- Special thanks to Tina for this huge birthday gift!!! You rock, baby!!!
In this video we dig into the new Traxxas XRT to see what makes this offering so different from the Xmaxx. Being a 1/5th scale monster this should prove to be an exciting video.

Just wanted to say I love your channel. You got me into this crazy hobby and I thank you for it. Your knowledge, enthusiasm, and integrity make you my favorite RC content creator. Keep on bashing.
Awesome, thank you. That means a lot to us here!
I also want to say thank you for the amazing content your giving us and also congrats on the newest addition to your awesome collection of RC’s…
Cheers to Tina!!! How sweet when you said she was your best friend. Good stuff buddy.
Thank you. She is the perfect partner and I wouldn’t do any of this without her. I really got lucky finding her. 😎👍
I feel like you wore blue to match your new blue xrp. Well played sir! Awesome wife! Awesome channel! Happy Birthday!
Hey Happy Birthday!! Great review, as usual 🙂
I thought you sounded sick get well soon thanks for the great content
Subscribing to support Tina's efforts. Your content is pretty good too. 😊
Thank you😎👍
Love the videos! Thanks for all of the great advice. Was in your area last summer. Spent 4 days driving around with my son looking for bash spots. Love that area. I'm in Centralia Washington. Pretty wet and sloppy. Happy birthday and congrats on your Chanel 👍
That is awesome!
lighting looks better! blue on blue .. L YEA!! Happy birthday 🎁🎉
Amazing channel you truly rock
Glad you like it 😎👍
Thank you, love your channel. Been trying to decide between a xrt or a kraton 8s. Was and still am leaning towards the Kraton. Appreciate all the work you do!
Both rigs are awesome. I really think you can't go wrong either way. Thanks for sharing.
Phenomenal video!
From what i hear,you are very good man.nice review.nice video.
I thank you for the excellent review. I think this may be the one for me. I'll start saving tomorrow. Should be able to afford it by this time next year.
I am glad you like the XRT. I have both the XRT and X-Maxx. I see you were running in the snow. With the XRT's big inlets. You saw that things got wet. The Traxxas bearings don't like water. You should check the cush drive and diff bearings. While it is apart. You should look at the diff. I think they forgot the lube in the center diff and not enough in the axal diffs. My center diff was dry and axal diff were just wet no lube. I wish Traxxas was 1# and 2#. I don't car for the other cars. 😀
Thanks for the tips!
I know this video is a year old but damn this guys giving her the beans for a first run!!! Awsome video
Aj my guy your wife is on point all the time everyday👌🏿😎✌🏿
That she is. Thanks for commenting. AJ
Awesome on ice🥶❄️💣🔥
Great Review!
I believe the Sledgehammer tires are NOT belted. Traxxas makes no mention of them being belted. And in other videos, they balloon like crazy. Everybody immediately mentions how significantly the Sledgehammers balloon. I reinforced mine with braided steel wires.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Good job on the video 📹 👏 👍 well stated.
Love it
First time I drove X Maxx I knew there was nothing like it.... for traxxas to have another car the xrt that does the same thing to you when you drive it pretty awesome.👍
I can't believe the amount of time my dumb ass wat he'd this came video. Well it's the best XRT video out there and I'm probably gonna watch it again until I get one .
Great video
Thanks!
Another fun video AJJAM. I love your style of reviews. No way can I afford a XRT. I rationalize being limited to spending a lot less by remembering . . . 99% of the time I am bashing by myself. No race tracks in my area. With my 1:10 scale I still have 100% of the fun for 1/2 the cost.
Good video man. I love the lighting change in that room. Not sure when you got the new lighting but looks great. Love my xrt. Great review buddy.
Appreciate it!
🏆👊🤘 Happy Birthday! I’m so happy your wife is so supportive! Tell her Speed said hello and great job on the perfect present! Amazing very fun video! Have a great holiday AJ if I don’t see ya till then. 🎂🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Tina says hi, Speed. Thanks for always being here. Happy Holidays to you too! 😎👍
@@AJJAMStudios I’m late to the party! But dang JC, killer vid!
🏆🔥🏆🔥🏆🔥🏆🔥🏆🔥🏆
Epic job brother!
