    I've been in the hobby for over 40 years and this is what I see....People buy an RC vehicle and TRY to break it and then COMPLAIN when they do. I bought a Mini-Maxx, its a great truck even with just the 2S system.....

    It does 50 mph with a 3s for about 3 run bys before shitting itself and breaking. Is not 3s capable without hundreds of dollars of upgrades. Just watch everyone elses video. They actually did the upgrade. Not one survived. Grom blx now the king.

    To all the people who are complaining about issues with the diffs and the recever box. Let me offer up some context and give you a little reminder about how things work in the industry. First of all this is the first shipment. Why does that matter? Because that's what usually happens with the first batches of cars. The first production runs of some of the best cars ever have been horrible. One example is the mighty x maxx. Back in 2015 they were a legitimate fire hazard when run normally. There are videos on RUclips of people's escs going up in flames from just running normally. It was so bad that traxxas actually had to issue a recall on them to save them from getting sued. They sent out new escs with fusable links that would kill the esc if it shorted out, preventing a massive fire. However that wasn't exactly a good solution. Even if you had a xmaxx that didn't catch fire, they were known for breaking driveshafts and other things. Then traxxas decided to redesign the car and make it 8 s capable. It was a huge improvement and ever since then, they have been running the 8s redesign, and it is considered one of the best rc cars one can buy. Here's another example from the other side of the isle. Arrmas incredible kraton 6s was known for bending its plate chassis under normal use for a while. It was advertised as a 6s basher and bent expensive parts when bashed. Not to mention issues with arrms that exploded if you landed even slightly funny, diffs that had basically a sheer pin in them that constantly broke. And over time and several revisions they have gradually made these issues better, just like the x maxx, and now its just as, if not more, respected and loved by the comunity. My point is that while first impressions are generally everything, a bad first impression on a gen 1 car is not exactly the end of the world. Considering where these cars are made, issues can come about between the approved production prototype and then the ready to release RC car. We sometimes have to give company's the benefit of the doubt when it comes to hiccups in the first gen cars. Do i like this reality. No.
    I would love to live in a world where everything that was ever produced was perfect. First, try. But unfortunately thats not the world we live in. The groms had issues, arrma fixed them. traxxas will follow suit most likely. For those who are upset with the lack of 3s capability out of the box despite the frankly sketchy and unclear advertisement, maybe something went wrong with the diffs. Maybe there was a bad batch of cast material. Maybe things changed from initial release to in store purchase. Originally it was supposed to come with a slipper clutch stock. In the retail models and advertisements, it does not. Maybe it was changed for a reason, maybe traxxas made a mistake taking it out? They upped the price 20 bucks so maybe the next batches will have the slipper assembly in it to help with the diffs. Lets all releax and see what happens, and not run around burning everything down because small issues when running a car out of stock are present.

  • @mattster197
    @mattster197 20 дней назад +3

    They better update their verbage so people stop thinking its upgradable to 3s as is. Lot of upgrading needed or you are blowing diffs.

  • @sosoapy8154
    @sosoapy8154 29 дней назад +2

    Yes, agreed center diff helps a lot. It helps more on landing than taking off jumps as let say your front or back wheels hit the ground first all that torque is being transferred into the center diff then the opposite front or back and saving your gears in the process

    I like the size. The standards for rc should be 3s not to mention this is a bit bigger than grom. It’s making Traxxas look bad that arrma can do it. Traxxas said to upgrade the center diff if youre running 3s. I’m sure everyone want to go to 3s so we are looking at 450$ for a 3s mini maxx. I like Traxxas but they’re too expensive. I’m so thankful that Arrma and other brands like Rlarrlo are around. It’s making Traxxas to come with new things and most importantly price cuts. lol just look at Rlarrlo rog1 it’s 150$ same size as this

    I love my Mojave Grom and will be upgrading it to brushless, but I think this will reign supreme in the mini RC market. It’s expensive, but for the extra $70 over the BLX Groms, you get a larger truck with a 1/10 power system and a much larger battery (3500mah is insane for a small scale. The 1400 that comes in the Groms is pitiful. Even with the brushed Grom, I’m lucky to get more than 10-12 minutes. And that’s not even running it hard).
    I will (hopefully) be getting a Mini Maxx (depending on when my hobby shop is able to get them) and I think it’s going to be my favorite small-scale truck.

      Glad you’re enjoying the Rrlarlo. Just a heads up. If China has its way by getting rid of the middleman and selling everything on AliExpress, direct to consumer, you will not have a middle class in the country any longer. This is a fact, don’t get emotional and respond in an aggressive way just let it sink in a little bit.
      American design products in my opinion are far superior and definitely worth more money. If you wanna go ahead and save a little cash, that’s not a problem I have no problem. I hope you enjoy the product.

      @ParkflyersRC i enjoy chinese rcs until they break past the point of me wanting to fix it. My hoss is retired becuse it was dicontinued and my 2wd rustler is a dud. I stripped it down to a shell. Im not a brand loyalist but traxxas is too expensive. They break just as much if not more than any other brand. Id rather have traxxas cars but the business practices are not good to me. They count on people being trapped in their ecosystem. The mini maxx should at least come w a tqi w gyro but yet they put basic tq radio in it. No emotions involved. Everyone entitled to their own opinions. Now when i retired my hoss and did all the fancy upgrades it was money well spend in restoring it but spending lots of money to make it more durable is too much for me.
