Perfect install brother. Can't wait for the final version that will allow the Xbrace to float a bit in the center... M2C = Gamechanging mods that are Super Bash Tested 💪🚀🚀👍😎
Great info brother, I've been checking the website every day for this. But I know yall test to perfection so I'll wait I guess lol. Great video brother. 💪🤙
Be sure to add a 3mm thick o-ring to provide tension on the input cups on the ends and a dense foam shim on the center block to eliminate the “slop”. This completes the design and mine have held up to EXTREME bashing from 2nd story rooftop ramps for the last 7months no problem…
Spoken like a person with true experience with the XMaxx. Great info man👍 Can't wait to see this hit the market. M2C got some great parts for the Xmaxx.
Always Appreciate you stopping by and checking out the vid man. Congrats on the new Xmaxx! Bending center driveshaft is a Big weak point on this truck for sure. This is a genius way of solving this issue once and for all. Heat shrink only for testing. Final product will be more refined.
Looks like a good fix. I wonder how the drive cups will go with wear? Might need replacing every so often if the pins wear through eventually, just like on the diffs. And a sleeve might help strengthen the drive cups as well from splitting. Great solution to the stock torque tube though mate!
Appreciate your time watching brother. So far it's holding up strong without any issues. Just like anything else you have serviced it for wear but it's gonna be a while before that happens. A massive upgrade over the stock one no doubt about it.
@@CommanderAstigRC fantastic mate! I would have no problem replacing drive cups every so often! A cheap servicing cost for so much fun! I haven’t received my new X-MAXX yet but I’m doing my homework so I know what to upgrade and know what to expect to keep the beast running! I will definitely buy one of these when they become available! Thanks for sharing.
Seems great!!but now are we back to pins working them selfs out?, groves being worn into the outdrives to the point where they break?, and all the typical head aches associated with cvd style shafts ?
Appreciate your time watching Jay. That is why do thorough testing on this kit to make sure they're not causing more harm than good brother, and so far they've been awesome 😍. th-cam.com/video/ph9Lm0iu5NM/w-d-xo.html
I installed the M2C chassis brace. Have not tried it out yet, that coupled with the steel M2C center drive shaft would eliminate most of the issues with hard landing the XMAXX. Do you know when M2C will be releasing the drive shaft and the 15mm axel extensions?
Appreciate your time watching brother. Good call on picking up the bottom center chassis brace. CVD style center driveshaft and extended axles should be very soon available.
I agree. It really does look like it will help solve the driveshaft bending issue. I have been running a different brace for almost a year. No issues with bent driveahafts anymore either. It was only about $40. How much is this M2C part? I don't see it on the website.
the first version exploded because you didnt cut enough of the drive shift in each section. there needed to be a bit of loose space between each shaft connector.
@@CommanderAstigRC well I think everything is the same , but not sure about how the drive shafts hook o to the differtals? I know Traxxas over time has changed the drivetrain on them forsure.
It costs 18$ to replace this with OEM part vs 178$ M2c. Unless you break this every weekend I don’t see any point . M2c price is a big rip off. No thanks .
It all boils down to how hard you bash. In my case totally worth it. I don't mind changing broken parts but it gets annoying after a while. With this upgrade it's more play time less wrench time 😀
Keep it light and this dont happen. Its very easy. Why would they design a truck like that? Well they dont you "upgraded " it. Crazy how if you go all out in weeight and power thatevery rc breaks. Odd its like to much maybe?
I appreciate your time stopping by. It all depends on how hard you bash your truck IMO. Personally, upgrades are necessary for extreme bashing that I do. More play time, less wrench time is what these upgrades brings to the bashing game. th-cam.com/video/ljP7p13y3wY/w-d-xo.html
@@coolhawk2003 my Xmaxx and XRT goes on hibernation in the winter unless I have New I gotta test. My Arrma army on the other hand, goes to the battlefield all year round.
@@CommanderAstigRC that's so sad. Truck is made for it. Bottom not flat so it's like a boat going thu the snow. Plus so light it don't sink too. Just like riding water. Try keep it light and stock and you got more to do.
@@coolhawk2003 based on my driving style this truck did not hold up stock when I got it and I keep replacing busted plastic parts almost every run(Not Fun). Based on my experience this truck is way tougher now after all the upgrades I have on it. Less wrenching more playing.

Thanks Bro Dennis. Always Appreciate you stopping by brother. Truly appreciate M2C commitment to improving the Xmaxx platform.
Great info brother, I've been checking the website every day for this. But I know yall test to perfection so I'll wait I guess lol. Great video brother. 💪🤙
Thanks brother. We're getting close to it. This should be available very soon
Looking forward to this being released. I check their site each day.
Should be pretty soon brother.
It's an awesome center driveshaft solution! Your gonna love it man 🤩
Thanks so much Aaron. Looking forward to testing them all out.

@@CommanderAstigRC Any idea on the timing of the release?
@@ReadySetRC in a couple weeks brother.
@@CommanderAstigRC Thanks bro👍
I had thought you'd already put your center shaft in yours I must have been some one else's video I'd seen
Appreciate you stopping by Bro. There's a couple of us on the team.
That is an awesome upgrade. So well designed as always. M2C nailed it again 👍
Appreciate your time watching Kim as always. Props to M2C for stepping in and bringing out some amazing upgrades for the Xmaxx.
This is AWESOME! I want one! Just got another xmaxx and after second drive my driveshaft is flopping around. Great video! Why the heat shrink?

@@jimbojones2457 it's already available. m2cracing.net/cars-and-trucks/791-m2c-1179-x-series-center-drive-kit.html
There’s no caps for the bearings? What holds them in place?
Here's the link to the final production of the part. m2cracing.net/shop/shop.php#!/M2C-1179-X-SERIES-CENTER-DRIVE-KIT/p/478044702/category=136127938
How did you get the old drive shaft out without taking one of the ends off
Appreciate your time watching. To get the old one piece center driveshaft you have to detach one end. No way around it.
Seems great!!but now are we back to pins working them selfs out?, groves being worn into the outdrives to the point where they break?, and all the typical head aches associated with cvd style shafts ?

Appreciate your time watching Troy. This is on testing stage but shouldn't be too long now.
What are you using ?
@@jjs-by8ge I'm testing the M2C CVD style center driveshaft for the Xmaxx.
the first version exploded because you didnt cut enough of the drive shift in each section. there needed to be a bit of loose space between each shaft connector.
This would be awesome, my question is will it work in the first generation of Xmaxx? I have an original from when they first came out.
Appreciate your time watching Charles. I'm not 💯 sure. If yours runs the same center shaft as the recent ones then absolutely Yes.
@@CommanderAstigRC well I think everything is the same , but not sure about how the drive shafts hook o to the differtals? I know Traxxas over time has changed the drivetrain on them forsure.
Have you ever had issues with breaking shock towers by the bulkhead, I've broken 4 in my last 4 runs
I've been lucky with the towers. I've broken other things tho.
Where can I get the driveshaft? I dont see it on M2C's website.
Still under development. Should be out soon brother.
That thing looks like it’s going to split your chassis, center part should made of bendable plastic instead of metal.
Appreciate your time watching DJ. Keep in mind this is a prototype for testing. M2C already made some changes for the final product.
@@CommanderAstigRC nice! Yeah all in all is perfect except the center part.
Glue Carbon fiber sleeves over the ends
how much parts list for my xmaxx?
Appreciate your time watching Robert. If you're asking how much this part cost? It's Not available yet but very soon.
this is brilliant. patent that shit before Arrma or Traxxas gank it
I appreciate your time watching Chad. M2C is Dope at innovation straight up.
