I miss mine so much. But i had to sell it do to unforseen medical issues and bills sadly now being a cancer survivor i was left with a brain tumor and a seizure disorder and unable to work so I now live on a very small fixed income so the chances ill ever be able to own one again is super slim sadly but it was a beast. Thanks for sharing if i could buy a new truck it would be the maxx v2 i love that truck thanks again
Imagine having to pay for medical bills because you don't have a federal health insurance😂
That’s terrible. We need Medicare for everyone. I wish I had enough money, I’d buy you a new Maxx, but I get by on 1000 a month disability.
@@adtjtjdjsj i paid for more medical related bills and insurance then most people make so don't go on some im better then you kick cause your no one its the ones like you that say stupid stuff that make the world the way it is so you yourself are part of the problem in the world these days just stop already it sounds dumb i worked long and hard for what little i make these days harder than most i was a contractor for the usps for years i was out the door at no later then 430 am and i didnt get home at night till 730 6 days a week and i drove 680 miles a day 6 days a week so i do believe i earned the small amount i make now
we really do@@jaybarber68 thanks man means alot
Bro start a go fund me. I’d definitely get the Maxx. It’s more durable and parts are cheaper.
I’d throw you $30 bucks!
Great review I agree with pretty much everything you've stated .With that I will say I've been in the hobby for 30 years. I've never had more fun with a basher than the X-Maxx.
I do have one. It’s a monster and tough as heck! U go a great job, keep it up!
Xmaxx is 10/10 and always will be
Spot on with the Review. I agree with you. I run my X-Maxx with the Max 5 and 1100kv 5687 motor with 25/35 gearing. Double and triple backflips easily. I did have to put some aluminum in key areas like the diff cases and covers so that the drive train can take the extra crazy power and I have to use belted tires, since the stock ones rip apart. I also have the split center driveshaft. Rear RPM hubs and front updated hubs with the bigger inner bearings like the RPM ones. 26ft jumps are my maximum. I also had to do the extra tie bar hack on the front upper bulkhead, since that breaks easily with huge jumps. Chassis is fine with my 26ft jumps. My center brace always breaks in the rear area, so I'm considering going with the M2C brace, but I'm not sure yet. I just leave it broken. Another great review my friend! I'm also using the upgraded Xmaxx servo (stock one died after a few months). I use Spectrum TX and RX. I also use a Nylon roll cage that keeps the body in place and protects it roll overs and crashes. That roll cage doesn't let the body come apart in the rear (cracks and stuff). So I love it for that reason. Super durable roll cage too. I've had some pretty big crashes already and it's still going strong.
witch one do you really like more stock out of the box traxxas x maxx or arrma outcast? looking to get one soon
This is my take. The xmaxx is one of the most reliable and fast RCs you can buy. There’s just nothing that turns heads quite like it. Thankfully I do have the spaces available where I can just peg the throttle for 10-20 seconds without risk of hitting anything, though it’s less available in the summer due to tall grass, so I absolutely love it. Served me well for lots of abuse and minimal maintenance. I treated mine to the widemaxx kit and it’s even more fun. Upgraded the servo simultaneously so I found there to be a improvement to steering but I have heard it’s worse with the widemaxx kit if you leave the stock servo or are used to the upgraded servo. That all being said, I can’t say my judgment for mine in particular isn’t clouded by how much I paid. Used for $650 with the traxxas link in mid 2020. Absolute steal at that price.
16:00 $1000 in 2022 money is $810 in 2016 money - that's 19% cumulative inflation. Its price hasn't changed since original release if you take inflation into account. Thanks for the great video! Love how thorough you are :)
Just got one and I love it! Very durable and fast as hell to be out of the box! I'm certainly satisfied with it! 🏁🏁👍👍👍
I might get one in December. Well if the wife doesn't change her mind 🤞😊
Where do you buy the rc cars
What is a good shock for this monster? Mine is basically stock except for helical diff gears front and rear. Destroyed stock gears in about a month of having it. I wanna get more speed out of it. What is a good combo? Should I go with aluminum upgrades or keep it as it is?
