Sometimes you just have to call it like you see it. What is the TRUTH about the Traxxas Maxx V2? Is it better? Is it durable? Is is the best RC Monster Truck available?
#TraxxasMaxx #Traxxas #MaxxV2
I don't know why people want a monster truck to handle perfectly, I want a bit of yaw, a bit of lean, I want them to behave like a monster truck, makes the driving experience so fun.
This desire for great handling monster trucks is destroying that part of the market IMO, due to this most of them now are all large buggies, kudos to Traxxas keeping it real... lifting the inside wheel out of corners gets my vote 😀
Hell yeah i could not agree more. Thats why i love my xmaxx and mini maxx.
Yes exactly what i was thinking, i have a flat chassis buggy and a truggy for handling, but i bought a maxx for fun, it can get boring if the car handles perfectly (unless your racing it), i want to see some body roll and i like the high chassis styling even if it makes it top heavy its a fun truck.
Hell yeah brother !!!
The very reason I’m about to buy my very first RC Truck/Car, period.
I consider myself a pro at breaking rc trucks that being said I’ve owned this truck for 6 months and it’s the first one a haven’t broken on the first day lol.the wheels come loose and I just wore out the spur gear.3 bucks for the spur gear and looking to upgrade the hubs soon .best truck ever puts a smile on my face every time.also I’m a basher not a racer I would recommend this truck to anyone.
Personally speaking, working on the MAXX is simple, I have the solar flare V1, upgraded with wide maxx kit and steel traxxas cvd's its now a beast, the longer chassis is what I do not have, however I think the shorter chassis is the way to stay, so to say lol, I have NO problem sticking with the TRAXXAS, in my experience with dealing with horizon after they gained control of arrma, losi, and axial, their quality control has failed me big time, long live TRAXXAS
Couldn't agree more with your entire post. I have the exact same upgrades and feel exactly the same way. I personally disagree with everything he states in this video. Aluminum chassis' are way different vehicles all together so comparing plastic to metal is the same as comparing apples to oranges. Razor's opinions are extremely biased and completely inaccurate imo. My issue is he delivers false information to the unknowing and wrongfully paints a dim picture of a fabulous product which clearly is the industry leader. Traxxas rose up from the 80s to be the kings of RC bashing after leaving the racing circuit. Long live Traxxas! Horizon is dead to me! Not even close to the same quality and their cars weigh a ton. Once you dent that aluminum chassis' go see how much it costs to replace. Razor's quick to bash the plastic parts but fails to tell you that the metal parts of arrma cars are 2 to 4 times more money than Traxxas parts! He doesn't tell you that though. He just plays devil's advocate with every Traxxas vehicle out there. Also the E Revo is far more difficult to work on than the maxx, which razor does not mention either. He says that the e revo is a better vehicle which is not true. The E Revo WAS... their dedicated race vehicle when Traxxas was still into dominating the racing circuit and the e revo did just that. If you go back and look, it dominated every circuit it raced on. And therefore it is extremely difficult and involved to repair. It was specifically meant and intended for experienced racers, especially compared to the Maxx which was designed for ease of repair. I'm pretty sure razor does not even know this information because he was not even around when Traxxas was dominating in the 80s. He talks like he has no understanding of the history of the E-Revo. He's ignorant in this area. His entire post is completely inaccurate. I would not listen to anything he claims. It's all false information. The chassis is extremely strong. He admits it is a durable vehicle but yet contradicts himself and bashes the very servo system which makes it so durable. He even admits that he has never broken this servo. And it typically doesn't break unless you completely abuse the vehicle. He really has no idea what he's talking about. He gives Traxxas a bad name and should be ashamed of himself.
@@mezzyshredder perfectly said brother
@@mezzyshredder yessir 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Spoken like a true traxxas FanBOi
@@x3dominator28 spoken like a true traxxas hater
What a beast, congratulations!
You know I had my Tmaxx out tonight after running my Xmaxx and Maxx and I’m telling you the Tmaxx put a huge smile on my face.
I wish Traxxas would throw us a bone and give us a wide maxx kit that fits the Tmaxx.
Thank you for your dedication to this fantastic hobby!
Why worry about the plastic drive shafts if they don't break? Less weight, less break.
The plastic driveshafts are fine, just don't know why Traxxas charges you like the whole truck is made out of metal. If it's all plastic, it should be $450.
