Yes Traxxas Rally is awesome. I bought the brushed one and had a 3800 Castle set already. Bought a clutch and aluminum drive shaft and the rest is history. Great video great fun. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for watching and for leaving us a comment. As for the car, even bone stock it drives so well it's worth the price even without upgrading to a 3s system.
Should have brought out the MJX hypergo rally car against the traxxas rally car? Love the channel Johnny Crash (rek rc) .. Should lay down some chalk or duct tape to mark the 132' finish line for us the viewers
Funny you'd mention that car. It's going to be in the next video against the new Rlaarlo rally car, as well as this car will be also! I like the duct tape idea BTW. Good thinking.
I think about buying this car also because I have original vxl it’s old over 10 years needing diffs ect I have plenty of 3s systems imagine how good this car was when it came out there nothing that performed close that wasn’t well over a 1000 bucks .
Even as a 2s stock system I was impressed by how well it drove. Other than the lacking speed it was perfect right out of the box. Adding a bit of speed wasn't even necessary, but just made it that much better.
Nice video. I wanna see this vs the QuantumRX, the Rlaarlo and rhe MJX rally Traxxas still doent inspire joy especially with that whole Jato thing, but i wont lie, this looks fun
The Rally car is sick but I have to say I’m just as impressed with the little Losi… Adam done a great job setting that thing up and driving it… Sorry Traxxas I’m a bit of a Losi fan boi when it comes to racing 😂 Traxxas did do a great job with the Rally car and you done a great job driving it…That was some awesome racing guys👍🏻🤘🏻
while the Traxxas rally is a great car, I will say that you drove the other cars wrong. just because you have 2x the speed and power, doesn't mean you should use it all at once . especially not on dirt. you will slide and spin out 90% of the time and ultimately result in slower laps
This video was so much fun making. At first I hadn't planned a video for this car at all. I originally only bought it as a dance partner for the new rlaarlo rally car, but as soon as I realized how good it was, we got to work making it a video of its own immediately!
With how well that car handles, and how nice it is to drive, yes, it's worth it even as a 2s. Speed is great, but it isn't everything. The way that car makes you feel driving it transcends the speed anyways. If you want more speed, it's easy enough to add more.
The VXL sucks also. You can't run it on 3s without adding fans and the fans only help the thermal shutdowns. The esc is still underpowered and lacks programming options. Lower power in this video was actually an advantage to make up for poor trigger control in the low traction surface and the light weight and lcg weight helped on the pavement. I was about to buy the Traxxas or CEN rally car until the Rlaarlo was announced. Now I'm gonna wait and see if it's decent. I really hope it is because i hate the idea of buying another Traxxass. My Xmaxx manages to irritate me to the point i have driven it once since the Redcat Vigilante was released. Those self removing bodies are a deal breaker for me after chasing my Xmaxx and and putting it's body back on 376,000,000 times.
I have good news. We have the new Rlaarlo, and it's quite good! It's our next video and we put it head to head against every big name we have available to us, and it stomped all of them, it's incredible what it can do!
One of our guys does a lot of nitro. If you go back through the videos a bit you'll see a thumbnail of a bunch of cars in a drag race, that's a lot of nitro vs electric in that video.
To think, I only bought it as a sparring partner for the new rlaarlo rally car, but as soon as we realized how good this car actually is, we immediately began working on a video for it on the fly, while filming a separate video for the new rlaarlo.
The hot hatch rally car design is so boring and overdone. It's really my only gripe with this. Same with the Rlaarlo. Any retro Group 4, B, N, or 90's/00's subaru shell would be miles better aesthetically IMO.
Trust me, I have both, and we race them both in the next video. We've actually got our Rlaarlo video finished filming, now just have to edit and wait for Rlaarlo to give the green light to publish the video. Get ready for a heck of a shootout between the Rlaarlo and every big name in the hobby.
Im not a traxxas fan at all bro. I got team associated, tekno, team corally stuff but i got the rally bl2s with a hw10bl120 G1 running 4s with center diff and that thing still handles amazingly and HD diffs r holding up so im impressed

I think 3800KV would be just about perfect for this car even on the stock gearing.
Wanna see this vs the up coming Rlaarlo XTS F10 Rally
Your wish shall be granted, and it's a heck of a shootout!
Might as well toss in the mini rally mjx as well @@Rek_Rc
@@Rek_RcCan’t wait to see how well the RLAARLO performs against the Traxxas…
@@johnellefaoh, we did!
i was thinking of buying the traxxas ST rally VXL ... but now im gonna wait for the rlaarlo xts f10 rally
All i can say about this is you have the best place to run those things competitively.
We are very lucky to have the locations we do nearby and very RC friendly.
There you go again with epic footage and cinematography! Another high quality RC is added to my wish list. Thanks.

