Gds makes the best hardened steel pinion and spur I run 20t gds pinion with gds 50t spur and max 6 punch level 5 for one year now and no damage to the gears so far
Sweet! Il check them out! Thanks bro! Hope your subbed to the channel 👍👍👍
@@KingsRCI absolutely agree gds hardened spur and pinion. Or gds spur and extra hard Robinson racing Pinion are also great combo. Also check your mesh sometimes it’s best to loose the motor pins and set mesh yourself bro. But it’s hard to beat WFO gears if you can get them. Best of luck
@@charlesmeeks766 thanks brother, will diffinitely get the gds gears... I usually push the gears together as im tightening the screws.. meshing seems to be ok for me (as far as i know it 😂).. but thanks again guys!!! Appreciate it! Hope the people with the same problem are going through these comments and helping them out too!.. 👍
Ya gds are my favorite for durability but you have to trim some of the plastic on the cush drive for them to fit
@@MrJRS79 guys thanks also for the sub to the channel.. looking forward to seeing you guys in the comments in my upcoming videos...👍👍👍
I was just having the same problems with my xmaxx its fairly new got it for my birthday in March I also just installed a max6 esc and I didn’t matter what gearing combination I ran they all stripped I found my Cush drive needed a rebuild and I did the o ring mod to get rid off the up and down movement and also put a piece of foil tape around both of the bearings I’m now running 25t gds pinion and factory 46t spur with no issue so far I even been self righting it so I say check to Cush drive👍
Thanks man.. i did do the oring mod but there is still some side to side movement.. il have to rebuild it again.. 👍👍👍
Great update and bash with the Rock n Roll Xmaxx brother. She moving for sure Bro. Wheelies for days! Oh man... You went thru a series gear changes there for a minute Bro. I'd recommend saga harden steel gears or go all the way with mod 1.5 gears. Wfo or B&M carry them.
Yeah i think i'm gonna have to look into the 1.5 for sure.. thanks bro 👍👍👍
It's not your ESC or your motor it's the quality of the gears. In 560 amps go through my xlx2 and I've actually never broken a b&m gear. I did however strip out my stocks gears with the stock xmaxx system
Nice running and bashing my friend,have fun👍😍
Thanks Rene RC 😊👍👍👍
Wow excellent run&location🤩👍🏻
Thanks bro
That’s obviously a mesh issue. How are you mounting the motor, and setting mesh? You definitely need to upgrade to the M2C motor mount and chassis brace. I run all that, with Vitavon Mod 1.5 gears, and everything is bulletproof. Anytime you change gears, you need to upgrade the mounting and meshing method as well.
Great off-road💯💯🤩🤩
WfO ⚙ ⚙ all day, stays on with two set screws and never strips out.
Yeah bro just got my 1.5mod gears, no branded.. will have vid up soon 👍
From the videos Ive watched it looks like some people have been recommending the GDS hardened gears. Ive bought one but havent installed it because I dont have the pinion yet but when I do Im getting the Tekno 18t
Yeah alot have reccomended the gds gears, seems to be the way to go.. just hard to get them, let me know how your luck turns out with it man... Thanks for watching bro! Hope youve subbed to the channel 👍
Great vid ... good detail 👍👌👍
Thank you Claire Cooper 😊👍👍👍
Try Vitavon racing development they make some serious Xmaxx upgrades and they even have Australian distributors 👍 You can't go wrong with Vitavon.
Check your bearings on the motor, i went through the same amount of gears until i found out it was the bearings in the motor that was broken. part is TRX3492
Cool running nothing will last in your hands 🤣
I know! I'm terrible 🤣
Your problem is with using the wrong pitch. Two gear manufacturers don't have the same cut even if advertised. I tend to pair gear together from brand. Also traxxas has hardened gears now. Lastly if you continue to have problems your allinement is off or a shaft is bent
Can you link me to something that says they have hardened gears now?
