I bought another Traxxas RC today myself. I’ve been looking at the Raptor R all month because that sale was pretty good for $399 and today. I noticed it went back up to $499 but one store had it left and they only had one so I jumped on it. I have so many RC’s. I have not used yet so I’m trying to be more sensible with it lol but I had to get it make that number 112 since June 15 yes I’m keeping track lol and yes, I have some shorts up of most of them except the ones maybe from the last week or so
Awesome. I love my XRT but I don’t drive it anywhere near this extreme. 😂 I’m always afraid I’ll break something. So for me it’s usually just blasting through the yard. These are a lot of fun. But you need lots of room to enjoy them.
You will break something trust me.I have the XRT Ultimate it was 1500. List of things that I've broke in a couple months not even jumping it that high. Center drive shaft broke in half. Servo broke. Both front and rear bulkheads broke front and rear diff gears. Center diff gears. 2cv axle bent.
@juniorbeginnerbeginner1790 Xrt Ultimate is a great rig... Got one myself, but I wouldn't use it for hardcore bashing. Standard Xrt and Xmaxx do just fine!
ultimate is a huge rip off and more aluminum adds more weight that’s why u would break more parts then on a standard Xrt. I’ve been running mine hard as hell yet to break anything
@@Improvise_Adapt_0vercome I agree. Regardless of what junior thinks, I doubt mine will break. I’ve had my regular version XRT since September of 2023 and haven’t broken anything. I do not bash mine hard at all. In the nearly 40 years I’ve been in the hobby on and off, I’ve rarely ever broken any of my RC cars. I just blast them around and drive them normally. However I do rather enjoy seeing what they can do under harsh bashing sessions like what thunder puts them through. 😂🍻
I wish Traxxas made a truck with the electronics and powertrain layout of a Sledge but with the plastic chassis and shock tower/bulkheads of the Maxx series.
Well the Maxx Slash has the Sledge electronics but not the drivetrain layout. That said I love my Maxx Slash way more than my Sledge. Have a great day.
Awesome episode Team Thunder! I’m curious would the bump flip ramp be better with two tires? Stabilizing the corners? Again just curious if you’ve tried and if that’s better or worse. Thanks!!!
@@myharryface Thank you brother! Yes double tires make higher bumpflips and they are awesome! I just need a bigger piece of wood for 2 tires. Happy New Year brother! 💪🏆🏆⚡️⚡️⚡️
@@thunderrc Though rare, i expect some sales later from Traxxas Would like to know how much product they moved during the sale. I did grab a UDR. I Think its their best scale build its just not a basher its a great representation of a desert racer / short course.
@myharryface Yes, I've noticed Horizon has been making them normal price. I just got email stating the mini B and T will be 119 for brushed and 199 for brushless at normal sale price. Asdociated apex2 cars need to come down since they are bushings and fake shocks. I could make do with bushings but not the Chinese style shocks need to go. Even Chinese are offering oil shocks on many of thier cars. Makes them pretty expensive once you bring it up to other brand car specs. And add rally kits like i want. HPI 1/8 rally is 250 for maverick line that is also brushless. Maybe comparing apples to oranges but its not a bad car.

hell yah dude, best XRT content on YT🤘
That bash was epic and the Magma tires really make the XRT look so much more off-roady. I gotta get myself some for my rig.
Heck yeah bro! The Magma tires are awesome on the XRT! They are my new favorite tire for sure!!! You need to get some asap! 💪🏆🏆⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Another great session!
Awesome video as always lovey!💙
Thank you so much lovey!!💙💙💙Your filming was amazing!
Love hey, as beautiful as an XRT inverted.
Great Video. Nice looking XRT Thunder.
@@gamedogrc Thank you brother! 💪🏆⚡️⚡️
@thunderrc always bro. I love watching your vids.
Just put standard X-Maxx wheels on mine last night, what a blast!👍
What a beast of a large scale. Saw one in the hobby shop and wanted it instantly. If i buy it i have to sell some stuff and put that towards it
Nothing like a day in the dirt!👍😁😎✌️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
@@CM-ig2pf Absolutely bro! 💪⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆⚡️
I'm glad I have a mute button. Please no music!
I love how you control it in mid flight. Looks like a lot of fun for sure!

Diff cases are a must for those 1/5 scales. I wish it would come with a 1100 KV, just a bit more punch. Excellent bump flips as always
@@jagergerg9771 Yes absolutely those diff cases are a huge must! Thanks bro! 💪🏆⚡️⚡️
I just replace the stock with Castle Mamba XLX2

Do you like these wheels more than the sledgehammers? What shock oil are you running?
Great video. What do you think are out of the box the better car. Xmaxx or XRT
Thanks bro! Both trucks out of the box are awesome! XMAxx is the toughest basher no doubt!
@@thunderrc thanks a lot
Nice video . Are those stock shocks ?
@@Shellzwick Thanks! Yes the shocks are stock
Why does my xrt break all the time i mran all the time 😊
Yo thunder Rc guest what. Somebody got a XRT ultimate like mine they got it up at 93mph with belted tires on it
Do you ever go bash In Houston?
Mine woukd have broke in 5mins
I dragged my feet and missed the sale.😭 It was to close to Christmas and taxes and car repair.
Awe man that’s a bummer. Oh well there are more rc opportunities in the future!

Many times Traxxas sales turn into the new normal price. Keep an eye on it in another month.
