Hey Brother, this is probably my favorite video from you, and I've watched it 10 times and taken notes. This is the ultimate balance of entertainment and information for me. One of the reasons I bought an xMaxx! We also get to experience what a cool (and smart) dude you are. If you ever want to bash in Germany, let me know!!
Thanks so much, bro! I truly appreciate the feedback and you watching the videos! Hopefully, I will have more content like this soon in the future!💯🚀🔥⚡️⚡️🏆🏆
Ya, we started off the new year foggy. It's been super foggy here in Houston, too. But enjoying the new-year so far. Looking forward to getting my own XRT and Xmaxx soon. Just waiting for my end of year bonus to arrive. Lol. The only thing I'm going to upgrade are the steering servos and those monkey metal spur and pinion gears. Lol. 🌫🌫🚘🎊💥👍 Another great vid, Rocky!

I agree on adding the extra weight. I have full aluminum arms and bulkheads on my TMaxx. It is heavy and is a pain in the butt keeping all the screws tight
@@thunderrc i did it to beef it up a long time ago. I don't bash it hardcore like you do...yet lol. But once some else on it breaks really bad she is getting retired. Had her for 13 years now! I love it though

I saw it at times the truck wobbling in the air, and still, you were still able to land it . If that was me. I would have crashed it a long time . Thanks for the info 👍🏾
Yeah I think I'm unfortunately learning that the hard way too I've been steadily peeling him to see in 1100 KV hobby wings and all kinds of stuff off mine stock motors back in it Max 5 aluminum hubs in the front brother about like what you just showed except for mine's got the max 5 instead of the stock ESC but I think you're definitely on to something there and you don't want to keep on and the wheels I got Outcast 8s wheels on mine but I think they're all right
I agree but i did have to put threaded hinge pins in because every tiime i landed or turned to crazy one would pop out but now it's a beast.. i run 46/22 gearing and works good like your gearing
With these traxxas cars, light weight with minimal upgrades as possible is key. But man it's so hard not to upgrade! My maxx is about 2-3 pounds heavier than normal.🤣 just put a castle motor In it. Hardened steel hinge pins are next! Thanks for the content bro! I need an Xmaxx!
2 things I would add in are the rpm rear hubs and drive cup sleeves so they don’t crack. But stock modified is the best form of xmaxx for bashing, highly agreed
@@runnerbaba I’ve broken both the upgraded front and rear hubs with the larger bearings and not like once or twice but 10 plus sets of front hubs and carriers. I’ve yet to break the rpm rear hubs and aluminum front hubs that thunder recommends. The stock drive cups I had were cracked by 10 battery packs through it, so I got the twice as expensive upgraded traxxas ones. A month or so goes by and I decide I want to redo the diffs so I tear it down to find my upgraded drive cups are splitting. After finally getting the hubs figured out I wasn’t just going to sit there and keep putting traxxas upgrade parts on if they were going to fail regardless. Reached out to our local hobby group and the xmaxx bashers all told me to get sleeves. So I ordered another 2 sets of traxxas upgrade ones which was $60 but I also got some aftermarket sleeves for $20 to put on them this time. It’s now been over a year and 100+ battery packs and I haven’t had a issue from them since
Dig you channel & love the vid. I am about to grab an XMaxx and my plan was to sell the ESC w/o ever using it on Ebay and buying a Max 6. Would you talk me out of that?
I'm a huge Traxxas fan, especially a fan of the Xmaxx but I'm not crazy about the Steering servo, I go through quit few of them do you upgrade servo or just use the stock Xmaxx servo...we love the Thunder and looking forward to what's coming💯👍👍🔥
What about this with the M2C chassis brace and either your wobble shaft or the M2C shaft? And potentially skid plate/t-bone style skids for the bottom? Also have you ever ran a traxxas wide kit? It’s wider than M2C and looks good, wondering how you find it holds up. Cheers 🍻
With the M2C chassis plate your will be fine , but if you start adding more metal with that you are gonna run into more problems like snapping your steering rack and bell crank. Yes I have tried the wide kit and I don’t like it It puts more weight on the steering rack and bell crank. Thanks for watching ⚡️💥💯💪🔥
Good Video man, I see you are recommending to just cut a center drive shaft in 2 pieces and create a DIY wobble shaft… Just curious, what did you think about the m2c center drive shaft? I like mine and it has held up nicely over the last 9 months well
@@thunderrc thanks for the advice bro, appreciated! I actually just ordered the Hot Racing spur and Robinson racing pinion after watching this vid. My X-Maxx motor burned up recently so once it’s replaced the gears and go in and back in action.
Great Video again Thunder!!Great that you are updating your thoughts on the trucks based on your experience..Would there be a standard size servo you would recommmed that can be used with the adaptor.Its just so difficult to turn them especially on grass! Looking forward to your thoughts to decide!..:)
I know this is a older video you said keeping it light is everything, just wondering what your xmaxx is at weight wide I just bought a heavily modified one from a friend getting out of the RC car hobby, was just wondering how much more this one is than yours.
Great video! just a quick question on your steering tie rods. Are you still using the stock plastic ones or do you think adjustable aluminum ones are better?
No doubt that Traxxis is a great company, but the prices is what makes me stay away from that brand. But I do agree with u Thunda light weight is most definitely the way to go. That's why I'm sticking with ARRMA 3s and 4s models, they r so easy to work on and they r light too. But im buying a 120amp blx esc and a savox servo for my granite v3 3s. Which budget friendly servo would u recommend?? Stay safe and can't wait to see what 2023 has in store for all of us.
Can the 1.5 module be installed on the original engine? I only see 13T sprockets and a 35T pickup because you have 24 by 46 here? do you have pins in the engine mount?
You can do it but you have to remove the pins and screw in the motor mount really really tight without the pins. It can be done. That would be sick to bash with KT!!!
Cheers! What suspension setup do you ride on your Xmaxx?i just try to figure out which spring/oil combo is the best for big air and off-road bashing. Or do you drive everything stock?Greetings from Austria
Thanks for your video and the tips , On own experience… After having 7 x max in 2 years… I lost 4 ( !!!! ) esc and 3 servo’s In 12 months… So I must say that I disagree with the stock option Be good .. because they are totally garbage and I feel like traxxas keep the same stock esc and servo without upgrading ( like a good normal company will do for her customers ) Maybe so we are as a consumer skip spending more money on aftermarket parts who knows 🤨🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for your support! So sorry to hear you have had bad times with the esc and servos… yeah they are not the best for sure. With that being said I have had good luck with the stock electronics before but I feel like that is a hit or miss thing.
Traxxas’s engineering department should be absolutely ashamed of themselves when it come to the stock servo and the tires (not sledgehammer) for the XMAXX. Absolutely disgraceful. I’m looking for a great replacement servo for the XMAXX, any helpful hints? Someone was telling me the Reefs 500 RAW was really good.
Yes, I agree with you. They should have a metal Servo an air for a car this magnitude in price. Great server upgrade could be any fifth scale. Servo reefs are the best.
yep learned 20 yrs ago with hpi savage you can add all that metal but when you crash nothing gives,,, well it gives just takes out more , not only did you bend a arm you bent everything right up to your TVP ... and guess what ?? cha ching when that plastic a arm would have been the only thing that broke. KISS method and traxass parts are actually cheap, sent all my armma down the road on ebay .spent enough on M2C and it still breaks and is even more heavy.. had to stop heavy bashing my surface rc visa is maxxed out. but i like quads and planes , jets ,boats, too fyi you can pick up xmaxx motor and esc new for cheap on ebay . everyone is convinced they suck . not the best but hell run them till they die. if armma was smart they'd go like they did with 4s kraton . both exb 6and 8 i had were a money pit of bent parts crappy diffs . never buy the first version lol let them fix all the crap wait a yr. imo and you can't call xmaxx v3 they just put bigger bearings n the hubs. and if you buy one with the old thin bearings new just call them they''ll send you the new hubs etc foc.
I bet the neighbors love the sound of a grand piano being dropped out a third story window over and over hell yeah!!! 💪💪🔋🔋⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️📡📡📡👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

