- Sometimes things get a bit rough out there..Lol. Loving this new power setup!!!! Plans to install a Max6 changed when my order somehow got lost in mail. Borrowed my Firma 160A out of my Infraction for now. Excited to see what else M2C Racing has planned for this platform. Definitely a super FUN rig overall. Big thanks to Fast Track Hobbies in Rocklin CA for having all the parts I needed to fix Big Bertha.

Thanks Rich! You are probably the best and most educational RC dude out there! I’m retired military and follow all that you do; I have approximately 40 or so rc’s that after I watch what put them through I usually go buy it and the upgrades you do! I live in Laurinburg, NC and we have no hobby shop or place to run my cars like you! I’m in the process of buying a few acres of land to build a bashing track/area to run them! You are the real deal!! Keep up the awesome work you put out for the RC world!
Thanks so very much Wally for your service and the kind words 🤗. Getting acreage to build a bash park would be the ultimate 😱. Definitely something I've thought seriously about the past few years. So exciting to hear your plans Brother. Getting a skid or tractor to shape things would be awesome!!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊
If anyone's going to put this big beast to a test it will definitely be you. Great video. You learn a lot about the x-maxx having it put through its limits. 👍🏾
I'm so excited that rich and M2c are finally testing and experimenting with the xmaxx platform! I can't wait to see new designs and parts in the future. I'll be standing by ready to make my xmaxx bulletproof lol
8.28 😂😂😂
that aside, she was ripping!!!
LMAO 😂. Thanks Kev 🤗. Yeah I was a little surprised when I pulled the body off 👀. Had an absolute Blast with the new power setup!!!! Looking forward to getting her back out again soon. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Ultimate proof the Xmaxx is not what Kevin says about it on his channel and plastic "cheap" chassis. The Xmaxx "upgrade" is called ARRMA.
@@bretzeletouffeur7401 Arrma fan boy in the House!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
@@1lunifyd No way, I am a 144001 fan and not enough money for Arma or traxxas but I have a dedicated track in my garden and driving 1 hour a day..
@@bretzeletouffeur7401 very nice 👍
Just got the 124019 Epic
Love seeing an xmaxx in your videos now. Great job as always brother. Keep up the great work.
Been following you for a while and it is great to see someone enjoying RC without an overly biased opinion. Obviously everybody has their favorites regardless but I love it that you don't show your bias in videos and just want to enjoy the hobby regardless of the name on the body. Keep it up man Love the content no matter what you're driving
M2C is his Favorite & Basher Queen 😂😂😂😂😂👍🏾🤘🏾
Awesome bash brother you're sending that thing to to its absolute limits! More awesome upgrades soon to come
Thanks so much Brother Avery 😜!!!! So excited to see your center driveline creation 👀. Looks like a stroke of genius. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving 🤗🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
I was super surprised that the chassis broke she was ripping awesome!!! Looking forward for more videos or the x maxx!!
Sweet man as always👍
Man I didn't expect a blown chassis🤯
You are a Basher!! Skills are Amazing!!! Thanks for Keeping Us Entertained with These Awesome Videos!!! 🤗
Thanks so much Brother 🤗. Truly appreciate the kind words. Happy Thanksgiving 🍻😎💪👊👊
So cool seeing someone REALLY send a X maxx! My buddy was jumping his like 50ft in the air at the Skate Park in Philly in 2018. I'm excited to see if this becomes possibly your favorite large scale RC! I hope you get the Ho Bao MT plus 2 as well!!!
This is why I’m excited your running a xmaxx now. You put a thorough bearing on all your rc cars. I can’t believe you broke the chassis already. Well i look forward to m2c on the xmaxx!
I agree with Glenn Carlson. I did the Thunder RC wobble mod and zero issues with extremely huge airs. Tried a “The Brace” style mod and it DID NOT work. Also I’m very surprised on the breakage. Some of these comments may be true about that bracing system making it too rigid. No way shape or form am I badmouthing anyones design but I have literally beat the hell outta mine for over a year now with zero chassis issues. Love seeing you out there with the Xmaxx Rich. Even though it’s a bit strange LOL. Still a great bash on a complete monster RC truck. I absolutely love mine. Happy Thanksgiving Brother 👊
Got to say brother, it's kind of weird seeing you flog around an X-Maxx, but awesome nonetheless. Can't wait to see what Mitch has in store for this beast.🤘🤘
Thanks Brother 🤗. Yeah I'm super excited to see what's next 😱. Avery is finishing up a potentially game changing center driveline system and the hex adapters/extenders are next!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊
Holy crap man, that was seriously an epic bash. I'm super excited seeing this video as I just picked up a brand new X-Maxx the other day.
