both arrma and Traxxas, that the Traxxas will definitely have the better drivetrain. Other than that, if price is no object, both are great choices. One allows you to pick whatever electronics you want, and they other comes ready to go with pretty good specs. I do prefer the c-hubs on the sledge as compared to the pillowball hubs on the kraton 6s, as well as the fixed turnbuckles on the sledge, especially if they're more durable. But it is nice to have the tuning options on the kraton as well as the LSD differentials which is neat.

      @@Sackmatters we all have different experiences and the real issue is we dont acknowledge this. For example, my comparison story is....my hoss has yet to have any major breaks (only lower plastic shock cap part) and I sent in 20-30 times off big jumps. The amount of time (months/years) is really not something we can use as a metric as some people might drive their car 1 time in 6 months and another 30-50 times. That dude driving 1 time could break and have the worst exp, the other guy could break a few parts and be 100% extremely happy customer still.
      Now, back to my hoss story (maybe 2 battery packs through it at the time)...It was stock. I also had a stock NIB notorious, took it to the same places to jump (1 battery pack into it)...bent the chassis, bent both shock towers, and bent both rear shocks and also the top shock mount screw for 1 front shock snapped in half. I still enjoy both trucks. So it's very hard to take 1 persons experience as "this is the example we will all experience"

    It doesn't matter - if one says they prefer the sledge, it is like saying they prefer the kraton since it's a copy of the kraton's main design cues. If they they say they prefer the kraton, it becomes a slap to traxxas since they made a worse kraton.

    Hey Mark! Thanks for the vids you make, awesome stuff! A bit off-topic here: did you think about reviewing some of Carisma trucks? Not a lot of info on youtube and most of it is kind of old. Not sure it's going to be interesting to a lot of people, but the price seems decent. And I think their Range Rover looks pretty cool. Happy to hear your thoughts!

  • @tyrellcorp2118
    @tyrellcorp2118 2 года назад +2

    Where did this math come from? $770 + $200 is north of $1000? Also, $200 for a transmitter and receiver? A TQi system is $130. With fair math, a comparable EXB is $900. With a less expensive servo and an ESC/motor from Jenny’s, the price will be $799, just like the Sledge.

  • @lanewhite6320
    @lanewhite6320 2 года назад

    I think they’re all roughly about the same bent chassis on the new sledge rip two tires the only problem I have not had is the pinion spinning off like it has on some and there’s nothing there to block it from hitting the motor wires and then getting it all that mess I have a Mojave EXB same ramp same situation and had a problem with it yet the other arm at EXB bent it so I guess it’s on how you Land and how are you drive them Problem is I can’t get parts for the sledge until next week

    Traxxas fanboy here but I think I'm gonna have to give it to the kraton on cost alone..... I will end up buying the sledge but I feel for somebody that has to save up and make a choice that you're prolly better off just saving the extra 200 bucks and grabbing the Xmaxx with the sledge being 800 bucks that's a little steep but that's just me.

  • @tyrellcorp2118
    @tyrellcorp2118 2 года назад +3

    2 blown tires versus nothing broken on the EXB. The blown servo was an old one and not an EXB part. I think it’s fair to say a lot of people will be upgrading the Traxxas tires. Add $100 to the cost.

  • @harrysrcchannel5651
    @harrysrcchannel5651 2 года назад +1

    What a stupid price comparison. The spectrum is a much better esc with more tuning options, the vxl combo is way overpriced for what you get in return. A decent bashing servo costs 50$. And just buy a 2 or 3 channel radio, plenty good radios about 30 or 40$. So it's actually a lot cheaper than the sledge. Traxxas servo is underpowered, esc is a disaster with the lights off dead and the radio is just overpriced for a 2 channel. Definitely need to replace the servo and esc within several months, maybe weeks so the arrma is much cheaper at the end, even with a m2c chassis replacement. I'm also not convinced with the Traxxas chassis but time is gonna tell. Compare the sledge with a Kronos and a kraton. All with the same tires, same electronics. I'm gonna tell you the result right now. 3 total losses for sure 😃
