Great video Chris! Truck came out amazing. Love how all the blue matches up nicely. Some serious durability💪💪 It was your video a few years back that got me to use the Sea Foam. Been using it ever since👍👍
Hey NEAL thanks a lot bro I appreciate it. Do you know blue is my favorite color on RC’s. That’s extremely cool to hear man I’m sure you’re loving the seafoam! We will see how durable these parts are!
Dam Chris! That's alot of upgrades 😱 Glad to see you out driving again 👍
It sure is! Got Some more to show in my new video! Good to be out there driving again!
Loving the new upgrades Chris! The blue RPM stuff really set it off! Great video as always brother!
Thanks a lot Keith I appreciate it my friend. We will see how durable it is! Take care bro
I watched the video on that truck when you first made it and you did the rims but it is great to see that reborn. 🙏🏼✌🏼
That’s awesome to hear bro. You’ve been watching for a while. It was good to give the X maxx some TLC
Chris that looks so good. Awesome video as always brother. Love it.
Thanks a lot Scott I appreciate it! Take care my friend
I usually don't like blue A arms on rc"s but I must admit, that xmaxx pulls it off really well! Glad to see your back making vids again bro 🙂👊
Yes I love the color blue on all my RC’s! Thanks a lot for the support and I appreciate you watching
I just did mine today , both bits . So I’ve enjoyed this vid especially the cool song playing in background.
That’s great to hear bro! I’m glad that we could upgrade our Xmaxx’s together! Thanks for the feedback and most importantly thanks for watching! 😊🤘
Beautiful...!!! I saw the integy aluminum uprage and planned on getting it and this vid jus answered a lot of questions. Mostly about fitments. Great vid Bro...!!
Hey what’s up? Glad it was helpful! Now go MAKE IT HAPPEN! 😃✌️
Nice but I preferred to upgrade the ESC and motor and radio and a couple of more bits than adding too much aluminum. Two of my X-Maxx trucks have the max 5 combo with the 1100kv motor and 25/35 gearing. They are a BEAST.
Awesome vid bro truck looks insane!!
🤘🏼🤘🏼
Yeah toecutter! 🤘
Just got an xmaxx for me and a maxx for my son here on the farm. So much fun
That is an awesome Father and Son combo! They are both amazing vehicles and I’m sure your having a ton of fun out there! Thanks for watching! 😊👍
Awesome video amazing upgrades for the Xmaxx great job thumbs up 👍👊🤟
Thanks a lot bro I’m glad you enjoyed the video and it was good to give the X max some TLC
Your very lucky when I got mine in just 2 days I broke a shock piston an arm and a steering knuckle ! in the beginning the truck was off the road more than on the road lol nowadays I just drive it real careful but still love it,,,update edit ,I've also ripped 8 tyres in half and on my second esc whish is also now broken after I did an update on it as it never worked again just 3 red flashing lights and a solid green ,I'm pretty much fed up with it now as every single time I've driven it it's needed repair
That truck looks sick. I like it. I have one getting delivered tomorrow 😎
Thanks bro! Congratulations!
Integy is all good, love the upgrades bro!
Yes my friend I totally agree! Thanks for your feedback! 😊✌️
Just got my xmaxx love it !!!
Awesome to hear bro! Make It Happen! 😊✌️
Great pick up !
Thanks a lot Gio.!
Great video Chris
Thanks a lot Eric glad you enjoyed
Great video like the upgrades 👍👍
Thanks a lot bro glad you enjoyed!
I love the way all the blue really sets it off , obviously the bits of blue you had on it before doing the rest of Xmaxx was nice , but now it really pops !! I really do like them shock covers also and if your able to can you send me a link where I can get a set !! Awesome vid as it was really informative !! Keep up the Great Work and Vids !! 👍✌️
Thanks bro! I’m liking it too. Seems the shock covers for the XMAXX aren’t available on their website. Sorry
Very informative video and really nice looking truck. I’ve got RPM arms and the hinge bolts on my xmaxx they work great 👍
Can’t wait to see you out there bashing your truck and giving feed back on what you think.🤔
Stay safe everyone.