Thanks so much James 🤗. Stoked to have Big Bertha 😍. Definitely a super Fun rig. Congrats on yours Brother!!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Rich, would you mind if I asked what kind of maintenance / cleanup you do after running hard in the sand like that? I ran a few of my trucks at the beach this summer and the cleanup was pretty much a complete tear-down of each truck with a lot of meticulous cleaning (or maybe that's just me.) Just curious what you do to keep your X-Maxx in good running condition in such a harsh environment. Thanks!
@@xpedalpusherx hey James. Running at saltwater beaches presents different corrosion issues than a freshwater spot like mine no question. I usually blow my rigs off with a strong shop blower and air compressor at a bare minimum. If my rigs get wet/muddy, they usually get a full wash and lube with 50/50 mix of Simple Green and water, followed by a rinse off, careful blow dry, and Silicone Spray of all exposed bearings. My bearings get a better clean and bearing oil (or replacement as needed) during maintenance or diff fluid changes. In general, I find fine construction dust to wear on parts worse than sand. I'll wash during dry months after a few dusty bashes just to keep things smooth and performing well. I also do basic cleaning with a toothbrush or acid brushes. My rigs all get teardowns, but it's usually as needed, not on a set routine. 😎💪👊👊
That need a extended A arm kit for this! This guy has some amazing skill I watch his videos everyday! Great work!
Can't believe you broke the chassis so soon. I'm surprised at how cool that system stayed. Excited to see more xMaxx! 👍
I think the reason for the body roll cage is to keep the truck together when the chassis breaks. 🤣 Thanks for sharing, and for sending it like no one else!
LMAO 😂. Damn that was funny Brother 🤣. She did pop a squat once the body came off 👀. Really appreciate it my friend!!!
😎💪👊👊
Sweet stuff bro. Buffing that beefy beast dents out man. 👊😎epic
I seen this Mighty Truck conquer many Skate Parks, but Breaks in the Natural Element Bash. Kev would be Proud.
I wonder if the added metal components attributed to the break. It sheared off just behind the motor mount/brace. Normally the whole length of the chassis will flex dissapating the force over more area. Of course cold temps and huge air don't help.
The Xmaxx and Maxx love to flex.
Anything is possible, but it was around 53° plus wind chill when I packed up 🤔. I tagged some rocks, but nothing too Crazy. An inherent design flaw is the stock center shaft isn't designed to flex with the chassis. Also the center and rear pods can jam the gears together under enough stress. Looking forward to trying the CVD style 2 piece center shaft M2C is working on 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966I look forward to seeing more!
Yes I need a cvd center. M2C for the win like always
@@richduperbash2966 The solution for the center driveshaft is to cut it in two, put a bearing, it can still flex but it's now shorter. There are many mods around, one example: th-cam.com/video/v5CQNmu9Sp8/w-d-xo.html
Yes!!! Love to see big Berta upgraded and ripping 🤩 You are 6 teeth higher gear ratio than me and I think the Proline tires don't balloon enough, cuz I could see you having trouble bringing the nose up. Throw some six packs on there and go with a 30t and I think you will be golden 👌 Great to see you digging the Xmaxx man 🤩 Sight problem 😂😢 You killed it man, lol. I'm sure you will have it back together and ripping again!
Holy craps n giggles duperman, that was epic in a sick way bro!!! Snappage of the chassis.....def a first in my memory bank. Will wait with curiosity to see how you're gonna fix her back up to full chassis mode!!!👍 Keep 'em rockin' it ☝️☝️💯.
Damn you made that thing handle great, that m2c mounting plate is KILLER. Recently blew up my rear diff in my K8SEXB with that Max 5 1100 combo. Absolute gobs of power that delivers. Gotta get wrenchin soon
Thanks so much Phil 😜. Mitch and Avery are such an asset to us basher's 😍. They truly are amazing at what they do. Hope you get your EXB 8s back out running again soon.🍻😎💪👊👊
Killer session with Green Bertha my Man.. very nice rundown of the truck and the upgrades mounted on it. No doubt the 1100kv is well suited for this truck. But she's gonna need to get beefed up for your driving style brother. My jaw drops when I saw her split in half 👀😳😱😂. Your humor had me cracking up lol 🤣. I'm super glad M2C on full mode making hop ups for plastic fantastic. Have a great Thanksgiving brother.