Can't wait till they come out with new bodies for this R/C so I can custom paint it like my X-Maxx bodies
The review I was waiting for! AJ, not sure if you guys would be interested or not, but Instagram reels with the clips you guys have for the bashing would make a great success specially if you tag the companies and put the hashtags as well.
Would create a whole new audience and most likely bring new people to the channel and hobby
Appreciate all the reviews!!Have seen most of yours AJ. Very insightful!! Noticing your cars/trucks on the shelves aren’t stored on a block or stand underneath the chassis. Might help with wheel balance performance going forward? (Flat spots on tires from storage and all.) Just throwing that out…I have found it really helps. Keep up the good work!!
You're correct on that, the tires can suffer flat spots if left for a while on the tires. Thanks for sharing that insight.
First.... and last run. LOL Man, what a bash! :) Covered all the bases. I just ordered the exact same car.
Nice!!
I already have an Xmaxx. I see one of these in my future very soon 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
Yes we saw how well your outfit matched your present!! Happy Birthday bro!! Wondering if this truck will get another chance to climb from the number 3 slot when weather permits? Can't wait to see you run it in the raised bowl like the Kraton videos!! All in all there kind sir, Great video and keep them coming!!!
There is always room for a car or truck to move up. Only time will tell if this one can manage to hit the top spot. It is a hell of a truck.
Im curious what you will think after running the XRT and Kraton 8S (on the same voltage) bwck to back in dirt and grass (no snow).
We haven't had the opportunity to run the XRT on dirt yet. We too are excited to compare them. Thanks for commenting.
Hey yo I'm a new subscriber to your CZcams shows and I really like shows over all the shows I'm subscribed to on CZcams because you give it much more detailed information on the R/C great work yo 👍
Awesome thank you!
The Xmaxx tires look great on the XRT.
Love your review rating system. New to the RC world & they are really helpful. I'd share your page to anyone looking to get into or wanting to get real reviews on RC. I do have my eye on this baby, but it will need to sit for a min
Awesome, Thanks for sharing. 😎👍
Really loving my XRT as well. Have you tried the light kit? I mounted the rear light with a homemade bracket attached to the rear shock towers. Reamed a couple holes in the rear body. Ended up looking like corvette lights...lol. All that so I wouldn't have to constantly plug it in again and again when popping the body off. Really enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing
Subbed and liked! I’m debating between the xrt and xrt ultimate! What batteries are those and can I fit them on a stick xrt without any mods or soldering? This is my first rc and don’t know anything about soldering and connectors
I really like my XRT. It has been the most durable RC I've ever had out of the box indeed. It just needs better tires and an ESC. Mine has the MMX8S and stock motor/gearing for much easier backflips and air control. I'm using bigger duratrax lockup tires. Great video as usual 👍
Just bought the XRT. I also bought the Hobby Wing Max 6 Combo with the 1650 kv motor. What would be a couple of gear ratio that you would recommend? Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks
Run the stock gear and check temps. Then the speed gearing and check again. That should give you a base line. You should be able to math out a good gearing from there. Thanks for asking. 😎👍
cool video. sorry if I missed it but what battiers do you use? I also liked your Bigrock video. I have the blue body version that came out in 2019. Fun truck for sure
Those tires are absurdly unbalanced!!! Ooooooooof!
Yes they are. We now have the Sledghammers on it and they run smooth.
Might as well try the speed gearing now while its cold out!
Good Video! Do you have a link for those batteries please! Thank again for all you do for the Hobbies
In the description
Great video!!
One comment: Not sure the XRT tires are belted..
Love your channel. What's the part number on those tires please
Great channel! Curious...do you think those tires were out of balance from sitting on the shelf flattening??
Interesting comment. In the RAF vehicles in storage/not being used had chalk marks on the Tyres and the Land rovers etc. were moved forwards and backwards regularly (checking the chalk marks) to avoid 'flattening' the tyres.
Greta channel and great wife thank you!
I am between a Kraton 8s and this. Any recommendations?
Both are cool. Pick the one you can’t take your eyes off. If it works for you…it works 😎👍
Great content as per usual 👍👍👍
I bought an XRT I'm still yet to unbox it after 3 weeks now. I'm still fooling around with my X-Maxx lol
Shout out to Tina!
