not necesarily, in this case the wheels he used are very low offset, so with the hubs it has got the offset just about where the stock ones would be. A major thing he changed that i would say is the culprit the the thicker servo saver spring. it has less giv,e so it puts a lot more strain on the arms and servo.
Have this exact motor and esc/ m2c setup and my xmaxx has honestly never been more reliable. I love the truck all over again you’re going to absolutely love it. I’m running 26 pinion 52 spur with trencher tires. FYI, Sky rc makes a $15 dual fan that with a little trimming fits perfectly on top of the motor and in between the brace
Kevin, I love how you can come up with so many different ideas for videos that have to with the X-maxx. Also you should try to fit the electric raminator motor into the world's longest X-maxx!
Class upgrades there Kevin! I've had a nitro Revo for some time now which is totally stock, and it runs perfectly well. I won't be changing things on it at all. It's good to hear you say how well the XMaxx runs in its standard form, shows how reliable they can be. You two had a ball by the looks of things, and that jump over the climbing frame....jeez, well done for using the throttle a bit to lift the nose. 😎
Awesome stuff Kev 😱!!! That jump over the steel structure was insane 😜. I too was surprised this setup doesn't add that much weight. Loving my M2C'd Green Bertha 😍. Appreciate the mention Brother. 😎💪👊👊
The dog chase was honestly the BEST of the whole video!! I used to do that with my dogs when they were younger. One passed away suddenly after battling heartworms about a year ago, and his sister is still here hopefully for a while longer. But she is already 12 years old and is having problems with her shoulders and hips. Thanks for including that! Made me both happy and sad at the same time!
That is some of the hardest abuse I think I've ever seen beyond someone throwing the car off a 40 story building or a cliff or something. Probs helped by very expert drivers but awesome none the less! Love it. The trees probably take allot of the shock out of the landings though
With this Video, you have now 1303 Videos online! My Birthday is the 13th of March - so it triggered my inner monk so hard that i have to comment this Video. 😊 I love the most of your videos and content! thanks for your inspiriation and the fun you share, this is one of the main reasons that i now have 3 RCs(xmaxx, maxxV2, Sledge) on my own and i startet my old Hobby again After 25 years (when i had a Tamyia fighter buggy in the 90s). Always great fun to watch you when i am done with my bashing! Greetings from south germany ! ! XMAXX IS THE BEST RC CAR !
Kevin...have you considered running larger diameter shocks in your rigs? When i was running 1/8th scale truggies i found bigger diameter shocks helped on jumps and overall dampening.
Awesome bash! love the 1st person flips and jumps , can't believe the gopro stayed on there! nobody does it quite like you brother. thanks for punishing the parts!
Thanks kev! i have an rc car as well, the deerc 9310, which might be the world's best cheap rc car! also help me grow my channel! (i will be making some rc car videos too)
I'm probably sharing too much here, regardless. Kevin reminds me of this brilliant kid I used to know as a kid, he was the son of lawyer so his f'ing toy collection was epic, when I came over to visit, he was intense in how he played. Basically I was an outside observer cause it was all him, I was simply an outlier out of my league. Seemed he took playing to a professional standard. Apparently one day one of his molded soldiers went missing and I was accused, I had no interest in that, nor would I steal from a friend anyhow. That was the last of that, but I always thought that some kids can bring "playing" to a pretty epic level. Passion is a powerful thing.
I've had a larger motor in my X-Maxx for a couple years and it has been almost noting but breaking the drive-train. I am curious to see how yours holds up, best of luck!
LOVE YOUR CONTENT!! Get's my Xmaxx blood flowing every time. I just wish "baby voice guy" could contain the baby voice. It's clear he does that ALL THE TIME. Lol. Regardless, by far my favorite RC channel
The absolute best channel for everything RC! Totally unbiased reviews and Kev puts the vehicle’s through torture..lol If they survive on this channel..then I buy one 👍
Looks like great fun was had by all, or most at least!! Poor little doggie!! Nice you didn't knacker the poor thing too much, on trickle/part throttle. Entertaining video. Thanks. Al.
