Large Scale BASH! The new 8S Traxxas XRT sets the bar HIGH! - FULL REVIEW
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 10. 2022
- 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!

Sickest RC action segments on CZcams period!
Wow! That's such a huge compliment coming from you! Thanks man!
Absolutely seconded. The music section was incredibly good. Really admire your composition skills, Matt. Nailed it with this one. Nice.
Least favorite part of the video
Well, you're definitely in the minority there.
@@scalebuildersguild is the Xrt the next gen of xmaxx ?
I’m soooo glad large scale is making somewhat of a comeback! Us X-maxx owners have been waiting for something like this for a very long time. Yeah, the Sledge was cool…..just not X-maxx cool. This is like the Sledge and X-maxx had a baby and fed it very well, absolute BEAST!
It's been around along time just a rip-off arrma Kraton 🥱
@@thomasthetankengine7153 not even close to arrma it's based on the xmaxx platform
You might want to watch this video before saying that. 😆
Us xmaxx owner been waiting for something like this??.. umm. Yea us real 8s owners have Xmaxx, kraton and outkast 8s. Dbxl 2.0 convert to 8s. Where have you been.
Well not only US xmaxx owners I can guarantee
Awesome video! Very very in depth. Good to see more large scale stuff!
Awesome video as usual, great to see you having fun..... keep em coming 👍
That thing is a beast. I love the way it throws dirt as it launches away and those jumps are so awesome
XRT looks like a BEAST!! Kind of looks like an e-revo on steroids!!
Exactly what I see !
That was one absolutely awesome video. It was entertaining, informative, not only ten minutes like others do.
Following you for almost a year , now I know it was a great decision to subscribe.
Please more of this giant beast 👍
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Great review per usual. Nice to see someone being sensible with one of these rigs instead of straight up abusing it.
I completely agree!!
Thank you! Although, it's a basher... it's not fun for me to completely trash something... just not how I roll!
เหธงกุไปไหน
When Traxxas says you can not brake this, that its the ultimate basher, people will test it out
That thing nearly used all of the squares, it is huge. Great video again Matt. Best basher driving with one hand trophy quality too.
Loving your Scale Bashers Guild excursions Matt… awesome camerawork and sound track in the middle section and love the real world driving in the later section… that def looks more like my driving!
Glad to receive someone’s input that actually has it on hand.
Thank you for this video, nice introduce overall. Looks very nice and as much i love my X-Maxx this temptating strongly 😂 that cinematic bashing section is pure art and those autumn colors looked sooooo good. Was fun hear your laughing out loud during bash and it tells how fun this size cars are. Well done part time "Bashing guilder's build". 😃💪
That's so nice of you to say! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow Matt this video is on a whole new level and I’m only half way through. Amazing shots and great to see traxxas going even bigger🤣 keep up the amazing work!
Thank you!
Plastic chassis.....make sure to buy 2 of every part cause I'm sure after every run something will break like the revo
@@gen.arnavpoe4633 This is essentially a low CG Xmaxx, which is widely regarded as one of the toughest RC's out there.
I like how when it goes into the tall grass it just plows it all down... hahaha! Great vid!
Thanks for watching Mark! I had such a fun time filming this!
You also did a great job with your stream and video 👍
Awesome review as always. Cinematic footage is brilliant. Love your channel 👍🏼😊
Thanks!
Awesome truck and review definitely love my XMAXX Thanks for the video
definitely love seeing the large scale bashing rcs as well! keep up great videos my friend!
Thanks, will do!
I do enjoy watching you do these videos too! I'm more of the crawler person but like you said, every once in a while its fun to go out and bash! It gets the blood and adrenaline pumping trying to control something at those speeds.
Agreed!
Facts
Found the greatest way to wake up early on a Friday morning - watching your new vid !! - once again you nailed the music/song to go with the video - perfect match - even got a chuckle how you involved the software upgrades ! always cracks me up how people complain about that procedure but also complain about issues that can be corrected by the software and they don't do it - Thanks for starting my day off right !! Now to figure out how to sneak a new XRT into the house !! lol
Thanks and Happy Friday!
Oh man this is awesome!! Great video!
Great video as always, glad you have such great weather, looks amazing in the edit :)
Seems like a solid truck, time will tell how it holds up.
Thank you my friend! I must say, I've missed seeing new content from you. Hope all is well!
Absolutely phenomenal job on this video you are getting very good at these release videos it's going to be hard for anyone to match what you have done hands down
Wow! Thank you!
Great information on This Monster! Love it! 💯
Great review. I didn't even know this truck was coming. Interesting direction for Traxxas to take the Xmaxx chassis/dna.
Superb video Matt👍 This is really turning into Scale Bashers Guild😆 I thought you were done after that tree planting😱 The first one that is.
Nice comment. Hope you doin good buddy 👍
I agree I’m more into old Tamiya stuff and scale crawlers but bashing something every once in a while is a blast.
