EARL….The problem is if you have to assembly and disassembly often it will eventually weaken the plastic threads,,,especially with a high speed drill,,,hopefully it work this time…,,,🇺🇸👈🚘
Yup, my X-Maxx bumper mounts and kush drive cover got all stripped out. I just replaced the stock screws with slightly larger self drilling metal screws. Good as new and it feels stronger as the screws set new beefier threads.
wow i heard a lot of people are breaking the wing and especially the bulk head, and that “upgraded “VXL 8s ESC which they have been making since the Xmaxx 8s??? came out. i just don’t understand. Today I saw 17 VXL 8s ESC some burnt some red light. I thought they where upgraded?!? i was so shocked and about 6 XRT Trucks that leaded repair. but everyone with a max 6 say it’s much better but still not for me. nope. great video the beginning of you youtube max 6 fire 🔥 freaked me out today LOL 😂. thank you so much for sharing your time. I appreciate it. 👍
Yeah Earl that definitely looked a bit more handy to fit that way... Thanks for sizing up the we screws as well.... As in which one goes where... I'm really enjoying the XRT vids lately thanks... RC brother. 😉😎👌
Nice job with the XRT front bulkhead issue - shortly after watching your video about Traxxas Customer Service, I noticed that the exploded view drawings had been revised with the 7720X part number. They put the date of the revision in one of the lower corners and it had been revised the day before.
Thanks for these videos. They are very informative. I have a broken front bulk head on my xrt now and am wondering if you’ve come up with a way to strengthen it yet? How does running it with a broken bill head affect it? I’ll apply your rear bulk head fix when that one breaks. What drills are rc friendly?
A first sight didn't agree with you but now I do that fire team sucks if its not the body cracking its the screws don't need mom wanna back out back and break keep shutting the whole car off I believe the front servo is so tight ass making a clicking noise so now it won't turn and the screw this trip so it won't come out what a waste of money I couldn't agree with you anymore about this car too much money for pork quality
And I'm sorry but I wish I had hundreds of dollars to throw away I only got one RC card to me they cost a lot of money I just wanted one good car what makes it so bad that I put all the fluid in the car I really don't know what all these parts is called sorry for me not knowing but from watching your TH-cam I learnt a lot how to keep the dip fluid I believe in shock fluid to make sure everything is running right but now the car works but the steering doesn't and the servo works I believe that's what it's called but I believe the screw was so tight on the bottom it is doing something I believe I don't know just mad right now
I am so mad that I am new and New Jersey nowhere near no store that sell remote control cars and no way that I know how to get in contact with the company to let them know man that car's a piece of s*** sorry for the language I'm so mad left the hobby got back into it for what to waste money I understand but come on I haven't even had this car no more than 2 weeks and now I'm thinking I might ified it's a how I wanted it meaning the body I didn't upgrade no parts I just put lights and color Defenders I wonder if they're going to say something about that if they're not going to want to give me my money back
As wild as it may sound, these breaks may be due in part to Traxxas running such a thin sidewall tire!.. just sayin'
Yes

Yes it will

Thanks for the heads up. I just checked my XRT manual and it doesn't have the correct part number, no X. Much appreciated!

Thanks for showing how to fix the problem on the Xmaxx 👍💯
Excellent modification tip. I'm all about bracing something up! For those who don't have a dremel, a cheap pair of sharp snips can get the job done.