Dog chases and those epic jumps are so fun to watch I also had dogs chasing my metal tank, they were scared when i shot the tank with that explosion sound 😅 its on my channel also
It's unbelievable how powerful RC are these's day's. Same goes for how durable they are as well. You've gotta take your hat off to the engineer's that design these to be pretty much unbreakable n for a fair price.
Awesome vid, i finally got my Xmaxx at Christmas after watching your videos for months and its an absolute beast, i have done the m2c chassis brace and shock o rings also replaced the hinge pins for the set hinge pins and with thos small upgrades its now a tank. I will eventually change the electronics once the stock ones have broken. Cant wait to see more Xmaxx videos 💪
I got my first Traxxas RC yesterday (E Revo VXL 1/16) i absolutely love it, such a little beast! I absolutely love your channel Kev thank you for providing amazing content
Hey fellow American Talbot fans!!! Do you think we can get Kev to yell “KICK IT!!!” Like the beastie boys instead of “FOOTAGE!” Just one time? I know my crew would jump right out of their chairs screaming “yeah!!!” 🤣🤣😂
not sure which is better..your mate having a "loo review" on the bush, or the little doggy chasing it around. let me know. great job Kev!. upgrades errr..hmm..possible and maybe hold up in the long term. thanks bud for the great video.
hello Kevin, do you know any website where you can download the measurements and dimensions of the bodywork of the Nissan patrol gr y60 at 1:16 or 1:10 scale to be able to print it on a 3D printer?
Extended hubs are going to cause alot more breakages. Thats probably what killed that bellcrank.
Knew this already and this is why I hate extended wheel hubs
Their just as bad is putting wheel spacers on trucks not good at all
Well, he did also put outcast 8s wheels on it making the center point of the wheel in the same location so it shouldnt cause any issues.
not necesarily, in this case the wheels he used are very low offset, so with the hubs it has got the offset just about where the stock ones would be. A major thing he changed that i would say is the culprit the the thicker servo saver spring. it has less giv,e so it puts a lot more strain on the arms and servo.
It was it solid servo saver not the extensions
I got my Xmaxx because of you kev and I just want to say how much I love it, thanks for the inspiration I needed to get one!
Enjoy it!!
Have you had problems with the pinion staying on yet can’t find a way to keep it on
Try using lock tite and a hardened steel pinion, I had the same problem when mine was new, it might just need to be broken in
i did the same
i like RC Truck
This man just comes up with new ideas every time
flkra
true
Thats why he has such a huge fan base !
Super true
Ooohhhhh yeeeaaaaa

Thank you for the info!!! I have been wondering what gearing would be hood all around for a motor like that...
Kevin, I love how you can come up with so many different ideas for videos that have to with the X-maxx. Also you should try to fit the electric raminator motor into the world's longest X-maxx!
Can you imagine that Raminator leccy conversion in that w.l xmaxx?!
I'd like to see a 4 motor, all wheel drive of that too! A motor on each wheel
The worlds longest x-maxx is no more. It's the one with the paddle tyres on it now.
kev should do a video on all 3 raminators when they are ready to go again (since the v3 raminator is broken at the moment)
Class upgrades there Kevin! I've had a nitro Revo for some time now which is totally stock, and it runs perfectly well. I won't be changing things on it at all.

Praying for your doggo!
That X-MAXX is metal gear SOLID!!
LET THE BASHMENT BEGIN!
(yesssssss)
That is some of the hardest abuse I think I've ever seen beyond someone throwing the car off a 40 story building or a cliff or something. Probs helped by very expert drivers but awesome none the less! Love it.
The trees probably take allot of the shock out of the landings though
Ya the driving makes it look good. But these trucks really are this tough.
On tik tok I've seen a dude drive his Maxx off a cliff and it survives somehow 😂
With this Video, you have now 1303 Videos online! My Birthday is the 13th of March - so it triggered my inner monk so hard that i have to comment this Video. 😊

! XMAXX IS THE BEST RC CAR !
The Xmaxx is still my favorite rc by far.
