Just stopping by to see me run the Mini Maxx. My video guy forgot to push the record button on the camera when we were running. 🤣😭 Fun times driving with you again Mark. Great video!
If traxxas starts bring out rtr 8th scale race truggy and buggy they would be a game changer. I like tekno but traxxas has parts support on another level
Ok now usually I’m a little cautious with the new Traxxas releases cause they’re usually higher priced. But if this thing goes 30mph and also comes with a Lipo included, I’m definitely down to grab one. I already have 3 of traxxas BL2s platform cars. The 4wd slash, and the 2wd stampede and rustler. Not only are they super durable, but fun to drive and actually pretty quick for 2s. Not everything has to be 4wd and go 50mph to be a ton of fun.
It’s on pavement though, small cars don’t like high traction, just ask my mini LMT lol I bet it’s going to be a great truck and I can’t wait to see a mini Maxx Slash, $250 with a brushless system and a battery and charger, yes please!!
This Mini Maxx is what I wanted to see in an upgraded Mini Revo. The current drive train is simply too weak for the weight and power the Mini Revo has... I don't use mine for fears of breaking at any time.
@@schneider1112at least there’s tons of parts and upgrades out there for them! Just get it out and enjoy it, I’ve got a mini slash and it’s awesome! And I can’t wait to see a mini Maxx Slash, that will be awesome!! It’s also pretty cool it’s $250 with a battery and charger!
Holy crap! Finally! Ever since i saw the mini quake at ihobby expo moons ago i always said why hasnt traxxas made a mini maxx yet?? Its here!! Yaaayyyyy
Mark has the absolute BEST rc car channel on TH-cam. Hands down... Always great videos. Always professional. Always fun! If you got friends that like RC let them know about Marks channel!❤
Traxxas NEEDS to make a new 2wd buggy based more on the slash platform, with bigger wheels and more suspension travel than the bandit now, even better would be a more realistic and plush ride like their desert truck. I would buy one in a heartbeat!
I really hope they have a pink or orange color. Those 2 colors are my favs. But, this thing looks awesome. No pink or orange option won’t keep me from grabbing one. 😂
So long as it can wheelie and backflip with the BL-2S system (which it should be able to since I can backflip my BL-2S Bigfoot, which is 2WD) then I see no reason to upgrade the power train
Hello, I have a question in the 5:00 minutes of the video the presenter tell that minimaxx have 1/10 scale slipper clutch, but on the document on line is non specified. Thank You grazie Enea.
That is one of the local shops I go to. Good place and staff. I don’t race but their inside track is huge. Think they have a smaller one too but not sure.
What's up man! Fellow DFW youtuber here haha. I saw you last week at Hobbytown practicing for the Saturday race. Wanted to say hi, but didn't want to interrupt. Love the content, keep up the great work!
@@MarkSantaMaria dang dude! I should have, I just try to respect some of the more well known folks and let them have some normalcy. Hopefully I'll catch you around sometime tho, love the RC hobby as well!
Nice, but is it going to drive better than my V2 Stampede VXL? I have that one dialed in. Very durable and pretty stable. We'll have to see. I'm sure that the mini Max will be even more durable 👍
Not replacement. Competitor. The BLX Groms are $70 cheaper and offer a lot for that price. Although I dare say that the Mini Maxx is going to prove to be the better mini. It’s larger, build like a Maxx, and has a much higher capacity battery (the 1400mah that comes with the Groms is pitiful. I’m lucky if I get 10 minutes of run time with it).
I heard a rumor that a vxl version might be coming in the spring...i dont know if mark can confirm it but according to a hobby store near me its definitely a potential option
I think Traxxas should’ve done the demo on dirt/gravel/grass. That’s where these trucks really come into their element. Pavement is too high-traction for an HCG monster truck. Especially a 1/14 HCG monster truck
Or just discontinued altogether. Plus the diffs for the Mini Maxx are apparently slightly larger than the diffs for the Stampede/Slash/Ruster 4x4s, so the E-Revo would need a major redesign for that to work
I’m hoping so. The BL-2S system is enough to send my 2WD Stampede up onto its wheelie bar (as in the rear wheels aren’t even touching the ground and it’s just rolling on the wheelie bar wheels for a couple seconds) and I can backflip it off large jumps, even though it’s a 2WD. This truck is smaller and 4x4, so I think the BL-2S system will prove to be plenty powerful
Arrma recently released BLX Groms. $200 for a 3S-capable brushless system (with a gyro) and all the factory upgrades (diffs, shocks & driveshafts). But still running the same crappy battery. 1400mah is way too low. You definitely get a better battery with the Mini Maxx, and it’s a bigger truck.
any word on the Jato leaks? saw pics of it running at that event. but only some fuzzy ones. the name on the side of the car 100% said Jato though. which is odd since it looks like a buggy and not the road basher that the Jato used to be.
I bought my carbon for 220 on sale, it goes on sale all the time on Amazon and it’s probably one of my favorite trucks. In three months since June 15, I bought over 81 different RC‘s and that is one of my favorite I have some short videos up to showcase all the new RC’s hopefully some longer video soon.
Their like a 1/14 scale rcs. Tbh, if they are giving everything out of the box and 30+ speeds for 250, thats kinda good. Their main goal rn at traxxas is to basically try to get new people into the hobby, specifically kids who's parents do not want to spend a lot of money on an rc that wouldn't break in a matter of days
This is far from a copy of the Arrma Grom. The Grom is a proper small scale. This is a mixture between small scale and 1/10. Time will which will prove to be better, but the Mini Maxx has a lot of potential
Very depressing to see them pushing that BL2s system.. it’s definitely a step up from the brushed models that they offer, however they already have a mini VXL motor and ESC it’s kinda like the dumbed it down a bit..
I don’t think the BL-2S is going to be underpowered in this truck. Plus this way you can put 1/10 brushless systems in there, like the Hobbywing 10BL120. I’d prefer that over the limited options there are for small scale systems.
Just stopping by to see me run the Mini Maxx. My video guy forgot to push the record button on the camera when we were running. 🤣😭 Fun times driving with you again Mark. Great video!
I was wondering why you didnt post that footage! You were right next to me!
😂 someone wont try to ask for a raise
Your to much of a pro driver to let him flip ya, he just ended up flipping himself lol😂
30 mph out of the box 😂 stop it! You know maybe 27.
It was cool to see you in Marks video!
I'm getting one for sure . Maxx is my favorite platform
Awesome. Now traxxas needs to release a 1/8th scale buggy to answer the arrma typhon tlr tuned rtr
If traxxas starts bring out rtr 8th scale race truggy and buggy they would be a game changer. I like tekno but traxxas has parts support on another level
They are! It's the new Jato buggy and it looks rad!
I agree 100000%!
Don't hold your breath on that one?
They have the sledge destroying it

