Great install video! Couple things to note for people. It comes with "everything" set screws, bigger cross pins, the jig for stock wheels, Allen wrench, drill bit, new sure lock wheel nuts. If you get the 24mm hex it fits Arrma tires and a few mm longer thread to fit duratrax aka duratrash tires a bit better since their offset is different. That's ALOT of stuff! Not to mention it's all 7075! Yes I know this comment sounds like a commercial 🤣 I'm just blown away by the innovation in this one 🤩
I was waiting on getting the center brace for the release of these. Got them both on order Thursday. Looking forward to getting them in! Thanks for the videos and the testing! FYI, On the video from M2C they were very clear on when drilling out the stock hexes to only drill one side at a time, not all the way through. Hurricane
Here always man beautiful parts I just ordered the center brace,then I going whit that,hey by the way remember I told u I'm in for when u decided to do another give away.God bless you and yours man
Ran these 3 times and I broke it 2 out of 3 lol. The stub axles are strong but the truck not so much , hubs, a-arms, caster blocks ect. It looks so much better now with a wider stance. And it handles much better. So I’m gonna keep running then and hopefully I stop breaking stuff. 🤞
I think that I'm going to get this. The stock axle ends fall apart with time and are hard to remove because I run a Max 5 and 1100kv 5687 motor with 25/35 gearing on my X-Maxx. Good stuff!
Man those look good! I got some off brand (bas) 10mm stub axles and they look real good to me! Got one run on them today for a real light test run in the snow and it feels good. I don't like that u have to buy the extra hexes in the m2c stubs or run a pin on the stock hex but they do look nice!
Hey I have a small request...can you see if the arrma 8s hex hubs fit the m2c new parts i just can't see paying $55 for them when I can get the arrma ones for $10
@@BarstoneRC ok ... do you User the 24mm hex Adapter? I Use mine with the original traxxas wheels ...but have the 24 mm hexadapter ordered ... maybe with the adapter it doesn t wobble ?
I noticed that the pin on the inside of the block is exposed...what keeps it from falling out,,,seems to me it should go in farther to capture the pin from sliding out,,,,I just ordered this product,,can’t wait till it gets here....great videos...never miss a one,,,thanks🇺🇸👈🚘
@Bars&tone RC yeah i agree with you there especially if your not running stock motor and esc like me I have the max5 with 800kv motor tons of low end torque I blow through tires very fast if there not well made
@@BarstoneRC I’m trying out the Proline MX57’s on the Xmaxx. 🤞🏼We spend more time on grass so the proline masher x on the raid wheels didn’t work here for most my friends. The MX43 is the go to around here for the Losi DBXLE 2.0, K8 and O8, and Xmaxx. The MX57 on raid wheels will be nearly 1lb less for the set of 4. Hurricane
Be careful you don’t lose the wheel nuts,,because the original TRAXXAS wheel nuts won’t fit ,,it has a different thread pattern,,,I have HR wheel nuts,,,they won’t match the threads either,,,I guess we’re stuck with the m2c wheel nuts....unless there is an alternative,,,that I’m not aware of...never miss your videos....thanks....
I just recently discovered that TRX is using course threaded axles and nuts..was thinking they were the same as any other brand of RC..nope. I guess it's all part of the TRX conspiracy..let's make it incompatible with EVERY other brand on the market so those slaves have to buy from US!! LOL! So my question is, are the M2C axles using course or fine threaded nuts? I'm looking to use 8s backflips on my X but sounds like if I don't buy the M2C 24mm hexes separately, I will still need to source the adapter nuts elsewhere? The backflips have an 18mm.Vs TRX 12mm center bore in the wheels? Anyone know for sure what thread M2C is using? Thanks!
@@BarstoneRCinstalled it exactly as your video there is side to side play on the set up more than stock and the pins definitely are exposed more than stock
@@BarstoneRC just seen on another post that you need a washer spacer not sure on the size to stop the side to side play when setting up for the 17mm stock wheels (where you have to drill your piece in the cradle ) apparently when you put the 24 mm adapter on like you have it stops most of the play …just got to find out what size washer I’ve had loads of m2c parts and never had a figment issue ever come about …normally they are tested by the team and m2c make adjustments as it’s quite a easy thing to pick up on installation…..I am also worried about the exposed pins I hope they don’t drop out once I’ve gone through a few packs
Thanks for the awesome install video. You're so good at this stuff! Jelly
Thanks Avery I appreciate it it’s easy to make good videos with awesome products!
If you're staying the factory route and not the 24 mill The threads the same as factory?