I've got an xmaxx 8s 800kv and max5 esc, ive found the solution to all these problems, as been though most brands of gears...I run 40t pinion and 46t spur and it flys!! 64mph ,Best gears ⚙ I've got and don't have no problems is saga pinions!! had the same 40t pinion for over a 13months and still bulletproof.and gds spurs. 🤙🏾
Nice bro! I havent had any breakages yet with my custom 1.5mod gears apart from the losi pinion im using is starting to wear out... alot of people seem to be very impressed with the gds gears, i will reccomend them too to the newbies 👍
@@KingsRC yeah cool I'm just using mod 1, I know a bloke who makes custom gears, he told me using 1.5 mod gears drains your batteries quicker?.. anyways take care bud, respect 🙏🏾
@@barrymckinsley9333 thank mate likewise.. my 1.5 mod gears is almost close to a 20tpinion 46spur 1mod size.. (so not really overgeared) i find the batteries last the same really... cheers
@@KingsRC Where/how did you get the 1.5 mod gears?
@@Xbot4Life mine was custom made by our local machinest, i pud a link down to one of my videos
I hope you found the right gearrs for this. All the gears shown strip easy, I use belt drives, gas pinion gears s and wfo spurs. The belt drive never. Break as long as you put 2 set screws on all hold downs. Wfo has been hit r miss, saga racing seems to work well. Stock and tracing are brittle. FYI anyone having this issue. After 1 years of stunting in my yard, I overpower to get fast run ups and constantly use full break using Xlx2 100kv geared high. I’m harder than anyone with full still start. Belt is the way to go honestly. Ive never worn one out or replaced them. You do have to go through it every 5 runs make sure everything tight. I’ll be doing a 10 year of failing till I got it right. lol I know your pain brother!
Completely correct brother. Great video man.
Thanks bro!
Damn my xmaxx with maxx 6 punch setting 5 20 50 gearing and Earplugs in center diff doesn't keep its nose up in a jump always ends up nosediving even with full throttle.
The smaller spur gear can’t overcome the huge truck and tires as fast. So what’s happening, the gears are trying so hard to get it moving they destroy their self. Larger spur gear gives the gear more power over the truck and the big tires.
Thats true bro, i put on an 18t and 50spur steel gears and it last longer, only thing is less tourque but at least it last,,
Thanks for watching bro, hope your subbed to the channel 👍😊
It’s actually more torque but less wheel speed which is why you notice on that gearing it wheelies super easy and snappy but the mid air correction and rotation isn’t as responsive when it comes to flips and big corrections. It takes the initial torque to initiate rotation but you need wheel speed to balloon tires and help the truck complete its rotation.
Anyways sucks about the gears man, I have a max6 on punch 4 in mine with a Tekno 20t and stock 46 spur and haven’t had a single issue yet. I have beat on it and been doing a lot of asphalt wheelies and drifting and throttle snaps on jump landings for slap wheelie’s and I haven’t stripped a thing. I almost wonder if you have a bent motor shaft or spur drive shaft. Iv seen these where even the slightest bend will shred gears no matter what you try.
Also someone stated above check your cush drive. Idk how long you have had the truck and they don’t need rebuilding a lot but check it anyways just to make sure. It also could be a combo of those.
Just sounds like something is out of alignment in one or more spots. Hopefully you get it figured out man! Always a bummer when gears strip. Also gears are so expensive for the Xmaxx. You’ll get it figured out tho!
I e noticed setting my own gear mesh works better. Those pins leave a decent gap between teeth
The stock Xmaxx electrics are pretty gutless but it can still manage to bust both of my stock spurs. I switched over to GDS spur, so far so good.
Nice bro! I haven't had any problems so far with my 1.5mods
good job nice 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks you bro! 👍🤜🤛
Great 👍😍👍 ~~~!!!!!!!
Thanks YooPDTV
Awesome RC and bashing
hey I used to put a tiny bit of auto grease on the spur so it's not as harsh on the meshing when it rolls u should try that
Cool bro. Il give it a go 👍
Get a Robson racing pinion and a hot racing Spur Gear gear i run 20 50 with max 6 runs great
Too much heat and friction in the gears and they get soft, then when you add the torque it just rips the metal apart.
Which one should I go for between X-maxx vs Losi 2.0 DBXLE?
My requirement is should be fun and speedy and durable
I dont own a losi dbxle..
The xmaxx would be more durable as long as u take care of your throttle control on landing to avoid breaking gears.. if you want speed and scale looking i would say the losi...the reason i love the xmaxx is fun factor is 10/10 and its light for its size.. hope this helps anyway dude! Stay tuned!
