Phil important information... Traxxas says the tire pressure needs to be 14psi, the servo 1 degree off to the left, motors must be synced up with each other, and the temperature must not be less than 70 degrees F. Also, must be completely flat ground. Wind speed must be 0000.012 mph, The moon must be aligned with the Milky Way while the earth is on the upper orbit of the sun aligned with Mars to hit the advertised 30mph. Hope this helps.
Why can’t people just enjoy the video! It’s a CHRISTMAS EVE ADVENT VIDEO! Why does there always have to be sarcastic whiners! If you don’t like traxxas, then don’t buy it! But have some class!
@@BobPavlow😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@BobPavlowWhy can't people make a hilarious comment without someone whining about it 🤔 It's Christmas, cheer up have a sense of humor and stop being a Grinch.... 😜
You left out the most important part, ya gotta hold your mouth just right 😁 it's all in how you hold your mouth 😂
Still might not help lmao 😂
Man the first gen Emaxx was a blast. I did so many 1-2 shifts at wide open throttle and the transmission never broke, even though you definitely weren't supposed to do that. It's also a throwback to an era when Traxxas wasn't such an evil behemoth and you could enjoy their products guilt-free.
I still have that E-MAXX in my closet. I also drove every pack full throttle upshifting (and some downshifting) like it was meant to do it. It never showed any signs of wear from it. I did however blow off the plastic shock caps occasionally from jumping a bit too high. I had to clean up shock oil a few times.🤣
Oh stop whining you little baby. Traxxas acts like a corporation because, guess what? It’s a corporation! That’s no reason to criticize their products or treat people who buy their products like they have the plague (believe me, I’ve seen people doing that).
I had the first Gen bought in 2000. Drove it for years, rarely broke! I sold it to a guy that wanted it for his child. I still have the original body. Pains me to see you took it to the Skatepark 😢 Anyway enough crying here! Merry Christmas Tomley to you and your family!!! 🎄🎁
I have one of the old original 3906 E-MAXXes I break it out once in a while and run it it's a pretty fun old truck especially when you run it on lipos . Lipos definitely Wake it up and make it a totally different truck than running nimh batteries. I've really been enjoying the whole Advent calendar series, keep up the good work and have a Merry Christmas 🎄
Some say that the Clodbuster is so powerful, when you push the throttle on a Clodbuster, it doesn't travel forwards, it actually pushes the world backwards, all we know is that it's called the Clodbuster
Merry Christmas
Just pulled my dad's first Jen emaxx out of the loft yesterday and it brought back so many good memories!! Also found my losi 8 t that I tried to convert to electricity as a kid. Now it's a bit more money and patience I can finally finish what I started all those years ago. Wouldn't be doing this without finding this channel so thanks!
Back when Traxxas were the top dog IMO. I remember my Nan buying me the Emaxx 3906 in 2000, at the time I had a TL-01 with a 27t P2k Motor. Then the Emaxx came along and it was like Alien Technology compared to the TL-01. Shame the hobby is so “fast” now. This video proved a 25mph truck is just as fun and capable in the real world as 60mph 6S Monster. Merry Christmas Phil & Family
Almost as fun at least. For the money, you can get something that makes short work of that dirt track. Great beginners truck.
I remember Christmas '02 when I got the first gen e-maxx. Still the best Christmas ever. It was nowhere near as nice as this one. Single brushed Titan motor with a very early gen ESC, right after mechanical speed controllers were on the way out. HPI Savage came out shortly after and I was jealous of my friends.
Not the E-MAXX but my Ravage got a good, but dirty, run out today. Such a great little truck, and my first rc car in 20 years! How things have come on is insane.
Nice! Such a great little Basher
Wow, that brings back memories. I still have brand new spinner wheels i never installed, spinner bling were the thing back in 2010 😮
I remember these coming out and me just thinking “man one day” now we’re doing 70 out the box. I can only imagine what my kids RCS are going to do.💯❤️🤙…merry Christmas everyone!💥💥
Yes, crazy how far the hobby’s come in the last 10yrs
I use that "junk transmitter" on a Team Associated RB10 at my local racetrack. And has much better range and ergonomics than the stock one on most RTR cars. Also the batteries last longer, not as long as in a KT231 P+ but they last a lot. The KoPropo EX Next is exclusively for my MP10 TKI 3.