Now I like this! This thing is going to be a total TANK!
It really loves to flip over
just like the 1/10 maxx
Have you driven a Maxx? I’m sure a wide kit will come out soon.
@@earthcoloredeyes5043 typical traxxas move. Create a problem and sell the solution, why can't they fix those issues right out of the box 🤯🤯
It’s on pavement though, small cars don’t like high traction, just ask my mini LMT lol I bet it’s going to be a great truck and I can’t wait to see a mini Maxx Slash, $250 with a brushless system and a battery and charger, yes please!!
The ramps didnt help with the slot in the middle
Looks great sadly probably means the 1/16 revo gets the axe next like the 1/10 did after the sledge
I take my 1/16 Revo Everywhere I Go, I have it built to the point of Bulletproof.
This Mini Maxx is what I wanted to see in an upgraded Mini Revo. The current drive train is simply too weak for the weight and power the Mini Revo has... I don't use mine for fears of breaking at any time.

@@justinfraziet6843 thank you sir!
@@MarkSantaMaria Very welcome Mark. You put in all the hard work, you deserve the credit that comes with it👍
Traxxas is really overpricing their stuff now, but this truck seems pretty well priced considering it’s a full RTR with a battery included.
Ahhh, the Traxxas/aftermarket upgrades for these is gonna be great
Great video, this is top of the list for a first small rc and for sure the Christmas list.
Can't wait! Gonna place an order for mine tomorrow!
Traxxas NEEDS to make a new 2wd buggy based more on the slash platform, with bigger wheels and more suspension travel than the bandit now, even better would be a more realistic and plush ride like their desert truck. I would buy one in a heartbeat!

