That things a beast bro. Love watching you wrench
Thanks dude! 😊 now I just need to test durability haha
Epic show and build Matt are those shocks stock build they’re awesome the way the truck lands💯💯💥😎 thanks for sharing
Thanks dude! I'm glad you liked it 😊
Shocks are 70wt rear and 60wt front and I changed the springs like instructed and included in the widemaxx kit
Awesome upgrades
I can’t wait to get my max v2 soon
I've driven my Maxx once and now you've made me order bits 😂😂 Sweet little animations in there too bro!
Oh sorry bro! Haha 😄
Thanks dude! Glad you liked them, thought they were cool to
@@MatthewSimm 👍👍
Wow crazy build man. I am working on building mine up. Just replacing things that break for now though. Minus servo change right away because Traxxas servos always stink.
Hey thanks bro and yeah, traxxas servos have never been great. Just lasts long enough to save for another one haha
I hope youre running 4s, id drop the gearing, also check the weight, the added aluminum may have you in the 1/8 range
Ordered the 2200kv, hope that works haha
Hello Great Video I have a question on the steering servo do U need any extra links or mounting hardware & on the Motor also?
That’s well nice bro I love upgrade videos there the best
Great job on the vid and the Maxx. Hot build there. Curious about the motor. I'm looking at a 2400 kv castle for my build so can't wait to see if you can diagnose the problem with overheating. Cheers!
Unfortunately I haven't solved it, I've tried rechecking the drive train, going to stock gearing abd a high powered fan, all helped but at that point, I shouldn't have spent the money on the 2600kv haha.
I need a servo for mines. how’s the servo holding on after few months. turn out really nice
Nice mini Maxx. I m gona try the UDR Combo to put in my mini Maxx.
Great video and I’m really looking forward to the team Corraly video
Yo dude, thanks! And video soon bro
So fun to buold custom RC. Really liking what you did here with the Maxx. GreenBuild👍
I have two amazing project builds based on my favorite RC. Arrma Mojave custom ive named Heavy Metal. It's a ground up custom build. I also have most the parts for a sweet custom Baja Rey King Shocks trophy sct build❤
Sounds like you have some awesome projects! 👌 will you make videos if them?
Great video Matt. Really enjoyed it. Regarding the GPM steering stuff, was it stiff when you put it together? Did you mod anything on it. Ta
Hey thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😀
The gpm went straight in and so far no problems, time will tell.
I wonder which quick connect drivers fit that Milwaukee screwdriver? My Traxxas ones barely fit it.
Watch out for that GPM bellcrank. It’s not great, quite often ends up binding up so you don’t have any servo saving action. I killed a very powerful servo because I didn’t realise the servo save had binded up. I’ve now gone back to that standard bellcrank setup and added several washers under the spring to tighten it up and improve the steering response. Hate to see you kill your fancy new servo.
Hey David!! 👋 thanks for the information mate, I'll definitely keep an eye on that, maybe I should loosen it a bit haha
@@MatthewSimm yeah keep an eye on it. There’s a few posts about it on the Traxxas Maxx Facebook group. Some people have filed down the servo saver faces and applied grease so it slides much smoother. Mine worked fine to start with but then the metal surfaces of the saver started not to slide properly if that makes any sense.
Definitely ebay some vitavon stuff if I was you absolutely solid
Where did he get those shiny screws
Bigs wheels and gearing for that 2600
Hey I'm curious if you did end up going back to the stock motor? I think I care more about torque and keeping stable temps etc, so I planned to keep stock motor and just do the max8 esc. Bc of the way prices/shipping times worked out I ended up buying the combo with this motor add figured I'd just sell the motor. I saw your vid which kind of confirm for me, but just wanted to see if you ultimately stuck with that decision. I do have a hobbywing motor in my rustler, and I do like it. Also like how it has the thermal monitoring/shutoff which (I think) wouldn't be compatible w the traxxas motor.
Maybe the motors hot bc it's not being fan cooled compared to stock. I'm curious how this worked out about to do the driveshaft and block upgrades
Putting a heating and fan definitely helps haha 😄
I’m soon putting in a Hobbywing 3200kv motor/esc in my Maxx v2!
