- Welcome back to Thunder RC! In this episode I take out a brand new completely stock Traxxas XRT and send it to the moon off the Death Ramp #2! Can this $1000 Dollar RC car take this kind of abuse? Wait and see! What are the breakages and how bad are they? At the end of this session you decide if the Traxxas XRT is worth $1000. Enjoy! #rc #traxxas
2:39 Literally flying with the bird 😂
Sick bash bro 🔥
Ha ha we fly with the birds here at Thunder!
Dude - that intro: _Perfect_ gyro control in the air, that was awesome!
Truly appreciate it brother I was actually shocked myself ha ha
Sweet brother,
Yeah I prefer the Xmaxx as well I just laugh when I run it, but I already have a M2Cified Kraton 8s so no need IMHO for me to get a XRT.
New ramp geometry looks perfect, better gradual slope in the beginning #Sender!
Thank you brother yeah, I love this ramp so much. It’s way better than my old one. Yeah the xmaxxs is so awesome, I am really liking this XRT, though man such a fun truck.🚀💯⚡️🏆🏆⚡️🔥
What a killer bash with some wicked ramp shavers. Thank's for sharing 👊😎👍⚡⚡⚡
Thanks, return my brother. Yeah, the ramp shaver was crazy. This truck took a pounding!🔥🔥💯⚡️🔥
3:42
🕊bird: "where these flying cars keep coming from"
thunder rc: "YEET!" 🦸♂😆
Haha so true!! South Texas is well known for its coastal birds and we really try to not hit them!!!
Ha ha the birds are freaking out over here. The cars are launching higher than they can fly 😂😂😂💯⚡️⚡️🏆🏆💯
I love my XRT. I do have giant electronics on it and different tires and TX and RX, but it's not absolutely necessary. I'm just into the higher jump thing and quicker rotation. The only thing I've broken so far on it is a wing mount. Everything else has been holding up great to crashes and some jumps. Thanks for the video. I don't regret my purchase. Very durable truggie out of the box.
Yes, I have to appreciate that. The XRT is so versatile in such a durable beast. I am loving his truck so far definitely worth the money!💯⚡️🏆🚀🚀🏆
For stability, racing, and keeping the body on lol, I love my xrt! And I got mine 3 weeks old for an investment of about $500 its like brand new still. Biggest truck in my fleet. I have a bunch of arrma and traxxas vehicles and my xrt is my big baby. I love it, I got the orange and black one. Man I like the green and black one!
I think the XRT wins in the Bashing area to it is a great beast!🚀💯⚡️⚡️⚡️💯
I'd like to see a video of your current rc collection
I will definitely do that video soon mate 👍🏆🏆⚡️
Ground control to major thunder you're clear to land your XRT ... great bash bro
Ha ha just like the song. Thank you brother.
Very good presentation!
Truly appreciate it brother thank you so much
Green is the way to GO
GREENGO
Yeah, I’m like in the green bro
Loving the new ☠️ ramp brother.
Thanks return my brother we love it too!🚀💯⚡️🏆⚡️💯
Buddy that was badass!!! I’m impressed with the XRT for only having minor breaks after that! Very nice driving skills!👍👍😁😎✌️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️💥💥💥
Truly appreciate it my brother. Yes, I’m very impressed with the durability of this truck. So far, they took an absolute pounding out there.
smooth sailing
Thank you so much, brother!
I'm gunna do the foam thing , but I'm scared to open it up , I don't wanna find broken FREEEEEKN tabs again ! Great idea , brought up the bottom support for big electric motors ,with wfo racing here in Spokane, next thing I see a month later ,is m2c and him are making them now , it shows that us cool rc dudes are pretty smart too ! Great idea dude ! I love my XRT !!! What tires u got on the XRT , stocks ?
Yeah, the phone trick really work. She definitely need to do that. It will save your servo.👍💯⚡️🏆🏆⚡️
I don't have XRT but from the looks of it does look worth $1000. But I do have a $1000 Xmaxx that is awesome
The xmaxxs is the king of all bashers, but the XRT is almost just as good, and I love it
The first jump what excellent air control 👍👊😀
Truly appreciate it bro. Thank you so much!