Although it may seem strange, having already almost 400 different models, I only use 37 transmitters some of them 27-48 Mhz. 39 years in this hobby makes one accumulate too many things... Not to mention boxes, spare parts, tools, batteries, chargers, etc. You know that already.
I have this E-MAXX in my closet, still like new. What memories!
EDIT: My E-MAXX is older, it has the 14.4v esc.
I just got the older 14.4v version for free from a neighbor cleaning out their basement. Just need a radio (TQ radio, tq 3.3 radio?) and 2 batteries (7.2v 6-cell nicad or nimh?) and a peak charger. Can't wait!
Taiyo and nikko had twin motors in the 80s rtr!
It was a very cool truck when they came out but super fragile even going 25 miles an hour and when people started doing brushless systems and then they just broke to bits.. Full RPM upgrades and a few other tweaks and it's a solid platform tho
That was a great buy for u Phil. And thank u for adding it to the calendar. Man rcs have changed so much, but the was still a bad ass truck. Given that it's older than me.
I have my 3906 emaxx and can’t find the 2speed transmission parts. For like 2 years now!!! Man I want it fixed. I have maybe 50 RCs and like to keep em all in rtr condition and run the older ones sometimes for the nostalgia.
That broken shock tower brings back a lot of memories for me
17 years later and the towers 𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐋 break..
Modelsport are so good! I ordered a quantum rx flux on 22nd December at 1:45pm and it arrived next day (saturday) 9am...faster than amazon and good prices, i was impressed !
Yep, I use Modelsport quite a lot. But I do use shops that I can drive to if I can. And I'll be nipping up to Rochester RC from the Hastings area where I'm visiting rellys. Rochester RC have Yeah Racing upgrades for Tamiya chasses. CC-01 suspension upgrade kit is waiting for me to collect it! 😁
What the heck? That's basically 2 trucks in 1, Phil! 😂
Fantastic bashing as always!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Aww man that thing looks so good! I dreamed about one of these back in the days.
its a really nice car, had the T-maxx the biggest weck point on this cars are the skidplate both front and rear. They always broke back in the days specilly when they use to race monster trucks
Mate, last night Pedro from Rochester rc brought one of those Losi pro moto round to mine so we could check it out etc. man it’s so impressive. Sounds like a little jet fighter when u switch it on. Really want one!!! It’s 1/4 and quite heavy too!
Yeah, they are much bigger than I thought. Hoping to get mine out next week
Really enjoyed the video, merry Christmas Phil thanks for all the entertainment this year.
Another great one!! I've tried to make good videos, it's NOT easy, but you make it look so!! All you do is very much appreciated!! Have a very Merry Christmas ‼️👍👍🦾🦾🤘🤘
Merry Christmas guys
i still have my 3903 i put the 4s system from the new MAXX into it.
3s is good, 4s snapped center axel first go. ordered the 5151r i think steel center driveshafts and i also ordered hardened front differentials from GPM bc i think those went also😂
i love this truck tho
Merry Christmas from Australia, hope you and your family have a wonderful day
Floats like a 🦋 👍
sounds like a DEEWAALTT! drill flying thru the air!!!
Cleetus McFarland just gave his entire staff a losi promoto mx. I want to say like 16 people. Each one got a Traeger pellet smoker too. Spendy.
That's nice..and?
@@blitzrc4713 I was sharing that story in reference to the Losi bike Phil featured in this video. It's nice to see the RC hobby being spread to so many people in such a generous way. I'm not sure why you're being negative.
@@Mr.NiceGuy80 take it how you want mate merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Yes was funny seeing them all driving around haha.
Merry Christmas
The emaxx should have never gone 6s brushless. This is awesome and brings back good memories
I even made sway bars front end rear using wpl suspation links. And the throtle linchang from the nirto set up.
Thanks for these vids and Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
You missing something where's your wheelie bars. Mine came with wheelie bars. Idk what version I have but mine could do backflips
todays xmas for me, hope uk has a good xmas
Merry Christmas Mate from Tasmania. PS more HPI
Months ago, that bike sparked something in me so i ordered mine from Canada a week later changed the ESC and made it 3s
Looks better then the newer stuff
Can't you still buy an EMAX? I know there's a couple of camera rigs that is basically a camera mount on top of one
The truck just about has double of everything lol. I'm surprised it doesn't have 8 wheels.