Welcome to the all new traxxas tree cutter... great video Matt, looks like traxxas knocked it out the pack with this one. Looks like a home run. John
Such an epic video review. You never leave anything out. The truck isn't bad either. I can't wait to get mine!
Thanks!
Awesome video footage! Really well done.
Outstanding. Thank you for this review! I have a very similar driving style and I very much appreciate your review style as well, so seeing a vehicle like THIS reviewed by YOU - well it’s the best of all worlds for me. Thanks again and have a wonderful day!
Thank you! That's high praise indeed... glad you enjoyed it!
Great to see someone have fun with it and not bet the snot out of it awesome
Great stuff Matt. I especially liked the running footage. I've always said "you should be the guy for rc promo/marketing footage". You tend to make everything look awesome.
I appreciate that!
Im really loving the large scale rc stuff. I have an Axial Yeti XL kit and dtive the hell out of it. Hopefully more companies come out with more large scale.
Great action footage. Well done.
Outstanding video, sir!
Thank you kindly!
What a great video! Great presentation! Great footage as well!
Your action shots of this truck were some of the best I have ever seen, great shots with great editing made this video a thing of beauty. I don't own a RC car yet but I enjoy watching videos like this so you now have a new subscriber.
Glad you like the video and welcome to the channel!
Such a cool montage, awesome video!!
Glad you liked it!
Thats an awesome new truck u got there matt! Ive been wantin an xmaxx, but u may have me sold on this one lol. Im more of a crawler guy, but bashin is fun from time to time. Always great to see u bring in new releases on the channel, no matter if its crawler or basher related
Thank you! I'm glad people seem to like the bashing videos, because I'm like you... they're both fun!
Was surprised to see you get one of these as it is really outside your normal "zone" but Im so glad to see you enjoy going fast and even consider keeping this truggy long term. I was LITERALLY about to go out and buy my first X-Maxx today...now I feel I should wait.
Although scale is my main focus, I love exploring other aspects of the RC world, and sharing with my subscribers. I think Traxxas appreciates my videos and I know that in turn they might get new customers. Thanks for watching!
BASHING? Heck yeah!!! Love it!!!
I really enjoyed this video Matt, great review. 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.
Sounds like quite the collection! You must have a lot of space.. which I'm very envious of!
that great improvement from Traxxas they never disappoint
Your driving segments always look like something out of an advertisement. it's bloody amazing🔥
Glad you think so!
Well done, sir. I am continually impressed with your running footage skills! 👍✌️
Thank you very much!
Scale Basher's Guild showing off his EPIC RC action music video editing skills again. So Awesome!
Wow, thanks!
Looks similar similar to my Arrma Kraton, but more raced out like a stadium track! Great video that music was perfect!
Wow Matt, I'm not even into bashers and still enjoyed the heck out of this video. GREAT music selection!!!!
Super nice driving footage conpared to the regular ”Gopro on the transmitter” stuff… pleasure to watch! Thanks for going the extra mile!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's crazy getting on CZcams and seeing a flood of videos for a new truck! I had to click on yours first for that awesome running footage.
Thank you!
Arrma fan boys punching the air 🤣🤣🤣
No problem with having fun and being the Basher, always nice to have variety! Though honestly, I am subscribed for your artistic abilities more than your driving.
Fair enough! I know driving isn't my strongest talent.
That thing looks sick
Loved the review. I think you have some of the best camerawork and editing in the RC scene. I love the look of this vehicle, even though I lean towards 1:10 and 1:8 scale. 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.
Thank you very much!
@@scalebuildersguild Thanks for the great content you provide for the community. I think a lot of people forget what goes into shooting and editing content to post.
Every video makes me want this car more and more.
Great review. Just hearing you laugh while driving it means it's worth it. I have a Senton that I like to rip around when not crawling. Great way to relax and not get burnt out in the hobby.
Gonna need a second job to get one of these and a SCX6...
Agreed! Sometimes it's just nice to get out and have a little stupid fun 😂! Thanks for watching!
AH damn, that thing is crazy! Please let a brother run a pack!
This is a cool vehicle. It is nice to see large scale getting some love. I can’t fathom spending $1000 on an RC though. I have bought real cars for less. Looks like an awfully good time though. Your laughter while driving it really conveys that feeling. It does seem very easy to drive
I agree to an extent. It is a hobby. Kinda like golf, fishing, and hunting which I've got friends that have thousands upon thousands wrapped up into those hobbies. 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.
This is one awesome truck! It reminds me of a 1/5 scale Traxxas Erevo 2.0 if they ever made one.
I think that this will end up being the best 1/5 scale truck out there.
Great review and action shots👍
Awesome video
I do wish the tires were slightly wider. But I'm very happy with this XRT, it performs so well.
Awesome video! Action sequences were epic!