Yes & I’ve been getting messages of ppl still receiving the wrong part 🤷🏻♂️idk why
I like your new intro,,,really off to a fiery start…whoosh 😀🇺🇸👈🚘
Got to get the video fired up 👀need to get $200.00 worth out of my mistake somehow 😱😂😂
Traxxas needs to update their dealers, I just called their dealer in my area and they told me the 7720 will be the same.
Yes a lot of job store owners just are not up to date on rc cars shocking they don’t fallow new releases and issues 🤷🏻♂️
@Earl Moorhead The center skid plate has 10 screws total, not sure why Traxxas shows only 6.
Good to know 🤔
Thank you
Great video showing the repair with the right part!
gone thru 2 and i ordered 2 more from traxxas online im wondering im im even gonna get the right part i bet they send me regular 7720s

What drills are rc friendly?
Any cheap harbor freight drill set works I haven’t fixed a front yet waiting on parts
Great video Earl👊👍
Great info Earl. Appreciate the in depth repairs and modification option.
How is your hobby room smelling Earl 😂 my wife would throw all my rcs away after that!! Glad your ok man. Your an rc community treasure for sure
Smells like money burning 🔥😂
That’s the worst smell of them all..
No doubt and it lingers for days haha I literally took an hour soldering up my xlx2 making sure I didn't screw it up lol 😂
@@dsjeffress for sure
@@earlmoorhead5555 yea I was bummed for you but makes good for the channel. Real life works the best thanks for that Earl.
No vitavon makes that part in aluminum…
They make a complete aluminum bulkhead but doesn’t match up to the XRT bulkhead upper front ? th-cam.com/video/o0_zCnFZjE8/w-d-xo.html
@@earlmoorhead5555 correct but the upper part is the same and that’s all you need.
The upper part is different not the same ?
This whole video is based off showing why the XRT is different?
The arm doesn’t fit if you add that extra tie bar on the other side if you do it on an xmaxx.
A first sight didn't agree with you but now I do that fire team sucks if its not the body cracking its the screws don't need mom wanna back out back and break keep shutting the whole car off I believe the front servo is so tight ass making a clicking noise so now it won't turn and the screw this trip so it won't come out what a waste of money I couldn't agree with you anymore about this car too much money for pork quality
Seems to be quite a bit of problems with this new model. I think i will get the xmaxx first, thanks for sharing.
👌🔥
Earl cool videos like yesterday videos I all way be careful with better you are I TH-cam good videos all time 😃💯🙏
Thanks 🙏
Great video Earl thank u for explaining everything in detail 👍🏽
Tuned in!
How bad is it to just keep running the broken bulk head? Seems like a lot of work to replace and not sure if its really hurting anything to leave it
It will break arms and hubs somewhat easier is all as things are moving around
You should be like Exocaged and vitavon everything😂 make it 3times heavier
And three times the cost 😮⚠️😂
We all laugh at how Horizon, Traxxas, or any RC supplier has avoided this channel like the plague. Corky works on his RC makes everyone laugh atleast!
I jump every time that esc cooks off. Top 14 oh yeah
Me to nightmare continues 😢
Great vid!!🏎️💨🏁
Good wrenching video. 😎💯💯💯
Maybe do a bolt and a lock nut on the bulkhead maybe it will make it stronger
Notification squad 🔥👑🔔👍
What is that
Was a scam batter always block them
Maybe I talk to pps about its and maybe he designs a chunk of aluminum to go on the front of the bulkhead
👍👍👌
Where can I get those ?
There not available yet but call traxxas for a timeline
Alright.... XRT is a bit of a high maintenance lady.😝😜💰
Seems it need an upgrade to make it reliable 😳
@@earlmoorhead5555 The Losi Laser nut Was exactly the same way. But after tons of mods and $$$$ reengineering I enjoy it now.🤪🍺
Yes the rest of this XRT seems good just like the xmaxx
And I'm sorry but I wish I had hundreds of dollars to throw away I only got one RC card to me they cost a lot of money I just wanted one good car what makes it so bad that I put all the fluid in the car I really don't know what all these parts is called sorry for me not knowing but from watching your TH-cam I learnt a lot how to keep the dip fluid I believe in shock fluid to make sure everything is running right but now the car works but the steering doesn't and the servo works I believe that's what it's called but I believe the screw was so tight on the bottom it is doing something I believe I don't know just mad right now
Best to walk away and cool down it’s a hobby come back to it when your ready 🙏👍
11th all right