I love my xmaxx and agree with everything you said. I keep my jumping under 20ft now cause otherwise you will throw pins out of the control arms. I have had my ex Max for three years now 8S and I have literally only broken bearings and tie rod and bodies
Gen the cen or m2c captured pins. Never happens anymore. The cen’s are cheeper
@@ryand5665 exactly. Cen pins all day
@@ryand5665 but doesn't it come in the way of the steering assembly at the front side...?
Thanks for sharing this review brother. What is your favorite rc car all aroud and why if a may ask. 👍🏾
is this truck ok without the wide xmaxx kit?
Definitely do comparison im thinking of getting fifth scale arrma. Have xmaxx now for a while. Love ur channel subbed long ago 👍
The front and rear diffs literally come out with a few screws. How are they hard to get out?
They’ve recently updated the X-Maxx to larger hub carriers and bearings.
Nice vid - thank you!
I appreciate the review and would love to see it head to head with the Outcast 8s.
Excellent review of the X-Maxx. I too have an X-Maxx and I enjoy it, but really do not run it much because of the size. I Would be interested to see a review of the Kraton EXB and X-Maxx. Keep up the great, honest reviews!!
I have a review of the Kraton as well as several comparison videos.
Best Rc reviewer on TH-cam. "I've found "
Wow, thanks!
If you guys had to recommend a “budget tug-of-war truck” what would you say, I was looking at summit until I saw this thing drag it. I’d like a kit form with good aftermarket support to build a good puller, thanks in advance!
I went with the Reeper 2 years ago over this and I'm not disappointed one bit!
Great review , what gearing do you recommend on stock esc and motor ?
20/50 with stock tires and electronics.
Cool RC and great review brother
Thanks 👍
Awesome review! I like the structure. You don’t see that much. Looks like you are in California. Where was that dirt track with all the jumps? Looked awesome!!!
Chassis slap is not bad!
It allows the chassis to absorb the energy from the fall/landing. If there is no chassis slap the shocks and shock-towers will absorb the whole energy and than they can break. So chassis slap is a welcome thing but most people think it is bad...
Sorry for my bad english!
Greetings from Europe!
Just to said m2C make the xmaxx a pretty smile getter whit the m2c parts.great vid my man
I have watched so many of your videos! The Xmaxx is one of my favorites. I've been flying fpv toys lately, all my land toys are collecting dust. Maybe someday you'll be into air toys.
thanks for watching! FPV looks fun, I'm sure I'll try it someday.
I have to disagree with the first half. 1) this is more of a MCG chassis. 2) build is super durable and really no more complex than most in class. On par with arrma and no less. 3) they’re not 17mm hubs man, they’re 24mm. The wheel nut is 17 but the hub is 24. Makes me doubt how much if any maintenance you’ve had to do with it. Edit: then you go flip the script, geez.
Great vid!!! This is just me but I felt your star rating, and classes were spot on! If I were a true basher, one of these would be the one. It would have to be on super sale for me to buy it. 1000.00 bux is a half cow in the freezer these days... just sayin! Keep the reviews coming!!
thanks for the kind words!
'Only' a thousand dollars in the US? At current exchange rates it's equivalent to $1325 here in Europe!
Traxxas is SOOOO expensive outside of the U.S., it's crazy.
What gearing are you running if you didn't mention it? I was considering running 18/50 gearing. I need more wheel speed for doing backflips. The stock 18/54 is just able to do maybe one back flip but at a snails pace.
I’m running 18/50 I think.
@@RazorRC okay that's what I'll run. I ordered the 50 tooth spur.
1680 Canadian after tax was the best deal I could find, get mine in 3 days
Will you make a tuning guide video on this one?
honestly, not a whole lot needs to be done.
Underrated channel
thank you!
