    To be honest both of these trucks are a fair bit more durable than this. Kev went to the absolute most extreme in this vid, especially considering the weather and temperature. Cold temperatures make plastics harder and therefore more brittle and prone to breakage. On top of that they were landing on concrete - its pretty much the absolute worst case scenario and a bit unfair, combine the temperature with where they were and what they were doing and ANY RC would break, not just the X-Maxx or XRT. But hey, he did what he said he was gonna do.

      The cold weather doesn't help but my brother did break the chassis on his bandit vxl in a place that was room temperature. He was also hitting big jumps with the chassis also smacking the hard dirt.

      @@kylebeach2316 Ya of course at any temperature anything has its limits. Its just that in the case of plastic, its stress limits are severely lowered in cold temps. Thats all I was saying.

Like you said ... whatever puts a smile on your face. And with my 4 RC vehicles (3 Traxxas) I always have smiles on my face. Thank you for getting me back into RC this year after a 35 year hiatus and thank you for promoting the hobby so well.

    Merry Christmas everyone!! Been waiting, not so patiently, for this video. I knew Kev, and Max, were going to put the XRT through it's proper paces, and you did. Thank you for that! I have the long arm kit on my X-Maxx, the RPM hubs on the rear and new Traxxas hubs on the front, along with the CEN pins. Other than the tires, I am not sure there is a ton of difference in the XRT and the way I have my X-Maxx configured, so I'm looking at next year to grab an XRT, and just like with my X-Maxx, Kev has already given me some ideas on what will need to get upgraded right away.

Think it’s finally time to pull the trigger on an X-Maxx. I am an old schooler that started with the original X-Maxx T-Maxx 1.5. I still use it, but not much is left of stock. I converted it to electric, all RPM parts, thicker full aluminum alloy chassis, good times.

    Allo Kev, great way to start the day. I couldn't believe it when I saw your preview Nd saw the Xmaxx snap but I'm thinking your cold snap had a lot to do with it. It sucks that running an RC in the snow and cold is so much fun but being plastic and battery operated it's like RC kryptonite. I have to say I'm loving this xrt. It's definitely the best of both worlds.

    Great duribality test and video ! Don’t know what kind of snow you get there but if it’s more than 6 inches deep and nice ,soft & powdery , we would run our RC Boats in the snow and put some snow on the ESC & Motor to keep it cool… just make sure its a nice big flat field with no rocks under the snow to rip your prop & rudder off . We would also use those little bags of hand warmers on the batteries to keep them warm. Thanks again for the great videos !!

But The reliability of your Xmaxx, packed down into a controllable package of the xrt, I may just be getting my first traxxas. XRT seems to just need better tires, and a few cheap spares. Sounds like a blast!!

    Yeah it looks like Traxxas are on a winner with the XRT, except on price perhaps. I reckon you might want to do another durability test in a few months when the weather is warmer. I reckon you should look at the XRT design/parts a bit closer and see if you could combine it with the Xmaxx to make an LCG Xmaxx.
    One more thing, you might want to try out those XRT wheels on your Off-road land speed record car. Less balooning.

    Man it's kinda impressive tho lightly treaded tires could grip that well in snow. It seemed to not mind the set slick ramps either lol awesome bash!!!

    Hi keV watch every video you do keep up the good work. Bought a 3s infraction but can't seem to find the right battery for it. Spectrum battery is 105 quid. After something cheaper have you got any advice please?
