![TRAXXAS MAXX Speed Run [3s vs 4s]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/opGz3Wtw_40/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm really surprised how accurate the speeds advertised were. Nice vid :)
Appreciate it! I was surprised too! I was thinking maybe around 36-37 on 3S and maybe 52-53 on 4s
I just ordered this rc and this video is the best video to show it off and show what it can do can’t wait for mine
Glad you liked it! Enjoy your new Traxxas Maxx!
awesome speed runs
Thanks!
Cool, I took my Maxx to my local track and it was a handful to drive but it did well until the steel spur gear it had got destroyed the pinion was fine. but i went ahead and ordered the stock setup the 24t pinion and 50t spur i'll see if it works or if i'll have to gear it back down. in that order i got parts to convert my stampede 4x4 into a hoss so i don't have to buy another vehicle and get rid of the other one.
That’s a cool idea man! That will help save you some money…hopefully that gearing works out for you!
@@RCKnockout Yeah i ordered the plastic spur gear due to my budget being low. even if the plastic one fails it's only 3 bucks to replace it compared it 18.
@@cjchannel12RC that’s true. Saves your pinion from being ruined along with your spur gear
Nice Car is my favorite 👍
Thanks! Yeah it’s a cool rc!
Great Vid as usual, I have another tip for you, this can be and should be applied IMO to any RC with heatsink/fan combo.
So the Maxx had a problem with breaking the blades on the fans, and there’s plenty of “fixes” on TH-cam for the older Maxx about that and also Traxxas put foam(which your Maxx should have) to prevent blades from breaking BUT I haven’t seen one for adding foam underneath the fan in between fan and heatsink.
I have broken a few plastic fans where the blades were fine but the arms that hold the fan in midair fail and break and make the fan useless even though no blades broke. In most cases an aluminum fan will correct the issue, In some cases you are not able to fit an aluminum fan.
So what I do to have full protection of my fans is
Place a thick enough self adhesive foam that will support the bottom of the fan and make contact with the heatsink beneath the fan just enough so it supports the fan and the g-forces do not take a toll on the arms holding the fan and break. Normally I place it on the fan sticker that tells you the specs( DC Brushless fan/ 6v/ Brand name). You can tell it’s thick enough because the foam will have formed to the heat sink and leave an impression. I do this for both motor and ESC.
Sorry to make you read so much.
Thanks for the tips man! So far no issues…so the adhesive goes under the fan blades right up against the heatsink? How does the adhesive hold when the heatsink gets hot?
@@RCKnockout On your Maxx, let’s pretend you took off the Motor fan housing , so you would remove the 4 screws and unclip the fan housing.
You turn the fan housing upside down to see the fan. The fan stays in place, apply the foam to the side of the fan you can see while it’s in the housing, it should be the side of the fan that won’t spin when the truck is on.
If you stick it to the heatsink it’ll attract dust and dirt from the gaps. I hope that makes sense
So after you apply the foam you reinstall the fan housing back on to the motor heatsink just like you removed it and sandwich the foam between the fan and the heatsink.
One time I put too thick of a foam and the fan would bind and not spin so just check for that.
@@RFHX2_6.0 So the adhesive goes under the fan blades resting on the fan mount? Not the motor heatsink?
@@RCKnockout I think I’m confusing you, and there isn’t any modifications, all that will be used is foam and it can be easily removed if you chose to do so like if nothing was ever done.
You would apply the foam on what would be the bottom face( when installed) of the fan that is stationary that faces the heat sink.
For example on your slash the “V” velineon fan kit for the ESC. That has a specification sticker that’s silver and green and the wires are visible coming from the fan motor. That is the side you would apply it, right on the silver and green specification sticker.
One of the best trucks on the market.
It’s a pretty sweet rig!
You exactly right
I failed to mention that my widebody maxx is the only monster truck I need or want. I just bought two yes mean two maxx slashes
They are the only short course trucks I will ever want. They are the best I've ever driven. The maxx slashes I only run on street
I have a maxx it’s awesome you can beat the hell out of it and it just keeps on going
Is your’s basically stock?