WOW Awesome driving. Was great to watch. Very informative as well . Ticked all the boxes. Pretty sure it will just buff out🤣
Thanks so much 🤗. It'll buff out alright 😂. Happy bashing!!!! 😎💪👊👊
😮 Bertha 2.0 became 2.1 😉 another entertaining vid, eager to see the next one 👍👍👍
Great XMaxx bash bro! Looks like you are enjoying it 😀
I have one going in soon. Thanks for all the detail I'm so learning how do you keep your tiri
Dude ! Super awesome video ! Those were some full sends !
Thanks so much Jonathan 🤗. Happy bashing 🍻🚀🚀
Oh wow! The X-Maxx gets dialled in to fly Rich Duperbash style, loving it, loving it, loving it! and then the chassis split reveal 🤣 luckily not too expensive - simply brilliant vid my man - as always 😊👍🤣
Thanks so much Brother 😜!!!! Had a Blast out there despite the cold weather 😍. She was doing great until the last few minutes. Hopefully get her dialed in again soon. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Great Video!!! 👏🔥💯👍 You were definitely sending it off that ramp!!!! You were driving really well!!! I think those belted tires were limiting the air control. But the stock tires would probly blow up to much and explode with that much speed! I was cracking up so much when you said "A little gorilla tape and I'll buff that right out!!!!" That was priceless!! Have a great Thanksgiving!!! Look forward to seeing what you come up with for a solution and seeing more videos!!
Thanks so much Chad 🤗. Yeah the Masher X HP's are super fast, but definitely harder to pull easy flips and quick corrections without some ballooning 😂. I'm a chronic wheel swapper so I'll probably try atleast 3 different sets my next few bashes. My jaw sorta dropped when I realized Green Bertha had snapped like that 🤣. Have a great Thanksgiving Brother🍻😎💪👊👊
Awesome video Rich! I'm afraid I have to agree with others in the comments, I believe the added metal M2C bracing contributed to the breakage, by not allowing the chassis to flex. Nonetheless, great content, keep up the X-MAXX videos :)
What a blast watching you rip it out there 💥
Same when you showed the m2c chassis parts! These things are art in aluminum 🧐 just wow!!!
BUT in the moment seeing the motor and esc mount I was sure exactly what will happen to the bulkhead! 😉 believe it or not.!? It’s because of the gap in the chassis between front and rear bulkhead! The chassisflex on landings is causing compression on the upside and stretching on the underside and the brace eliminates the compression! So it’s just a question of time passing the limit ☝🏻 Even if there’s a second BUT! Your type of bashing is much more stressful to the components than the ‚normal user‘ will throw on! So at the end I think for general bashing with a more torque power system that motormount is the best on the market yet 👍🏻
I‘m pretty excited seeing m2c finding a solution- maybe with a kind of sliding spot in the brace🤔
Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment Kevin 👊. I agree on all fronts Brother. It's important this chassis can flex, especially with the center being lifted by design.The solid alloy driveshaft brace I installed didn't help either 👀. I think it eliminated all central chassis flex and helped transfer strain to the rear. I'll probably remove the ESC mount until I need it for a bigger ESC. I've already removed the driveshaft block. Just waiting for the CVD style M2C prototype to arrive. 😎💪👊👊
Awesome run #2 with Big Bertha bro! She's definitely up and moving with the 1100kv and other mods!👌Killer rips and sends with the plastic fantastic!😆Can't wait to get mine up and going! I have a 1100kv and a Max 5 sitting on my desk waiting for a transplant but will probably try all stock first to better understand the truck. Just hope I make it through a whole pack!😱😂Pretty cool M2C is on board with upgrades for this platform! Big props already for the stellar motor mount configuration! I wasn't really interested in this rig but I'm eager to help out where I can in testing! This truck does have great potential I believe once dialed in! Great vid my bro and take it easy!😎🚀🤘🤘🍻
Thanks so much Brother Eric 😜. Had a Blast out there despite the slight mishap towards the end 😱. Really FUN platform regardless of her weakpoints and known tendencies. Definitely handles like a lighter monster truck. Stoked to try out Avery's prototype CVD style center driveshaft 😍 and help get the pistons sorted. Looking forward to a pinch more width and stability with the hexs too 👀. Appreciate the kind words Brother. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. 🍻👍👍😎💪👊👊
Just picked up another x maxx, excited to try it out with some m2c goodies. Wasn't impressed with my last one but can't deny that I do miss it! It's good variety from almost all truggies in my own collection
That's awesome Steven 😱. M2C has literally changed what's possible with the XMaxx. Haven't busted a chassis since first testing their chassis brace 💪. The X-Series CVD style center driveshaft is butter smooth and their +15mm axels and hexes provide the perfect width and wheel options galore!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊
That xmaxx really does take a beating. Great bashing session for sure.