Thanks man I’m glad you enjoyed the video I try to be as informative as possible. I guess that’s the only thing that’s left. Go out there and test them out.
I have to hide while I watch this. If my XMaxx sees me it’ll get jealous.
😂LMAO! Thanks for watching!
Mine just says that's going to cost you more upgrades now
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looks nice with that blue bro
Thanks a lot man blues my favorite color on RC’s!
Do u have a video how to install sway bars? That truck is great!!!
Looks awesome mate proper job is what we say here I make the centre brace and carbon battery trays for the xmax nice upgrades ☄️👊🏼
Thanks a lot bro I appreciate it. I would like to see your brace that you make for the truck! Cheers
EVERYDAY RC I will do a video and send it to mate 👌🏻
Looks great man so real looking❤
Thanks a lot! I’m happy with it! 😊✌️
Looks great
Thank you! 😊👍
oh man, I want to bling my losi out with purple upgrades. all my stuff is got some purple on it. to find or color some metal upgrades would just make my car complete.
Yea man color coordination is a cool thing to do on RC’s. Purple is hard to fine for Losi.
What brand are the 5mm shock shafts? Also do you notice the rear sway bar? I’m interested in that mod but there isn’t any info on it.
First off... I’m subscribing just because it wasn’t requested. The video, you made it so fun to watch I’m actually looking to buy one of these monsters. Great stuff! Is there a way to make it faster? How? What do I need? Where to go for parts to achieve this? And keep in mind I have no experience on the subject.Everyone comment please! 💯
Hey what’s up man?! Sorry for the late reply. I appreciate it thank you for subscribing. Glad you enjoyed the video. To make it faster there are gear options that come with the truck and you change the position of the motor to accommodate the different gearing and that will give it higher top speeds.
Bonjour, ou sinon vous changer le moteur et le variateur pour plus de puissance.
Nice. Job looks good
Thanks bro!
have a question do you have to put the control at the top of the washing machine for the rpm pins because I put them all over but I don't know exactly how to approach the top from the front when I build in the bolt, then she comes out honored you have to get there washing machine between stitches but don't find one on google
Baddest xmaxx on TH-cam 🍻 🔥
Hey! Thanks a lot bro! ✌️😊👍💪🤘
Awesome upgrades.wt did they cost u all together? Including tires nd rims
Hey what’s up?! Sorry for the late reply but they cost a lot of money. Have an added all of it up but definitely in the hundreds
How did the front sway bar work out? I just purchased an X-MAXX. I would love to see an up close installation of the sway bar addition.
It works well surprisingly. I haven’t had any issues
Where did you get the jack stand from that is so cool looking
They are RC4WD Jack stands and yes they are very cool! th-cam.com/video/LtfzDzcLVrw/w-d-xo.html
Yeah the prolines are def too heavy. Other than that i love this build! Cant wait to get one for Christmas. Amazing how you only broke that part now
Thanks for the info! Have fun with it! 👍
RPM arms for the xmaxx are not good they snap easily, stock arms are way better. Also Traxxas has just come out with new biefier arms for the xmaxx on their site.
Apparently that’s what everyone’s been telling me. At the time of this video I just saw that traxxas released their HD a- arms in multiple colors. Oh well what are you going to do. I’ll go out and testes out if they don’t work well I’ll buy the Traxxas ones. Thanks for watching and for your input
Thanks , I’d didn’t know Traxxas did up rated arms. 👍
Was wondering when someone was going to say something about the rpm arms. Never see integy on builds.
Hey @EVERYDAY RC, is there a link for the shock covers? I like how they Velcro and match the Xmaxx. Trying to build a list for an upcoming vehicle to the collection 👍
Hey what’s up bro I just did a search and apparently they are unavailable on their website maybe you can find them somewhere else sorry
EVERYDAY RC its all good, that’s for the reply! 👍
It’s ready for battle
It sure is we’ll see how well it works thanks for watching bro
Hi. What was the silver paint you used on the body? Thsnks
Looks sick! What are you using to clean the truck?
