I do love my Xmaxx it’s a great truck. Tough, looks cool, big size, fast, soaks up every bump and rut. That green body looks great I have the orange but I started with a blue body. My Xmaxx is a 6s original truck converted to 8s with the Traxxas power up kit they released a while back.
Exactly what happened to my xmaxx too. The front wouldn't return. What fixed it was opening up the shock caps and moving the shock shaft up and down to remove any air. I found that my shock caps was just a bit loose. I have a feeling after a big impact it burped and had negative air pressure.
Great video guys really enjoyed it . The XMaxx is just an all around great RC Monster Truck , its arguably the greatest RC to date . Theres very little that can go wrong , however i had the same issue with the pinion coming loose . I try to stay clear of the red loctite , it can be a pain in the ass if you need to remove such a small set screw , ive stripped out many . The only other issue was the spur gear , Ive torn them to pieces more then once . Im certain the problem was the gear meshing , the locating pins or the designated holes to set the gear mesh , must have been out . After a few trashed pinions and spur gears , i removed the pins altogether and meshed the gears using a piece of paper , since doing so i havent had a single issue . As far as durability the XMaxx is a beast , its as tough as a Sherman tank. Cant wait for your next video , until then have fun and most important stay safe , Cheers
Your videos are always so much fun and addictive to watch. You always bring a smile to my face with every single video. I watch your videos for pure entertainment value and your antics.
I have a suggestion for your GroPro mounts but it *WILL* be permanent. If you heat the bottom for the sticky pad on the clip for around 10 seconds with a flame, it will stick really well to the body and really takes a beating. I've tried it on one of my RCs and crashed it quite a lot and the GoPro mount has never come off.
You said that the typhon broke on the other jump and it's true but the difference is that you jump a lot more faster and longer than with the xmaxx, i want to see the xmaxx jumping at 90kph. Thanks for the vid!!! I really enjoy It!!! You are amazing!!
Awesome vid guys !! Amber really did awesome as most people have problems with doing a flip on any Rc and one that size is so much harder and she caught on really quick and I’m not really surprised as she is really good at handling all the Rc’s. I knew you both would really enjoy the Xmaxx and I won’t be surprised if it becomes your favourite bashing and all round best Rc unit, and ya the pinion definitely needs to be lock tightened and I’d either do the drywall tape and shoe goo to strengthen up your Xmaxx body or all Rc bodies you want to last for awhile or get the indestructible bodies and save your original ones. I do believe you guys will also get a lot of enjoyment out of your EXB as Arrma has made those units really tough also, but there’s really nothing out there that competes with the stock Xmaxx with a few minor upgrades , as the 1/5 EXB Arrma units are also really tough but their upgraded to the hilt plus it still has a few weak points and you also have to add all the electronics , so dollar for dollar the Xmaxx is definitely the way to go. I can’t wait to see what abuse you guys put your EXB through. Stay and Play Safe !! 👊✌️
I gotta say I've stopped in on you guys channel from time to time..... and I always came away from the videos appreciating the fun that can be had with RC......your unbiased reviews have helped me personally when I was looking to add to my humble RC fleet.... Now because I'm finally getting the "The Big One" in a couple of days myself I've been watching a lot of vids about the X-Maxx and I gotta say... you guys beat the dog outta that rig in this video .... and the beast took it with little or no major problems ...Bravo!!! so now I don't have that feeling of wow that's a lotta money for an RC....lolol well worth the price of admission ....... I'm now subscribed ..... thank you for sharing...☮~~~~Out !👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I’ve watched a bunch of your videos but never subbed until today. Never realized I wasn’t. You should get some dense foam and cut it out for spacers in the battery tray. I have a couple sizes I made and it keeps the battery from moving and coming out I have to agree with you guys the Traxxas XMaxx is a beast and it’s crazy tough!!! Nice jumps and yes Amber you tested the durability and also nailed the backflip!! 👊👍 great video guys!!!
