Almost skipped this video since the thumbnail is blurry and I thought it was the Stampede 4x4. Now I'm wondering how many videos I haven't watched because the title and thumbnail gave me nothing to go on. You got to stop it with the blurry thumbnails, the clickbait title is enough.

It’s awesome. I crawl much more than I bash but the rustlers are awesome. If it’s your first basher or you’re looking for another basher to add to the fleet, this is a great option.

Community support is so abundant for the 4x4 rustler/stampede/slash/hoss/Raptor r because it's a 30 year old design that they refuse to sell as an affordable priced roller or a complete ultimate package. The ultimate versions lack a center diff and the new extreme heavy duty axles and bearings kit. It would cost you over 600$cad to upgrade an old 4x4 chassis to be like the bl2s and that doesn't include electronics! That does however include a center diff upgrade which is the most expensive center diff that traxxas sells unfortunately. Crazy.

I honestly think traxxas cars arent the best cars to buy because down the line , if you decide to get other brands . You'll have to get basically buy new electronics cause traxxas lock you in with their battery connectors (with the built in balance plugs ) . Traxxas stuff isnt standard to other brands using ec5,ic5 connectors . They try and lock you into traxxas stuff . I got so much traxxas stuff that just sits and collect dust .

@EXTREMERC416 14 днів тому
I keep listening to the video and im legit rolling on my chair. This thing is an absolute junk rc car. That car made me depressed, kept burning money wishing every run the axles wont break.. i kept seeing the u join stretching until they broke one by one. The feeling of hopelessness. it broke an axle every single 3 packs running on flat ground. Countless of pairs i broke, how many times i lost the shock perches and popped the aluminum caps i installed in day 1. I can legit write a book on this truck. I never bashed it after my first ever jump i did with it. Because I learned it couldnt take it. Flat ground on concrete and short grass and it would fall apart by itself anyway. I like You mark as a content creator about RC but i cant remain silent on this one. I doubt they made such massive changes other than improving the axles for the 3rd time now to make the truck go from absolutly bad to great.
@EXTREMERC416 14 днів тому
Omg. This was my first rc car... and it was the absolute WORST RC i ever owned. Paid 400$ For it. In a nutshell the issues with the car i had was the wheelie bar, shocks, esc, motor, servo, steering system, AXLES and tires. Pretty much all of the car was a dumpster fire. It couldnt even jump because the throttle was 50/50 by default. First jump i landed slightly to the right and the arm pulled away. Changed te arms to rpm and they also broke in the smallests of tumbles, after that i broke 4 pairs of axles in the rear and 1 pair in the front for no reason in tumbles. I decided to just get rid of it. Because i wasnt willing to invest 400$ on a 3s truck that is overpriced to begin with and you get dont get ur money’s worth. They updated the axles now on it.. its like the 3rd time they updated their axles. At the time the axle tire side was 8$ a piece And 12$ for the ones that connect to the diffs. Esc and motor overheated non stop, very slow at 42mph with stock pinion. The esc started to fail and there was 0 warranty. Wanted me to ship it at my expense to them and they would judge if they would warranty or not for half price. Pretty much the middle finger. Compared to horizon they remplaced 2 escs, 2 motors and non warranty parts that they decided to warranty for some weird reason. 2 yr warranty on all the electronics and any default like an unglued tire in the first runs. I sold the truck for absoltely nothing. Bought the kraton 4s the original after that. Also for 400$... first days on my jumping spot where the rustler failed.. first jump, i land it... i then land my first backflip, my first front flip.. full speed sends at 50mph at an insane height, the insane adrenaline rush and joy i felt... car had its issues but the performance made it worth fixing and upgrading and gaining experience. Im not the only one who felt absolutely robbed for going for a traxxas 3s as first rc. I know you love traxxas. But these trucks are not for beginners. I could arguably also say for the 3s arrmas because of the clutch. I really find the traxxas 3s trucks to be insanely predatory to beginners. Because of the marketting and brand name. What had me was the name and the insane speed of 65mph on the box. Then you learn you need to buy parts to reach that speed, add fans and stuff. While other brands its just a simple pinion.

This looks cool and all, but I don't get how they just keep re-hashing the same old cars by slapping some different parts in it, changing the body livery, and then call it new. It's not new, it's just a different version of the same thing! And it's not just Traxxas, although they probably do it more than any other company. I just wish RC companies would just come out with actual "New" models. Not the same model with some different upgrades. I mean, we can buy it, and make the same upgrades.