@@RCKnockout yea it’s all stock and it rips on a 4s
@@timschultes6467 nice man!
I love my maxx
It’s a pretty sweet rig!!
Cool vid! How’s the 100mph slash doing?
Thanks…Still working on it..
Dope video brotha love this truck I bought a 1/10 summit instead I'm more into hikes and trails and camping n stuff I felt the summit was a better fit but this maxx is super cool
The Summit definitely is more of a trail rig!
Need to add a Trx4 in as a trail truck. I've got both a Defender and the '79 Bronco with a Hobbywing Fusion 1800KV in each. With a 3s Traxxas pack I still haven't hit the low voltage cutoff and I typically hike about 7+ miles. Mixed Crawling, "high" speed runs and some small jumping in at random in each hike.
Not bashing the Summit, it's a cool truck. Just passing along some future advice.
I've got a backlog of video I need to edit and post on my channel, I've been having issues with my GoPro. Took my Bronco out today and got some video on my phone that I'm going to upload tonight or tomorrow. If the weather holds I'm taking my Defender out to a local state park. Feel free to check it out.
@@ncrc4468 I’ll definitely have to! Yeah I like trailing but I prefer challenging climbs a bit more. That battery last quite a while for you!
@@RCKnockout how long does your summit run on 2 2s?
@@josephplato8404 depends on the terrain. Sand really drains the batteries down fast
Spot on!
Yeah I was kinda surprised to be honest
It definitely moves. Need one of these in my collection.
For sure! It definitely does move!!
@@RCKnockout I have a x maxx and thinking about getting maxx how does it compare
@@tktk-om8cg I’d say it’s faster than the Xmaxx…watch my next couple videos you’ll find out a lot more about the maxx and what I think
@@RCKnockout yeah im waiting on your next video wonder will it take abuse like x maxx
@@tktk-om8cg Time will tell. I’ve definitely learned a few things that I like and don’t like about it since getting it
Speed claims were spot on. You might have to get some belted tires for it. That is a good place to mount the GPS, it fits perfect!
It does fit well but if I get in a crash or the wheelie bar flexes it might not stay in place. You’re right that I’ll probably need belted tires. But these might be better for bashing and jumping though
@@RCKnockout 👍
Belted tires offer more control but less top speed. I also acheived 55 mph on the stock tires but lost 10 mph with a set of Proline Defenders which annoys the crap out of me. Had I known, I would have stuck with the shit stock tires. All in all, I have grown bored of the Maxx and Traxxas products as a whole. All of the propeitary nonsense makes this tough to modify. Plus, owning both a Talion exb and the new Kraton 8s exb plus an Hpi Wr8, the Maxx is pretty inferior to all of those. It is impressive it hits 55 mph but only in near perfect situations in terms of a long and smooth road and in moderate temperatures. Most of the time it hovers around 50 mph. My other vechiles will hit tops speeds without everything being perfect but then again each is significantly more powerful. At the end of the day this is an overpriced piece of plastic designed for entry level rc people hence the lack of power.
Get the Traxxas WIDEMAXX kit
Definitely count on it!
Nice
Rc guys say “get her turned on” more than anyone.
That might be true lol 😂
🚘
its my dream to have one of these
Save up your money and you’ll have one someday! 😉
It’s a good one to get very durable and fast
Epic it’s fast my arrma senton could race it
Yeah it is pretty darn quick! It probably would be a great race with your Senton
What GPS is that? That thing is accurate 😂😂
Actually this isn’t the speed meter…I’m sorry don’t remember the brand?
@@RCKnockout ah it's fine, I got a rustler 4x4 vxl and it's awesome! Traxxas Maxx is my next goal!!! Don't have enough yet 😂
Traxxas rustler is my first Traxxas rc to and it's fantastic!
@@zaflashzach8011 nice man! I haven’t had any experience with the Rustler but it sounds pretty cool 😎
Traxxes DON'T PLAY they know there stuff
Yeah they do!
I know