"Well isn't that special"😅🤣😂
Great bench rundown and bashing brother...sending the big girl👍👍
That was epic carnage for such a new truck....not Duperbashable yet😂
Them M2C upgrades are sweet...excited for some of the other 🤫🤫 stuff!
Cheap parts off Jenny's bulkhead and maybe a chassis?
I have pretty much another truck in plastics as backup but just broke an arm so far. Maybe need a bigger more gradual ramp for the plastic flex?
Bash on brother...top work as always my friend
Thanks so much Brother Dennis 😜!!!! That was a bummer cuz the truck did awesome until the last couple minutes 😱. A smoother, more gradual ramp definitely crossed my mind. My ramp has a 6.5ft radius with lots of kick 🚀. Got everything to patch her up again. Excited to test Avery's radical center driveline design 😍. Looks like another stroke of genius 👀. I'm confident we can improve this platform with some tweaks and thorough testing. Really appreciate it Brother. 🤙🤙😎💪👊👊
I think that's the most epic sends I have seen with an xmaxx. They look like they would be fun to drive. Too bad about the stock esc giving up so early. I love that bright green color scheme it must help with seeing it flying high like that. Some awesome flips with it. Seems like no matter the brand or vehicle that's the weak point for any plastic chassis. Too bad it broke so soon but maybe mitch could design a brace or something to sturdy it up there. Hope to see it back in action soon. Thanks for another awesome bash video man 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
😲8:27 …-slight problem indeed. Great sends she handled abuse very well till that point. Always enjoy watching your videos.
holy moly you sent than flying ... we love the xmaxx at popalong.
Never snapped my chassis. I also don’t send it quite so much. I hope it doesn’t have anything to do with all that stiff bracing the motor mount supplies.
That was awesome "Ooohhh there's a light problem... what the hell" 😂
Beautiful video! I have a very similar set up. Max 6, 50 oil, HR hubs. Engine blew and I just bought my 1000kv in a box, the guy recommanded 30/54 gears. But your 32/50 looks super fun.
Thanks my friend 🤗. 32/50 ran super cool and definitely had nice top speed 👍. I probably would've had plenty of air control with different wheels too. I'll likely stay with this gearing. Almost tried 34/50 with the HW 1100. 😎💪👊👊
Very well articulated,
a must recommendation mod 1.5 gears and QS8 connectors, and lots more Lolll
Hey buddy good video as always, theres a 3 piece center driveline option that should help with the bending issue. As far as the main chassis breaking in half…. 😂 well these things happen also rpm arms and rear bearings are the ticket 🤟 keep us posted on what mods u do in the future 😎 just a thought aside from the lower temps that top plate-billet ESC mount motor mount System might be making the rig rigid which intern may be leading to that premature chassis failure just an observation A buddy and I have been flogging The X maxx platform For quite some time now and main chassis failure is pretty rare. You do send your rigs tho 🤟
RPM arms are no good compared to the traxxas HD
Hey Raymond, what 3 piece center driveline option are you talking about? I would really appreciate a link or where I can buy it. Thanks in advance
I can't wait to get some M2C awesomeness for my Xmaxx!
awesome x maxx and bashing brother
🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️ 4:22 What in the world was THAT ?!? Awesome safe, almost unreal 🤣 I love it when the XMAXX is ejecting the body, like the Body want's to say, I am outa here 😜 AWESOME ESC and Motor mount solution from M2C! Can't wait to see what Mitch and Avery come up with for a solution for the center drive shaft. I guess it has to be a split solution. Happy Thanksgiving 😘😘😘
Thanks so much dear Kimberly 😍. Ramp shaver to FF save for Green Bertha 😱😂. Super excited to see the prototype center shaft Avery has masterminded 👀. Should be in the mail anytime. Also have a hex adapter/extender that should help handling and increase 24mm wheel options 🥰🥰. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving 😘😘😎💪👊👊
Never thought you'd ever pilot anything other than an Arrma 6/8S🤙😁
Great upgrades for the XMaxx, I have the same combo on my Outcast 8s EXB. Cool jumps and run it is really fast! Fun video Rich! 😃
WOW!!! Great video!!! You are the ulimate durability tester. Just like a factory race car driver. You test it, find flaws, areas to improve. Talk to engineering, make changes, come back and test it again!!!