Handling isn’t great. I can’t get mine to not chassis slap even with WideMaxx springs and 90 weight oil. Not my fastest RC truck at all but I tell you what it’s always my go too. A ton of confidence in just grabbing it, throwing a battery in and bashing with no worries. Never broke a thing even after many “ohhhh crap” moments.
Definitely the best go-to truck where it's always ready for action and will come home in one piece.
It's DESIGNED to chassis slap, stop trying to eliminate it.
The chassis is a whole lot better at absorbing energy than your shock shafts or springs.
Why do you think it would be present out of the box? Engineers don't make decisions of the sort for no reason...
Fully agree, the kush drive and bucket proof construction make my version 1 one one of my highest mileage rigs. It’s issues are landing and power. I do a lot of grass running which makes the lower power much more noticeable. I just picked up a v2 which I’m going to put a 6s system in, and I’ll keep my og max on 4s. It does jump horribly but it’s a great rc to run when your practicing something new that’s going to have you crashing a lot.
You want chassis slap… without it, you will be snapping arms constantly.
🤣🤣 you probably run metal arms
These things are absolute weapons believe me.. they thrive in open to semi open areas.. sick fast machines get one!
Personally I think the price on the Maxx 4s is too high in general, I think it should be 150$ cheaper
$420 would be a great price
Anything under 5 , I mean it was over 6 with taxes crazy
O wonder how stacks against the kaju v1
I really want one but will not pay over 600$ after taxes. I don't care how good an rc is I want good value and not feel like I'm being ripped off on the price which sadly is a common theme with traxxas and why I don't own any.... Great review Razor! I got some of these sledgehammers for my jlb cheetah and love em! Not too small or big.
I felt same but succumbed many people can't rc because of traxxas pricing pritoratary crap
I heard you guys and Iam starting to see other brands starting to follow some of the ways Traxxas does business. $589.00 is a hard pill to swallow. If my son wasn’t to heavy into the hobby, i might of not bought the Maxx, cus we have 2 Xmaxx’s 😉👍🏼💯 even the new HPI V2 Savage is about $720-730. Nice truck however kinda on the expensive side, for what you get!
Traxxas is not overpriced. The others just aren't offering the quality or customer service or ease of parts available and that costs a little more. You get what you pay for. That's what you are paying for. You get more, so you pay more. Simple economics. With the level of popularity of Traxxas vehicles, it's obvious their client base has no problem paying their prices. At the end of the day, their products are better than anything horizon is putting out. Good vehicles, from Horizon, just not quite the quality of Traxxas. And Horizon customer service is completely incomparable to Traxxas customer support, with Traxxas being open 7 days a week, and always being able to get a rep within a couple of minutes. And they always find a solution to the issue at hand. Can't beat Traxxas when you're really in a jam. You get all that plus the easiest parts availability without having to order the parts every time you need any little thing. So many hobby stores stock tons of Traxxas parts. All that is worth a few bucks more. To many, the consensus is Traxxas buyers would rather pay a little more now, than Iot later on.
@@mezzyshredder agreed, Traxxas does have a lot more to offer, and you do get a great quality product. 😉👍🏼💯
@@mezzyshredder….I agree with your comment. I’ve been able to contact Traxxas customer support over the weekend at times. Nice people to deal with and very helpful. 🤘
Where is your front bar and rear wheely bar? My Maxx v2 came with that stock???
I have a Outcast 6s exb and I actually like the Maxx better. It's super smooth
Love the channel, watch all your maxx vids, I've never owned an RC before I just preordered the red maxx and ships in March.
Looking forward bashing! I bought a few upgrades so far like fans, hubs and the link. Keep up the good work brother and happy bashing
Worst performing? I love my Maxx and totally dissagree with your comment. Maxx puts a smile on my face and it's totally fun. Unsubscribed.
try some other cars, I think you'd find them even more fun.
😳😂😳
😂@@RazorRC
Thanks for your honest review, man! I'm waiting for three green one being in stock here in UK but not totally sure as there are so many other options...What alternatives would u recommend for a basher almost as durable out of the box, fast with good availability of parts and maximum the same price?
Interesting! But I would buy it anyway :-)
Hey RC Razor. I've been looking for almost a year for longer rear suspension for my Maxx. Do you have any knowledge on this? Recommendations would be amazing. I definitely agree, this thing slaps hard on jumps V1 (especially with a wide maxx kit on the V1).
Despite the warts, this is still all the truck I could handle or need. Love mine, beat it to death, and it just keeps coming back over and over again for more.