Nope not the first to come twin brushed 550 motors. Plenty of retro monster trucks came with twin 540 and 550 motors. Like the clodbuster back in the 80s and 90s.
It is a 1/8th scale like the nitro version the tmax,great trucks though
Had the t maxx which I thought was the biss at the time, I do have another one coming and wondered if you know how easy it would be to change to brushless?
I use to race my T Maxx in the monster truck class in 2001 before truggies took over that was so awesome broke a lot of parts
I just got the arrma granite. 4x4 brushed great truck
Man what a classic. My buddeah has one he converted to 6S single motor it has stupid power.
Nice!
I would use low gear to climb so big rock
Are u doing one on Christmas!? You savage!
Cool.videos im looking forward to Christmas day video!!!!
I had a traxxas s max nitro I think it's called that you should try rd models in chesterfield they are good
What happened to the e-maxx why did traxxas take this truck off the shelf??
This was my first car and I wish I could find another.
Is the ESC in Training mode
No, it’s even slower in training mode haha
😂I love Traxxas..fan boy here send that shit big dawg....
On the 24th day of Christmas Santa 🎅🎅 dude gave to me. An og e-maxx ❤ rc now to buy $5000 in unlimited engineering hopups loo
Seems really underpowered for the two motor version. I'm sadly underwhelmed with this one. I was really hoping that it was a bit more like a modern day car. I honestly thought that it was a whole lot better back when it was released. It was on the covers of the rc mags. Who would have thought
Thank you for doing the e maxx I love the truck I've had many of them I didnt bash I drive it moderately but so fun thank you for doing the Christmas special 25 days i loved it and got the mjx because of ur review and am getting the fms colorado asap thanks again and have a merry Christmas
Low gear maybe for a hill climb
Awesome vids!!
Happy Xmas eve Phil. This is pretty cool. How did u find it, was it just for sale on their website?
Merry Xmaxx, I mean Xmas..
Was Traxxas lying on the box? Now that's funny.
Looks good for a Traxass. Takes some skill to make them look fun
Haha
I got lucky and bought the br7shless version from a cool guy for 50 bucks
If I ever get another nitro it will be the 3.3 T maxx
The original owner is watching the skatepark bashing like 😢. That thing was definitely a shelf queen.
Lol… nah, I’m sure he’ll approve.
Probably had value
@@dieseldabz7104it’s much more valuable to be able to even own one of these rn
killed me watching this. Someone saved it all them years and just to watch it get ruined :(
@@Dabber422 it’s not ruined. It’s all fixed and looking ‘almost’ like new again 😅
Had an EMaxx and loved it at the time! I put nearly every hop-up available at the time and must have had $1500 in it. I got out of the hobby before brushless motors and LiPo batteries hit the market but got back into it at the start of the pandemic. What’s available now blew my mind comparatively
you CAN run it on lipo but the esc isnt made with protection circuits so care must be taken when using lipo. there is no cutoff so a monitor for the battery is needed.
Great video, Phil! I’ve enjoyed all your advent videos! You worked very hard on these and most of us understand and appreciate that! It’ll be sad when this ends tomorrow! Merry Christmas Eve, Phil!
Thanks mate, Merry Christmas
we appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos!
Thanks John
2 Traxxas videos in 3 days!? That’s it… I’m unsubscribing 😂😂😂
He’s a fanboy! We’ve lost him 😢 lol
Pray for me 😅🙏
I don't care about bashing but I love an EMAXX
This was my first rc since childhood back in 2006! Upgraded to Kershaw motors and I thought I was blazing @ 20/23 mph!! I loved it
Haha.. things have got out of control since brushless motors have been more affordable
Some say that the Clodbuster is so powerful that when you push the throttle, it doesn't travel forwards,it actually pushes the world backwards, all we know is that it's called the Clodbuster.
Haha
it's taken me 24 days to realise but you missed a trick you could have put the days RC vehical (duck) back into the empty space witha little card to show which day it was. ehh but small things (thats what she said :( ).
❤nostalgisch rc car ❤
the first gear comes in handy when your crawling with it! it has waaay more torque then
Yes… although the Summit was about at the same time as this
Nobody used these as crawlers
It was amazing you found a classic truck in such pristine condition. It jumps so well. I remember seeing them for the first time in the hobby shop. People were stunned. Thanks for bring back some r/c history. I enjoyed seeing it run.