Hi, I was looking to buy a Kronos XTR, but since I don't live in Europe, the parts availability is sort of limited. Even on EuroRC I found that the shipping costs would be about $20 for any part. I don't really want to spend an extra $20 whenever I break something. So I was wondering if there was a website or supplier that sold basically all of the parts for a Kronos XTR but with good shipping costs to the USA? I am aware of Jenny's RC but they don't seem to have that big of a parts selection for the XTR.
Thanks, I also really enjoy your video's.
hobbyrecreationproducts is the U.S. distributor for Team Corally
@@RazorRC Thanks!
Is the xmax worth the money and the cost of the batteries and charger??? Only ask as I really want to get one after new year.
Few bucks shy of 2gs in Australia. But I still had to get one.
How much are those rc cars
Just found a good deal on one on eBay...awaiting its arrival now!
I have one. I didn't find it hard to work on. Steering servo is bad. It needs a good quality metal cased metal geared servo with a aluminum horn and then it is fine. I put a BEC on mine to improve steering response. I added RPM threaded hinge pins. I don't really feel it needs any more mods unless you want to go over 50mph or you want more punch. If your going to jump it over your head I would get the m2c racing heavy duty brace for the bottom and buy spare arms steering tie rods bulkheads and axles. I would give it a 9/10 I am not brand loyal.
My biggest complaint is the crappy stock servo. For the price this is, it should come with the upgraded servo.
yeah, metal geared at least
Do you guys recommend an upgraded servo for this beast?
Perfect Pass Monster 56KG is a good one, also Traxxas makes a metal geared servo upgrade as well.
@@blademaster7879 got it, ty
In the uk, they’re about £1000 which is about 1100 usd to my knowledge but with batteries , it’s about £1500 so quite a few people I know but them used because they’re a lot cheaper and most include batteries
Someday I'll get one of these
Way more that 1000 bucks here in thw UK, more like 1300 bucks! Still, think its one of the best bashers on the market though. If only i could afford one lol
I can't believe they charge that much!
I’m looking to buy a used x maxx . Wanted one since it came out as a 6 s.
Yes definitely you should make a head to head comaprison if you didn't made already since i watched this a year later... nothing shows more which si the better one like a head to head in jumps and on rought terrain...
Quiero el mio, pero en colombia tiene un precio exorbitante, no encuentro otra forma de adquirirlo 😢 por favor un SOS
Good review as you always do my friend. I don't own an xmaxx, and don't intend to get one strictly because of the price. $1,000 for an rc is simply over the top for me. I am curious as to what your favorite basher is that you own and would love to see you do a video on it comparing it to others in it's class. Thanks for the work you do to keep us with great content. I always look forward to your videos, you are actually the only youtube channel that I have my notifications turned on for.
Go with the Traxxas Maxx , smaller price, smaller truck , however, SUPER STRONG !!! Great truck . But do what makes you smile every time you bash!!!😁 just enjoy
My favorite basher is probably the Tekno MT410.
@@douglascalhoun7041 I have a Rival MT10 and a Rival MT8. Love both of them! 👍
Hey Razor, I actually have 2 XMAXX'S. I would tell people that when purchasing the Xmaxx you will replace the electronics the first year. The servo will die, as will the ESC. Factor that with the $1000 price tag.
good to know
My stock esc is still going strong over a year now. Stock servo went out on my very first run.
Servicing isn’t really difficult & isn’t something you have to do very often. The C-Maxx is a monster truck, the Kraton is truggy, like the Traxxas XRT. Paid about $980.00 for my Kraton and it is a killer truggy, but I was in shock when I went to order a new chassis for it..seriously?! $125.00. Paid it once m, bent it again and it’s going to be parked for a while.
Xmaxx is a blast to wrench on! Big sturdy and not so small and dinky as other platforms to work on
Just pick up one today with upgraded front control arms and came with a set of paddles tires and new tires, he claimed he only used it for maybe 3-4 hours but now sure but 2 sets of batteries 9600 and charger paid 700 not sure if I got ripped off or not.
You did not get ripped off! That’s a great deal.