@@thunderrc check this out lol. The losi 32 cc engine the plug gaps are .5 mm to .7 mm. The plug installed in it was gapped to ,5 and that was no bueno lol. Once I gapped it properly it all of a sudden ran like it's supposed to. 👍😀
Super sick to add a green one to the fleet! Killer bash man you really sent that thing as high as the death ramp will take it!!🤩🚀👏🤙😍. Gonna go get that XMAXX today! After so long😀.
Bro I am soooo stoked for you man!!! You are getting the Worlds Best RC Today!!!⚡️⚡️🏆🏆🏆💪💪💪💪 I can’t wait for the awesome videos to come dude!!!
@@thunderrc yeah man it’s gonna be sick! Thanks so much man! This is a long awaited day!
Interesting findings!...
Yeah, we found a few breaks but the truck is an amazing beast🚀💯🏆🏆⚡️⚡️
@@thunderrc, you are the Tiger!
Not much xrt i but i gotta give massive props for you driving.
I feel disgusted with stock trx remote, cant drive any cars with it, steering is sluggish and throttle not very responsive. Some of the recoveries you showed wouldnt be easy with better radio and more punchy system. Id expect youd swap each new car to a better more comfy radio but nah, send it out of the box and still nail the landings, respect
Truly appreciate it bro, I’ve had lots of practice in trashed mini cars, but I have arrived.👍💯💯⚡️🏆💯😂
Ya, any rc slapping concrete WILL break no matter your skill level. You and I know this. Lol. Thanks for the advice, I will have to do that with Kyda(my xrt). She is finally back on the road and terrorizing the neighbors. Ha ha ha. Lol. Mud, dirt, grass = good for landings. Concrete = very bad for any rc.
Keep the videos coming. ❤ you, brother. And Bash on, Thunder!!🌩🌩🌩❤️❤️💯👍👍🤘👊💯🚘🌩🌩🌩
Ha ha yes sir bro you know bear slapping that concrete will tear them up. I hope you’re doing good bro in Bashing XRT. Love you bro!🚀💯⚡️🏆🏆💯💯💯
Xmaxx 4 Life!! Seriously though, the XRT looks sweet, very tempting but I'm not gonna do it lol. I've had my Xmaxx for 3-4 years now and between it being so freaking tough and so easy to work on when I do break something, its really the ultimate RC for me. I have gotten so many smiles from driving that thing that it has been well worth the price!
Heck yeah, you should totally get an XRT because it is just as awesome as the xmaxxs and a totally different experience💯⚡️⚡️🏆⚡️⚡️💪
Not one kid in the street watching! 😮 I remember when my neighbour got a tamiya frog....... Every kid within a 5 mile radius came to watch 😂😊
Ha ha I live in a community full of old people😂💯💯⚡️🏆🏆
@@thunderrc that explains why you don't get complaints... They can't hear 😂😀👊
Yes XRT is definitely worth it. For me it's my frist traxxas basher big scale. So I love it drives awesome and yup super durable out of box. Better then the Arrma 1/5 scales
Yes, I have to agree. I am loving his truck so far man what a Beast!
Love my xrt , it’s a beast broke the bell crank and now has a vitavon bell crank broke the ears of the bulkheads now has vitavon bulkheads, xlx2 1100kv system it’s a monster of an Rc car! Love the sends awesome video bud
Yes, I have to agree with you. The XRT is such an amazing machine! Thank you so much brother.
The biggest. most reoccurring, most important thought in my head the last few weeks, should i buy a XRT??? Conclusion, hell yeah!
Heck yes! You definitely should man!!!⚡️🏆🏆🚀🚀
that thing is a durable Beast. I want one asap. great video. o7!
It is such an awesome truck. You will love it so much, bro!💯💯🏆🏆💯🚀
Those front flips look sick af dude! 💪
Truly appreciate it my bro I love front flip in this beast!💯🏆🏆🏆⚡️🚀
A lot of $$ but I guess it's a fair bit of car too. Your airtime control is 2nd to none. Keep up the awesome work mate.