Heavy XMAXX = GAME OVER🔥🔥🔥 GOOD JOB KEV! 👊👍💯🤘🏆🏆🏆
That pupper was the most adorable ever! My pups love to chase the little RCs around.
I’m 41 and I think it’s about time I get a XMaxx.
Kev and the dog both were clearly enjoying the x-maxx to the max 😂
Kevin...have you considered running larger diameter shocks in your rigs? When i was running 1/8th scale truggies i found bigger diameter shocks helped on jumps and overall dampening.
Kevin Talbot you are the absolute GOAT 🐐 of the RC Community, keep it up.
@ 14:40 - Those four clips or so, that x-maxx is zoomin honestly
Awesome bash! love the 1st person flips and jumps , can't believe the gopro stayed on there! nobody does it quite like you brother. thanks for punishing the parts!
Epic parts thanks bro!!
This is this
I've always wondered when I'd see a dog chasing an rc car on this channel and now I have so I'm happy.
Thanks kev! i have an rc car as well, the deerc 9310, which might be the world's best cheap rc car! also help me grow my channel! (i will be making some rc car videos too)
I love RC because from kids to grandpa can bash together.
Personally I feel for the amount of money it costs, basically stock Xmaxxs are more worth it but time will tell!
I'd say max5 esc, better servo, and belted tires after that is just waste
This video is like his older xmaxx videos from 5years ago. Love it
The servo is so strong that bellcrank broke first
TO THE MOOOOON
16:41 YESS haha. Gotta be a distance record!! That was siiiick
That was a really fun vid, good to see Steve in the workshop, and doggo at the end! I love it when you film the dogs chasing the Xmaxx.
Glad you left your original mostly stock. It's a perfect running rig. Never mess with perfection! 👍
well perfect except for....................
at 17:27 you missing the left front lower arm hingepin holder screw ;) Yout best bashing so far I think :D
The onboard footage was really cool! Cute dog! 🤣
X-Maxx insanity! That was a fun watch, Kev!

When Are you doing something about your monster truck??🤔 you are the best RC TH-camr
working on it most days vid maybe couple of weeks
you gotta admit that the jump at 17:48 that was performed by accident looked so cool!
I love when kev uploads and when the vid is 20 mns keep the great work❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've had a larger motor in my X-Maxx for a couple years and it has been almost noting but breaking the drive-train. I am curious to see how yours holds up, best of luck!
100% same motor and max5. But rear diff keeps blowing up
Mine is the same I replaced pinion gears often and replaced rear and front diffs twice
This is a throwback. You and 8s Steve always had great times. More 8s Steve!
The look on the face of 8S, "5:22", when he picked up that ESC was perfection.
I,m still suprised by the fact such large "Skockish" Xmaxx can be an almost indestructable RC car💪 hats off for Traxxas💪
I've been building Rc car's since 82, never too old. Not into bashing, but it's fun to watch other people do it 😂
That dog owner must really love you for exercising her dog. 😁
Kevin the crack is from the Gopro bashing into the chassis from the hard landings and compression into the concrete 👍👍
This guy is always happy. That's the way it should be
LOVE YOUR CONTENT!! Get's my Xmaxx blood flowing every time. I just wish "baby voice guy" could contain the baby voice. It's clear he does that ALL THE TIME. Lol. Regardless, by far my favorite RC channel
I love these dog-chase scenes! Loved the ones with the UDR back a while, love this one.
Kevin always says more weight will brake it faster and he seems to prove his point everytime.
happy to see 8s in the shop again, I feel like its been since the lego car demo derby
The absolute best channel for everything RC!
Totally unbiased reviews and Kev puts the vehicle’s through torture..lol
If they survive on this channel..then I buy one
👍
Hey kev I have been watching your videos for quite a while and I have now 20 rcs because of you thanks for the awesome content
Imagine how hot the motor gets when it’s almost running on a 1/1 ratio gearing
8s Steve is a true legend.
the dog become content for this video in the end 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely smashing video👏👏
Looks like great fun was had by all, or most at least!!