HaHaHa, I Love the Xmaxx, I think it is a great rig, but I had to laugh when you removed the lid and it was snapped in half. You were sending that thing to the moon!!!! I love that Traxxas parts are cheap for the most part. Killer upgrades, keep it up!!
Hot run 🚀🚀 sea sun and bashhhh ! 🤟🏻🤟🏻
I like the idea of earplugs in the center diff. All the times that I had the center diff out of the very first gen Kraton 8s I never tried earplugs.
Ya Ripped' her in half Dude! 💪🏻😎🤘🏻
Great video! Makes me want the Xmaxx Even More, tho Mine Will Be Stock… Till She Breaks!😎
super the jumps you do with the x maxx
The body is amazing it was holding the truck together until you took it off😂Great bash video 👊👊💯💯
LMAO 😂. You're exactly right Mike. Really appreciate it Brother. Happy Thanksgiving my friend 🤗🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Happy Thanksgiving to you as well
Great Bash Session🔥
Hi again my friend 💯 percent has always, dude mad u snapped chassis like that mental air, I like the new mount plate cool stuff, just need to smooth out drive shaffed? As always epic videos keep up the good work? From the UK England Shaun👍💯😂🤬
I honestly never thought I’d see you with an X-maxx. I’ve only seen you run Arma and the occasional techno. In the words of Joe dirt that shit will buff out
And when I ran mine on 8s the first time it stripped all but 4 total teeth combined between pinion and spur. The spur had been overtighten at the factory and it broke th bottom of the spur hex screw hole which ended up running through the gears and of course when its further than you can hear not noticable until it just stops and take the walk of shame. Hot racing spur and tekno pinion put in. The tekno pinion has a 2.5mm grub to get more torque on it and a flat bottom to keep in place instead of the normal slightly pointed grubs.
There's already a two-piece drive shaft solution available. And I have it in mine and it works great
Tell Mitch to figure out a way so the body doesn't eject. 🤔 Hey, it dissipates the impact I guess! 😁 They have a wide Maxx kit for the little guy. Why not a wide XMaxx kit? 🤑 It's too clumsy. I think Traxxas needs to design a new truck. I think it's at the end of it's life.
WFO has hub extenders
😆 dude so glad u got the xmaxx.
That’s flying 👍🏻😎🇬🇧
I know we bash and we break its why wrenching is so much fun but I've never seen you snap a Chassis Rich, wow. This is what makes me a little standoffish on Traxxas , they break more than Arrmas do at least the big breaks. No biggie you'll have it back out and better in no time. Great video I tell ya you make the big breaks look like fun bro!
Holy I mean that thing just snapped like a twig. I'm kinda surprised but you go way big and that's a big girl, lol. Sick video bro.
Thanks so much Toby 😜. Yeah I was surprised she snapped too. Definitely a "what the hell ??? moment 👀🤣. She is a Big Girl for sure. I removed the driveshaft support today. Think it stopped any center chassis flex and put additional strain towards the rear 🤔. The shaft was still straight except on the end where the chassis let go. 😎💪👊👊
It may have but, that just seemed really unlikely to break like that, I mean you weren't landing bad at all. I would definitely recommend the two peice driveshaft upgrade. I bent 3 driveshafts in mine and since I did that my Xmaxx stopped sounding like a rattlesnake after big jumps 🤣
@@tripletrc5654 thanks so much 😉. I'm definitely trying a 2 piece setup before my next run this week. Really appreciate it Bro. 🍻
Yw bro but no thanx needed thank you for everything you do for this hobby. Can't wait to see the next vid. We have the same color Xmaxx by the way lol. Great minds think alike 🤣 😜. 🤙💪
It broke because of the m2c aluminum upgrades. M2c makes amazing parts but this one doesn’t let the chassis bend so it snaps it the spot it did for you
It needs a tower to tower brace made of carbon fiber like Basherqueen does for Arrma.