Woohoo day 24. Poor Emaxx hahaha doing what it was built to do. How dare you Phil 😂. Great Video
Haha
Love this vid! I had an original .15 T-Maxx that I traded for an original E-maxx that I then traded in at a hobby shop to get the all “powerful” 2.5 T-Maxx. Still have it today but would love to get an Emaxx again.
My 1st ever RC was a Tmaxx Nitro with upgraded motor and loved it more than anything as was a gift from my late brother who passed away few yrs ago now from liver failure. It was stolen and was 𝙉𝙀𝙑𝙀𝙍 able to afford to replace it. So I watch videos like these hoping to someday but another Traxxas but electric 🤞
I would of been well pissed if I bought that back In the day and it went 24 mph I mean these toys are a thousand pound chuck in the electronics and sundries chargers and double a’s it’s ridiculously price hobby for a normal man
Back then it was fast. I bought my own t-maxx when I was 13 and it top of line and gathered a crowd. A cheap brushless anything would crush it nowadays.
Still loving the RC Advent calendar 👍🎅Almost there! Massive effort Phil & you're in great shape for being such a dedicated professional hobbyist! 💯🤓
Cheers
Yep, did someone notice the strange alien circle in the sky at 14:55 ??! (and may find an explanation...)
I saw that trail in the sky and came to the comments to see if anyone noticed. I didn't immediately jump to aliens, just thought what a weird flight path that plane has taken. It looks too tight of a turn for a commercial jumbo jet.
Thanks, let's see if anyone will have any clue ... or any cloud ..!
We have the Red Arrows (RAF Acrobatics team) based just down the road and they practice when the weathers good. So it’s the smoke trail from them doing a loop 👍
It’s like having an Airshow every week lol
Thank you so much@@TomleyRC, I'll be able to sleep well tonight even you've just broke my dreams with this pragmatic answer. Blague à part, c'est l'occasion pour moi de vous remercier pour la qualité du contenu que vous réalisez et pour vos montages vidéos. Oui, je suis français et je sais apprécier la qualité anglaise ! Joyeuses fêtes à vous et votre famille.
They don’t make that E-Maxx no more discontinued, Replace by Traxxas Maxx in 2019. 2019 E-Maxx tsm was the last one they made. I remember that E-Maxx and they still have parts for it
My first nitro was a TMaxx, We had a TMaxx class at King RC in King NC back in 2000 - 2001, I put a 21 size Picco motor in mine and made some custom shock towers to lower the suspension, I won several trophies with that truck, Sadly it was stolen along with well over 5 grand in RCs and another 2 - 3 grand in music equipment, I hate a fricn thief with a passion.....🤬
Takes me back to my t-maxx 2.5 (grey head) days... shock towers, chassis rails and bulkheads made of glass. RPM makes bulkheads now, they made towers/arms back then, but not bulkheads.
That was a disappointing 🎄 eve😮
Haha
Nice never seen one before criminal to wreck it with your bad driving on a skate park though!! lol oh well merry Xmas loved the vids every day 🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼
6:05 that kinda hurt, but it was expected once you said maybe a few "light" jumps 😂
I remember saving up for so long and buying the first generation green emax. Charging up for what seemed to be days. Went out on the first run ran in a bit of wet grass and killed the truck in bout 4 minutes lol its truly one of the only trap as they should have just kept making it had a fun factor that’s missing from some mt trucks they offer now
Fantastic video Phil have a merry Christmas and Happy New year to your family and us all 😊😊
Those are Revo 3.3 wheels. Definitely not Sledgehammers. Some of the best old wheels ever made. 👊😎
where's today's video?? 45min long u said Xmas day??
You can make that go 116mph but you have to change motor and esc to modify it
Absolute quality this Christmas RC Calendar Phil, massive praise to you i personally haven't seen any one do one 👊👍🥃 Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you and your family thanks for another great year of content 👊👍🥃
Great video, you put a lot of hard work in on creating this wonderful content . I really appreciate what you do Phil🤘Merry Christmas 🎄
Thanks mate. Appreciate it
I think thats the best rc car lol its so cool how they can have 2 rc cars in one i would see about being able to change both the high and low gear up on the high and gear even further down for the low so it can speed and crawl
Dude, I’m lovin yer choices and the creativity! Merry Christmas 👍
