mine is doing great with the 10mm offset hubs ..and trimmed the wheel wells ..works awesome with the 27tooth pinion and 46tooth spur ..like all Makes of RCs ..any RC needs tuning ..part of the hobby ..great video L2
It wasn’t designed to jump 30 feet , I agree with you. I think guys see 6S and automatically assume you prepare for launch. For $1000 here in Canada, too many issues when it first came out. I treat R/Cs like real cars, meaning when a brand new model comes out that’s never existed, I don’t rush out and buy it. I wait and see how things shake out, because there’s always bugs.
Thank you for your service!! Second, wow! You just started a war with PF! Third thank you for your honesty! Fourth, I agree, dealerships have to push the products. Or they get shut out! And finally I love the people like you that BUY the products and give their honest reviews! Keep it up!😊
@frederickgrassie3383 thank you very much for the great comment I am not trying to start a war lol he called me out when this was released and he is at it again and I have people coming back to my channel so I just wanted to set things straight I appreciate the support
I have personally bought a kreton exb v2 6s and 8s from Marc and a xmaxx and widemaxx v2, and he sells great cars and has excellent customer service. I do see your side if he called you out and you wanted to defend yourself and his side as a dealer trying to sell cars. Personally I myself stayed away from the maxx slash because of videos like yours and razors and do rc. I don’t think that’s a bad thing though. It doesn’t look as good as a Mojave 6s based off the videos, and that’s why I’m not going to buy. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I will still continue to purchase from parkflyers. Marc has always been great to me and sold me top notch products. Traxxis is the one at fault here. They need to step up their game.
Love the Maxx slash. I send the s#$t out of it. I now have a xmaxx esc running stock motor on 8s with the wide Maxx kit on it. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea but for me it's a monster 💪.
Unfortunately there are to many “you tubers” that only hype up an rc because they are paid w/o providing an honest review of an rc. Thankfully they are a handful of channels, like yours, which provide rc enthusiasts with honest reviews. Thank you for your service.
I agree with you, except for the point about Razor RC launching the truck off jumps. Traxxas marketed this truck as a basher and featured it at a skatepark in their promotional video. Razor's point was that Traxxas shouldn't have marketed it that way if they didn't want TH-camrs to run the truck similar to how it was being marketed. Other than that, I think you're spot on.
Thank younso much it's a short course truck it's not for bashing you hit nail on it i have one myself I'm a com. I draw a check to many surgerys I'm glad you said that
@@gregganderson5479 same here I have a lot of Traxxas cars but this v the Mojave its not even a comparison the Mojave wins hands down in my opinion. I really had high hopes for it the maxx slash does ok now with repairs but it cant compete
I just picked up the same rig a couple weeks ago….havent had a chance to run it yet because of the snowy weather … Im not a fan of Traxxas electronics and eventually plan to swap out a better esc/motor…..for now I’m just going to change battery plugs so I can run the batteries I have …..don’t care about any warrantee for say anyway….. A castle 1520 /1650kv motor fits perfect and a monster mamba X 8s will do the trick. Probably won’t be able to run 8s due to battery size…but should still be fun on 6s.
I really don't have a problem with the electronics I think it has good power. I do wish the esc had more programming options but as far as power I am happy. Hope the weather clears up so you can enjoy it.
Trust me I know I dare said price aside the Jato was a solid rc same with the Mini maxx for entry level rc on 2s its pretty good. Ohh I added spacers to the rear it really helped with the front end drop I have some more stuff coming for it lol
@@GreatLakesRC Thank you I have the hobby shop to thank for all of that but what a difference I am still waiting on one more item and I think this will be interesting as well cant wait
$700 and you have to then spend another $700 just to get to drive as well as an Arrma Mojave. No thanks. My esc blew after two weeks of owning it and Traxxas made me send the whole truck back to them which cost $80. I've since traded it. Traxxas charges a premium for a bare bones system and then expect you to pay a fortune on upgrades just to get it on par with the competition which is terrible. I've lost track of how many receivers have gone bad not to mention the several esc's that have also bitten the dust. Many were right out of the box defective. These are issues that I never have with other brands.
Thats the only thing I have had gone out is receivers so far nothing else but yeah owning both rc's the Mojave is just a better product I agree it has more suspension and runs better in my opinion. Thank you for watching and the comment
I agree for a major company I keep wanting to see something ground breaking not reused parts and then thats not done right. There is so much competition now they better pay attention
This is why you are my main channel for content. I have a few requests, I'd love to see you compare the new 6s Kraton with last year's Kraton EXB. Not sure if the update for the black edition Spektrum esc is available or not, hopefully soon. Also would love for you to compare the 4s Maxx with the 4s Valkyrie. I really think the Redcat is superior, now that I've driven both for quite a while but would love your take on the two.
Thank you very much for trusting my reviews. I actually have a 1 year with the exb Kraton coming out soon and I talked about why I am not getting the new one. Its not worth it for electronics because you can just update yours and its the same. True story when I bought the 4s Kraton v 2.5 as we called it with the center diff it has the black esc. The first time out I lost the power button. Arrma sent me a new esc and it was orange. I called to complain they said its the same esc just update the software, So I was like thats fine I can do that but you need a programmer a lot of people dont have one so they said they can send me a black one. I updated the software and sure enough all the settings were there its all in the software they changed the color to make it look new. I dont have a Maxx so I cant compare it I was really hoping they would put it on sale but that seems to be the one they skipped over
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife That is very good information. I did not know that the orange, original version could be updated to the same firmware as the black edition. I don't own the 4s Kraton but I do own a 6s Talion EXB that has the orange 150 amp esc. I assume that can also be updated as well. The only problem is, my programmer is not working now. The screen is blank when connected. This is the second programmer that broke and it really annoys me. Is the latest update available yet?
@XWXW-lk4jf Not.sure what the latest is I haven't checked but I.just put a Spektrum esc in my Hobao Hyper MTX I updated that and wow that big.rc is insane now so maybe it is the latest.
Yeah buddy!.. i remember messaging you asking if you seen the park flyer video.. I don't think I've watched another one since.. I have no issues with him or his channel.. but everything that is said seems to be a bit loaded.. basically just a sales pitch.. but there were definitely issues with this truck.. and someone who drives a good handful of vehicles would know it right away.. if you look in the first images of this truck.. they (traxxas) have the shock riser parts already installed (part #10234). but never told anyone else it needed them.. and honestly should of just came with them out of the box.. (I sent you the image I'm talking about) great video man!
I remember you sharing that and seeing him call me out saying we did it for views and didnt understand the rc?? Then he puts all the parts on and shows him driving it hey look its fine. Yeah once its upgraded it does ok but you pay a premium for Traxxas and you expect a premium product. I appreciate the support
@ParkflyersRC Did it run for crap out of the box yes! This is not some cheap China off brand. At 700 dollars it should not need springs and servo saver to be usable. Yes because I am honest I showed that with certain upgrades it can be a decent rc. Yes and they are called ANTI sway they dont induce sway are a joke if you had real automotive knowledge and see how a real one works these rc bars are crap. You modified and hide what it was out of the box you showed it modified I showed the put of the box experience I never said don't buy it people can and did make a.decision based on what they saw. Fact that I fixed and and showed the potential once upgraded shows I am impartial and truthful

I really enjoyed this video. I always feel different about that RC after watching you run it…
Thank you for the support I appreciate it
For that price it’s pure trash, unless you upgrade it.
I own many, many Traxxas rigs, but gonna keep running my two 6s Mojaves and pass on the Maxx Slash. 🙂
