Still in love with mine after 2 years. It's completely stock and i rarely break anything.🤘🔥
My ESC and servo stopped working w/in 8 runs
Totally agree with you, it’s a fantastic truck. Yes, Traxxas are tight when it comes fitting a decent servo, metal gears and esc but once you’ve done this, there’s no looking back.
well...besides the electronics that suck super....it is a great truck
I sadly just destroyed a gear inside of my centre diff, cause i didnt know i have to shim it after some rides. Got mine for 6 months now.
@@davidives7204So what would you change on the Truck in regards to electronics? I keep hearing how they Suck, and I recently picked one up. Thanks
Funny that at 40 years old this was my first RC car! Been hooked ever since to all aspects of the hobby! The XMAXX "Bruce Banner" started it all!!! What a first RC!!!! 💯
Mate, you are the most peace-of-mind rc presenter ever..PERIOD.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Agreed Again! This channel is in my top three. The presenter is passionate and thorough and tests the expensive models too. Certainly, it’s good to show the less expensive cars and trucks etc but I like variety, quality, reliability and styling which some of these other brands fail so miserably.
Thanks guys!

No matter how many types of monster truck RC cars are sold, the best monster truck RC car seems to be the X-Maxx.
This is a great video.👍👍👍
X-MAXX is a great car☝🏻. Just a little thing. X-maxx is for people and countries where there is a lot of space. I'm happy to find a place for a new 1/10 car or boat. I had the same problem yesterday. Well, I can't imagine where I would place such a giant in a city in the middle of Europe, and especially where to ride with it. There are people everywhere. It's easier for you. But thumbs up for the 8s X-maxx👍🏻👍🏻
That’s a mistake a lot of people make.. they don’t realise just how powerful it is, and to utilise it to its full potential, you need alot of space that’s readily available… if you don’t have this then I would probably recommend either the Maxx or the hoss
I love mine….bought it as an early 8s in 2017. Been beating it ever since…..could use a new body and did break stuff along the way….but still a pile of smiles every time I take it out
As always a great video definitely showcasing the XMAXX durability and ability to throw some smiles for however many miles 👍💯😜
Guy love your videos brother. I know you have a love hate relationship with your xmaxx , we all do, but could you imagine an xmaxx that's 16 percent larger, I'd have to have one , so would all my buddies that own an xmaxx.
Awesome. Glad you finally reviewed the X-Maxx. I do love my X-Maxx, especially with an uprated servo and servo saver.
David! Thanks for the tip. We'll be making those upgrades too soon.
-Brett
Do you have a recommended servo saver?
@@AMain_HobbiesUpgrades I did to mine...arrma spextrum radio( hate traxxas radios)😋tbone racing front bumper, traxxas HD steering arms, hot racing adjustable servo arm, max6 esc, 13mm hex extension with arrma copperhead tires and RC Monster wheel nut adapters, hot racing motor mounts, rpm oversized hub carriers with bigger bearings, traxxas servo metal gear set in stock servo, eBay 3d printed center shaft support block....as far as the servo saver would be vitavon or hot racing or the traxxas HD spring but you better have the metal gear servo...plastic gears will strip.....on stock gears still...maybe hot racing or gpm gears next....ehhhh, its a project😅
I just brought myself the Xmaxx. Amazing machine! I had the privilege of driving the XRT but it’s definitely not me. My biggest issue with the XRT was chassis slap. The Xmaxx just feels so much nicer personally. I look forward to seeing your XRT vs Xmaxx thoughts.
Thanks mate 😊
I just got mine few days ago! Love it!
Great video man! very fun & thorough.
The POWER is NUTSO!!!!!! Such raw power you can just see it straight beast
that truck is a beast
thanks a lot for the video, great as always
"The post bent a little"......haha...man I just love these running review videos. Keep them coming man!
Great review! Thank you
Love how it keeps one paw up around turns. 😂
Yeah! The tires barely ballooned too which was impressive.