Thank you so much better yes I would say it’s worth the money
There like pokemon 😂 you gotta get them all
⚡☠️⚡💥⚡Awesome this bashing session buddy, you sent your XRT to the moon ⚡🌠⚡☠️⚡
This new death ramp sends perfectly and with style, well done Thunder Rc 👍
This XRT is a hell of a machine but I'm still addicted to the Xmaxx it's a bashing beast 💪peace my brother 🙏🤘
Truly appreciate it, my bro, yeah, we are loving the new deathramp. It really says the truck huge and the XRT is just amazing. I love this truck!🚀💯⚡️🏆🏆💯💯💥
are you running stock gearing or did you gear it up ??
Yep, this is stock gearing out of the box stock yesterday, and everything didn’t do a thing🚀💯⚡️🏆🏆💯
tried bakingsoda and superglue on my outcast wheel hub and learned a very valuable lesson: normal plastic has some give/flex, but once you superglue it back together with baking soda, the bond will be so rigid it will be literally the first thing to break in an impact
I have the XRT and I love it ! I will say that I think the XMAXX is a better basher because it's not a LCG chassis but that is also the reason the XRT is a much better driver all around. I think I have traction rolled my XRT 1 time ever. M2C just released a basher bar for the XRT and I think it will be a necessary upgrade along with the bellcrank, servo/horn and servo mount. I will also do the bulkhead brace upgrade that Earl Moorhead did a video on because both front and rear broke on mine. I'm interested to see how stock you keep your XRT and what upgrades you end up doing. Glad to see the XRT back in your stable and thanks for another epic bash session!! ⚡⚡
I have to absolutely agree with you the LCD chassis really changes things. But the XRT is so much fun!👍⚡️🏆🏆🏆🚀
0:20 Easy brother that XRT is going to end up breaking your toes 🤣🤣🤣🤣
6:17 I wonder Thunder if you was to do a mash up between the XRT&XMAXX like if you took the wheels and longer arms front& back off the XRT and put them on a XMAXX how well will it perform on handling, basic jumps and your ''DEATH RAMP 2023???''
Another fun bashing session Thunder😎😎👍👍
That is a really cool idea. Will take a little thinking to do it but all the parts are there might have to try that.💪⚡️🏆🏆⚡️
@@thunderrc Thanks Thunder I'm so glad I could be of help to you😁😁
Wouldn’t it be cool to see Thunder, Duperbash, dude 81 have an air session together?
I would enjoy that , it would be very cool to meet those guys and have a good time!💪💯💯⚡️🏆🏆
another good video, looking hot in texas, we hit 75 the other day in northern mi about killed me.
75° will be wearing jackets here ha ha it is way too hot right now
Yes, for someone who has the place to run :-) I can rather buy two profi buggy in this price. It is just a preference. But in 1/5 trucks if i hesitate, i would buy XRT rather than xmaxx or Kraton 1/5.
Yes, the XRT is an amazing platform. I definitely say it’s worth the money.
The XRT is super fun to drive. Has a few weak points but they are all fixable
The truck is just solid all around and if i feel like driving something fast (not crawling) its my go to every time
I absolutely agree with you. The XRT is amazing and I’m loving his truck so far!🚀💯⚡️🏆🏆💯
I just ordered the truck today do you have a lift of the upgrades you recommend?
@@Miko_of_the_North RPM hingepins or DIY
Garage life rc battery straps (not the ones that need chassis drilled)
Garage life rc wing mount
Ec5 or better connectors
I had all the problems that you had but yes definitely worth the 1000 , the amount of fun that I’ve had with this thing far exceeds that price , my biggest complaint about the stock xrt it the stock rims, i literally have 16 stock xrt tires that are cracked , I guarantee if you take those wheels off they have cracks rite at the seems on the hex on the rim, but awesome video man , definitely my favorite rc!
I absolutely agree with you. The truck is amazing and definitely worth the price.💪💯⚡️🏆🏆⚡️🚀
It may break but you stomp it pretty hard 🤪from what I see it looks like a pretty fun RC 👍
Yes, I think it didn’t get a fair shake in the beginning had a couple nasty landings and then it seemed to do really well, I think this is a very durable RC. I love it so far! Hope you’re doing good buddy.
