Seems like all of the most fun bashers always have diff issues. Though I never broke one in my 8S Xmaxx.

I have three Arrma RC trucks and I've been impressed with all of them. Great deal.

I have two 1/10 scale Traxxas Brushless E-Revo with Mamba Max. How does this compare? I don't need another RC truck but this is half what I paid for my E-Revo. How fast does this go? Thanks.

That's alot of info to cover here. There's dedicated arrma kraton Facebook groups and the arrma-forums is a great resource too. YouTube as well.

Nice to see more RC deals on here. Personally I don't have an issue with the diffs, you can shim them if they have too much side to side play. I've had a V2 Kraton for almost 4 years now and it's a stout truck. Love mine and most all the Arrma vehicles.

Ya Traxxas stuff typically breaks in other ways although the Xmaxx is a very solid truck. The arrma diffs were originally from their team durango lineup and were more for racing then bashing. If you have good throttle control the diffs should last a long time.

That's my problem. Zero throttle control lmao. I got pretty good at changing revo diffs and axles.

This was $420 (nice) not too long ago.

on a side note how big of an upgrade over the Big Rock 3S would this be? It looks pretty big but not sure it would be that much more fun? I scored a big rock 3s for $230 so I'm not sure I need to upgrade