Are you still using the stock motor???.
b&m makes some great gear sets to match your motor kv they have alot of surface area i run a 30/30 on 780kv 30lb truck and iv never stripped a gear
my top speed is 65
Yeah bro, only problem was there all out of stock at the time 😐
Is that 65kph bro? Or mph
@@KingsRC i can see that being an issue now i got mine 3 months ago and mph
Have you tried stock gearing with punch 5 ? Meaning punch 5 and 18/54 gearing
Yrah bro it just gets ripped up too
Have you sorted it out?
@@Sheldinator
Check this out bro, havent had any gear problems with 1.5 mod gearing so far 😊
th-cam.com/video/BDYsapEU6OY/w-d-xo.html
Robinson racing Hardened steel Spur and Pinion gears would take whatever you want to throw at it trust me they will take that xmaxx
Yeah man alot of people swear by it, will diffinitely consider that.. ive put on some 1.5 mod gears, check out my other vids of it bro
I second that RR are good stuff
Ouch
you do know it said the 18 46 is only or speed runs and no jumping. it even said no hard brake or accretion. your just asking for it to go boom. the 50 is what you wants i say if you need the speed.
I Think they only recommend the 18-46 not to use for bashing and only for speed runs because the stock electronics may overheat... i think it has always been a design flaw with the stock gears and what theyre made of..my mod1.5 gearing hasnt yet had a problem.
Did u try punch 4? Maybe that would be sweet spot.
No I haven't yet, i put it back to normal and still breaks gears, i think its just if you land it wrong from a jump and throttle on landing
@@KingsRC true
@@KingsRC yea if you land on throttle you’ll break gears, doesn’t have anything to do with punch. That completely solves your issues here lol
@@V8chump yeah your right man its throttle on landing, but i notice if you had punch high and landing on throtle the chances of breaking is higher due to more tourque on that thottle, where as less punch wont solve the issue but 'some' landing on throttle may 'just' survive with throttle less tourque, hope this makes sense anyways 😅 thanks for the input and commenting man, please stay tuned 😊
@@KingsRC hell yea I’ll stay tuned! But yea I think it’s just about the wheel speed when landing (off throttle) so punch 5 let’s you hit much higher RPM before you land which is what does it, I always try to baby tap by brakes RIGHT before I hit the ground if I high high wheel speed, even if It’s gonna mess up my landing. That said I don’t have an xmaxx, I have the e revo 2.0 which has about the same gears as the xmaxx with much less power going through them, probably why I haven’t stripped all my gears yet! 🤣
I just burned my Vxl-6 esc and when I went to the max6 (default punch 3) it feels really laggy when it comes to air control so I feel like traxxas escs are always set to 100% punch since there’s no punch setting to change and everything felt immediate on the stock esc. gonna give punch 5 a try later and let ya know how it compares to stock punch, that should tell us if it’s the punch or the gears givin you problems 😁
U need mod 1.5 gears bro
Yeah
Are you sure that your motor is tight and not moving around
Yeah bro, i have checked that too.. i found its also landing on throttle causing the issue, specially with high jumps, just shreds the gears on impact..too much tourque going through the small tooth gears..
Thanks for watching bro, hope you subbed to the channel 👍👍👍
Cool info now I no
which Motor u running in this build?
Stock motor here, then i upgraded to a spektrum 1250kv with 8mm shaft. Check out the update vids bro 👍
You need the gears mod1,5
I got it now bro! Thanks for watching stay tuned!
th-cam.com/video/BDYsapEU6OY/w-d-xo.html
are you running the stock motor?
Yeah its stock motor..
@@KingsRC I’ve been having problems with my gears stripping even with the sock motor and esc. Mesh is fine
@@maherkahala5269 another way to strip gears is landing on throttle.. when you land and you hit the throttle at the same time puts alot of stress on the gears and cause failure.. its also my problem, just have to try not to do it.. let the car roll rather than try to correct it when your too close to the ground.
Oh and don't forget to hit the sub if you haven't yet bro 🙂
@@KingsRCyeah you’re right. I’ll just have to keep the nose of it up from the start of the jump. I subbed. Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully those gears hold up to punch setting 3
Mod1.5
Turn the punch down.
Your meshing your gears to tight
You are doing something wrong, doesnt make sense.
Yes mainly, I had to change driving style..😐... landing on throttle was the worst... i learnt to just let it crash rather than trying to correct in the air to get good landing.. the xmaxx is super durable to tumble and crash...