@@thunderrc XRT, XMaxx and Rustler are my favourite RC’s to watch for Traxxas products
What are you running in your Xrt now @thunderrc
I am running the XRT completly stock right now straight out of the box💪💯⚡️⚡️🏆🏆⚡️
Somebody's got a LOT of cash to burn.
Looks good but im a gaser like the sound 😂
I understand that it is easy to get hooked on the sound of gas
Many CZcamsrs that said the xrt is stronger then the arrma kraton had sold their xrt now and still got their arrma kratons and is saying now that the arrma is stronger and better most say the xrt is to expensive and the xmaxx is still the ultimate to have.
I have owned both in for me. The XRT is the winner all day, way more durable than a Kraton.
Love the xrt but the x-maxx is still my go to basher.
Yes both truck are amazing!💪🔥💯💯⚡️🏆💯💯
Take xrt to rc track that is where the xrt really shines is on a rc car track,,,,sorry I honestly do not understand why people take a $1000.00 rc car,and jump as high as it will go to see if something breaks or not ....
CZcams is all about seeing what can withstand extreme punishment and that’s what I’m here to do is to show you guys what does truck and take plus if you’re not jump on your trucks he’s just not having fun 😂💪⚡️💯⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
I understand what you are saying ,,I just don't see the point of launching a very expensive rc truck into the sky to see if it will fly lol,,I do jump my trucks,bit when you are retired on a fixed and income some parts get pretty spendy,,my plastics I boil in boiling water for 20 minutes,and then let plastics soak in wd-40 for 3 days,,and plastics are so durable ,and more flexible it is stupid,and then I spay rc plastics with wd-40 after cleaning session,,,now I do have a arrma big rock that is just a beast that has taken everything I have thrown at it ,,skate parks,bmx tracks,moto crass tracks golf course bash sessions,,just make sure to take sand pit after session or golfers get pissed 😂,and is my older xmaxx 6s I have fun with because new chassis $20.00,,,,new kraton 6s chassis off Amazon $115.00,,I do agree some rc trucks are more durable than other hence why I have a big rock,and xmaxx,,I buy bashers because they are tough,and can take the abuse with playing with them,and I normally do not jump my trucks , because they always land wrong ,,you would after playing with rc cars for 4o years you would think I could get these lipo rc cars to land right,,but no ,,the whole breaking,and fly straight shit I still can't get right ..
Xrt is not that great for a track 😂😂😂
I never have any problems with xrt on the track.
Badass Bash Bro with my favorite Xrt and i love the New Ramp. I would pay money for a ramp like that with your New Design on it !!
Thanks brotha! Yeah man I’d build one for you but then I wouldn’t know how to get it to ya 😱😂😂
I wonder who got you into buying another XRT? Yeah man, it is such an epic truck. I think XRT and X-Maxx are just as good. Love 'em both. Can't wait to go bashing with you again.
You talk to me and buy another XRT brother! You’re a good man! Hope you’re doing awesome bro and sending the trucks huge🚀🔥⚡️⚡️🏆🏆💯
Wow. Nice driving & jumping (how can you control this car so good while flying?)
Love my XRT. Motor broke a few days ago. Not very good at this things, hope I can fix it. Best from Munich
Truly appreciate it bro, I’ve had lots and lots of practice man I’ve broken a lot of cars!🔥💯💯🏆😂
🤘🏼🤘🏼
Very good
What level is your garage hair wind machine on 11?
Hahahahahaha it’s so hot in south Texas and the mosquitoes are about to carry us away! I hope Thunder sees your comment. 😂😂😂
Does it wheelie out da box?
So I bought my grandson a Teton for Christmas and got addicted now I want an XRT because of the area I live 3 or 4 miles from where this vid was made I think that would be a good one for flat out running and cornering in the terrain we have I’m gonna subscribe hopefully you’ve done some by the pavilion cool man
Man those chassis slams on the concrete 🤣
Wait you bought a new one again ?
Yeah, I sold the old one to fund a different car and now I got a new one and I love it
does it compare to the kraton 8s 5th scale?