-Brett
Crazy I just picked up a used xmaxx last week and doing a few things to it before I run it, has a max5 esx and 800kv motor, thing is seriously massive
Great video, i also love my xmaxx. Its a little bit upgraded with some m2c parts + a hobbywing max 5 combo with a 800kv motor. Gearing wise im using the 1.5 mod from vitavon 30/30. Man that thing was a beast stock but now its just a monster. Drives over 60mph and do double standing backflips all day long. I just love it. The only thing im going to upgrade if i have a little bit more time again is the radio to an dumborc. The stock traxxas radio have such an big delay after like 40-60 meters its just annoying.
That flip .... they had me at the flip! 😁
Love my Xmaxx! Was my first RC I bought that started the addiction 😅
Way to much fun!!!I need one of those!
It's such a good truck,love mine.
I agree we love our Xmaxx.....XRT is awesome also.....just like the Maxx all 3 are awesome!! 💯
You Nailed the XMaxx Out of the Box 😂 I never broke something on my XMaxx it's my sons favorite RC Car. The only thing I changed on XMaxx are Two servos. They are so bad...
Finally, a X maxx 8S in this amazing channel keep on Rollin buddy 😮😮
I have a v1 xmaxx converted to 8s highly modified still kicking ass
How could nobody love the X-Maxx it’s a awesome RC truck
I only love rc's that look like REAL legal driving vehicles....not interested at all✌️😎.
@@sebikelifeusvetparatrooper
Oh watch out big grown boy here, haha they are all TOYS, even a 8S kraton
I like it, but it's just too damn big and powerful. LOL I'm afraid I'll hit someone with it and harm them
@@sebikelifeusvetparatrooper might as well just stick to real vehicles
@@DashzRight LOL🤙😎.
When i saw this video just uploaded, was expecting a new XMAXX for 2023😂 had to go to my basement to compare my year old XMaxx 8s.. was happy to see its the same model🤦🏻♂️🤣
Just ordered one great video
Love seeing you give it the besns.
Thanks! We tried
-=Brett
One thing I always found funny about 5th scale is, how people ask me "Where are you gonna run that huge thing?!".
Like: where am I NOT gonna run it? Even an 8th scale struggles with TONS of basher spots, because of huges rocks, mile high grass, roots, etc. A 5th scale has a much easier time running on most spots.
People would died if they made this truck when I was a kid. It would have also definitely gone through the garage door on at least 1 occasion.
You're never too old!
Looks so fresh ahh one day 🤞🙏🏾
Awesome video I love Xmaxxes best rc truck in the world by a long shot there incredible.
I have a 8s Xmaxx but only run it at 6s as the batteries were waaay cheaper and I was able to get more of them, it still does 30mph on my GPS a does wheelies no problem and have never had a tire come unglued and this is my 3rd summer with it. I got my first hobby grade RC car when I was 8 ( Tamiya Fox ) and now at 44 this is my favorite RC vehicle of all time so far, still has nothing on my Heli's though....but would not get rid of it for anything else.
One of Craziest RC I ever seen ! I love it $1000 not cheap.
Great video. I love my xmaxx, but definitely has its cork's, as all other rc's do. But what I would love to see Traxxas build is an xmaxx that's 16 percent larger, but as a roller no electronics, come on Traxxas just do it!!
id rather 14%.
I have this truck. Only thing I replaced on it is stronger steering servo, servo saver and upgraded front and rear wheel hub bearings.
every single time is see this car i lose perspective on just how big it is when its driving without a human to measure against. great video. goat basher.
Bummer that the Rock n Roll body doesn't have the skids on the roof.
Agreed, disappointed to see those not included with the truck. The roll bar under the body has the holes for it, but not the body.
-Brett
Best rc truck by far! Love mine! Sold maxx v2, rustler, tamyas and crawlers and have only this beast, its enough.
Nice driving 👍
i snapped a bellcrank in the time i've been beating mine its been jb welded for about 7 months!
I really love my X-Maxx. It's upgraded with huge electronics, so I can do double backflips no problem! 53 mph off road and it's very durable. Even upgraded, it is a durable beast with some minor upgrades so that it can take the extra power. I always do something like what you did :hit something in the middle of a field. I put a longer bolt with a nut on the other side of that bolt on that shock tower. I got tired of the bolt coming loose. Hehe. I hate concerte landings at skstepsrks. They really damage your RC too much!