Another awesome vid! Awesome upgrades! And now for the Tekno build ;)
Waiting for some stock to Australia, either the tekno ET48 2.0 or the mt410 with some m2c haha 😉
@@MatthewSimm personally, if u got the maxx change it up a little and get the ET48 2.0.
Don’t coast 2coast have kit stock either?
I was waiting on a tekin combo took too long so I grabbed mine from USA .. just so I didn’t miss Raceday
No they don't, both campbelltown hobbies and c2c are out of stock. C2c has the mt410 buy I agree a change up would be better and I would prefer the Et48
@@MatthewSimm ahh bummer huh, must be coming on the same shipment as there tekin stuff.. yeah Campbelltown go through c2c for there tekno stuff. Campbelltown sponser our track :-) damn good hobby shop man!
Hi. Great video.
Send some of your warm weather here to Germany! 😊
I don't understand your choice of motor, as I thought the original motor has 2650kv, so practically no difference.
I changed to a 2050kv motor after the original broke (already have max8 controller in).
I left the original gearing at 24/50.
Runs really well
Hey dude, I'd love to send some heat your way, it's too hot here haha!
Stock motor is a 540 sized 2400kv, I thought the bigger size and higher kV would be a good power increase 🤔
I've got the 2200kv on the way and I'll probably put the 2400kv in the slash and the 2600kv I'll find something to run that in I'm sure haha
Man I would love to see one of these videos for the xmaxx!! Just tell me the best and most recommended upgrades
Check my recent community posts about my upcoming xmaxx build 😉 it'll have all the mods I think a stock xmaxx needs
Hey buddy how did you mount the esc? I have the same problem?
how did you search for the screws? and what lub did you use for the diff? thanks
Nice job. Your video edit skills improve from video to video ;)
My maxx almost the same except I has plastic wheelhubs and stock motor and mamba monsterX ESC. With higher 2600KV you maybe need to stay on stock gearing or lower the pinion by 1-2 tooth. Or just put a heatsink and fan on the motor with stock gearing. I like how it turned out. looks nice. Me also need to do stainless screws. And I plan to V2 convert mine. Already has the V2 wheels on it.
Thanks dude, I'm really trying to improve 😀
I think I'll just go with the 2200kv or revert to the stock motor 🤔 I tried the other things and nothing has worked.
I also want to do the v2 conversion, the only reason I didn't is because I couldn't get the parts in Australia 😞
@@MatthewSimm V2 conversion is delayed for me in Europe too. Can't buy body and chassis anywhere. Maybe wait for someone make an unbreakable V2 body . For stock motor it can handle 6s so it is not a bad thing to keep with better ESC. I messaged you on facebook under Z. Andrassy name. I can show you how I mounted the mamba ESC.
Strange question, but which pack did you buy for the screws? I’m in Australia too and all the recommended packs are overseas. Cheers
Love the mods and video.
Where is the second half with 2200Kv and bash session???
Hi Matthew nice job on the max I want to get the max can I change the controller to a stick controller that is a Futaba and still have all the features especially the self riding as I am in a wheelchair look forward to hearing from you. thanks Michael
My dream Maxx:
Maxx v2, Raiden racing battery strap, steel cvd's, aluminum steering knuckles, Traxxas 500 servo and a custom truggy body I designed for my Maxx v1.
Nice dude! They'll be really good! I want to do the v2 conversion
That is one expensive Maxx!!!!! Hello buddy!👋👋👋
Oh yeah!!
Hey Rob, how are you?
I have Ben good buddy. Same ole, same ole. lol. It's official matt, I got rid of all bashers and race cars. Crawlers OLNY now. I'm having way more fun.
Am building a hsp buggy and turnbing it brushless and adding some aluminium parts to it I just want to know if it’s a good idea
That's awesome dude!
Hey man! I have the same motor but the original Traxxas mount doesn’t fit because the motor’s diameter is bigger. How did you mount the motor to your Traxxas? Please help, thanks!