Yes it does but it is not as good. 👍🔥🚀🚀🏆
The XRT IS WAY BETTER THEN THE X - MASS" HANDS DOWN LOVE MINE ORANGE XRT ❤
I didn’t see anything on East sides site on this baking soda deal. Thunder! Please explain this process! ❤
Jeff at Eastside RC gave us the recipe for fixing minor plastic cracks and breaks. You use superglue quickly mixed with baking soda
I’m not exactly sure if we are doing it the correct way , but it has worked for us with repairs on plastic
@EastsideRC
youtube.com/@eastsiderc
@@juliachatwell thank you!… I appreciate the reply. Love your videos brother!
@@Rcprescription you’re welcome!! It’s pretty simple. Just put some super glue on the place you need to fix and sprinkle some baking soda on top and it will seal up the crack or break. You have to work fast though !
I’m Rocky’s ( Thunder’s) mom and I run the camera. Lol. Thanks so much for watching!! 😊👍💯👍
Yeah, it’s a really cool trick that we learned from East side RC. You basically put super glue on whatever you’re trying to fix and then powder on the baking soda and it turns into concrete.👍⚡️⚡️🏆🏆⚡️
@@juliachatwell thanks for the reply Mother thunder!…your awesome behind the camera he’s lucky….my wife says nope!….lol
What coast is that in the background??
Can do standing backflipe is it?
Any R/C you send off the ramp of death is going to break if you don’t stick your landing on all four wheels. Note: There is a difference between Bash and Crash! 😂😅🤭🤗 🙋🏻♂️🫶
That is very true when jumping off the deathramp you better landed, right ha ha
Yeah this big rc flying in the air like a plane landing on a wheel definitely broke to easy 😂😂😂
The xrt is 1 bad machine but I still love the xmaxx
Absolutely brotha!💯💯🏆🏆🔥🚀
Should have shown the damage uncut after the crash. Arrma fan i guess?
I am no I am a fan I like all RC cars. Yeah I should’ve shown some of the damage. Thank you so much for watching.👍🚀🏆🏆⚡️
🤯💀☠️💣💣💥💥
Thank you so much, my brother
funny...first vid ive watched with you wit the xrt and it hits the bench in first 5 minutes. never show the with the xmaxx.....ill keep my Xmaxx. not the biggest fan of the xrt. i have 1/8 pro race truggy...xrt doesnt make sense to me. ...pretty tho.
Yeah, I think the XRT didn’t get a fair shake this round had a couple nasty hits in the beginning. The truck seems to be very durable.
I rather get the 30 degree North truck
30Degree North East Beast
@Thunder RC almost want to get the almost ready to run truck.
1:00 durability test for sure
I definitely think the Xmaxx is better and it looks better I think the XRT should be around 700 $ think the break alot from what I have seen on the tube ..
I can see George straights house from there
Let us know when you find a RC car survive al those jump..
⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ INSANE!!! Those small issues are a pain, but your the man and love that foam trick! Epic sends and Floored as usual! #1 all day….ThiunderRc!⚡️🔥😱🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Love you my bro yeah man I told you this truck is a beast. I’m glad you didn’t sell yours brother. I hope you get out and basket very soon my friend. Love you bro!🚀🚀🚀⚡️🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆⚡️⚡️💯💯💯💯
@@thunderrc thank you thunder! Your my Bro!⚡️❤️
The xrt is the next one I wanna get as well as the vigalante
Dude if the FAA sees these videos they are going to make us put a beacon and remote i.d. on our rc cars 😭 🤬
Xmaxx is king XRT is rite behind
Absolutely brother couldn’t agree more🚀💯🏆💪💯
That's badass but it's not a xmaxx .😜🤬🤪
You're also rocketing it 50ft in the air over and over and over...
Dude, c'mon with the ridiculous sound effects while landing. Maybe once or twice here and there, but, literally everytime...it kills the quality of the video.
u wreck more stuff that anybody on u tube!! LOL
Yeah, that’s why they call me Thunder, ha ha 😂😂😂⚡️🏆🏆🏆⚡️⚡️
Meh...