Can't wait to get one of these. Thanks for updating and stay safe
This is so sick!!! I cannot wait to see and drive one!!
Awesome driving on the water 👍👌
Awesome video Mark! I have the Xmaxx and Maxx. It's obvious I have to have this too! Lol thanks man!
Looking forward to this one!
Traxxas needs the mini UDR.
Useing same patent drivectrain
2S is perfect. It’s not about speed, it’s about bash!
So long as it can wheelie and backflip with the BL-2S system (which it should be able to since I can backflip my BL-2S Bigfoot, which is 2WD) then I see no reason to upgrade the power train
Bro, that max hydroplaning was off the hook 👍🏻 Mini Max looks awesome👍🏻
Hello, I have a question in the 5:00 minutes of the video the presenter tell that minimaxx have 1/10 scale slipper clutch, but on the document on line is non specified. Thank You grazie Enea.
This is gonna be wild with the vxl 3s Lipo
You should come to Hoosier rc hobbyplex sometime
That is one of the local shops I go to. Good place and staff. I don’t race but their inside track is huge. Think they have a smaller one too but not sure.
What's up man! Fellow DFW youtuber here haha. I saw you last week at Hobbytown practicing for the Saturday race. Wanted to say hi, but didn't want to interrupt. Love the content, keep up the great work!

As a guy who grew up in a haunted house, i get the irrational fear of seeing someone walking in the distance everytime im in a buolding alone lol
Looks cool be good to see them running off road would prob be plenty fast enough 😊
They got a light kit coming for them too
When I saw the advertisement on traxxas email , I had to come find the mini maxx videos , I knew you would have it
I preorder my mini maxx can't wait to get it i ordered the blaxk one.
I can't wait to get one
I'm excited to see their new racing buggy they are making to compete with Team Corally.
The new Jato looks sick
@@drewnewcomb2909 Right?
is it powerful enough on 2S to do backflips? or will we need to order the 3S hop-up parts right away?
Wow it was a real video. Now time for the bandit 4x4 (oops I meant the “Jato” 4x4)
The losi mini t/b 2.0 come stock with a 3s capable system so safe to say its under powered 😂
Nice, but is it going to drive better than my V2 Stampede VXL? I have that one dialed in. Very durable and pretty stable. We'll have to see. I'm sure that the mini Max will be even more durable 👍
How's the TT-02 build coming along?
Looks like I found a grom replacement.
Not replacement. Competitor. The BLX Groms are $70 cheaper and offer a lot for that price. Although I dare say that the Mini Maxx is going to prove to be the better mini.