Where did you get the silver screws
I have the same motor in mine(stock spur size and 21t pinion) ended up blowing a cap on the max 8. Then switched to the max 6 and it was way more stable. Nice rig! 💯
Oh wow dude! I hope that doesn't happen, I've got the 2200kv coming, hopefully that will be better on the esc
@@MatthewSimm should I go with the 2200 combo for the maxx? Thinking of running stock gearing on 4s with occasional 6s but mostly 4 and up the gearing a bit since the max 8 could probably take it
I run my widemaxx on the 2200 kv amd the max six some how holds up on punch five with slicks on too 🤣 things insane I do thing the max8 esc is axe though I had that prior to this one amd blew it uo bashing through real muddy puddles aggressively I've just bought a big red 400 traxxas servo wishing I got the savox black edition though but ah well this one should be torquey and speedy enough from what I've seen on others trucks I've gone vitavon adapter bellcrank and horn but debating going any further with the vitavon maybe wheel hubs but I'm not looking to add much more weight what you guys think?
Hey buddy how did you mount the esc?
@@thomasmanders255 the hobbywing max 6 is almost the same footprint as the stock esc so it fits great. Then to secure it I cut a piece of lexan to screw down underneath so the double sided tape will have a better surface to stick to instead of the honeycomb plastic that is there. The double sided the bottom and sat it in place. Over 2 years of bashing it has never came off!
I run the hobbywing 2200kv in my maxx through a vxl6s esc on 6s. So i have a heatsink and dual 21000rpm fans on the motor and even with long 27/46 gearing the hottest ive seen the motor get is 94°c . When you let it rest for say 30 seconds running, the fans cool it down pretty quick. Theyre amped rc 45mm fans on a cheap china heatsink.
Your running 2 45mm fans??? Do you have a link of the heat sink that holds them?
Hola amigo,que coche me recomiendas que no sea muy caro,un saludo
Matthew i would weigh your plastic pull off parts compared to the alloy upgrades so you can get an accurate estimate of how much weight you are adding to the maxx, i hopw you refreshed the diff fluids or adjusted them some, those upgrades do look great on the maxx so really hope it holds up for you, that motor should make a huge difference especially with the max8, and awesome tire choice, i want a set for my hobao sste
Yeah I should have compared the difference, I can tell it's heavier, but it still feel really nimble like the maxx should
@@MatthewSimm thats good
Nice build Do yourself a favor and replace the shock oil 50 in the front 70 in the rear You will thank me later Far as tightening the shocks goes 8 turns on the front And 15 turns in the back It will not bottom out anymore
Surprised you didn't grab the aluminum hingepin retainers gor the front and rear
What would you recommend for me xmaxx or maxx
Is it an issue that the shocks on the Maxx connect right into the bulkhead? On the Rustler the towers are super cheap to replace but if something cracks on that top connection, it seems like you'd have to replace the entire bulkhead! Am I wrong about that?
Just looked up the parts - looks like the bulkhead is split into upper and lower. And the upper is $5. So not nearly as bad as I thought.
I wish I was able to work on my rc cars im not to mechanically inclined I just have a couple haiboxing their fun the ones u got are just to expensive for me maybe one day lol love the videos
I was using a castle 1515 Motor with 2200Kv in my Maxx, the Motor was glowing hot…Only used 4s LiPo. I assume it has to do with the efficiency rate and the timing. Long story short, i have reinstalled the old stock motor again, works like a charm!
That's really weird bro because I out the hobbywing 2200kv in it on 4s and it gets a bit hot too
Wow so im really stuck on rather what i planed will even work, i got a kaiju and aside from being happy with 4s i was planning on going from stock 4268 2100kv to a 4274 or 4278 2200 kv figuring extra length and 100kv more would give me lil extra power with same voltage but with what problems im seeing kinda confused on how its possible for these motors to have heat issues looks like its either 6s or max6 motor if gonna upgrade 🤔
Where do you go to bash in Australia?
You have some great areas…got a few good spots on the Goldy but struggle to find big open dirt areas.
Loving the Channel bro! 🤙
Might be overgeared. I know o.g badlands are light, but they are a tad taller than the stock tires. And the extra kv/rpm from the motor so might need a smaller pinion. I had 22/50 and same tires. And now the 2200kv cc motor 6s and 20/54 if I recall correctly.
Did u use locktight on the screws in the new aluminium bits?