If I didn’t have an MT8 on preorder I’d have bought this immediately!
Been waiting to hear your thoughts with a full review!
Solid review.. I love mine tho and yes the max 8 woke it up.. runs like a 4.5S now lol
Great vids would you recommend v2 max or the armma krayton 4s?
I liked the HPI savage you ran!
That truck is awesome. Flip all the ratings (good and bad) for the Maxx and you basically end up with the Savage X V2. 🙃😃🙃
Ty so very much for doing this video
Old video. But just got one of these, I did put 4s kraton shocks on the rear ( a little longer but not so long that shafts bind ), and it's really a solid car this way. Doesn't slap so bad and handles a lot better
Just tried that man works great I put the outcast rears on the Maxx rear and alot less chassis slap did you put the fronts on also or leave them the same ?
@@bfam8056 left stock on front
Cool man thanks I wonder if a set of kraton rears would work good on the front of the Maxx
OUCH!!! GUESS I SHOULD HAVE WAITED FOR THIS REVIEW BEFORE I BOUGHT MINE 🤣🤣. OH WELL GUESS I BETTER WATCH YOUR TUNING VIDEO ON IT NOW TO MAKE IT BETTER 😉. LOVE YOUR REVIEWS BROTHER THANK YOU 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
How do you like the maxx?
@@bannedfromisrael I LIKE IT. ITS A GOOD TRUCK IN MY OPINION 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Hey chief, you mention running more than 1 rig off a single handset. Can this be done without the Bluetooth module? I've got a few traxxas rigs and using a single handset would save me scraping around for the correct 1. Cheers. I shall proceed to watch the rest of your vid now 😁
Yep it can. Hold your set button while you power on your transmitter and the light will start flashing and then do the same thing with the set button on the receiver while you power your rc on
Traxxas should definitely offer these one e-revo 2.0 n xmax as rollers there systems r ok.
Nailed it mate. 👍
I love my maxx, fast as fuck and its a tank. Traxxas has great service in my own personal experience as well.
Nothing chasis slaps as bad as the stock big rock. Thing slaps dropping from 2 ft off ground.
Yeah, that's a bad one too!
Chassis slap is good tho no? So you're not bottoming out your shocks? That's what killer offroad hobbyz used to always say
@@cwatson42785 It is. Too much slap isn't good either.
@@cwatson42785 Yes but shocks that are properly tuned or paired to the correct RC will absorb the landings. I saw RC Driver's video of him driving and the truck bottom out on the mildest jumps. My Slash 4x4 would have easily absorbed some of the jumps he was doing.
@@Albertotron Yeah I had put some hot racing aluminum shock bodies on my big rock and now the truck is much better but I'm not a big jumper. I usually put heavier weight oil In all my 6s or bigger trucks as well.
You cannot have everything you complain about. If you could then you be paying any where from $1000.00 to $1500.00. Stop the whining.
Dang you're hardcore on the ratings most other people give those flying stars especially for working on it. Lol
Great review bro. 👏 I will wait and see what Arrma release this year.
For the money, I'd expect higher quality internals. Otherwise its a nice truck.
Reviews are always spot on
The v2 has a wheelie bar. Did you buy it used? The steering is fine I think it's the driver 🤔
Ill just keep my v1 maxx i reckon ... thanks for the honest review 👍🏻
makes sense if you already have one.
Great video
Love my maxx only thing I hope they fixed was the esc failing I was one but it's been a great reliable experience for me
In regards to handling ive see people put stronger servo on and 3.8 E-revo tires, which makes it handle really well in the air.
Hey Razor, i was recently considering picking up a Maxx V2, but your review has set some doubt in my mind. What do you believe is the best overall 4S truck that doesn’t need much or anything coming out of the box for an optimal experience?
The Maxx is the only choice right now until Corally and Arrma come out with their trucks.
Why the 4s batteries so pricey?!
I have the v2 and love it
@@RazorRC arrma is coming out with a 4s monster truck??
@@RazorRC since the outcast 4s is out what would you recommend? Thanks find advance, love your vids!
Hey Razor. Looking at getting a Maxx. At first I was sure on the V2 but my local shop doesnt have them, but does have the V1s for over $100 less and they include the Widemaxx kit. Id be mainly using it on the street. Do you think the V1 is the way to go? Thanks
No get the v2 the bigger battery holder is the best addition.