Good video brother
Don't think them Sledgehammer tires are belted my man, I know you cat wait to run that beast in the dirt!
See ya round bro
Thanks for the info. I appreciate the confirmation. Love your channel. AJ
@@AJJAMStudioslove yours as well brother👍
Dude I recognize 7 mile when I see it. We should get together and rally.
Great Video AJ, do you know when you will release the video with the belted tires?
Subscribed to your channel with all the notification. Thanks for all the videos.
We’ve been informed the stock tires are not belted but I can’t wait to test them. The snow is almost gone and we’ll get after it as soon as we can. Thanks for asking. 😎👍
Dayum you've got an amazing wife yo. Wished I had a wife like that buy me an R/C
Tina loved your comment. Thank you very much!
What’s a good fast rc truck that’s not super expensive?
Were those tracks in Oregon?
Hi AJJAM
I just got an XRT with Traxxas link
Have you got some things to say about the Traxxas link?
And why dont you have an Vorza Flux on your canal? 😊😊
Michael from Denmark
Hello from the US. The Link system works pretty good, but I've had issues when syncing multiple cars to it. Also, I'm not a fan of having to set my RC up with my phone. Sometimes I just want to twist a knob and get on with it. Also, as far as the Vorza goes, we can't afford every RC on the market on my salary. We are doing our best as it is. Thanks for asking. AJ
❤❤❤❤❤🤙😊
Is it just me, but for $1k I feel we should get Belted tires. I don't own any Traxxas RCs, but this 1 is heavily on my consideration list this year. But have a small fortune in Spectrum batteries
It comes with belted tires, but with our snow we swapped to the Xmaxx tires for the video shoot. The stock tires didn't do much in the snow.
Hi AJ. It seems like your wife has great taste. Im looking to get into rc cars as a hobby and to be hunest with you this is exactly the rc car im looking to get..so im asking you are the Traxxas xrt good for a beginner car?
Which one to choose between X-maxx and XRT?
We say look into both of them and pick the one that calls to you. Both are cool😎👍
Get your tires off the shelf for long term storage. You'll create flat spots in your foams by storing them that way.
Surprised that you haven't got any Paddle Tyres to put-on to your cars in Winter, they're Awesome for Snow-Running, as you probably already know, they give your cars superior grip in those conditions !!
Good call!
Its a plastic Chassis from XRT better than a Alu Chassis from the Sledge?
Further testing will bear this question out. I do think plastic is more malleable but it can snap with enough impact. Metal bends and likes to stay bent.
You said you’re from the northwest and you said it was 8° out where exactly are you in the northwest?
👍🏾👍🏾
Please tell me who plays the song on your video
It’s in the description.
Some of the part numbers are wrong. You need to order ones with the letter at end as some are incorrect with just the number
agreed. This is def not a Kraton 8s killer.
it dose not come with the bluetooth module . that is just a cover covering the port the module goes in...
Is there a brutal review for this coming up?
The XRT now has new rims and tires that resembles the X-maxx
Right? The only issue is, they didn't come with the truck...bummer, LOL. They do work well in the snow, however; they'd work better if they were balanced. 😎👍
Awesome to have a partner that you can rely on !.. Don’t know what l would do without mine she is my world threw some nasty tuff things and if things are going good she is there . Just had are 12 anniversary 🎉❤💯💋🔥.
Right on! Congrats. And thanks for commenting. 😎👍
I'm not so sure the sledgehammer tires are belted.
Fun. Meh 6/10 its fun but, not K8 fun.
Durable. Meh 7/10 cracked 2 lowers the second run.
Worth the money? No not at all. You have to upgrade the Servo right off the bat as i broke mine on the second pack. upgrade the power system right off the bat as it majorly lacks in power and gets very hot very quick on stock gearing, upgrade the radio right off the bat as it had very poor response and poor range. Rating 4/10
Compared to a Kraton 8s, K8 wins in every category straight outta the box.
Straight outta the box in my collection it ranks very low.
Total score 17/30
K8 is still king here too. We have not suffered the issues you have. I wish you had better luck with yours. Thanks for sharing 😎👍
@@AJJAMStudios lots of people on yt have as well. What’s funny is I think you bashed yours harder than I did mine and it didn’t survive well.
Take a look at my XRT videos.
Also,Traxxas parts are cheap
