I am buying a 2 month used X MAXX FOR 1/2 the price of new and I suspect I’ll be doing the same fiddly bull crap that people seem to be neglecting, B it you explain the problem and differences very clearly and your camera work is outstanding! So just Thanks!
Man this video just saved me!! Lol thank you! I just ran my new xmaxx today for the first time. Got it up to 62mph and heard a grind then the motor spent but the car wouldn’t move. When I changed to the 46t gear I didn’t put the motor back in front of this bracket like you showed in the vid. Thank!!! New subscriber
I bought a used axmaxx and just rebuilt it because you know you never know what’s in there anyways I would’ve never known about the Kush drive being torn to pieces if I didn’t rebuild it and take my God blessed time. I did replace it but good to know that this could be the cause of me strip in spurs in the future
I managed to strip 4 or 5 Traxxas spur gears within the first 6 months of ownership 😂😂 it was probably due to that part in the Cush drive being damaged. now I have a gpm one in and have not had problems since.
Thanks, that’s probably wye my gear dripped as soon as I replaced it, not in front of the plate!! 👍 is it possible to refit the motor with out the pins, are they just a guide ??
To all please buy part from Traxxas or others # 7786x the block part bearing support for the pinion gear and you could replace your Cush drive it may be a bit longer for this bearing shaft support and there is a cutout already for it !
I think the “pin system” doesn’t work well at all for the 18T/46T gearing. It’s too tight. The optional 46T that came with the car is a pinion shredder.
I've stripped 2 pinions so far, 1 was incorrect mesh and the other the pinion came loose... So gonna use some loctite this time, not sure why I didn't last time🤦♂️ just forget I guess🤦♂️🤦♂️
4:05 It happened to me, I stripped the spur and pinion because of it, and my local hobby shop couldn't find what's wrong, so it ended up changing the whole chassis😑
I stripped one in my maxx not x maxx in 20 minutes of owning it because it was in the wrong pin because I couldn’t find a pin chart so I guessed and I got it wrong

Yeah It happend with my last xmaxx. Pretty annoying 🤣
And expensive 😂
Yeah £15 a spur 😂
Why does the pos company do it in the first place.1500 bucks worth of useless crap I have now.
Erm…. These issues are all meant to make the car stronger granted you know what you’re doing… that’s why they do it
This was helpful for setting the mesh, especially the front part of the motor.
Thanks very helpful straight to the point .
Thanks for the tips bud.

They are but they hep keep it in place. Safer just to use them . Plus why wouldnt you? Is there a reason not to

Not for jumping
I have the same yellow tube on my receiver wire
I ordered mine as green lol to fit the colour of the shocks . But oh well looks cool haha
@@ClarkesMadRcs yeah it stands out when next to all the black and gray plastic on mine
Yea man !

Yeah I got green locktite and got an impact driver lol
@@ClarkesMadRcs my loctite is the cheapest one I could find on eBay a year ago😂
F N. A And yes I subscribed!
Great job thanks
That notch you used your screwdriver to pop the cush drive lid, it's for a telemetry magnet for rpm.
They dont do that for the xmaxx
6:47 that's what she said 🤣
🤣
Nice work
Cheers man
I stripped my motor mount screw 😔
Damn dude . I wouldn't run the cat with a stripped motor mount screw as you could nackerd your motor
@@ClarkesMadRcs well too late already running it rn 😂🤣
😂
I ran my xmaxx for the first time today.. stripped spur and pin in about 5 min... very disappointing RTR experience.
Rub a magnet on the driver a few times an don't have to hold the screws
good job
Keep striping gears on my xrt... very annoying...cheers lad..

great
👏🏼👏🏼
Thankyou
F thanks I’ll give it a try
I literally used my brand new xmaxx for like 10mins then the pinion lost about 10 teeth and the spur lost about 1
Mine too.So pizzed right now.
Landing full power I am guessing
👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻
If you put a magnet on the top of your wrench than the screw won't fall off when you're trying to install a screw pointing down
Thank you fam for the info needed it to darth ADCIDIAN AD HERE
F great job
Annoying that you use the iPhone text message noise throughout the video.