The maxx sure looks nice now, mine is battered like hell lol. Nice videos btw, I'm a early sub👍
Hey dude! You have some good points, I'll be definitely trying the 2200kv instead and the screws come with blue loctite installed already 😀
Nice, the longer 2200kv motor definitely stays cool on 4s, but I had heating issues on 6s, ended up with lower gearing 20/54 and a cc fan on the motor and haven't had any issues since👍
When’s the install for the 1885 coming. I installed mine but I want to double check off you.
Hey that's awesome dude, unfortunately it'll be a few weeks as my xmaxx is in pieces. Send me a photo through email and or instagram and I'll check it out for you bro
Hey Mathew any chance you could link the eBay details of the hardware bolts you used?
Hey dude, I got them locally but they are zinc coated 12.9 hardness Socket cap screws. Hard to find all the correct lengths so you may have to cut some down
@@MatthewSimm thanks 🙏
What air compressor do you use mate?
I don't know the model, but the brand is a Black Ridge from supercheap in Aus. maybe 180lm but any compressor should work fine! I thought about the small silent compressors! That'll probably be my next one haha
I love it! You really done a good job editing especially the wrenching scene. I would also suggest the 2200kv motor it stays cooler and you can gear up if its too slow. 6:33 you got a little crack in your chassis
Thank you Anton! I'm glad you liked it and the 2200kv is already on order, hopefully the latest fixes the issues.
Yeah I seen that! I need to order a new one, I forgot haha tha ks for the reminder!
We’d to seed speed differences from stock
Man it's the Elle McPherson of maxx's those anodised parts bro I wanted one bad before after seeing that dammmm 👍👊💯
You should totally get ine bro! But I know you're more into crawling, I've heard you have something new in the works 😉
Absolutely got another new project underway got some very exciting stuff coming on the channel definitely worth tuning in for bro
Badlands are the best tire from the maxx hands down. (For jumping )
They're pretty good!
The CNHL LIPOS 4s 9500 is good for x-maxx please help me
As long as it fits, it'll be good, just check the dimensions online or watch a video on TH-cam
Gotta get them wheels for my hpi trophy truggy flux wow just wow
They seem really nice! I've heard the arrma backflips are good too!
You got no Hest sink or fan control mate would help massively but personally cor what you want I'd 6s convert and go 2200 20 54 gearing alter your diff oils to suit your driving style and go for it
just finished watching but man like i wish i was you, the build am doing is only 3s isnt bad but 4s would be best
Sometimes 4s can be too fast depending in the rc car 😀
Hey. What replacement screws set did you use for the upgrades?
Just google local fastner suppliers and choose what you need. Use the user manual for screw specs (traxxas gave some priority screws that can't be copied 😞 )
@@MatthewSimm cool thanks. i hate getting shafted for things just because they are "hobby" related.
@@voodoomutt happy to help dude
Where did you get the screw kit from?
Look up cap head screw manufacturers. I did that and ordered from an Australian warehouse. Use the traxxas manual to find the screw sizes needed, some are traxxas proprietary screws so just get as close as you can and grind them down etc..
@@MatthewSimm Thank you!!
22/50 and NHX dual fans would have kept it cool. 4 teeth on a spur equals 2 teeth on the pinion if that makes sense.
Can't wait to see how it goes I went with vitavon parts for mine all metal use to have the Maxx 8 with 2200 kV but in snow when really on it esc cuts out so wondering how the 2600 kV will do I actually switched to castle mamba monster x with Holmes hobbies 4274 1900kv punchy seemed like it needed it cause of the weight when go all metal had heat issues so hoping 1900 kV and castle fixes it fingers crossed love the vids to man keep up the good work
I've have ordered the 2200kv, hopefully it doesn't cut out haha, video soon
@@MatthewSimm aslong as don't run the duratrax 3.8 for the erevo should be fine I went for the lower kV just so I could run giant tires in the snow
cool cat!
Haha thanks Bret 😊
seems like them high kv motors dont like the weight. not enough torque i think.
Do those tires Ballon a lot.