You answer it hahah spoke too soon! Moo clean! Looks good!
I like to use cowRC products but mainly simple green and spray down after with a good silicone spray.
Hey Chris Love The Beauty from work you're doing you didn't show the center skid plate what are you using Entergy I want to know so this way I don't have to waste my money on garbage it looked on eBay the integy skid plate on eBay does not have holes in it I was wondering how that setup works I was going with the stainless steel but I'm not sure yet I'm afraid to waste the money money is tight right now be safe and everybody have fun that's what it's about like Chris says you're not breaking it you're not having fun
Thanks a lot bro I appreciate it. I did the Integy Center skid plate on my E Revo but I have not done anything to the underside of this truck everything is stock skid plates. I would say if you’re going to bash it don’t do aluminum skid plates. Thanks for watching bro
Always brother I like your videos cuz you tell the truth like it is not edited and lying about stuff that is not so I will keep watching your videos forever until you stop having the channel you're like one of my favorites thanks a lot brother keep doing a good job
Hey Chris I needed to ask you I was looking on TH-cam and I bumped into a guy from another country that has your same name every day RC I have to second look at it cuz I thought it was you but when I heard him talking with his British accent I kind of freaked out do you know that there's somebody else out there with the same name you have every day RC
Great video nice content 👍
Thank you 👍
I bought the same integrated product but i could get the stock bearings to fit they were way to big. What did you use?
I’m not sure about the issue you were having because all the bearings fit into the axle carriers no problem at all. Maybe contact the manufacturer and see if there was a mistake in the production process.
Hey Chris. Nice rig, I wanted to get a set of those Integy parts. May I get the part #s also what grade alloy does those aluminum parts come in? 7072
Hey what’s up? Here are the part #’s
1.Integy Aluminum Caster Blocks Blue : Traxxas X-Maxx 4x4 C26840BLUE
2. Integy Aluminum Steering Knuckles: Traxxas X-Maxx 4X4 C26838BLUE 3. Integy Aluminum Rear Hub Carriers: Traxxas X-Maxx 4X4 C26839BLUE
Hey Chris, like the video,where can I get a set of those ramps your using?
Hey what’s up man sorry for the late reply. Those ramps are made by a company called kryptonics they are 8+ years old and they only cost me $40 for the set at a sporting good store
EVERYDAY RC Okay,thanks...
I want to know how have you broke anything. Everytime i take mine out it breaks in 10 mins lol i wish i had your luck. I think im switching back to tekno because of how much for dependable it is for me or sworkz but good luck finding parts for it.
Yes I have heard mixed things about that. Some people say there’s break easy some people say that they have problems with the driveline but I have not had any of these issues. The TEKNO Are awesome vehicles but many parts are becoming hard to find nowadays but hopefully when everything is lifted the companies will go back to manufacturing and disturbing parts! 👍
Man I wouldn’t wanna bash that thing now 😳
I hear ya but it was meant for bashing. As I always say. This is the last time this truck is going to look so pretty! It has been bashed and has held up great! Thanks for watching! 😊👍
the video is super cool, I like it, my friend, Hello from Russia!💪👌🤛
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed the video all the way from Russia! 👍💪
After doing this my batteries lasted half the time do to the weight increase
How do you stop stripping rear diff ring gears?...I've tried freeing up the center diff to send more power to the front...but rear gears still strip.
Interesting. I’ve heard of people having this problem but fortunately for me it has never happened. Sorry I can’t help but best of luck.
You need to thicken the diff oil not thin it. You can use silicone ear plugs and stuff them as full as possible, with light weight the gears can rotate freely so they get going to fast and destroy themselves. Especially when the weight is unloaded.
What are the actual run time that you get with the different mAh batteries
Depends on your driving characteristics. I would say around 10-15 minutes difference.