A honest review, thx
Definately planning to get a maxx
As my first rc I love mine it the metal driveshaft and Amazon steering servo and sledgehammer tires and the widemaxx
you got all the cars!
The XMAXX servo is a direct fit!
I buy a widemaxx and I’m disappointed about the autonomy : with a gensace 8500mah : less than 20min : On a very quick place, do you think with official traxxas 6700mah will be better ?) my previous 5000mah official on a standard Maxx during about 30min ?! The difference is big
Hey razor, does the V2 Maxx come with wheelie bar? Or is it an option? Cus the V1 came with wheelie bar stock
My V2 has a wheelie bar. Maybe he got an early production example to review. The weather is to cold to really take it for a good run but I ran in my yard and have to say I like how it handles. I don't send it at skate parks. Ran well on the 7600mah 4S and got 50mph out of the box.
Mine came with a wheelie bar
Thanks, I just realized that I had taken off the bumpers for cleaning before filming and forgot to put them back on. Yes, wheelie bar included, something seemed off...! 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤦🏾♂️
I watched your reviews on the maxx and sledge and was going to buy one or the other but now I don’t know. What would you recommend
Get the Rival MT1O and crawler TRX-4 or SCX10 for the price of 1 Maxx or Sledge.
Can have fun in bashing (Rival MT1O has great handling with racing pedigree from Team Associated) and fun in slow crawl and trailing with TRX-4.
Good vidéo 🦇
thank you
Whats the best RTR truggy and MT do you recommend
Great review! I would rather go with an Arrma Outcast 4s (after they update it). The Maxx just doesn’t seem good for the money.
Hopefully the next Arrma 4S is good!
Its a awesome truck but you right when comes to value ,
Razor did you hear new arrma coming ?
@@RazorRC I heard they are going to update the 4s line in Spring or Summer, but with the way that shipping has been lately, I think it might be delayed.
Corally 4s Sketer comes out in about a week's time as well
@RC Razor. Can't say I'm not disappointed with the jumping performance in your review. I was hoping for better.
But I have a couple questions. Isn't it being all plastic a benefit? I've watched another content creator say the plastic bends and bounces back whereas the Kraton's metal chassis bends and stays there. Also, should it be cheaper than a monster truck with more metal parts? Wouldn't picking the right plastic compound take a little R&D to get right? I also think the fit and finish of the molding is very nice. What are your thoughts
Great question and very good points! Yes, properly designed plastic is more durable than metal, which is why I think the Maxx is so crazy durable. As for R&D costs, you’re absolutely right - initial costs for plastic parts is much higher than metal. But I have no way of knowing when companies have recouped their molding costs, so I just ignore that part. I’m sure that’s why the Maxx was so expensive initially and why they were able to keep the price about the same for the V2.
The Maxx is made to be durable and easy to work on. It’s not made to race or be a buggy
It's durable, but it's not easy to work on! Getting to the rear or center diff is 3-4x more work than any other car.
@@RazorRC yeah but that is a small cost to pay for everything to be able to be removed my 3 screws
5:32 there's not supposed to be a shim on the ring gear side. On the front center or rear diff.
Great review of a good product. I just think for that price Traxxas should have also made it 6s capable.
or dropped the price $50 at least
although it is 6s capable, how would you compare the Kaiju to the Maxx? very similar chassis design.
faster, less durable, better handling.
I agree about the maxx bottoming out really bad even after some shock tunning with the fluid and springs. Not gonna lie it made some improvements but still bottoms out. Is it possible for installing a longer shock for the rear from another rc or somethinglike that?
Longer shocks don't really fit because there's not enough space under the shock tower to fully compress
It's DESIGNED to bottom out. Why do people keen on thinking it's a bad thing? The chassis is a lot more durable than shock shafts or springs retainers...
@@nvl2691 I agree on the chassy design. Just courious if anyone has tried other ways to help with softening it more but not eliminating it.
@@nvl2691 the chassis should touch the ground, but it shouldn't sound like someone's smashing it with a 2x4 every time you jump it over 2 feet.
@@RazorRC Absolutely agree with that. My 1/16 E-Revo bottomed out insanely quickly.
My issue is with the whole eliminating chassis slap idea. You should try and reduce it, but not eliminate it.
I really want to have one but i live in a country where there’s no one sell big names rc product here, i have to buy it all the way from us. Just curious what’s the common problem with the traxxas maxx ? Or what parts that easily broke ?
not much, steering knuckles/rear hubs I would get, maybe shock shafts, some people break bulkheads, but I never broke mine.