Just an awesome video. Little tip: when u do a frontflip it is mandatory to tap the brake and then go reverse, otherwise the car will turn sideways and land on one wheel. If u wanna know the science behind it, it is due to the intermediate axis theorem.
Mine breaks just about every time I take it out. All the electronics & motor had to be warranties 2 months after I got it. 5 months of ownership, prolly well over $500 in parts and countless hours of wrenching.
@@leaguecarrypro It's pretty nice. Unfortunately the property here is only a half an acre with lots of obstacles. So I can't open it up without running into something. I'm gonna take it to the beach and see what she can do.
@@MarkDavidBlack nice, lemme know buddy! I’d like to take my e revo on the beach but I feel like it’d be bad news if I didn’t check the diffs afterward which is a pain in the ass
Awesome vid guys and am binge watching the channel ATM. Love it. I'll add... and I'm sure you've heard it a million times... 50 weight shock oil all round on the X-Maxx for bashing.... they behave a little more on the limit... and take big hits a little better. and the shocks don't leak as much lol.... RPM rear hub carriers too!
Love you guys. Great video. I really want a X-Maxx now 🤣. Super impressed with Amber taking that black ramp. Joe you seem to be really confident with those massive jumps already 👍🏼
Great video guys!!! My wife and I are getting one TODAY!! Lol I reckon she'll be much better than me, she doesn't think so, but I know I have fumble fingers
1100kv for sure. Keeps it lightish and still packs a crazy amount of power. I would say if you want backflip craziness, go max 5 with 1100kv combo. Then gear 25/35 with wfo rc gears
Hey guys I just started to watch your TH-cam channel it's definitely one of the funnier or see channels for sure you guys like to have a good time and that's all it's about like you say it's only a toy.
I went from a slash 4x4 then I got a kraton 6s and now I’m gonna work on getting an xmaxx and then a kraton 8s. I don’t even play with my 7 plus vehicles. I buy them hoping to get someone to go bashing with me
Great video guys. Well done Amber, nice jumps and flips :) Looks like the beast lives another day. For the body you can reinforce the shell which will help to stop the shell from breaking on impact. Of course won't help with the scuffs and scratches, but you wont need to replace the shell. How did the Kraton compare? Looking forwards to a comparison. Keep up the good work :)
Trust me, the EXB is amazing! Personally I prefer it over the Xmaxx, but Amber’s prefers the Xmaxx. Exb videos coming very soon and let me tell you, made the Xmaxx jump look like a baby 👶😅
@@TheRcKiwis For me its great, I know that might seem a odd response since I've already bought a Kraton but its more I wanted something bigger, I haven't had it out loads due to weather here in UK being crap but I've gave it a few good bashes without any problems, last time I had it out properly I was jumping it and kept smacking it into ground, ended up with 1 of ESC cables coming unsoldered but nothing broke which surprised about since it was only like 3c outside, friend of mine is also looking to get involved in hobby but with a Mojave EXB
@@Zillawill that’s awesome! The Mojave is an amazing truck!! Certainly can’t go wrong with picking one of them up! 😁 if you haven’t, check out our big bash session with it, it took some serious abuse!
Love you guys all the way from NJ USA 🇺🇸 YOU SHOULD TRY to zip tie the go pro … you guys have a promo code coupon for this truck…. Way to land the jumps Amber♥️
I’ve been watching your videos for awhile. Do you guys live in Hong Kong? You might have mentioned it and I missed it? It seems like a lot of your videos are filmed there?
We love the Green! Our second fav was the red. They are crazy expensive! Lucky in HK there's no import tax so get the retail price 😁 Glad you enjoyed the video! Stick around for many more to come! 😊