Okay Traxxas secret agent you know you’ll get one first. When you make that video include upgrades like a wide minimaxx kit.
I live in Carrollton, TX, know any good spots for speedruns?
Traxxas is cooking rn, kinda wants me to cop one and get back to the hobby a bit
Cool car!
Arrma should do 1 5 scale like x maxx tho using simple staff like on there 4s model s motor mount etc make it easy to work on
Next is the jato (or bandit 4x4)
Cool 👍
What a nasty tease!!!! 🤣
I dig it!
Ooh vacation rc
is this about the same size as a stampede or smaller?
Smaller. The whole point of it is that it’s a “mini” RC. 1/14 scale at the largest
And the Winner is , MXJ's Hiper Go . !!
NO!!! FALSE!!!!
@@KennethSmith-te2xwDisagreeing !!! It's all a Conspiracy I tell 'ya . lol relax , we all got faves.
@@davidrivero7943 yo I get it, and you’re right I do like Traxxas a lot, but I also have a MJX Hypergo and I really don’t like it
@@KennethSmith-te2xw I have both , times 2 & prob .is , I like them all .
@@davidrivero7943 lol I get that
What scale is it?
Badass!
Perfect for my toddler 😅
250 bucks for a small durable maxx with lipo and charger is really good❤
Unfortunately it’s $270 now, but it looks like it’s gonna be worth that price
So this is bigger then the hyper go mini maxx look alike sick
Sometimes i'm at the track till 3am doing maintenance. Creepy is the only word!
yeah no thanks... i would need a friend... hahaha
Wonder if there will be a wide maxx kit for it
So do you own that rc shop and track?
Negative, I sub lease an office there.
Seems like it was on its lid more than it's wheels. So yeah definitely a max
I think Traxxas should’ve done the demo on dirt/gravel/grass. That’s where these trucks really come into their element. Pavement is too high-traction for an HCG monster truck. Especially a 1/14 HCG monster truck
Feel like the 1/16 e revo will get some drive terrain rework with these diffs
Or just discontinued altogether.
Plus the diffs for the Mini Maxx are apparently slightly larger than the diffs for the Stampede/Slash/Ruster 4x4s, so the E-Revo would need a major redesign for that to work
Wide max arm’s hopefully
Sounds a lot like Rlaarlo Omni Terminator except the OT comes with 3S battery and center diff (not slipper).
I’ve heard some negative things about the Omni-Terminator though
that water footage was incredible!!
Drag slash roller/slider would be a cool new car
Looks awesome, but for me Imjust have to much fun with Xmaxx'x!!!!! Bigger is better 💯
But it’s nice to have small scales you can bring with anywhere
@@falcondragonslayerYeah I guess, but I take Xmaxx's everywhere...
Hope Traxxas changes the battery compartment size. If not good luck finding aftermarket batteries that fit without modifying it.
Well it comes with a lipo and charger so you are fine. Maybe not the best batterys ever but still, you are good to go
@@polarlicht4758yeah I know that but I’m talking about aftermarket. Especially if you plan on upgrading to the 3s. Or something with more capacity.
It’s fast too
Peep at the RC Excitement boys 💪🏽 my home track!
That's gonna be insane when someone swaps a brushless system in there
It will be available immediately after release..the 3S system is already on the Traxxas website...
can you get this in a 3s version stock or gotta swap esc?
@@Mr_Macintosh420you will have to upgrade yourself, A 3S system is already on the Traxxas website under the accessories!!!
@@Mr_Macintosh420The motor is theoretically 3S capable (3300kv should be able to handle 3S just fine) but the ESC is capped at 2S
first sick car!!!!!!!
I am so getting one when they drop
I just need a mini maxx and a mini xrt/sledge and my life is complete
The one thing you can guarantee is that a Traxxas will definitely break in the cold
rubbish. traxxas plastic are awesome. this thing is a tank! best in class.
I want the blue one 😁
There’s my green maxx slash right there
Is it going to be a little wheelie monster ?
I’m hoping so. The BL-2S system is enough to send my 2WD Stampede up onto its wheelie bar (as in the rear wheels aren’t even touching the ground and it’s just rolling on the wheelie bar wheels for a couple seconds) and I can backflip it off large jumps, even though it’s a 2WD. This truck is smaller and 4x4, so I think the BL-2S system will prove to be plenty powerful
I just test drove a blue one this Tuesday
And..?
@ I Love it. It’s quick
Dope
Looks like Traxxas just bit@h smacked the grom craze… big time!
Yeah the grom looks crappy cheap
Arrma recently released BLX Groms. $200 for a 3S-capable brushless system (with a gyro) and all the factory upgrades (diffs, shocks & driveshafts). But still running the same crappy battery. 1400mah is way too low. You definitely get a better battery with the Mini Maxx, and it’s a bigger truck.

The Problem with the Mini Maxx is the $249 price.. that almost buys you an Omni Terminator Carbon Edition at $269...
I bought my carbon for 220 on sale, it goes on sale all the time on Amazon and it’s probably one of my favorite trucks. In three months since June 15, I bought over 81 different RC‘s and that is one of my favorite I have some short videos up to showcase all the new RC’s hopefully some longer video soon.
LOL trying to make Gregs car flip, end up flipping urself
The mini eRevo was too fast & unstable. How do these compare?
Their like a 1/14 scale rcs. Tbh, if they are giving everything out of the box and 30+ speeds for 250, thats kinda good. Their main goal rn at traxxas is to basically try to get new people into the hobby, specifically kids who's parents do not want to spend a lot of money on an rc that wouldn't break in a matter of days
To fast wtf iv never herd of that befor were the gell you coming from mini revo is perfect on power and speed need a beter chassi
Actually we already knew they were gonna copy Arrma grom.. atleast I did😊
This is far from a copy of the Arrma Grom. The Grom is a proper small scale. This is a mixture between small scale and 1/10. Time will which will prove to be better, but the Mini Maxx has a lot of potential
It's quiet cause James ain't there 😂
Stop talkn them friends up lol hackles up😃
Don’t think I missed the traxxas rep saying “productS” hard S there!
Probably hinting the new jato

Nice
How many ducks were harmed in the making of this video??! I may have to report you to the poultry police!! Cool max, man!!
lol none... sunk the xmaxx before they were hit... hahaha
I called it I said at HobbyTown USA I said I want a mini EMaxx and I got it now
I just talk to the Traxxas dealer Tuesday he told me if you put 3s on it you got to upgrade the center diff other wize it will blow it out
I’ll probably end up getting the center diff anyway. I’d take a center diff over a slipper clutch any day
yea no xmax on creek , gators get them , i know, lol traxas tough
Very depressing to see them pushing that BL2s system.. it’s definitely a step up from the brushed models that they offer, however they already have a mini VXL motor and ESC it’s kinda like the dumbed it down a bit..