HEY BROTHER SO YOURS DID NOT COME WITH A WHEELIE BAR ?? CUZ MINE DID 🤔🤔
nah, I screwed up, I forgot to put the bumpers back on when I cleaned it! It comes with a wheelie bar (and bumpers, ha!). 🤣
@@RazorRC I caught that too, knew it was just a blooper in explaining your review 😁. Appreciate your honesty like always even though I did buy this truck.
Did I miss the average like you normally do? 🤔 Kinda rough review huh 🤣 I haven't driven mine yet but I feel like I know what I am getting into and the longer wider stance I think is going to make the truck mich more enjoyable for most people 👍
Yeah, I think most people will be fine with it, just depends on what you do with the truck and what you're looking for. I didn't do an overall score on this one, I sometimes do, sometimes don't, hopefully people can look at the individual scores and get a good idea of the pros/cons. Sometimes it's hard to give it an overall rating when the scores are all over the place.
I wish I waited 2months to buy my Maxx to get v2 but didn't know was coming out would of saved money and get bigger battery only got widemaxx kit and leds on
Do the sledgehammers work on a t max 2.5 cuz I already ordered some
I love my maxx, but I agree, it jumps horribly. I grab mine and just beat it to death. I think that's why I like it so much. What can be done to make it jump better?
I'll put out a video sometime that will help but won't fix it.
@@RazorRC That would be great. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for the videos.
I gotta get one of these. an I have 4 stampede 4wd I'd like to make into Hoss
What alternative tire would you recommend for the Maxx v2?
E Revo 2.0 tires
For longer rear shocks, what are the alternatives?
haven't found one. there's not much room under the shock tower to fit longer shocks.
I want a monster truck but I’m torn between this, the tekno MT410 and a Kaiju.
I'm 1000% sure there's a video out there...
Seems like you are expecting a monster truck to drive like a Cadillac. I've never seen anyone complain about the Maxx. I absolutely love every bit of mine to each their own I guess.
If you think a Cadillac drives well, then I'm not surprised you don't understand the video.
@@RazorRC that is literally what Cadillac is known for? 😂 Stick to what you know very lil about 😄
So I can't program the ESC with a program card? R how do I do that?
Found a hobby shop in New York that has all parts but body.
Mine has wheelie bars
mine does too, I messed up in the video
I changed the servo on mine now it turns on a dime
would that missing shim make a difference in the way it drives?
Not in the way it drives, but the gear mesh won't be as tight, so might strip the gears. I noticed my truck was making some weird drivetrain noises the second time out.
@@RazorRC ok, thanks for the input! I'm new to this hobby so I'm a bit of a noob.
This or arrma big rock?
The only basher you will ever need.
You can't program the ESC!!!!!????
Only sport/race/training mode and calibration.
@@RazorRC yeah just like my twenty-year-old Rustler!
Yep, that’s Traxxas for you… buy a Hobbywing Max 8 and your problems will be solved!
You do know it’s a bash truck right
I was not aware of that.
@@RazorRC 🤣🤣🤣
Triggered😂
I think that sketer is gonna blow this truck away. It looks like a tank. There is an unboxing video from China on here and it looks great. It has a t2t brace and also the upgraded steering blocks and is gonna be around 430$ and have alot better electronics. Gotta imagine you'll be grabbing one Razor? I know I am lol
About to comment should've known it was you haha , going check out now. Idk if can compare to the skeeter all these plastic RC's kaju mt 10 xxmaxx brcc just for fun bashing never going compare to race rc inspired bashers the people saying opposite can't drive like bashers who preferre the ladder
Razor sums up traxxaz well annoying 🙄
@@paulclancy2404 lol my tc bro Paul you know it! Yeah it looks really good for sure Paul! Definitely check it out. A Chinese guy did an unboxing of it and jaytee did a video on it recently. It looks really top notch. Wish they would release it already! And if it's only 430$ like it's rumored it's gonna be a hit. It also has their new t2t brace already on it too!
Sketer coming out on the 15th!