Sounds like an Excuse!!! I have seen this chassis brace tested and no breakage!! M2C is legit on there upgrades!!! Just seems like the plastic gave and broke!!! Every RC Breaks. The Statement that the XMaxx is King of the Bashers is Bull. The XMaxx can rip but it ain't all that!!!
@@ervinmedina9014 King would define the Xmaxx as best in all categories and the fact is, the xmaxx is not the best at everything, not even close. The price alone makes it a dud for a mostly plastic RC.
Nope, mine snapped the exactly the same today and I'm not running the M2C brace.
@@SolRayz appreciate you sharing that Brother 👊. Sorry for the late reply. Was out of town visiting family when I uploaded this. 🍻
Been waiting on this 🤙🤙🤙
Finally a proper bash for an x maxx video
Almost shit myself laughing with the throwback, "well isn't that speeecial" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dana Carvey was great
You have to be the best basher ever!
Happy late turkey day brother…… You had some nasty hits with this beast but overall runs great. I am running the same motor but with a max 5 and love it. Compared to stock it’s a night and day difference, and makes me wonder why Traxxas skimped on the electronics in this thing. I am also using the new m2c mount while running 30/50 gearing with belted duratrax six pack x . At times I feel I am also missing some wheel speed as it’s hard to get the nose up. Anyhow great bash and I can’t wait to see what other cool stuff m2c comes out with. Talk to you soon brother !!!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving Brother 🍻. Yeah it's apparent Traxxas really did skimp on electronics. Especially with a 1K truck 👀. Some guys are happy with stock system power and that's fine, but many of us simply need more grunt for performance and Fun factor 😍. Your set-up sounds Awesome 👊. I still like the Duratrax Six Pack X's and Lockups. Just have to maintain the glue beads running bigger power. I'm waiting on a fresh set of 8s Backflips. They're smaller, but balloon nicely for air control and handle Killer on my ARRMA's. Excited to test the prototype M2C 2 piece CVD style center driveshaft here soon. 🚀🚀😎💪👊👊
That top aluminium brace / esc mount might be to blame for that chassis breakage... It might worth trying again on the same spot without it. It's bracing the entire center causing a stress rise just when the brace ends. Can't believe how easily you hit that ramp at speed over and over and over... Awesome skills
Yeah that’ll definitely buff out👍
Awesome video!! Ouch!!
I was on the fence about the xmaxx. It's always funny how the Arrma/Traxxas fued is exactly like a Ford/Chevy fued. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. I think to get the Arrma 8s exb line and the xmaxx are the exact same monetarily to get them to perform the same it seems.
Great vid brother. I never been a fan of Traxxas.. i saw this vid and in so short of time the X Maxx it's not even half X Maxx anymore. I don't feel like paying 1000 dollars and then throw a bunch of money on top of it to change pretty much everything. it's almost an Armma now. Might as well get a Karton 8s or Outcast 8s. Just my 2 cents for those that can't afford to have multiple vehicles with upgrades. I have a Kraton EXB 6s and a Mojave EXB 6s both M2C to the neck..lol they are Fast tanks. Im looking to get in the 8s soon but i will definitely stay with Armma..
Thanks so much Brother 🤗. I'm not a fan of Traxxas either. The XMaxx is fun, but it's pricey for what you actually get in the box. Got mine primarily to help test and refine M2C upgrades and because I highly enjoy wrenching and tuning 😍. Wanted the challenge of learning and helping improve the platform where possible anyways. The 8s scale rigs are expensive so making a solid choice is important for most of us. Can say this though.....you have Killer taste with the K6s and Mojave EXB's 😱. Dressed with proper M2C they're friggin AWESOME. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Thank you for always take time to reply and be super cool. I will say my good taste comes from You and Erick. I use both of you guys as role models because you know your stuff 100%. And yes, my 6s rigs are crazy good. i don't bash at the level you guys do..lol.. but i have my fun and my rigs last forever since are copy from yours. Never a problem or a regret buying or doing something you guys do... I wish they did a Mojave EXB in the 8s scale. So, I guess i have yet to decide between the K8s or the O8s. I have the money only for one at the moment. And i will def will be upgrading as it breaks or need it. Can i ask you which one is your fav rig? The K8s or the O8s? both EXB of course.
