    You nailed it bud, I would recommend any new xmaxx owner to watch this. You summed up every necessary upgrade in 20 minutes. It took me about 3 months of reading up and asking questions to get where I'm at which is basically what you just covered. Well done.

    SAD HOW U SAY ITS AN."EXPENSIVE" RC TRUCK only to end up replacing or upgrading every part that matters. Down to the esc. Im a new owner of an 8s xmaxx and not even 5hr total run time and my esc went bad. Into my 3rd set of diff gears both front and back. Spent more for the spiral cut gears that didnt last long. Cant wait for Arrma to get with the large scale band wagon.

    • @Rcstreetshop
      @Rcstreetshop  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, with 5 scale cars everything is very different in terms of how loads, torques etc are applied. Power to weight ratio is different form regular 1/10 scale

      @@Rcstreetshop im finding that out. Also what I just figured out is that its not the components that are bad but rather a design flaw. The engineers got this one wrong and why they havent fixed it is beyond me.

    • @Procrastn8rsUnite2morrow
      @Procrastn8rsUnite2morrow 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      How so you ask? Well, they tuck the heat sensitive esc in a trench surrounded by all this heat source. Behind it is the motor, in front are the metal gears and on both sides are the 4s batteries. All generating enough heat to hurt the esc and eventually causw a short circuit. Untop of that is a body that traps all that heat in. A simple remedy is to lift the esc up a few inches and get cool air circulating around it. Once I did that and my esc works like a dream. No more error codes and play all day long. 🤙🤙

    I don't understand what you are saying at 11:18. It sounds like you said "RPM Uprights"? I know you are talking about bearings shortly thereafter, but I am just slightly confused. Also, I wen't to the RPM site and it says that the bearings are not a replacement for stock Traxxas Axle Carriers. So, does that mean that we need to change that carrier to fit the new bearings? Sorry, I am a newbie and just getting in to the hobby.

    • @Rcstreetshop
      @Rcstreetshop  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, RPM uprights rcstreetshop.com/rpm/6689-rpm-oversized-rear-axle-carriers-traxxas-x-maxx.html
      they come with oversized ball bearing, so you change both with this kit....a must have upgrade

  • @furyrosewood3528
    @furyrosewood3528 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    In addition to your situation, I have noticed if the ESC is used heavily, it can and will thermal shutdown. a solution to that would be to aim two small fans at the ESC to the left and right of it, that cures that problem. Also the Spur and Pinion are inadequate, the pot metal has exploded on me twice under the high speed gear combo. Replace with hardened steel and you will end up with a much more durable drive train. Also have replaced both front and rear diff cases with the aluminum case from the torque biasing center diff. I haven't broken anything in the suspension, but i find the drive train of this truck to be very fragile.

    I approve of the RPM rear knuckles and badlands tires. One thing I would add is HARDENED steel motor gear and spur gears! Espically if you upgrade the motor like i did with the 1460KV TP Motor, Max5 ESC. I personally went with the savox 1210 servo because it has 444oz of power and it’s Savox! I never trust Traxxas.

I was thinking the Hot racing system? But someone said that he installed them and they leaked...the black and blue ones.

    • @Rcstreetshop

      Besides cosmetics, piggy back shocks do not improve handling that much. From our experience it is more cosmetic upgrade...not a performance changer.

    My stock servo is okay too, can turn the tires on carpet no problem, but I will likely buy the steel geared servo and have it on hand for when mine eventually strips.

    Just gotta figure out a way to hide it from the missus...hahaha
    Not many RC's can do 40ft+ jumps and take it well! Deeply impressive and really Hope Traxxas keep this beast going.

My first set they replaced the rear since I sent a pic of about 2-3" without any adhesive noticed as my tire was coming over the bead. I went ahead and bought the second pair. Thought that was fair. Was not gonna ask them to replace them all since the front ones had not come apart yet. And they stayed in the air more. Lol.

    Do you know if they make a tougher alternative for the 7720 part on an 8S? Mine broke and it was a pain in the butt to replace. It seems like that should be a stiffer aluminum piece. And, it’s pretty important for the truck.

    • @Rcstreetshop

      It should be flexing, this is why it was made it out of plastic, aluminum would cause something else to break plus truck will be much heavier (more inertia etc)

    Hello thanks for great video, I just recently got a 8S X-maxx and was wondering if I also need to upgrade the rear hub uprights or are they already better than the 6S X-maxx was stock. I don't jump my X-maxx we race them on a 8 turn off road track. As well, what do I need to buy for the steering system?

    • @Rcstreetshop
      @Rcstreetshop  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As everybody plays differently (speeds, skills etc), we advocate buying/replacing parts only after breaking them. Changing stock steering servo to aftermarket, should address 90% of all steering issues one may have.

    Quick question...has the bearing issue on the inner hubs been resolved on the factory 8s Maxxes? I just got the same one as in your video and inner bearings look pretty beefy. They arent RPM though.

    • @Rcstreetshop
      @Rcstreetshop  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sure, they changed quite a few things on 8S, but we still recommend RPM. Parts are beefy and flex instead of breaking.

    The parts needed for the SRR are 109 c hubs and upper suspension arms. 60-88 spindles. A must. Gpm aluminum servo saver bell crank and aluminum servo saver mount 50, 1/5 servo mount 55, 1/5 scale servo 50-100. Upper link mount 40 and the rear bearing carrier 50+. Then you break the axle housing or lower control arms or front shock tower. All those are limited to one maker running 88 for the cheapest part. So so glade I traded it for an x maxx before I got in the hole.

    @sofghost6663 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would say just tape stock tires,put denser foam inserts if sidewalls are too weak and roll too much, and or strap/wrap your tires in high test fishing line. The stock tires are so much easier on the drivetrain,a arms,steering servo, bulkhead,etc those badlands are so hard on the truck if you are doing extreme bashing.

    • @sofghost6663
      @sofghost6663 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Also on a side note rpm arms arnet really needed just spray the stock arms with wd-40 and let them soak overnight and the wd-40 will seep into the plastic and soften them making them more flexible and prone to breaking just like the rpm arms for a fraction of the price

    Great vid bro! Quick question.. Just recently purchased a couple MaxAmps 4s 9000XL lipos for my 8s. Do you think an esc upgrade like a Max 5 or 6 is needed or is the stock esc capable? Also, what high end charger would you recommend? Would greatly appreciate your feedback.

    • @Rcstreetshop
      @Rcstreetshop  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It depends on how you run it. For most people stock is OK (with extra cooler/ heatsink )...It is possible to damage any ESC with high output batteries. There is no need to get high end charger if your goal is to charge two high performance batteries at a time. Instead of spending $400-500 on a charger, get 2 $100 ones...it be just as good.

    Absolutely replace the radio, esc, and whatever you do don't install the telemetry system. I did and there updates bricked two freaking radios.
    The best hop ups I did was the same Hot racing steering set up and Hot racing differential parts including the HR support plates under the diffs and helical cut diff gears. Never blown a diff since. I also did the badlands tires make a huge difference as well. Unfortunately because of the radio issues I've had , I have no electronics for it for about a year now.

    those badlands will lose you about 3mph at max speed. They're also more likely to cause shit to break on big jumps because they're hard and heavy and transfer more of the shock to the components.
    I'd actually recommend stock tires for seriously heavy bashing, they're super light and super spongey. But badlands are fantastic for more traditional use where you aren't launching the thing 20+ foot in the air.
