You don't have to explain your spending for the wide kit for the color. We get it I did the same thing to get the blue..LOL We all love matching and changing colors. I like the white a lot it looks awesome but I figured after a couple runs it would not look as good so I went blue. The truck runs and looks great. I am working on the Sledge right now but I I will be upgrading the motor and ESC on the Maxx soon I love that truck. I have the V2 for like 6 months and have not broke anything but the plastic spur trying to self right it. Did hobby wing replace your G2 ? I been wondering if they took carte of it ?
It does look really good Jason! Maxx runs really nice on 5s 🤩
Dude I hope they make white arms for the Sledge I will definitely be buying, lol.
We’re all fellow RC addicts here, no judgment on any of your spending!
Try the proline shocks for it, and different tires. A lot of the proline tires are either too big on 3.8, but I just ordered the Method RC for the Kraton 6s that I want to try on it. I am hoping that will be the sweet spot.
Does arrma tyres fit on trax hex???
“A truck that you dread to work on”… UDR!!! Btw, don’t ever drive in clay because the arms will never go back to white.
I have thought of that. I run a lot on grass. So I can only imagine what these are going to look like after a few runs.
If you want the color to match, why not buy a can of spray for 5 dollars instead of spending 100? Lol
Nice I see you got the shock screw hole wrong the #1 is for. Off road bashing #2 is for hard surface.
Just bought a extreme HD kit for my slash in green be nice if they made it for the maxx
Nice little bash before the install. Love the white and blue. Looks wicked kid! 👊🏼
So u are running with a 5s in video? Its fucking fast!!!!!! I guess 6 s does not make sense!!!
I just blasted the entire front bulkhead and lower control arm mounts off my new maxx. I’ve only had it a week. 😭
Only way to drive a Maxx is with 25/46 gearing and drive it to the limit.
Looking really good with the white arms!👍💯
That’s a sharp looking RC. 👏🏼👏🏼
Gear down with the xmaxx spur gear revo size badlands tires xmaxx steering servo hot raceing servo saver lock the rear with 20 mil center 20 mil castle 2200 with a esc No wheelie bar aluminum rear bumper. The most overbuilt rc I think could win the longest hydroplane
Any body having binding issues in the front when turning? Just installed the shafts on my V2 and when turning right it seems to jerk a little like it’s binding on something
I haven’t, but I’ll update if I do.
Not sure if this helps, but i fixed mine following this video th-cam.com/video/sLx2lADuL3c/w-d-xo.html
No doubt it needs shock oil and adjustments, comes with 30 oil from the factory, needs at least 60.
Question- was it an accident or did you purposely connect the bottom of the left front shock to the hole on the A arm that’s closer to the diff? All the other shocks, front right included, the bottom of the shocks are screwed to the outer hole closest to the wheels on the lower A arms.
I was thinking about blue and white and now I might get me a maxx already got the big brother xmaxx and rnr body
finally got one an been driving it for a month or more, but broke a drive shaft.
How did you get 5s ? Two batteries?
Single 5s pack.
All your fancy colors do not make it faster of not break. And those metal parts do bend!
Hey, i m just thinking about a new combo for my Maxx (Max 8 G2 or Max6). Which one would u recommend? Greetings from Austria
Maxx 8 would be more than plenty
I only ran my new max8 esc three times in my maxx v2 with the stock motor before it smoked on me, don't know if it came from running 26/46 gearing too long because the capacitors was busted 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
on 6s?
@@craiglamb9029 yeah on 6s
@@jrollj oh yea, she was geared up up.
I would do 20/54 or 18/54, Good for 65mph on stock motor, 6s.
@@craiglamb9029 I am definitely going to gear down, do you know if I can replace the capacitors, can't find the size or nothing online on the max 8 🤔
@@jrollj generally you can replace caps. But I've never done it on these waterproof types. Of escs.. The boards are usually are encased in solid plastic or epoxy dipped which would make it a pain in that a** to work on without doing additional damage. Usually the microfarad rating or μF is usually on the wrapper of the capacitor along with a voltage. Might say "400μF 60v". Look closely at the capacitor, you might be able to see the numbers
Hey buddy how did you mount your esc?
I’ve been running the Traxxas aluminum carriers on all corners for a yr with no breaks. Go for it
What are "carriers" ? Tnx!!!
Nice I like the upgrade parts simply for the colour it looks great. This V2 Maxx really is a nice truck to have. I’m stuck in a dilemma. The local hobby shop has these trucks, but they also have the V1 Maxx on a sale/clear out price. It is 150 less then regular what they sold for, and 200 less then the V2 Maxx. 🇨🇦 dollars. I’m just wondering if I bought the V1 if I widemaxx it etc will I spend almost the cost of the updates on the V2.
imo, the v2 is a worth it upgrade. The longer chassis is a great improvement.
@@JasonPerrinRCVlogs ya it’s probably worth the bit of extra dough 💰
The Maxx should have been 6s out of the box
Nice, were you able use same pin and hole on the motor mount . I put max 8 in mine also , I didn't know the max 8 could run 5s , I alway thought that be the sweet spot for alot of my rcs .
Who sells the hexes for the Maxx. I couldn't find any information
Some nice white lettering tires 👌 I usually keep my trucks nice too but I really neglected and used the heck out 9f the Maxx. I'm cleaning up rebuilding now .
Nice Maxx
Not everyone hates working on their trucks, I enjoy it just as much if not more than driving… also your going to want the hardened pins because the screws will back out, and most anodizing is nearly the same
Oh man. Not even close. Companies have their own ways of doing things. Some are close, but some times blues are more purple, reds are lighter or darker, etc.
As for the pins… yes. They’ll be coming at some point.
Traxxas makes junk
In my opinion hpi takes the crown on shit cars over traxxas