Plastic is more durable in a basher rc in the beginning but in my experience after a year or two it begins to age fast and gets brittle and breaks a lot,metal on the other hand in my experience doesn't.The old large scale losi's,Hpi,AE's,kyosho's all classics,all metal chassis,let the buyer decide?
you don't happen to clean with Simple Green, do you?
If it’s the best 1/6 scale truck and is the most durable, I personally believe the value should be higher, just because it doesn’t have the metal parts, the same parts that make the others less durable seems to be a plus in the value category. Just my opinion, but otherwise a good review.
Why have you not included the "electronics" category?
I have the max and the X max there is absolutely nothing like them
🎉🎉🥃 Razor
I’m going to build the largest Make Snoop DoGG proud and watch the Hell out of this show
I’m soo happy YOU did one of these Razor 💯🤣
Over all best rc truck ever made goat basher
This makes me want to sell my arrmas and wltoys buggy . Just to buy this
Informative vid, although very funny design score, when this car literally set a before and after in the industry when it was released, and everything is very cleverly designed from the ground up to be accessible and intuitive and only needs 2 different screwdrivers to take apart the entire car, btw, in Spain this car costs 1500$ ……..
I think you over rated the XMaxx.
I did the research on it, and found that most people listed these parts to upgrade the mighty X Maxx.
I went ahead and purchased all of the parts listed. I bent the driveline right away.
In a few weeks I had to install them all due to breakage.
After spending an additional $167. Then it's rated as you mention.
I think these parts are a must.
1. CEN Racing GS025 Threaded Hinge Pins 4x56 $14
2. RPM Oversized Front Axle Carriers $26
3. RPM 81732 Oversized Rear Axle. $23
4. Traxxas TRA7746X Steering Link, Steel/ Servo Saver Spring, HD. $11
5. Traxxas 2087X Gear Set Metal (For 2085 & 2085X Servos) X-Maxx. $30
6. M2C 1129 X SERIES CHASSIS BRACE. $63
Thanks
Have Fun.
I agree on the price. To high
Its nearly $2000 in Australia
😪
I appreciate these reviews, but disagree with this one. The design is not a 2. Design affects both performance and durability. As a racer, I notice you tend to favor the performance aspect for the design category and ignore the durability aspect. The design needs to consider both, and that would put the Xmaxx at a 3 or 4. Also the value is far from a 2. Unlike most RC's, it is made in Taiwan, which costs more and has less QC issues. There is inherent value knowing it is good out the box. Additionally, the durability plus cheaper plastic replacement part costs means it will cost less long term. That would put the value at a 3 or 4.
Thought I should follow up. I respect your opinion and was not saying you are wrong, just offering my opinion as to why I do not agree with a couple of your points. Keep these reviews coming. They are great.
no worries, I appreciate the comments. I try to keep the categories distinct, so that design has no bearing on durability or performance or whatever, though it's hard to keep them completely separate.
17:13 What rc car dod he just say? "The ___ Reaper for $700"
There ain't shit Traxxas has made that I have owned that's durable. I haven't owned a xmax but i refuse to pay that price for a traxxas.
😐😐🫢🤭🤫🫡
Traxxas Xmaxx Ultimate
By the way I have the 8s
Yes I think traxxas are good but a rip-off for the actual materials you get
Traxxas love😍France 🇨🇵
Got to laugh
We do not bash our vehicles we leave all four tires on the ground and nothing ever breaks did you ever think of that Sharpie you sound like a know-it-all but I don't think so
I dunno, every Traxxas promotional video I've seen from them shows the X-maxx leaving the ground. Look into it, maybe if you jumped your car once in a while you'd have more fun.
You should really do some research before making a video Traxxas caster blocks are the same as RPM
Uh, what? www.rpmrcproducts.com/shop/axle-carriers-caster-blocks/oversized-front-axle-carriers-for-the-traxxas-x-maxx/
Not the same
You really have no clue x-maxx perfect out of the box just have to change the servo that's all Metal Gear server way to go
You are wrong!!
Therefore we thumbs down your video