I absolutely love how far RC cars have come since the mid 80's with Tamiya etc. ( showing my age lol) The durability and power these things have out of the box is mind blowing!!
I own both the X-Maxx 8s and XRT and absolutely love them. Highly recommend both and the smile you'll have will be huge!
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!!
A Hobbywing Max-6 esc is a must do as it wakes the trucks up a lot!!
They attract a lot of attention too...just don't hit anyone with them...
Hmm, Super Bashing Guild? Another awesome video. I still say your bashing vids are better than most of what manufacturers put out. Well done sir
Glad you like them!
Sick video 🙏👍
Glad you enjoyed!
Man what a very professional vid
Thank you!
Great looking truck from Traxxas. Glad to see you bashing Matt. It definitely has its place. I enjoy both aspects of the rc world. You really should try to drive an Xmas. It’s a totally awesome experience and a great handling monster truck. Hope to see more videos of you and your new toy.
I've decided to buy my first RC truck and I went with this model I've watch a ton of videos and seen a ton of crazy people just bashing the heck out of this massive beast of a machine its defiantly not the RC car I grew up playing with I absolutely can't wait to try mine out I wanted to say thanks for the detailed review and yes thanks for not just bashing it but I will say that makes me fill better about the quality of the truck this is most likely a start to a very expensive hobby for me thanks for uploading the video and sharing your thoughts
Glad I could help! Enjoy the XRT and welcome to the hobby!
That is going to whip out my whole Xmas budget
I changed the gearing on my UDR to the maximum ‘recommended’ by Traxxas on the pinion. I don’t remember what I put in. It’s stupid scary to drive now. Tons of fun but scary for sure. If I didn’t have the XO-1, UDR and an SCX6 (hopefully a second soon) I’d snag up one of these XRT’s in a heartbeat. Thanks for the killer video as usual!!
I don't know if you could have done a better job selling this thing. Great video!!!!
Thank you!
Come on. This is a great XRT review vdo man! I have ordered this one because of you;) Thanks for sharing.
Hope you like it! Thanks for watching!
good gravy that product box!
Good job brother
Power line trails rock for high speed fun with the 1/8 plus stuff. Size does matter, I made a Kyosho truggy into a fast fun speed run/bash machine. This could be a sweet upgrade
just picked this up as my first rc and i love it so far
Wow, you jumped in with both feet! Enjoy!
Castle creates...Castle creation ✨️ 🤯
Do you think the air vents will pose a problem when dirt racing/bashing
That’s definitely one bad ass rig! I can see why you would need them wheelies 😂 what a beast!
Great music choice!
Agreed. Love scale rigs but every now and then ya gotta rip. Kick up some dirt, air it out. Puts a really big smile to your face.
Totally enjoyed the video.
Couldn't agree more!
That was a cool running video
I seriously need to buy one!
I love scale, I love bashers, speed runners, large scale. I spend a good bit of time with my 7 year old building out scale rigs for us together, adding drivers, etc. I also spend a good bit of time pushing large piles of dirt around on my property with a backhoe so I can do big air stunts with my other toys :)
So... you like it all? 😉 Would love to have a property large enough for that kind of fun!
With all the laughs it sounded like you sure enjoyed driving it.
And that’s what it’s all about!
Been wanting an XMAXX for a while, this might replace it on the top of my wish list.
Go for it!
Can't wait to shoplift one from my local hobby shop
Just slip it under your hat!
😂
😂
Looks good. Too big for me, but much respect to Traxxas for not LYING about the scale.
Such a cool car. 😎
Great video ,do you know if they make those tires for the SLEDGE???
Not yet, but here's hoping!
Just found your channel. Thanks for the info. I pulled the trigger on a machete this summer and regret not spending the money on a quality traxxas.
Welcome to the channel and thanks for watching!
I hope Traxxas keeps sending you vehicles I like your Vids
Thank you!
This thing is awesome. One day i will own one. It was really cool to see, and was good video work with the jump, where you could see the TSM working its magic. Its similar in concept to stability control, in a real vehicle. I love having, and using TSM on my Stampede VXL 2wd, even if i feel like I’m cheating 😂
Gorgeous car
Great running footage you killed it. Get a bigger work shop cause Traxxas is going to be sending you all the new release’s and yes l know they do already. 👍🏼👊🏻💪🏻
Supreme basher guild
Grear job on the moving camera shots
Thank you!
Never been interested in bashing but this thing really has my attention 🤔🤔😍. You never know i might end up like you Matt and get myself a 5B as well 😜😂.
Awesome video, you handle that truck like it was a Scalextric 😉👍🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Thank you!
WoW 🤨😬 Traxxas Baby 🥰✌
That’s powerful
Be cool to see you make that chassis and tires “Scale” would that be a 1:4 Body to get those wheels under fenders?
This truggie is going to be awesome! It's an Xmaxx truggie!