2200Kv, doesnt that mean slower? Or am i missing something?🤔
I'm kinda looking at making a maxx princess already have a xmaxx for destroying
4:11 i got the same wheels/tyres all 4 tyres came unglued within 3 runs on my arrma talion running on 4s, ive since reglued them and they seem to be fine but was expecting better from proline
Transport delays, things are stuck in hot containers on ships a very long time, and the heat affects glues and plastics. A lot of plastics get brittle, and glue gets too inflexible. (My theory based on long experience working with ocean transport and current issues with supply chain and also experiencing a lot of changes in how plastic behaves)
@@andrimnerofsweden2615 yeah maybe, the most annoying thing about these wheels is that they dont come with the zero offset adaptors, they are sold separately and only come as an alloy part for another $80, im currently running a different set of all plastic wheels with no problems
@@harlyquin Last time i waited this long for an answer I ended up getting married.
@@andrimnerofsweden2615 lol, i only just got the notification from youtube, i know its pretty irrelevant now but i had nothing else to do
@@harlyquin That’s pretty much what my wife said too
I don't see much fun in having the front end come off the ground all the time as you lose steering. Every time you accelerated the car lifted.
24/46 and that motor. Slap a fan on it will help. But yea 2200 all day.
Even stock gearing with a fan and it gets pretty hot, wouldn't want to run it any hotter that's for sure haha
@@MatthewSimm true. Experimenting is the fun part. Love the vids man.
Temp problem could be fixed with gearing. You dropped 4 teeth on your spur, so if you drop 2 or 3 teeth on your pinion you should be golden.
I have 3.8 talon ext's on my widemaxx v1, running 20t/50t on 3s, I can go through the whole battery without getting too warm. I think a 22t pinion would be perfect, but the stock motor mount doesn't line up right.
Well I have gone with the 2200kv I'll be testing it soon haha
If you dropped teeth on the spur and it’s causes overheating you may as keep the pinion as is but go back to more teeth on the spur again
More teeth on pinion makes it faster and less teeth on spur means faster so if you decrease the spurs teeth and also increased the pinion than that’s too much stress on the motor
Yep, 2600kv is to much torque for this maxx v1 for get go, it can do easy wheelie with the stock system already, with the upgrade of max 8, 2200kv is better fit, caz this maxx v1 need more high end speed then torque.
Especially with no fan on the motor. 🤔
Unfortunately, I tried a motor fan, it prolonged the temps for a few minutes but I just dint think it's worth keeping the 2600kv in the maxx, I've ordered the 2200kv and will test it soon 😀
I wanna do i build like that I know how but I'm broke cuz ima kid but the car is soooo nice
You can one day dude!
When I was just a kid, I thought the same thing, use those desires to drive you towards your goals mate!
Anyway you could help me with this build. Brand new.
I miss when maxx's parts where clean and new now there worn and oldish
Ok
Nice Build! But please change your music where you were wrenching- isn't that good for enjoying your video Bro ;)
Haha, I'll try change it up dude, it's kinda hard to fit everyone's tastes, I try to go with the flow of the build 😉
mate wish i watched your video before taking my maxx apart and making a mess of it putting them back together. in hindsight i needed that screw set and set of new bearings.. would;ve saved a whole lot of frustration!
ive got the same motor / ESC set up, for gearing ive got 16/54 w/ metal spur gear and 3 fans for the motor with heatsink, works ok for me and never overheats. but i can say with all the steel parts, its at least 6kg heavier than standard maxx
Shoulda've bought a tekno
I'm going to soon dude 😉
2250kv tekin on 4s..I run all day ..
Big fan I wish you could see this comment
Hello 👋
Only a 1000 lol. That’s just the first set up upgrades I guess
Why 2600KV?
1600?
More speed haha, 2200kv seems to be the recommend so I ordered a 2200kv
First
You're legend Toby! 🙌
# Emilygotbeat!!!!!👍 Good job toby!
😀😀
Lol yep 🤣🤪😁👍🏻
I feel like the 2600kv will get too hot… the 2400 stock already gets hot as it is this truck should have a 2200 stock… a 1650 should be the best option for the maxx
I have indeed the 2200kv, the 1650kv hobbywing is way to big
@@MatthewSimm sorry I have a v2 so the 1650 fits with the max6 in mine but it a lil overkill
@@MatthewSimm I didn’t notice you had the original maxx. Cool vids tho man I thoroughly enjoy your content keep up the good work bro👍
Why not cleaning a bit your RC room?🤢