Nice installation brother. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thanks bud and thanks for watching
Great parts look beautiful they have done it again
Nice seeing side by side the tested product and the finish product 🤪
Yeah that’s the fun part about testing this stuff is getting to see the final thing and the changes that were made along the way.
Great video man. Love M2C parts.
Very nice set up 💯. You guys knocked it out of the park 👏👏👏. Thank you for great vid mister 👍✌
Thanks for watching but I appreciate it
Ordered mine thanks to you and Rich Duper👍🏾 should be here this week coming. And the brace👍🏾
Nice buddy! Enjoy!!
Just ordered mine today with the chassis bar can’t wait for the center drive shaft to come available
That should also be available very soon.

Thanks speed I appreciate it buddy
Thanks for sharing the info. The m2c stuff looks very well made 💯👍
Thanks for watching bud and yes they make some very nice stuff!!

Excellent info! Just ordered them up👍
Nice u will love them!!

Yeah, the extra width does put a little more torque on things but it does handle a lot better with it.
great vid mate ... love it

They’re great for multiple reasons they’re a little longer than the stock ones they’re made out of better aluminum and you gain the width

Hey I have a small request...can you see if the arrma 8s hex hubs fit the m2c new parts i just can't see paying $55 for them when I can get the arrma ones for $10
They do not and the reason for this is because they had to make the machining such a size to accept the 24 mm or the stock Traxxas 17 mm
@@BarstoneRC it was worth a try lol
Yeah. They wanted people to be able to do that but when the final product was done it couldn’t work with the stock Traxxas hubs.
If you're staying factory and not going 24 mill Are the threads the same as traxxas
Yeah, they’re the same thread
I had to shim this kit ... all wobblin in my xmaxx ... have u had to shim it 2 ?
Have the traxxas oversized bearings.
I did not have to shim it, I’m running stock oversized bearings on the front and the RPM oversized in the rear
@@BarstoneRC ok ... do you User the 24mm hex Adapter?
I Use mine with the original traxxas wheels ...but have the 24 mm hexadapter ordered ... maybe with the adapter it doesn t wobble ?
Yes I’m using the 24 mm adapter to run the wheels I use
Do they work with the RPM hubs with oversized bearings?
Yes they do

The bearing does cover 3/4 of the pin it will not come out.

Pro-Line 1/6 Masher X HP Belted Pre-Mounted Monster Truck Tires (Black) (2) (M2) w/24mm Hex
@@BarstoneRC Thankyou sir,,,,
I have about 1.5mm play when I pull in and out, any ideas?, Im running the upgraded heavy duty traxxas hubs
I have the RPM hubs and there is a tiny bit of play on those. Also, I think it’s kind of normal to be honest.
Are the 24mm adapters still available? I dont see them on their website.
They are still available they might be out of stock at the moment they should be replenishing soon
What proline wheels are the lightest?
To be honest for this car, I haven’t found anything that’s very light
Have you seen the new sledgehammer for the xmaxx?They look nice but I love my power hobby raptor xl tires
I was checking those out I’m curious to see how they will hold up to the bigger power systems?
@Bars&tone RC yeah i agree with you there especially if your not running stock motor and esc like me I have the max5 with 800kv motor tons of low end torque I blow through tires very fast if there not well made

Yeah that’s the same system I have in mine except I changed it out to the 1100 KV motor now
@Bars&tone RC nice I'm thinking of doing the same but was considering going with a tp 1100 I'm not sure yet though gotta get the funds up first haha
Great vid , this is a must see just cause I hate those clips and that will be the reason I buy this today 👍👍👊🏻👊🏻
Yeah it’s really nice you don’t have to use those goofy clips anymore

Yeah they had to use a different size in order to incorporate both 17 or 24 mm hex but they sell just the wheel nut if you ever do lose one.

I’ve just installed these pins are exposed more than I like on all four corners and there is a lot of slop the spacers are too small
Not sure what’s going on with your set up that’s definitely not common?

Awesome bars been waiting on the release of these , just a shame that it will cost me almost double to get to the Uk lol. But great install video 👍🏻
Thanks bud yeah shipping costs really stink.
i would rather keep my rc car shorter because now those arms are going to brake easier
Well there’s a fine balance with width and I think these longer Hub’s are going to work out really well
@@BarstoneRC they will probably never Break considering that it’s m2c racing
Hey buddy how have those held up
Never had any issues with them they worked out great