1 thing that you forget to say is that the shocks against the back upstairs poor seat in the front have you do not have them yourself
how many yr before you broke some parts i just got an xmaxx and im happy i dont jump though hehe
It takes a lot to break the truck and if your not jumping as long as you don’t crash into a curb or tree I don’t think you’ll ever break it! 😊✌️
@@EVERYDAYRC tnx pretty cool truck 😎 yeah i just drive it chilled ride 😂
Do they make those upgrades in black
Yes
So those batteries have 3 separate wires, whats the smaller wire for?
The smaller wires on a Lipo battery or called the balancing wire. The plug-in to your charger and balance the cells while charging. You can also plug in a cell monitor and check the balancing of the cells
You mixed one of the most bulletproof parts (RPM), with one of the most fragile (Integy). Can you explain your reasoning?
Sure! I would say it’s hard to call anything bulletproof when you’re bashing. Anything will break if you push it hard enough. Rpm is extremely durable plastic and I have always used it through the years to add durability to my vehicles. I have also used integy through the years And I have found that it is equally as durable. I have never used integy a-arms But when using them for axel carriers and steering hubs I found that they work great for me and they never break and I have push them through the test. So if you want real life feedback. I can tell you that the aluminum parts I have put on this truck are durable and have absolutely no issues. People just like to hate on them for some reason
Where do you find the blue beadlocks? I looked on pro-line and they seem to only have the grayish color.
I dyed them and installed stainless steel hardware. Here is the video on how to do it!
@@EVERYDAYRC Thank you!

@@EVERYDAYRC Do i just need one of each ? sorry getting them for my kid for xmas ? i dont no much
Yes the come in pairs
@@EVERYDAYRC just seen lol they are all sold out
@@EVERYDAYRC you no where i can get them
I had a losi 3xle&dirdnt like them ,the way they built them is kinda cheap i think
How's the integy hubs holding up???
Hey, thanks for asking. I put the truck through a few tough bash sessions and they are holding up perfectly.😊✌️check the latest out here! th-cam.com/video/QZAD3Tlzuag/w-d-xo.html
The problem is the your prolines too heavy
That could be a possibility. We’ll see how it works with the upgrades
Michael Jordan yes bro
Deep creep is the best way to keep the plastic conditioned...OH YA!
That’s awesome! Always loved deep creep! 😊🙌✌️
I drive and jump the crap out of my xmaxx and the only thing I break all the time is the front and rear bumper supports. None of those parts that you show break on me TBH. I am having heat issues and motors failing on me after I started messing around with the gearing (50t spur gear and pinions bigger than 18t), so I'm probably going back to stock 54/18 gearing since my xmaxx 8s was way more reliable at those numbers TBH. What gearing do you run? I guess I'm also running my xmaxx almost non stop, so that doesn't help with the heat 🙁. Oh yeah and the stock bodies don't last long, even with gorilla tape reinforcement.
Yea man. This truck has been through a lot in the past 5 years. Can’t believe it took this long to break this part. Cant remember the gearing I’m using but it is for the high speed set up. You’re probably having overheating issues because mine is set up for TOP end and yours is set up for bottom end. You’re getting more revolutions on the motor which is creating more heat . I eventually would like to get a pro line body but this is only the second body I put on this truck in five years. The first body lasted one bash and this one has lasted for many years
@@EVERYDAYRC I'm not sure what you mean by top end VS bottom end. I have the max 6 esc and the other small upgrades. I run my truck in a very hot environment and on grass and dirt. Unless you put one of those bigger motors and stronger esc.
How much you want for it
Lol. Sorry not for sale at the moment. 😊👍Thanks for watching!