Very impressive Rally car. I was quite impressed how you did the upgrade to the electronics out in the wild. Great job and awesome RC.
Sometimes certain cars are very simplistic and user friendly that way. Lucky for us this was one of them.
I rocked the rally for years when it came out . Over 10 years ago . Parma was rc body company I have 55 Chevy with foams

Just bought the vxl. Freakin amazing
They really do handle incredibly well!

Yeah Adam made the cheap little truck into something awesome!

Great review 🙌
Thank you, I really appreciate you taking a sec to let us know! Stuff like that puts the wind in our sails.
Another awesome video. Good job
Thank you! We really appreciate that! 🙏
The Rally car is very good looks like it handles really well too.
It does handle extremely well!
3:21 sick race the hyper go rally car. xD
It's making an appearance in the new Rlaarlo rally car video. This AND the MJX
The arrma typhon 3s handles sooooo good
They sure do! I like the vorteks also
AMAZING vid ❤
Thank you! That car was a blast to film with
Been waiting to see this! 👍

Hey great video. Do you think its worth it even on 2s. I dont like the vxl. It gets to hot .

@Rek_Rc thanks a lot
So im not the only one loving the new arrma Grom Granite wheels on my 1/10 onroad rally car. I also run the v100 chevy c10 body hah
Great vid 🎉
Thank you, I appreciate you checking it out!
rally car is awesome 👌 love rally cars 👍👍😎😎
Me too! Rally and SCT are my favorite types. I think we'll have to do a rally vs SCT challenge soon!
mille grazie amico now from munich germay very interessant and cool video my buddy
Hello there in Munich! Thank you for the kind words!

@@Rek_Rc Sounds like Rlaarlo are slowly becoming a big name brand which is excellent.
Love how the include a centre diff in these new models.
Excellent 😊
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Can you do nitro cars ❤i just got the slayer pro in nitro
One of our guys does a lot of nitro. If you go back through the videos a bit you'll see a thumbnail of a bunch of cars in a drag race, that's a lot of nitro vs electric in that video.
my like for working on street wow
Some cars are just that easy to work on, this was one such car
I to don't understand how it's so good. I have 2 cuz there so good 🏎️🤘
Original body even bigger
@@RcPlayer-tt2vw guess I'm late to the party... Again 🙄😂
@RcPlayer-tt2vw cheese and rice! Guess I live under a rock 😂 now that I'm all caught up.... Yeah it's a good car for as old as it is 😂
Don't feel bad. I passed on this car for years, now I'm kicking myself for having done so.
To think, I only bought it as a sparring partner for the new rlaarlo rally car, but as soon as we realized how good this car actually is, we immediately began working on a video for it on the fly, while filming a separate video for the new rlaarlo.
Dude you are using a rally planted to the floor made for handling car against monster trucks l ao
Wait until the next video when it's Rally vs the brand new Rlaarlo Rally car.
Not as good as rlaarlo?
I'm some way yes, other ways no.
It’s cool…but why a fiesta? Least favorite car of all time.
The hot hatch rally car design is so boring and overdone. It's really my only gripe with this. Same with the Rlaarlo. Any retro Group 4, B, N, or 90's/00's subaru shell would be miles better aesthetically IMO.
I'd love an old Audi Quattro RC rally car, but one that does justice to the original.
Wait till you drive the new Rlaarlo XTS rally. It will blow that trashass,oops I mean traxxas away. Lol
Trust me, I have both, and we race them both in the next video. We've actually got our Rlaarlo video finished filming, now just have to edit and wait for Rlaarlo to give the green light to publish the video. Get ready for a heck of a shootout between the Rlaarlo and every big name in the hobby.
@Rek_Rc Epic! I can't wait to see that video man. Im ordering a carbon version as soon as they launch.
Just buy a wr8 all traxxas stuff is garbage
Im not a traxxas fan at all bro. I got team associated, tekno, team corally stuff but i got the rally bl2s with a hw10bl120 G1 running 4s with center diff and that thing still handles amazingly and HD diffs r holding up so im impressed
