i snapped the 4990 motor shaft too. i just think the truck is too heavy for the 5mm shaft with more power than stock. i switched to the 5690 for the stronger 8mm shaft and mod 1.5 gearing instead. no problems so far.
Last time I saw you do a video on your front porch was when you got your first outcast 8s exb. Probably a couple years ago. Nobody knew who thunder was! Look at you now! You earned it!
I have the same setup almost. Max6 g2, 1650kv, m2c chassis brace and m2c wide kit, but bowhouse motor mount is hands down best motor mount. That pnw has vertical slots for the motor mount screws and they will slow move the mesh closer and closer together. Especially with your epic bashing lol I built me a ramp just like yours, just to scared to use it full throttle yet.
Hey Thunder! The cause for the schaft breaking is the recess it has. It tapers from 6 mm to 5 mm, and that is a natural breaking point. I broke one on my xmaxx, and i have two more friends who broke the same motor, on their xmaxx's, on the exact same spot. I bet yours broke in the same spot 😅. That motor is a beast, it has alot of power, and is so smooth, BUT it is clearly not good for bashing on xmaxx, who flexes so much. There is another TH-camr who broke that motor on a Outcast 8S, so... After i broke mine, i tore apart that rotor, and big surprise: in the center, the schaft is 8 mm, then tapers to 6 mm (inside) and then to 5 mm (outside). I really don't know why HW did that..and they don't even offer the rotor as a spare part.. The solution is the 1250SN (g2) motor. You won't break that 8mm rotor 😂
Bro, that quad was mental. The beating these two trucks take is unbelievable. The broken motor shaft is a bummer though, but it's not the X-Maxx's fault, I guess. Awesome video and bashing. Peace out - Tireblaster.
I would love to hear what your neighbors think about the death ramp! Lol . There probably scared one of your rigs is going to come through their roof! Lol
That Maxx Slash Truggafied is bonkers... Quad was HUGE! I'd put that M2C copy (😂😉) brace back on there and that plastic top brace back on there, way too much flex from tower to tower.... Even that top brace helps as it connects to several points on the chassis allowing flex but limiting it somewhat. I hate replacing that brace as well, I've broken more than 5 and I don't run my XMaxx that often. Bummer on that motor shaft. I have a 1280kv from my Outcast that's got a 80mm shaft I think it runs perfect if you have one lying around. See ya round brother
I was curious to fix a high power cheap drone like a mjx bugs or the newer version to a 1/10 RC and see what happens on regular non flipping jumps . Might have to start with a 1/16 😂
Did you have a rear motor support for the motor? That would help a lot to preserve the motor and gears. The xmaxx flexes a lot as you know. You can probably drop in the m2c rear motor support when you get a new motor.
So with the PNW rc motor mount the rear motor support doesn’t work because it creates a hinge point. I had a block of wood under motor supporting it perfectly. Motor mount was solid as a rock. I just thing that the motor shaft was not up to the job that I was given it.
Nothing is preventing the motor from springing with the chassis the other direction. That’s the problem with heavy bashing using any composite chassis.
Also the new hobby wing 1250kv max6 combo has a bigger motor shaft maybe give that motor a try your motor mount will hold it just fine I’ve never broken mine I have bow house motor mount witch is almost exactly to the pnw mount
Man you sent them like never before 💯💥💪 This is the path I followed for the MaxxSlash, it’s a beast of a truck 💯 I hope Hobbywing will find you a not too expensive solution to replace this shaft🤞 Congratulations again for this extreme RC scene⚡⚡⚡ my friend ✌️
Damn bro that’s the second broken motor shaft on a hobbywing motor 😳. That sucks. If they were smart they would replace your motor and take the broken one and let their R&D department try and figure out a way to stop those shafts from breaking… as many people that watch you Hobbywing would be dumb not to take care of you. In my opinion
Maybe Hobbywing have switched to using our favourite metal type ...Chineseium.lol.✌️Sweet Stunting Rocky.Oh,how the hell is that Traxxas Max Slash holding up.I have seen the sheer hell you have given that rig from day one.✌️💥
Rocky, if that motor is new...you have a warranty on it. Sure it will take a while for them to send you a new one, or new internals. Go through the process, don't loose that $150.
I don't think that's I've ever seen someone go from a front flip to a backflip in the same jump. Your skills are just insane bro. Are those tires Traxxas Sledgehammers?
Question Would you recommend "Not" putting steel drive shaft on a Maxx if i'm putting aluminum steering blocks on it running on 3s but I just broke one and i'm about to upgrade to some aluminum parts we do a lot of bashing lol like you looks for some help i'm thinking about sticking with plastic drive shaft
I have a question why do you run the 1650kv and not the 1100kv is it faster does the 1650 get hot I have a few 1650kv and a few 1100kv I’ve never run the 1650 in my xmaxx or xrt I just figured it wasn’t big enough so I went 1100kv for the torch I’m talking about the 56/90 1100kv
1200 $ Xmaxx and your spray painting it like it's a ghetto trash truck that looks like crap bro but I love your videos there the best bashing videos out there.😂

