  • Traxxas takes it up a notch with the 8S Xmaxx's DNA in the new XRT! This large scale basher is easy to control, looks great and dominates the landscape. If you're looking for a new 5th - 6th scale basher, the XRT demands your attention. While I'm not primarily a basher, it's nice to try new things. I highly recommend it. Enjoy!

I've got in my collection of bashers an original E Revo on 6s as well as an HPI Savage Flux also on 6s, A Team Associated MGT big block nitro and my Baja 5B SS. I have to admit the Baja has been a shelf queen so far. Im currently at 23 vehicles so far including everything from 1/24th scale (3) to 1/5th scale (1) while everything else is 1/10th and 1/8th scale . Thanks to your review of the XRT it looks like I now have another vehicle for the never ending wish list.

I've been into bashing since the 80's way back with the Marui Big Bear, my first RC vehicle. I think I'm in the minority of bashers who prefer brushed when bashing. This has me contemplating going into the larger scale vehicles.

People spend thousands on bicycles to ride down the road when they've got a car. So I can see this xrt being worthy of that price tag. Build quality is pretty amazing especially seeing all these videos of people absolutely thrashing this thing. Can have alot of fun just about anywhere with one of these things.

    I'm far from a fanboy of Traxxas as I own a stack of other cars from Arrma etc but these large scale electric rigs are pretty good out of the box. Tough, durable and easy (at least for me) to work on and parts are cheap!!