Hey. What are a couple Key electronic upgrades I can do to mine? It's bone stock. I keep hearing how the electronics kinda suck
@@michaelschwab9563 keep it stock just upgrade the ESC
@@michaelschwab9563Just for 20/50 gearing and just upgrade IF your ESC goes bad. I just like insane things like double backflips off small jumps. But it's not necessary. I have a video of my upgraded Xmaxx Vs a stock Xmaxx with 20/50 gearing. I'll look for it. Do you have an Xmaxx already?
@@benjaminfranklin9164Good advice. And upgrade the ESC only if it goes bad 👍
9:53 I dont think you couldve hit that post more dead center if you tried 😆🤣 Traxxas tough baby 😁
I love mine, and I still want to do the castle belt drive upgrade one day.
Totally over engineered and unnecessary
That post hit 😂
Open field...and you hit the pole🤦♂️......great video....makes me want to get one......
Had mine for 6 years,
2nd speed controller
2nd servo (old 1 died so got the metal gear version)
replaced fan due to vibrations from missing fan blade that broke off at some point
added GPS receiver
added light kit
added bicycle vanity plate
took the guts out of the bluetooth 4 channel controller placed in older style controller housing because it supports docking base for mobile devices for traxxas link app and (receiver) rechargeable battery pack that can be used in the old style controller
1 day I was at a park that has a pond, I took my eyes off it for 10 seconds, I was like where did my truck go, I see the water rippling in the pond, I said, o no, please don't tell me what I think happened, walked to the edge of the pond and their it was, upside down in the pond, it rolled back into the pond, wish these had a parking brake hold (maybe ill create 1 using a micro servo) lol, I reached into the pond, grabbed it out, it was fine, drove like normal, hit it with a hair dryer when I got back home just to make sure
Dayyyyyuuuuuummm
@@LawsonHanson200 o I added more info, check out my park pond story lol
Still love all of my Xmaxx's🔥🔥🔥
love my xmaxx
I just bought a suped-up second-hand Xmaxx for $1200, as expensive as a new one but probably has close to a grand in upgrades. I can't wait! Been buying crawlers for the last 2 years...This is no crawler!
Just ordered this truck its my first rc since I was a kid wanted to go big
It's been 7 years already? Damn time flys
Can you please review the Traxxas XO-1 version 2. Thanks
Love mine!!!!
This is actually some really light bashing compared to what the X-maxx can really handle.
i would love to see a video review on the super baja rey 2.0 (SBR 2.0)
I'd smash that old song with the X-Maxx if I could.
-Brett
Still remember my old nitro tmax
Pole:
Jesus Christ!!
XMAXX:
I think I ran into something?
These things are killing my bank account. Bought one new for Christmas, 3months later my buddy broke the front bulk head. So I made him feel better by getting the Xmaxx ultimate with plans to fix the xmaxx and put it head to head
Ya its preaty decent besides the tires they rip to easy and the stock steering servo. Watch out for that front motor bearing aswell.
love trucks!!!!!!
1:47
SCX24: Okay pull forward.
Xmax: *bumps throttle
SCX24: GOD DAMMIIIIITTT!!!!!!!!!
I want one!
A precision scalpel it isn't. After 4.5 years with a Max 6 powered X-Maxx it's definitely my favourite RC. has the V3 parts (Bigger bearings in the front and rear hubs) It just doesn't care what I throw at it. I don't abuse it with reckless abandon but It's flown further and taken more hits than anything else I've bashed. Absolutely love it.
XRT is the next on my purchase list. I love the size and power of these trucks.
X-Maxx vs. XRT! 😮
I wish axial would make a durable upgraded Yeti XL taking notes from the Xmaxx. We need competition, plus just imagine 😝
just sold mine, had to many RC and picked up and XRT on launch.
Just saw the video now my 7 year old son wants it ASAP
I wouldn't mind the motor in the truck for some of my builds.
I wouldn't,I woodn,I wooden and you shoooooding🤣🤣🤣
Lit ⚡
But for "huge rocks it cares a little bit"😂😂😂
Want it, need it, gimmie it!
I prefer the xmaxx over the XRT… I remember when they first came out, even the 6s one was a beast
Early!
Why haven't you guys reviewed the Xmaxx earlier though?