@@RazorRC What!! When did you hear that! Don't leave me hanging lol. I've been waiting for 3 months for info on that truck lol
i bought one and i havent even drove it lol im really in to these 24 scales right now i know that thing will make your whole room smell like grea oil lol
Gpm gold springs and 80 weight landing problems solved realy not that bad of an issue realy
Yep, hit the nail on the head. Truck has its place but its not for those that appreciate good driving characteristics. It is durable but at a cost of drivability. Im honestly probably going to sell mine after I’m done with reviewing it…
Thanks, I think it's possible to get to handle halfway decently, but only with a fair amount of work and still only HALFWAY decently. ☹️
The chassis is supposed to bottom out on jump landings if there set up right. It puts less breakage on parts. Think about it, this is how there designed. LMFAO
its always blown my mind that traxxas can survive preying on new rc enthusiast they do their best to give you the least while charging as much as possible instead of building race kits and investing into the hobby traxxas plasters their brand all over any event were people are not as familiar with rc
They really removed the wheelie bar?
no, I'm an idiot and forgot I took off the bumpers/wheelie bar
πολυ δυνατο μοντελο κανω εγγραφη
Good car but MT410 aslolutely better ;)
I like your reviews a lot! I wanted a Maxx so much, but I guess I will go for a Granite or a Big Rock V3. I will check your reviews about those as well🙂I was thinking about the Corally Sketer, but the buying the parts is a big issue. Specially here in Europe. Subscribed! 😉
I wanted the solar flare
Definitely better than this clown vomit color I bought.
@@RazorRC thats one way to name this color lol ive been scouring jenny’s rc waiting for the solar flare body to be available for a decent price! It should have been a main release body not a limited time only until the next couple of months its their best color combo to date I’m sure it cost them the same amount to make whatever color i don’t get Traxxas sometimes but until then ill watch you hoon you vomit clown v2 around
This guy doesn't like these obviously lol. And my first vid ever seeing of his. Lol. Arrma probably gets 1 star 😄
Buy Arrma Kraton 4s instead.
I agree that’s a horrible driving truck I’ve owned and sold three now lol I just can’t get past it’s landing skills it absolutely the worst lol
Battery pack space is utterly terrible. Designed for Traxxas batteries only. Traxxas is like apple when it comes to their products, complete scumbags.
I Had to resolder ESC to ec5 connectors and buy batter holder adapter to fit my gens ace 4s lipo upon buying this rig. Love the product but hate the forcefulness on using their shit quality batteries and accessories.
Solid video, thanks for it.
This fellow is always disappointed with this car and yet oddly can’t stop talking about it or using it for years. It seems to be the price that bugs him because its 20-25% higher, and because it doesn't handle as well as it could. It clearly doesn’t measure up to competition class cars in it’s handling but it's not supposed to at all. It's supposed to be durable and fun and a little crazy and it excels at that. Broken cars are mostly not fun. Traxxas' individual parts on this model might not all be the highest quality for the price point individually but the durable design adds real value regardless of the production cost. What's wrong with that? Consider the other value ads too: Traxxas offers instant anonymous customer service all day, maintains a distribution network at physical stores, and has a vast inventory ready for same day processing through multichannel fulfillment for probably tens of thousands of skus. That takes a bigger team of expensive skilled people to maintain inventory like that. Nobody likes to think about paying for marketing but Traxxas probably spends more there too. So is that worth an extra 20%-25% compared to the competition? Maybe not for the avid enthusiast or competitor who doesn’t need that stuff, but for anyone who just wants to do some spontaneous fast bashing, and get their car up and running again quickly when it breaks? I think it's a fair deal.
You bring up some good points, and I'm pretty sure I said the same thing in the video. It has great support, I said that. It has top of class durability, I said that. I acknowledged the superior manufacturing in Taiwan. If anything, the only thing we seem to disagree on is the Value, and I don't think any objective person could say this truck has an average or above average value at $570. They just can't. I gave them credit (+1 star from the V1) for keeping the price about the same, but there's no doubt in my mind that Traxxas has a higher profit margin on their cars than anyone else. That's clear as day to anyone who buys other brands. If you like paying extra for all the lawyers, marketing, funny car racing, etc. that Traxxas spends millions on great, but it does absolutely nothing for the consumer. It only helps Traxxas profit even more than they already do.
Just get a Xmaxx...be done with it...if ya want bigger 😂
that's almost twice the price!
Get out of here razor RC this car is a piece of s*** and you know damn well it's junk you want a real car you go buy the skeeter
I think its BS traxxas should give every single person who bought the wide kit and the other upgrades for the v1 there hard earned money back i love my v1 maxx its my go to basher but this new maxx is a slap in the face to the v1 owners i will never buy another traxxas ever cause of this BS
well, every manufacturer does the same thing, so...???
😳😂😳