Where u get the shock covers
Unfortunately they are not available on outerwears website anymore. Maybe you can find them elsewhere
@@EVERYDAYRC what they called
Got a link for the moo clean an for the tires use chemical guys vrp winky rubber plastics looking for the moo products can't find them
Go to COWRC.com
Thanks just ordered me some like how you set up you xmaxx I did mine in green an blue expensive had to buy two of each side but spit up some colors my paint job changing colors blue an green
Thanks! That sounds awesome! 😊✌️
why is the rpm royal blue and when you put them on it the lighter blue
That’s just the color of the RPM. I wish it was darker too! 👍
@@EVERYDAYRC och now i get everthing in light blue i like that color i buy then too
@@EVERYDAYRC you van biy the dr from traxxas that dark
@@EVERYDAYRC can you send me the real color it is i buy it too i hope is not too dark on my full allu sky blue
How the hell do u still have a stock ecs?!?!
LOL. I do Get that question a lot and I am a firm believer that the reason why a lot of my electronics last are the fact that I use high-quality batteries. Many of my RC’s that have been prone to ESC’s frying or steering servos not functioning properly I can make the assumption it has to do with my batteries that I use. 😊✌️
@@EVERYDAYRC after about 10 runs mine was done for! An everyday I see people posting about there taking a crap.... I don't even really run my very hard that was the crazy thing.... max6 an stock motor is a good combo though! Nice truck!
Try windex for cleaning a rc car it leaves it brand new
th-cam.com/video/QVcmgDlVldc/w-d-xo.html
been in the hobby or a while now. have always HATED the term "Bashing" i dont know why, it just bothers me
I have had the worst results with rpm
I haven’t had the bad of luck. Sorry to hear it
Price??
899$ US RTR

True 100C id love to see someone pull 650 amps. Might be achievable for 1/10 of a second before it lights on fire lolz. Yeah they are quality, but are they really qualified at 100C? Why does everyone 🤥😢
Your 5% discount code is not working
I apologize about that I have contacted them about this issue and still waiting to hear back from them. With everything going on apparently my discount code was not renewed for the year 2020 so I am waiting for them to re-issue it. Sorry about the inconvenience
GOOD NEWS! DISCOUNT CODE IS ACTIVE. Go ahead and use it now. Thanks for understanding and I apologize once again for any inconvenience. ✌️
@@EVERYDAYRC Great! What you recommend to buy, 4s 9000 100c vs 4s 6500 dual core 150c?
It’s completely up to you. The 9000 will give you a lot more runtime. With the 100c rating it’s still a high quality battery. The 6500 150c is an amazing set of batteries as well and has the dual core technology. The 6500 will require the use of a foam block to take up the extra space on battery compartments. The 9000 will fit nice and snug. Choice is yours bro and you will be happy either way! 👍
@@EVERYDAYRC Thank you man. Great upgrades for your 8s xmaxx
Good video but I disagree with the rpm arms.. they’re 👎👎imo
Hmm. I’ve heard that. Only have one pack through the truck since the upgrades. I got the RPM hinge pin retainers. Hopefully they hold up. Thanks for the feedback! 👍
Too much aluminium will make it to heeaavvyy 😎👍🏻🇬🇧
Rpm arms are trash cause you need the bolts the pins don't work toss them in the parts bin and order the new traxxas hd blue arms
Yupp most definitely
I don’t know if they’re necessarily trash just because you need it threaded hinge pins. It’s unbelievable that I finally decided to go RPM and now Traxxas releases their HD arms. Oh well I’ll test these out and see if they work. Thanks for watching and your input
First first
o/
why are people so quick to put metal parts on high impact areas, metal parts are not flexible and just send high impact energy to other parts of the truck. Theirs nothing to soak up the shock and it just rips other parts of the truck apart, plus they are expensive just to have them bend or tweak. Maybe its just for looks...but its definitely not practical.
I guess you didn’t watch the video
integy yikes
I’ve never had any problems with integy through the years. Only use them in key parts of the vehicle
Softest aluminum money can buy lmao
Guess that’s your opinion. I’ve used a lot of different aluminum’s through the years and the integy that I have bought has performed well for me. I would never use on High impact or stress areas or to bling out my vehicle. Especially a-arms. If you use them as I did here on this build should not have any issues. I’m speaking from experience. I use what works son. 💪👍😊
Front hubs from traxxas with x in it r good