It's awesome man love it 🇬🇧d things a animal got 2
I love mine, easily the best RC I've ever owned.
Same, its just excellent
XMAXX is the king of bashing 🔥
Nice car
We have 2 xmaxx's....getya some😊
The xmaxx is my favourite rc car of all time, got 2 stampedes, a 3s typhon and 3s granite, an outcast 8s, kyosho inferno neo and nothing beats the xmaxx!
Not even the kraton 8s? Looks more stable and reliable in terms of driveline and simplicity, idk I only have the xmaxx
@@DashzRightI have a Kraton 6s and wondering if should trade for a Xmaxx?
@@tmar352 they are very different man, the xmaxx is my favourite but I only have a notorious 6s to compare and I also like what the notorious does… in terms of design traxxas cars feel more up to date and more r&d put into them compared to arrma, but again, do you like truggies or big monster trucks?
Decisamente gran bel video ,ottima recensione e come sempre viene voglia di acquistare un mostro simile!
Ma praticamente è fatto al 90% di plastica...credi che valga un prezzo finale di 1200 euro?
Over 30 RC cars and my Xmaxx has been a BEAST for years with almost nothing being broken, and nothing at all i would consider the truck at fault for.
They are truly amazing! Leave it 95% stock.
Out of the box I straight away lined the inside of the body with gorilla tape, upgraded the ESC, steering servo, tyres and added drive shaft cup retaining rings… aswell as going over all the fluids and checking everything was adequately greased etc while I was at it… might seem like a bit, but it only took me about a day to do and a year later *touch wood*…I have not had to touch a thing on it, I charge the batteries, bash it all day long, then clean it and shelf it…. That’s it!
Traxxas has always made cool stuff, and continue to push the boundaries of R/C trucks and innovation. Other manufactures just don't GET it. I used to sell First version T-maxx's like hot cakes when I worked in a hobby shop as a kid. I only wish they would sell pro kits you could build yourself.
I love mine. I had an xrt also and sold it. Xmaxx is more fun to me.
That’s the best color in my opinion.
Are you running it on the optional gearing? I noticed its doing wheelies easily, mine doesnt do them very easily
Stock gearing, right out of the box. We didn't change anything the entire time. Our truck didn't wheelie in slick areas either but in higher traction conditions, no problem; your truck should too. You're on 8S? Good tires? No suspension binding? If the suspension is bound up somewhere, the truck weight might not be able to shift around properly which plays a big role!
-Brett
Im needing help on which one to get i have the sledge and rustler 4x4 vxl brushless. But im looking at the Xmax or maybe the max
My vote is the Maxx. It's the best of power, size, durability and performance.
-Brett
The big aspect carries over to price too. Over the top. The batteries are more then most people's RC budget.
I just bought a RB10 Buggy and used the remote and receiver on my Losi 22sct brushed but I can’t get any action from the trigger? Seems like I’m only getting power from the steering wheel. Please help me. Thanks in advance
You may need to calibrate the 22SCT ESC to the new transmitter. It's pretty simple to do, but you'll need to check out the ESC instructions for how to do it.
-Brett
i usually land 6-8 foot high jumps. havent broken anything yet, but i got spares for when it happens. this is my favorite truck
sorry but i don't believe , you maybe use it one battery, that's impossible if you got the car more than 4 days running everyday. let me know something in the next round you will believe me lol
@@nunosantos2015have been using the xmaxx for the last 2 years almost every weekend and had 0 issues other than stripped servo and 2 bearings needing replacements
@@DashzRight that can't be possible man, i had mine 1 years and half and every run something broke maybe i'm a bad pilot or you are the luckiest guy in the world lol but i don't in a single word you saying 😂
I bash it decently on the weekends for about a year, had to replace all 4 tires and a broken arm and knuckle. Other then that runs great
I still can't decide what wheels n tires to buy on mine. The foam keeps disintegrating in stock tires.
So many X's that it has to be mean machine :DDD
The best rc truck
any lipos to recommend for it?
nice ❤
Should've just called this thing the "Monster Bash"
That Thing Is HELLACIOUS!! Man I have a HYPER GO 1/16.......... I WANT IT 😀👊👍✌️🦅🇺🇸🦼