You guys have got to be my FAVORITE RC TUBERS. I really enjoy your content.
Thank you so much Troy!! 🤩 We appreciate you!
I miss you guys. Please come back. Always loved your videos especially the ones in HK.
Exactly what happened to my xmaxx too. The front wouldn't return. What fixed it was opening up the shock caps and moving the shock shaft up and down to remove any air. I found that my shock caps was just a bit loose. I have a feeling after a big impact it burped and had negative air pressure.
I love this! If you land it properly the Xmaxx holds up super well!
Glad you loved it!! The Xmaxx sure is a BEAST and held up very well! 😁
A hobby wing max6 esc wig stock motor will be a killer set up. If you do upgrade the motor I'd do 1100kv as 800kv in my view is overkill.
Man you guys have amazing video editing!
From the shots, to the music to the timing of it and the quality! Top notch!!
Keep it up! :D
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed the video 😊 another one going up in an hour or so don’t miss it! 😉

By the way ... good tip . I will deffo try that when I get brave enough 😁
I got an XMAXX TOO loving it so far!! broke both bumper mounts...
Nice intro guys. Got me fired up for another bash today again. Kiwi tough. You guys rock the vids. Awesome jumps and session.
Aww thank you so much!!! 😊😊
You should have said "Beam me up Kiwi" lol
We have a proline brute body on our xmaxx at 3x7 outdoor and it is indestructible!
Fun video guys and gals. The XMAXX is a beast of a basher, and can get around a track pretty good, for the BEAST of a truck that it is.
Great place,great xmaxx,great driving,great smiles = GREAT VIDEO!!!
Mine breaks just about every time I take it out. All the electronics & motor had to be warranties 2 months after I got it. 5 months of ownership, prolly well over $500 in parts and countless hours of wrenching.
Great job at the backflips both of you. Joe your a pro now. That was exciting to watch Amber hit her first off the BigBlack Ramp!! 👍👍💪💪👏👏😎
I was looking for vids on the traxxas Xmaxx.
Instead I found you guys and got a Trixxas Xmixx. Time for some fesh and chops!
Wow you were so lucky to stumble upon us 😉
“And here we have it The Beast” cut to Amber waving back 😂🤣
At least you quickly back peddled to say “not you Amber” nice save 👍👌👍
Love you guys 🥰
Haha he could have been in some serious trouble if he didn’t back track it as fast as he did! Thank you, Claire ❤️😊
@@TheRcKiwis you are always so upbeat .... proper feel good factor to the max 🥰

Just got my orange xmaxx so far loving the looks of it, now just waiting for the batteries
Woooo! That’s awesome!
Nice that’s the Truck that started my TH-cam channel, great Monster Truck! Subbed
That’s Awesome!! Thank you 🙏🏽 😊
Try some shrink tube over the rear cover on ic5 connectors so they dont crack or goes off again
Thanks for the advice! Will need to get some! 🍻
I miss this place. That big black ramp was the original Jackie Chan! 🥋
We will be back soon! 😉
Rpm front and rear hub and harden steel pinion and spur gear and spray the truck in WD40(dont spray on electrics)
can you put a link to a good hardened steel pinion?
The RC channel on youtube that I like more.
Love you guys :)

Thank you so much 😊❤️
Gnarly editing on this one! Good stuff 🤙
Thank you man! Glad you enjoyed 😁
Some people make great videos and some people know how to make great videos and also know how to backflip properly. You are the 2nd.
Keep it up
☺️ Thank you so much!
Any tips on the hoss, guys? Thanks for making my hobby greater. I have been into the hobby for about three years

Heat up the double sided tape on the gopro mount before you stick it on,
Usually sticks a lot better,
Great vid too👍
Oooh thanks for the tip!
Thank you so much 😊
Is Traxxas still installing that faulty ESC, the one that can burst into flames.
Amber with the big jumps!? awesome stuff
Pretty proud of her for those epic jumps! 😁

Yeah I think I’m definitely getting X maxx for my next RC. Great backflips from both of you guys👍
Good choice! Cheers ! 🍻