@@mora9426 thanks again for the kind words Bro 👊. That's tough to answer because I LOVE the K8s and 08s. The O8s is probably more raw fun 😍. It handles Killer, especially for a stunt truck and tends to tumble back onto it's wheels more than the Kraton. There's no wrong choice either way though. 🍻
All good stuff. Mitch should also come up with a solution for the plastic center brace where it meets the rear shock towers. I always break that part after a few 30 foot plus jumps. Oh yeah, and some overkill driveshafts. The stock ones bend easily with big air. 👍👍👍.
Thanks Brother 🤗. Mitch and Avery are all over it with this platform 😍. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving. 🍻😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 Happy Thanksgiving! I'll keep an eye out for those beefcake M2C Xmaxx parts. Me and thousands of Xmaxx owners 🤣👍
Great video as always, I agree with others that it was probably the stiffness of the M2c top brace that stopped the flex. I wonder if mich could design one with a sort of hinge or 2 part hinge in the top brace to allow it to flex with the truck ? Keep it up and I’m thinking of doing the 1100 in mine as well.
So basically u had to take all the traxxas parts out and put in real parts 😁🤣 Happy Thanksgiving Rich! Sorry couldn't resist teasing u about traxxas 👍
The truck is looking sweet. And with you behind the wheel, Rich, is being driven like a pro. Great bashing man. Here is an idea, Rich, why don't you suggest to Mitch Looper to come up with a better design to keep that X-Maxx body on? I'll bet a lot of X-Maxx owners will greatly appreciate it.
Thanks so very much for the kind words Brother 🤗. I'll definitely bring up the body eject issue with Mitch and Avery 👍. It's actually one of my pet peeves with the platform. M2C could use Delrin to fortify the body cage system that would keep it from popping off like it does. 😎💪👊👊
I think u have a problem somewhere? 🤣 she has got power for days brother, epic run buddy u have to love the xmaxx and u have it in the best colour lol it matches my colour scheme for my channel lol great video brother 🤙👊😉
@ 8:31 You sounded like Jack Burton; Kurt Russell~ Big Trouble in Little China! 🤣 What the hell?Great bashing until that happened! That was epic!
Hey Rich, just got the 1100kv. Running a max 6. Trying to decide on a pinion with the 50t spur. Are you happy with the 32? Thanks.
Sweet sessions!
You can run battery straps thru the roll bar on each side , diagonal down to the side rails (slots are already cut).
That body won't come off.
Your reaction when you pulled the body shell off 😂. I'm surprised she snapped in two so early but those sounded like some hard slapping landings too. I admit I'm curious how the chassis would last with the factory top brace. Everyone says it's durable because it's so bendy and flexible to absorb shock, but that's a lot of shock 😂. Good thing chassis tubs are like 30 bucks
Great video!!I do the same style of bashing with my xmaxx, but stock motor bearings just went out so think I’m going with the 1100kv hw. what’s the best gearing in your opinion? do you think I should go 1100 or stay with stock motor and max 6 esc?
Thanks Brother 🤗. I LOVE the Hobbywing 5687 1100 setup. Currently running it with Vitavon 1.5 mod 25/30 gears. It's kinda ridiculous, but no cogging and acceptable temps running the dboot Backflip 8s wheels. Was running 34/46 gearing before with Hot Racing spur. That worked Killer too. 😎💪👊👊
I definitely love my Arrma Rigs :-)
Great bash 👍 X-maxx semms to be very fun car 🙂 🚀 But that breakage on good landing was weird, chassis must have started cracking earlier ☠️
Thanks Brother 👊. Think you nailed it with the chassis. It must've been cracked before that last jump. 🍻😎💪👊👊
That’s sick
Looks like m2c is having a sale right now too. Sweet.
Damn brother just about had me sold on buying an X maxx until the end of the video let me know if the super glue and gorilla tape will hold that together 😂
Question: What diff oil is in the front since you now have earplugs in the center and 100k in the rear?
What does 32/50 give you over other gearing for the 1100kv? I been using 32/50 and my batteries go fast
It definitely gives lots of top speed and wheelspin for air control during jumps. You can try going down a couple teeth depending on your wheel size and see if your run time improves. Gearing ultimately comes down to preference. 🍻
Just installed this chassis plate.
What did you do about the stock antenna location on the receiver box? Did you just tuck the antenna or did you reroute it somewhere?
I tucked the antenna at first, but eventually swapped in a Tactic reciever with TTX300 controller. No external antenna with great range. 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 makes total sense!
Thank you!
Nice off-road run 👍