Poor little doggie!! Nice you didn't knacker the poor thing too much, on trickle/part throttle.
Entertaining video. Thanks.
Al.
Dog chases and those epic jumps are so fun to watch
I also had dogs chasing my metal tank, they were scared when i shot the tank with that explosion sound 😅 its on my channel also
Srtevens high pitched voice never cease to make me smile.
We’re loving m2c Xmaxx combo cheers buddy biggest smiles
I’m a kraton guy myself but I sure like the xmaxx I will have to buy one thanks kev you make the hobby so much fun
Wise man says 🕵"If it looks easy it's being done by a proffesional" 👏
You're never to old to have fun. Remember that
This video put the biggest smile on face 🤣🤣🤣
i see you had aloooot of fun! awesome xmaxx is allways fun driving
8s Steve is and always has been my favourite sidekick
This is the best RC channel EVER. PERIOD.
Big salut 🫡 from France 🇫🇷
ViNZ.
I’d love to see you do a video on the Max 4. Great videos mate
It's unbelievable how powerful RC are these's day's. Same goes for how durable they are as well.
You've gotta take your hat off to the engineer's that design these to be pretty much unbreakable n for a fair price.
Awesome vid, i finally got my Xmaxx at Christmas after watching your videos for months and its an absolute beast, i have done the m2c chassis brace and shock o rings also replaced the hinge pins for the set hinge pins and with thos small upgrades its now a tank. I will eventually change the electronics once the stock ones have broken. Cant wait to see more Xmaxx videos 💪
Your stuff is off the wall!
Editing is also great. 👌
Keep it up 👍🤙
Good show man, the build was awsome guys, and the jumps were insane WOW!
That bash was absolutely epic!!
Love all the “send it” content Kev! Beautifully done my friend. 💪🏼
His face at 5:28 looking at that arc welded, I mean soldered 😂, plug is priceless. 😂😂😂
My son and I enjoy building, running and watching some of your builds!
I got my first Traxxas RC yesterday (E Revo VXL 1/16) i absolutely love it, such a little beast! I absolutely love your channel Kev thank you for providing amazing content
I had tons of fun watching those epic sends! so smooth and the upgrades seem to be a new take on xmaxx durability
The best rc is whichever puts the biggest smile on your face, and kev, you had a BIG smile!❤️
ha ha ha 8S Steve destroys his trousers at 18:37
OMG!! That motor is Absolutely MASSIVE!!!!
Holy cow, that steering servo is 5.5 amps @ 8.4 V = 46.2 watts. Crazy!
LOL the dog was having a great time at the end
One of the funniest videos. 😂😂😂
Love the video one of the best videos of the X max that you made
The M2C is brilliant engineered and strengthening the rig in the right places 💪👍👍👍
The hex extensions put more stress on the rest of your linkage I'd imagine, has anyone had issues?
These jumps are on another level man :D ... it was extremely fun to watch.
Haven't been out for a xmaxx bash for ages, you boys have inspired me.
The doggo makes this video that much better!!
The amount of times I have seen these tires on the wrong way!!😂😂🤟🏻
Dogs and rc cars are a perfect match.
Hey fellow American Talbot fans!!! Do you think we can get Kev to yell “KICK IT!!!” Like the beastie boys instead of “FOOTAGE!” Just one time?
I know my crew would jump right out of their chairs screaming “yeah!!!” 🤣🤣😂
All that cutting and drilling seems like one step forward and two steps backwards for reliability.
Man's is looking to incur the wrath of the Geeksquad with these Edits.
not sure which is better..your mate having a "loo review" on the bush, or the little doggy chasing it around. let me know. great job Kev!. upgrades errr..hmm..possible and maybe hold up in the long term. thanks bud for the great video.
Love u Kelvin bro I am from India I am big fan of you😊😊😊
13:28 thats the trick you need to use if/when you have a Dino styled or named RC hehe XD Clever girl :D
those arrma tires made it 10x better
Great video Kev. The m2c upgrades on the xmaxx seem to be working really well 💯💥😀 I'm so pleased to see you do a review on them 😀
what a cute recovery team😆
