Granite is only 336 for the BLX so that's where my money goes. Nice assessment.💯

[Mattacognition]

The move at 7:30 had me like damn! Then the little skills sign popped up and I started cracking up lol

[martinbullla]

I put a spectrum 120 amp and granite so I can run for us haven't got to mess with it yet but heard that it works good

[cedargrove]

Dang you gotta tighten up that slipper clutch. Awesome cars tho. I'm looking into getting the arrma granite right now. I had a traxxas slash 4x4 ultimate and a rustler vxl but traxxas just isn't there when I comes to build quality in my opinion. Awesome vid👍👌👌

[UrbanLegendRC]

Nice session bro that hoss body looks good 👍🏾

The Granite is $260 right now...its a no brainer.

[martinbullla]

It sucks my hoss has been used probably 15-20 times not really beating on it all cuz I don't really bad just trying to get the speed up and from the get-go it had a clicking noise that I could not figure out what it was come to find out the spur gears out around so it basically destroyed the bearings in there and yeah it just sucks man and this was all within warranty they sent me a new spur gear and stuff but they wouldn't send me bearings for the motor because those got messed up to it's just ridiculous I bought the brace for the back that comes with the upgraded bearing so I guess it really don't matter but still

[cryptonight]

At the 8:14 mark, looks like that Hoss is part cat!..lol

[electricnitrorc]

Nice comparsion vid. They look pretty equal 👍 what do you think about the electronics in the Arrma? I considered buying the Boost version and upgrading to 4×4 and putting a brushless in.

[Moggmodels]

Just watched your video it's alsome mate great job 👍👏

[Daniyoyo]

Part availability I’ll roll with the hoss
