Ever seen an Arrma notorious/outcast turn into a helicopter then literally melt a rim off the hub from extreme force/gravity? Poor bastard had no idea what was coming at the end of the vid!!

 
Ever see an Outcast doing speed runs across freshly mowed lawn? I have and it's not pretty. It's proof that there is no truly safe place to drive. And anything involving an Arrma is extreme.

What are you running for a body? It seems pretty tough.

It’s like a restarted baby
 
I just want to make sure I got this right, you lost a wheel without losing your wheel nut? As the guy who breaks everything I'm truly impressed.

Its an eBay bug body. Thick 100% infill 3dprinted scratch plates, tons of shoegoo/fiber tape, and nylon plates on the inside of the body to support it all. Then a custom indestructible wing mount that's attached to the body. I actually prefer it to my russian indestructible body on my x-maxx.

This particular body is one year old give or take right now, and i do at least 1 or 2 battery packs every other weekend on it just like in the video lol.

Love that Tasmanian Devil move. 🤣

looney tunes spin GIF
It's no secret you love Tas. I bet you loved that ending in the video hahaha.

Yeah I'm glad I was recording, I have another video where I get it spinning like that again and stop and say I don't wanna melt another rim off. haha.

Traxxas tough 🤣
In my experience, Traxxas is tougher than Arrma. My brother breaks his Senton a lot (always essential parts), I rarely break a part and I’m the hardest driver. Traxxas is tough, unless it’s a UDR. Look at the Maxx for the definition of “Traxxas tough”
 
While I understand someone having a favorite I have also had almost every vehicle made for the last 25 years lolol. When you know how to melt rims off the hub and do standing backflips for days, self right for days, and build ramps like mine you realize they all break almost exactly the same - diffs/bulks/arms/driveshafts.

My X-maxx has had so many upgrades do to weaknesses and its gods gift to RC's "and i mean this, I think its the best RC made to date". But I treat it horribly and it breaks everything in the book. Stock diffs last me like one session. I had to upgrade all the diff stuff real fast just like on the arrma's going to exb diffs. One mans definition of bash is another man's definition of pamper lololol...

I have a Senton that's built like a tank and is almost impossible to break, almost..... "vid below"

Snapped a X-Maxx cvd shaft straight in half, 3rd one I've done. That is not easy at all to do!!!









Here is the Senton

I do agree the Maxx is one of the toughest out of the box RC's made. But if you add power like we all do to all these it needs upgrades as well. I dont look at anything as stock tough though, as I modify all mine almost straight away adding power via Gearing/punchlevel/biggerLiPo or straight up motor/esc, then I have to do upgrades as it inevitable destroys stuff haha.
