We just take a brief look back again at all of the rc cars reviewed on the channel and select the Best 5 rc cars of 2022! What is the ideal rc car? Let’s uncover out!
Great list and even snuck in a nitro๐๐ฏ
Just an opinion but also has been proven in the long run that aluminum chassis are a no go especially in heavier Rc they bend and costs you hundreds to replace and upgrade a good plastic will bend and give way and form back and if it does break somehow then itโs $20 to replace not hundreds. Those are great reason and facts for my opinions to hold true. Thatโs why Iโm not big on Arrma I love the designs besides the chassis and the power and looks but never wanted one bc of the aluminum chassis they are not durable enough
Great honorable mention. I'd include SRX8e RTR also. Excellent quality, value, performance.
Huh?? The rig that snaps chassis on every run gets in the top 5?????? Lol smh
Since you've been on a nitro kick lately, how about getting a Kyosho USA-1 nitro? They aren't perfect but they're super quirky, lots to talk about, would make some good videos.
Great list and totally agree with the kronos xtr , still is my favourite 1/8th truggy by a long shot
Loving the nitro content mate!
Shocked to see MT8 at the top, but as an owner of one it's nice to see it get some love. It's definitely problematic out of the box. I was fortunate enough to get a great price on a used MT8 that was essentially in mint condition! Upgraded to Kajui Arms, and went with Kajui aluminum front and rear hubs, spindles and Team Associated Aluminum steering rack. I'm in just over retail cost now and it's basically bullet proof and drives great on 4s…6s is way too much for that rig! Need to still try and tune it a bit to cut back on the standing back flips off the line lol
A little surprised but very happy to see the MT8 at the top of the list. I have read mostly negative comments about it since it hit the shelves earlier this year. I love mine and haven't broken anything on it yet. Admittedly, I don't go full send with it either, and I don't truly have anything to compare it to because it is my only 1/8 monster truck. Your videos on it have definitely made me feel like I made a good choice with it though, so thanks! Keep up the great work and all the great content you give us and happy holidays! ๐
Best purchase for me this year was the new Traxxas Rustler Vxl with the magnum transmission already installed. My worst purchase has to be the HPI RACING 1/18 Nissan Skyline GTR drift car. Never seen a steering servo held down by double-sided tape… from the factory. The really surprising purchase was the Laegendary Triton mini monster truck. It is quick for what it is. Fun to drive in the house.
Without giving the video away, That #1 Truck threw me for a loop. I may buy 1 and give it a try with some truggy track oriented tires. I also like the 1/10 scale version. Interesting choice picks over all. Good video and input as usual ๐๐พ๐๐พ.
kyosho beetle!
Nitro Curious! Haha. I fooled around with Nitro in college (Kyosho MP5) and have had the itch to give it another try.
This was a cool video, but although I do agree with your reviews a lot of the time, I'd have to disagree on a few of your choices here. I haven't had half of what you've driven this year, but to put a car that breaks a chassis on a regular basis in the top 5… Come on dude, what are you doing? That's a fundamental flaw, that car should be nowhere near the top 5. But hey, I don't own one, so my opinion doesn't carry much weight on this one.
The Hyper MTX deserves a spot in the top 5, but with the lack of setup outta the box, I don't know if I would've put it in third place. Maybe a bit further down the list would be my vote.
I can't comment on the Kyosho buggy, I've not owned one and I'm not a nitro type of guy, so I'll leave that one alone.
The Kronos XTR is one of the best RCs on the market today, for sure. I love mine and it's taken an absolute beating and keeps going. Definitely well seated in second place (if not first).
But the biggest plot twist for me was your choice for the Rival MT8 in top spot. Again, I don't own one, but I've seen one too many videos with durability issues to even consider that truck for the top 5, let alone top spot. I also remember watching your running vid of it on 6S and how undrivable it was, so I'm really surprised to see it on this list at all.
In the end, my opinion here matters very little as I haven't owned or even driven half the cars you've mentioned, so don't take anything I've written too seriously. LoL. I enjoyed the video, watched it right to the end and gave you a ๐.
I've never done a top – anything – before, but since our views differ a bit and we've had different cars throughout the year, I may consider doing one of these this year as well.
Great work on the video as usual and keep up the great work. ๐๐
Nice to see some different choices for top picks, and I agree, Outcast is top 5 worthy!!
Thanks for being honest and not afraid to pick the MT8 (Iwe donโt know this truck so have no opinion on it) our pick would be the awesome Kronos, our best 2022 truck. It just handles amazing and eats Kartons for breakfast at a track ๐
Great video ๐ Of your list I only have the Outcast 4s. Great truck ๐คฉ
The one burning a hole in my pocket is the Hobao mtx. I'll probably be looking to buy one when we get a little closer to spring. Maybe they will have the shock issue fixed by then.
What a nice surprisong review. Do you have an idea, how to covert a arrma 4s slipper clutch d to a Center diff?
Great video do you plan on doing some more videos on racing stuff? Im particullary interrested in the yokomo MO 1.0 and SO 1.0 or xb4 23 or something fancy like a nemo racing N1 if they would make a low cg dual battery electro version that would be my go too car…
And that long overdue m17 video ๐
MT 10 is cool monster truck umu
You got a lot of vehicles this year. Awesome to see….until you add the receipts. HAHA. great video as always.
I read your other post about maybe not making this video. So glad you did as always enjoy your personal experience and feelings as helps me make that final decision on some of my rc buys ๐ looking forward to 2023 weather they are new or an old goodie missed thanks for your valuable honest content ๐๐