No 1 for rc bashing from a professional judge, hands down THUNDER RC 🏅🏆🏅 insane rc bashing from both vehicles bro 🎉😃💯👍
Thank you sooo much!! I truly appreciate it!💪⚡️🏆🏆🏆🏆🔥🔥🔥

What an amazing video!!!
I cant believe how good you are with the control of the xmaxx!
Just amazing man.
Thanks a ton! I try my best!💪🏆🏆🏆🔥🔥⚡️🔥🏆
Yes indeed...he is really good
And that’s why I should have watched the video to the end 😅 the pnw motor mount did that. Go with bowhouse and you won’t have that problem at all
This is HOBBYWING thank you for you purchase, don’t sent the truck 90 FT high and it won’t break. Thank you for you business once again 🎉🎉🎉
Funny.
- on the other hand don't make your expensive motors shaft from Chinese pot metal😂
Those beasts went high bro! You gotta get the Mojave 4s man! Toughest truck on the planet!
Thank you brother! Yes I need to get that truck soon!💪⚡️⚡️🏆🏆🔥
Going bigger and badder then ever! LOVE IT!
Awesome video brother but as far as your motor shaft breaking that’s a first for me bro all you can do is fix it and try it again LOL!!!!
Truly appreciate it man! Thanks so much!🏆🔥🔥🔥🔥⚡️⚡️💪
Bro, that quad was mental. The beating these two trucks take is unbelievable. The broken motor shaft is a bummer though, but it's not the X-Maxx's fault, I guess. Awesome video and bashing. Peace out - Tireblaster.
Thanks a ton brother! I had a blast yesterday man! Wish you could have been there bro! 💪🏆⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Its a common fail in xmaxx...its to weak the 5mm shaft!
I will propose the 5690 motor with thicker shaft...but its a little bit more heavy!
That is a great idea! Thanks so much! 💪⚡️⚡️🔥🏆🏆🏆
I would love to hear what your neighbors think about the death ramp! Lol . There probably scared one of your rigs is going to come through their roof! Lol
8mm motor shafts for the win
That Maxx Slash Truggafied is bonkers... Quad was HUGE!

Great bash! Which is your favourite RC?
Thank you! XMAxx and Maxx Slash is my favorite!💪⚡️⚡️🏆🏆
Yup, i snapped 1650kv motor shaft, and later on, the hobbywing 6 esc blew up 😆 wished I had the camera rolling at the time. Stock is the way to go.

@@thunderrc call then and they’ll set you up with a discount to upgrade it replace. Maybe 1250kv 8mm shaft?

I have never seen a motor shaft break. So that’s on them. - Absolutely amazing jumps and landings Team Thunder. Love the Maxx Slash!!
Just looked on line and it looks like you can buy just the rotor and shaft. May save you some money.
Awesome! Thank you bro!⚡️🏆🏆⚡️⚡️

Awesome bro, you're getting better and better and better! 💪

Is that something hobbywing will replace??

The dude 👍👏🦅
Man, I heard those hobbywing motor will kill xmaxx rear ring gear and input gear, like your xrt, you got a solution?
So far the metal diff covers seem to fix that problem bro!💪⚡️⚡️⚡️
@@thunderrcdo you shim the diff's?
💯th😎
What diff fluid are you running in your xmaxx Sir?
I have a question why do you run the 1650kv and not the 1100kv is it faster does the 1650 get hot I have a few 1650kv and a few 1100kv I’ve never run the 1650 in my xmaxx or xrt I just figured it wasn’t big enough so I went 1100kv for the torch I’m talking about the 56/90 1100kv
1200 $ Xmaxx and your spray painting it like it's a ghetto trash truck that looks like crap bro but I love your videos there the best bashing videos out there.😂
E mail hobby wing and send it back. If you have receit they will replace