@@thunderrc 100% Thats life 😄 and yet .... i won't replace my x max for other rc car , thats still the king of bushing for me 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Whats your gearing??
What gearing
22/46 👍⚡️🚀🚀
Traxxas’s engineering department should be absolutely ashamed of themselves when it come to the stock servo and the tires (not sledgehammer) for the XMAXX. Absolutely disgraceful.
I’m looking for a great replacement servo for the XMAXX, any helpful hints? Someone was telling me the Reefs 500 RAW was really good.
Yes, I agree with you. They should have a metal Servo an air for a car this magnitude in price. Great server upgrade could be any fifth scale. Servo reefs are the best.

Xmaxx or Kraton 8s brotha!!???

What WD40 do you use on your plastics?
WD40 Penetration
yep learned 20 yrs ago with hpi savage you can add all that metal but when you crash nothing gives,,, well it gives just takes out more , not only did you bend a arm you bent everything right up to your TVP ... and guess what ?? cha ching when that plastic a arm would have been the only thing that broke. KISS method and traxass parts are actually cheap, sent all my armma down the road on ebay .spent enough on M2C and it still breaks and is even more heavy.. had to stop heavy bashing my surface rc visa is maxxed out. but i like quads and planes , jets ,boats, too fyi you can pick up xmaxx motor and esc new for cheap on ebay . everyone is convinced they suck . not the best but hell run them till they die. if armma was smart they'd go like they did with 4s kraton . both exb 6and 8 i had were a money pit of bent parts crappy diffs . never buy the first version lol let them fix all the crap wait a yr. imo and you can't call xmaxx v3 they just put bigger bearings n the hubs. and if you buy one with the old thin bearings new just call them they''ll send you the new hubs etc foc.
